Momoshiro's POV:

Me and Echizen were preparing to go on the court. Why was it I challenged him? Out of my own curiosity for his so-called kick serve, plus Baa-san(Ryusaki-sensei) asked me to test him out for a reason I would really like to know.

I looked at the tree, when it started to rustle, at the same time I felt a small breeze, 'must be the wind.' I thought, But really, why do I get the feeling that we are being watched.... 'Whatever.' I thought, Echizen seemed to be looking at the tree to, but I just focused on stretching my ankle, it was twisted, but it would handle a 7th grader, he is just a newbie freshman after all.

Ryoma's POV:

Momo-whats its name seems to be thinking while stretching, I don't seem to remember a persons name unless that person either grabs my interest, or if good at tennis. Suddenly I felt the wind blowing and a tree rustle. I looked at the tree, just barely I could make out a figure, it seemed to have noticed that I noticed, and make hand signals, 'Ryoka.....*sigh* well I expected her to come here' I said with a small smile in my head. I send a small telepathy to her,

(Yes, the twins can do telepathic as well, not that anyone knows, and they don't do it often, Telepathic means that they can send messages to each others minds, like texting, but in Ryoka's and Ryoma's case, they can send messages, but they can't read each others every single thought, only the ones they allowed to read, sounds like a lot of work, but its rather comes just naturally.)

Telepathic communication POV:

Ryoma: Yo Ryoka, so what do you think of this goofball?

Ryoka: Well I don't think that he is very serious all the time, I mean I noticed how he noticed me move a little in the tree but then had that 'Whatever, probably nothing' face. However I take you noticed the same thing as I?

Ryoma: Maa, its kind of obvious. I plan to give him a handicap.

Ryoka: I think its more out of cockiness then kindness...

Ryoma: Hey, if he underestimates me on my size then, he needs to know some few things.

Ryoka: *Chuckles* Well I suppose it might be time to teach a few things. Anyway it looks like your match is starting, I want to focus so talk later.

Ryoma's POV:

Ryoma felt Ryoka block off. His attention went back to the match(well most of it) It was kind of obvious that he was a Seigaku regular, a 2nd year probably. 'Well Ryoka only did meet the 3rd years, I wonder if the 2nd years are worth my time.'

Short Ryoka's POV:

I put my head on my arm and stared at the two. In the end Ryoma will be the winner, but it was still interesting to see what this guy could do, A power player probably, considering that he just crushed that can over there, and also by the reaction by Arai, he must be a regular. I leaped to a lower branch to get a better view without all these leaves. Taking out a box of strawberry pockys, I started eating, 'Momoshiro Takeshi kaa? I wonder how long he can hold my interest?'

Normal's POV/Everyone's POV:

While Momo and Echizen was deciding who will serve, the freshman were wondering what was going on, "What was all that?" said Kaichiro and Katsuwo, while Horio just smiled gamely, "Oh you two don't know anything about tennis do you? Well looks like I'll just have to tell you, there deciding who get to serve first" Meanwhile it turns out it was Momo's serve, "I'll let you serve first." He said. "Hey aren't you going to serve first? whats the point if you let him?" "I want to see that kick serve right away." He said. Horio looked up at him with stars in his eyes, "Oh that is so cool Momoshiro" "Call me Momo." "Oh I couldn't do that Momoshiro, but can I be the chair judge?" "Sure, go ahead" Horio climbed up the empire's chair, "ahem, announcing today's match Where Momo, convince me Horio, to be the chair judge, while this match..." Instantly a single thought ran through everyone's head, 'What a showoff.' Ryoka looked annoyed that this kid was wasting his time, (Shin-chan: Isn't he the same age as you?) Ryoma was just sighing, and Momo seemed to be slightly regretting letting him to be the empire. "Horio sure likes the sound of his own big mouth" Said Katsuwo. Kaichiro nodding in agreement. Tomoka yelled, "Whatever Horio just start the match already!" Horio looked shocked then quickly settled down, " Ok, this is a best of one set match, service Echizen begin play. 'Thank that girl' thought Ryoka when she realized that there was a fairly sharp stick in her hands which she was unconsciously about to throw. Ryoma started off with a normal serve, "Fault!" shouted Horio, "Yay! A fault! Ryoma-sama won and he made it look easy!" Tomaka shouted, Shiba corrected her, "Tomoka, a fault is a bad serve, if Ryoma does it again the opponent gets the point." Instantly tears started to form in Tomoka's eyes, "What?! No that would be awful!" 'What an energetic girl, I'll forgive you this time, but I hope you are not always this noisy' Thought Ryoka, annoyed that she dropped a pocky stick in surprise by his loud voice. Momoshiro looked at the spot where the ball landed then look back at Ryoma with a cheesy grin.

