3/when things were different...
"wuuuuuuuu!!!" eiji dashed out of the tennis court with his hands covering his mouth.
oishi followed suit one minute later...
ryoma KNEW what had happened, and he KNEW that he would suffer the same fate as eiji soon after inui appeared in front of him with a glass of red liquid, whatever he called "drink", which was in fact NOT-SO-DRINKABLE after all :S
let's just say fuji syuusuke was the weird one, the only one that can survive inui's "drinks", other than azure.
the rest cant
they have no such ability
yet they cant escape from fate
they (ryoma + golden pair +tezuka) had to receive their punishment
for losing in their games
(i wonder how many are cursing inui at this time...)
the golden pair had proven that THIS was something that not ordinary people can take in
inui approached the pair first, then ryoma.
he cannot afford to offend tezuka, his ex and current captain
the 3rd-years at that time had stayed together all the while
they had continued to play tennis
tezuka had stuck with his "laps punishment" to whoever that had accidentally offended him
or had caused a nuisance to the tennis group
in fact, the number has increased
at junior high, it was usually 10-20laps, or 50 laps for special cases
at senior high, it was 50-60laps. special cases were "granted" 100 laps !!!
...
"echizen,"
ryoma drank it
"inui's grand masterpiece", he called it
(perhaps he got the idea from you-know-which-school's coach)
but make this clear
THIS WAS NO MASTERPIECE
...
ryoma dashed to the nearest toilet
...
"captain,"
tezuka glared at him
still, a punishment was a punishment
tezuka could not deny this
...
he took the "drink"
...
inui, just you wait...
tezuka had planned out his revenge
"how many laps should it be?"
tezuka thought to himself
...
and he walked out of the court, keeping his fast pace
look cool, look cool...BUT...
he could not do that any further
"grand masterpiece" was totally unbearable
he dashed out of the court
...
...
they were all in the same toilet
not that there was only one in the entire ares
but there was only one NEAREST toilet
...
...
~thoughts flodding through minds~
~(finished puking) nyah THIS was horible~
~(oishi busy puking)~
~why did i bother coming here !!! inui-senpai !!! (continues to puke)~
~80laps? no...100laps? (pukes)~
...
...
sakuno was stunned
it was VERY-KNOWN that inui's drinks were scary
but it seemed that the scariness has increased over the years
...
ryoma-kun, is he okay?
...
deep inside her heart
she still cared for her ryoma-kun
...
...
after all the puking was done (gosh this sounds weird, it sounds some some sort of puking contest =__=")
...
it was already evening
...
dinner was provided by kawamura's sushi-shop
(note: kawamura's shop, NOT his dad's)
...
it tasted better than what ryoma savoured last time
it was heard that kawamura used the arts of hadoukyuu into making sushi
two-handed hadoukyuu, so that it does not hurt his arm
and it has really made sushi taste better than ever
(those making sushi can try it out as well...LOL)
...
(MAKE YOU FREE chorus starts playing)
.
it cant be wrong
ryoma had a premonition that it would be a long converation
it could be him
no...it MUST be him
ryoma concluded
after seeing sakuno's different expression upon receiving the call
he could not describe it
the different in her
it was some sort of ... different
he could not think of any other word to describe her
he started to wonder about her 2years after he left
how did she spend her life?
who did she mix with?
what caused the ... difference ... in her?
he felt as though he was seeing a different sakuno
no longer shy in front of him
no longer focussing on him
no longer cared about him
it was weird
he did not like the change
all of a sudden he felt that the old sakuno was better
although annoying
although disturbing
although unbearable
but he preferred that sakuno to the current one
her looks werent much different
but it was as though
he was seeing a different person
...
"ryoma-ku...no...echizen-kun, are you okay?"
sakuno scolded herself silently
why did she say -kun?
it was meant to be echizen-san
but she could not say the words out
it felt too distant
and so she ended up with echizen-kun
...
she saw him staring into space
it was so unlike the ryoma-ku...echizen-kun she had known
old habits die hard
she was used to ryoma-kun
even though it was only for a mere one-year
it was etched in her mind
he was not those usual school-crush she had along the years
he was different
his world only revolved around tennis
it was this kind of difference in him that she was attracted to
yet it was this kind of difference in him that she hated
because his world revolved around tennis
she was attracted
because his world revolved around tennis
he never did notice her
because his world revolved around tennis
she was hurt
...
"im okay, ryuuzaki,"
he ommited the -san
instead, calling her without -chan makes it sound less-distant
like they have known each other for a long time
when it was not the case
it was not even considered friendship
he did not know how to describe their relationship
it was something, that words cant describe
it was different
...
...
here's the chapter of "difference"
it was quite fun to add in the elements of "difference" at the back
haha but then it you notice it is actually a very short chapter
the end of this chap doesnt sound so end-of-chap right?
haha
but i thought it would be fun, to end this chap with the element of difference being the main highlight
if i added more scenes it will cover the element of difference that i want to potray to you all ^__^
...
i hope everyone reading this likes this chapter, i thought it had some sort of meaning to it
not just, any random funny/not-funny chapter
but one with like...deeper meaning...and not just simply the plot and dialogue
so if you realise there werent many events happening
just drinking, puking and eating
(gosh im making puking sounds like part of our routine life eeeeeeewwwwwwwkkkkkkk !!!)
and more of ryoma/sakuno thing
...
anyways...
