The prince of tennis is not mine but Fuji sure as hell is!

Sorry for not translating what Tezuka told Sakuno! He asked why she was confusing the team and she said that because he needed to relax more!


Chapter 5

Friday morning

"Ohayou gozaimasu, Ojousama"

Morinozuka Aya´s routine was the same every single morning. Every morning, she was awakened by her personal maids at five o´clock in the morning in order to take a long shower and get ready to start her day.

"Ojousama, your breakfast is ready" she was informed as she fixed her clothes in front of her mirror. She nodded and the maid bowed before leaving the room closing the door behind her. Aya turned around and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her skin, for some reason, looked less pale than usual and her short black hair was flat as always and she stared into her grayish green eyes with boredom before grabbing her school bag. She walked through her mansion hallways slowly looking at the different paintings hanging from the walls, there was no need to hurry.

"Ohayou gozaimasu, Ojousama" she was greeted by the army of butlers and maids that her family posses. She nodded at them and sat on the wooded chair and began to eat her breakfast, because of her delicate condition she was forced to eat healthy food like fruit and vegetables. She was eating her fruit salad in peace when one of the maids approached her.

"Ojousama, Morinozuka-sama wants you to know that he is going to be away fro a few days. He wants you to remember to not to miss your doctors appointment and also your brother will be late for dinner tonight" the maid bowed and left her to continue her breakfast.

Aya looked down and tightened her grip around the crystal glass she was holding. Her father was always away, she barely saw him for months. She took a deep breath and sighed, when she was done with her breakfast she rose from the chair, took her bag and headed towards the front door.

"Ohayou, Ojousama" her driver bowed and opened the limousine door for her holding it as she got into the limo.

Like usual, she leaned against the limo´s door staring at the buildings outside. He parked a few blocks away from the school as usual because no one knew about her family, only the teachers knew and she used another last name. The reason for this was that she was sick of people wanting to be her friend´s because of her wealthy family, the only person who knew about her social status was Kanna, her best friend. Todoroki Kanna was two years younger than her; she met her at one of her family's dojo´s.

"I will pick you up in the usual place, Ojousama. Have a good day"

"You too and thank you, Shinji-san" the elder driver smiled at her and drove away.

She turned around and walked down the street. She walked slowly enjoying the fresh morning air and the warm sun rays, she notice a few students walking ahead and as she was walking by an alley she was pushed aside by the group of people that emerged from the same alley.

"Watch it, Morino" her personal hell, Nakamura Elle, smirked down at her as she tossed her long pink hair over her shoulder while her minions walked pass her laughing at Aya´s current state on the floor.

Don't kill her, don't kill her…, was the only thing in Aya's mind while she took a couple of deep breaths. When she was more calmed, she reached for her school bag but another hand took it before her and when she looked up she was met by another hand and Seigaku's Tensai smiling face. Accepting his silent offer, she took his hand and allowed him to pull her up.

"Saa, are you alright? I saw what they did"

Fuji Syusuke, for some reason she never liked his smile. He was too friendly with everyone in the classroom and she heard rumors about how beautiful his eyes were but she has never seen them.

"Betsuni…, thank you for you help, Fuji-san" she took her bag from his hand and tried to free her hand from his but failed. "Can I have my hand back, Fuji-san?" she looked at him right in the eye with clear boredom in her eyes.

On the other hand, Fuji was intrigued. He barely knew a girl who he can talk to, when he tried to make a conversation with a girl from his class the same girl would explode in giggles and blushing wildly. He knew she was in his classroom because she sat next to him and Eiji who had been his seat mate now sat in front of them. She was always quite and for some reason she ignored him, this was enough reason for him to try to meet her.

Fuji opened his cerulean eyes and looked at her in the eye like she did. She didn't even flinch; his eyes were the ultimate test for him to know who he could trust or who he can tease madly.

"Saa, do you mind if we walk together, Morino-chan?" he asked smiling again as he tightened his grip around her hand.

Aya had a bad feeling about today.

