Prince of Tennis: Ryoma's Mysterious Sister, Echizen Ryoka!

~Ch 2~ Something worth watching

"Hey... Seiryuu?"

"Yeah Hakuryuu?"
"You don't know where the tournament is, do you?"

Ryoka smiled at her brothers refusal to answer. "Lets get over your embarrassment and just ask for directions like a normal person Ryoma."

Ryoma didn't reply and he turned to a girl standing by a column. He asked for directions (Shin-chan: Quite rudely if you ask me...) Ryoka stared at the girl thnking that the girl seemed familiar (Shin-chan: Ryoka... I just don't get the point of erasing her from your mind) Ryoka's phone suddenly ringed telling her a message has arrived, she checked it out- Ryoka, dear.. she's that girl you sat with in the train. -Shin-chan. "Ah." The message triggered her memory.

'Heeehhhh... I thought we wouldn't see her again, maybe its fate...' Ryoka thought (Shin-chan: Ryoka....*sigh*)

Ryoma didn't bother asking for her name like a normal polite person would. He asked for directions to the tennis courts, she stumbled a bit but told them. 'For some reason I wonder why I feel that its wrong...' Ryoka thought, 'Whatever' Ryoka just brushed it off, usually her intuition is correct, but she didn't feel like listening to it today. Ryoma walked away with a "domo," Ryoka fallowed, but before she did she gave the girl a quick nod and a small barely smile then left. What she didn't know is that she left some girls staring at her with goo-goo eyes.

At the tennis court after a slight mis-turn (Ryoma was so blaming that girl)

Ryoma didn't look like it but I could tell that he was kind of disappointed, after all this was his first time to test the Japanese standards in Tennis(Shin-chan: Believe me Ryoma you will not be disappointed) She and Ryoma were lying by on a small hill when a familiar figure ran up to them. Immediatly she bowed "I'm so sorry!Did you get disqualified?" "Yep, 5 minutes late." The shy girl looked more guilty. Ryoka chuckled silently 'she reminds me of hamster, she seems cute on the outside and I am sure that she is a sweet heart, but she can be feisty like an hamster...' To apologize, she bought them both Ponta, when a blonde guy came along and started having some kind of which-one-is-more-better contest. 'Who was he again? He looks familiar..' Ryoka checked her phone when another message appeared. -He was also on the train ryoka...:Shin-chan. "Ah." (Just how lazy and dense is this girl?-Shin-chan) Before she knew what was happening she was standing on Ryoma's side of the court with the blond guy standing on the other side. There is no doubt, Ryoma is going to win, might as well wander around and come back later. She walked out when she saw an old woman standing next the the girl called Ryusaki Sakuno. The woman saw me slip out she quietly slipped next to her and asked "Not going to watch the rest of the match Hakuryuu?" Ryoka stared for 0.1 seconds then smirked, "Not like its a match worth watching Ryusaki-san." Then she walked out.

After wandering around until she came to a street tennis court..

Ryoka's POV:

'Never thought that I would see baa-san again,' Ryoka thought while chuckling to herself because she was using her oyaji's rude nick-name to his former sensei.

PONK PONK PONK.

Ryoka turned to see a boy around her age with red hair and blowing out a bubble with gum. His oppenent a bald brown skinned boy, again around her age. After a couple of minutes of watching she came to 3 conclusions:

1- These hits are very precise and strong, even a pro would have a hard time returning it, these boys were definitely exceeding her standards of Japanese players.

2- Perhaps coming to Japan was worth it, she could tell these are middle schoolers like her meaning that they would only practice this hard even on weekends if there were other players stronger then them. She could already tell that they were only using about 20% of their power.

3- She felt a tingling feeling....(Shin-chan: YAAAYYYY! is it a sign of love, first sight?! how romantic....) Ryoka decided: Yep, this is a sign that I want Ponta.

(Shin-chan: she's probably right.....)

She walked to the vending machine which was right behind the court where the middle schoolers were playing. While she was getting her ponta, the red-haired boy noticed her(well to him its a he since Ryoka was cross-dressing.) How could he not he was so cool looking with his 2 different coloured eyes and flaming red hair but what really caught his attention was his aura. It was very strong, It also looked like that the brown-skinned player was to focused on the match until after he hit the ball he found his friends unfocused eyes not on the ball. "Marui!!" At this noise Ryoka turned around with a ponta in her hand, at the same time the player called "Marui" tried to focus and hit the ball but it ended up going straight over the fence surronding the court and straight to Ryoka.

Ryoka looked up to see a ball falling straight towards her and a brown-skin player and his parter looking horrfied and they yelled "Watch out!"

Marui's POV:

I looked in horror as the ball quickly ascended to the handsome boy like a meteor soaring to earth. To many it may seem that the ball might just hit the red haired boy lightly and bounce off but he used all his strength in that ball by accident making it possible for the boy to have a light concussion.

The boy narrowed his unique eyes at the ball flying 122km/hr towards his face.

He then suddenly whipped out a tennis racket out of nowhere and hit it lightly back over the fence and landed in front of Marui then speeded off. Jackal seemed gobsmacked. So was I, how can a skinny boy perform such a move with what looked like a light swing and over the fence too?

The boy just looked at me with amused eyes, I could have bet 6 months without sweets that if he was a girl(which he is not) he would fall for him in an instant.

The boy just sipped his drink and walked away. With only a slight sentence to address them. "15-love".
