A/N: I am angered that I am the only one besides Mai+EvilYuki who likes Ryouma/Taichi pairings. In that case, I'll shove it down your throats by writing tons of them. You'll see, I will, until you can't help but run into them, evry-time-you-look!!! Alright, I think I should start this fic now.

(The absense of Ryouma/Taichi ppl remind me of that of Hijiri in Yami no Matsuei...)

Warning: This fic contains yaoi.

Ryouma walked down the street toward the park, the meeting place, where'd he find his supposed "date."

He held an unopened ponta in his hand, a bag in the next. No doubt the bag carried his tennis supplies.

Fuji was the one behind all of this, and that Eiji only fueled his crazy idea for finding Ryouma his "ideal girlfriend." Considering Fuji and Eiji had chosen the gal, this was most likely going to be a tiresome day, probably trouble, too.

"Ah, Echizen." Came Fuji's cheerful voice.

"Ohaiyo." He answered plaintively.

"Hoi! Ochibi! You're going to have fun, nyah!" Eiji bounced, glomping onto Ryouma, then bouncing back to Fuji, glomping onto him now, why, no one knew. Maybe because they have been a couple for a few days now. A strange pair...

"Your date." Fuji announced, stepping aside to reveal a person about Ryouma's height. "Her name is Chiharu-chan."

Ryouma seemed not to be interested in the least, but he noticed a lot about her.

She had short black hair, that looked a little blue in the sunlight. She wore a short, blue jean pants, and a white speghetti strapped shirt. Actually, she was quite flat-chested, a green bow on her head, and sandals. She had the most familiar teal eyes, and he wondered where he had seen them.

"Ochibi, don't be so rude! Didn't you bring sonething for her?"

"Ah, hai...," Ryouma handed her the ponta. Though, he really didn't know he was supposed to bring her something, he was planning on drinking that ponta!

"Chiharu" shyly accepted the juice, "A-arigatou....de-" Eiji patted her back loudly, causing her to choke on finishing her sentence.

"Ne, have fun." Fuji smiled, pulling the exited Eiji along, who made a hushing motion with his mouth, and Chiharu nodded.

Echizen tilted his head to the side. What was that? Well, Kikumaru had prevented her from saying something. Ah well.

She blushed terribly and looked down at the ground, "H-hi, E-Ryouma-kun...! I-I.... Uh..." She stuttered and searched frantically for words to say.

"Let's get this over with." Ryouma began walking in the opposite direction the senpais had left by.

"H-hai!"

Chiharu scurried after him. Something about this person was strangely familiar. Her voice was very quiet and sqeaky. Almost like it wasn't her real voice...-

"Ah! Ryouma-kun, w-where are we going?"

"Hn." He looked toward their left, and Chiharu's eyes followed.

"T-tennis courts?!"

"Hai."

She looked a little nervous now, oh well, that didn't mean he was going to go easy on her. He went easy on no one.

Ryouma walked out onto the courts, getting the rackets and such out of his bag.

Well, tennis was a good idea for a date, as long as the girl is not wearing a dress, that is! ^^

"I'm going to use the bathroom, be right back." Said Chiharu in her sqeaky, little voice. She went over to the public bathrooms, which was nearby, and was about to enter the men's room. "Ne, aren't you going in *that* way?" Echizen pointed towards the lady's room.

Blushing, Chiharu hesistated, "Uh-um... Yes, I know, de-uh..! Hehehe..." She nervously, slowly disappeared into the lady's room. Leaving Ryouma to wonder if she wasn't paying attention or if she's just stupid.

*

Was she about to say, "desu?"

*

Inside the women's bathroom, Chiharu looked around. No one else was in there. Good, she looked at herself in the mirror.

'It's a good thing a have a slightly more feminine build, or else he wouldn't have fallen for this...' Taichi thought, looking around nervously, 'I've never been in a girls' bathroom before, desu!'

