Hi Readers! Been wanting to write Ryoga during the U17 camp. I haven't read the whole manga actually for New Prince of Tennis, and they might become out of character. But anyway, I always have a thought in my mind, that Ryoga likes to tease his brother a lot. So here it is. Also, I just want to share. I do not own Prince of Tennis and the cover picture, I'm just a fan like everybody. Also, excuse my English. I apologize beforehand if I might have offended some.

Enjoy!

Same Faces

"Hey! Hey! Ochibi. Have you heard?" a red-haired lad asked while running towards his kouhai.

They were currently at the cafeteria for the U17 camp, and it was already morning when he was suddenly being glomped by Kikumaru. With a frown slowly making it up to his face, he tried his best to ignore the older man. But failed unhappily, he rolled his eyes at hjm, and asked for the sake of him being let go from his strong grip.

"Heard what?"

Indeed, Kikumaru had let him go and ordered his food to the server inside the kitchen bar.

"That someone saw your doppelganger?"

Ryoma just hummed, as he picked up his tray and went to a vacant table. He placed his tray on top of the table and sat down. Picking up his utensils, he was about to eat. When his face had almost slammed on his meal. He tried to control his anger, as he listened to another annoying loudmouth.

"Koshimae. How did you get here? I saw you on my way here."

"Kintarou, I thought I told you not to do that," Shiraishi complained while picking up the younger lad by his collar to drag him to the kitchen bar to order their breakfast.

Ryoma decided to remain silent though, trying his best not to be disturbed, and as much as possible unnoticed by the others. But that failed, when another irritating loudmouth had appeared and just draped his arm around his shoulder.

"Oh Echizen, when did you get here? I just saw you went for a bath" Momoshiro wondered, as he placed his tray on the table in front of Kikumaru, who has been trying to ask the younger lad about it.

"See, I told you that you have a doppelganger around here"

A certain man wearing a green bandana had shivered, after hearing his senpai say ''Doppelganger" Eating his meal in fast time. He placed his used dishes at the kitchen window and left in a hurry. Not wanting or willing to hear further than that. While failing to hear his respected senpai scolding him for eating too fast.

"That certainly is a new record" Inui called out, as he wrote in his Databook about Kaido's new record time for eating. He then turned his attention to the table behind him and asked curiously. As he recalled something had happened exactly the same to him.

"The chance of it that the doppelganger is a different person is 90.56%. Unless Echizen says that he has a cousin or a sibling that looks like him. In which we haven't really heard the news about him having a sibling or a cousin aside from your cousin who is a girl" The spectacle lad commented.

"You're wrong there Sadaharu. It is a 98.97% chance that Ryoma has a relative who is here as well, and didn't bother to tell anyone" his long time friend, Yanagi Renji pointed out.

"Eh? Koshimae you have a sibling?" Kintarou asked curiously as he looked around the people gathering around Kikumaru and Momoshiro's table.

"Eh? Where's Echizen?" Kikumaru yelled loudly, looking around and under the table as he called out for his Kouhai's name.

Ryoma was already in the courts, playing tennis with the Hyoutei's captain who happened to have his jogging when they bump into each other. Serving the ball up to the air, he hit it towards the older lad and watched him hit the ball back towards him.

He was starting to enjoy the game when it was suddenly interrupted by a loud voice.

"Waa, Echizen. When did you get here so fast? I thought you were on your way to your room" a seaweed haired called out.

Annoyed for missing to hit the ball, he gave a glare to Kirihara.

"Shut up" he called out in English, letting it known that he's serious.

Akaya gulped down his own saliva and ducked down, trying to hide from the freshman's heated glare at him.

"Hey now, that's really not something you should get mad about" It was the Rikkaidai captain who commented, standing beside the scared second year. Akaya immediately leaped towards his captain and hid behind his back.

Ryoma did feel a tiny bit of guilt though when he saw the older male hid from him. With a sigh, he apologized for his behavior. Kirihara had suddenly gained his confidence and was now scolding the freshman from earlier.

Tired, he turned his attention back to Atobe, when the other player had called him out as he started to get annoyed from being ignored.

"Sorry. I'll stop here. I'm starting to get annoyed with people saying I have a doppelganger walking around and has been asking about it."

Atobe nodded his head in understanding. "You mean the guy who looks a lot like you?"

