Mada Mada Dane

Chapter One

"Drop 250 Balls, and those who cannot obtain one must return home immediately."

"Are you serious?! You have to be kidding me?"

"I...I must get a ball!"

I watched from my seat and saw many faces I recognized catch a ball. Some had gotten multiples actually. Like Atobe, that show off. I wanted to laugh but then tensed up when I saw there was one ball left, too bad I already knew a certain someone who would get it.

A red racket shot it up and was grabbed by a hand. "Cheers!" Ryoma stood there with a smirk as others watched this random shorty get a tennis ball.

"Don't say cheers when you just suddenly left!"

"Can't breath Momo-senpai." Awe, I missed momo's brute hugs.

"Ochibi!" Oh goodness, Kikumaru always messing with Ryoma.

"We were worried Echizen! 3 days after the nationals and you just disappeared!" Can Oishi be anymore of a mom?

"Probability of Echizen being called here was 120% according to my data." No duh Inui.

"Fushuu~"

"Welcome back!!" Wait, where are those two?

"It's like always, huh everyone..." I could here some of the guys we played before talk. And then some weird bald guy call my adorable brother cute. Weirdo.

"How was America, Echizen?" Tezuka! He's gotten so much taller. Ugh I want to go and greet him...but I shouldn't. Not just yet at least.

"It was ok, cheers buchou." There were some guys who started talking to Ryoma and then the high schoolers got mad at the middle schoolers. I guess they weren't used to losing to middle schoolers.

"Coach Kurobe out of the 296 people, the 50 middle schoolers passed. And almost half of the players don't have a ball. And t-those are...high schoolers." I looked to see one of the employee's tell Kurobe. He was scared telling him that a bunch of high schoolers had lost.

"Doesn't matter."

"Those who didn't get a ball; please leave as soon as possible. As was the coach's intentions." An announcement was made and I could see faces filled with pure anger. There was a high schooler challenging a 'four-eyes'. Which made no sense because there were plenty around each other. He could have been more specific.

"You quite done yet?" Dammit Ryoma take off those glasses!

"Sasabe switched with Matsudaira Chikao." Kurobe whispered and I smirked. He had no idea how good my little brother was. My smile grew bigger as Ryoma played and copied Matsudaira's Magnum serve.

"Mada Mada Dane." I laughed, this was going to be interesting. I looked at Kurobe, maybe I could go down now?

"Yukio-" I was sent a glare and I tensed up a bit. "Coach Kurobe, when will I get to go down there and talk to everyone?"

"Tomorrow, the morning shuffles matches begin. Then, you will be introduced."

"Hai..."

***
It was six in the morning and I had never been more awake before. I was all set, breakfast had been eating, shower had been taken, I even brushed my teeth twice waiting for Kurobe.

"Ryoko, are you ready? Have you brushed your teeth and eaten?" Kurobe walked into my room, his long brown hair neat in place with that one long signature strand directly in front of his eyes.

"Yes dad." I rolled my eyes at him. I get his older, like 22 years older, but he didn't have to treat me like one of his kids.

"I don't like your tone. Now, let's get a move on. I'd rather not prolong this any longer."

I nodded my head, the guys were probably not going to be too happy about a girl joining. In just a short time Kurobe and I had made our way onto the tennis court where Momo was having a match versus a high schooler. All of my friends were waving at me with shocked faces. The most shocked of all was Tezuka.

"Everyone, this is Echizen Ryoko, she will be joining you in the U-17 camp." I gave a small wave as Kurobe finished. I didn't hear any yelling but I could see the angered faces of several guys.
