This is place for all Fudomine characters to come and talk, hold meetings, practice or make up training schedules.
Shinji had arrived earlier than he had expected to the tennis courts that morning. He was supposed to meet his friend Kamio but there was no sight of him. So he leaned against the fence that surrounded the courts and bounced the ball on his racket.
"I wonder where everyone is.. I'm not that early..after all... It's only a hour before practice and it was Kamio's idea to arrive early for a practice match. Then again.. I probably should have went to his house to make sure he got up on time demo.. that might seem awkward. I would find it awkward if someone came to my house to wake me...especially if I hadn't asked them.......I'm hungry... I should have ate more before I left... maybe I have time to go get some food... demo.. what if Kamio-kun arrives when I go to get food. Then he'll be mad at me all day .. or what if one of my teammates come and want to talk or play a match ...no.. I should stay.. but I really am hungry..."
His personal mumbles lowered at that point

Tachibana had just finished his last class before practice. "The training starts soon. I better finish the preparations" he thought to himself. He went down the stairs, and opened to door that lead of out the building straight to the tennis court.
There was someone standing there, leaning against the fence. Tachibana glanced at the person, but could not determine who it was from where he was standing. He approached the court and he could still feel that the ground was slightly wet after the weather chaos that happened the day before. "Another reason for us to not overdo anything. I do not want any injuries before the next tournament".
He could now clearly see now who it was against the fence. It was Shinji, standing there alone.

Shinji was still in his own little world of sorts. His mumblings had gone from him being hungry to wanting to go sing karaoke with everyone again. It didn't take his ears long to pick up on the sound of foot steps on the slightly wet grass. Glancing up he saw his buchou. He blinked for a second before moving away from the fence to go talk with his captain.
"Tachibana-san...what will the training consist of today? ...and where is everyone? I've been here for a half hour and I haven't really seen anyone.. well... I saw Sengoku but he was chasing some girls down the road trying to get their number. They weren't too happy with him. I can't blame them though... I wouldn't like someone following me around all the time trying to get my number."

Kamio, who got in a fight with Momo, was in a hurry remembering that he had to meet up with Shinji at the courts. He then ran really fast towards the tennis courts. Not noticing his surroundings, he had eventually noticed from a far that Shinji was talking with Buchou. With a sigh of relief Kamio ran up to the two.
"Gomen Shinji, I got caught up..oh hey buchou!" said Kamio directing his attention to the two. "Did the rest come yet?" he then asked thinking he was the last to arrive out of his teammates.

"That's why I couldn't decide whether or not to jump down and save the kitty... oh.... you're here Kamio?"
He gave his friend a curious glance. Slightly surprised to seem his friend. Then again, he had gotten engrossed with tell about the time he saw a cute little kitten from the top of a bridge and debated on whether or not to save it. He almost went off into his own world again but his friend's question rang in his ears.
"No.. the other's haven't arrived yet. I was first here... followed by Tachibana-san. Why were you late Kamio-kun?"

Kamio had looked at Shinji as he answered his question. With a sigh he started.
"I saw that momoshiro from Seigaku again and this time he was boasting on how good he and Echizen was compared to us in doubles." He said becoming annoyed at the time wasted on arguing with someone so annoying.
Kamio then put his tennis bag on the ground with a yawn getting out his mp3.
" Now what are we going to do?" he asked looking up at the sky.

Shinji listened intently when his friend spoke. In his personal opinion Momoshiro and Kamio shouldn't be near each other. They always bicker. Shinji got to about there in his thoughts till he began mumbling some out loud.
"They're like fire and ice. Though I'm not sure who's the ice... The equation fire and fire would be better.. but fire and fire would that they helped each other. Normally they're at each other's throats. I wonder how things would be now if Momoshiro hadn't stolen the bike? I'd probably have that grip tape I wanted. I can't believe I haven't gotten a hold of it yet. It makes me sad.. and I really don't like being sad..."
He mumbled on like this for a minute or so before he noticed the world again. Glancing and seeing that their buchou was still quiet, he turned to Kamio.
"I was just asking Tachibana-san what we should do.. but he seems a little preoccupied at the moment. So how about warming up with me?

Being a bit lost at what Shinji had said about him and Momoshiro; he just shrugged and nodded. It was a bit strange for Tachibana to be quite you would wonder what had happened to make him seem so.
"Sure, let's just start with a light practise" Kamio said taking out his racket from his bag and putting his mp3 away.
He then stretched his arms with a yawn looking at the two curiously for a moment before walking off towards the courts.

