Tennis no Ojou-sama: A Prince of Tennis Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 38: The Tennis Ball That Fell From The Sky

When all the alarm clocks that Ryouko set up in the Fujioka household started ringing, that moment became the most hectic and disorganized morning that the mansion ever witnessed. Ryouko was a bit displeased but strangely satisfied with the atmosphere. After all, boys weren't boys if they don't make a lot of noise.

"Don't scream at each other for the usage of the bathrooms. There're a lot in the house." She told the freshmen bickering at each other in front of a bathroom door.

"Hai, Ryouko-san." They said timidly as they tried to hide their pajamas from sight.

Ryouko was already fully-dressed in her uniform and thus began supervising the chaos that the Seigaku members were causing.

As the freshmen were hurrying, the atmosphere in the rooms of the regulars was much calmer in comparison.

"Somebody turn that off..." Kikumaru said as he covered his face with a pillow to muffle the sound of the alarm which was on snooze.

"I think you better get up now, Eiji... Ryouko-chan said that everyone that won't be ready within thirty minutes will be left behind by the bus. You'll have to walk to school then." Oishi said as he buttoned up his shirt.

"Are you guys ready to go?" Kawamura said as he entered with Fuji, Tezuka and Inui.

"Eiji's not budging." Oishi said with a meaningful look at the tangle of sheets on the bed.

"Eiji, you have to get up and get ready. The bus is leaving in half an hour." Fuji told him.

Kikumaru sat up on the bed and yawned. "Why this early?" He asked.

"It's almost 6:30 am. It's not so early anymore." Kawamura said.

"Ryouko said that the freshmen need to calm their nerves before the exam. She did say that we can sleep in if we want but the bus won't come back for us again. We'll have to walk to school." Inui said.

"It's a hassle to do that. Let's just come with them." Fuji said with a smile.

"Hai, hai... Geez... Hime-chan sure is a bossy one." Kikumaru said as he got off the bed.

"How about Momoshiro and Kaidoh? Are they ready to leave?" Tezuka asked Inui.

"They're already downstairs." Inui answered.

"I'll be going down before you guys. I want to see the grounds one more time." Fuji said as he turned the knob and went out of the room.

When he reached the hall, Momoshiro and Kaidoh were arguing.

"I couldn't sleep a wink because of your stupid snores, you bastard!" Kaidoh yelled at Momoshiro.

"It's not as if you don't snore." Momoshiro said nonchalantly as he cleaned his right ear with his pinky finger.

"I don't!" Kaidoh answered.

"Liar." Momoshiro said mockingly.

"Why you..." Kaidoh said in a threatening tone.

"Oh, Fuji-senpai, chiz!" Momoshiro said as he noticed Fuji walk past.

"Ohayou, Momo. Kaidoh." Fuji said.

Kaidoh stopped for several seconds to greet Fuji and then continued arguing with Momoshiro.

Fuji smiled as he went past them. "I do hope they won't be like that when they become the next captain and vice captain." He thought to himself.

He went out of the huge front door of the mansion and saw only one person standing near the bus. It was Ryoma.

"You're early, Echizen." Fuji greeted him.
