The morning starts off quietly in Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku. Classes will be starting in the next hour as there were a few early-birds who had decided to come to school early today. Students exchanged jokes, rumors and gossips, giggling at the ones that amuses them. There were some of them who were asking for their classmates' homework. All of these came to a halt when a high-pitch shriek echoes throughout the campus ground. Surprisingly, the sudden shrieking came from the tennis courts, where the girls team were practicing.

Or at least, where the three famous female players were.

Students might have not expected that a loud, high-pitch screech had came from the tennis courts. Especially when their players are well-known poker-faces. Looks like it was merely an on-court-traits after all.

"This cannot be happening! Please tell me that this isn't happening!" a dark brown-haired female exclaims, throwing her head up and gripping her hair at both side of her head. Her blue eyes reflect terror and panic, something that the vice-captain of Rikkaidai Girls Team rarely shows. "D-D-D-DISSOLVING? DISSOLVING OUR TEAM?"

"That's what the principal said," said a shorter female in front of her. "I'm sorry to break the news out to you, Nanase, Yuuka, but it looks like most female clubs are gaining more attentions than ours."

"Why can't you just...say that this school is known for their tennis team, Mami?" Hayashi Nanase exclaims, throwing her hands up in the air with panic. "Surely enough there would be a student or two who would want to join the club this year!"

"That's what I said!" Saito Mami said, with her hands on her hips. "But...if I ask for another chance, that would make us pleading for our third second-chance."

"Please, Mami, I really don't want the team to be dissolved!"

"I don't want our team to be dissolved either, but face it," a silent-looking purple-head girl said. "Ever-since we lost five of our best players, other female teams from other schools had been winning the Kanto Tournaments three times in a row now. How much time do we have until we're dissolved?"

With a sigh, the captain told them that they had one week to pack all of their things, and by next week, the club will officially be closed, forever. Itou Yuuka and Nanase exchanges worried looks. They had been in the same team and group for over years now. Now, it was going to end. They would have to throw tennis out of their lives, forever.

"Let's just...change into our uniforms and just head to class, OK?"

Although she had tried her best to hide her tone, Yuuka and Nanase knew well that deep down inside, Mami was having a breakdown. She was the team's captain after all, and if a team falls out and is dissolved, the one whom felt more than hurt was the captain, their leader.

-x-x-x-

Yuuka slowly inhales and sighs out loudly. Her lavender eyes may look the same, but no one except her knew what emotion she felt that moment. If it weren't because of her, she thought, they would have won after two defeats in the Nationals. The purple-haired girl was deep in her thoughts that she didn't realize her classmate taking his seat beside her.

"Itou-san."

Lavender clashes with dark purple. A small smile crept on her lips. "Oh, good morning, Yukimura-kun."

"I'm really sorry about your team," the boys team's captain said, with a sympathy smile. Her facial expression turns confused, how on Earth did he knew? As Yukimura took notice of her confused expression, he laughs a little. "Hayashi made it obvious enough that you were going to be dissolved."

"And I kept wondering why she was our vice-captain," the lavender-eyed female said. "When she's often frantic and tense at situations like this. Sometimes I kept wishing that she would be more like Sanada-kun."

"I'm pretty sure that it was because her devotion for Saito-san that had made her to be vice-captain."

"Now that you mention it...it was."

-x-x-x-

"Saito-san." Looking up from her desk, Mami's blue eyes clash with a pair of large, hazel ones. "I'm sorry about the team, Saito-san."

"Nah, it's O.K., Kudo-chan," she laughs, trying to hide her disappointment. Damn Nanase and her loud mouth. She needs to note to herself to bring strong duct tapes with her to school, in order to keep Nanase's mouth shut.

"So, what are you doing to do next?" the red-head genius in front of her asks. "I mean, after the team gets dissolved next week."

"Honestly, I don't know, Marui-kun," the sandy-haired captain said, scribbling a few notes on her notebook. "Maybe, focus on the dance club even more."

"You know how to dance?" She nods. "For how long?"

"Over seven years now."

"Saito-san, Kudo-san, Marui-kun," their Science teacher's voice made them to freeze in their spot. "Is there something that you want to share with us?"

"No, sensei." The three of them said in unison. No, either of them wanted detention, especially Marui. Because if he was late for practice because of detentions, a certain stoic vice-captain's iron-slap would be landing on his face.

-x-x-x-

Meanwhile, in class 3-I, Nanase couldn't even focus on her current and most best subject, Japanese. It was just wrong, so wrong. Even her Brazilian classmate had made less mistakes than she did today. Usually, it was him who often makes a lot of mistakes than she does.

