For all RyoSaku fans.
Thanks to those who leave reviews.
I had a hard time grouping the characters up. Ok, I will only focus on group 7, which has Ryoma and some others.
Warning: Out of character, but I will try.
Note: I don't own Prince of Tennis, but I wish I did...
The camping day arrived.
"How exciting!" Momoshiro said excitedly as he put his sports bag down.
"What is so exciting about this?" Ryoma yawned aloud.
Momoshiro looked at Ryoma and grinned. He had managed to psycho the Tennis club regulars into coming to the camping trip. Ryoma was the hardest to psycho.
"Are you sure we get to play tennis here? I don't see any tennis court here," Ryoma asked.
"Quit complaining! We are here to have fun." Momoshiro said.
"Ochibi is right, Momo. I am afraid we don't get to play any tennis." Kikumaru said worriedly.
"Hmmm... Don't worry; let's just have fun. Right Taka san?" Fuji said.
Kawamura scratched his head, looking worried.
"Here, Taka san." Fuji passed his tennis racket to Kawamura.
"Ummm... Fuji..." Kawamura said and grabbed the racket.
"BURNING!!! LET'S HAVE FUN HERE OR YOU CAN PACK YOUR BAGS AND GO HOME! SAYONARA!" Kawamura yelled loudly.
Most students turned to look at the Kawamura. Some students laughed hysterically at the sight of him shouting while holding a tennis racket high in the air.
"Taka san... how embarrassing." Kikumaru said.
"EMBARASSING? YES, YOU ARE EMBARASSING ALL OF US, EIJI. HAHAHA..." Kawamura pointed his racket to Kikumaru with a smug face.
"That's enough, Taka san." Fuji said and took his racket away.
Kawamura slowly snapped out of his "burning" mode. He sighed.
"Fun...? Fuji senpai actually called this fun?" Ryoma asked ridiculously.
Fuji turned to Ryoma and smiled at him.
"What kind of fun is Fuji talking about, nyah?" Kikumaru asked.
"Ah... Fuji senpai! Hentai!" Momoshiro shouted.
As expected, Fuji knew Momoshiro always thinks differently from others. He must be thinking about girls and guys type of "fun".
"Momo always thinks differently." Fuji said, smiling happily.
"Ah... Ryoma sama!" A voice shouted from behind.
All five boys turned around. Tomoka came running towards them, followed by Horio, Kachirou, Katsuo and Sakuno.
"Ryoma sama only huh? Are we invisible nyah?" Kikumaru joked.
"Morning to all senpais." The five of them said in unison.
"Everyone is so early today." Oishi said as he came up to them with Kaidoh and Inui.
"Hmm... Interesting data. Everyone is looking forward to this camp." Inui said. He straightened his glasses and quickly scribbled in his notebook.
"This camping trip better be good, Momo." Kikumaru said.
"Since it's Momoshiro's idea, it might bad." Kaidoh said and hissed.
"Hey, you got a problem with that Mamushi?" Momoshiro shouted.
Kaidoh replied with a hiss.
"I heard it's good. According to my data, none of us have attended this camping trip except for Momo and Tezuka who went last year." Inui said without looking up from his book.
"Yeah, we get to play many other games and sports. So let's just enjoy ourselves ok?" Momoshiro asked.
Momoshiro's question was answered with a few yes and sighed.
Pweet...!
"Can everyone please assemble here? Please keep quiet while I call out names. Please sit according to your groups." Ryuzaki sensei blasted from a loudspeaker.
"Obasan is in charge? That means there must be tennis matches in this camp!" Kikumaru exclaimed.
"Kikumaru! You got something to say?" Ryuzaki sensei shouted.
A few students laughed. Kikumaru blushed and pretended to read the camping rules sheet.
Everyone waited for their name to be called out.
"Group 5. First year, Kachirou, Katsuo and Ishimaru. Second year, Rikawa and Kumiko. Third year, Oishi, Inui and Safura."
"Group 6. First year, Horio, Hamano and Ibuki. Second year, Kaidoh, Arai and Akimoto. Third year, Misaki and Kawamura."
"Group 7. First year, Echizen, Ryuzaki and Osakada. Second year, Yagami, Momoshiro and Sakagi. Third year, Kikumaru and Fuji."
