A/N: I'm here again! Here is the new chapter. But before I'm apologizing! Ryoma is occ and I know it. I will try to make her more realistic. But her character wouldn't be exactly the same. I mean someone's surroundings manipulate someone's character. In the Anime/Manga, Ryoma is a boy. Rinko would have an affect on him. But not much. Yet, in this story Ryoma is a girl. Rinko would want her, to be girl alike. And with Syuusuke, Yumiko, Yoshiko, and Seiichi's influence, this would manipulate Ryoma's personality, others as in the Anime/Manga.
Disclaimer: I don't own PoT. If I would Ryoma wouldn't be so much occ.
Decision
"Ouch!" Yagyuu sighed, "it's your own fault. Where did you even get the injuries?" Ryoma pouted at this. "As if I wanted them. I fell the stairs down." Yagyuu narrowed his eyes."The stairs? I don't believe you. After all, some freshmen told me the truth." Oh, fuck. Ryoma cursed inwardly the poor freshmen. Well, at least her bro-"Ryo-chan!" Or not. She sighed. This was going to be long. Very long. Wich idiot contacted her brother? The door opened and Yanagi walked in. "That would be me." You bas- "Wait ... how did you?" 'Could it be that Renji-senpai can read w-' "No, I can't." "Che." "Ryo-chan, who did that?", her brother asked, with an angelic smile. "No one." "Ryoma." She gulped. This was bad. "I'm waiting." "Akutsu Jin from Yamabuki." Seiichi narrowed his eyes. "Yamabuki? That's our next opponent." The temperature fell some degrees. After a while he calmed down, Seiichi smiled again. "Akaya-kun, Marui-kun and Niou-kun, have you something to tell us?" Behind the door some noises could be heard. The door opened and the three came in. As they saw Ryoma and her wounds they twitched. They seemed like they hurt much. "Akaya-kun, please, get Genichirou and Jackal-kun."
They all sat in silence. After all, no one would dare to disturb their Buchou. He wasn't known, as the Child of God for nothing. They shuddered. And as a bonus, he seemed very angry. Okay, they could understand him. His sister was attacked by someone. And this someone was, unfortunately, a tennis player. Unfortunately, because he was a tennis player and that meant they would meet him sometime. Seiichi would meet him. Well, fuck, for that poor guy. But then again, the others were also not pleased, that the guy hurt Ryoma and the freshmen. But they could see him again, at their next match. "You all, heard, of the incident, with Akutsu Jin from Yamabuki." They nodded. Probably, the whole school knew it, be yet. "Yamabuki is our next opponent and we surely all agree, that something, as hurting one of our own is not acceptable." Some gulped. Their captain said the sentence, as could he kill someone. Well, he probably could. But we don't want to think, about something so depressing. "So, we need someone, that can face him, without losing his calm. Wh-" "I'm going, to face him." All starred, at the only girl, in their team. "B-but, Ryoma! You can't think right wh-" "I can." But Akaya didn't gave up and Niou and Marui decided to support him. Seiichi sighed. He really should have excepted this. After all, Ryoma was just as stubborn as him. "Okay." The three stopped protesting and starred at him. "B-but, Buchou!" "I'm also not happy about this decision, but I know that Ryoma wouldn't give up."" This helped to shut the three up. Akaya pouted. Ryoma was his best friend, he didn't want to see her hurt. But the logically part of him, knew his Buchou was right. Seiichi sighed again and turned himself, to the now smirking Ryoma. "But if I say that you schould forfeit, you are going to forfeit, understand." It wasn't a question. She nodded. She just wouldn't give him a reason, to think, that she needed to forfeit. "Okay, if I'm already here, I could as well look at your training", Seiichi smiled sadistically at them. Oh, they going to see hell. And it would be painful. "Maybe even help." Very painful.
After their training of hell, (That also reminded them why Yukimura the captain, of the team was.) they happily laid, on the ground, of the courts. Ryoma smirked again. It was a hell of training but it increased her stamina, speed and strength. Her brother was beside her, in his wheelchair. "Ne, Ryo-chan." She looked at him. "Would you mind, to spend the day, with me?" He really hoped she could. He wanted to catch up, the time, where she was in America. Actually, he wanted it, since she came back. But first as she broke, in front him, he could ask. Ryoma was not an person, that would cry, that easily. And that she would cry, in front him and for him, moved him, really. "Sure." It was only one word but it made him happy. They forgot, that most, of the regulars had a great hearing ability, because of their training. It was normal, that a silver-head grinned, as he heard that.
"Heh, Buchou and Ryoma going to spend the day together. I need to see this", Niou grinned. "I'm coming too", Akaya declared. "If I can eat some sweets, you can count me in." "We really shouldn't ... ", Jackal tried to say something, but was ignored. Yanagi smiled somehow creepy. "Data ..." All shivered. Yagyuu sighed. He knew Niou wouldn't give in. "You going to let them be!" Niou smirked, "you? You mean 'We', don't you?" Sanada paled. Somehow, he was scared.
