DISCLAIMER: I don't own Prince of Tennis or Tennis no Oji-samaaaa!
" Why did you bring me here, Akaya? " she asked him.
" Because there is something I want to tell you. "
" If you have something to tell me then, why here? "
" Because no one's here but us. "
" Say what you want to say. " she said, crossing her arms.
" I...I... " those were the words he can only say. After a couple of minutes, she got annoyed.
" I, what? Please hurry up or else my parents will punish me for being late! " she had a point. Besides, dusk is already approaching.
" I wanted to say this to you a long time but, I love you Ann. Will you please be my girlfriend? " after he said those words, he held her hand a put a rose on it. But because of the cruel fate, she shook his hand off hers and threw the red rose to the ground. She looked away, avoiding Kirihara's gaze and said the words that made the demon's heart be wounded so much.
" I'm sorry for saying this Kirihara-kun but, I won't allow you to do that. "
" Why? "
" I don't expect you being my boyfriend after what you did to Kippei nii-chan few months back. "
" But- "
" DON'T EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE YOU AFTER THAT CURSED DAY! You don't know what I've felt while I'm watching that cruel match between Rikkaidai and Fudomine... I'm alright with the defeat of my brother's team but I can't take it anymore when I see my brother hurt! "
" But I can't just break Yukimura's promise to- " he was once again cut off.
" I know about not breaking promises, but can't you at least do that without getting my brother back to recover from the hospital? "
" I'M SORRY OKAY! I WANTED TO DO THAT NOW AND I REGRETTED ALREADY MY ACTIONS BUT I DON'T HAVE A TIME-TRAVELLING CONTRAPTION TO DO THAT! " he shouted to Tachibana, eyes getting bloodshot. Ann dropped her purse in surprise while tears formed from her eyes. After a few minutes, Kirihara's no longer on bloodshot mode. " I'm sorry Ann, I didn't mean to- " he apologized, picking up her purse but Ann got it already.
" Don't even think about apologizing and coming back to me to forgive you, Kirihara-san. I've already heard and had enough. " she said in a different tone. She readied her hand to slap him but she forced herself not to and Kirihara prepared himself to be. " I don't know what else to do to you. Don't see me anymore... " she said, and ran.
Kirihara cannot forgive himself for what he did from that day on.
