...

Yumiko: I know.

...

...

Kyo left. Besides them, other players from other school are practicing. Hyoutei Gakuen. (Favourite place of Hyoutei Gakuen after school) Yumiko and Akira start their training session. After more than an hour, Akira sat on the court, out of breathe.

Akira does what Yumiko said. He hit it hard. Yumiko hit it back to Akira. But Akira didn't hit it.

...

Yumiko: don't hit it too hard young man

...

Akira: you said force you to be serious.

...

Yumiko: yeah I've said it, but remember hitting the ball hard wouldn't make me serious. And also remember you can hit someone. Understand?

...

Akira: Hai Yumiko nee-san, gomen.

...

Kyo: well then, let's go.

...

Momo: don't worry Yumiko Chan; we'll take care of this.

...

Yumiko: but...

...

Hiyoshi came and said that their sensei wants to talk to them. Kyo came towards Yumiko.

...

Atobe: your luck Seigaku. Let's go

...

Kyo: let's go; let me carry your things.

...

She said her goodbyes to them and her apologies. They start walking; then they stop on the stairs. Yumiko pull Kyo's sleeve.

...

Yumiko: Kyo, when can I have it?

...

Kyo: I don't know, I'm still gathering informations about him.

...

Yumiko (smiles): arigatou Guzaimasu, Kyo.

...

Kyo tapped Yumiko's shoulder

...

Kyo: everything for you.

...

...
Suddenly, Connie jumped on her; she was shocked, and out of balance. Kyo immediately grab her waist and pull her closer to him. Connie was between them.

...

...

Kyo: Daijobou?

...

Yumiko lift her face.

...

Yumiko: Hai.

...

Kyo release Yumiko.

...

...

Yumiko: ok.