Half an hour passed and everyone was seated in their groups. The sensei in charge gave the students a short briefing.
"This Yagami girl is not bad looking." Momoshiro whispered to Kikumaru.
"I heard that, Momoshiro!" Yagami glared at Momoshiro.
"Momo, you got a new target? What happened to An?" Kikumaru asked.
"An? I am not dating her." Momoshiro said, embarrassed.
"Haha. Liar! I heard a lot of rumours about the both of you, nyah" Kikumaru stuck out his tongue at Momoshiro.
"Sssh..." Fuji said.
"Fuji, you can't ssshhh me! Kikumaru senpai is bullying me!" Momoshiro practically shouted.
"How embarrassing. Our group seems to be the noisiest here." Yagami said to Sakagi.
"Yeah, can't they just keep quiet like the chibi there?" Sakagi said and pointed to Ryoma.
"Ochibi, say something! Momo keeps on lying about his love for An..." Kikumaru said loudly and pulled Ryoma's arm.
"Kikumaru senpai..." Ryoma said, pushing Kikumaru away.
Yagami and Sakagi watched as the four boys argued.
"Pathetic group. I guess the chibi is one of them too." Sakagi commented.
"Hey, who are you calling chibi?" Tomoka asked.
"Tomo chan..." Sakuno said.
"Ah? I forgot our other team members are chibi too. At least they are not as noisy as the boys." Sakagi said.
Tomoka pointed a finger to Sakagi.
"You called Ryoma sama a chibi?" Tomoka asked angrily.
"Hmmm? You should be worried we called you chibi. Don't tell me you like that chibi boy?" Yagami asked.
"She did call him Ryoma sama." Sakagi added. Both girls laughed hysterically.
"Group 7! Can you please quiet down a bit? Please don't get so excited!" Ryuzaki sensei shouted.
The group silenced down.
"This must be a bad idea." Sakuno said softly to herself.
"I agreed." Ryoma replied.
Sakuno turned to look at Ryoma. He was closing his eyes, looking bored.
He actually listened to me? Sakuno was surprised.
"Ryoma kun, what makes you come for this trip?" Sakuno asked.
Ryoma opened his eyes and looked at her. He shrugged.
"I had no..."
"Ochibi, you are flirting with a girl already?" Kikumaru cut off Ryoma's words.
Ryoma frowned. He wondered why his senpais always interrupt his conversation with Sakuno.
No wonder I can never get to know her. People are always interrupting our conversations. Ryoma thought angrily.
"Haha... so the seniors did call him Ochibi? How amusing." Sakagi said loudly.
"Hey you..." Tomoka shouted.
"What's the difference? We called him chibi but the senior called him Ochibi. Why are you angry with us?" Yagami said with laughter.
"They may look pretty but their attitude is the worst." Momoshiro said to Fuji.
"Agreed. Kinda remind me of wicked witches." Fuji added with his eyes opened.
Both girls turned to Fuji to shout at him but they remained silent. They were attracted by Fuji's charms. Afterall, Fuji is the best looking boy in their group.
"Please remember to take a paper from the box before you go to your assigned rooms. No peeking at each other's paper. Inside the paper will have your mortal's name. Remember to write for your mortal at least once a day. You may go now." Ryuzaki sensei said.
"Ahh... how lame! I better get a pretty babe for my mortal." Momoshiro said.
They queued for their turn to dip in for a paper. Each of them took a paper and walked off to their assigned room.
----------------------
The four boys entered the room they were assigned to. The room was shared with other boys from group 8 to 12.
Momoshiro put his bag down and unpacked his item.
"I take the above bed, Momo." Kikumaru said and threw his bag on his bed.
"Let's see which lucky girl I get." Momoshiro said excitedly and quickly unfold his paper.
"Kawazoe Kyo. A boy?" Momoshiro shouted.
"Haha, unlucky nyah! Look who I got," Kikumaru opened up his paper for Momoshiro to see.
Momoshiro snatched the paper from Kikumaru and stared in disbelief.
"Unfair! You got Misaki Kumiko. That girl is a real babe!" Momoshiro said with jealousy.
"Hmm, interesting. Ne, Echizen. Can I have the top bed?" Fuji asked Ryoma.
