Chapter 3: "The Threat"

Once again, Ryoma and Ayame walked to the school, except Sempai Momo was not there to join them. When they arrived, Eiji was the one to greet them followed by Oishi. One by one, the regular members of the Seigaku team arrived, until the last one to arrive was the captain. Eiji began to wonder 'When Captain Tezuka is late, why isn't he doing any laps?' he then started to ask the vice captain, Oishi…

"Good morning, Oishi!" he first said

"Good morning too, Eiji, What's the matter, you look so confused today?" Oishi answered

"I just thought why Tezuka isn't making any laps, whenever he arrives late?" Eiji added.

"Ahaha… Eiji… I don't think I should answer that?" Oishi replied, trying to escape from Eiji's question.

"Humph never mind, I won't force you if you don't want!" then Eiji walked out from the tennis court.

"Uh Eiji, wait! I'm very sorry!" Oishi screamed and followed Eiji away from the tennis court. Ryoma approached the Tensai and started a conversation with him.

"Hey, Echizen, good morning!" Fuji greeted as he smiled at Ryoma

"Good morning" Ryoma answered back

"Looks like, Ayame is not with you today!" Fuji suddenly said as he looked back at the walking captain inside the court.

"She went to the room" Ryoma replied back

"Aw. I see!" Fuji said "I better go!"

"Sure…" Ryoma replied and then he also left.

After the morning practice, the Seigaku team members returned to their respective classrooms. Ryoma returned immediately to the class 2 room so that he can attend to their English subject. But when he arrived, their English teacher already left, and 'I'm unlucky today…' he thought and continued himself from entering the room. When he entered, everyone caught his attention but he ignored it. When he looked at his right he saw Ayame looking, smiling at him but he ignored it and then continued himself to his seat.

After a few hours, the bell rang meaning it was already lunch break. When Ayame stood up from her chair and looked at Ryoma's seat, it was already empty. Ayame took a bag beside the chair and ran out of the room, looking for Ryoma.

Ayame took a few minutes from looking for Ryoma around the school and when she was tired from looking she realized that she haven't looked at the roof top. She hurriedly ran to the top of the school, but when she was about to enter the place, she saw the door was opened. She walked slowly and quietly behind the door and when she peeked from the door, she saw Sakuno standing beside Ryoma who was sitting on the middle of the room.

"Ry…Ryoma…" Sakuno said as she walked closer to Ryoma. Ayame began to think of something that made her more interested about Sakuno.

"Why?" Ryoma answered back looking at Sakuno seriously that made Ayame very jealous

"Aaah… you see… I made you some—" Sakuno was interrupted by Ayame who showed herself behind the door.

"Ryoma, at last, I've been looking for you!" Ayame said glaring at Sakuno.

Ryoma and Sakuno were surprised; they both look back at the same time and were interrupted by Ayame walking slowly to their place.

"Uh Ayame" Ryoma said as he stood up from where he sits.

"Ms. Ayame!" Sakuno said hiding a lunchbox behind her.

"Oh! Ms. Ryuzaki? What are you doing here?" Ayame asked as she let her face appear a fake smile that the two of them didn't noticed.

"Oh No-Nothing, I was just…" Sakuno bowed her head from disappointment and tried to make herself energetic and don't make any emotional reactions.

"Ryoma, Let's go!" Ayame said as she grabbed Ryoma and pulled away from Sakuno's side. But, Ryoma removed Ayame's hand from his and looked back seeing Sakuno's face with depression.

"Wait! Uh Sakuno, what are you saying?" Ryoma asked as he looked Sakuno more seriously,

"Ah never mind what I said! I'll better leave; I think I'm disturbing you two!" Sakuno walked out of the room, but Ayame was not happy for that. She grabbed Sakuno's arm and forced her not to go

"What are you talking about? You aren't disturbing us. Besides you're Ryoma's friend, I'm right Ryoma?"

"Uh right" Ryoma added, staring at Sakuno more and more seriously.

"But" Sakuno refused trying to get away from Ayame's touch but she was powerless.

