Thank you once again for the reviews, and as a WARNING, Tezuka may seem a little OOC.

Disclaimer: I would if I could but I don't.

The rest of the day followed much the same pattern, Tezuka appearing in places he wasn't suppose to appear in, Kara ducking for cover behind garbage cans, and Eiji or Fuji covering for her. Finally Eiji was fed up.

"Nya," he complained tiredly, "Why don't you just tell him?"

"I just want to surprise him," Kara told Eiji yet again. He just frowned in confusion, she shook her head and looked around, "Hey, where's Fuji?" Eiji smiled and looked around quickly.

"He's out hunting," he whispered.

"Hunting?"

"A small, talented, black-haired boy."

"What?"

"Ochibi!" His boyfriend!" Eiji practically yelled.

"Boyfriend!" He didn't tell me about that!" Kara said in shock.

"We haven't seen you in six years, when could he have told you?"

"We email."

"What!"

"Shouldn't you be heading to practice?" Kara asked, distracting Eiji.

"Nya! Don't think I'll forget this!" Eiji threatened as he ran off.

Okay, so I have about a half hour before I can go out there, Kara thought, What am I going to say? She tortured herself over this for said half hour before deciding to just go down and take whatever happens.

Walking down to the tennis courts was even worse than waiting, but seeing everyone again was worth it. Kara walked to the fence and stood next to the serious Inui Sadaharu who was scribbling furiously, "Probability of Oishi hitting the baseline with his Moon Volley..." Kara muttered loud enough for Inui to hear.

"99.9973" Inui replied, "So you're back?" he asked without looking up.

"Hai."

"For good?"

"For as long as I'm welcome," Inui finally looked up at her.

"Then welcome back," He said smiling, she smiled in return.

"Hey! Inui! Stop flirting and come play a match with me!" Momo yelled. The entire court fell silent as every member of the tennis team turned to look at Kara and Inui. Oishi spoke up first.

"Hey, isn't that-"

"KARA!" yelled Oishi, Eiji, and Taka (He had a racket in his hand), as they rushed over to where they were standing. Kara was treated to a bone crushing hug from Taka, a glomp from Eiji, and a medical check from Oishi, all while they talked non-stop.

"How are-"

"What are-"

"KARA!" (That was Eiji)

"When did-"

"What have-"

"I missed you!" (Eiji again)

Kara laughed, "One at a time! And Eiji, I saw you thirty minutes ago." While she was saying this Tezuka and Fuji walked up.

"Alright, back to practice," Tezuka said, "You can talk to her later." A disappointed moan swept the three, "Do you want to run laps?" He asked. A second later everyone was practicing again, everyone except Fuji. Tezuka raised his eyebrow.

"Play nice," Fuji advised, "And don't say anything you might regret." And walked back to resume his game with Ryoma. Kara and Tezuka stood side by side watching the practice matches.

Kara broke the silence first, "I missed you." Tezuka didn't blink.

"It's called e-mail."

"You didn't give the impression you wanted to hear from me."

"You were leaving. What was I suppose to do? Beg?"

"No! But a little encouragement would have been nice!"

"Would you have stayed?" Tezuka shot back. Kara hesitated.

"I don't know." Silence reigned for a couple minutes until she spoke up again, "I did miss you," she whispered.

"I missed you too."

Aww...wasn't that sweet. Alright Review time. Hit that button, You know you want to.
