Three days later. School was over. Sakuno stayed and watched some of the Regulars practice and then Tomoka decided to walk with her home.

"So… I heard you visited Ryoma-sama in the hospital about three days ago right?" Tomoka asked her.

Sakuno flinched. "I-I… where did you here that?" Sakuno stuttered.

Tomoka laughed. "You're kidding right? The whole Seigaku team knows about it!"

Sakuno sighed. 'Are you serious'

"Tachibana-san thinks it's cute! If you a Ryoma-sama hook up then our fan club will rise to the fulliest!" Tomoka exclaimed.

"NANI?!" Sakuno screeched. "M-Me… and R-Ryoma-kun?"

"You know Sakuno… you always stutter when we talk about Ryoma-sama, but when he's right in your face you act like you hate him," Tomoka scowled. "It's gonna make you lose your chances you know."

Sakuno looked down sadly and sighed. "Even if I did like Ryoma-kun you know he already has a crush…" she said.

"Oh that's right…" Tomoka remembered. "Well that sucks…"

"But that was if I liked Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno perked up again. "Like that would ever happen though!" Sakuno laughed nervously.

Tomoka looked at her laughing friend sensitively.

'Denial is so last season Sakuno…'

Meanwhile in the bushes…

"Way to go Osakada-chan!" Eiji chanted. (it's osakada right? Tomo's last name?)

"I must admit Eiji-senpai… I didn't think you would get them both to admit it," Momo told him.

"Momo… don't deny the power of your senpai," Eiji told him scurring out of the bushes.

"I did not deny your power!" Momo protested following Eiji.

"Also…" Tomoka said. "I'm not gonna be at tennis practice tomorrow."

"Nani? Who will be my partner for practice?" Sakuno asked her.

Tomoka shrugged. "I heard that the Seigaku Regulars usually participate if a member from a tennis team is absent from either the boys or girls club."

"You mean I may have to play with a Regular?!" Sakuno said shocked.

"Too bad Ryoma-sama isn't out of the hospital yet," Tomoka said sadly.

Sakuno looked up at the sky. "Yeah…" Sakuno said trying to sound said.

'THANK YOU KAMI-SAMA!' she cheered loudly in her head. (Kami-sama Japanese God)

"Echizen-kun… here's all your supplies. Luckily you'll be able to attend school tomorrow…" the nurse said smiling warmly.

"Sankyuu," he thanked her.

He took his stuff from her and signed his name on a piece of paper and left the door.

"Ryoma!" his dad chanted.

"Nani?" Ryoma said taking off his shoes on his bed.

"Your okay to play tennis tomorrow right?" his dad asked.

"Hai?" Ryoma answered questionably.

Nanjirou smiled.

"Great! You will be helping out a young girl tomorrow for the girls tennis team. It will help you regain your tennis skills before over using them," his dad said smiling.

"Nanda?" Ryoma asked.

Nanijou's face sank. "You questioning boy? Now just do as I say and help out the pretty little girl…" he said exiting Ryoma's room and closing the door.

Ryoma groaned and lied down on his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and imagined a picture of Sakuno on the ceiling.

"Mada Mada Dane," the image said. Then it vanished.

Ryoma smirked and turned towards his side.

"Now wouldn't that be interesting?" he thought out loud. Smirking at every word.
