Story time begins...NOW!

Niou's POV

Oh dear god. My parents are going to kill me for getting detention on the very first day of school. But it was worth it. The look on his what's-his-name's face was just hilarious. But the weird thing is…he looked very familiar. As if I met him before… Oh well. The important thing is that I got a new way to be entertained. That emotionless guy was a great way to pass the time. Other than what happened in algebra class, nothing exciting happened. Besides the fact that in every class, I have it with him. I would also have to sit beside him too. The look on his face when he found out…I wish I brought my camera. My transfer had already spread to other students and what had happened in first period. I made a couple of friends here and there, and found a couple of perfect victims for my future pranks.

Man, this school is interesting. I'm glad that I entered here, but parts of me wanted to transfer to Seishun Gakuen so I can be with Eiji and Syuusuke. Or Hyoutei Gakuen with Yuushi and Keigo. I sighed and put my hands behind my head while walking. It was already after school and I just walked out of detention. Well detention was boring as hell. We just sat there and look at the board that says 'Rikkai MUST SUCCEED'. Pressure much? I heard rackets hitting against tennis balls. I looked where I am. I was at the tennis courts of the boys' tennis team. Oops. Stupid urge to play tennis…but tennis is so awesome and addicting to play.

I looked inside the court I was beside. I saw a third year yelling at a obviously scared second year. I frowned. Is this how Rikkai treats its tennis players? That third year was so loud that I could hear him from out here.

"That was a pathetic backhand!"

"Gommenasai, Tanaka-sempai," the second year apologized meekly.

"I have been here for 11 minutes, and we have gotten nowhere with your backhands! This is why you will NEVER be a Rikkai tennis regular in your lifetime. People like you are waste of my time to practice with the other regulars," Tanaka said harshly.

My hand squeezed the fence link in anger. How could he treat his kouhai like that! Everybody could improve if they practice hard enough. I bet that guy hardly played any official matches either. He even made that second year cry. I clenched my fist. Maybe transferring to Rikkai was a bad idea after all… My mouth went wide open when I saw he was about to swing his racket to HIT the second year. I ran through the opened entrance and threw my schoolbag at his head. Good thing, I have good aim because it had actually hit him in the head.

"Hey you! You can't treat your kouhai like that! What the hell is wrong with you," I yelled angrily.

While he was holding his head in pain, he looked at me and yelled, "So what! He was wasting my time with stuff that could have been improved on a long time ago!" I narrowed my eyes and countered back, "People could only improve on their skills if they practice hard enough. That includes the regulars too!" By now, people had surrounded the tennis court, watching us argue. His face was distorted into even more anger. Then he walked (or stomped) toward me. He was in my face. Dude, ever heard of personal space? Then I saw him raising his racket to hit me then I closed my eyes to brace for impact. But I only felt nothing. I slowly opened my eyes when I saw one of my classmates who had held Mr. Gentleman back. But he also looked familiar too…this feeling as if I met him before just like the Gentleman. Strange, huh?

He had his hand holding onto Tanaka's wrist tightly. I blinked. When did he get here? Normally I would have noticed if somebody was coming, but I guess that I was too busy yelling at Tanaka to notice.

"What is going on here," a soft voice spoke. Everybody turned to that voice, including me. I saw a familiar, fragile, feminine looking blue haired guy that was in my homeroom with Rikkai's tennis regular's jacket on his (or her? I got no idea) shoulders. With another group of people behind him/her. There I saw the closed eyed dude that was also in my homeroom. I also saw Mr. Perfect Gentleman looking stoic as ever. Ara, he's in the boys' tennis regulars? He looked like the type to play golf in his leisure time instead of tennis.

Other people behind him/her, I don't recognize. But like with the capped guy, the blue haired guy/girl and the young gentleman, I feel like I met them and know them before…WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME TODAY! I must be coming down with something. But I know for sure that I have NEVER EVER seen these people in my life. I have lived in America for my entire life until now."This guy interrupted me instructing this second year," Tanaka answered. He calls that yelling, swinging a racket like he was about to hit him, INSTRUCTING! I snorted. "Oh please, you call what you did, instructing? I could have done much better than you and not make my kouhai piss their pants, like you did." I saw him clench his fists and tried to get at me, but the black capped dude held him back.

