A/N: Sidenote of Kpop here!

(Totally Spies feelz?)EXO-Ls/EXOtics will totally understand my pain... COME BACK, Lulu, Galaxy and Panda!!!!!! We miss you! (But I know that going is better for them. I'm just being selfish here....SM Entertainment...WHY?!?!?!)

Sora's POV:

I rose early in the morning, having not one single drop of sleep. My breathing heavy, I dragged myself to the washroom and splashed water on my face. My reflection is the mirror looked dead tired...just how I was actually feeling.

Cousin....Seiichi....Ryoma.....I thought bitterly. This is all getting messed up! This is, what, only the 2nd week of school and I suffered from flashbacks, knowing The Child of God is the famous though mysterious heir of the famed Yukimura Union, Ryoma's the son of the, also famous, Miss Takeuchi, being pressured to win the interschool match and last but not least, meeting my so-called cousin who's violent, jealous and hates me. Oh great. And from the looks of it, he wants to destroy me. Violently, too.

Clutching the sides of the sink, I stifled a groan, striped down, and stepped into the shower. The hot water droplets gracefully rolled down my body, and my body hair felt a thousand times lighter. It yearned for the water, and I gave it to them. Sighing in momentary contentment, I showered a few minutes longer than usual but finally stepped out when Kano yelled all me to hurry up.

Quickly drying myself, doing my normal morning stuff and putting my clothes on again, I lightly walked out and hastily packed my school supplies and books. Rushing down to the cafeteria I snag a piece of toast, I turned to say goodbye when I saw him.

My "cousin".

Smirking.

Tears in my eyes, I ran down, feeling more betrayed than ever. 

Why was I so stupid? How..?!?!? HOW DID I NOT REGCONIZE HIS VOICE?!?!? I screamed in my head. 

Slowing down to a mild jog, I wiped my tears away. 

Ah. If that's my cousin....I will have serious competition. 

Shaking my head, I gave a thin smile. 

The world sure has a lot of twisted surprises, I thought with a sharp, humourless laugh. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unknown POV:

I smirked. 

He's nothing if the one year I spent with him was his true self.

That bastard. 

I laughed.

One piece at a time. 

I'll be better than him. 

I've already replaced his precious best friend in Honan. 

I replaced him. Easily too.

Ha! 

No one saw my eyes gleam with a red spark, soon engulfing my eyes in the sicky redness, so red it was like blood. Blinking, my eye returned normal, but traces of the lingering manipulative sadism was still there. Grinning, slightly to the insane side, I gracefully walked down the stairs, to class, skipping breakfast.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seiichi:

My classes were like only a loud buzz. My focus was split, and thankfully the teacher didn't ask me more questions after I only stared at my math teacher blankly, sadistically smiled, scribbled something complexed and snapped the chalk. Only Genichiro dared talked to me, and it was only a whisper of 'relax, Seiichi'.  I gently smiled at him but shook my head.

"You don't understand, Chiro-kun," I sighed. "Call me paranoid, but I feel like something is going to happen today. Something bad."

I didn't know how right I was until it happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryoma's POV:

For once, I didn't fall asleep in class. 

The teachers gave me approving smiles and looks.

But I thought nothing of it.

I was silent, as usual, but not asleep. I was thinking. And feeling really paranoid. A shiver went up on my spine, but I dismissed it. I was certain I was the only one thinking that something was going happen today. Something bad.

I didn't know how right I was until it happened.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora's POV:

Just as I finished changing, Ryoma barged in. Then he blinked at the sight, and coughed uncomfortably.

"Err.........The first match is in 10 minutes..." He said quickly. Then he smirked. "And buchou said that if anyone's late, they're disqualified and owes a match to Aka-kun."

People gulped, but I just looked confused.

"I get the disqualified part, but why is a match with Kirihara-kun so, erm, scary?" I thought out loud.

Realizing what I did from the surprised and annoyed looks people gave me, I immediately tried to say never mind.

"I actually have no clue. Something about 'devil mode'...?" Ryoma admitted. Seeing the incredulous looks people gave him, he quickly added," Hey! I'm NEW here! And so is Sora! ANYWAYS, the match is soon! Get warmed up or something!"

Ryoma gave me a pointed look, and slipped out the door. People scrambled out also and soon a sea of yellow, black and a tinge of red began to stretch and run a few laps. Seeing him--or, ahem, my cousin--coming towards me made me sick to the stomach. Whirling around, I started to also start jogging, but it quickly turned into a full out sprint. 

I knew the real reason why Ryoma and Seiichi helped me. I was part of the Iseya family, and therefore already have a connection with them. With the scandal going on, the heirs will need to stick together. Ryoma is technically involved, so he's, of course included in the heir "family" list.

As soon as my name was called, I looked at the weak-kneed though still proud looking senior and knew I will win 7-0. Easily, too. From a simple Quick serve to my personalised RAY, I demolished him. Since so far, none of my opponents knew how to do smashes--which were my weak spot, I destroyed almost everyone with my extensive stamina, speed and acrobatic techniques...all thanks to Stride and continuous practices with him (not his cousin....him and Sora's cousin are two different people) back in Honan Academy.

But then, my cousin coolly stepped in, sending me a mocking smile.

"Hey, Sora-kun!" He called out in fake cheerfulness.

Rolling my eyes, I forcefully threw the ball at him. "Serve."

He smirked. 

What happened next? I couldn't remember. Seiichi's voice sliced into my thoughts, but it was too late.

"Look out," Seiichi desperately screamed. "No! SORA!"

Soon, an array of colours blinded my vision and I only registered falling to the floor.

Kano..........

A/N: PLOT TWIST!!!!!! Eeeee!
