There are many things in life that Atobe has come to accept, but this he cannot live with.

Not to be take seriously. l don't know what we were smoking when we thought of this, but it sure worked.

Chapter One

It was a lovely day for a tennis match, and it just so happened that Hyotei was playing against Seigaku! YAY! Echizen against Kabaji. It was an intense match. Eventually the score became tied, the next point would decide the winner.

"FIGHT-O FIGHT-O RYOMA-SAMA!" Came Tomo's ear splitting scream. Kabaji looked over before Ryoma served. He instantly became captivated by her 'beauty'.

"OMG!"

Yelled the crowd "TWIST-O SERVE-O!!!!!" Even though they had all seen it at least 100 times.

Kabaji wasn't paying attention. The ball flew past him for the next 5 serves. Seigaku had won the game, but Kabaji didn't care. For all he wanted was to win the heart of Tomo.

Meanwhile, Tomo continued to cheer for Ryoma oblivious to the fact that the game had ended and people were starting to get creeped out by her excessive noise making.

"Tomo shhh!!" whispered Sakuno, who was of course, beside her.

"I know! I'll go get the awesomely cool sign that we made to celebrate Ryoma's victory!" exclaimed Tomo, while she ignored Sakuno.

As Tomo was coming back from Ryuuzaki's car with her abnormally large sign she noticed a very large figure off to the side... following her.

"GASP!" Shouted Tomo. No, she did not gasp, she just yelled it. "That must be Ryoma right now to congratulate me and ask me on a date and we'll go to that fancy restaurant down the street, then he'll ask me to be his girlfriend and he'll bring me chocolates everyday and flowers sometimes too, then after a few years he'll ask me to marry him, of course I'll say yes, then we'll plan out the wedding, it will be a huge wedding outdoors with flowers, and birds, and small forest critters, and they won't go into the fetal position when they see me like they usually do because I'll be a beautiful bride with a huge princess dress and…"

A few hours later, the large figure approached her and stared at her while she continued rambling. Actually the figure had arrived by her side by the time she said that Ryoma would propose to her.

"…. Then I'll ask him if he'll grow old with me and he'll say-"

"USU!" Said the large figure. Of course Tomo hadn't noticed him and it took her by total surprise. She jumped a whole 3 centimeters into the air (it would have been more if she were capable of it).

And there stood none other than…KABAJI! Who had just recently realized his total and undying love for Tomo only a few hours ago!

"Ah! It's that big guy that Ryoma totally defeated a while ago," Tomo said surprised. Normal people would have been embarrassed, having said all that in front of someone other than Ryoma… but this is Tomo we're talking about.

"Can I help you with something?" she demanded in a voice only Tomo can manage.

"Usu."

"?"

Tomo stared at Kabaji for a few moments before he realized that he was supposed to say more. Unfortunately, Sakuno chose that moment to appear. Well, any moment with Sakuno is unfortunate. Anyway….

"Tomo, where were you! Everyone was so worried! Thank goodness Waldy was with you. It isn't too hard for you to hurt your self."

Tomo stared at Sakuno for a minute, then at Kabaji. Then back to Sakuno, and then back to Kabaji.

"What?" She finally asked. In case you hadn't noticed, Tomo isn't that bright. Sakuno explained that it was 10:00 at night and the matches had been over for four hours.

"Every one's been searching for you for hours!" Sakuno whined. That was a lie.

No one had noticed that Tomo was missing until, when they were all eating their free sushi at Taka's restaurant and celebrating their victory, Horio mentioned how quiet it was. Then Sakuno got up and started looking for Tomo. Everyone else just continued eating, then went home to bed.

"Is it really 10:00?!" Screeched Tomo
"Usu" Replied Kabaji, happy to say anything to his one true love.
"And you're um...Waldy was it?" Asked Tomo
"Kabaji" He said
"Um right. Well, thanks Waldy for um...making sure I wasn't raped by um...Fuji"
"Usu."

Just then Ryuuzaki came running up.
"Where have you been!?" She asked Sakuno "I've been looking for you forever because your parents pretty much don't exist! It's a good thing this young man was here with you. What's your name again?" She turned to Kabaji.
"Kabaji" He replied.
"Well, thank you Waldy"
"Usu."
"Sometimes I think that's all he says!" Cried Tomo
"What 'sometimes'?" Asked Ryuuzaki because Sakuno was wandering off into the middle of the street and it's not like Sakuno would've noticed anyway. "You've known him for a few hours. Technically not even because you didn't even notice him!"
Fortunately, no one present is smart enough or has enough lines to realize that Ryuuzaki just appeared and therefore could not have known this.

At that moment Kabaji's bestest friend in the world showed up. That's right, it's Atobe. In a limo.

" So Kabaji, this is where you've been. Here. With these commoners. Instead of with me." Atobe scowled angrily at Tomo. But then, who wouldn't.

"Usu" replied Kabaji.

"Waldy was kind enough to watch over Tomo for a few hours," stated Sakuno, who had wandered back over to the group.

"Kabaji" Kabaji corrected although it seemed to have little effect.

"Come on Kabaji, I'll take you home." said Atobe. And Kabaji came.

Once Kabaji was safely in the limo and had his seat belt buckled, Atobe signaled to the driver to go leaving behind Sakuno, her grandmother, and Kabaji's new found love
