Saa...I really don't know what I'm doing posting this, when this was supposed to be a oneshot, but while watching episode 143 it just simply...the chapter just didn't let itself be ignored. Thus this is a tiny sequel I guess...

Summary: The thoughts Ryoma had after he woke up at start of ep 143...

Disclaimer: Tennis no Oujisama/Prince of Tennis does not in anyway belong to me. If it where...why would I be even whriting this?

Warning: Contains hints at Male x Male relationship.

Buchou – Captain

Oyaji – How Ryoma usually adresses his father.

On to the fic!

Again...

I had that dream again...

Once again Buchou was in my dream again. Leaving as if for forever, leaving me behind with a terrible feeling of my heart being stabbed by thousands of needles while he was slowly dissapearing...

And to add it all up, Karupin had to appear right afterwards and get run over by a speeding car while crossing the road to be by my side.

It hurt seeing that...but why did the knowledge of never seeing buchou again hurt even more then losing Karupin?

I hate this feeling...I'm Ryoma Echizen! The Samurai Junior, not a crybaby who would cry his heart out at seeing theyr captain leave, like in the dream! And I treasure my sleeping time too, so I hate to be woken up before it being needed by stupid dream's like this! Even the sun hadn't fully rose yet...

Wait...Was that buchou I'm seeing outside at such an early hour? And...Whats this fluttery feeling I feel from just catching a glimpse of him? I...I feel like I need to go to him. As fast as I can...but why? Why do I feel such a need to be by his side again?

...Was it the dream? If so...then why? Why is buchou's importance to me rivaling even Karupin's?

It...It's just 'cause he he's the final stepping stone towards beating Oyaji, right? I...I need him to promise me a match after the tournament. So I could beat him in tennis then...and when I do that, these distractive emotions will dissapear...right?
