It has been awhile since me and Kunimitsu have really talked to each other. Strangely I find myself missing him when we're apart. It scares me, but I could never admit this to anybody...Don't tell anyone. It's our little secret, k?

It's after school practice and Ryuzaki has kindly volunteered me to practice with them. Old Hag. So now I'm stuck running. The only good thing about it is I'm 10 laps ahead of everyone and no I didn't cheat. It's not worth getting Inui disgusting juice over it.

shudders

Snap

'WTH?!'

Flash

'Wakattabayo?!' [It means: What the Hell is that? I slow down my pace a bit catching the sight of purple. A very familiar purple...SHIT!!

"Kizuka-san make this last lap in 30 sec. or drink my Super Deluxe Penal Tea." instructs Inui. 'I swear he wants to be a mad scientist when he gets older.' I cringe and blast off as if I have rockets on my feet. I pass the underclassmen and then the Regulars.

"Hi boys. Bye boys." I say with a wave.

Regulars POV

"How does she run so fast?" pants Momo. Ryoma smirks.

"This is like a walk in the park for Nee-chan." he says. The other give confused looks.

"Nee-chan is very athletic." They watch as Kizuka crosses the finish line under her time limit.

"She the bionic woman." comments Kaidoh. They all sigh and continue to run avoiding Inui's juice.

B2ME

"A new record Kizuka-san. 15.4 secs." says Inui. I smirk.

"At least I get to live another day." I say and walk off in the direction of numerous flashes. I tap the figure out he shoulder. She turns around and...

"IT'S YOU!?!" we yell in union pointing at each other with an accusing finger. I glare at her.

"What are you doing here? Spying?!" I shout. She smirks standing up straight cradling her camera.

"Actually no. I go here now. I'm the new transfer student and head sports journalist of Seigaku. Migoto Hazumi's the name, arguing's the game." she holds out her hand I slap it away.

"Yeah right and I'm not smart." I say crossing my arms.

"Don't even comment." she smirks.

"Like it or not I'm here to stay."

"Oh Yeah?!"

"Yeah!" electric jolts

"What's going on?" asks Ryuzaki followed closely by the Regulars. My glare darkens.

"She's spying on us for Fudomine!" Inui pushes up his glasses.

"No she recently transferred to mine, Fuji, and Taka's class. Now that I remember it, your that girl Kizuka-san had a confrontation with at the tournament, right?" she nods. Kaidoh pushes his way to the front of the pack and his eyes go wide.

"What are you doing HERE?!" yells an infuriated Kaidoh. We all turn to him confused. Hazumi smirks.

"Oh, Kaoru, so nice to see you again." she says. He glares.

"Fsst. I can't say the same for you." he mumbles darkly.

BAM

Kaidoh just got punched by Hazumi who now has a dark look on her face. Even I'm scared.

"Does Auntie know you talk to me like that? No proper greeting?" she asks darkly. Now I glare intensely as I go to get her off of Kaidoh but is held back by Kunimitsu. I sigh heavily causing him to let me go.

"Why does she keep talking to Kaidoh about her aunt?" whispers Eiji to the others. I smack my head at his ignorance.

"Obviously his mother is her aunt." I state matter-of-factly. They stare blankly at me still completely confused. As I go to explain it again Kunimitsu shakes his head putting a hand on my shoulder.

"It'll take awhile to sit in. Give them 10 minutes." I nod and we walk away to Inui and Fuji who is watching the conflict between the two cousins. I notice that Fuji-nii has a sadistic sort of smile on his face.

"You find it amusing don't you?" I ask uneasily knowing how he can get himself. He just gives me his usual smile. I sweat drop taking a step closer to Kunimitsu.

"He really scares me sometimes." Kunimitsu just nods.

"Kizuka, I forgot to tell you, you'll be helping out at the girls court." says Ryuzaki this snaps everyone out of their stupor.

"NANDE?"

"Because they need more help than the boys do at the moment." I sigh heavily.

"Fine."

With that we all head over to the girls court. I look around and become disgusted at the sight.