"I know why don't you join us for lunch?" Ayame added that made Ryoma and Sakuno surprised, not expecting that Ayame would do such a thing. Sakuno glanced Ryoma's face and then looked back

"Huh no thanks!" then she smiled, acting that she's fine, but the truth is, she wasn't. She tried again to remove Ayame's hands, and finally she did, but not because she have the power, because Ayame let go.

"Come on Sakuno, don't be so kill joy! I will be disappointed to you, if you will not join us for lunch! It's once in a lifetime experience, so why not join us!" Ayame forced again, looking at Sakuno's eyes meaningfully, telling that she's very eager to eat lunch with Ryoma together with Sakuno.

"I guess… Okay…" Sakuno said as she faced the door slowly.

"Great then, let's go!" Ayame grabbed Ryoma's arms and embraced it while they walked out of the roof top, down the stairs and walked through the corridors as the students around them staring at them, feeling so jealous again. Sakuno on the other hand, was just walking behind them, feeling so jealous but trying not to show her weak side.

At last they arrived at the school canteen, there they sat near a window, took out their lunches and started to eat. Ayame looked at Sakuno smiling, 'why is she smiling!' Ayame thought as she took a piece of fried fish from her lunchbox

"I made you some lunch, Ryoma! I made it specially!" she said as she feed Ryoma using her chopsticks

"Thank you" Ryoma replied back, eating the fried fish on his mouth.

"Uh Sakuno would you like?" Ayame asked, handing over her lunchbox to Sakuno

"Thanks, but no thanks!" Sakuno refused and returned herself from eating her own lunch, forcing herself not to watch the two eating with the same chopsticks. Ayame became more annoyed; she felt something inside, a feeling that she wants someone to suffer. She felt greedy and loathe to Sakuno and began to look at her badly.

"Uhmm Sakuno, may I ask you something?" Ayame asked as she took sipped a small amount of water from her distilled water.

"Sure" Sakuno answered with her calm and soft voice

"Do you have a lover… or… someone you like—no Love, I mean." Ayame added as she put her bottle from its place. Ryoma became more alert; he looked Sakuno deeply in her brown eyes.

"No, I don't! But" Sakuno was interrupted. She caught Ryoma looking at her seriously and deeply, that changed her mind to move on

"But what" Ayame asked looking at her very interestedly.

"Never mind!" Sakuno said as she took a bite in her home-made lunch. Ayame felt something again inside, that made her more irritated to Sakuno

"Okay… I wont for you, if you don't want" Ayame ended.

After a few minutes of silence, the school bell rang telling that it was already 1:00 P.M. The silence between the three broke when Ryoma panicked.

"I almost forgot!" Ryoma screamed as he took his bag quickly from Ayame's side.

"About what, Ryoma" Ayame asked suddenly looking at Ryoma with her face saying: Don't go but Stay! And then she grabbed Ryoma's hand.

"The practice will start at exact 1!" Ryoma said trying to get away from Ayame.

"That's okay, Ryoma!" Ayame replied

"No it isn't!" Ryoma shouted looking at Ayame with his annoying look

"But why!" Ayame shouted back while Sakuno was just watching at them shouting. But Sakuno decided to interrupt when Ryoma couldn't answer back

"I know, who ever came late during the practice will be punished… like running for 30-50 laps or drink Sempai Inui's vegetable juice or Aozu" she discussed.

Ayame glared at her and let go Ryoma's hand.

"Thanks, bye!" he said and then he left.

"Wait!" Ayame disrupt again. She stood up and grabbed Ryoma's hand and pulled him to her body. She kissed Ryoma slightly on his lips and then she pushed Ryoma away from her. Sakuno was shocked and couldn't believe that Ryoma was kissed by Ayame greedily.

"Bye!" Ayame said as she waved goodbye at Ryoma whose eyes were widened in surprised and left the school canteen, running. Ayame sat back to her place and crossed her leg above the other. She took her bottle and sipped a small amount of water from the straw and looked at Sakuno very seriously… again.