After Ryoma changed in comfortable clothes, they decided to go to Tokyo. The regulars followed them, like some spies would. As they were there, Ryoma asked her brother, if he wanted to see something. So, they were in a park. People looked at them. It wasn't unmoral. I mean, Seiichi sat in a wheelchair and Ryoma had bandages on her. But both ignored it. Seiichi was used to it and Ryoma didn't care.
"They seem sure to attract attention, from others", Marui said. "They don't want that, probably", Yanagi pointed out. "But they look like they don't care." "Maybe they don't. But even if they do care, it must be annoying", Yagyuu explained. Sanada sighed. 'If something known as blackmail, would just not exist. Life would be much easier", the vice-captain of Rikkai thought. "Ah, they're going further!", Niou exclaimed.
"Hm, the flowers are beautiful." Ryoma looked, at the flowers and could see, what her brother meant. "Do you want some ice cream?" Ryoma didn't like spending money. But for her brother she would. "Ice cream would be nice." "What flavor do you want?" "Mint." She nodded and walked to the vendor she saw. Seiichi smiled sadistically.
"Letting the girl buy something?", Niou frowned. "What is wrong, with that?" "I don't need that to hear from you, Akaya. Ryoma pays for you, everytime." As the two augured about paying. Sanada, somehow felt, as if the temperature fell down. As he turned around, he saw something terrifying. Inui, with Inui juice? Wasabi sushi? Fuji Syuusuke? Nope, it was just Yukimura Seiichi, resident sadist. Well, fuck. "You need to learn, how to respect privacy, don't you?" "B-buchou ... " It seemed Akaya and Niou have noticed their Buchou. A bit behind them, was Ryoma standing and eating a caramel ice, while holding a mint ice, "... idiots."
After a "not so wonderful" talk, the group decided to eat something at a cafe. It did go well, until they met Akutsu. Ryoma tripped him. Well, something good needs to happen, once a time.
Yagyuu sighed. Their Buchou punished them, with 250 laps. They shouldn't have stalked them. Blackmail should really be forbidden. Ryoma smirked at them. They deserved it. And it was fun to see others in pain. "Tomorrow, is our match against Yamabuki." At that, the only girl in the team, narrowed her eyes. 'Akutsu Jin ... I'm coming!'
As the sun shined through the window, Seiichi thought about the day. He sighed as he remembered Ryoma's and his talk, on the train. It wasn't a nice talk but neither a bad.
Flashback
"Ryo-chan, is something wrong?" " ... Nothing." "We both know, I don't believe that." She ignored the sentence. Seiichi sighed. She refused to meet his eyes and he knew, it was something serious. "What is it, Ryoma." Said girl flinched, because her brother said her name and not nickname. He was serious and wouldn't let her go, until she said it. "I ... I don't know." Her brother blinked at this. 'She didn't know?' "I just have the thought, that something bad would happen." He looked at her and could see, how troubled she was. "It's going to be, somehow okay." "Maybe you're right." Both didn't believe, that it was going to be okay. They enjoyed the last silence before the train stopped.
Flashback end
Seiichi hoped, it would be okay. He really did.
Today was the day. They would have a match against Yamabuki. Ryoma was excited. She waited long enough. As she thought, about beating Akutsu, she didn't notice how a silver-head observed her.
Niou was excited. Today was their match against Yamabuki. Their first match, in the Kanto tournament! He glanced to his right and saw Ryoma. She smirked, probably, because she could have a match, with Akutsu, and her eyes flashed, dangerously, gold. Dangerously ... gold! Niou's eyes widened. He remembered what his Buchou told him, after Akaya's and Ryoma's first match.
Flashback
"Niou-kun." He turned around and saw his Buchou. "Is something, Buchou?" Niou wanted to change his clothes, as Yukimura Seiichi called him. "You have seen it, right?" "What?", Niou looked confused, at his captain. "As Ryoma played Akaya, her eyes." Niou's eyes widened. He remembered. Ryoma's eyes were gold. He nodded. "Since you, besides Renji, are the most observing member, of the club, you probably noticed, that Ryoma's style changed, a bit." Niou nodded again. It was so slightly, that just he, maybe also Yanagi, could have seen it. "It was Ryoma's true style." Noiu's eyes were again wide. "But ... her style it ... it ..." "I know, it was unstable." The captain sighed, "her style, would be one of the most trickiest styles. Like yours. But with her unstable personality, it's just dangerous." "Unstable personality?" "The golden eyes, are her true personality. But if the gold just flashes it means that her personality, with that also her style, is unstable." "So ... her eyes are a mirror, to the stability, of her personality?" "Yes." Niou saved the information. This wasn't something, you heard everyday. "You see, I knew you would notice, so I came, to ask you for a favor." Oh, this was unexpected. "Please, keep an eye on her, regarding all matters, with the golden eyes, could you?" "Yes."
"Thank you."
Flashback end
He was going to do, as told. So, he keeped on observing her.
Sanada sighed. He was not sure, if it was the right decision, to let Ryoma play against Akutsu. Seiichi probably thought about it. Well, he would see soon, why Seiichi decided to let her. Sanada just hoped, it would turn out okay.
Marui grinned and Jackal smiled. Their match was announced.
