Ryya in the Prince of Tennis
"Hmm...," I said. Then I tilted my head up a little bit, still holding the paper. "Hyotei?" I said. "Yeah, Hyotei Academy. You just looking around?" said a voice. Looking at the sign, then looking directly at me, smiling. He had short, dark gray hair, dark blue eyes, and was wearing the school's uniform. I said politely, "Yeah. I was just walking by." "Oh, I see..," he said. There was silence for a moment. Then I looked at my paper. "Well, I gotta go now. Maybe I'll come stop by again and tour around Hyotei Academy later. Bye." "Bye," he said and waved back. He was right there trying to help me out and I just walked away from the conversation not knowing his name. "Sigh. I should have at least gotten his name." I whispered still walking. "Now I got to go visit Seigaku."
~Later~
Pong! Pong! Pong! "Seigaku's tennis courts." I said in my head. I looked at the paper. "Give this letter to the captain of Seishun." I walked around and tried to look for someone who had a jersey on. I walked up in front of a guy with dark brown hair with blond highlights, dark brown eyes, and was wearing (mostly) blue and white (jersey). "Excuse me." I said. He stared at me and looked at the paper I was holding. "Do you happen to know who the captain of Seigaku is?" He said,"Yes, I do.." Then he was interrupted by another guy wearing a jersey and a yellow shirt. "Captain Tezuka. Oh, your talking to someone. My apologies." he said. "C.. Captain Tezuka?" I said surprised. Tezuka replied, "Ah, you wanted to give me something?" "Yes. It's a letter from my boss, Mr. Deikun. He wanted me to also give you this present." "I see. Thank you." He took the letter and present. He opened up the letter and began reading it. He then said," Give him my thanks, Ryya." I was surprised that he knew my name. It might of mentioned it in the letter. "Okay, captain Tezuka" I smiled "and happy late birthday." He nodded back. I walked away and waved.
"I wonder what's in the box," Momoshiro said. Oishi replied back, "Don't know, but that girl said it was from her boss. It might be his birthday present." "Oh..." "It's obvious isn't is, Momo?" Oishi said.
~2 weeks later...~
"Ryya!! Wake up!!! Come down here right this minute!!!!" My Stepmother yelled. "Ugh.. I wanted to stay in Tokyo, but I shouldn't have chosen to live with... her!" I said covering my face with the pillow. "RYYA!!!" "Alright alright I'm coming." I got up and ran downstairs. "What is it this time stepmother?" I said trying to sound so nice. "Well.. eheh... YOU gave your stupid dog my favorite slippers to chew on?!" "Well I.." "Don't use that tone with me Ryya! That dog is banned to go in this house young lady! You understand?!" "Yes stepmother." "That stupid Siberian Husky!!!" "Sigh, I guess that's it for Jojo." Jojo started to whine and stare at me with those puppy eyes. "Sorry Jojo, but you have to stay outside. I'll give you a doggy treat. Here." I went to the kitchen and gave him a treat. "Good boy." Jojo barked. I ran back upstairs to go change.
~After changing...~
I started to walk around Tokyo and realized I haven't stopped by Hyotei Academy yet. "There's a tennis court here." Pong! Pong! "Is this... street tennis?" Swoosh! The tennis ball flew right pass my face. "Oops sorry," he said laughing. Swoosh! Then he did it again. He tried to hit me, but he kept missing. They all grinned. I said, "Huh, you got bad aim." "What the.. what did you say, you brat?" He tried to hit me again, but this time, he looked serious. Swoosh! His racket dropped. He looked behind him. I looked behind him. I was in shock. "It's that guy I saw at Hyotei." He hit another ball at him. "W.. w... what are you..?" he said stammering. The guy from Hyotei kept hitting the ball at him again and again. "Okay okay! I'm sorry!" he finally said. He had his arms over his head. "Don't apologize to me apologize to the girl," he said holding the racket to his side. Then he closed his eyes and smiled a bit. Then he looked back at me. "I'm sorry." They all ran. I kneeled down to the ground, panting. "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "People will never learn how to behave themselves and leave other people alone." "Yeah," I said silently. I saw his hand, he wanted to help me get up. I grabbed his hand. "Thanks." "No problem." I smiled. My name is Atobe Keigo by the way. My name is Ryya. We shook hands. "Nice to meet you Ryya," Atobe said. "Nice to meet you too," I said back. "Sorry that I was being so disrespectful last time," I said and looked at him with a frown. Atobe replied, "It's okay." "Well I got tennis practice today." He reminded me that I was going to visit his school today. I said, "I was just going there!" I froze and asked, "Do you mind if I tag along?" He looked at me. "Sure."
~When we got to Hyotei...~
Atobe Keigo brought me to Hyotei's tennis courts. "So this is where the team practices?" I said. Atobe replied, "Yeah. We practice everyday." "Do you know who the team captain is?" "Yeah.... your staring at him..," Atobe said and smiled. "I see..," I said slowly and looked at my watch. "Oh no!!! I'm late!!" Atobe looked confused. "Late for what?" "I'm sorry. I have to go home immediately!!" I waved goodbye and rushed to my stepmother's house. "Bye," Atobe said.