Tachibana glanced at his watch and noticed that only Shinji and Kamio was there besides himself. "Oh well, the others will need a really good explanation for their absence. More laps for them next practice". He turned around and looked at Shinji and Kamio "Okey, since we are the only ones here at the moment, lets start shall we?"
"Run 10 laps with me in order to warm up properly. Then you two will play a game against each other. I will be the ref. The winner of the match will then face me."
"We shall never lose to Seigaku again. The future belongs to Fudomine after all" Tachibana thought to himself. Smiling slightly as he started to run.
EDIT: Damn, we posted at the same time haha.

"alright tachibana-san" Kamio said noticing buchou out of his slight trance.
Dropping his racket he had started to run his laps at a jog. " I'm feeling the rhythm" he said running faster.
Running his 3rd lap, Kamio started to wonder what had happened to Ishida, Uchimura, Sakurai, and Mori..on the side of his mind he had thought of An and where she was; usually she was with them at practice.
;D lol yeah I just noticed that you were online xD

As Tachibana was running, he noticed a young man that he had never seen before. Slightly to old to be in school and study. He could see that the man was waving to him, as if he wanted to talk to him. Tachibana began to approach this man. "And who might you be?" He asked the man in a calm and collected voice. "You are the Captain for the Tennis Club, Tachibana Kippei, no? The young man said, looking a little bit nervous, and at the same time ashamed of something. "Yes, thats me". "Well, I have something I was sent here to tell you" the young man said.
"So just say it already." Tachibana said, noticing that he sounded a little bit impatient. "The rest of the team wont make in time for this practice because the bus thats supposed to take them back to the school was hit by another car. No one was injured, but I received the phone call that they wont make it in time." The young man said without taking a single breath, which made it a little bit difficult to apprehend.
"Why were they in a bus?" Tachibana asked, looking surprised. "Well they were on a trip that was included in their class. To some museum" "Okay, well now I know at least. Thank you for the information" He said, looking relieved and happy at the same time. "Well time for me to leave for my class" The young man said, smiling and departed.
"His class?" Haha, sure looked a little bit old for school. He thought, before he resumed his warm up. The conversation with the young man had taken more time than he thought. Both Shinji and Kamio was standing there, stretching a little bit.
They have become much better. I need not worry when I graduate, not with these people around. He thought to himself while he was walking towards them.

"Hey, who's that guy Tachibana-san is talking to?" Kamio asked as he stood up straight from stretching.
"Those guys are really late, lets go head over to Tachibana-san" Kamio suggested as he looked over at Shinji for a moment and started to walk to Tachibana-san.
As soon as the man had left Kamio noticed Tachibana's eyes on him. Was it him or he and Shinji? Kamio thought to himself curiously. With another shrug he went and stood right infront of buchou

Shinji had ran his laps quietly for once. Normally he would have rambled on about something while he ran but today he didn't. A little while after having started his laps he noticed a strange guy come into the court. The weird person began talking to his buchou and since he was currently running he couldn't really hear what was going on but judging by the look on his captain's face... it was either bad... or a weird good.
He continued to run in order to finish his laps, naturally he wasn't quicker than his friend Kamio but he was doing okay. He couldn't really see how his friend liked running so fast in the first place.
After his laps he stretched a moment before going over to his captain.
"I'm not sure who that guy was... but I think he might have told captain something about a bus and a museum.. demo.. I might have heard wrong... sunmasen ... I only heard that small part of the conversation.."
After that he walked quietly, sulking a little as they went to meet up with their buchou.

Kamio thought about what Shinji had said before sighing. He had wondered what those guys had been doing the entire time; none of them would have ever skipped practice and we all know it.
"Yeah, I've only heard something about a bus and hospital, just trying to make sure i've heard right" Kamio said to Shinji.
Being a bit confused, Kamio asked Tachibana what had happened. "Tachibana-san, what happened?" Kamio asked his confusion showing. "I'm going to show Tachibana-san that I'm good enough to be apart of this team!" he thought as a side note looking into Tachibana's eyes.

Tachibana noticed that Kamio was looking straight into his eyes. Which was kind of unusual for Kamio to do, but he thought that he could see a burning passion to prove himself in Kamios eyes.
He first looked back at Kamio, and the focused his eyes on Shinji. He told them what he just had heard from the young man. That everyone was okay, but that they wouldn't make it in time for the practice. He thought that they both looked kind of relieved, but was not sure.
He looked at the surrounding and noticed that Sengoku wasn't chasing any girls there any longer. The sun had started to shine, and the sky was blue once again. He could hear the birds and the happy laughs coming from the school. No one had any Idea how much he would miss everyone, miss this place.
Kamio, Shinji still up for a practice game?" He asked, smiling.

