"It has been months since we saw the prince… I hope he accomplished his goals…" A girl with an auburn colored hair thought as she stares at the sky with her red colored tennis racket she's holding tightly since that day….

It was a normal afternoon day in Seishun Gakuen after the sudden return of the tennis prince, Echizen Ryoma yesterday. Witnessing how he admired and thanks his fellow tennis players as well as his senpai and team mates, Ryuuzaki Sakuno wonders if somehow her prince appreciated or at least if the prince knows her presence and effort to cheer and support the whole tennis club especially him, that she's always supporting him until the day he became the best.

"SAKUNO!" her best friend Tomoka snapped her from her thoughts.

"A-nou gomen Tomo-chan... why?" Sakuno answered apologizing for not noticing her bestfriend earlier.

"See Sakuno.. I can't go home with you today. I have to baby sit my brother… jaa I'll go ahead…" and with another apology , Tomoka go.

Without anything to do and there's no tennis practice, Sakuno went to a nearby park and practice her tennis skill.

"mou`" Sakuno sigh as she finishes her practice not noticing a cat-like eyes watching her.

"mada mada dane.."

Surprise, Sakuno turn around and saw Ryoma sitting in the nearby bench. Sakuno approach Ryoma and sit beside him.

"Ryuuzaki… I'll go back to US tomorrow morning."

Surprised, Sakuno stays quiet for a moment then sadly smiles "Souka.. Gambare Ryoma-kun... you have all our support."

Ryoma stared at her and suddenly, Ryoma put his tennis racket into Sakuno's hand. "Take care of it while I'm gone. I hope it's in its best shape when I returned."

Sakuno doesn't understand it but then Ryoma suddenly added. "I hope that you'll return it to me when I came back for my princess holding my important treasure." And then Ryoma smirk. "Stay safe." Ryoma halted his step and stare back at her. "But still, your hair is too long" and then continue walking.

Sakuno stares at Ryoma's back and smiles, this time a genuine smile. "I'll wait for you then Ryoma-kun…. My prince…"