"Forget the slice serve, kid, Give me what you got" Echizens eyes just narrowed and he gave Momo the only-with-the-eyes glare (You know what? Lets just name it the signature glare) "His eyes, he's glaring at me again..." mumbled Momoshiro, ' I know, its amazing how each of the Echizens have there own sigature glare,' thought Ryoka. There was her glare which she rarely showed, Her bakaoyaji's which is more rarer, her mothers, which is really scary(but she usually shows it to oyaji) and Nanako's, but she never shows it.

Echizen prepared for another serve, "The kick serve... its coming." Sakuno said, almost whispering. Everyone focused a bit more. Ryoma bended his knees, threw the ball up high, jumped up, and twisted his body and hit it with a loud noise (Shin-chan: Really it does look like dancing. If you want to know what I mean, check Prince of Tennis ep 2 where Ryoma's preforms a kick serve against Momo) The ball landed spinning, then headed into Momoshiro's face. Out of instinct he moved, but it hit his wrist causing the tennis racket to fall out.

Everyone stared in shock.

Momo looked back at Echizen, '.....A kickserve.... I can't believe it....' He thought. "Hey, whats so special about the kick serve?" Tomoka asked, looking at Mr. Inoe. "The usual serve slices left, thats because the spin is on the outside of the ball, but with the kick serve the spin is on the inside, producing the topspin which makes it harder to return" He answered. "I see so with the kick serve you could hit the opponent in the head and knock him out." said Shiba, Mr. Inoe looked unsure, "Yeah, but thats pratically impossible." Sakuno thought back to the time Ryoma was versing the Sasabe, he did hit him in the head with a kickserve. Sakuno looked at Ryoma proudly, 'So my Ryoma did the impossible..' Ryoka narrowed her eyes dangerously, figuring out what that Sakuno girl was thinking, 'I'll have to see if you are worthy for Ryoma..' (Shin-chan: You see Ryoka and Ryoma sort of have a complex on each other, they care for each other much as they care for themselves, they have a really loving relationship, not like lovers, but they both think of themselves as brothers and sisters) "I can't believe a middle schooler could pull off such an advanced serve.." said Mr. Inoe in shock and awe. "Thats my Ryoma, he knows all the tennis tricks, he's the coolest!" Tomoka squealed.

'But that girl is definitely has no chance with Ryoma, I guarantee it.' Thought Ryoka, crossing out her name in her small notebook.

Momoshiro picked up his racket. 'That is the first kick serve I have ever seen' He thought, then he looked at Ryoma, "Is that the best you can do? I'm so worried." Trying to act like that he didn't care. "You look it. Your sweating like a pig" said Ryoma, not falling for it. "Hmm?" said Momo looking up. Ryoma didn't say anything, but his expressionless face slowly formed into a cocky smirk. Momoshiro's eyebrow twitched. "Kids getting on my nerves." he said with a small smile. Echizen did the serve again. 'No one makes a fool out of me' Momo thought, as the ball ascended over the net, 'Got to charge the net!' He hit the ball, "Back at you hotstuff!" the ball hit the net. "Huh, timing is everything when it comes to hitting that serve, but I'll get it!" "Poor guy, he has no chance on returning that serve, Momo is doomed for sure, it would be a very hard loss to take" said Mr. Inoe. 'Saa~ I'm not so sure about that' thought Ryoka. "30-love, Echizen leads" said Horio. Ryoma hit his serve again. 'Feet don't fail me now!' thought Momo, He hit the ball and it barely went over the net. "See that? Lucky shot, but I almost got it." he said showing Echizen a V-mark with his fingers. "If he keeps that up he might win." said Kaichiro. 'Hehh~ you're not bad, with an injury.' thought Ryoka licking the strawberry flavored chocolate on her pocky. Echizen hit it again. Momoshiro stayed where he was instead of running like previously. "Sorry kid, but I got the timing down." He aimed then hit. "No way I would lose in a power match!" (Shin-chan: I don't think this was ever a power match though...)

He hit it perfectly, and everyone was shocked and gasped. Ryoka just shrugged and smiled gamely. "He nailed it." said the freshman trio. Ryoma looked unfazed and ran to hit the ball and then they began rallying, though Momo was slightly wincing in pain. Then Ryoma lightly hit the ball, which went over the net and dropped down. (Shin-chan: A drop-shot!) Momoshiro started running, but fell over. "Hmm... a drop volley, and much more precise then last time..." Ryoka said outloud. "Man you got a whole bag of tricks don't you?" said Momoshiro. Tomoka started cheering loudly, Ryoka winced in annoyance with the loud noises she was making, and Mr. Inoe started to take pictures. Ryoma just looked at Momoshiro with his confident face. "Just like his father...!" said Mr. Inoe in awe. "Those eyes... that confident glare... he's like the second coming of Nanjiroh Echizen." Ryoka chuckled, 'The second coming of Nanjiroh Echizen kaa....'

An perverted monk in a temple sneezed twice.