Kamio smiled after hearing that the rest were okay and nodded at Tachibana's question. "You up for it Shinji?" he asked turning to face Shinji the smile no longer visible.
"I'll get the equipment ready" Kamio said going over to the storage room to grab some tennis balls.
After getting the tennis balls, Kamio saw that one of the nets were already up as the other wasn't. "Guess he was bored" he thought walking over to the next net and starting to set things up.
Humming a familiar tune from his mp3 Kamio tied one side to the pole and started to walk to the next bobbing his head a bit to the rhythm playing in his head.

Shinji also had a smile of relief on his face as he heard that his team mates were okay. The last accident they had been in forced them to drop out of a tournament match.
"Hai..."
Shinji gave a curt nod to Kamio and his buchou before walking over and taking his out his equipment. Once he had gathered that he began to head toward the already netted court.
"Buchou you plan to play the winner right?"
Shinji asked turning and glancing at his captain with what would be called a curious look from those who knew him well enough. He was bouncing a tennis ball on his racket as he waited for everything to get ready.

As Shinji came onto the court Kamio had finished setting everything up. He went towards his bag to grab his racket that was laid right on his bag. He then started to walk towards the court on the opposite side of where Shinji stood waiting for an okay to start.
"I'd like to play Tachibana-san wouldnt you Shinji?" he asked holding his racket in his right hand and testing his strings

Shinji was still bouncing the ball quietly on his racket when he heard his friend speak.
"Hai. It would be fun to play against buchou.."
Taking a glance at his captain who was supposed to be the referee for the match. He was fairly excited about the matches. It was almost like a miniature tournament.

Tachibana looked at both of them, before he walked towards the court to take the position of referee. They both seemed interested in playing, which made him smile once again.
He looked around and could see that there was some students who were looking towards the court, almost just waiting for the game to begin.
Tachibana decided that it was time. "Shinji, Kamio, get ready to face each other." He said, with his Captain-like voice.

Kamio stood right infront of Shinji as he turned he nodded at Tachibana.
"I'm feeling the Rhythm..Shinji smooth or rough?" Kamio asked getting into his rhythm.
Kamio had his racket placed and was ready to turn, hoping it would be in favor for him.

Shinji was in his own world for a moment as he listened to the other two speak. He was once again bouncing the ball on his racket again as he moved his eyes to Kamio's racket.
"Rough.... hmm... this will be an interesting match. I haven't gotten to verse Kamio in a while, then the winner gets to face buchou..."
He went off on a quiet mumble of his own at that point waiting for the call on who would serve first.

Kamio watched the racket spin as it fell and landed in Shinji's favor. Picking up his racket on the floor Kamio looked right at Shinji before turning around.
"Looks like it's your serve Shinji Good luck!" said Kamio with a smile then going straight for baseline bobbing his head a bit to the a familar tune in his head.

"hmm? ..hai.. good luck to you too... "
He said coming out of his train of thought at the time and he took out a tennis ball from his pocket before making his way to the base line. Then he bounced the ball a little while he waited for the call from the 'ref' to begin the game.

This will really be something to remember, Tachibana thought to himself before he looked at the surroundings.
The sunny weather had turned into grey clouds, and it was now only a matter of time before it would start raining. "I will break the match if it gets to risky for injuries, end of discussion" He told Kamio and Shinji.
He could at the same time see that several people had decided to spend their break watching this practice game.
Enjoying the situation, Tachibana looked at Shinji and told him that he was allowed to serve.

Shinji gave a small nod towards his buchou once he was given the signal to serve. He personally chose to ignore the growing crowd, as they would only distract him horribly.
He walked to the base line and bounced the ball a few times. Then he bent his knees and threw the ball high into the air. Seconds later he jump upwards some hitting his Kick Serve towards Kamio.

Kamio had looked around for a bit and noticed the crowd had grown a bit from before. His attention then shifted towards Shinji who was at baseline; eyeing the ball, Kamio noticed it change upwards surprising him a bit.
"Kick serve eh? I won't fall for that again Shinji." said Kamio hopping from foot to foot getting rhythm. "I'm feeling the rhythm".

Non- Rpg: Mind if I pop in
Mizuki watch from the crowd and he looked at their captain.
"fudomine huh? Looks interesting"
He started to note down both of their moves. He first looked at Shinji
"Kick Serve? not bad for a eighth grader"
Then he saw Kamio increasing speed.
"Interesting"

Its okay as far as I am concerned.
Right after Tachibana told Shinji that he could serve, he noticed a young man, which was not part of school, but seemed to be interested in the game. He could see that he was writing down things while observing everything. What caught Tachibanas eyes the most was his pretty feminine look, and weird style of clothes. The wind was getting stronger, and when he looked to his right side he could already see that the ball was in the air, and that Shinji just had made his famous Kick Serve. It was really quick, but he noticed that Kamio seemed really into the game and that he reacted very quickly to Shinjis serve.
Ok, just a random question. Who is supposed to count, and decide if one player can return one ball or not? You guys or me?
