Summary: We have all seen the lives of our favorite regulars during school, but we don't know much about what goes on in their homes. Are their homes as crazy, chaotic, and funny as their tennis practices? I guess we'll just have to find out.

Ryoma's Story

Ryoma Echizen began walking up the flight of stairs that led to his home. The prince of tennis was exhausted from his tennis practice and the insane antics of the regulars. He opened the door of the temple he lived in for a reason he had forgotten long ago. After stepping in, the first thing he did was yell out, "Tadaima!" Then, he took off his sneakers and put them on the rack by the door. He quickly began walking towards his bedroom hoping to avoid his father, but Lady Luck just loved to aggravate him.

As he rounded the corner that led to his bedroom, he saw a very unwelcome sight. His stupid dad was leaning against his bedroom door and was reading, big surprise, a porn magazine. Every once in a while, Nanjirou would let out little whistles at the pictures in his magazine.

Ryoma did not want to deal with his dumb dad right now. His day hadn't gone all that well. First, he had a substitute teacher for his English class who did not appreciate the fact that Ryoma was catching up on his sleep. The teacher had thrown a piece of chalk at his head to wake him up! After that, Momo had made him late for afternoon practice, so Tezuka-buchou made him run 60 laps around the court. (Buchou wasn't in a very good mood either.) Then, he had to drink a pitcher of Inui's latest creation because he couldn't beat Eiji and Oishi in a doubles match. Don't ask him why he had to practice doubles with Kaidoh as a partner! He had no idea. The last events were pretty strange but they had become normal pretty happens when you are on a team with a bunch of lunatics. Anyway, his mood would have been okay if his dad wasn't standing in his doorway.

"Baka oyaji" he muttered as he glared at the magazine in his dad's hands. His father was too busy with his porn to notice the irritated boy standing near him. "Oyaji, get out of the way," Ryoma said. He was hoping to spend as little time dealing with his dad as possible.

His demand made his dumb dad notice him. Without looking up from his porn, Nanjirou said, "That's no way to talk to the man who raised you," but Ryoma didn't care enough to pay attention. He was trying to push past the porn addict who was his father. It was too bad that Nanjirou wasn't going to let his brat of son get away. Nanjirou held his ground and being much stronger than the puny boy was able to keep him out of his bedroom.

"Baka Oyaji," the boy growled, "Get out of the way."

The man laughed at the demands of his son. His porn magazines were far from his mind at the moment, well as far as they could be. He wanted to annoy his son before going back to enjoy his porn. Nanjirou decided to sing a little tune that he knew would annoy Ryoma. "Ryoma and Heleanor sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" he sang.

After hearing his idiot dad's stupid song, Ryoma groaned, "Heleanor isn't my girlfriend, and you know that, baka." His dad was a perverted monk who knew just how to annoy him.

Nanjirou grinned down at his irritated son. "Oh yeah, that's right. You're cheating on her with that cute little girl wth the braids. What's her name again?"

By this point, Ryoma was beyond annoyed. He decided not to answer his dad's dumb questions and instead yelled out, "KARUPIN!"

The kitty in question could be heard running through the house to find his owner. Soon, the sounds of the moving cat stopped, and Karupin poked his head out from the corner and let out a questioning, "Meow?" at the scene in front of him. His wonderful master was standing in front of the old man he was constantly complaining about. Ryoma was also sporting a magnificent scowl and glaring at his dad. Karupin, being such a smart kitty, quickly figured out what he was supposed to do.

Ryoma caught sight of his cat and stepped away from his dad. His scowl changed into his famous smirk in the blink of an eye as he watched with slight interest as his cat got ready to attack.

With a battle cry of "MEOW!" the cat launched himself onto Nanjirou's face with his claws out. He began scratching the idiot man's face as his master walked calmly into his bedroom ignoring his squirming dad who lay screaming on the floor of the hallway. Without a word to his dad, he slammed his bedroom's door shut.

After walking into his room, Ryoma dropped his tennis bag onto the floor. Then, he collapsed on his bed and listened to the screams of his dad with a smirk playing on his lips. He got annoyed with his dad's yelling very quickly though and so called out for Karupin to stop. When his dad stopped screaming, "GET THIS DEVIL CAT OFF OF ME!" he opened the door to let his cat in.

Karupin walked in with his tail high in the air and a smirk on his face. He jumped onto the bed and watched his owner go into the bathroom. When Ryoma came out of the bathroom, he was no longer wearing his school clothes. He once again collapsed on his bed and began thinking of the doubles match he had played that day.

The images of the match flashed through his head and they were not enjoyable. HE decided that doubles was lame and not worth his time.

Then, he got ready to do his homework. Ryoma grabbed his backpack from where he left it on the floor and pulled out his notebooks. He got up from the bed and began walking towards his desk. He groaned at the sight of his messy desk. He grabbed one of the tennis magazines that covered the surface of his desk and tossed it onto his bed. Before he could clear off the rest of his desk, he heard a loud yell, "Tadaima." It seemed that his mom was home. Hopefully, she would cook Japanese food tonight.

He continued clearing off the desk until a scream came from right outside his door. It seemed that his mom had found his idiotic dad's body lying in the hallway. He began walking towards the door because his mom was sure to want to know why her husband was unconcious and on the floor.

Sometimes, he wished he could just play tennis all day.
