"I thought I told you to protect your eyes. It's a good thing that the first aid could hold your blood from flowing for ten minutes. Or else you would have to forfeit the match." Ryoma just kept silence. The doctor is treating his injured left eye while Setsuna is keeping him company.
"Seriously, your fortune telling skills are major creepy. I would love to if you're not telling me any of my fortune anymore." Ryoma answered.
"Okay, that would do it. It'll heal in a few days. Be careful next time." The doctor said.
"You must have been in a lot of pressure during the match. Well, who would have not when you're facing someone that could numbed your hand. Well whatever it is, congratulation on winning the city tournament. You will face even harder opponents after this." Setsuna said.
Earlier that day, Ryoma and his team have manage to reach the finals for the city tournament. Their opponent is a high school called Fudomine. Ryoma had been in the single two position and his opponent is someone named Ibu Shinji. During the game, Ryoma injured his left eye and it's quite serious since the blood won't stop flowing. However, Fuji treated him with the first aid and made the blood stopped for a while. Using those opportunity, Ryoma increase his seriousness and defeat him in a shot.

Setsuna stared at the poison-pen letter that she found in her shoe locker this morning. 'Mess with us, you gonna get it. Stay away from Echizen Ryoma. If this warning is ignored, be ready for a miserable life.' That's what the letter said. Setsuna investigate a small fortune on the letter. After a while she grinned.

Setsuna's 'miserable' life has been going for almost a week. Mice in her school bags, frogs in her shoe locker, and snake underneath her desk. Other than that, she's been showered with raw eggs, someone push her in the muds, steal her homework... oh yeah, somebody place glue on her chair, making her couldn't move and there's a litten fire cracker in the drawer of her desk and it goes...KABOOM!
Setsuna chuckled while thinking of what happend during this week. An experience that she never experience before. 'However mr. Sadistic, I only let my guard down to know what kind of suprise that I'll get. Now it's time for payback.'

"Ah, the training is finally over. I do not like the scouts to bother us like this again. So annoying. What's better, there'll be no school tomorrow." Kihei said while walking towards the changing room along with Ryoma.
When they arrive, the other regulars were there to.
"Ah, senpai-tachi, otsukare." Kihei said.
"Nee, Echizen, wanna hang out at the street tennis tomorrow?" Kihei asked Ryoma.
"Sorry, I already have some other plans for tomorrow." Ryoma answered.
"Oh, really. What're you doing, if you don't mind telling me." Kihei asked.
"Well, it's not like it's actually a big deal anyway. Setsuna asked me out." Ryoma answered.
Without the two boys relising, Tezuka, Fuji, Atobe, Sanada and Yukimura froze by Ryoma's statement. Blood veins appear around them, followed by dark auras.
"Oh, a date?" Kihei asked.
"Whatever you're thinking of." Ryoma answered feeling annoyed by that question.
Then Ryoma left after he got change.
Kihei relise that the atmosphere around his five seniors suddenly change. Since he couldn't bear with it, he left as fast as he can. When he was sure that he is far enough, he took out his cellphone and dialed a number. After a few minutes,
"Moshi moshi, Hanamoto-san, I've did what you asked me to and I don't like it that's for sure."

"Syu, it seems that your threat and your action doesn't work on her." Yukimura said.
"I have to admit that your way of threatening her is bizzarre but she remain calm, like nothing happend." Yukimura continued.
"However, ore-sama doesn't like the sound about their date tomorrow. Ore-sama will watch each of their action." Atobe said.
"You're saying that we are spying on them?" Sanada said.
"Sound interesting. I wanna join." Yukimura said.
"I'll be happy to ruined their date." Fuji said.
"Then it's decided, all of us are going to watch over him tomorrow." Atobe said.

"Oujamashimasu." Setsuna said as she entered the Echizen resident.
"Well, looks like the witch of New York is here." A voice suddenly could be heard.
"Ara, Ryoga-san. It has been a while since the last time I see you." Setsuna said with creepy smile.
Ryoga gulped. "So, Miss Pretty Scary Witch, what brings you here?" He asked while bitting an orange.
"Ryoma and I are going for a stroll in the city today." Setsuna answered and that made Ryoga choked and cough a few times.
"You two are dating?" Ryoga asked.
"No, we just gonna take a stroll around the city. You wanna come along?" Setsuna ask.
"No thanks. I got a date today." Ryoga answered.
"You haven't change." Setsuna said.
A few while later, Ryoma came down.
"Wow, you sure looks handsome today." Setsuna said as she looked at Ryoma. What he was wearing is casual but he might catches some attention.
"Are you sure you're not dating?" Ryoga asked suspiciously.
"We're not baka aniki. Let's go Setsuna. We don't want to miss the train." Ryoma said.
Without Ryoma noticing, Setsuna bring out her phone and she text something. After that, she put away her phone. And grinned.
-x-
"How are we suppost to find them?"
"They probably will go by the train."
"Then lets check the train station."
And they went to the train station.
"Ah, there they are!" Fuji said.
And they saw Setsuna and Ryoma. Their mouth were gawk open. Ryoma looked really handsome and Setsuna is eyecatching as well. The couple somehow manage to get the attention of the people there.
"Wow, they look good together."
"Both the boy and the girl are good looking."
"I'm so jealous."
That was the comment from the people around them.
"Hmph, no matter how beautiful are they, they could never beat ore-sama. Well then, the four of you, lets continue to watch over them."
Meanwhile,
Kihei is hiding to watch over the five men. He also saw it when the couple arrive. He couldn't help but blush when he see her. 'Setsuna is really cute today. I'm jealous of Echizen even though they are not dating.'
As the couple went away, the five men kept following them, while Kihei watch over the five men without them relising.
