DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT PRINCE OF TENNIS

"Runners of the 100m finals get ready." The announcer's voice called. Shika tightened her ponytail, she'd grown her hair so she could tie into a small ponytail.

She was living her dream of becoming a professional runner, she was currently at the Olympics, that's right the Olympics competing in the 100m finals. It was her big chance to make her country proud.

Usually she'd be really, really excited and jittery but she had a depressed aura around her. "What's wrong?" Katy John, one of America's long distance runners asked her. "My boyfriend called up to tell me most probably he won't be able to make it to watch the 100m finals." She said dejectedly.

"You poor thing, but just try your best and make your boyfriend proud even if he is somewhere else in the world." She advised.

"That's what I'm going to do." Shika said determinedly "Thank you John-san."

Shika gave a sigh, it was deeper than what most people thought, Kenya wasn't able to see any of her races live up till now because he was a doctor and with a lot of injured people coming to you daily it's kinda hard to escape.

But he'd promised he'd come to watch her finals and she and really wanted to show Kenya how much she had improved since that day. After they got together Kenya had refused to race her saying he wouldn't be able to take it if he won and in some mood swing she went away. Shika had told him no way would she go but Kenya had still refused.

"Runners of the 100m finals , move to your positions." The announcer said. Shika quickly went to her designated position and got in position. She glanced to Li Yelan, her biggest rival in the race.

The said female gave her smirk which clearly said 'I am so going to beat you, why try'. This only made Shika even more determined.

She glanced towards the audience where Sayuri, Ishida-san , her family most of the tennis regulars were seated.

"On your mark, get set, GO!"

Shika shot off like a bullet. Unfortunately for her Li was a faster bullet, she tried to overtake her but the depression of Kenya not being there weighed her down. In desperation she glanced towards the entrance and was shocked to see Kenya coming in, he caught her eye and gave her an encouraging grin.

Now Li was nearing the finish line. Shika grinned 'No way No how am I going to come second when Kenya's watching.' She thought. She gave her final burst of speed and crossed the finish a millisecond before Li.

"First place Nakamura Shika of Japan." She heard the announcer say. She went to stand on the pedestal. A man came with her hard-earned gold medal; suddenly it was snatched away from him.

"Kenya." Shika gasped.

Kenya had gotten past the guards and was now putting the medal on her. Seeing the guards near him he quickly asked her "Are we on international television?" Shika nodded. "Good" Kenya said "I've always wanted to do this on international television." He kneeled down and grabbed a ring from his pocket "Nakamura Shika, will you marry me?" he proposed.

Shika's jaw dropped, her boyfriend was proposing to her on international television "Yes!" she squealed and jumped down hugging Kenya. The crowd clapped and cheered "Kiss." Sayuri screamed and before they could realize what was happening the whole crowd was chanting "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss." Shika blushed. Kenya gave her a quick grin "We have to fulfil the crowd's wishes." He said and captured her lips in a sweet kiss.

'I wonder if he still remembers we're on international television.' She thought. She mentally shrugged and kissed him back.