"So, you're Echizen-kun's date, ne?" Came a sly voice from behind him, followed by a pat on the back.

Taichi looked surprised and spun around to see Ann, he hadn't really met her before, but he knew who she was, "How'd you-!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell him!" She winked and took a seat on the sink counter in front of the large mirror. "You could really pass off as a girl. Oh, and Fuji-senpai told me about it. He didn't tell anyone else, I don't think."

The "girl impersonator" sighed with relief.

Ann eyed him amusedly, "You'd better hurry up. You're making Echizen wait too long."

"O-Oh! Arigatou, desu!" He was a bit surprised when she fixed his bow and waved him off.

"Good-luck, Chiharu-chan!" She called.

Taichi, or better yet, Chiharu, blushed a deep shade of red as she approached Ryouma, who looked a little annoyed and impatient from the wait. He watched her every movement with those shady, glaring eyes, which sort have sent shivers up her spine and made her feel nervous. It was those two Seigaku regulars that had conned Taichi into doing this. "The only way to learn more about your "goal" is to get closer to him!" is what he remembered most out of their little conversation from a day or so earlier.

Ryouma handed her a racket, it was surprisingly light, Chiharu also noticed that Ryouma held his racket in his right hand, was that guy going to use a twist serve on her?!

"Ne, have you ever played tennis?"

The question was a little sudden, and interupted Chiharu's thoughts. "H-hai. A little."

"Hn." He walked over to one side of the court, and she the other. It was Ryouma's time to serve. He threw the ball into the air, and slapped it across the net.

As expected, the ball span as it bounced, and zoomed straight toward Chiharu's face, but she returned it, with another twist serve! This surprised Echizen, and lost a point. But that would not happen again, of course. Chiharu looked amazed and pleased with herself.

But... Wasn't there someone who had copied his twist serve before? Hm...

"Mada mada dane..." He muttered under his breath, before giving another twist serve, got a twist serve in return, and he decided to see what she could really do, by lobbing the ball.

The ball flew high in the air, Chiharu began running to the net. Ryouma looked on in surprise as she slid on the ground, then jumped up and hit the ball over the net, it formed a "B."

"Drive B." He said softly to himself. He had allowed that girl to receive another point. Chiharu was looking quite triumphant at the moment, he'd fix that...

*

6 minutes later.

*

Chiharu remained on the bench, drenched in sweat and gasping for air. Those two points were the only points she could manage, after that he simply blew her away!

Ryouma was staring at her, a somewhat interested, yet annoyed expression crossing his features. How did she know how to use the Twist Serve, AND Drive B? This girl was a real puzzle, and he wanted to put the pieces together before this "date" ended.

The "girl" on the bench was still panting and breathing heavily.

'That guy hasn't changed at all since I last played him...' Taichi thought tiredly.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" She finally managed to say.

Ryouma shrugged. Heck, neither of them didn't know what else to do on this "date." Weeell... They could always go to Ryouma's house.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Echizen." Came a familiar voice from behind them. They looked up to see Momoshiro.

"Momo-chan-senpai." Was all Ryouma said.

Momo smiled, but couldn't help but noticed the chick on the bench. "Hoi! Echizen! Is that your girlfriend?!" Chiharu blushed like mad, "Aaah! You're so lucky, she's cute!"

Ann, who was not too far off, could hardly contain her laughter.

Echizen tilted his hat over his eyes in embarrasement, a slight shade of pink involunteerily rising. Chiharu looked over and him, and did not fail to notice this. 'I-is he b-blushing??!'

*

"Ne, Fuji, how do you think Ochibi likes his date?"

Eiji and Fuji were in Fuji's room, on the bed reading manga. Well, Fuji reading manga, and Eiji constantly babbling, not able to focus on anything with pages.

"Sa... I wonder." Came the response.

A/N: Whee! This turned out longer than I had expected! I could never write like, a 2000 word chapter like some people do! .
