Prince of Tennis isn't mine. It belongs to Konomi Takeshi.


Four hours after he arrived, Ryoma found himself wandering around his old neighborhood. Strolling down familiar streets, he started reminiscing about his days walking to and from school with the girl he's been thinking about for the past few weeks.

He smiled to himself as he recounted an instance one afternoon. As he was coming out of the shop where he claimed his new Seigaku regular's jacket, he saw her looking at her shoes while she walked. She stopped; she looked at him with wide eyes which soon shifted to the bag he was holding.

"Wow Ryoma-kun, you have your regular's jacket, Congratulations on becoming a regular!"

"Hn"

"Would you try it on?"

"You're gonna see me wear it tomorrow."

"Oh, right."

Looking at her expression, he started to regret the words he had said, he took out the jacket from the bag then put it on. Seeing the delight and surprise in her eyes made his heart swell. They walked together in silence but the girl's clumsiness kicked in, her braids got caught on a shrub as they were walking through the park, she tripped which led for him to see her panties.

"She was always clumsy." He blushed as his reverie ended then proceeded to walk down the lighted pathway.


"My, my, it's getting late, grandma where are you?" Sakuno thought. The phone suddenly rang.

"Sakuno I'm not going to be able to come home. I'm staying over at a friends' house. Take care of yourself ok?"

"Ok grandma, see you tomorrow."

She sighed to herself as she put the phone down; she caught a glimpse of the photos on the wall. One particular photo was that of the old Seigaku team. Her eyes drifted to the face of the boy she was thinking about earlier. The picture was the first group photo the team took when Ryoma had become a regular.

Her thoughts shifted to one faithful afternoon where the said boy showed her, in his own little way, kindness.

She saw him come out of the store where he got his new regular's jacket, despite her shyness she couldn't stop herself from saying how much she wanted to him wear it.

"Wow Ryoma-kun, you have your regular's jacket, Congratulations on becoming a regular!"

"Hn"

"Would you try it on?"

"You're gonna see me wear it tomorrow."

"Oh, right."

She was hurt, to be honest, but she couldn't help but scold herself because she thought that that would happen. But her mood soon changed when he had surprised her by taking the jacket out of the bag then put it on. She gave him her most sincere smile then they walked together in silence. They decided to take the short cut through the park, along the way, her braids got caught on a shrub then she tripped.

"Mou, why was I so clumsy?" she said as she heard a knock on the door putting a stop to all her musings.
