Finally got the time to continue! I noticed that there were quite a number of errors like spelling errors in my previous post! I apologise to all of you I didn't have time to re-read the chapter before posting it. Hope that you will forgive those mistakes and maybe one or two more in the future chapters !

Now without delay lets get on with chapter 11 !

Title: A tiny trip to Seigaku Part 1

Disclaimer: Mi dun own anything. Cause if i did, PoT will never end. Hahas!

Previously:

Just as Rio was going to explain, a soft melody started to play from within her pockets. It took awhile for Rio to realise that it was her mobile phone. After picking up the phone and recognising the voice, she let out a soft smile that would mesmerise anyone. Much to the surprise of the group surrounding her. Who could it be?

Normal POV~~~

"Hn.. sure, I'll head back now." Rio replied and ended the call. It was from Ryoma, apparently Rio had not been checking the time. If she didn't head back to school now she would be late for first period. Rio slipped her phone back to her pocket and turn to the group. "Sorry, Yuki-nii, Genichi I need to get back to Seigaku, if not I'll be late. Ryo Onii-chan just called I need to get back." Yukimura and Sanada nodded in agreement as they looked at their cell phones to check for the time. "So I'll be going now!" Rio packed her racket into her tennis bag and waved to the group before leaving. Before she could leave the tennis court gates. Yukimura stopped her, "Rio, won't you consider transfering to our school? Your strength would be really appreciated here and you would fit in perfectly too." The regulars gasped. 'Did their Buchou just personally invite a girl to join their tennis club? Gender aside, did he just asked someone personally to join them?' It wasn't everyday that you see Rikkaidai's captain himself inviting another player to join them. Maybe there was really something more to the pettie little girl in front of them? Rio turned to face the captain. Smiling sadly she looked straight into his eyes and flashed a smile declining the invitation. "As much as I would love to accept that, I can't. As you know I can't leave my big brother alone. As well as that incident. I enrolled in to Seigaku hoping to make a new start once again. I won't be changing schools anytime soon." she explained paitiently. "But! I'll come visit if you invite me again." Rio quickly added picking up her tennis bag and turned to leave once again. This time someone else grabbed her shoulder. "I'll send you back to Seigaku. I-If thats alright with you." spoke the blue capped male while he looked away from her awkwardly and scratched his face. He felt embarrassed that he stuttered on the last sentance. "Sure Genichi. I would really apreciate that." Rio replied not denying the fact that she felt a gush of happiness when Sanada offered to take her back.

After Sanda and Rio walked off from the courts, Yukimura chuckled at the scene that just unfolded in front of the group. "Ne, buchou." spoke Marui while blowing his bubble gum. "You said that Rio-chan was Sanada fuku-buchou's first love. But how come I get this feeling that its not as simple as that?" Yukimura's expression changed, a hint of sadness was seen, even though it was his usual gentle expression, everyone was quite sure that there was more then what meets the eye. "Well, there was a time that they almost got together. Almost." This time the regulars' jaw dropped. 'Okay, that was too much infomation here Buchou.' they all thought. "But, sometime happened to Rio just right during that time. Resulted her flying overseas for.. for rehab in a forgein rehab centre. In the end Rio and Sanda was serprated. I'm not sure if Rio still feels the same anymore but it was after that Sanada started to distance himself from girls and really closed up his emotions. Thats how you guys got to know the Sanada you all know today." The explaination was kind of shocking to the group. Rio didn't seem like someone who had a bad past or anything haunting her from her past. Yukimura didn't seem to have any intention to spill out what was the incident that took place. In the end the group was left with more questions then they started out with. But no one questioned any further as Yukimura's expression showed that they shouldn't press further. Each of the regulars were then dissmissed while Yukimura walked back towards the school building. But a certain seaweed hair regular just had his interest sparked. He thought that Rio was really pretty but who knew behind her bubbly and innocent face there was a past. Akaya found himself wanting to know more.

