The Devil Plays Tennis
Episode Three Summary: In which Kintarou and Ryoma find a rival by the name of Marui Bunta.
THREE.
Here,
In your arms.
-Hellogoodbye
"Come on," Kintarou whined. He tugged annoyingly on Ryoma's sleeves, "You're too cruel Koshimae..."
The Prince was only too tempted to shove the red head away. Fortunately for the oblivious Kintarou, there was a crowd of underclassmen watching their every move.
"You were three hours late," Ryoma bit out, "It doesn't matter to me if you make the team or not."
"Koshimae!!" Kintarou gasped and much to Ryoma's despair, tightened his hold, "I thought we were friends!"
"What made you think that?!" Ryoma snapped. He yanked Kintarou's sleeve so that both met eye to eye.
"I-I made you lunch everyday," Kintarou said weakly. Tearing up, he continued to hold on to Ryoma's sleeve, "I thought we had something special!!"
"Like WHAT?!" Ryoma yelled incredulously.
"Well... You let me follow you around don't you?" Kintarou said grinning.
Ryoma paused. The honest truth was Sakuno seemed to enjoy Kintarou's company and since the Kawamura incident the two seemed to get along extremely well. Where that would mean much annoyance to Ryoma's part, he, albeit being an ice cube, was learning to sacrafice some things for his girlfriend- Even if that meant having to hang around an annoying-in-your-face red head.
"Don't get cocky," Ryoma hissed.
"Funny hearing that from you," Kintarou sang.
"You piece of-"
"Ryoma kun!!"
Sakuno, just getting into the tennis courts, walked uneasily to her boyfriend.
"How did the tryouts go today?" Sakuno asked sweetly.
"Sakuno chan!!" Kintarou cried. He quickly replaced Ryoma with Sakuno, grabbing at her hands like a lost child.
"Yes Kintarou kun?" Sakuno looked at him.
"I didn't make the team!!" Kintarou cried and once again he bawled.
Sakuno dissapprovingly looked at Ryoma, similiar to a look a mother had when her child was unfairly scolded.
"He was three hours late," Ryoma muttered, backing off a little, "There's no excuse."
Ryoma was shuffling his feet. He wasn't used to Sakuno's dissapproving stare, mainly because it was usually the other way around. However nowadays Sakuno seemed to be growing more of a backbone.
Though, Ryoma was still unsure if this was good or not.
Sighing, Sakuno patted Kintarou's back, "Why don't you let him on the team Ryoma kun? He is your best friend."
"Where is everyone getting that notion?!" Ryoma yelled.
The courts went silent.
XXXXXXX
"Finally schools' out!!" Kintarou yelled happily.
Ryoma didn't reply. He decided his tennis racket was worth more of his time than Kintarou.
"So what are you going to do today Koshimae?" Kintarou asked innocently.
The tennis courts were only a few steps away, Ryoma thought anxiously. He started tapping his feet, but not out of unease as Kintarou saw it.
"Hmm??" Kintarou leaned in, "Tennis practice you say? Lucky you."
Sighing, Ryoma only knew too well the game Kintarou was trying to play. So in return, Ryoma turned his head and started to bounce the tennis ball on his racket. Anyone passing by would've felt Kintarou's childish glare at Ryoma, who in contrast looked like he didn't care at all.
"Where is she?" Ryoma muttered.
"Why don't you go on ahead?" Kintarou smiled, "Now that I'm not on the tennis team I get to have Sakuno chan all to myself!"
"You're right," Ryoma smirked, "I'll just go and play tennis with all the Seigaku team. Doesn't that sound fun?"
"You jerk!!" Kintarou yelled. Jealously dripped from his tongue.
"Tch. Made Made Dane."
"I'm going to steal Sakuno chan from under you just you wa-"
"What are you two doing now?"
Horio looked uninterested at the two tennis players. Both looked ready to jump each others' necks.
Ryoma quickly regained his posture and looked off the side. Kintarou had the grace to look a bit flushed.
Scratching the back of his head, Kintarou smiled at Horio, "Everyday I, being the super cool guy that I am, pick up Sakuno from her classes after school!"
