For all RyoSaku fans.
Thanks for leaving reviews. It makes me so happy! Sorry, but I think this story is getting lamer so please bear with it. I'll try my best to improve on the story.
Warning: Aaarghhh... I always write out of character! I wonder why!
Note: I don't own Prince of Tennis, but I wish I did...
"Sakuno, let's open our paper together ok?" Tomoka said.
"Okay." Sakuno said and took out the paper from her pocket.
"1... 2..." Tomoka counted.
"Ahhh... I can't believe it! I got that annoying Kikumaru for my mortal!" Sakagi shouted.
"Haha, that's too bad. I had no idea who is this person that I get." Yagami said and showed her paper to Sakagi.
"Let me see!" Sakagi snatched the paper from Yagami.
"Kawamura Takashi..." Sakagi read aloud.
Yagami and Sakagi exchanged glances. They turned to look at Sakuno and Tomoka.
"Do you know who is Kawamura Takashi?" Yagami asked.
"Even if we know who he is, we won't tell you." Tomoka said.
"Tomo chan..." Sakuno said.
"Hey chibi, tell us who he is!" Sakagi demanded.
"I got a name! It is To. Mo. Ka!" Tomoka said.
"Whatever. I might as well ask your friend there. At least she looks more friendly than you." Yagami said.
"Hey you, do you know who is Kawamura Takashi?" Yagami turned to ask Sakuno.
"Ano..." Sakuno said nervously. She can feel Tomoka glaring daggers at her.
"Kawamura senpai... is from year 3." Sakuno said.
Yagami frowned.
"Ok, at least we got some information from her. Unlike some people..." Yagami said and turned to look at Tomoka.
"Tell us more about him. Is he handsome? Shy? What are his hobbies?" Sakagi asked excitedly.
"He is errr... a tennis player." Sakuno mumbled stupidly.
"Sakuno, enough already. Stop telling them about Kawamura senpai!" Tomoka shouted.
"Tennis player? So he is a friend of the boys from our group. The four of them are tennis player too right?" Sakagi said to Yagami.
"Why are we stuck with tennis freaks?" Yagami asked Sakagi.
"Scary..." They said in unison and laughed loudly at their own joke.
"Hey, who are you calling tennis freaks?" Tomoka shouted angrily.
"Ne, we don't want to argue with you. Just stay out of our way ok?" Yagami said to Tomoka.
Tomoka glared at them. Yagami and Sakagi turned and walked off to their beds.
"Idiots!" Tomoka mumbled. She turned and pointed a finger to Sakuno.
"Ah, Sakuno! Don't be so friendly with those two freaks!" Tomoka said.
Sakuno swallowed hard. She was not acting friendly with the two girls, she was afraid of them.
"Ano... Tomo chan..." Sakuno said.
Tomoka sighed. She knew it was not Sakuno's fault. Tomoka picked up her paper and unfold it. Her eyes widened in surprised and her face turned pale.
"Sca... scary..." Tomoka said.
"Tomo chan. Are you alright?" Sakuno asked, worriedly.
Sakuno looked at the paper Tomoka was reading.
Kaidoh Kaoru was written on the paper.
"Ano... Tomo chan. Kaidoh senpai isn't as scary as you think. I guess." Sakuno said.
"Ye... yeah... I hope so." Tomoka said.
Tomoka shuddered at the thought of Kaidoh hissing. She is afraid to talk to Kaidoh because his eyes are scary, especially when he stared at someone.
Sakuno unfolded her paper.
"Satoshi Horio." Sakuno read.
"Seriously?" Tomoka shouted and grabbed the paper.
"Aaah...why are we so unlucky?" Tomoka asked.
Sakuno shrugged. She did not mind getting Horio but she was hoping to get Ryoma. Sakuno sighed. She wondered whom did Ryoma get.
----------------------
It was dinnertime. Everyone sat in their own group. Ryuzaki sensei came towards group 7. She placed a paper on their table.
"Please take a look at the list. We will be having games tomorrow morning. Here is the game schedule and group list. I have divided your group in two." Ryuzaki sensei said and left their table.
Fuji picked up the paper and read.
"What's the grouping like?" Kikumaru asked.
"Read out loud for us to hear." Momoshiro said.
"Hmm... let's see. Group A, Kikumaru, Echizen, Osakada and Yagami. Group B, Momoshiro, Fuji, Ryuzaki and Sakagi." Fuji read.
