She dropped her racket and clutched her hand

"It hurts" She whispered hoarsely

"That's because you're not holding it right" A voice said from behind her

"Well why don't you show me then" The said sarcastically hearing footsteps coming closer to her and an arm around her waist she blushed as he took the racket from her hand and brought her hand out to have her clutch the racket it soon stopped cramping after that she smiled and he helped her swing then let go she turned around to see a boy not smiling nor frowning he had green black hair partly covered by a hat she smiled at the boy "Nice to see you again Ryoma" Her tone had changed to an upbeat one

"Uh you to Sakura" He stared at the girl for a few seconds and sighed

"Well I'm worn out from all this practice how would you like to go get some ice cream" He simply nodded and she grabbed his hand leaving the tennis court

--at the ice cream parlor--

"Hello sir I'd like two chocolate scooped and dipped ice creams please" She smiled and gave the man her money in exchange for the ice cream sitting down at a table across from Ryoma she kept her smile and handed him the dipped cone "So how's everything" She said

"Mm it's ok I guess good to be back here in this region" He closed his eyes and leaned back into his chair

"Ah well everything here is fine" She said looking down to the table taking small licks at her ice cream "Ryoma when are you coming back" He cracked one of his eye's open and sighed

"In about a year maybe longer" Her eye's squinted at the thought of a whole year "This is just a visit though I might be back before then but I'd have to go back then and train more"

"Do you remember back when you used to train me" He cracked a small smile

"Yes how could I forget I fell on top of you that one time in front of you're dad and he chased me out with a broom" She giggled and shook her head

"Yeah" She looked up at the clock in the parlor "I better get home before daddy sends a search party" She looked out the big window and sighed "Walk me home" She asked and he nodded getting up and walking home she leaned on his shoulder and he moved sideways she looked up at him with a questioning look 'Is he seeing someone already' she thought 'Uh did I give her the wrong idea I like her a lot but I'm girl shy' He thought he looked up at the sky slightly looking to the side to see her stop in front of a medium sized tan house "Are you with someone or do you not like me" His eye's went wide

"No I like you and all but" She looked up at him with pleading eye's

"But what Ryoma I'm not a fan girl but that doesn't mean I don't love you" Her eye's widened and she slapped her hand over her mouth "I'm sorry just forget it" She looked off to the side getting ready to go inside until a hand grabbed her wrist

"I love you to" Her eye's widened even more then narrowed

"The why don't you be more romantic" She shouted pouting

"You want romantic then fine" He slid his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips sliding his tongue through her creased lips he closed his eyes and she just stared looking dreamy soon letting go of her and slipping his mouth out of her "How about I assist you with practice tomorrow" He said sinfully smirking she nodded and pecked him on the cheek and turned around

"That would be nice" She walked over to her door and opened it "See you tomorrow" She peeked over her shoulder and swiftly walked inside and walked away smiling

"So Sakura sweetie how was practice" Her mom said from the doorway smirking "Did you have fun" Sakura simply nodded and walked up stares to her bedroom closing the door