Kintarou gave a triumphant look to Ryoma, who was trying to seem nonchalant.
Horio looked uneasily between the two.
"Sakuno?" Horio said, "I saw her walking off with someone."
"She must've left with Tomoka," Kintarou muttered, "Dang it."
"No..." Horio muttered, "I'm pretty sure it was a guy she was walking with..."
If Horio could take back what he said, he would. For the atmosphere suddenly turned cold and a killing aura erupted from the two tennis players.
"...WHAT?!"
XXXXXXX
Sakuno looked up from where she was standing.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Marui asked.
"Nothing," Sakuno shook her head, "I just though I heard something."
Marui Bunta grinned. Sakuno smiled back.
"Thanks for helping me on such short notice Sakuno chan," Marui said off handedly.
Checking the weight of a pear, Sakuno said, "It's no trouble Marui san. After all with tennis season starting I'm sure Ryoma kun and Kintarou kun are busy."
Well.
Sakuno was half right.
XXXXXXX
"WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?!"
"I am not following you, I'm following my girlfriend."
"Go to your stupid tennis practice already! Not that I care of course!!"
"I had Horio direct my scheduel for today."
"But-but-but, this is MY time to shine!!"
Ryoma fully glared at Kintarou, who was crying like a five year old. They were both scaling the town map for any places Sakuno would rendevous with her male friend. Kintarou took it upon himsef to nickname the male friend as "Danger Man."
"Danger Man must be taking her here!" Kintarou dynamically pointed, "That place us secluded enough to-"
"To what?" Ryoma looked at Kintarou incredulously, "Kikumaru senpai probably kidnapped Sakuno again and took her out to eat."
The idea registered in Kintarou's mind and immediately he lit up.
"He actually does that!? Can he kidnap me too?!"
"Don't be an idiot," Ryoma stated. Although, the idea didn't seem too bad.
"Just call up the Seigaku regulars!!" Kintarou asked with stars in his eyes, "They can tell us where Sakuno is!!"
"No," Ryoma immediately answered.
He turned and walked away, leaving a bewildered Kintarou in mid jump.
"What?!" Kintarou asked as he ran up to Ryoma. He patted the Prince on the back, "Why not?!"
Ryoma glared at Kinatrou.
"...What?"
"Those guys," Ryoma hissed through teeth, "Are the last people we want to contact."
"Why?" Kintarou asked. When Ryoma turned away, Kintarou then repeated himself twenty times.
Having enough, Ryoma magically took out his racket, pining Kinatrou by the neck, and stared down at him.
"Just.Don't. Ask."
If it was anyone other than Kinatrou, the hard ass attitude would be enough to scare anyone away. However, much to Ryoma's dry joy, it was Kintarou that was there and instead of backing off the subject, as soon as Ryoma took away the racket Kintarou asked,
"So why can't we ask the regulars?"
In his innocent, annoying voice of course.
Ryoma gave Kintarou a hard stare and turned away.
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because!"
"Because wh-"
"Six dates," Ryoma immediately gave in. He turned his head away and began to rub his temples.
Kintarou, oblivious to giving Ryoma a major headache, cocked his head.
"What?"
"Six dates," Ryoma repeated, "If not counting the times I walked Ryuuzaki home we've only had six dates."
"...Haven't you and Sakuno chan been dating since middle school?" Kintarou asked. Now this was getting interesting.
Ryoma muttered something inaudible. Kintarou leaned in.
"What did you say Koshimae?"
"...They... Followed us..."
"Who?" Kintarou asked.
Punching a nearby wall, Ryoma glared into the imaginary foe in front of him, "Not only did those sadistic bastards follow us but they took pictures too, and every-damn-thing was recorded in that notebook."
Okay, now Kintarou was a little freaked out. He reached to comfort Ryoma but as soon as his hand touched Ryoma's back, the Prince directed his glare at him.
"You...okay Koshimae?" Kintarou nervously asked.
"And Fuji senpai was the worst," Ryoma continued. He took a step closer to Kintarou.
'Bad sign, bad sign, bad sign!' Kintarou thought as he edged backwards.