"What...?" Yagami slammed her hands on the table.
The group started arguing about their team members.
"Yay! I got Ochibi in my group." Kikumaru said happily and hugged Ryoma tightly.
"That hurts, Kikumaru senpai." Ryoma said.
Yagami looked at Kikumaru who was busy pulling Ryoma close to him.
"Are you both gay or what?" She asked.
Kikumaru and Ryoma turned to look at Yagami.
"Got a problem, nyah?" Kikumaru asked.
"Freaks." Yagami mumbled.
"Too bad huh you didn't get Echizen's group?" Fuji asked Sakuno.
Sakuno eyes widened. She was in dreamland and Fuji shocked her.
"Fuji senpai... ano... I..." She can't find the right words to say.
"Never mind. Momoshiro and I will look after you. We won't let Echizen bully you." Fuji smiled at her.
Sakuno looked at Fuji. She had no idea what he was talking about.
Look after me? Sakuno thought to herself.
Sakuno smiled. Fuji is always nice to everyone.
"Unlike some brat." She added softly and looked at Ryoma who was still arguing with Kikumaru and Yagami.
"Ssshhhh..." Fuji said pressing a finger to his lips.
Everyone on the table stopped talking and looked at him. Fuji smiled.
"Tomorrow morning we will be jogging, followed by volleyball. After lunch, we will be playing basketball." Fuji said without looking up from the paper he was reading.
Silence.
"Volleyball?" Kikumaru asked.
Kikumaru nudged Ryoma. Kikumaru knew that Ryoma is good in volleyball and it is obvious their group will win that match... but basketball...
"Momo senpai can play basketball well." Ryoma whispered to Kikumaru.
"Fuji senpai, what games are we playing the day after tomorrow?" Momoshiro asked.
"Hmmm... We are going trekking and having a picnic for lunch on Wednesday." Fuji said.
"How about Thursday?" Tomoka asked.
"Canoeing in the morning followed by tennis. Campfire in the evening." Fuji said.
"We get to play tennis, nyah!" Kikumaru said happily.
Kikumaru pointed a finger at Momoshiro.
"My team will win yours in all the matches. I am warning you, Momo!" Kikumaru bragged.
Momoshiro gritted his teeth. Kikumaru is getting on his nerves. He looked at Kikumaru's team. He heard Tomoka can play sports well and Yagami belongs to the girl's volleyball team.
They have Echizen in their team. That brat usually gets what he wants. Momoshiro thought in silent.
Momoshiro turned and looked at his team. He knew that his group is not much of an athletic but Fuji is a Tensai. Tennis Tensai. The two girls may be weak but he knew he and Fuji could buck up for them.
"Fuji senpai, let's thrash their team tomorrow." Momoshiro said to Fuji.
Fuji smiled and rubbed his chin.
"Interesting. I am looking forward to it." Fuji said.
----------------------
The boys went back to their room after dinner.
Momoshiro yawned and lied down on his bed. Kikumaru climbed up to his bed.
"Are you going to sleep, Momo?" Fuji asked.
"Maybe." Momoshiro replied lazily.
"Have you write a letter for your mortal?" Kikumaru looked down from his bed.
"Nope. I'll write tomorrow." Momoshiro said. He was not even interested to write a letter to his mortal.
"We are supposed to write at least once a day, right Fuji?" Kikumaru looked at Fuji.
Fuji was scribbling furiously in his notebook.
"What are you writing to that witch?" Kikumaru asked.
"Love letter perhaps?" Momoshiro guessed without opening his eyes.
"It is a secret." Fuji looked up from his book and smiled.
"Hmmm..." Kikumaru said and took out his notebook. He bit his pencil end, thinking hard. Kikumaru looked down at Ryoma.
Ryoma was flipping through the empty pages of his notebook and fiddling with his pencil.
"Ochibi. What are you going to write?" Kikumaru asked Ryoma.
Momoshiro got up and quickly sat next to Ryoma. He waited for Ryoma to start writing.
Ryoma paused and looked at Momoshiro.
"What do you want?" He asked.
Momoshiro gave him a silly smile and said nothing. Ryoma frowned. He closed his book shut and lied down on his bed.
"Oi Echizen! Aren't you going to write her something?" Momoshiro pushed Ryoma gently, asking him to get up.
"Look who's talking? You don't even write to your mortal." Ryoma said.