"They're amateurs." I state bluntly with a wrinkled face.

"Well you aren't exactly pro-looking yourself." retorts Hazumi, I glare at her. 'She doesn't even know the facts.' Ryuzaki gathers the girls team around us most girls giggling at the sight of the guys', I glare more, scaring some of them. Brave ones glare back.

"Girls meet your new recruit, Echizen Kizuka." some gasp and begin whispering, I roll my eyes.

"Well can she play anything like her brother?" asks a blonde girl. She was around my height and looked way too cocky if you ask me.

"No, I can't." I say simply, gaining confused looks from the guys. I smirk.

"But I'll let you decide if I'm good or not, in a match. I'm guessing you're the buchou." She gives me a suspicious look and she should because I'm being nice to her.

"Yeah you guessed right. The name's Mikaru Claire, buchou of the girls club." 'Obviously.'

"Well I'll go get my racket." I say walking away.

-After I walk away-

Claire begins flirting with Tezuka who, in turn, tries, with all his will power, to ignore her. None of the boys like Claire. She is considered to be a slut. And just happens to be Tezuka's fan-club president. It's said that she's slept with all the boys clubs, except the Tennis club. Luckily he is saved by a familiar little blonde girl.

"Tezuka-senpai!!" exclaims the little girl excitedly. She clamps onto his hand and drags him away from Claire, who is now fuming, to the other side of the courts.

"I made Regular! But I was wondering if you could help me with my form?" she asks cutely. He immediately accepts. 'Anything to get away from her.' he thinks. The others snicker as they watch Claire become the jealous green beast.

"Eiji-kun!" exclaims a red head. Eiji smiles brightly. They chat away as Hazumi tries to get Fuji's attention.

-As I Come Back-

When I come back everyone is doing their own thing. I spot Kunimitsu with Nami and quickly run over.

"Lolita-chan." I call. She smiles and waves.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask.

"Nii-senpai is helping me with my form." Kunimitsu nods.

"She's a Regular."

"Really?!" he nods again and I give her a big bear hug.

"Kizu-chan!" calls Eiji with a girl following him.

"I want you to meet Juni-chan. She's a Regular."

"Hiya!" she greets. 'She's as hyper as Eiji.' I sweat drop.

"Nice to meet you." I say and shake her hand.

"Are we gonna do this or what?" Claire demands more than asks.

"Thinks I'll win?" I side glance at Kunimitsu he smirks slightly but not enough for the others to notice.

"I don't know, Claire's buchou, the best on the team..." trails off Juni.

"Geez, what faith."

"I know you'll win." exclaim Nami and Eiji. I brighten up.

"That's my motivators." I laugh and head to the court.

When everything is set up meaning, Kunimitsu as my bench coach, Ryuzaki reffing and everyone else outside the gates...watching and cheering. Where Momo, Eiji, Juni, and Nami got pom-poms [That's the correct spelling by the way wait...on second thought I don't want to know. I shake my head. 'It's sad. Knowing them they probably mauled the cheerleaders.'

I sigh bouncing the ball with my left hand, my racket in my right. I throw the ball high in the air, too high, or so that's what it looks like.

"Why did you do that?!" yells Oishi, Eiji, and Momo but I ignore them. Ryoma smirks.

I jump up and smash the ball hard with the middle of my racket. 'Dead Serve.' Now I know all you reader are like, 'What's a Dead Serve?' well my friends I'll tell you. Dead Serve: is a high angle serve with LOTS of power. It has relatively normal speed but once it hits the court it stops as if it had never been in play. Cool huh?

"WTH?! Why didn't the ball bounce?!" shouts the blonde bimbo. I shrug.

"As if I know. It's your problem not mine."

"15-love." announces Obaa-chan. I smirk causing Claire to growl. I get back into position with a new ball.

"Oh and by the way it's called the 'Dead Serve.'" I throw the ball into the air, normally this time, and hit it. It goes over the net and she returns it. We rally for a few games before I decide to end it. It's getting boring.