"Hayashi-san, is it O.K. if I ask?" a black-haired female asks, as the brunette raises her head up. She could still feel the pain from banging her forehead on the table, surely enough there would be a mark of it there.

"Um...I rarely see you making a lot of mistakes than Jackal-kun in Japanese class," the spectacled female said. "You even had a lot of mistakes than I do."

Nanase groans, and buries her face with her arms. "I don't know what's wrong with me, Mouri-san."

"It's about your team, isn't it?" the Brazilian male asks. Looking up, the brunette raises an eyebrow, asking if she had made it to look too obvious. Both Mouri Suzume and Jackal turn towards each other, before nodding at the same time. Cue to her to sigh and hit her forehead on the table again.

"I really don't know what to do after the team will be dissolved, you two," she groans, gripping and yanking her bangs. "Tennis is all I had been in love with, next to my family and kendo of course!"

"If I were you," the bespectacled purple-eyed female said, pushing her angular-shaped glasses up. "I suggest that you focus a lot more on kendo."

"And be with that freaking brat?" the vice-captain asks, through gritted teeth as her bright blue eyes flashes anger within them. "No way in hell will I ever be near her!"

"I don't get it why do you hate her," Jackal states. "You're devoted to Saito-san, and yet you hate her sister to no end."

Nanase scoffs, turning away. No matter what, she will never give her respects and agreement towards her best friend's little sister. Even if she was her family, no way Nanase will allow her to be acknowledge more than Mami acknowledge her.

"You know," the black-haired female said, turning away from the chatting group. "I would suggest Saito-buchou something that my old school used to do for their tennis team."

Now, this is something that perks the brunette's interest completely. "Care to share, Suzume-chan?~"

"Only if you stop using that creepy, sickly sweet tone of yours when pleading." The said female grimaces. "It doesn't suit you, at all."

-x-x-x-

Finally, their last morning class was over. Mami exhales, and felt her stomach growling for food. Getting up for her seat, she thinks of what to eat today. The melon bread looks tasty, but she probably won't be full enough. Maybe getting a dessert like a pudding would defiantly make her full enough to go through the evening.

Her thoughts on food was immediately interrupted when a shadow had loom over her. When her blue eyes look up, she nearly freaked out when she saw Nanase in mid-air. "MAMI~!"

She thanked God that she had quick reflexes, and avoids the girl from crushing her. Nanase had landed flat on her stomach as her captain merely stood there, twitching. "Mami, I have an idea to save the club!"

Still twitching and shaking with annoyance, the sandy-haired female asks, "Could you please greet me in a more normal and lady-like way, Nanase? People around us are thinking that we're in some kind of same-sex relationship, also known as Y-U-R-I!"

"I don't mind being in a relationship with you, Mami~!" In a flash, the brunette was rubbing her cheeks against Mami's. Other students were giving them weird stares and whispers emerged. Groaning, the captain tries to shove the taller girl off her. If this continues, students might think she was interested in the same sex as the female captain was.

"I wish for a straight relationship with a guy when the time comes, thank you very much!"

"You can be pan-sexual!"

"I don't even wish to be one!"

"Mami," When the said female, who was still trying to ram her vice-captain off her, turn towards Yuuka, she was giving her a puzzled look. Coughing, the purple-haired girl asks, "Are...you busy at the moment?"

"It's NOT what you think it is, Yuuka, help me for the love of tennis!" Sighing, the other female helps her captain to shove the strange female, who she was positive of posing as her vice-captain, off her. "Thank you."

"Now, what is it that you two wanted to discuss with me?" the sandy-haired captain asks, as the brunette quickly stood up and dusts her uniform. "Usually, it would be tennis club matters."

"It is about the club. We have an idea to-!" Both Yuuka and Nanase had said that in unison. Looking at each other, the two girls had smiles creeping on their faces. Mami somehow felt that as if the temperature one mile around them had dropped ten units.

"OK...that was just plainly creepy; what's the idea then?"

In unison, the two girls whisper the same idea to their captain. Once they were finish, Mami gave them both relief and glad glances.

"Now, why didn't I think of that before?" she asks, snaking an arm each at both of her friends' necks. "This is why I love being around with you guys. Where on Earth did you get that idea from?"

Surprisingly, the answer will be another surprise for Mami.

"You'll find out soon!" they said, as the two girls gave each other a wink. Giving each other a glance, wide grins spread across their facial features.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" they said in unison. "Oh yes, I do."

They did not care about the people around them, and those who are passing them whispering on how they were as if in Synchronized Mode. In a flash, they made their way towards the school's main office. Nanase and Yuuka turn towards each other with smiles still on their faces, before giving themselves a high-five. Look like they won't be ending their early tennis 'careers' after all.