Ryoma raised a brow though, wondering if he had met his older brother. It came to him as a surprise though after learning that he actually has a brother. Him losing his memories, and his Father being like that, might be one of the reasons he didn't learn about his existence until now.

"Did you meet him?" he asked curiously.

The other man nodded his head, "This morning while on a jog, I happen to pass by him.

"Relative?"

"Something like that" was his only response, as he swung his tennis racquet and left the courts.

Yukimura watched the younger lad left, as he walked closer to the Hyoutei captain. "So Echizen has a relative here in the camp?"

"Well, I don't think that one was just a relative though"

"What do you mean?"

Atobe remained silent as he watched the RikkaiDai members waiting for his answer. "Well, I think you'll see him yourself later. Since he's much taller than that brat.

"Hey Echizen, I heard that you have someone that looks a lot like you in the camp?" Oshitari Kenya asked curiously, as he sat beside the young freshman watching the other's play.

"Eh? You have a relative here Echizen?" Gakuto asked loudly and sat behind the other two.

"Something like that" was the freshman's only reply as he started to get annoyed for being asked, and some looking surprised every time they found him at different places. He let out a sigh though, wondering how they are not able to tell the height since they both have drastic height differences.

"But I heard from Yuushi that it was a doppelganger"

"I don't think so, since Shiraishi told me that he was far taller than Ryoma. Since he's a munchkin."

Though Ryoma was happy at least someone had finally recognized the height difference, he started to get annoyed for being called a munchkin.

"Oh, speaking of the look alike. There he is." Gakuto called out, as he pointed at the other side of the court. A hooded man eating an unpeeled orange. Watching the match uninterestedly, his attention was grabbed by them though when he noticed someone had pointed at him. That's when he saw his younger brother. The older man only smirked at them though, before deciding to stand up and leave.

Ryoma, who saw his brother, had stood up as well and decided to leave. Making his way towards his brother who was heading to the cafeteria.

Kenya and Gakuto got curious as they watched the freshman leave. Standing from their seat, they followed the younger lad around.

The two studentd were hiding behind a wall, as they watched the two talk to each other. Unknown to them they weren't alone in eavesdropping.

"Hey, can you stop making them confused. I am getting annoyed by their constant questions about you.

"What's this. That's super mean Chibisuke. I can't help it ya know. Since we have almost the same faces"

"Then just ignore them when they call you by my name"

Ryoga let out a chuckle, as he raised a brow. "That's what I've been doing Chibisuke. You know, I was really hurt when you don't remember me. But can't be helped since you got amnesia during the Nationals. But, you're so mean for at least not telling them that you have an older brother"

"Whatever. No one asked. Who cares"

"You" Ryoga glared at the younger lad in front of him and sighed. "And you were so cute before when you were a baby. Calling me 'Nii-chan' every three seconds, and following me wherever I go"

"Shut up. I don't remember that happening"

Ryoga smiled towards his little brother and ruffled his hair. "Then if I show you these pictures. Will you remember me?" Ryoga smirked while showing him a bunch of pictures when they were young.

Embarrassed and in shock, Ryoma tried to grab the picture.

"You bastard, where did you get those?" Ryoma huffed, as he tried to reach for the pictures above his Older Brother's head. "I called the old man last night, and had him deliver your photo album"

"That old man was here?"

"Yup, though he left as soon as he got here"

"Did you miss Papa?" Ryoga teased, making the younger boy pissed. Standing properly on his feet, he clenched his fist and tried to punch the older lad to his stomach.

Ryoga, who has a great reflex, successfully dodged the fist.

"Oh yeah, do any of you want to see the pictures?" Ryoga called out to no one as far as Ryoma was concerned, raising a brow he asked who he was talking with. When some of his senpai from Segaku had suddenly appeared and asked to see the pictures. It wasn't just them though, some players from other schools had appeared. Amazed at how cute the younger Echizen during his younger days. Far cuter and innocent in the albums that Ryoga happily shared with them.

He was left flabbergasted as he watched them trying to grab the pictures from Ryoga's hand. While the other man pulled out more pictures from his pocket.

Annoyed, tired, and stressed, Ryoma decided to leave and return back to his room. As he waited for them to settle down, for at least a day, or so he thought. The following days though were filled about him, being annoyed by his brother with the pictures, and telling his senpai and friends about his childhood days back in America.

Ryoma had decided to ignore them every time someone talks about his past.

Laters,
