This is my first story . pls read and review! i really appreciate it! the idea of the story is from one of my dreams, from the moment i woke up i wanted to share it but it's hard to express it in words. i hope you can feel the excitement as i did in my dream ^^ Enjoy~
Ryoma was tired and exhausted. Today's practice was another one of Inui's evil special trainings, he threaten them with his new "super duper veggie remix with a little bit honey " juice. Luckily Ryoma escaped the evil liquid; he didn't even make a tiny little mistake.
"Oi! Echizen! You wanna go eat some burgers before you head back?" Momo offered
"Ok, senpai's treat?"
"Eh?! But I'm saving for a new racket right now!"
"Then I guess you'll just have to miss the new offer that only sells to 2 people today.. only today…. It's a burger with extra large buns, cheese, mea-.."
"Ok! Ok!" Momo looks at his wallet and sighs
A hungry Ryoma and an empty wallet Momo walked home with 2 extra large burgers. *mom calling –vibrate- mom calling –vibrate-* *picks up phone*
"Hello… yes…. What?! Ok…ok…..bye" Momo slipped the phone back in his pocket.
"You recorded your own voice and made it your ringtone for your mom?" Ryoma lifted an eyebrow.
"Yea.. something wrong with that?... ah! I gotta go! See ya tomorrow!"
Ryoma watched his baka senpai ran home while singing "buffet~ buffet~ yummy yummy…"
He walked home while continue eating his extra large burger. Under the setting sun, he saw something blinking in the bushes that attracted his attention. He ate the last bit of the burger and threw the wrapping of the burger into a nearby trashcan and went looking for the thing.
"What the.." Ryoma picked up the ring he found, it has a white triangular diamond on top and smaller ones around it. "who would leave behind this? It must worth a fortune!" He put it into his bag and walked home.
~Next day~
"Everyone! 20 laps around the court! 30 for the regulars!" shouted the stoic captain. And Inui threaten those who lagged behind with his new improved Aozu.
"Nya~ I wish Inui would stop with the juice" the cat like regular sighed.
"Saa… but they're quite good you know" said the prodigy with his usual smile.
"Eiji! Fuji! 10 more laps for talking!"
"Nya~!" Eiji started to run even faster while Fuji just chuckled.
After the laps, Fuji went to the changing room to get his towel.
"I'm certain I left it here.." Fuji searched the room for his precious towel, and found it on top of Ryoma's tennis bag. "I wonder who put it there…" he picked up the towel that his grandma made him and saw the ring inside the bag. "Hmm… what's a ring doing in Echizen's bag" he took a closer look at the ring "T-This ring! What is it doing here?! " Fuji's eyes widen in shock
" Fuji-senpai, what are you doing?" Fuji span around with a stern face " Echizen! Where did you get this ring?!" Ryoma was shocked by his senpai's reaction "I found it in the bushes at the park.. W-Why?" Fuji just looked at him "Are you going to return this?" he said in a calmer voice
" I-I don't know.. maybe I guess. Why?"
"Nothing… I just...nothing. Just make sure you give this to the police, ok?"
" Ok…" Fuji gave the ring back to Ryoma and left. "What was that all about?..."
"Echizen! Come on! Or you'll get punished with Inui-senpai's juice!" Momo shouted. Ryoma snapped back into reality "C-coming!" he put the ring into his pocket and ran towards the courts.
"Inui! Please explain today's training"
Inui put down the box of equipment "Now, today's training is about switching techniques. You'll pick a partner and you'll have to do each other's technique. You'll have 10 minutes to do so, if you fail or make a mistake when doing the technique it will be accounted as your loss and have to drink my new improved Aozu" Inui poured a glass of the purple sparkling juice as an example and everyone gulped in fear. With an evil grin, the training begun.
"First match! Kawamura vs Kaidoh! "
"BURNINGGG! Come on baby!"
"Shhhh…"
"Begin!" Kaidoh served the ball and the rally begins. They both tried to find the right timing to do each other's technique but it was easier said than done.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that you will be disqualified if you use your own techniques." Inui suddenly added when he saw that Kawamura was going to use his Hadokyuu.
"Eh?!" Kawamura tried to stop but his racket had already came in contact with the ball and it zoomed pass the court inches from Kaidoh's face.
"Here" Kawamura received and looked at the glass of death and drunk it bravely "AAHHH!" he immediately ran to the bathroom without hesitation. The others looked at the juice horrified with a unified thought "I cannot lose!" andthe matches went on. All of them passed, safe from the juice of terror.
The last match was Ryoma vs Fuji. When they walked into the court, Ryoma noticed Fuji's expression, it wasn't the smiley look he always had, he looked worried. Ryoma served the ball and another rally begun. They didn't use any technique not even their own.
"10 minutes are up! You both have to drink the juice"
"Saa... I wonder what it tastes like this time" Fuji took it and gulped it. "Not bad" he said with his usual smile back. "Nya~ the undefeatable Fuji" Ryoma also survived the juice, everyone was surprised. "O'chibi? You sure you're not just holding back?" Eiji teased him. "Mada mada dane, Eiji-senpai"
~After Practice~
"So tired…" Ryoma lied on his bed. He looked at his tennis bag for a while and a sudden thought stroked him "The ring! I forgot about it!" Ryoma took out the ring and sighed "Just have to wait till tomorrow I guess" He slipped the ring into his finger for fun and looked at it, it was too big for his finger "Why was Fuji-senpai so angry when he saw it? Is it his?"
"Meow~" Ryoma's deep thoughts were distracted by the calling of his favorite pet.
" Karupin!" he picked up the Himalayan feline and played with him. The ring on his finger suddenly started to shrink into his finger size but he was too busy playing with Karupin to notice.
After having Karupin rampaging through his room to catch a tennis ball,Ryoma yawned "time for bed", even Karupin was fast asleep on his bed, but thenhe felt something between his fingers "The ring!" He sat up and tried to take it off but it wouldn't budge "I swear it was too big just now" he went to the bathroom and rubbed some soap in between the ring and his finger and tried to pull it off but it still wouldn't come off. He sighed "I'll deal with this tomorrow" with that he went back to bed and was asleep within seconds without knowing that his life was going to be forever changed from that moment onwards.
