My Fair Lady

"He's so weak!" an English boy yelled.

"It's because he's Japanese!" another one said.

"I can read your tennis style like the back of my hand. Stupid!"

All of these hurled insults are directed towards a bruised untidy Japanese boy who is trying to get up from the ground after he utterly lost successively to his classmates in playing tennis. This is not new; it's a typical scenario that always happened on the tennis court of the elementary division. Stubborn as he can be, the Japanese boy demanded for another match but unfortunately he lost again. The English kids are far better than him and it is very impossible to win against them.

"Looser!" a kid shouted and threw a tennis ball to the deprived Japanese boy and it was followed by the other kids. They mocked as they threw tennis balls on him. "Looser! Looser! Looser!" they shouted. The poor boy sat helplessly on the ground with his hands covering his head from the attacks that he receives. Not for long, the kids stopped from bullying him when one of them received a handful slap from a girl.

"Stop it! Can't you see he's doing his best?" a girl named Kanzaki Sakura shouted.

"Tsk, hey Sakura how long are you going to protect that lame Keigo?" the kid that is being slapped asked.

Sakura didn't say a word. She glared at them and walked towards the battered boy named Atobe Keigo who is still covering his head and is looking downward. She took pity on him as she gently removed the boy's hand from its defense position. "Are you alright?" she asked while giving a gentle smile.

Atobe lifted his face and nodded at Sakura's inquiry. Tears are starting to form in his eyes but he refused to let it escape. He's a man, and man should not cry in front of a girl. He stand up abruptly and brushed his dirty clothes.

"Just ignore them Keigo," the girl said and she wrapped her arms around Atobe's shoulders.

"Hey dude, did you see that? Keigo the looser got a girlfriend."

"Yeah! A tomboy girlfriend," a boy commented and they all laughed as they eyed the two Japanese kids walking away.

Kanzaki Sakura is a full-blooded Japanese girl who lives in England at the age of five. Her father and Atobe's father are members of the board of directors of a financial company. She is a petite girl with short black hair and dark eyes which makes her feature very Japanese. Sakura has a very strong personality and she is very famous in the elementary division because she is always involved in fighting. Because of her bad reputation, she is viewed as a tomboy.

The two Japanese kids sat on the side of the school fountain. The girl pulled a small towel from her bag and gave it to Atobe, "Wipe you're face, you're so dirty."

Atobe obeyed her like a good boy should; he got the small towel and wiped his face. "I'm sorry, Sakura."

"Sorry for what?" the girl replied and started to play with the water.

"I'm sorry because they teased you again."

"I don't mind… because what they're saying are not true," Sakura replied and sprinkled some water on Atobe's face.

"Hey stop that, tomboy girl!" Atobe covered his face.

Sakura stopped from sprinkling water and kept silent for a while. "I'm not a tomboy, Keigo."

"Ahhn~ But you don't act as a girl," the boy replied and looked at the girl sitting beside him. "Look at yourself Sakura, you're hair is too short and you dress like a boy."

Sakura twitched her eyebrow and hit Atobe on the head, "Idiot! Of course I'm a girl!"

"Aww…" the boy touched his head. "Then prove me you're a girl."

"What do you like? A kiss?" Sakura asked bluntly.

Atobe blinked and laughed as hard as he could. He never thought that Sakura will think like that. He shook his head and replied. "It's you who said that, not me."

"Stupid Keigo…" Sakura muttered and poked his forehead. "If you become number one in tennis then I promise to kiss you."

Atobe smiled and looked at the bright sky, "Of course I'll be the best… but it's not what I want you to do."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Sakura replied as she narrowed her eyes.

"If I win the Junior Tennis Championship here in Europe, will you become a fair lady?"

"Fair lady…that sounds so western. I'm sorry, but I still prefer to be a Yamato Nadeshiko than to become a fair lady.."

Atobe turn his gaze towards the girl, "I don't care as long as I can see you act as girl, though it sounds so traditional, ahhn~"

The girl smiled and held the boy's rough injured hand, "It's a promise Keigo… but before I do that, you must become a KING."

"A king?" Atobe asked with a new determination in his eyes.

"Yes… a king."

Four Years Later

Atobe! Atobe! King-a, King-a Atobe! Atobe! Atobe! King-a, King-a Atobe!