"Sakurako-Ojousama, you must prepare for school"

A girl with long black hair was informed as she dodged a kick and from her opponent. She ducked again dodging an upper cut and threw an open palm punch into her opponent's chest sending a few meter´s away from her. She sighed and cleaned the sweat from her forehead.

"Ojousama"

"Hai, Hai…" she smiled and her mint greened eyes glowed in excitement as she walked wiped the sweat from her forehead. When she arrived to her bedroom she saw her school uniform lying on the bed and her school bag on the chair next to the door. When she open her bathroom door after finishing her shower she sat on the edge of her bed drying her hair, she couldn´t avoid noticing the scar on her left knee…, the reason why she abandoned what she loved the most.

She was fixing her hair when one of her maids walked into the room. "Ojousama is almost 6:30. You need to hurry" Kokoro nodded and grabbed her school bag.

She descended her mansion´s staircase till she reached the lobby where she was wished a good day by her army of butlers and maids.

The ride in her limo as silent and comfortable, even that her parents spent time with her she was always close to her staff. Some of them helped her parents to raise her when she was little especially her driver. Coming from a wealthy family has its disadvantages; people will immediately judged you or will try to befriend you expecting something and that why she followed the Morinozuka heir example and used another last name.

"Have a nice day, Ojousama" she smiled and watched as her driver drove away. She was walking down the streets when suddenly she felt the ground began to shake.

"Move aside!" she turned around and saw her classmate and seatmate Momoshiro Takeshi running shoulder to shoulder with Kaidoh Kaoru from class 2-3. They were always competing o different tasks and it seams that running was one of them. She jumped out of their way pulling her arms to her chest creating a rotation effect and landed on one of the walls from the houses around. She saw them disappeared down the street leaving a trail of dust behind them, she smiled and shocked her head. She bended her knees ready to jump on off the wall when she felt a sharp pain in her left knee making her lose balance.

She closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact against the ground and pulled her arms to her body.

"Hoi…!"

A pair of strong arms caught her just in time and she opened her eyes in surprise. She looked up and met her saviors face, a face that belonged to Seigaku´s number one acrobat and everyone's favorite Neko-boy.

"That was close, Nya. Are you alright?" Eiji's shining blue eyes had an excitement glint in them. Kokoro nodded unable to find words, his arms were so warm and comfortable that she could fall asleep in them but people was staring at them.

"Etto, Kikumaru-senpai…., you can put me down"

Eiji blinked in surprise. Normally his fans would do anything to be around him, especially to be touched by him. "Hoi…! Sorry" he put her down smiling. She regained her balance but the pain in her left knee was still present, she winced in pain and supports herself against the wall. "Nya…! Daijobu…?" Eiji managed to grab her shoulders before she fell.

She nodded. "It´s nothing senpai, I just need to see the school nurse and I´ll be just fine" she tried to shake off his hands but she failed. She was about to say something when she was lifted up, she yelped in surprise and wrapped her arms around Eiji's neck. "Kikumaru-senpai…! Nani..?"

"I´m taking you to the nurse, Nya…!"

Kokoro tried to free herself but failed and was ignored by the happy Neko who ran all the way to the school, she felt her face hotter because of the stares they were getting and the glares from his fans

This was going to be a long day.

"Look…, that's her"

"She´s so pale…"

"I heard that her eyes scared the teachers and the principal when they first met her and her parents forced her to wear sunglasses even when it's raining"

"Uso…, no wonder why she is so scary"

Some girls from Seigaku whispered to each other as they observed another girl walking a few steps ahead from them. The girls name…, Ootori Nana.

Unknown to the girls, she was able to hear everything they said. She couldn't blame them, her abnormal pale skin was a magnet for the curious and her short black hair in a tomboy style showed her slender neck, the black sunglasses hid her face all the time. She walked through the schools front gate and everyone moved out of her way, even the third-year students were afraid of her. She entered the school building and headed to her locker to change her shoes.

"Nana…! My love…!"

