******************
Morning, Echizen Residence

"Hey sleepyhead, get up and eat breakfast, you'll be late for school!" Nanjiro shouted from below the house, almost waking everybody in the neighborhood

"Dad!! You always had to do that?! C'mon your embarrassing me. And I'm already up!" Haruka got up, frustrated. She took a bath, adorned her school clothes, and went down to eat breakfast, she saw her cousin Nanako, waiting for her at the table and her dad at the bellhouse, reading a female model Magazine.

"Dad!" Annoyed, Haruka got a tennis racket and ball from the balcony doorstep at the patio, tried to hit the ball towards Nanjiro's head, but Nanjiro managed to hit it back, he used the feather duster to make a return to Haruka

"You still got a ways to go kid" Nanjiro laughed, Haruka scowled Ugh! my dad's such a pain, he never takes anything seriously.

"Haruka! you're breakfast is ready!" Nanako told her, and then Nanjiro went along with her. They ate together on the family table

"Haruka, how's aunt Rinko?" Nanako asked Haruka "Well, her recent job in England was good, honestly i was surprised by it, cause it was about a year ago since we both encountered and more surprisingly she just lives next door to my apartment i'm staying, she was overjoyed that we both had to meet each other since its already been five years"

Nanjiro never talked the entire time, which pleased Haruka. After eating, she went to school on her skateboard

She then stopped by a tennis shop that she and Ryoma went by when going to restring their rackets, they were the owner's favorite clients cause this was Nanjiro's favorite place.

"Hey old man, long time no see"

"Wait, that girl" the owner, looked back and saw her

"Haruka!!"

She smiled and gave him a handshake, the man shaked as well

"Good to see you again, how's your studies in England?"

Haruka leaned on the counter, facing him, "Fine actually, so how's the store? Business going well?"

He lifted his chin, "Well, fine as well"

"I see"

Then the man laughed and said, "I remembered still the first day when you came here with your brother and dad"

"Oh don't start talking about that time, it's embarrassing" she said, giving a crossed look.

"But you don't looked embarrassed"

"Yeah, but that's only to me"

"Hello sir"

Then Haruka and the owner looked and saw a girl at the door, she's wearing a Seishan Academy school girl's uniform, carrying her bag and tennis racket and wearing a summer tennis cap with her pigtails hanging on either side

"Ah Sakuno, come to string your racket are we?"

"Yeah sure" The girl then handed her racket, the owner then went back to the room where he works. The girl waited patiently, while looking around as if she's relieving memories.

"Hi there, you a customer?" Haruka asked her, she was drinking a soda she bought a while back.

The girl nodded, "I used to come here with my grandmother, she always comes along when i need to restring"

"Well who's yo Grandma?" Haruka Asked

"Sumire Ryuzaki" Sakuno replied

"Sumire? That name sounds familiar?" Haruka wondered, wait! Dad's high school Coach's name is Sumire Ryuzaki of Seigaku. Guess that means this is her Granddaughter.

"Curious, the owner seemed to know you" Sakuno asked, "What's your name?

"Haruka, just plain Haruka" She replied

"Oh"

"And if i'm not mistaking, you got to go now princess. Since we might be late" Haruka deadpanned

"Oh! I'm late, thank you sir!" Sakuno rushed out of the store, with Haruka behind her.

"I should've woken up earlier" Sakuno was running faster, but Haruka was cool and calm on her skateboard.

"Don't worry about being late princess, it's not like it's a serious matter" Haruka Jokingly replied, Sakuno scowled at her.

"Oh yeah, but this is a matter of fact that Tennis Practices in Seigaku require to be early everyday to avoid sanctions. Unlike you a Fudoumine student, don't have such"

"Whatever" Haruka said, skating ahead, "If i were you, I'd go back to the store since you forgot your racket."

"WHAT!! OH NO!!" Sakuno shrieked, realizing she wasn't holding her racket. But noticed that Haruka was holding hers. She ran back to the store which is already a quarter a kilometer away, but then threw a glare before running back. Haruka just snickered.

"Well, I've just met a new friend"

A/N: Sorry if this chapter is super SUPER LATE!! Difficult to think of a story chapter. Anyway this chapter is just the beginning, I might finish more chapters and uploading them faster.