The loud cheers of the Hyotei students are heard everywhere as they watched the great Atobe Keigo vying for the win over Tezuka Kunimitsu. It is a very long breath taking match which is being watched by everyone even by the so-called Emperor of Japan's junior tennis; no other than Sanada Genichirou.

Game and Match 7-6, won by Atobe Keigo.

"Omedeto… Keigo," a girl mumbled as she closed the history book she is reading while waiting for the outcome of the match. She get up from sitting and fixed her uniform as her long hair sways softly with the gentle wind that blew.

Atobe's attention was caught by the girl's presence. He looked at her for a moment and the girl smiled at him before she walked away. "Sakura…"

It has been four years since Sakura made a promise to Atobe and now she's fulfilling it. Sakura is not the same tomboy girl anymore. After Atobe becomes a European champion, she grows her hair up to her waist and dress like a girl. She learned the proper etiquette to become a refined Japanese lady though she mixed western and Japanese traditions. Sakura learned tea preparing ceremony as well as ikebana. Aside from that, she becomes a ballroom dancer and a kyudoka (female archer).

Along with Sakura's changes, Atobe also changed. He is not the same lame Japanese boy anymore. He polished himself in an unforgiving environment where nothing matters except winning. He looked for his opponents' weakness and mercilessly aimed for them. After a short time, there was nobody stronger than he was. Atobe falls in love with tennis and gradually kept a distant to Sakura until the girl is nobody to him.

Now, both of them are studying at Hyotei Gakuen. They belong to the same class but they seem to be strangers. Atobe holds the supremacy as the President of the Student Council while Sakura holds the Student Publication as the Editor-in-Chief.

"He's good for a kid…" Sakura said to herself when her attention was caught by Echizen who is warming up for his match with Momoshiro. Sakura got fascinated on the first year's tennis style. She entered the court that is not being used by at the official match and walked incautiously with her eyes fixed on Echizen who is still playing at a distant. The book that she carries accidentally slipped on her hand and upon noticing it, she bends down to pick it.

"Hey watch out!" somebody shouted.

When she heard the voice, Sakura looked around only to find out that a speeding tennis ball is heading her way. There is no way she could avoid it except to close her eyes and welcome the impact of the ball that will hit her. To her surprise, the ball did not hit her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a tall stoic looking guy holding a racket in front of her. He has the posture like of an emperor and eyes like of a samurai. Sakura is perplexed for a moment as she looked at the man who saved her.

"Arigato," she thanked him and picked the book she is reading.

The stoic guy put back the racket on his tennis bag and swings it on his shoulder as if he doesn't heard any word of thanks from the girl. Sakura thought that maybe the guy doesn't hear her so she faced him and bow slightly as he thanked him again.

"This is not a playground," the stoic man said.

"I'm sorry, I was so captivated by the tennis style of the kid that I saw earlier…" she replied and pointed to the place where Echizen and Momoshiro are playing only to find out that they already left.

"Be careful next time," he said as he lowered his cap and walked away.

Sakura remained on where she stands. Afterwards, she realized that she is on the middle of the court where two other people are playing. She apologized to them and went to a nearby bench to clear her mind from everything that happened.

"Fukubuchou, where have you been?" Kirihara asked his fukubuchou who just arrive at the café.

"Nothing important," Sanada replied and leaned his tennis bag on a chair.

"There's a 93.4% probability that he's from the tennis court that is not being used at the official match," Yanagi assumed.

"Oh really? What did you do there fukubuchou? Didn't you tell us not to play with others?" Kirihara asked and sip the orange flavored Ponta.

Sanada do not reply on his kohai's question when something flashed on his mind. "A history book? Will a Hyotei girl be interested on reading such a book?" he talked to himself.

"Hmm… now there is 83.77% probability that Genichirou is thinking about something that he saw at the tennis court," Yanagi calculated.

"Stop calculating things Renji," Sanada reprimanded and walked towards the vending machine to buy a drink.

On the other hand, Sakura decided to go home. While inside the bus, she opened the book she is reading. It is actually a historical book about the imperial family. She flipped on the pages and locate where she stopped reading a while ago.

"Ah.. here it is," she said to herself joyfully and continue reading the passage. "…and that day, the emperor met the empress on the tennis court…"
