Hi everyone! This is rookiestar83! But because I forgot my e-mail and password at my rookiestar83 account, I must make some way to update! And here I am! rookie-chanpart2! I must be really rookiestar83 part 2, but it seems like longer than my pen name(for now). I'm still loyal to ShikaTema pairings, but for now I'm gonna start up this account with RyoSaku pairings! This must been have one Halloween special, but I can't really put them up in the story- I wonder how horror-writing authors can write with spooky imagination without even being bothered in their sleep at night. What a very strong power!

Not actually my first fiction, but first fiction with this category of anime. One of my faves- Prince of Tennis! Here it comes!!!! Disclaimer: Oh before I forgot, I do not own Prince Of Tennis and with any of its characters. If the characters are out of their minds, pls review it to me after reading. Hope you'll enjoy this story!

"Karupin..." one familiar voice came into the empty picture.

Meow...Meow...

"Chase it..." Ryoma pulled out one tennis ball from his hollow pocket while his cat started to chase after the ball.

Meow...Meow... Karupin kept the ball from rolling with both of its paws. The ball kept on rolling, and it rolled at some various parts of the house. He even followed his cat for more stuff.

"Oi Karupin, not there!" Ryoma yelled when he saw his cat rolling the ball only centimeters away from the door unto the canal.

Meow...

Karupin touched the tennis ball with one of its paw and the ball fell unto the dirty canal.

"No! Karupin don't plunge!" Ryoma yelled again when he saw his cat ready to plunge at the running canal.

Finally Karupin really plunged in for him to catch the ball and bring it back to his owner, and the poor boy followed the visible running canal.

"Karupin!" he followed the visible route of the canal where he found his cat even worn up with dirty water, still tries to chase up the ball.

"Hmm...it's really nice to be young...Lalalalala..." Ryoma heard Momoshiro humming on his bicycle from behind.

"Momo senpai, I'll take the bike!" Ryoma stopped one second and pushed Momoshiro out of the bike. He rode himself following the route of the canal quickly.

"Echizen! Oi Echizen!" Momoshiro was left from behind. "Echizen did not know that the breaks are not functioning properly..." Momoshiro just scratched his head.

------------------

"Karupin?!" Ryoma didn't knew that he's already at one village and another, and in his hopes he tried to be advance before the route- hoping that at one end of the canal, he'll be there to save his Karupin. Until he realized that the route he was following was towards to a tennis court. He saw his Karupin at the side of one canal near to its end, and he gripped the break. But...

"What? The breaks are not working!" he reacted. He just saw one shocked Sakuno that was to cross at the bicycle's path.

"Ryuzaki! Look out!" Ryoma shouted as Sakuno quickly crossed out when she saw one coming high-speed bike before her. She tripped and sat at the ground with that kinda force, and saw the cat landing towards her. As to Ryoma, he changed the direction of the bike to avoid the path from her.

Meow...

Karupin flew at the disgraced-sitting Sakuno on her lap with the tennis ball. The bike bumped at the tree- better he jumped out from the bike before it bumps unto that hecky thing.

Sakuno wondered why there is a raccoon like cat at her lap and a tennis ball.

Tennis ball? Ugh... Sakuno wondered.

"Ryoma-kun?!" Sakuno looked at the previous phase of the bike, and saw one injured Ryoma at his elbow. She saw him put off the dirt from his pants with his hands.

Meow...

Karupin mew and Ryoma heard it. He walked at the direction where he heard his cat, and Karupin jumped out to its owner.

"Karupin...you're miserable!" Ryoma sniffed when he smelled Karupin's foul smell, but Karupin just cuddled Ryoma with his tail. "I'm gonna give you a bath as soon as we get in the house." Ryoma stroked the cat's dirty fur, his vulnerability was quitely shown before Sakuno.

Ryoma-kun is the cat's owner? Sakuno thought of, remembering when Karupin made miserable things happened at their school. She stared at the cuddly scene of him and the cat, when suddenly he looked straight at her eyes. Sakuno jumped out a little and looked at the ground.

Ryoma-kun is staring at me! What am I gonna do? Sakuno worriedly thought again. Her eyebrows narrowed. She didn't know that Ryoma stood up and was already on semi-kneel before her. She was snapped back when she heard Karupin meowed again, and looked up. When she raised her face, she only found any few centimeters away from his face.

"Oi Ryuzaki... you okay?" Ryoma asked nervously. His face was shaded with a light shade of pink. As for Sakuno's place, she has ten shades of maroon.

Ryoma-kun is only centimeters away from me! Oh, if time can only fast forward by itself.. So this incident will finally stop! Sakuno had her heart pumped faster. Her shocked face was miserable.

"Ha..hai..." Sakuno response, stuttering. Ryoma noticed her face with the dirt because of Karupin, and pulled out his blue handkerchief. He wiped off the dirt from her blushing face. And...

"My god..." Sakuno fainted.

"Oi Ryuzaki..." Ryoma held both of her shoulders and tried to wake her, while Karupin plays his tail before Sakuno's face.

Meow.
