Ryoma POV

I checked my watch and saw it was exactly 4:45. If I could get home by 5:00 then I'd have an hour to cook Nanako's dinner. But I'll have to run. Ugh, why won't this day end already!

Once I got home I went straight to making Nanako's dinner. I can only make rice and some sushi. Nanako probably won't like that. Maybe I should order out and just make it look like I made it. No, she won't be tricked by that. Ah, forget it I'll just make her some eggs and bacon.

Just as I thought, she didn't like the dinner. When she saw it she picked up her plate and threw it at me.

"What the fuck is this?" She screamed.

My face stung from the hot eggs on my face. I didn't answer and simply bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the plate.

"You are such an ungrateful child! It's no wonder your parents never want to take you to America."

I know talking back isn't the right thing to do but I can't listen to her anymore! "I am very grateful for many things in my life. Just because you are not one of them doesn't mean you have to be abusive." I gave her that grin only tennis opponents have seen.

"Oh so you think I am abusive?" She flashed a deceiving smile in my direction. "Ryoma, honey, why don't you leave that mess their and go to your room. You must be tired."

She began to walk over to the kitchen sink and looked back at me with that smile. "Is something wrong? Ryoma?" She said my name in an abhorred tone that sent shivers up my spine. Not wanting to look at her anymore I head to the stairs. When I reached my room I closed my door and laid on my bed.

I guess I fell asleep because when I woke it was 2 am. I realized I hadn't done my homework yet. Even though I was tired I knew I had to get something done. In order to stay awake I needed my ponta. I turned the knob on my door and it wouldn't open. My door can't be locked from the outside could it? I knew she was being weird. So this is what she was planning. Oh well I guess I can go back to sleep.

Nanako pov

Stupid brat! You think you can phase me? Hah! I bet you don't even know your own mother is involved! I wonder how long you'll last in your room. You don't need to be here anyways.

When I left home I didn't hear any noise coming out of his room. I bet the brat is still sleeping. That is my biggest pet peeve! To wake him up I slammed the door as hard as I could.

College today was usual. I wished it was over already there is nothing to do here. When Auntie and Uncle get back I'm gonna go to a hot spring for vacation.

At that thought my phone began to ring. "Hello?" I answered

"Hi hi, Nanako-chan!" A familiar voice replied.

"Auntie! I've been waiting for your call!" Auntie usually calls me everyday but she hasn't called in while.

"It's been a while, hasn't it? How's school going?"

"It's going well. When will you be coming home? I need a vacation!"

"Haha, soon. Nanijiroh wants to play a match with his son." I could hear the disgust in her voice on mentioning her son's name.

"Um, I have to go Auntie. Call me back soon."

"I will honey. Have a good day."

"Goodbye."

I can never keep talking to her when she talks about Ryoma. Don't tell me I'm starting to feel sympathy for him! Maybe I'm just tired.

Fuji pov

At tennis practice I saw Eiji running toward Momo-chan. Since those two always seem to have interesting conversations, I decided to listen in. I took my seat behind a bush near by.

"Ne ne, Momo-chan! Where's Ochibi?" Eiji wined.

"I don't know. When I went to pick him up this morning no one seemed to be home."

"Maybe Ryoma-kun isn't feeling well after what happened yesterday."

"Ah! Fuji-senpai? Where did you come from?" Momo-chan said with a surprised face.

"From behind the bush. Anyways, Ryoma-kun needs some rest." I said and began to walk back to the courts.

I wonder if Ryoma-kun talked to his cousin yesterday. I wanted to ask him about it today but he's not here. Haha I think I'll be making a pit stop before I go home today.

Practice flew by and I had plastered a smile on my face. I left the locker rooms as soon as possible.

I reached Ryoma's house and rang the door bell. There was no answer. I rang it again. Nothing. To make sure no one was home I went around to the back of the house. I scanned for an open window and found one. Luckily on the first floor. I left my school and tennis bag outside and made my way through the window.

"Hello? Anyone home?"