"He tutored Ryuuzaki in her own home, with her own text books, while sitting on her own bed." Ryoma hissed.
Kintarou's back hit the opposing wall and he paled considerably.
His voice dropping to a whisper, Ryoma said, "And she cooked for him."
And as Kintarou was on the verge of fainting, suddenly everything was okay as Ryoma swiftly turned around and adjusted his hat.
"If I ever asked my Senpai about Sakuno I wouldn't here the end of it," Ryoma shrugged, "But if you insist..."
"No!" Kintarou almost screamed, "We can look for her ourselves!"
Ryoma didn't smile- he smirked at Kintarou, and walked away with the cockiest look ever.
It was then Kintarou decided,
Echizen Ryoma,
was a devil.
XXXXXXX
The Sun was dimming now and Sakuno was just letting herself out of the Marui household.
"That cake was awesome!!" Marui exclaimed as he opened the door for Sakuno.
"Thank you," Sakuno said, "If you need anymore help just call me."
"Oh wait," Marui said and he ran inside. Finally coming out, he shrugged a jacket on, "Let me walk you home."
"You don't have to."
Marui winked, "Gotta be nice to the ladies."
"You just want my cake."
Marui laughed warmly and pat Sakuno's head, "You're so cute. Any chance of dumping Echizen for a real man?"
"Don't be mean," Sakuno pushed Marui's hand away, "Ryoma kun is an excellent boyfriend."
"Uh huh," Marui smiled. He motioned Sakuno and the two started to walk together.
Earlier that day Marui had surprised Sakuno by being the first to arrive at her classroom. With a lady killer smile he asked Sakuno on how to prepare a cake with the taste of pears- not for himself, but since his mother had just as much as a sweet tooth as he did.
Sakuno agreed, assuming that Kintarou was going to be with Ryoma, who in turn was busy with tennis.
It was always like that anyways.
"It's always about tennis," Sakuno thought out loud.
"What do you mean?" Marui asked.
Sakuno blushed, "Sorry I was thinking out loud."
"No problem," Marui said, then he grinned, "Penny for your thoughts?"
"Or two," Sakuno smiled, "I was just thinking how all my friends are so easily side tracked when it comes to tennis."
"Just like Echizen?" Marui added in a very sneaky voice.
This time Sakuno couldn't defend Ryoma so she just laughed. However after a moment she sighed.
"Just like Ryoma kun."
XXXXXXX
Just how much energy did this guy have?!
Not only did Kintarou have hidden (Or not so hidden) talents for scaling light poles, ducking effortlessly from traffic, and jumping people, he had an uncanny ability to talk non stop.
"So why can't I join the team?" Kintarou asked. At this point Ryoma assumed that Kintarou wasn't even interested at the answer. He was just that talkative.
"You were three hours late," Ryoma bit out. It was amazing Ryoma was able to last three hours with Kintarou.
They searched all of the typical date areas (The movies, the park), even going as far to Sakuno's favorite bakery (Which was miles away thank you).
Now the two found them selves at their wit ends.
A.K.A the mall.
"Wow this mall is so huge!!" Kintarou yelled. He raised his hands to the tall cielings.
Ryoma shrugged.
"Okay!" Kintarou, determined after chasing after a man with a balloon, "Where should we start first, Koshimae?!"
For once in the entire day, Ryoma looked dumbfounded.
"...What?"
"Well this mall is huge," Kintarou motioned by making a large gap with his arms, "And since you know Sakuno best you should know where she shops right?"
If it was possible Ryoma looked even more confused than before.
However, Ryoma couldn't allow Kintarou to see his weakness, no, Ryoma turned around and coughed into his hand.
"Well?"
Couldn't he just wait five minutes?! Ryoma darted his eyes around the mall. He was not in his comfort zone. This called for some serious improv, something that Ryoma always did just the trick.
"That store," Ryoma said. He pointed randomly to the second level.
Ryoma failed to comprehend that improv worked well in tennis, but trying to find your girlfriend's favorite store?
"Sakuno likes to shop at... Hot Topic?" Kintarou asked.
"...I meant the other shop," Ryoma muttered, trying to save himself.