"At least I'm a tennis regular. I could crush you just, like the other regulars can," Tanaka said smugly. My right eye twitched. WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE AT RIKKAI INSULTING MY TENNIS SKILLS! For Kami-sama's sake… "Judging by the looks of you, you only won the ranking matches, by injuring your opponents' wrists. Am I correct," I asked with a straight face. Tanaka froze. Bingo. The blue-haired regular raised his/her eyebrow. "Is this true, Tanaka-san," she/he asked with a too sweet voice. Usually that means danger. I would know because I use that voice too along with Syuusuke. Tanaka gulped.

Then the blue-haired guy/girl smiled nicely. TOO nicely for my liking. "Well then, how about this? Both of you have a tennis match against each other. The winner gets to be on the regulars, even if you don't want to be on it. The loser gets kicked off the regulars."

Both of our jaws dropped on the ground. "NANI!"

THIRD POV

Yukimura chuckled. Their reactions are so amusing. The regulars were thinking the same thing. Kirihara and Marui were snickering from amusement. Niou asked hesitantly, "Why do we need to do that? That match has nothing to do with what he was doing." "That's not true at all actually. It shows whether or not Tanaka's true capabilities are pathetic and had to resort to injuring people's wrists while playing," Yanagi said logically. Niou cursed. He couldn't counter that…

Niou sighed. "Fine, let's have the match. Could I borrow somebody's racket," Niou asked, hoping nobody would bother giving it to him. But it was the exact opposite. Everybody handed their spare rackets to Niou. Niou sweatdropped and cursed. Yanagi raised his eyebrow. Who doesn't want to be a tennis regular? That human is the first in a long time to be interesting to him, after Haruka died. Niou swiped a racket from one of the non-regulars. Then everybody filed out of the court to see the match between Niou and Tanaka begin.

Niou POV

DAMN IT! I just I had to open my big mouth didn't I? How did it go from defending a poor kouhai to playing a match and if I win then I would become a regular in the boys' team. I swear this school can be crazy like what Syuusuke described Seigaku. But I bet that blue-haired guy/girl is even more WORSE than her. But somehow I feel like I was the one who influenced her/him to become that way…yup I am most definitely coming down. The court was now occupied by me and Tanaka facing each other on opposite sides of the court. Sanada (I figured out his name because the pink haired guy/girl mentioned it) was in the referee chair.

I asked, "Smooth or rough?"

Tanaka answered, "Rough."

I dropped my borrowed racket and it landed on smooth.

"Service"

"End"

"Tanaka Rai against Niou Masaharu. One set match. Niou to serve."

I started the match with a fast slice serve at the box. He barely even made a step.

"15-love, Niou"

Third POV

The vampire regulars were interested in Niou's playing. He certainly does have the caliber to become a regular. Well even though Yagyuu thought that, it was reluctantly. Only like 2 minutes passed and Niou had already have 1 game against Tanaka. All of tennis club members prayed for Niou's victory. They really want Tanaka out of the team.

"1 game to love, Niou leads. Tanaka to serve," Sanada said.

Tanaka served and Niou easily returned as if it was nothing. Both of them had a rally for a few minutes until Niou did a lob and Tanaka did a smash with a lot of power behind it (nah, not really, well for the vampire regulars anyway) and aimed it at Niou's wrist. It hit Niou's wrist and he dropped his racket and covered his swollen wrist in pain. The non regulars were yelling at Tanaka for being unfair."Not so confident, now eh punk," Tanaka said smugly. Niou narrowed his eyes. What a jerk! Niou picked up his racket with his left hand. "You're not gonna play with your dominate hand? You're lose even more badly, you know," Tanaka sneered. "I guess, you never heard of a tennis player that could play with both hands. I could play well with both my hands," Niou said.

Tanaka growled. He served the ball, and both of them went into a rallying battle once again.

10 minutes later...

"1-all Tanaka. Niou to serve."

"I totally got this in the bag. I mean how somebody could serve with a sprained wrist," Tanaka sneered at Niou. Niou smirked.

