Princess of Tennis

Hugs, Questions, and America?

Yuki's P.O.V.

When we got down there, most of the non regulars were practicing, but the only two regulars seemed to be out practicing. I could see Kuni-chan getting angry now that most of the regulars were missing from practice.

"Let's go get the others, Yuki-chan." Kuni-chan sighed. Kuni-chan told me to wait outside the door, fearing that I will see guys naked.

"Regulars, whoever is not out there in five minutes will drink Inui juice." Kuni-chan commanded.

I started to hear rough shuffling and panicking from the locker room. I flip up my hood, just in case so that Syusuke won't be able to recognize me. I do want to surprise him afterall. Kuni-chan leads me to the court that the regulars usually practice on and soon, all the regulars come out except for my Syu-chan.

Kuni-chan frowns. "Eiji. Where is Fuji?"

"Fuji says that he wants to try Inui's new juice, nya." Everyone shivers at Inui juice and finally, Syu-chan comes through the gate. Magically, this tall third year appears right in front of Syu-chan and holds out a black changing, bubbly drink. Syu-chan downs the whole glass and the regulars start to gossip about his unnormalness.

I silently giggle, and decide that it's time to reveal myself to Syu-chan. When he answers glasses sempai's questions about the juice, I give a huge leap and end up having a piggy ride from him.

"Wha-" Syu-chan immediately stops when he sees who I am. Just like Kuni-chan froze, he froze too and I let go of him and try to snap him back into consciousness. He stands there with his blue eyes wide open, but he doesn't blink and just stands there like a statue.

"Mou...you and Kuni-chan are the same. You both ignore me after all this time and after I give you a hug." I pouted.

Kuni-chan coughs and blushes (although only certain people see). 'Don't call me Kuni-chan in public, Yuki."

I pout and make puppy dog eyes. "Please Kuni-cha-" I'm suddenly choked to death by some long and muscular arms. Waving my hands around, Ryoma and Kuni-chan decided to help me after seeing my turn a bit blue. However, the one who is hugging me doesn't budge. I am finally let go after all the regulars decided to help out. Gasping for air, I turned to Syu-chan.

"Syu-chan. I was going to die back there you know." He didn't answer. His bangs covered his eyes and he marches right up to me, grabs my arm, and drags me away from the tennis courts. "Wha-" I asked. "Syu-chan where are we going?"

We stop after we reach the back of the clubroom and suddenly I am bombarded with a BUNCH of questions just like Ryoma did with me; however, I never thought they would stop.

"When did you come back? How was it over there? Did anyone bully you? Did you date anyone? Did you get hurt? Was it hard? How come you didn't tell me you came back? Who else knows you are back? Are you ok? Have you been eating well? What have you been doing? Why didn't you come visit?" I finally stopped Syu-chan there for I feared that he was going to die due to lack of breathing.

"Yes Syu-chan. I'm FINE." I giggled. "I came back two days ago and only my brother, Kuni-chan, my family and you knows."

Syu-chan sighs in relief and I hug him once again. This time the hug didn't actually cause me harm.

"Yuki. Everyone missed you. Why didn't you come back?"

"Hm...I wonder how everyone is doing. Well, I didn't come back because I was realllllllllllly busy." and to show that I spread my arms as wide as I could. "I've already gotten a lecture from Oyaji and my brother." I chuckled.

Syu-chan frowns. "You should. You didn't tell us anything while you were over there and everyone was worried sick. Keigo wanted to go over there on his private plane just to check on you."

"Gomen, Syu-chan." He smiles at my apology and just like how we were little kids, he ruffled my hair, knowing he couldn't stay mad at me.

"Come on Syu-chan. Let's go back to the tennis courts. I am pretty sure that the other regulars are probably thinking that you kidnapped a girl."

We arrived back at the courts and Ryoma glances at me, and I nod at him, telling him I am fine.

After everything settles down, Ryuzaki ba-chan has everyone line up, the regulars next to her, the freshmen in the front, and the non-regulars in the back. As for me, I am standing right in front of her, with Kuni-chan and Syu-chan by my side.

"Everyone, meet Echizen Yuki. From now on, she is going to be a regular and a manager for the boy's tennis team."

"Hajimemashite, minna-san. Watashi no namea was (my name is...) Yuki. I am the older sister of Ryoma-kun over here and I recently transferred from America."

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
