The Goddess of Rikkai Dai || Prince of Tennis

Ch. 2

Izanami's POV

" 1-0. Your turn to serve, Seiichi-kun. " I tell him. " Ah yes. Well, here. " he serves, fast. " Crap. " I ran to it, and hit it back but fell. I was glad that I got to return the ball though. I stood up and we both kept rallying.

" Game to Komatsu-senpai. 2-0 "

" Game to Yukimura-buchou. 2-1 "

I gave him a smile. " I guess I'm pushing you well, right? " he nods. ' Yep. He's serious now. He isn't smiling. '

I served; and this was a twist serve. He tries returning is by a volley but fails as it spun on his racket. I served again; a normal serve but fast. He returned it; as I did too. We kept rallying the ball until I was pushed to the baseline; to my luck there was a basket of balls there, I quickly picked up one without anyone noticing; and returned the ball. " Ah. Izanami-chan, you know that there's only one ba-- " He returned the ball but one fell to the ground " Say what now? " I smiled. " Hn. But how was that-- " His eyes turned to the basket of balls behind me, near the baseline. " I see. " We rallied continuously; but I knew I couldn't use my left against him. It'll be useless. He can counter with his yips. " Game to Komatsu-senpai. 3-1 " I sighed. " When are you going to get serious? It's not practice when the enemy isn't taking you seriously. " I said. " Heh. " We went back to our courts, as he served, I went to the net. I hit the ball back until.. ' He used it.. the yips. ' I stood there, with my eyes widened. I couldn't feel. I couldn't hear.. I couldn't.. All I can do is see. I see him talking, to what I think is ' Your turn to lose. ' No.. I can't.

--Flashback--

" Is there a reason why I'm brought to the U-17 camp, Saito-san? " I asked him. " Yes, you are here to be trained before you come back to your school. Fabulous, isn't it? " He exclaims. " You're acting like my uncle so I'm calling you uncle. Anyways, Ja ne. I'm going to court 1. Sign me there, okay? Sign me there once I defeat this Tokugawa Kazuya dude. " I said, walking off.

--After the match--

" It seems like you've defeated me. That was a good match, Komatsu-chan. " He says. " Ara~ Call me by my first name. It was 7-6. I thought I was going to lose. Also, I'm making you my big brother from now on. " I said, grinning. " I guess. Also, Don't lose, alright? Don't lose yet. It'll be embarrassing for you to lose especially since you've defeated someone from Court 1. Don't tell your friends about this tho, alright? " He tells me. " Alright, Kazu-nii-san. " I said. " We're not even blood related so I don't know if it's fine for you to call me that. " He mutters. " Eh? I don't care. My real big brother is a pain. " I said, huffing. " Oh, sucks for you then. " He gives me a short smile.

--End of flashback--

' That's right.. I can't lose. ' I broke out of the yips, returning his serve. " 15-40. " I heard. " Oh. You were at match point already? " I scratched my head. He showed a bit of shock but served. " Muga no Kyochi? And didn't you say it drains your energy? " I said hitting it back. " Everything to defeat you, Izanami-chan. " He says, as he hits it back with one of Kirihara's moves. " Very well. " I returned the ball. We kept rallying for who knows how long..

" Game and Match to Komatsu-senpai! 7-5! "

I panted. " I had to use my left hand dangit ! " I was about to fall because of tiredness until Yukimura picks me up. " Not letting you fall. " He says; smiling at me. I returned the smile as the two of us walked to the bench. " Komatsu-senpai that was awesome de yansu!" Urayama exclaimed. " Saa, you should practice more to be a regular when Kirihara-chan becomes the captain. Who knows? I might even make you the Co-Captain. " I said, smiling at him. " I'll practice hard, Komatsu-senpai! De yansu~! " He says, bowing before he goes to pick up balls. " You have a talent for picking up balls, don't you, Urayama-kun? " Yukimura says. I chuckled. " Hai! De yansu! " I rested my head on Yukimura's shoulder; about to fall asleep. " What time did you sleep, Izanami-chan? " He asks. " I don't know.. maybe around uh.. 3:00? Maybe 4:00. " I said, yawning. " Don't stay up again next time. We don't want you collapsing on practice. " I nodded. " Komatsu-senpai! Are you and Captain together now-- Okay uh.. Don't kill me! Sorry sorry captain! Sorry! " Kirihara says. " Kirihara, stop being so childish. I'm too tired to deal with this. I'm just resting on his shoulder so heck off. " I said, coldly. The team gasps. "I've never seen Komatsu-senpai this mad before. " I heard someone say. " Well, it's because Kirihara was asking her something about her and Captain being together I guess. I doubt they'll be together especially when Komatsu-senpai doesn't know a thing about love. " " True. " I stood up and served a ball to those two who were chatting. " Heck off. Can't you just shut up? Okay fine whatever. I'll go home, Seiichi-kun. " I said, walking off. As I arrived home, I saw big brother playing on the xbox. " Nii-san?! Playing without me?! How selfish! " I said as I launched myself to the couch; picked up my black and white controller, and joined him. " Iza iza smash him! " " I know idiot! Hurry up! " We both spammed the controllers' controls. " YES! Victory! " we said in unison. " Mom and Dad aren't going to be home until next two months, and Shoichi will be at grandma's house since they don't trust us so we have the house to ourselves! " Big brother exclaims. " Alright, Nii-san. A 1 v 1 on mobile legends, maybe? I'm bored. " I said, challenging him. " Alright but don't use Lunox if you don't want me to use Granger! " He exclaims, with a grin. " Alright, I'll use fanny instead. Heh. " I grinned. We heard the doorbell dinging. " Nii-san you get it. I'll go change into my home attire. " I told him as I went up to my room to change. Once I changed, I went back down and saw the ps 4 I ordered. " Yes!! It arrived! Say goodbye to xbox and hello to play station 4! " I said, grinning. " Yes!!!!! But we can't let mom and dad know about this. " He tells me. " I know, dum dum. " We set up the ps4, as we were about to game, we heard a knock. " Coming! " I said as I went to open it. " Rikkai? What are you 8 doing here? " I asked. " Just dropping by. You went home early so-- " Big brother went up to us and gave me my controller. " Hurry up. I entered the lobby for you. " He tells me. " Right. You guys come in! Whoever enters last, close the door. I have some business to attend to. " I said, running back to the living room.