"Ne, Tanaka. Do you want to know what they called me back in America, puri," Niou asked. "Why should I care? They probably called you a loser," Tanaka snorted. Niou shook his head. "You're wrong. They called me the Trickster of the Courts. Since you pissed me off, I am going make you live through your worst nightmare, puri," Niou said. Then he switched his racket back to his right. Everybody looked at Niou's right wrist. There was nothing there. Not even the swelling bruise that was there moments before.

What people don't know is that Niou was there at morning practice, and see what he saw…

Niou's hand went to his chin, as if he was going to take off a mask. Then he tore his face off to reveal DEVIL KIRIHARA! Everybody's jaws dropped to ground. And yes that includes Sanada, Yagyuu, and Yanagi. Everybody looked at Kirihara. He was standing right there, beside them, gawking along with them, while there was another one on the court.

"What's wrong punk! Not so confident now huh! You're not worth of being on the courts, so let me dye you red until you can't come back anymore," Niou-Devil Kirihara said maniacally while swinging his racket everywhere. Tanaka gulped and his legs were trembling. This is exactly what happened during this morning practice…

-Flashback-

Tanaka served the ball and it hit Kirihara in the head. Kirihara lowered his head and his wild hair was covering his eyes. The other regulars were standing by, watching, after seeing Kirihara get hit. Kirihara raised his head and his eyes were bloodshot.

Tanaka whispered, "Oh crap…"

Kirihara stood up and his entire appearance changed. His black hair turned white, and his skin turned red. He sneered at Tanaka. "What's wrong punk! Not so confident now huh! You're not worth of being on the courts, so let me dye you red until you can't come back anymore," Kirihara yelled maniacally.

Tanaka gulped, then turned on his heel and ran for his life.

-End of Flashback-

Niou-Devil Kirihara served the ball with super speed and deadly accuracy. Even faster than in his first serves. Tanaka didn't even notice until AFTER it landed on his side of the court and scored a point. 3 minutes later…

"2-1 Niou leads. Tanaka to serve."

Tanaka smirked. He could get this game back with his serves…maybe. Tanaka served and Niou-Devil Kirihara hit the ball back with lots of power. When Tanaka tried to return, it instead made him drop his racket. Tanaka thought, 'What power! And this is Kirihara is a fake!' He gulped. This isn't going to end well for Tanaka…

'Seiichi, do you think Niou would be a great addition to the team?' Yanagi thought, while watching them play.

'I agree. We get a new regular and get rid of Tanaka. It is two birds with one stone' Yukimura replied back to Yanagi's thought.

9 minutes later…

"6-1, Niou wins the match," Sanada announced stoically. When in the inside, he did a little happy dance. They finally got rid of the nuisance once and for all! Niou turned back to normal.

Niou's POV

I smirked at him. Ha, you jerk, you finally got what you deserved. But oh wait…

"Tanaka-san, since you lost to Niou-kun, you are off the team," the blue haired person said with a smile. Obviously, this person had to be the captain of the team. But still…it's hard to believe a fragile looking person could be a captain. Especially if that person is a GIRL. Yeah I could tell that person is a girl no matter what she says. I am a trickster. And I didn't get my nickname for nothing. Then she turned to me with a warm smile. Uh-oh...I got a bad feeling about this. "Well, Niou-kun. Welcome to the regulars of Rikkai's boys' tennis team," she said with a warm smile which I don't trust at all. I shook my head. "I only played that match to-" I started but got interrupted. "TARUNDORU! Do not reject your position as the new regular! You WILL be in the team and stay on until we graduate," Sanada said right in my face. I sighed.

Oh crap. My dad and brothers will yell at me.

Worse, they will murder them for 'forcing' me to be on the regulars. They would never let me be on a team full of boys.

The reason is because I am a girl.

DUN DUN DUN! There you have it! Niou is a girl in this story!

Thats one of the reasons why I wrote there will be cross-dressing tennis playing girls in this story! =D

But YAY! Niou won the match against Tanaka and gets to be on the regulars!

Take that, Tanaka!

Anways, thanks again for everybody reading this chappie of Reborn! This chapter took me longer than intentioned. But oh well. More words, the better the story is!

Please review, unless you want to have Niou's father and brothers to forbid her to be on the regulars!

See ya next time! ^_^
