Four-Leaf Clover: A Love Story Begins (Prince of Tennis)

Chinatown.

"Mm... Seichi, look. That one looks pretty good too~" A beaming Aixi linked one arm through Yukimura's and pointed at a snack stall in Chinatown with the other.

"Mm~" Yukimura was instantly won over by the sweet way Aixi said "Seichi." He pulled out his wallet and bought her something to eat.

"Thanks, Seichi~" Aixi held her snack with a satisfied smile, then gave Yukimura a quick kiss on the cheek. His smile grew even brighter.

"Xiao Xi, what do you think of this?" Yukimura held up a doll and waved it in front of her.

"Ah, it's so cute~" Aixi hugged the doll, which was half her size, and rubbed her cheek against it. In the end, she kissed Yukimura.

The Rikkai team members had been sneaking along behind them, watching.

"Aaaah, are the captain and the others ever going to be done?" The restless red-eyed demon, Kirihara Akaya, the little seaweed-haired kid (...), clutched his head and howled.

Silence, silence, and more silence…

"Oh, I didn't realize you were all here," Yukimura said with a dark smile. "Akaya, were you looking for me in particular?" Kirihara nodded. Yukimura's smile instantly became dazzlingly bright. Clearly, a guy whose date has been interrupted is not someone to mess with. Put simply, Kirihara Akaya was done for.

"Akaya..." The white-haired fox, Nioh Masaharu, the pink pig, Marui Bunta, and the rest all held their foreheads. Damn it, Akaya, we were tailing them! Who charges in like that? Aaaah…

"Oh my, looks like Akaya still has a lot to learn about patience," the beauty said with a faint smile, as casually as if it were nothing.

"You're too lax! Kirihara Akaya, triple training next week!" The grim-faced emperor, Sanada Genichiro, roared.

"…" The data expert, Yanagi Renji, silently picked up his pen and added a few marks after Kirihara Akaya's name. Those few marks were the reason the red-eyed little demon would be groaning through the tennis club's training for days to come. Mm... but that's a story for later.

At the same time, at the Harune house.

"Aaaah, that brat actually stole my little Xi away~" A man was furious, tears streaming down his face.

"Hiro!" An angry woman raised her fist. "Xiao Xi has grown up. You can't keep her under your thumb!"

"But, but…" The man bit his handkerchief. "One brat after another comes along to steal our daughters~ First that brat named Shang tricked our Aira into marrying him, and now this Yukimura Seichi has lured our Xiao Xi into going on a date~"

"That's not called tricking them!" the woman snapped. "Honestly, Hiro!"

"Brother Qi, did Sister Xiao Xi go on a date?" The twins, Ulu and Eru, asked Chun Yin Qi with stars in their eyes.

"Uh... yeah." Chun Yin Qi answered helplessly.

"Then does that mean Sister Xiao Xi is going to get married too?" Ulu and Eru continued gazing up with stars in their eyes. "That's what happened with Sister Aira~ She went on a date, then got married~"

"Well, you see..."

"What? What? Xiao Xi's getting married?" The man fumed. "I'm going to settle the score with that brat. Kids' mother, don't try to stop me!"

If you can't follow this, watch the anime Pretty Rhythm first. Ahem, this story might not match the Prince of Tennis plot very closely, but don't worry about it.