Back at Seigaku Normal POV~~~

Sanada and Rio had been having small chats along the way back. With a few moments of Sanada being lost in his thoughts as he gazed at Rio and then getting caught by her for doing it. Followed by him blushing and stuttering at his next sentance, which was answered by the giggling coming from Rio after that. A few awkward moments here and there before they finally reached Seigaku's gates. They walked side by side all the way to the tennis courts of Seigaku.

Seigaku's tennis club were into their last phrase of morning practice. From afar Ryoma noticed the presense of his baby sister. He looked around to see where she was. It was this thing between twins that you will somehow know when the other is around. Not that it could be explained by logic. Sure enough he spotted Rio walking towards the courts with someone else beside. 'Just who is that?' Ryoma squited his eyes to try and identify the male beside Rio. Apparently he wasn't the only one that noticed the couple coming towards the courts. "Nyaaa~ Isn't that Sanada?" Eiji popped out suddenly from Ryoma's back. Ryoma's eye twitched. That oddly familiar name. Oishi walked up to Ryoma and Eiji, "You're right Eiji, it is him. Whats one of the big three of Rikaidai doing here?" The third year's have seen Sanada before due to last year's competition. All of them knew the faces of one of the strongest players in the competition. "Him again. What is he doing here." Ryoma growled. "EH~ Ochibi-chan do you know him?" Ryoma nodded sliently. Before they could continue questioning him. Rio and Sanada had already arrived at the courts. "Ryo Onii-chan I'm back! Ah, all the regulars are here too? Erm.. then shall I introduce you? Genichi, these are the Seigaku regulars." Rio pointed at the group of people. "And, guys this is the vice-captain of Rikkaidai tennis club." Handshakes and a mini introduction occured before something unexpected happen. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? After all this time?!" Ryoma growled angrily. Grabbing Rio's hand and pulling her behind him he shot a deadly stare at Sanada. Sanada tried to find the right words. But he could think of nothing. Rio tried to softly tug at Ryoma's sleeve but it didn't work. "You couldn't even protect her. You couldn't do anything that time. What makes you think you have any right to stand by her now?" The Seigaku regulars were shocked. What has gotten into Echizen? "Ochibi?"

"Leave! Don't come near Rio ever again. Got it?" Ryoma stated flatly and tugged on Rio's hand urging her to leave with him. "W-Wait!" Sanada grabbed Rio's free hand. "Lo-Look, I apologise for that time. I was there yet I couldn't do anything about it. I'm really sorry. But you can't forbid me from meeting Rio." Ryoma clicked his tongue, "Let go of her hand." Sanada refused and only gripped tighter. Rio was stuck inbetween them. It was a long time ago already she didn't expect Ryoma to still have such a big reaction. Or rather she has never blamed anyone for anything during that incident. "I..It hurts." Rio whimpered. Sanada's eyes widened for a second as he let loose Rio's wrist causing her to fall into Ryoma's arms. "You'll let her go so easily. Do this mean it's this easy for you to let go of her in the future too?" Ryoma snarled getting more pissed by the minute. "She was in pain..." Sanada tried to explain. Rio couldn't stand it anymore, she was getting irritated with the situation but most of all it hurts to see her brother in this state. Rio pulled free her wrist from Ryoma's grip. "Ryo Onii-chan, he knew I was in pain thats why he let go. Isn't that right Genichi?" Sanada could only nod. "Its okay already. Everything is, so calm down okay?" Rio placed a tiny peck on Ryoma's forhead. Ryoma's temper began to simmer, it was miraculous the effect Rio had on him. She walked over to Sanada and thanked him for sending her back and told him to leave for now. "Everything will be fine. Genichi don't show such an expression okay?" she flashed him another of her irrisistable smiles. Sanada turned to leave. Only when his back was out of sight did Rio walk back to Ryoma and the Regulars and naturally being the Seigaku regulars they are, they already had a long list of questions lined up.