"tsk. tsk. tsk. Sakuno… Sakuno" Ayame began and looked at her very deeply from her eyes.

"What's the matter, Ms. Ayame?" Sakuno asked as she looked at Ayame too.

"Oh nothing I just thought how… foolish you are!" Ayame ended a slight giggle.

"What do you mean Ms. Ayame?"

"Never mind what I said. You know what, Ryoma is very special, since we were in America, he's always there on my side to protect me, and he never leaved me alone."

"That's nice" Ryoma replied as she bowed her head again from disappointment.

"And when I heard that we were engaged. I was very proud to say that I am his fiancée! So…"

"Yes?"

"What I really mean is… I don't want others take him from me…"

"You really love him, don't you?" Sakuno said as she smiled at Ayame's face

"Of course I do!" Ayame giggled, as Sakuno faced became serious. "Please Sakuno, don't ever come closer to Ryoma!" she threatened with her unforgivable tone of voice. She once again sipped her water and realized that it was already empty.

"What do you mean?" Sakuno began to react nervously.

"From the first time, I already noticed that you like—no, Love Ryoma that much!"

"huh?"
"I always see your eyes looking at us very jealous."

"No I wasn't!"

"Don't deny anymore, Sakuno. You're too obvious! Can't you see Ryoma already has a fiancée and that's me!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Like I said; if you don't want to suffer, stay away from Ryoma!"

"But that's—" sakuno was interrupted by a scream of a familiar voice behind her, and when she looked back, it was Tomoka approaching them, 'Tomo!'

"I better leave!" Ayame said as she stood up from her seat.

"Sakuno!" Tomoka pant, when she was already standing Sakuno's side "Ah! Ryoma's Fiancée!" Tomoka screamed again

"Hi Ms. Tomoka, I better go Remember what I said, Ms. Ryuzaki!" she smiled and turned back "bye-bye!" then she left.

Sakuno was very surprised for what Ayame said "Like I said; if you don't want to suffer, stay away from Ryoma" those words… Those words were the one that Sakuno don't want to hear, especially from the one who looks at her very seriously.

"Sakuno! I've been looking for you!" Tomoka said as she panted again, but Sakuno didn't listen nor answered, 'what shall I do?' Sakuno thought. Until Tomoka shake her head

"SAKUNO!"

"Ah yes!"

"What happened to you?"

"No-nothing!"

"You're acting very weird today!"

"Sorry what you were saying?"

"Ryoma's practice match is already starting! Let's go" Tomoka said as she grabbed Sakuno and pulled her out of the seat.

"Yes!"

When they arrived at the tennis court, the game was starting; Echizen versus Momoshiro.

"Love 15!" the referee shouted as Momoshiro scored.

"Good one, Sempai Momo!" Echizen complimented as he hit the tennis ball.

"Go Ryoma!" Tomoka cheered as she jumped on her place and waved at Ryoma. Sakuno tried to cheer, but when she was about to did it, she saw Ayame looking at her on the other side of the court.

'Uh Ayame? Oh I almost forgot… what shall I do?' Sakuno looked at Ryoma playing tennis with energy 'Ryoma… help me…'

After a few sets and scores, Ryoma won from his match with Momoshiro. The referee waved his hand to Ryoma's hand while he was sitting on his chair and announced the winner

"Game set by Echizen! Winner Echizen!" the referee said while he lowered his hand. Everyone congratulate Echizen even though it was just a practice match.

"You did it again, Ryoma!" Tomoka screamed to death but then she was paused when Ayame glared at her as she entered the tennis court and went closer to Ryoma.

"That was a nice game, Echizen!" Momoshiro said and congratulate Echizen who was drinking a bottle of water. Ayame ran to Ryoma and hugged him tightly

"Ryoma, Congrats!" Ayame greeted as she made her hugged more tightly.

"Ah Ayame, not in here!" Ryoma ordered but it was no use, Ayame was still hanging on his body. Everyone was surprised especially Ryoma's fans of course.

"Look, Ms. Ayame and Ryoma! Aren't they so sweet?" Eiji began to get envy for Ryoma.

