It's storming really badly. So I've got nothing else to do…and it's not rare for me to update more than once a day…

Sorry for the OOCness….

Chapter 3


Momo walked the familiar path to the tennis courts. Once he was there, he leaned up against a tree, not wanting to interrupt anything. But that failed. And quickly at that.

"Momochan-buchou!"

Momo turned quickly to see Horio running towards him.

"Horio! Shh! Not so loud!" He replied, making frantic motions to shut the younger boy up. "And I'm not your Buchou anymore."

Horio shrugged. "Fine then. But you're still Senpai. Why are you here?"

It was Momo's turn to shrug. "Practice is only for regulars at school right now, and I had no where else to be.."

"Shouldn't you still be asleep?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing! Just that you over sleep all the time, Senpai. Echizen isn't even here yet."

"He's…He's not?"

He felt sad. Disappointed, maybe..? He tried to convince himself that that wasn't the only reason he had shown up there. But it was then Momo noticed Horio was wearing the Regulars jersey.

"Hm. Finally made regulars, huh?" He asked, a small smirk on his face.

"Of course I did! What with my four years of tennis experience…"

Momo nodded. He really didn't want to listen to this… And if Ryoma wasn't even there yet… He glanced at his watch…. Might as well make it to home room early… Very early…

"Listen. I was just curious to how things were going around here now? Good?" He paused, and Horio nodded. He was going to say something, but Momo cut him off. "That's great..but, I'm going to go and watch my Senpai practice I think."

"Okay," Horio frowned. Then his face lit up as though he had gotten a brilliant idea. "Momochan-buchou-"
"What did I tell you?" But Horio ignored him.

"Do you have paper?"

"Of course I have paper."
"Great. Let me see."

Momo reached into his bag pulling out a piece of paper. He handed it to Horio.

"A pen, Senpai?"
"Don't you get cocky with me…" But he handed him a pen none the less.

He watched as Horio wrote something down and folded it up. Then the younger teen handed Momo them back.

"Read what it says later. Like, when you're at your school. Bye, Momochan-Buchou!"

"What did I tell you about that?" Momo rolled his eyes, and then made his way towards the gate, sticking the paper in his pocket.

On his way out, a boy running rushed past. Momo thought nothing of it, completely used to the idea of someone being late, so he kept walking. Until-

"Momo-Senpai?"

He stopped.

"It is you."

The rushing boy was now walking towards him. Momo turned around to be greeted by golden eyes.

"E-Echizen.."

"What are you doing here, Senpai."

Golden eyes.

Pink lips….Pink lips that looked so soft.

Hair so black it was almost green…..

"Nothing! I'm doing nothing Echizen! Why would I be doing something?"

Ryoma just watched him. "Mada mada dane, Momo-senpai."

"Eh..I have to go! Yeah, go. See you later Echizen! Bye!"

…And he ran.