Ryoma nodded without looking up at his senpai. He was digging his bag for his mortal's gift.
"It's not here. I am sure I put it in before I left." Ryoma mumbled to himself.
Ryoma sighed. He had a bad feeling that he had forgotten to bring the gift. He stopped digging and looked at the gift he bought for Sakuno instead.
I paid good money for this. I can't use this as the present for my mortal. Ryoma thought sadly.
Ryoma sighed. He sat on his bed and started to think. Ryoma knew he had to use that gift since he was left with no choice.
"Damn, why must we play this darn game?" Ryoma said.
"Echizen, you said something?" Fuji asked and sat next to Ryoma.
Ryoma closed his eyes and ignored his senpai. Fuji smiled.
"Look who I got for my mortal." Fuji showed Ryoma his paper.
Ryoma opened an eye and look.
"Yagami Yuki? That witch?" Ryoma said.
Fuji smiled. Momoshiro and Kikumaru quickly turned and peeped over at the paper Fuji was holding.
"It's really the witch!" Kikumaru said.
"Ahhh... at least Fuji senpai got a girl!" Momoshiro said. He still can't accept the fact that he got a boy instead of a girl.
"We are allowed to exchange papers right? The sensei won't know." Kikumaru said.
"Actually we are not supposed to show who we got." Fuji said.
"By the way, who did Echizen get?" Momoshiro asked.
"I don't even want to know." Ryoma said. He is still angry that he had to give Sakuno's gift to someone else.
"Then let me read out for you." Momoshiro said as he grabbed the paper on Ryoma's bag.
Momoshiro opened. Kikumaru and Fuji peeped over.
"Aaarghh... This damn Echizen is always so lucky!" Momoshiro screamed. He felt like tearing the paper.
"What is the fuss about? The person is still a mada mada dane." Ryoma said.
"Ochibi, don't you want to know who is it?" Kikumaru grinned.
Ryoma looked at his senpais. All three of them have a silly grin on their faces.
"I don't care. Not like I will even bother to write a letter." Ryoma said coldly.
"Here. At least take a look." Momoshiro showed the paper to Ryoma.
"Iya da!" Ryoma closed his eyes and pretended to yawn.
"Ochibi, you got your girlfriend for your mortal." Kikumaru said.
"What girlfriend?" Ryoma asked and looked at him.
"Let me read for you." Fuji said and took the paper from Momoshiro.
"Ryuzaki Sakuno." Fuji read.
Ryoma stared at them in disbelief.
"What? Let me see!" Ryoma snatched the paper from Fuji and looked.
Ryuzaki Sakuno. It's really her name. Ryoma was speechless. He was both happy and surprised.
Yes! At least I can give her the present. Ryoma blushed at the thought of him giving her the present. How will she react to it?
Momoshiro looked at Ryoma who was blushing. Ryoma was still staring at the piece of paper.
He seems happy. Let me tease him a bit. Momoshiro thought with amusement.
"Ah, Echizen. We know how much you hate girls. Want to exchange papers with me? Let me write lovely letters for her. I won't want to see the poor girl suffering with your lame excuse for not writing to her." Momoshiro said.
"Why must I exchange papers with you?" Ryoma looked up at Momoshiro.
"Come on. Don't tell me you like her and want to keep her for yourself?" Momoshiro said.
Ryoma frowned. He knew Momoshiro was teasing him. He hates it when people tease him. Ryoma decided to play dumb so his senpais won't suspect his feelings for her.
"What are you talking about?" Ryoma asked.
"Ah... don't act as if you don't know. You like her don't you?" Momoshiro said.
"No I don't." Ryoma said coldly.
"Then let's exchange papers." Momoshiro said.
Ryoma raised an eyebrow at Momoshiro.
"Give it to me!" Momoshiro shouted and tried to grab the paper from Ryoma.
"Iya da! Iya da! Iya da!" Ryoma replied and quickly kept his paper in his bag. He turned his back to his senpais and started unpacking his items. He doesn't want his senpais to see him blushing.
"Brat." Momoshiro said with a smile.
Momoshiro, Kikumaru and Fuji exchanged smiles. They knew that Ryoma have feelings for Sakuno.
