Prologue
Edited: 12/19/12 (grammatical errors)
Our consecutive championship is snatched from our hands like it was nothing. It is lost into thin air like it never existed. It is fair, yet unfair in every way. If I can put an argument such as the hell we've been through to reach the top, then I will. The pride and shame were on the line. Winning is more than just a trophy. It is worth more than that, more than the blood and sweat we have poured. It costs more than that. And yet, it slips away. We won, a past tense.
The Child of God, The Emperor, The Data Master, what is left now? The Three Demons of Rikkai? Those names are for the winner, and yet we lost. We devastatingly lost. I lost. I lost to a kid who enjoys tennis so deeply. I lost to someone because he thinks tennis is fun?
What a joke.
And here I am, letting everyone down. I let the name I've been crowned of down. So what would that kid be? A God Tamer? Well, he doesn't deserve the name. I'm no God, not even the child of God.
What would I be then? A frail loser who puts so many excuses of his loss? Pathetic. I cannot even forget about it, learn from it. Sanada has been working harder ever since. Yanagi has been even more observant. And the others, at least they can get up on their own. Does that make me so utterly weak then?
"Sanada, I'm frustrated."
Love, is it? People say that love brings happiness. Love brings sorrow. Which is it? But it is said that love blinds you, and that's the only thing that matters. If it can blind me from all the piling anger and agony, then I'll take it. This exasperation wears me out day by day. I will go insane. I am too outraged. I'm blinded by fury.
I don't care whom. Any woman could do. Anyone could really do. The woman who is walking toward my direction is no exception. It is only God given luck that she turns out beautiful. It is fate. Everything is settled. It's fine if God is actually messing with me. It is fine, as long as this anguish fades away.
"Do you believe in love at first sight, Miss?"
A/N: That's it for the prologue. Short, huh? (Much) Longer chapter is probably waiting. Oh, and the idea of love at first sight came from 'Kanojo Wa Uso Wo Aishisugiteru' manga. For people who have read that, I assure you that the story won't swing that way. Probably. And, opinions are highly appreciated.