'Ayame!' Tomoka screamed inside and wanted to blow up in anger. Sakuno tried to calm her down but it was no use, but Tomoka became angrier when the both of them saw Ayame who was about to kiss their prince.

"Wait" Ryoma tried to stop her and she did, but not because of Ryoma, because of their coach, Ryuzaki Sumire.

"Ayame!" Sumire screamed as she went closer to the two. Ayame released Ryoma and wiped her uniform,

"Argh what is it, Ryuzaki sensei?" Ayame said as she showed her smile again.

"You will be having a practice match right now! Let's go!" Sumire said and went out of the court followed by Ayame, pulling Ryoma's sleeves.

"Coming! Let's go Ryoma! You should support your fiancée!" Ayame said and then Ryoma followed her

"Okay, Okay" Ryoma answered.

Eiji heard the news that Ayame has a game, so he forced Oishi to come with him and watched Ayame playing.

"Wow! Ryoma's fiancée will be having a match, Oishi let's go watch her!"

"But"

"Please please, please, please" Eiji forced him again.

"But—" Oishi said again, looking at Tezuka who was standing behind Eiji

"Next game, Eiji and Oishi" Tezuka ordered as he fixed his spectacles.

"What, but Buchou!" Eiji screamed

"Want to run in 10 laps?" Tezuka looked at Eiji seriously that made Eiji frighten.

"Fine, Oishi let's go!" Eiji yelled, and then he took his racket and entered the court together with Oishi.

"I'm sorry, Eiji" Oishi apologized and smiled at Eiji who was pouting beside him.

"Don't worry, Eiji! I'll go watch her!" Taka shouted, waving at Eiji.

"But that's unfair!" Eiji cried.

Some students went to the other court to watch Ryoma's fiancée's game so that they can gather information about her and to tell if she's good in tennis. Inui was the first one to watch, he took out his notebook and thinking of a new data to collect about Ayame Matoko.

"Game 1 by Matoko!" the referee shouted as Ayame scored.

'This is easy' Ayame thought and smiled to her opponent.

"She's good!" Inui murmured while he was writing something on his notebook. Ryoma began to look at Ayame more seriously as she scored once again.

"That's not the real Ayame…" Ryoma said; Inui and the others looked at him puzzled.

"What do you mean, Echizen?" Inui asked.

"You'll know, after her few scores" Ryoma answered back.

Once again, Ayame won the next game; it was already 4-0. The 5th game started, it was Ayame's opponent's turn to serve, but when Ayame strike back, it was Ayame's score.

"Love-30!" the referee once again shouted. A smile appeared from Ayame's face and began to think that the game was so easy for her.

"Love 60! Game 5 by Matoko" the referee shouted again. It was their last game, until Sakuno appeared from Ryoma's side and watched the game seriously.

'She's good in tennis' Sakuno thought "It's her last game…"

"I know what you're thinking about, Sakuno!" Ryoma answered. Sakuno looked at him and asked,

"Ryoma, what do you mean?"

"Watch her…" Ryoma said as his eyes began to show tension.

Sakuno looked at Ayame and noticed that Ayame was looking at her.

Flash back:

"Like I said; if you don't want to suffer, stay away from Ryoma!"

End of Flashback

Sakuno moved away from Ryoma then Ayame returned her sight back to the ball.

"Here it is..." Ryoma said.

"Argh SMASH ILLUSION!" Ayame shouted that caught everyone's attention. Everyone was surprised, they saw Ayame's secret move… the Smash Illusion. When Ayame uses this technique, when she smashes, the ball began to split into a few balls, like an illusion, that's why it's called Smash Illusion (isn't it so weird… I invented it).

"Game set: 6-0, Winner Matoko Ayame!" the referee screamed and then Ayame wiped her skirt/

"Wow" everyone thought looking at Ayame very frightened. Ayame looked at Sakuno very seriously; she faced her and pointed her tennis racket to her face far from her.

"You're next…" Ayame shouted and everyone looked at Sakuno "…Ryuzaki Sakuno" and then she laughed a little.
