yuka PoV
I woke up after my dear alarm clock, interrupted me from my good dream, but due to frustration, I might have broke it by slamming it hard. I crawled out of bed and changed into one of my many jerseys that I owned and headed down for breakfast. As I went down, my brother and sister were already down eating breakfast.
"Ohayo." I greeted.
"Oh. Ohayo Yuka. Come down for breakfast."Yumiko-nee called out and I made my way to the dining table.
"Itadakimase."I said before I started eating.
"Yuka. You are going with me to Seigaku to get yourself registered into school right?"Shusuke asked.
"yeah." I answered back while stuffing my breakfast into my mouth, "Is Saeki-nii san there to?"I asked curiously.
"Nope. He went to another school."
"Too bad. It would be nice seeing him again."I said as I finished my breakfast. After that, I went to my room to get my stuff. Before I was done, nii san called out.
"Yuka. We are going now!"
"In a minute."I called back and grab my cap and ran out of my room, then out of the house to join my brother on the walk to school.
{FF
Soon we arrived at Seigaku, Nii-san took me to the teachers room to get register into the school. As he opened the door, he greeted an elderly woman dressed in all purple.
"Ohayo, Ryuzaki-sensei."
"Fuji, what can I do for you?" she asked.
"I like to register my sister into Seigaku."
"Leave it to me. You should go back to your practice."Nii-san nodded and left me with Ryuzaki-sensei."Kid, stay here will I go get the transfer form." She instructed and left me alone. Out of curiosity, I walked up to her table, spotted a file and picked it up. As I flipped it open, I realized at it was a training menu along with the team's weakness.
'Their training is too lenient. This is about a tenth of what I do.'
I continued browsing through the file until Ryuzaki-sensei came back.
"Here you go. Fill up the information and the school will lend you a uniform until you can get your own." She told me and handed over the application. I filled the whole thing within minutes and passed it back to her. She glanced through the form and told me to follow her to get my temporally uniform.
We went to the infirmary and she took out a set of uniform, "Fuji-san change into this."I changed into the given uniform, but one problem…it was a guys one." You will have to work with it for today. There are none other your size." Ryuzaki-sensei said.
"Don't worry about it."I replied while changing into it. Then out of the blue I decided to ask a question, "How does one become a tennis regular in the middle of the year?"
"Huh?What are you talking about?" the lady asked with a questioning look.
"Who do I beat to get into a regular position?" I asked again.
"Beat 3 of our strongest regulars and then I will consider. But what will you do if you don't beat them?"
"That's less likely going to happen. I'm pretty confident with my skills. But if I lose one match, I will train your team to be able to beat international school with ease. Is it a deal?" I offered.
"I will have to think about it. I look forward to your match after school. Your class will be 1-A."
"Hai sensei." I replied as she left.
{Short Ryuzaki PoV}
As I left the child, I made my way to one of the school's computer and did some research on the girl. But found no result, I decided to change tactics and searched for famous tennis player and out one who is a spitting image of the child. I smirked to myself once I have obtained the results. I made my way to the tennis courts and called for a regular meeting.
FF
"Boys, we will be having a guest later."
"Eh, who is it?" Eiji asked excitedly.
"That would be a secret." I replied and he frowned immediately, "the child has challenger our 3 strongest players."
"So who will be going against the kid?" Momoshiro asked.
"I'm getting to that. They will be Echizen, Fuji and Tezuka. I expect good results from you."
"Hai." The three of them said and were dispersed to do their own things.
Yuka PoV-
I was venturing through the school and I coincidentally bumped into my homeroom teacher. I followed him into class and he instructed me to wait outside until I was called by him. He went in to settle down the class then he called me in. I walked to the front of the classroom and introduced myself.
"Hajimemashite*, I'm Fuji Yuka. "
"Fuji-san take the seat at the back please." The teacher instructed. I nodded and made my way to that seat and sat down.
FF: lessons over
Lessons were boring and I really mean boring. I almost fell asleep in class, but I was planning a story in class. Yeah, I like to write stories, it is my hobby.[ Have 5, 1 finish, 4 to be continued]
I made my way to the tennis courts already changed into my jersey. Which consist of a green and white shirt and green shorts, I tuck my hair into my cap so it does not get in my way while playing. I spotted Ryuzaki-sensei with her regulars.
"Ryuzaki-sensei!" I called out to her and walked over.
"Ah. Minna san here is your challenger."
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Yu." I introduced myself. "So shall we start." I walked to the side and took out my favourite purple racket in my left hand.
"I will go first." The super rookie can out to the court.
"Which?" I asked.
"Smooth." He replied and I span my racket, it land on the rough side. I tossed the ball to him and said.
"You first."
"Best of one match. Echizen to serve." The referee announced.
He took the ball and toss it into the air immediately performing the Twisted serve, but I anticipated that move and hit the ball back with ease. We begin a rally until a scored a point.
[this might talk a while so…FF Game 5:0, Yu leading]
'This guy is boring.' I thought as he tries so hard to catch my balls, he had swap hands, but is still not working to win against me.' Time to finish this.' I dragged my racket on the ground as I was about to use one of my signature moves Clover Lob. It lobbed the ball high into the air and lands just at the line and bounces off.
"40:love, match point"
Echizen was panting very hard as I toss the ball for the last time and hit it back to me, as I hit it back, he started running towards the net and hit the ball back. He aimed the ball at the opposite side, but I used my half-foot split step and caught the ball and smack it back to his side. Due to his tiredness, he was not able to reach it and it scored me, my last point.
