PRINCE OF TENNIS
"HIDDEN"
…Umbrella…
Summer was at an end, and the day before school starts, Mother Nature decides that it would be the best day to shower the whole city clean.
Though it hadn't rained in the morning, the infamous and strict Captain of the famous tennis team of Seishun Gakuen, Kunimitsu Tezuka, had decided to go on a little grocery shopping.
But today wasn't his day at all…
It started pouring and now, he's stuck outside the grocery store, with his grocery bags in hand,
"I should have checked the weather news before leaving the house…"
He sighed.
He waited and waited for the rain to stop, but it has been a little over an hour and the rain still poured down as it now threatened to become an undisputable storm.
"This is so troublesome…"
Though he waited for the rain to stop, it never did happened. It only became fiercer; the rain drops felt like a whip in his skin as he raised his arm.
Though his wait was too long and became more boring, he drifted into his own thought only to be awakened by someone or something suddenly bumping into him. He turned around to see who it was.
"Ah! I'm sorry!"
It was a frail girl of 14, her long brown wavy hair hang loosely on her waist; her blue eyes stared at him apologetically. Pale complexion, red and pump lips though there was no sign of her wearing lip stick.
She wore a black turtle neck shirt, a knee level plaid skirt, and brown ankle high boots to match her outfit.
"I'm sorry…I didn't see you there, I lost my glasses so it's a little hard to see anything."
Her voice soft and sincere compare to his firm and strict voice.
"It's alright…though next time you should bring extra glasses, in case you lose your normal ones." He advised her.
She just gave him a small yet sweet smile.
"I'll do that next time…though it's really hard to get a pair of new glasses, they are after all, expensive."
Tezuka stared at her with the utmost sincere, though it may not look like it at first.
"Mah…I should go on ahead then…"
She pulled out a black folding umbrella out of her shoulder bag and opened it. Before stepping out into the rain, she looked both sides to see if there were any incoming cars, to her, there were none.
And so, she nonchalantly stepped out in the rain, humming a very odd tune.
As 'blind' as she is, she never saw a delivery truck coming at an unstoppable speed, yet she continued to walk at her own pace.
Tezuka on the other hand, can see this truck, though the girl was unaware of it. He was sure his voice would reach the girl, it did, but it was too late for her to react to it.
She froze on the spot as she sees this blurry yet bright, due to its headlights, coming at her; she was almost like a deer blinded by headlights.
She felt this strong force that pulled at her turtle neck collar, yanking her back, away from the honking truck.
"Watch where you're going!"
The driver of the truck yelled out as he passed by them.
The girl realized what just occurred; she was saved by an unknown person.
She looked back to see the man that she had bumped into not too long ago.
"Ah! I'm sorry!"
Tezuka merely stared at her; there was naivety in her eyes, like she had never been out on her own till now.
"Why didn't you watch where you were going?" he firmly asked. If she had been a member of his team, he would have made her run 20 laps.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see…well, I couldn't…"
"You couldn't see the truck coming?" he finished for her. She meekly nodded.
He sighed. She was in the verge of tears.
She bowed to him to apologize and show him her gratitude for saving her.
"Thank you and..." she was stopped mid sentence. She felt something being placed on her face, and in an instant she could see, though it wasn't clear, it was enough to see the person that had helped her.
Tezuka had let her borrow his own glasses. She stared at him.
"Wear it…I have other pairs, it's better for you to wear it for now than you getting injured, even though you're a complete stranger, I wouldn't be able to bear it in my conscience."
She blushed a bright crimson red as she gave her thanks and bowed.
She was about to leave with her umbrella, but she had noticed that he hadn't or her for that matter introduced.
Even though Tezuka is now in his own world, thinking and waiting for the rain to stop, she managed to muster up the courage to talk to him again.
"Ano…My name is Minazuki Shuue."
Tezuka stared at her and there was a silent and awkward moment.
"Kunimitsu Tezuka…"
She smiled.
