When Ryoma got home he yelled, "Old man you are on your own with Eve." He then barely made it in to his room and closed the door before he transformed once more into his house cat form. He then hid in his room that is until Eve came and blackmailed him into joining the family for dinner but as he walked towards the dining table, he transformed in to the snow leopard. Nanjiroh's jaw dropped and he yelled, "Is this why you left me to your sister's tender care, you brat." Rinko got up and walked over to Ryoma, but not before saying to Nanjioh, "Keep your perverted magazines away from Ryoma or else." When she reached Ryoma, she gave him a big hug and asked, "Is this possibly the reason that every half hour or so, one of your teammates calls to ask how you're doing?" Ryoma nodded. Rinko smiled and said, "You are going to school tomorrow, and the sooner you tell your crush that you like them the easier it will be on you." Ryoma looked asking, "How did you…Eve you promised!" Eve smiled and said, "I promised not to tell anyone on the team and it is not as if I told mom who it was and I did not say a word to dad either. Besides, she asked me if you had a crush or not, and I just confirmed her suspicions, nothing more. Would you rather I had called Ryoga told him you have a crush." Ryoma deeming it safer to not reply to that question said, "I'm going to eat and then I'm going to bed would someone put my plate where I can reach It seeing as I still have no control." After the meal Ryoma said, "I'll see you all in the morning."
The next morning Ryoma woke up an hour earlier than usual in order to meditate and focus so he could avoid transforming at school. All too soon, it was time to leave. When they reached the school turned and said, "The reason mom wants you to confess to your crush is because it is a proven fact that our family transforms more often around those we like when said person does not know that we like them." Ryoma just scowled, he went decidedly white as he realized that all the regulars plus Inui heard Eve. Ryoma just turned and started running laps to get away from every one especially Eve. Fuji smiled and said, "let me guess he is just going to make it harder on himself and it is the information of who he has a crush on that you are blackmailing him with."
Eve just nodded and said, "It can't be helped. He gets his stubbornness from our dad, but then so do I?" Tezuka then walked up and said, "Everyone there is a mixed tournament coming up and it is to be comprised of senior and junior high regulars both boys and girls. Those entering the tournament do not have to be official members of the tennis club. The coaches and Capitan Aizen wanted to know if you wanted to participate as the rules state that a member may be handicapped if they can prove to the board that they can play." Eve smiled and said, "I would love to."
