Yuuji: that man, he's Sakamoto Hatori-san.
Yumiko (eyes widened): Na-nani?
She was shocked. She looked at the date when it was taken; it's been two weeks ago.
Yumiko: are you sure it's been taken two weeks ago?
Yuuji: Hai Sakamoto-san. Is there something wrong?
She shook her head.
Yumiko: no-nothing (stands up), I'll take my leave now.
She left the money for Yuuji's service and for the coffee, and then leaves.

When she arrived on her house, she laid her body on her soft bed. Tears begun to flow from her eyes. Connie licked her tears. Like saying stop crying. She gently brushes Connie's fur, she's still crying.
Yumiko: why did he lie to me Connie? Why?
She gently closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She woke up, it's already 5:30 PM, and her eyes are still hurting. Will she confront him? When? How? Or what are the possible things he can do to him.
The next day...
She woke up, she want to skip school and practice. But she has to.
She arrived at the school, as usual early. They don't have morning practice that day, so she headed towards her classroom. She just greeted them "Ohayou" in a low voice which is normally happy.
After class hours, she headed towards the courts. She's there. Yes. But, absent minded.
After practice, Haruka ordered them to go home, as usual; she's the one who's left; so she took a shower. When she comes out from the clubroom, she saw Kyo. All her anger rises up again.
Kyo: hi Yumiko.
Yumiko: what are you doing here?
Kyo: Picking you up.
She passed Kyo. But Kyo grabbed her shoulder.
Kyo: what's the matter Yumiko?
Yumiko put out the photos from Yuuji.
...
...
Yumiko: Isigawa-san can you please explain this to me.
Kyo (eyes widened) these are...
Yumiko: since when?
Kyo: yumiko, you...
Yumiko: SINCE WHEN?
She yelled at him, she got the attention from the near tennis court (MEN).
...
...
Kyo (face down): two months ago.
...
She slapped Kyo.
Kyo: Yu-Yumiko...
She began to cry.
Yumiko: you know how much I wanted to see my father, and you, you keep it to me for so long! Why? Why?
Kyo: I... I can't tell you the reason.
Yumiko: well then, bring me to my father.
Kyo's face saddened. He looks down.
Kyo: I... I can't.
Yumiko: another reason?
Kyo: he... Hatori-san died yesterday,
Yumiko: what did you say?
Kyo: Hatori-san died yesterday.
...
...
Yumiko's tears flow down again.
Her father died and he didn't meet him once, that's what she wished on her entire life, to meet her father, and Kyo took it away from her.
Yumiko was about to leave when Kyo grab her shoulder. But she slap off Kyo's hands.
...
Yumiko: don't you dare to touch me, stay away from me; I don't want to see your Kyo. It's unforgivable.
...
And she leaves.
Men's tennis Club witnessed everything, they were worried, it was the first time they saw her crying.
...
Eiji: what happened to Miko-chan? She's crying isn't she?
Momo: that bastard, how dare him to do that?
Taka: calm down Momo, Oishi: we still don't know what happened.
Inui: the probability that the reason was her father is 90%.
Echizen: Mada Mada Dane.
Kaido: ~fsssuuuhhh~
Fuji: Omoshiro.
...
...
Yumiko's House.
Yumiko headed towards her room, she lay on her bed. Connie climbed on top of her. She began to cry again.
Yumiko: I don't want to trust him anymore.
And she fell asleep again. She woke up when Connie licked her lips. It's already 10 PM. She took a bath, changed her clothes, eat dinner, do her home works and sleep again.
Days passed, Yumiko focus her attention on her studies and tennis matches.

Tokyo Cafe (Saturday)
Yuuji: my deepest condolences, Sakamoto-san.
Yumiko: arigatou Guzaimasu Yuuji-san.
...
After having a conversation with her private investigator, she went home, she don't know what to think. She's really confused about the things that are happening.
=Flashback=
Yumiko (confused): what do you mean?
Yuuji (more confused): I thought...
...
Yuuji shows a folder to his client.
...
Yumiko: what's this?
Yuuji: that was the autopsy report of Sakamoto Hatori-san.
...
Yumiko's eyes widened.
...
Yumiko: my otousan...
Yuuji: I know you are aware about your father's illness which is heart failure, but he didn't die because of his illness, someone killed him.
Yumiko: Who did this?
Yuuji: we made an investigation team for Hatori-san's case; the only person we can say that can do this to your father was the one who's close to him.
Yumiko: and this is...
Yuuji: Isigawa Kyo-san.
=End of Flashback=
On Yumiko's House...
She's lying in her bed, arms covering her eyes; while Connie was lying in her tummy.
=Flashback=
Yumiko: Kyo? But why Kyo?
Yuuji: Our investigation came to one conclusion. Besides you, Isigawa-san was one of the beneficiaries of Hatori-san's inheritance once he was dead. Those conclusions maybe push him to kill your father.
Yumiko: are you serious about this?
Yuuji: Iie. But his one of the suspected persons.
Yumiko: you suspected someone else?
Yuuji: Hai. The other reason was business. Hatori san owns a huge company that earns Millions every month, a bank account with the total of 100,000,000 Yen or bigger than that,
Yumiko (eyes widened): A-are you serious? My father was that rich?
Yuuji: Aah, so I am sure that money was the main reason of his death.
Silence came until Yuuji spoke up.
Yuuji: it's very hard to believe but it's just our conclusion Sakamoto-san. Until we finished our investigation can you stay away from Isigawa-san?
=End of Flashback=

...
Days passed, Yumiko didn't feel Kyo's presence, until one day...
Haruka: Today's practice was over, 1st years clean the courts
All: Hai!
Yumiko: here's the clubroom key, I need to leave now.
...
...
She left the key to her Fuzukubuchou, and left.
The men's tennis club was still practicing, after a few moments, their practice was done and the players prepare to go home.
When Yumiko locked the clubroom door and turn around, she saw Kyo. She remembered Yuuji-san told to her, "Stay away from Isigawa-san"
She immediately runs to hide. But Kyo notice her. The man chase after her. She immediately opens the closest door to her which is the Men's Tennis Club changing room. When Yumiko closed the door, she saw Oishi, wearing his sweat pants and was about to took off his practice shirt.
Yumiko looked away. Oishi pull down his shirt. He blushed furiously.
...
...
Oishi (Blushing): Sakamoto? Wh- what are you doing here?
She was still standing at the door.
Yumiko: Go-gomen senpai, I'll tell you everything later, but first, can you please let me hide here? Kyo is chasing after me.
Oishi: Isigawa-san?
...
...
On the window, Oishi saw Kyo. Kyo stop there a few seconds, Yumiko hold her breathe, after that Kyo left.
...
...
Oishi: he's gone.
...
...
Yumiko slid down on the door; cover her face with both hands, crying. Oishi hear her sobs. He offers her a handkerchief. She accepts it. After a while she stops crying. He sat beside her.
...
...
Oishi: how are you now?
Yumiko: I feel better now, thanks.
...
...
Yumiko tell Oishi everything, after that...
...
...
Oishi: I-I'm so sorry.
...

She rests her head on her senpai's shoulder.
Oishi blushed again.

Oishi (still blushing): Ha-Hai?
...
Yumiko: can you keep it for me, the things I told you?
...
Oishi: O-Of course

Yumiko: Arigatou Senpai

She stands up.

Oishi: where are you going?
