Fudomine

Sounds of flipping pages echoed through the room as Watani reviewed all her data. She glanced up at the clock and paused. "40 minutes…" she muttered softly to herself. She started packing up to go to the courts.

Jun was listening to classical music as she happened to look over at the clock that hung on the wall. "30 minutes. I should go before buchou gets mad." Jun mumbled as she turned off the music.

Shin panted as she turned off her treadmill. She wiped off her sweat as she glanced at her wrist watch. "I've got 25 minutes left. I have enough time for a shower."

"Breakfast is already set! I'll be off!" Shimoyama glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and her eyes widened. She put a toast into her mouth and ran out the door with her tennis bag.

"Fuwara! Fuwara!" Kimiko yelled out as she caught sight of her. Fuwara slowed down so she could catch up, and together they walked to the courts.

Mina confidently strolled up to the desk as she handed their line-ups to the person in charge, Shiki to her left. Soon, Watani was on the right with Jun a little behind them. Shin and Shimoyama followed shortly. Fuwara and Kimiko caught up to them and Fuwara nodded to Shiki and Mina whie Kimiko smiled brightly.

"Rikkaidai, isn't that Rikkaidai? The Nationals champions?" people whispered as they saw them at the table.

A little later, a large portion of Rikkaidai was there. The members of the tennis club were shouting, "Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai!"

"I'll tell you the line-ups so gather around" Everyone gathered around their captain. "Doubles two, Jun and Shin. Doubles one, Fuwara and Kimiko. Singles three, Watani. Singles two, Shiki. Singles one, me."

The regulars were warming up lightly doing stretches and passing balls to each other when their opponent, Fudomine, had walked up to the table and their captain, Tanaka Nao , gave their line-up to the person sitting there. Both teams soon entered the courts and stood in front of each other, the net in between them. Each person shook hands with the one in front of them, and the captains both said to each other, "It's nice to see you. Let's have a good game."

~x~

"Fudomine vs Rikkaidai Fuzoku will start now. Doubles two – Fudomine's Yuuhi Kin and Uzuki Fei pair vs Rikkaidai's Jun Lana and Shin Yuna pair. Please step forth."

Yuuhi Kin had thick black hair that came down to her breasts and she had magenta eyes. Uzuki Fei had straight, waist length black-brown hair and brown eyes. They both walked up to the net at the same time Jun and Shin did. The four of them grasped the hands of their opponents in a brief handshake.

"One set match, Rikkaidai's Jun to serve!"

Jun bounced the ball before catching Shin's eye out of the corner of her eye and nodded slightly to him.

Jun threw the ball in the air and served.

Yuuhi scoffed as she returned another ball back to Shin. "This is Rikkaidai's standards?"

Uzuki frowned slightly. " You shouldn't say that Yuuhi. They aren't regulars of Rikkaidai for nothing. They must have something up their sleeves."

"2-0, Rikkaidai leads!"

Shin took the ball and turned towards Jun raising a brow. Jun nodded towards her and muttered, " It's time."

Shin threw the ball in the air and served before running towards the net while Jun ran to the back. Ito Jei, who had waist length pink hair and black eyes, silently raised a brow.

"Yuuhi, Shin is coming to the net!"

"I know!"

Yuuhi hit a lob in the air which went over Shin's head and she smirked. Yuuhi was confused until she saw Jun leaping into the air behind Shin, smashing the ball which entered the courts so quickly that even though Uzuki went for it, she couldn't catch up to it.

Everyone from Fudomine was dumbfounded while the umpire called the score.

"Game! 4-0 Rikkaidai leads!"

Watani looked at her stopwatch to see that it's only been nine minutes since the match started, and already Fudomine looked ready to faint. Jun and Shina on the other hand, had hardly broken a sweat.

Uzuki accidentally hit a smash only to have it be intercepted by Shin who hit a drop volley.

"40-0!"

"Game and match! Rikkaidai's Jun-Shin pair! 6-0!"

"Yuuhi and Uzuki lost this badly?" muttered Tachibana An.

"No wonder you guys won Nationals consecutively. That was a good game." Uzuki said as she shook their hands while smiling.

Fudomine lost doubles as well with Fuwara and Kimiko winning 6-0 in five minutes against Mao Saya, who had hip length blue hair and piercing blue eyes, and Akane Kaya who had shoulder length black hair and onyx eyes. The Fudomine pair couldn't even get one point past them before the Rikkaidai pair were announced the winners.

Singles three… Watani vs Tachibana An.

"One set match, Fudomine's Tachibana to serve!"

Tachibana An threw the ball and jumped to smash it towards the opposite corner, but Watani was already there. An had a surprised glint in her eyes when she returned it so quickly she couldn't see it.

"Chance of smash towards right corner…100%"

"Game and match! Rikkaidai's Watani, 6-0!"

An and Watani both walked towards the net to shake hands and walked back to their team.

"With game count of 3-0, Rikkaidai Fuzoku progresses to the semi-finals of the Kantou tournament!"