"Game 6:love. Winner Yu." The referee announced.
I walked over to Echizen and towered over asking; "Are you alright?" he silently just walked off the court. I also made my way off the court and took a big mouthful of water, before getting out my inhaler and puffing it once before placing it back down and making my way to the courts again.
{Little rewind, outside the court before the game ended}
3rd PoV
"This kid is good nya."Eiji said as the unfamiliar figure is not allowing their rookie to get even one point.
"Yudan sezu ni ikou." Tezuka said as they continue watching their rookie being beaten.
{Back to normal and Yuka PoV}
I went back to the court and realized my next opponent is Nii-san.
"Yu-kun. I let you serve first." He said with a sadistic grin. I nodded my head and toss the ball upwards and smacked it with my own twisted Serve. But he was able to counter it. After a few rallies, he used is Tsubame Gaeshi but it loses its effect when you hit it before it bounces so I hit it back to him. As the yellow ball comes back to me, I copied his move and performed Tsubame Gaeshi and earning one point for myself.
{outside}
"Naruhodo." Inui said out loud.
"What's wrong Inui?"Oishi asked.
"I just realized where I seen Yu-kun's playing style. It's from a famous tennis genius who entered the national league and is the undefeated champion for the past 3 years."
"Yu Takumi." Momoshiro finished Inui's sentence, everyone turned to him in a questioned look. "What? I did some research on her before. She is only 12 and has been holding the tennis champion title for 3 years. Who won't be interested about her?!"
"Fuji is going to have a tough match." Kaido mumbled.
"You got that right." Momoshiro agreed.
'For once they agreed on something' Eiji thought.
{Back in the court 4: love, Yu leading}
Nii-san was a lot more interesting as Echizen's match. They may have surpassed normal middle school standard of a tennis team but they were no match for me. I thought as I scored yet another point.
"Game 5: love, Yu lead. Fuji to serve."
Nii-san was panting very hard. "Yu-kun, you are strong. But you are holding back you full power right?" he asked in between puffs.
"Smart. How do you know?"
"Because, you are Yuka right?" those words shocked me, 'how did he guess it?' I just placed a finger on my lip telling him to keep quiet about it. He smirked and served the ball again. I did return aces and won the game.
He walked out of the court and a stoic tall burette came into the court. We shock hands and it started as he served the ball. I returned it and a rally began. After a while I found it weird that all the balls flies back towards him. I heard another junior yelling that it was Tezuka zone.
'Hmmm. Not a lot of middle school players know something like this. But there is one weakness, even if the ball goes to him, if he can't return it it's pointless.' I used another of my poker moves Jack Knife as I returned it back to him. The ball went flying to him, but the power was too much for him to return and it knocked his racket out of his hand.
"15:love." The referee announced.
He just glared at me as he picked up his fallen racket and served again. Between the 1~3 match the captain's power seems to be decreasing. I immediately realize the problem and start to slow down, but he still could not score a point against me.
{outside}
"Tezuka must end this fast. Any longer and it won't be good."Oishi mumbled, Fuji also realized it.
{inside}
"4 games to love, Yu lead." I pulled out the tennis ball and tossed it up, but I didn't hit it, but just caught it in my hand and said.
"I forfeit." I started making my way out of the court but was stopped by the captain grabbing my wrist.
"Why?" he asked in a stern and strict voice.
"Challenge me again once your elbow is healed, okay."I smiled and got out of his grip and left the court. But before I left the 2nd year with spiky black hair blocked me way.
"Takumi –san, please give me your autograph." He yelled and pulled out a notebook and a marker. I took the marker and signed his notebook and passed it back to him. He squealed with joy and bounced out of my way. Tezuka walked up behind me and I asked.
"What's up with him?"
"He is a fan of yours Takumi Yu-san." Another tall guy explained.
"Damn it, not another one."I mumbled. I sprinter to my stuff grabbed them and started making my way out of the courts. Then my hyper active fan started chasing me.
"Takumi-sama where are you going?"
"Home!" I yelled back and left, but was able to hear what Ryuzaki-sensei said.
"Don't forget your deal."
{After running off}
'Damn it, I thought after coming here, I wouldn't be overcrowded by fans.' I got my school stuff along with the uniform and went home.
FF
As I opened the door, Yumiko-nee was already home and she asked how was my first day of school. Soon Shusuke-nii came back and asked,
"When did you have that Takumi Yu name?"
"It's a fake name I made to lead the reporters off my trail?" I explained.
"You are going to tell them about it tomorrow?"
"yeah." Mom came home not long later and we ate dinner and went to sleep.
FF: Next day
I woke up early today and dressed myself and made my way to school first.
{FF: After everyone came for practice}
After the practice, Ryuzaki-sensei asked everyone to gather around.
"We will be having an assistance coach who will help out with the regular and normal training. She has the power to make you run laps like Tezuka. Yu-san come out." I was wearing a jersey jacket and the girl's school uniform came up to the courts and smiled.
"Many of you know me as Takumi Yu, but my real name is Fuji Yuka. But just call me Yu; I am your new coach who will train everyone to be the champions." I told them. Some of them cheered along with the regulars, but I changed from my smiling face to a sadistic one. "Be ready, my training is difficult." Which made some scared.
