Atobe: Ore-sama wants to know why you're not coming.

Rika: I'll go somewhere.
...
Atobe: where?
...
Rika: Seigaku.
...
Atobe: Seigaku? Ore-sama asks why?
...
Rika: I heard that the person I'm looking for was there. Want to go with me, Atobe-san?
...
Atobe: it doesn't matter to Ore-sama.
...
Rika: Domo.
...
...
At the half of their practice, Atobe and Rika left.
...
...
At Seigaku...
...

The Atobe and Rika arrived.

All male students were looking at Rika, while the female students were looking at Atobe.
Someone yell, "Atobe-sama!"
Atobe give her a sweet smile and wink.
...
...
Eiji: Oishi look
...
Momo: Atobe
...
Echizen: Monkey King.
...
Oishi: Atobe, we never expected you and your friend here, anything we can do for both of you?
...
Atobe: Ore-sama hadn't any business here, Ore-sama's friend has. (looks at Rika)
...
Eiji: she's Kawaii, who is she Atobe?
...
Atobe: she's the captain of our Women's Tennis Club, Sakamoto Rika.
...
Momo: Sa-Sakamoto
...
Kaido: Rika?
...
Rika: where is your Women's Tennis Club?
...
Oishi: Horio, accompany our visitor to the...
...
Rika: just tell me where it was.

Oishi points the opposite court.
Without a word, she made her way on the said court.
...
...
Kaido: Tche...
...
Eiji: what kind of attitude does she have?
...
Oishi: Eiji
...
Eiji: gomen.
...
...
Rika enter on the courts. Haruka noticed her.
...
...
Haruka: excuse me; are you a member of our club? I haven't seen you before.
...
Rika: are you the captain of this low level tennis club?
...
Haruka: Excuse me?
...
Rika; don't be mad, I'm just telling the truth.
...
...
Then Yumiko came closer to them
...
...
Yumiko: is there something wrong here buchou?
...
...
Yumiko's eyes widened when she recognize who's her buchou was talking to.
...
...
Yumiko: Ri-Rika...
...
Rika (smirked): surpised, Nee-san?
...
Haruka: Nee-san?
...
...
Without a word, she slapped Yumiko. Yumiko step back a little, holding her cheek. Seigaku men's tennis club made their way on the opposite court.
...
...
Rika: that was for him, because of you, he died! It's all you fault!
...
Haruka: How dare ~
...
Yumiko: buchou, let me handle this. If you have a problem, tell me, let's go somewhere we can talk.
...
...
But Rika hold her sister's arms.
...
...
Rika: I want to talk to you right here, right now Nee-san! I don't know why does otou-san gave you our precious family name; you're just a daughter of a slave.
...
Yumiko: he's also my father, Rika.
...
Rika: no, you're not part, and will never be part of our family, ever. Mark my word. Because of your mom, Otou-san didn't pay attention on Oka-san! Your mom, she's a home wrecker, Gold digger, and a social climber!
...
...
Yumiko slapped her. She sat on the ground.
...
...
Yumiko (angry, points Rika): don't you ever dare to insult my mom again! She didn't do anything to you for you to say those words to her. I can stand all the insults you would give to but never to my mom! (Turn her back) You may now leave.
...
...
Rika stand up.
...
...
Rika: how dare you to ~
...
Yumiko (face Rika): it wasn't that enough? For the last time I will say this, take your leave now!
...
Sakuno: Sakamoto-senpai
...
Tomoka: Good for her.
...
Atobe: let's go, Sakamoto
...
...
Rika do what Atobe said, and take their leave.
...
...
Haruka: Are you alright, Sakamoto?
...
Yumiko: I...I guess so (bows) Gomenasai Sugiyama buchou, Please Excuse me buchou
...
...
With that, she left the court and run her laps.

After practice,
...

Eiji: Where is Miko-chan, nya?
...
Sakuno: She already left Eiji-senpai
...
Momo: strange, the usual, she's the one who's left here
...
Haruka: She needs time

Eiji: is she alright nya?

Haruka: he's right Eiji (smiles)

Eiji: I will look for her tomorrow, nya!
...
...
On the park...
...
...
Yumiko sat beside the fountain at the centre of the park; she looked up at her surroundings, she saw some couples kissing and embracing each other. Yumiko blushed a bit
...
...
Yumiko: what am I doing here?
...
...
She was about to leave when 3 other high schoolers blocked her way.
...
...
Guy 1: why you're sad Ms. Beautiful?
...
Guy 2: was your date didn't come?
...
Guy 3: it's alright; you can go with us, somewhere private, to ease your loneliness
...
Yumiko: Idiots
...
...
She said to a low voice but loud enough for the three to hear. Guy 1 grabbed her wrist and rose it up
...
Guy 1: what did you say?
...
Guy 3: maybe this girl wants to learn a lesson
...
...
Then Rui showed up.
...
...
Rui: Oi
...
...
The three high schoolers looked at him
...
Rui: let her go
...
Guy 2: you're out of this matter, so go away.
...
Rui: Let. Her. Go!
...
...
Guy 3 hold Rui's Polo and clenched it.
...
...
Rui: don't touch my polo
...
...
But guy 3 didn't hear him, so he broke the other's wrist. And beat the 2 others.
...
...
Guy1: you'll pay for this!
...
...
He's saying that while running
...
...
Rui: go on!
...
...
He came closer to Yumiko which was standing behind a bench.
...
..
Rui: are you alright?
...
...
She nods. Then she grab the young lady's wrist but the other didn't budge from where she's standing
...
...
Rui: come on
...
Yumiko: Wh-where are we going?
...
Rui: you'll see, so trust me, just for once, OK?
...
Yumiko: O-Ok
...
...
She followed Rui.
...
...
Then...
...
...
Yumiko: A-Arcade City?
...
Rui: yup!
...
Yumiko: what are we doing here?
...
Rui: what do you think? Let's go
...
...
The two come inside the 4-storey building. They play and play and play. After almost 2 hours...
...
...
Rui: did you enjoy our game?
...
Yumiko: yeah, thanks for this day Hanazawa-san
...
...
Rui smiled at her, and she smiled back. After having a dinner on a fast food restaurant, Rui walked Yumiko home