"If Ryoma wins this point he will win the game!" said Kaichro. Shoot, this is taking too long I've got to finish him off.'' Momoshiro thought. Suddenly the trees full of sakura blossoms began to rustle. Ryoka jumped down the tree and closed her eyes, as sakura petals began flowing in the strong wind, it gently blew Ryoma's hair as he gave a confident signature Ryoma Echizen smirk. He looked up, and smirked, "Mada mada dane." then Ryoma switched his racket to his left hand. Momoshiro, gasped slightly when he figured it out. Ryoka just smiled and laughed in her head, while the rest looked shocked.(Shin-chan: Is it just me? Or do I hear music in the background? Why is this music making Ryoma look so much cooler, well I guess it is anime...) "thats right... He's left handed" Sakuno murmured. Ryoma holded up two balls in his right hand and looked at Momo with that Cheshire smirk. He was about to serve the ball when Momoshiro called, "Time out! I quit! Your way to good for me." Everyone looked at him in surprise. "Actually I only wanted to see kick serve." Echizen looked at him for a moment back to his confident expressionless face. "Whatever you say." And he walked away to pack up.

"You were awesome!" Said Katsuwo ,"Can't believe he quit like that!" Kaichiro continued, "Goofball" said Horio. "Hey Echizen where did you learn how to do all those tennis tricks?" He asked. Echizen looked up "At a temple." "Temple?!" said the trio.

Suddenly two girls were behind Ryoma. "We saw your match, I think your the most incredible player I have seen in my lifetime, I'm Tomoka, Sakuno's friend!"

"Huh?" said Ryoma looking slightly confused then looked at Sakuno. Sakuno blushed. "Hey, good to see you again Ryoma, thanks for the other day." Ryoma looked even more confused while Ryoka got her video recorder and voice recorder out. "Have we met before? I don't remember you." Sakuno gasped in shock and pain, and Ryoka could have sworn that she saw an arrow go through her heart. Tears started to form in Sakuno's eyes as she gave a baby like disbelief look. "I can't believe it, He doesn't remember me, at all..." Ryoka hit stop and put her stuff in her bag while holding her laughter. 'Pffft~ So blunt. But you know its kind of funny seeing her like that.' (Shin-chan: *SHIVERS* Just how many sadists are there in the anime world?) Meanwhile Ryusaki-sensei went up to Momoshiro who was just smiling weirdly while watching the whole thing. "You don't look so happy" she remarked. "Hey Baa-san." said Momo a little gloomily. "Quitting like you did, its not going to make your life any easier around here" Momo just scratched his head, "So maybe thats what I need." "So nonchalant, if you hadn't sprained your right ankle you could have won." Momoshiro just smirked. "No, I could tell he knew about it, he knew" They looked back at Ryoma. Ryusaki-sensei chuckled, "Whatever." "The entire time he was playing with the wrong hand, me an upperclassman, as if he was giving me a handicap." Momoshiro walked away, "Huh, such arrogance, reminds me of me." Ryusaki-sensei chuckled again.

Ryoma walked off and the cherry blossoms fell on him as he walked off. (Shin-chan: Whats with this scene, its like all the time they are trying to make him look cooler.) "Ryoma Echizen.. What an odd little boy." said Shiba. "Not so odd, not so little, lets call him Samurai Junior" Said Mr. Inoe with a smile. Shiba just looked confused. "Samurai Junior?". Ryoka just walked away laughing. "Hahaha~ Man this is getting interesting!" Ryoka rode a skate board back and followed Ryoma. "Not bad at all Ryoma." She said stopping to walk besides him. "You haven't seen anything yet." Said Ryoma with a small smirk. On the rest the way home was silent.

Back at the temple, an monk was reading porn magazines while ringing the bell using a log and some strings. He yawned and streched, "I wonder where my idiot son is, maybe found a girlfriend, but my daughter is absolutely not allowed to have a boyfriend!" He said out loud (Shin-chan: Fathers protectiveness). At the gate to his house, Ryoma was about to open the door when he said out loud with a look of surprise. "Oh!" An image of Sakuno's distressed face came through his mind. "Now I remember!" Ryoka just looked at him and slightly chuckled, (Shin-chan: Admit it Ryoka, you forgot about her too! *Ryoka stopped chuckling*)

At the dinner table:

"So what do you think of Seigaku, Ryoma?" said Bakaoyaji. Ryoma just shrugged, "It sparked some interest." He continued eating. Ryoka smiled.

'But I have a feeling that it would get a lot more interesting very soon.' Thought Ryoka.

Small Momoshiro POV:

I was lying on my bed thinking.

Man that kid was good. This year is so going to be interesting.

'Echizen Ryoma kaa? I wonder how you will do to Seigaku.

I went to sleep, but for some reason, my final thought drifted back to that silver-haired boy riding away on his skateboard slightly laughing.

Shin-chan: I don't feel any inspiration these days.....

Anyway I think that today, I might just do this fanfiction today, and maybe some brothers conflict, I'm still stuck on Prince of Tennis Hyotei's mysterious Princess.

Anyway break time/nap time!

Remember I don't own Prince of Tennis.
