1. A Meeting by Chance

The sunset cast an orange glow about the school of Rikkaidai. The school was almost quiet, except for the constant sounds of tennis rackets coming into contact with the yellow tennis balls. A lone figure emerged from the school building, carrying a whole lot of things and struggled with her outdoor shoes for a moment before running off in the direction of the gates, as fast as her legs and the things she held allowed her. Running by the tennis courts, she saw. Their school's rumored Second Year Ace, returning balls from alone against the wall. She stopped, and stood there enthralled by his deep perseverance and confidence in his steps.

* thwack *

The sound of the tennis ball hitting the racket was a little different from the previous ones.

" Oh shucks!" the Second Year Ace cursed, as the ball sailed over the wired netting courts, " The best I can do is to continually return three hundred and fourty six," he muttered to himself, " Guess we'll have to stop here for today," he said to himself, looking at the sunset glow.

As she listened to him muttering to himself, she did not realise, that the tennis ball that went out, was just about to make contact with her head. The sudden impact on her head, caused her to simply drop the items in her hands, and fall to the ground. Her glasses slipped off her nose bridge and fell to the ground with a crack.

" Oh my," came Akaya's voice from within the courts. Immediately, he came out, and knelt in front of the girl, " Are you alright? Did it hit your head?" he asked frantically, looking over her head, " Is there a bump?" he lifted his hand, and attempted to touch her head, but immediately retracted his hand, " Erm... Are you alright?" he asked the girl who looked genuinely shocked.

Her heart gave a leap.

" I-I'm alright..." the girl answered, and looked up at him, giving a smile that was probably too brilliant for someone who had just fell on her butt, which he blushed to, " Its just that my glasses fell, and I can't exactly see you properly," she started searching about the ground.

" Ahh, here," Akaya picked up the cracked glasses and handed it to her, which she smiled to. But he soon realised, instead of putting in back on, she instead started on picking up her items that fell onto the ground first.

" Erm, can you pass me that name list there," she pointed to a light blue file that contained the list of names which fell further than the rest, and was right behind Akaya, at his tennis shoes.

" Y-You...can see?" he asked a little doubtful, moving forward and waving his palm before her eyes.

" I-I can only see the general outline. Everything else is a blur," she answered, after hesitating for a while.

" Are you sure you can make it back like this?" he asked, " Shall I send you home?" the Second Year Ace was unusually kind, " Well, you see, I kind of caused you to become like this..." he scratched his seaweed head.

" Its fine!" she sent him another brilliant smile, " I'll be able to make my way home like that," she declined.

" Can you really see?" he asked a little hesitant.

" I am at the very least able to make out a familiar way home," she replied standing up, " Well, have a good evening," she wished him, and went on about her way home, walking in a perfect line towards the gates of the school.

" Ne!" Akaya called, " What's your name?" Akaya asked before as he shouldered his bag.

" Kamiya Suzuna!" she replied rushing out.

" Are you sure you need glasses?" he asked, " You're walking too straightly for a person who needs glasses!" he shouted.

Hearing this, the girl called Kamiya Suzuna sped up her pace and walked right out of the school gates and turned the corner before Akaya could say anything more.

" Who were you talking to just now?" came his Vice Captain's voice.

" 77.4%, it was a girl, given his scarlet blushing face," Yanagi Renji, the Master analysed.

" A girl?" came his Captain's soft gentle voice, " What happened?" the blue haired boy asked gently as he cocked his head sideways, asking the seaweed head for an explanation.

" Erm... I hit a ball out, and it fell right onto her head," Akaya said, facing the Three Demons, extremely nervous.

" Tarundoru!" Sanada raised his voice.

" Maa, Genichiro, let me handle this," Yukimura said with a gentle smile decorating his lips and Sanada immediately backed off, " Akaya," Yukimura began gently, " Did you apologise?" he asked coaxingly.

" Mm." the boy replied.

" Did you ensure nothing was wrong before you let her go?" Yukimura asked.

" I tried," he told his Captain, " But she was kind of like avoiding me," he replied, " But she did smile at me before she left," he explained, " But her glasses broke," he lowered his head.

" Did you get her name?" Yukimura asked.

" Yeah," Akaya nodded, " Kamiya Suzuna," he said.

Yukimura: Ooh, has our little baby found his true love?

Akaya: What true love?

Alya: We'll see about it :) Everyone, did you enjoy the first chapter? And as usual, reviews are a nod nod!