~When I got home...~
I rushed inside. I panted. "Hmph.. your late!! There going to be here in 3 hours and you need to set up the table. Hurry up and get going!" my stepmother said. "Who is coming again?" "GET GOING, NOWW!!!!!!" she yelled. "Okay okay.."
~After setting up the table...~
"There I'm all done with everything," I said. I felt relieved. "There here!!!" my stepmother cried. "Oh no! Is the table set?! Is everything cleaned?! ....Is.." I rolled my eyes and blew my hair that was in front of my face. "C...come in and put your things down. Make yourself at home," my stepmother said after she opened the door. "Thank you Ma'am," a voice said. "Wait, that voice sounds familiar," I whispered to myself. I hid behind the walls that was close to the table. "Sit down sit down! Do not worry, I got it all taken care of. You can just enjoy yourself and eat." The people who were sitting down at the tables started to dig in and eat. "Atobe?!" I said outloud. I covered my mouth immediately. Atobe started to look around when he heard his name. He glanced at me. "Oh no.. he saw me," I said. Atobe got up and said, "Umm, excuse me.." Atobe raised his hand. "Where's the bathroom?" he said. "Go straight and take a left," my stepmother said. "Thank you." He got up, but then I quietly walked and tip toed to Atobe. I kneeled under the table and Atobe bent down to look at me. "Wah..," Atobe said confused. "What are you doing here?!" I said silently. "What are you doing here?" Atobe replied back. "I live here with my stepmother." "Oh, I see. Well my parents are suppose to be guests at your house and I had to come with them." I looked down. "Oh..." "Atobe sama! Aren't you the student council president?" Atobe lifted his head up. "Uh, yeah I am," he said. "I'm actually..." I crawled back to the kitchen. I leaned against the wall, then I heard a knock. I got up. "Yes? Is that you stepmother?" I said. "Ryya clean this mess up." "..." "NOW!!!" my stepmother yelled. "Yes stepmother," I replied. "Wait, they already left?" "Yeah, they left two minutes ago. Now, GO CLEAN THAT MESS UP NOWW!!!!!!" She yelled loudly. "Yes stepmother..," I said lazily. I cleaned the mess up, changed, and went to sleep.
~6 days later...~
"It's time to start my job again..," I said. I sighed and walked to my boss's apartment. He's taking a vacation here, in Tokyo.
~When I got to my Boss's apartment...~
I rang the doorbell. Ding dong! "Who is it?' said a dark voice. "Ryya..," I said. "What's the password?" it said again. "Monkey??" "Correct," said the computer. I walked in the door. "Ah, Ryya, your here. Your next mission is to deliver another message to Rikkai Junior High School," my boss said slurping a cold drink. "Here's the letter." I took the letter out of his hand and left. "I wonder what it says this time," I said silently to myself.
~When I arrived at Rikkai...~
"Rikkai Junior High," I said. I kept walking until I arrived at the office, then I bumped into someone. "Oww!!" I said "Ouch..," said a voice. He rubbed his head and opened one eye. I was on my knees rubbing my head as well. I picked up my books and the letter my boss gave to me. I got up. I looked at him. He had very black and curly hair, his eyes were green, and he was wearing a yellow shirt with a black stripe and white shorts. I picked up his racket and handed it to him. I said, "I'm sorry. I should or you should watch where your going next time." "Neh?? Uh, yeah," he replied back. He took the racket out of my hand and got up. "So, what's the rush?" He kept staring at me. "You look very familiar," he said. "Oh.. eheh. Really?" "Hmm..," he wondered. He walked slowly around me. "Straight, long black hair with bangs, brown eyes...," he said. I blinked. "Your short height..." I twitched. "..your face, that necklace, what your wearing." I got angry inside. I just hate it when people call me short! He stopped and tried to think some more. Then he finally said, "Your Ryya. Right?" "Mhmm..," I agreed. "And, your Akaya Kirihara, aren't you?" "Yeah, heh.. It's been a while. Ry - ya" "Yeah, and you've changed. I can tell," I said. I tightened the books to my chest. "Well, you haven't changed at all. Your still short and..." I twitched and got even more angry. I interrupted him. "Is that all you've got to say?" "Yeah.." I sighed. "I got to go deliver this letter to the office. See you later Akaya," I said with a smile and started walking. "Yeah, bye shorty." He turned around and walked the other way. I turned my head to him. He lifted up his hand and walked away, putting his racket onto his shoulder.
