Dating a Tennis Player

Chapter 1: Dating Yukimura Seiichi is like…

…becoming a daughter of the Rikkaidai team. And by daughter, you mean having a 'chaperone' at all times because the Rikkaidai boys will never fully trust you with their frail captain.

…never getting to sleep in, even on the weekends. If the team is to have morning practice because of Yukimura's orders, then you are to have morning practice as well. Even though you don't actually play tennis (yet).

…being forced to play tennis. Everyone in the school, no, everyone in Japan knows that Yukimura Seiichi is the 'Child of God' so therefore, you need to be able to play tennis too to be his girlfriend. Well, at least that's what everyone on the team thinks. So your first month playing tennis will undoubtedly be being tossed around the courts like a rag doll, being forced to accompany the regulars as they try out new moves. Needless to say, you will be sore and bruised.

…knitting. Everything you do will involve yarn and knitting classes because Yagyuu Hiroshi thought it would be appropriate and 'very lady-like' to sign you up for some. On the positive side, you now make excellent scarves and hats that you present to Yukimura every time you visit him in the hospital. On the down side, your Sundays are now spent with aging old ladies who can't relate with you whenever you complain about the over-protective tennis team.

…being labeled as the 'Child of God's' girl. People start looking at you differently and respecting you more. Random people will come up to you while you're shopping and start talking to you about the awesomeness known as Yukimura Seiichi. You once met a tall boy from Seigaku with glasses who merely nodded once towards you and walked away. Your boyfriend only giggled when you told him about the 'weird, stone-faced four-eyes from their rival school.'

…bringing an umbrella wherever you go. Just because you're dating his captain doesn't mean that you're spared from all of Niou Masaharu's pranks. Unfortunately, you learnt that the hard way when a hose magically turned on over your head, drenching you completely. You now know never to trust the trickster of the team but you also harbor some respect for that man. It takes a lot of guts to pull a prank on Yukimura's girlfriend.

…being trapped in a little bottle. Sometimes you just want to escape and go do your own thing, but then you see Yukimura's beautiful smile and you suddenly don't mind it anymore.

…taking classes at the hospital. The tennis team will never ever feel safe again unless one of them is trained by the hospital to take care of their precious captain. So, even though you're not actually a member of the boy's tennis team, you've somehow become nominated to receive the expensive training. You don't really mind it because the fact that you've been chosen to look after Yukimura shows that they're starting to trust you and they expect you to be around their captain for a very long time.

…becoming the valedictorian. Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichirou come over your house every other night in order to tutor you in subjects you're having trouble in. You can only guess it's because they don't want to be the one tutoring Yukimura when he comes back to school.

…fighting off fangirls and fanboys. They all somehow found out about your relationship with Yukimura Seiichi and are all out to get you. Jackal deemed it dangerous enough to give you some pepper spray and a stun gun. Wherever you go, it's always in your bag. Always.

…wanting to become a doctor. All of the tutoring Sanada and Yanagi give you as well as the time spent with the old ladies at the knitting classes has made you interested in the sciences and medicine. You suddenly have a new ambition to become a doctor and help others around you. Yukimura only gave an angelic smile when you told him of your new big dream. You later found a note in your pocket with the words 'I wish you the best of luck sweetheart' written in your boyfriend's elegant writing. That note is still framed on your wall to this day.

…always feeling ugly. No matter how great you put on your makeup, no matter how amazing your hair was when you woke up, no matter how refreshed and pretty you feel, you know that you'll never be prettier then Yukimura Seiichi.
