The re-match

After having the experience of watching Fuji sempai play from the bench, he couldn't help but think of the match they played in the rain. Laying on his bed thinking about the match, wondering what he would have done had he been Fuji's opponent facing the last triple counter, hakugei. A slight movement shook him out of his trance and a light brown, furry face appeared in front of his face. "Karupin," said he, while still getting over his trance. He went on to pet his cat, then decided to go downstairs for some milk. Gotta keep up with Inui's training recipe. So, he went downstairs, drank a bottle of milk, and went back upstairs to sleep. Maybe tomorrow he would have a chance at a re-match. That was the last thing he thought about before entering a deep sleep.

Beep, beep, beep Light shone through the window as the 151 CM, green-haired, gold eyed first year awoke. Amazed that he got up on time, and not wanting to ruin the good start, he got out of bed. He then put on his school uniform, got his navy blue 3 racquet bag, and headed downstairs for breakfast. "Ara, Ryoma, you are up early today," said his cousin Nanoko. "Today is your favorite Japanese style breakfast." "heeeeeeh," Ryoma replied and sat down to eat. His father, Nanjiroh, was sitting across from him reading the "newspaper." "Uncle, how many times do I have to tell you not to read the newspaper at the table…," said Nanoko as she took the newspaper from him. As usual, the porn magazine fell out of the newspaper. A slight blush could be seen on Nanoko's face after seeing the magazine, but she soon regained her composure and picked up the magazine. Ryoma just continued to eat as he did not want the chance to eat a Japanese style breakfast to go to waste as he did have morning practice that day. Suddenly aware of the time, he shoveled the rest of his breakfast into his mouth and finished his glass of milk, then picked up his racquet bag and left for school.

On the way to school something flew past him, making his hair move. After a few moments, he noticed his hat was missing. Looking ahead of him, he saw his sempai, Momoshiro, on his purple bike waving his precious cap. "Give me back my cap," he said. "You're going to have to dash all the way to school if you want it," Momshiro replied as he sped up on his bike. "maaaateeeeee, Momoshiro-sempai!" replied Echizen as he ran after his sempai.