~Arriving at the office...~
I walked in the door. "Hello," the lady said with a smile. "What can I do for you?" she said, "I'm here to deliver this letter." "May I ask, from who?" I gave the letter to the lady. "Um, it should say in the letter." "Okay, thank you," she said. "Mhmm.." I walked out of the office. I said and smiled, "Mission accomplished.." I looked around. My eyes popped. "Sanada? Sanada Genichirou?" My eyes followed him. "I haven't seen him in a while either." A few weeks after I started to work at Mission Co. (the job I'm working at now), I met all of the best Rikkai players. Those players were, Seiichi Yukimura, Genichirou Sanada, Renji Yanagi, Akaya Kirihara, Hiroshi Yagyuu, Masaharu Nioh, Bunta Marui, and Jackal Kuwahara. They are all serious about winning. I like their team, but I don't really like how they play tennis. I got a little sad for a second. I called my Boss and told him I just delivered the letter. "Good job Ryya. You will receive your reward when you come back to my office. After you do that, you are all done and have completed every mission. You have to wait until another mission pops up. Till then, you can just relax and do whatever you desire," my Boss said. "Thank you Mr. Deikun," I said happily. He hung up.
~Later...~
I went to Rikkai's tennis courts. I watched them play for a while. "Nyah? Your here," a voice said. "Akaya!" I said. "What are you still doing here?" he asked. "I was just wondering what you guys were doing, and from the looks of it..you guys are still trying to do your best to win." "That's correct," another voice said. It was Seiichi Yukimura. He looked at me with a smile. As usual he had a jersey behind his back. "How are you doing Seiichi? Is your condition alright?" I asked. "It's fine. Why are you concerned, Ryya?" I had to think for a second. "I heard that you went to the hospital a while ago and came back in time for the National tournament. I was just wondering if you were okay," I replied. "Oh, I see." Seiichi said. "Wow. Your captain is really nice and friendly," I whispered to Akaya. "Not really..," he said and crossed his arms. "Oh, really?" Akaya closed his eyes. I watched one more game and went home.
~The next day~
It is about 8:40 in the morning. I got up and went to go change. After I changed I went to go visit Seigaku Academy. When I arrived there, the freshman were practicing. Huah!! Huah!! Huah!!! I was looking around and I saw the same guy I saw the other day when I was delivering the letter to Captain Tezuka. The guy with the jersey and yellow shirt. "Run 2 more laps!!" a voice called. He glanced at me for a second, then he looked back.
"Hey, it's that girl again." Momoshiro said in his head. "What are you doing Momo? Focus!" Kaido yelled. "I'm going to go get a drink of water Viper." Kaido didn't say anything. Momoshiro went to go get a drink of water.
While I was walking around, I saw that guy again drinking water. I walked up to him. He saw me and lifted his head up to face me. "Hi there," he said. "Uh, hi. Is it...Momo?" I said back. "My nickname is Momo. My name is Takeshi Momoshiro, but you can just call me Momo." "Okay. Well, my name is Ryya. It's very nice to meet you." "You to. Hey, aren't you that girl that was here last time?" he asked. "Yeah. I was the one delivering the letter and present to your captain," I replied. Momoshiro nodded while he was drinking from the water fountain. "Who's your friend over there with the green bandana?" I asked. Momoshiro replied, "He's also Seigaku's regular, Kaido Kaoru." "Why do you call him Viper?" "His play style of tennis." "...Oh, I see." I studied Seigaku for a while and talked to the Regulars.
~Later...(about 4:00 PM)~
I was walking around Seigaku. "I'm tired. Sigh..," I complained. I sat down on the side of the water fountain and looked at my reflection in the water. "Why so down, Ryya?" a voice said. I looked behind me. It was Atobe. He had his hand in his pocket. "What are you doing here, Atobe-kun?" I said, sounding a little down. He walked until he was in front of me. "I don't know," he said and shrugged. "I felt like coming here. So, why you looking so down?" "Why do you care, Atobe-kun?" "Wow, you sure do ask a lot of questions." My eyes widened then got to it's original size again. "I'm just tired," I said. "Is that so?", Atobe asked. "Yup.." Ring!! Ring!! Ring!! Ring!! "My phone..Hello?" My stepmother was on the phone. "RYYA!!!!!!!!!" my stepmother yelled. I held the phone away from my ear and with one eye close. I held it close to my ear again. Atobe sat next to me."Yes stepmother?" I said trying to sound nice again. "What did I tell you about your stupid dog?!!" "Stepmother, he's not stupid. He just need to be trained well, that's all." "Just keep it away from me and my things!!! You dumb child!! Your so annoying, just go back to America!!!!!!!" I got really angry. "Huh, your stepmother is really mean," Atobe said. "Ugh, tell me about it," I replied back. "I heard that an-." I hung up and closed the phone. I couldn't take anymore of her complaints. I just wanted to yell at her. I put my phone in my back pocket. "I got to go Atobe. I'll see you later." "Alright, bye. Do you ever tell your stepmother how you feel when she starts yelling at you like that?" "Nope, she never listens to me and I just get in trouble even more. I'll accomplish doing that one day." "Good luck with that. Bye," Atobe said. "Bye," I said back. I waved goodbye and walked home.
~After 2 days...~
