"Now, shall we have our match here?" Saika pointed at the ground, a smirk placed on her face. "Hn." Was Ryoma can say as he went over for his bag (it's because he left his bag at Tezuka's classroom). He came back with his bag on. He placed it on the ground and took out a sharp object. All were wide-eyed, "H-huh?!" Sakuno gasped as the object shined under the sun.

"W-what?! I-I never thought Echizen c-could bring such a sharp object in his tennis bag." Oishi said as he covered his mouth (mother-hen-be-used-to-it :3). Ryoma, who is holding a katana, pointed it at the red-haired girl, "I have no interest in swordplay, though. But, I was born to be a samurai." he smirked as he said this. Again, he got them wide-eyed, "E-Echizen . .you're a samurai?" Taka asked with a confused face, "Haven't you heard?" Tezuka asked the regulars, as Ryoma and Saika went to their places for a one-on-one sword match, "Echizen is called the Samurai Junior since he's the son of the former samurai. Which is no other than Nanjiro Echizen." Tezuka continued. All of them looked at him for awhile then to the two, who were now started.

Saika was charging towards him, which is a common way for a soldier or even an army like her, to do. But, she didn't know, that this is an idiotic way for the samurais. He smirked and, as Saika already went to him, Ryoma jumped on her just in time Saika charged a royal sword at him. Ryoma got on his feet and turned to her, he raised his katana and almost hit her. . .and near to DEATH. "W-what?! Oi, shounen! Watch out for that! You almost got me killed!" Saika shot a glare at him.

Ryoma tilted his head down, and slightly chuckled. He looked at her and smirked, "Well, that's what samurais do. Wait before that opponent charges and attack the main. That is, of course, a selfish act for us samurais." he said, then prepared his offensive attack. He charged the sword to her, but Saika dodged it. She kicked Ryoma, which left Ryoma to fell on the grassy ground, "I think this'll end your cockiness." she smirked, an evil one. Feeling like she already won, Ryoma snarled at her and defended using his katana.

"Wow, I didn't know Echizen could be this knowledgeable about sword plays." Fuji commented, Tezuka nodded, "Yes, not only he knew tennis, but for being a samurai too. No wonder his instincts are really unpredictable. Except for Inui." he said as he looked at Inui, who was writing something again.

Sakuno watched the two of them battling, she couldn't take it anymore. But she has to watch it, because it's the proper way a princess would be. If not, that isn't a proper princess at all. Ryoma stood up then prepared another defense mode. Saika took her chance as she again, charged at him. As the two of them clashed, it looked like everything was white. Ryoma was hit! But only in his right upper arm. The cut he has was bleeding. Ryoma supported his cut by holding his arm.

Everyone of them were shocked to see this. "RYOMA!" All of them shouted, then came running to him, but was stopped by him (Ryoma), "Don't come!" he shouted. The regulars quickly followed his order without thinking any other. Sakuno almost burst into tears, as she was sobbing internally. Ryoma just shrugged the pain off and continued in his battle.

"Come." He said. Saika grinned and charged again to him. 'Being cocky and arrogant won't take you to winning.' she thought. "Hn." Was Ryoma can say, as if he was reading her mind.

CRASH

All were wide-eyed at the sight of Saika. .. Saika's sword. .. was been crashed! Her sword fell to the floor as the pieces were scattering. Saika stared at it in horror of what the boy, no, the 'Prince' did to her royal sword. "Ne," Ryoma called out. After hearing this, Saika turned to him, wearing her mixed-emotions-face, "WHAT?!" she yelled, "mada mada dane." he smirked as he said this.

Saika glared at him more, "Che!" Sakuno went to her with a worried face pasted on her face, "Saika-san, onegai, don't be so mad about this. It's just a one-on-one match. You're not even fighting against an enemy yet you're really angry." she said as she patted her bodyguard on the shoulder. "Princess. .. I'm sorry. I let you down." Saika bowed her head in front of Sakuno. She (Sakuno) smiled and shook her head, "Now. Please take a rest. You did a good job, though." she commented.

"Arigatou, Ohime-sama." Saika beamed as she said this, then went to the bench and sat. Sakuno turned to her left and saw the regulars, comforting like mothers to Ryoma. Ryoma 'tch-ed' then saw Sakuno, who was also looking at him, with a smile plastered on her red-cheeked face. Ryoma blinked and looked away, as if he was blushing. But still, he just put that expressionless face on him.

After 3 minutes. . .

"Alright," Saika called them. All eyes were on her. "What? You want another round?" Ryoma asked her, glare-staring at her. Saika chuckled, "No, no. Prince, all of you, Princess' parents are calling on her. I also told them that we already found her prince, and they're quite excited to see you, shounen." she said. Sakuno's eyes widened, "Y-you told them?!" she raised her voice, almost becoming squeeky (dunno how to spell that, gomen. ^_^'').

As they were excused to be out early, a limo was going to them. Saika waved at it and the limo stopped by them. Saika opened the backseat door and bowed before she said, "Princess, prince." Sakuno blushed violently as she heard this, "A-ano. . .Saika-san." "Don't worry, princess. I'll be on your side, too. In case this 'prince' here might do something to you." Saika grinned at Sakuno, who blushed again as she heard this. Ryoma, who also heard this, glared at her and let out a "Che."

So so sorry about the OOCness. .. if there are any. I can't really tell if there is one /shot.