She was attacked by her loud cousin right after she entered her classroom. Ooteki Shizuka is older than her for only a few months but her body was way more developed than the other girls. Shizuka loves teasing her little cousin as much as she loves cosplay, she loves Nana´s calm temper and cold indifference. Even when they were apart fro a long time their sisterly relationship remained intact. She pounced on Nana as soon as she saw her coming into the classroom; she wrapped her arms around her favorite little cousin´s neck and pressed Nana's head against her big bosom.

"The days and nights are endless when you're not beside me, I can not describe what I feel when I can´t see your beautiful eyes" Shizuka caressed her face gently while looking her with passion reflected in her eyes. They were surrounded by roses and sparkles that helped to create the effect.

They're classmates watched the scene like if was something from everyday, some of the girls were squealing at the passion that Shizuka was able to express. Shizuka is the star of the drama club for a reason.

"You saw me yesterday Onesan, please stop saying things like that" Nana stared at her cousin with indifference.

Their teacher arrived soon after their emotional encounter and before the teacher closed the door Momoshiro ran into the classroom and collapsed on his desk. The teacher rolled his eyes while the class laughed, this was a daily routine. He started calling the names and Momoshiro tried to eat his breakfast.

"Saikano Kokoro"

Silence

"Saikano-san is not here?" he asked looking confused like the class; she was a very punctual student. He worried because if something happened to the Sakurako heir the school might be blamed for it.

The sliding door opened and a very flushed Kokoro appeared in the arms of a very happy Neko-boy. "Hoi, Hoi…! Sensei, the nurse asked me to give you this. Kokoro-chan was with her since early in the morning" the handed the piece of paper to the stunned sensei and he wasn´t the only one. Every single person stared at them with their jaws on the floor, except for Nana of course. Momoshiro froze about to eat more rice.

Gently, Kikumaru lowered Kokoro to the floor and give her the school bag. "Arigato, senpai…" she blushed and walked to her seat. She ignored her stunned seat neighbor who happened to be Momoshiro and he still had rice falling from his mouth.

"My job here is done, see you later Kokoro-chan! Ja!" Eiji winked and close the door.

"USO!"

Kokoro was attacked with questions as the teacher tried to get everyone back to their seats.

It was unusual, Nana admitted, but there was no need to make a scandal. The rest of the day went by so quickly that she barely paid attention to the lessons. Her last class was P. E and the teacher made them run 20 laps around the run track.

Most of her classmates failed after the fifth lap, especially her female classmates. She ran her laps with no problem and without even sweating, after all, she was an Ootori an after a special request she was trained by a family friend. She wore the sport clothes but she still wore her sunglasses, people wondered if she was some kind of robot.

"Well done, Ooteki-san" the teacher congratulated her after she was done with her laps. She used her cousin's last name in school following the other heir's example. "Go wash up and rest, it seams that your classmates are going to be here a long time" the teacher suggested smiling and she nodded.

She headed to the water faucets while her classmates and cousin were fainting one by one. She walked in normal pace ignoring the looks she was getting, she saw someone washing his face on the other side of the faucets. She left her towel on top of the faucets next to person's towel and eyeglasses; she took of her sunglasses leaving them on top of her towel.

She splashed the cold water on her face enjoying the refreshing sensation, she rubbed ran her finger through her hair and rubbed her neck. She splashed water on her face again and reached for her towel but when she grabbed it he felt a warm hand rest on top of hers.

She lifted up her head and her eyes met a pair of warm brown ayes who stared back at her in surprise.

Seigaku's stoic captain found himself staring at a pair of blood red eyes and for some reason he wasn´t able to look away. They were hypnotizing and mystical but for some reason they were empty and lifeless.

None of them looked away; it was like they were having a glare contest. Not even a blink. She looked at him and looked down to his hand again.

"That´s my towel, senpai" she said in bored tone.

"Aa… Gomen"

After that energetic talk, she put on her sunglasses after drying her face. Tezuka put on his eyeglasses and watched her walk away.