"It's nice to meet you…Kunimitsu-san!" Tezuka nodded at her, acknowledging her cheerfulness despite her gloomy appearance.
"OH! Here, you can share my umbrella! I don't think the rain is going to stop soon, and you might catch a cold if you stay out here in this cold weather."
Tezuka accepted her offer and took the umbrella from her, there seemed to be an unspoken rule of a taller person holding onto the umbrella, though he might not have notice this.
Shuue smiled at him, and was still grateful about him being so much help to her.
It's not so bad, to share an umbrella with a stranger…especially if that stranger is so nice even though he looked too much like a college professor.
Wait…
"Kunimitsu-san…do I have to call you sensei from now on?" she stupidly asked. Tezuka wasn't pleased with her question, yet there was this feeling in him that just made him want to laugh. This girl, she looked too innocent when she asked this question.
"I'm not a sensei…I go to school just like you."
"Eh? I thought you were a teacher…So which school do you go?"
"Seishun Gakuen." He answered firmly. There was a slight squeal that came from the girl.
"Really? I'm transferring to that school! Tomorrow's my first day! I heard that the Tennis team in there was really awesome…but I plan on joining the track and field, I may not look like it, but I can run pretty fast! Not to brag or anything."
There was this soothing and cheerful air that she emits that makes him want to smile and laugh with her.
"Do you play tennis?" Tezuka asked.
"Not…really…It's a hobby, but there wasn't enough motivation to keep it as a sport for me… there's just not enough drive…not enough drive…"
"Is that so?"
Tezuka wondered who this girl really is, for a minute, she sounded cheerful, the next she'd just fell into gloominess.
"What about you Kunimitsu-san?"
"I'm the Captain of the Tennis Club in Seishun Academy." He replied boldly.
Shuue stopped from walking and it caught Tezuka off guard; he continued to walk for about a second before he realized it.
And now Shuue is dripping wet.
"Minazuki-san?"
She looked gloomy but she looked up to him with a smile.
"Sorry! This here is my house…I almost forgot!" she chuckled. "You can borrow that umbrella; just return it to me at school since we're going to be in the same one anyway."
She waved goodbye and smiled at him before she entered the gate and disappeared.
Tezuka stared at the spot where she had been standing moments ago.
Was she just acting weird moments ago? He wondered, but he didn't linger too long, it wasn't his business; he'll just go home and return the umbrella tomorrow…if he sees her.
The day came when it was time for Tezuka to finally return to school, and to finally return the umbrella.
He went to see the track and field coach to ask her about a new girl, yet she said that there was never a girl by the name of Minazuki Shuue that signed up for the year.
It was surprising news to Tezuka; he couldn't have imagined the girl form yesterday.
He looked at the umbrella he was carrying that he knew belonged to that girl, but where is she?
She was nowhere, not even the faculty knew where the girl is, all they know is that she is a transfer student at this school yet she didn't come on the first day.
At first he wasn't going to care, but as days go on, there were still no sign of the girl who had lent him the umbrella.
Days became weeks.
There were still no signs of her.
It started to bother Tezuka.
What if something had happened to her on that day, she was troubled, acting weird?
But he didn't pay any attention to it, he thought that it might not been her day.
Oh…
He remembered something.
The girl hasn't returned his glasses.
"How troublesome…"
He sighed.
He was never like this, getting himself distracted by a girl; a girl who decided not to go to school for no known reason.
The girl that the umbrella whom belonged to, and perhaps won't be able to return it.
How troublesome…very troublesome.
Just when he was about to get interested in a girl, she just went up and disappear, never to be seen again by this Captain.
Perhaps it was never meant to be, it's not like the Captain had been completely fallen for this girl. Though it would be nice to see the Captain to be with a girl…
Any suitable girl will do.
But perhaps…
No.
It was never REALLY meant to be.
So now this tennis Captain will just have to concentrate on his tennis career to aim for the top.
And forget about her.
But really…
It would be nice.
