Hoi...hoi, mi-chan dess! Just feel like writing a very Sakuno-centric fics!

The plot: What if our lovely Sakuno-chan is actually the Yagyu Jubei no Ni daime (Second Generations of Yagyu Jubei)! What if she used to live with his ghostwriter dad and met Koinosuke who had actually passed her the Raburi Kantai (Love Eye-Patch) and had went through series of battles and adventures before entering Seishun Gakkuen and meeting the POT's. Due to the Yagyu incident, Sakuno's dad decided to let her to stay with her grandmother, the coach of the infamous Seigaku Tennis Club. And what if Ryuzaki Sumirei was not told about Sakuno's past?

It's not like a crossover of Jubei-chan2, just using it's plot! This is my first attempt of writing a POT fics, please lemme know if it good or bad.

Pairing: Sakuno x various Princes of Tennis

'Italic' denotes 'Thoughts'

Chapter 1 : Lost in the forest – The restoration of the Raburi Kantai!

It's just another normal school day, Ryuzaki Sakuno humming her favorite tunes while listening to the radio, preparing breakfast for herself and her granny. She is always anticipating each and every school day. To her going to school means a lot to her as she'll be able to meet all her friends, and also Echizen Ryoma, the only guy who had marked an unforgettable recollection in her heart.

"Sakuno, Morning! You seem to be very happy while preparing breakfast" Ryuzaki-sensei said amusingly while staring at her granddaughter who seems to be in very good mood.

"Ah...Obaa-chan! Ohaiyou" She greeted back cheerfully while busy wrapping up all the bentos (lunchbox).

"Em...I seen you've prepared extra bento today? Is it Ryoma?" she teased looking at another black box still not ready.

"I…Iie...What makes you say that? Tomo-chan and I actually decide to make this to cheer up the team…so its not specially for him" she blushed as she replied feebly.

"The team eh? I don't think that small portion will be good enough for our team as you know that the boys have very high capacity when it comes to delicious food" Sumirei shook her head as she remembered what incredible of food consumption the players had when she treated them for dinner once.

"Nevermind, just get it done soon, otherwise we'll be late for school" She throws another worry glance at the bento before reminding her granddaughter.

"Oh my…It's so late already, Obaa-chan...why don't you let me know earlier! I still have some ebi-furai (Fried prawn) to put into the last box?" With that she quickly stuck in every edible food into another big black box and wrapped it properly before rushing back to her room to change into her usual uniform.

Just half way braiding her long crimson hair, she heard her granny rushing her from downstairs.

"Coming..." she replied and quickly rushes down the stairs in process, the wobbly girl almost tripped herself, however, due to her everyday hard work of practicing, the girl was able to rebalance herself.

"Doshita no...?" As soon as she entered the car porch, she heard her granny heaving a long and dreadful sigh while staring warily at their car.

"Well, I guess we've got some transportation problem here, dear. We've got a flat tire today! I just noticed it and it's so obvious!" Sumirei continues to grumble.

"Doushiyo?" Sakuno asked pathetically "I guess it would take quite sometimes to get it replaced right?"

"Perhaps you'll just have to leave without me" another sigh let out from the coach again.

"Understand! I'll walk to school and I'll also inform the principle about the problem" Sakuno gave her granny a warm smile before turning to leave.

"Ah...you don't need to walk, you can actually use the bicycle to school and don't bother about bring the bento, I'll just bring it with me when the car is fix, okay?" Ryuzaki-sensei then walks towards Sakuno and took the bento from her hand.

"Er...but..." Sakuno paused when her granny assured her that she would not leave the bento behind.

"Yes, I understand!" she bowed and quickly run to take out the bicycle which she used to ride to school from their storeroom.

"Sakuno, be careful and don't get lost" Ryuzaki-sensei gave her thump-up sign.

"Hai, Obaa-chan...Ittekimasu!" she said cheerfully and began her ride.

"Itte irrashai!" Ryuzaki-sensei waved until Sakuno's back faded from distant view.

'I think she'll be okay...what if she got lost again? Stop thinking negatively, she'll be alright! Hopefully…' she cursed herself inwardly for thinking all the bad assumptions and at the same time she let out another dreadful sigh while focusing on the badly flat tire and then two boxes of bentos which she took from her Sakuno earlier.

Ten minutes later...

'I think this should be the way, but how come I still haven't reach our school?' Sakuno thought. She's been crossing a few streets that were very unfamiliar to her.

'I don't think we had taken this road to the school before. I don't remember seeing a forest in front of us? Doushiyo...should I go back now?'

'Maybe we did pass by but I didn't notice. Well, Ryuzaki Sakuno, you'll just have to stay calm and yes, you are going to pass through this forest and not far away, you'll reach Seishun Gakkuen!' she clasped both her hand and finally made decision to go into the forest.

Another ten minutes...inside the forest.

'Sakuno no baka, I think I'm lost' she cursed herself weakly. After a few good ride; the pace she took for five times had brought her back to square one. Tears begin to flow out freely from her eyes blurring her visions.

Then she heard some crackling sound within the bushes. She panicked. Now her heart is beating unusually fast and at any rate she could have die of a heart attack.

'What is it? Could it be a bear?' she thought pathetically. Then she senses that something was tearing apart the thick bushes to gain access to meet her.

'Doushiyo...I've gotta run' Sakuno abandoned her bike and quickly run as fast as she could. But nevertheless, she could feel the presence of being pursue. She got panicked, too frightened that she tripped and fell flat to the ground, spraining one of her ankles. She wanted to continue to run however, she can't move as the pain is quite served. She felt that the creature is every inch approaching her.

'No...don't come, kami-sama, please; save me! Whoever or whatever you are, don't come near me!' Sakuno closed her eyes, knowing that the only thing she could do is prayed for miracle to happen.

Thud

Thud

The sound of footsteps and cracking of sticks can be heard. Sakuno still had her eyes shut tight. She already feels the shadow had cast on her slender body.

Just as when she was about to let out a loud scream, she heard the creature speaks.

"Ju...ju...bei...sa...sa...ma" the soft voice of a child.

Sakuno eyes flung opened wide; eyeing the child and the object which he held on his hand. She shook her head with disbelieve.

"Impossible…the RABURI KANTAI…" Sakuno stammered imperceptibly when she gets the greatest shock of her life.