"Ok, I will write him something. Now can you get up and write something for Ryuzaki san?" Momoshiro said.
"Why must I?" Ryoma got up and looked at Momoshiro.
"Hey, she's your mortal." Momoshiro said.
"So?" Ryoma asked.
Momoshiro felt like stabbing the brat to death.
"Echizen! If you don't want to write her anything then let's swap papers. I can write her nice letters." Momoshiro said.
"In your dreams." Ryoma mumbled.
"What's going on down there?" Kikumaru yelled from above.
"Ne, Fuji senpai. Echizen is being a brat! He doesn't want to write her anything. Poor Ryuzaki san. Imagine her waiting to get a letter from her angel." Momoshiro complained to Fuji.
"Stop whining!" Ryoma scolded.
Ryoma was getting pissed off. He was having a hard time thinking of what to write to Sakuno. His senpais irritates him and he can't even think.
"Aww... Ryoma kun is so bad. Some kind of angel you are, Ryoma kun!" Momoshiro mimicked Sakuno's voice.
Ryoma frowned. His senpais are annoying.
"Fine! I'll write her something she'll never forget!" Ryoma shouted angrily.
"Whoa!" Kikumaru said and quickly climbed down from his bed. Fuji came down too.
The three boys leaned close to Ryoma and waited for him to write something. Ryoma covered his book with his hands. He felt like kicking himself for saying that sentence earlier on.
Shit! Now what should I write to her? Ryoma thought nervously.
Ryoma started writing. His senpais leaned closer, hoping to get a glimpse of what he is writing.
"Ah, Echizen! Move your hand aside!" Momoshiro yelled and tried to pull Ryoma's hand away from the book.
"Iya da!" Ryoma said, still covering the book.
"Aaah..." Kikumaru pulled the book from Ryoma while Momoshiro pulled his hands.
"Let's see what Ochibi wrote!" Kikumaru said.
Momoshiro dropped Ryoma's hand and rushed towards Kikumaru. Fuji peeked from behind.
"Hello there." Kikumaru read the messy scribbles in the book.
All three boys frowned and turned to glare at Ryoma.
"What?" Ryoma asked.
"Something she will never forget, nyah?" Kikumaru asked pointing at what Ryoma wrote.
Ryoma shrugged.
"How can I write when Momo senpai pushed my hands and Kikumaru senpai pulled my book while I was writing?" Ryoma said.
"Good point." Fuji said. He turned to face Momoshiro and Kikumaru.
"Let's sit quietly and wait for Echizen to finish writing." Fuji ordered.
Ryoma tore off the paper that he wrote earlier. He started writing on a fresh paper. Ryoma decided to write in his best handwriting for her. His senpais leaned closer to have a look.
"Ah, Ochibi's handwriting is like a girl!" Kikumaru said when he saw Ryoma's handwritings.
Ryoma stopped writing and looked at Kikumaru.
"What are you trying to say, Kikumaru senpai?" Ryoma asked.
"Eiji, let Echizen finish writing what he wants to write." Fuji said.
"Yeah. Echizen wants to give Sakuno a letter she will never forget. So don't tease him." Momoshiro said with a laugh.
Ryoma gritted his teeth. He stopped writing and put his pencil down.
"Ah. Finished!" Ryoma announced.
His senpais quickly turned to read what Ryoma had written.
"Hello to you. Have a nice day." They read in unison.
"Ochibi!" Kikumaru shouted.
"Oi Echizen! Can't you write something else other than hello?" Momoshiro asked.
"That is too short, Echizen." Fuji said and passed the pencil to Ryoma.
Ryoma frowned and took the pencil. He quickly scribbled something.
"Does this make you feel better?" Ryoma asked and showed the book to his senpais.
"Hello to you. Have a nice day. Mada mada dane." Fuji read and smiled.
"Echizen!" Momoshiro shouted.
"Ochibi!" Kikumaru shouted and threw a pillow at Ryoma.
"Ouch! That hurts." Ryoma said and grabbed the pillow that was thrown to his face.
"Don't you think she will know who you are if you write mada mada dane?" Fuji asked Ryoma.
"Ah... Senpais are irritating. Just let me write in peace." Ryoma said.
Ryoma knew that Sakuno will suspect it's him who wrote the letter to her when she read the "Mada mada dane". He was just trying to irritate his senpais by writing that phrase. Ryoma did not intend to give that to her. He decided to write later, when his senpais were asleep.