"Game Echizen. Change court." we do as told walking over to the side with Kunimitsu. He hands me a water bottle which I take a small swig of and set down.

"I'm bored." I pout.

"Then finish the game and after practice we'll all head to Kawamura's Sushi Restaurant." I smirk.

"Fine, I'll keep that in mind." I say walking to the opposite side of the court.

-The Girls-

"Kizu-senpai is sugoi!" exclaims Nami in admiration.

"Yeah, she's even better than Claire, although that's not saying much, but she'd not even tired." says Juni.

"I'm getting some interesting pictures here. They'll come in handy later." comments Hazumi clicking away with her camera. The girls look at her suspiciously.

"What do you mean Hazumi-senpai." asks Sakuno. Hazumi smirks taking her face away from the camera.

"Blackmail." she says simply catching the attention of a very interested Tensai.

"What's this I hear about blackmail?" he asks getting closer to hear better. Hazumi shakes her head.

"Nan demo nai." [Means: It's nothing. She takes a quick picture of Fuji before walking off. "Weird girl." mumbles Tomo. Everyone nods in agreement.

-The Game-

"Game Echizen. Change courts." I smile as I feel Claire's heated glare on the back of my head. She's obviously a Tezuka Kunimitsu fangirl because of her annoyed vibe when I talk to him at change court. It sure enough was making the game interesting. She's actually putting up a fight. It's her serve now and she looks pretty tired.

"You know I don't want to humiliate you, so just quit now. Save face." I suggest non-chanlantly. She huffs panting hard.

"I won't give up!" she screeches. I sigh heavily. 'BAKA! It's match game. And I'm up 4 games.' I think irritably. We rally the last game. I want to give the impression that she is actually doing something. Too bad she just lost.

"Game, set, and match. 6 games to 1 Echizen Kizuka, the girls Tennis Club new buchou." I mock bow exiting the court. I walk away being stopped by Ryuzaki. Did I mention how much I despise her at anytime during this chapter? I did? Good. "Kizuka when you finish changing could go to my office and get the sheets for tomorrow's matches, thanks." she instructs more than asks. I glare but instead of retaliating I comply.

"Do I look like your damn servant, to you?" I mumble.

After Changing back into my uniform, I walk into the school to get the papers. On my way back I spot a light coming from the photography room.

"Now who would be at school at this time besides the tennis club?" I ask myself. Curious I peek inside to see that rude girl Hazumi hunched over a few pictures.

...Of me and Kunimitsu. Strangely the rest were of Fuji.

"Wakattabayo!" I exclaim angrily making her jump. When she recognizes me she smirks.

"Oh just something I thought interesting enough to be put in the school paper. I think it'll make front page. The headline: Boys' Buchou and Girls' Buchou Find Love In More Than Tennis." I fume at this.

"What.The.Hell! We aren't dating!"

"But you like him." I pause for a fraction of a second.

"Iie." [Means: no

"Liar you paused for too long." I cross my arms with a huff before smirking.

"What's with the gallery of Fuji-nii?" I ask waving the pictures around. She flushes confirming my suspicions.

"Looks like I'm not the only one."

"Ha! So you admit it!" she says pointing an accusing finger. I blink thinking back to what I said. 'CRAP!'

"Iie. What I meant to say is..."

"What's going on in here?" asks Ryuzaki we turn quickly hiding the pictures.

"Nan demo nai!" we say in unison. Ryuzaki looks at us suspiciously. I pull out the papers.

"Here's what you asked for." she takes them. "Thanks. You two should head home, it's getting late." we nod.

"Hai." and she leaves. We let out a breath we didn't know we were holding and then we look at each other.

"Let's call a truce over this. If you don't say anything to anyone about those pictures, I won't say anything about your crush with Fuji it'll be between us." I suggest. At first she looks skeptical but shakes my hand.

"Deal. But I'll tell you now I don't care if Fuji-kun knows or not. But I can keep your secret." I smirk.

"Well isn't this the start of a bright friendship."
