"…" talking

'…' thinking

Chapter 1

She Came Back to Me

Frozen in his place as another ball passes him scoring another point for his opponent, Ryoma couldn't think. He could hear his team, Hiyoshi, Atobe, and even Akutsu yelling at him to move, but his body still refused to budge. He was sure he was about to lose this match, until a familiar voice filled his ears.

"ECHIZEN RYOMA, DON'T YOU DARE LOSE! REMEMBER OUR PROMISE!"

'That voice is so familiar... Promise? I made a promise…? Lose? I never lose.' Ryoma finally came back to his senses and returned the ball, surprising Sanada and earning a point back.

"No one beats me in tennis." He said as his golden-eyes shined brightly at the still shocked Sanada.

Ryoma finished the game within fifteen minutes, winning the Kanto Regional Finals for Seigaku seven games to five. Despite the people surrounding him and congratulating him on his winning, all he could think about was the familiar voice. He wanted to leave and look for the person that voice belonged to, but he could barely see over the tall people surrounding him or even go through them. Ryoma began to think that the voice was just a part of his imagination.

"Ochibi are you okay?" Kikumaru's loud voice suddenly rang through his right ear causing him to lean away from the red head who didn't know anything about personal space. Despite the throbbing eardrum he told the red head he was fine.

"Yo! Chibisuke!" another familiar voice called him from afar, but at least he could figure out who this person was. Ryoma turned to see his brother running up to him. His brother was wearing a skintight white v-neck, dark blue jeans, and red sneakers.

"What." Ryoma replied coldly.

"Don't be so mean to your brother after he has so graciously brought you a present." Ryoga almost laughed at the suspicious expression on his brother's face.

"Present?" Ryoma knew presents from Ryoga were either a prank or just a bad cheap gift.

"Don't worry Chibisuke, it's not a prank, and she is definitely not a bad gift." Ryoga laughed at his brother's glare and the regular's confused faces behind the younger Echizen. Ryoga turned towards the stands where everyone used to be seated. A girl with straight, waist-length, jet black hair came running up to them panting for air. Her straight bangs stopping above her big hazel eyes and framing around her flawless, creamy-colored face. Her cheeks flushed from the heat and probably running, but it gave her a nice glow to her face.

"Ryoga-nii! I was just here! Why'd you call me to meet you at the vending machines? I thought you got lost so I started running around looking for you only to find you HERE, where I was before you called!" The girl inhaled a good amount of air after saying so much and so fast.

"Ki-chan?" Ryoma said without thinking making the regulars look between the two.

"Ryo-kun! I've missed you." Her hazel eyes becoming more glossy as her tears were beginning to show. She ran into Ryoma's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist as she buried her face into his chest. For a moment, he just forgot about everyone around them and smiled as he hugged her back.

"I missed you too…" Ryoma's hold on her became a little tighter as he said that.

"Hey, Ryo? Do you remember our promise?"