"Oh! You mean... GameStop?" Kintarou corrected, "Wow never thought of Sakuno chan as a gamer. Hey! We can see if the new Mario game is out!!"
"No I meant-"
Too late. Kintarou was already dragging Ryoma up the escalator.
XXXXXXX
"Hey, isn't that Ochibi?"
Fuji looked up from his book and at Eiji. Following the red head's gaze, Fuji found that indeed, there was Ryoma with some sort of controller being shoved at his face. His face looked pained, almost blanching.
"That's Kintarou kun too," Fuji smiled, "It seems Echizen is actually bonding with someone."
"Whose with who?" Momoshiro asked. He only caught the last part of the conversation.
"Remember that red head who was all over Sakuno chan?" Eiji grinned. At Momoshiro nod, "Well him and Ochibi are hanging out over there in that Gaming place."
Momoshiro made an "O" with his mouth.
"No way."
Eiji nodded, "Nya way! And as the Senpai we are we should go check up on them!"
Momoshiro sighed, "No matter how many years pass, old habits bite hard."
There was a series of nods before the trio eagerly sneaked towards the shop.
XXXXXXX
"You're cheating!!" Kintarou yelled.
"Pay attention to your life gauge idiot," Ryoma countered.
They were playing the example games that GameStop so nicely laid out for them. Well, Kintarou was, then he dragged Ryoma into with with a series of pride probbing comments.
And damn Ryoma with his pride.
"No, no, no, no!" Kintarou half yelled as Ryoma's character punched his.
"Mada mada dane," Ryoma smirked.
"I'm not down yet!!" Kintarou yelled. As this was said his character suddenly uncovered a "Limit" attack. So in a last chance punch, Kintarou closed his eyes, and hit the buttons in the most random order he could think.
As Kintarou said before, he truly did have dumb luck. For his character had a triple gauge attack and knocked Ryomas' out fo the ring and out of the game.
An awkward silence filled GameStop, but then Kintarou had to ruin it by yelling, "BOO YAH KYA!"
The silence seemed even more awkward now, with Kintarou staring at the screen with his hands raised up.
"...The fuck?"Ryoma broke the silence.
"I won!" Kintarou danced. He wiggled his hips.
Ryoma, ashamed, laid his controller down, staring at it like it was a traitor.
"Don't forget your promise!" Kintarou sang.
"I didn't make any promise," Ryoma said.
Kintarou gasped, "We made a promise Koshimae! And that was if I won you would let me on the team!"
Staring in disbelief Ryoma answered, "I never made that promise!"
"It was agreed!"
"When!?"
"You know..." Kintarou muttered and whispered, "I thought it was... you know, assumed."
Ryoma was astounded, "How... could we have made a bet without talking?"
"Because we're best friends!!"
"Where is everyone getting that idea?!"
"Well," Kintarou shook his head, "I've been through you in the rough times."
Ryoma deadpanned, "What rough times?"
"Come on..." Kintarou scratched his head, "Like that time... Sakuno chan was... missing?"
Realisation reflected on both of their eyes.
"That's happening right now idiot," Ryoma said and he brushed past Kintarou and out of the store.
"Hey wait up!!"
Kintarou ran to catch up with Ryoma. In a lazy swing, he slung his arms around Ryoma's shoulders and grinned.
"So where to next?"
Ryoma shrugged, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Kintarou was surprised, "Don't you know where your girlfriend shops? I mean, on your dates-"
"I told you we only had six dates," Ryoma snapped. He rudely shoved Kintarou's arm off, "And the last date it was at Kiddie Land with our Middle School class."
Grinning, Kintarou leaped for joy, "I love Kiddie Land!!"
Too tired to comment, and too tired to run away, Ryoma sighed.
"Could've fooled me..."
XXXXXXX
Meanwhile three tennis players stared incredulously after the duo.
"Wow," Fuji smiled, "They really are best friends aren't they?"
"Didn't they mention Sakuno chan missing?!" Eiji said excitedly, "This is too good!"
"Let's follow them some more," Momoshiro grinned, "Good thing I brought my digital camera today."
"Sweet."
XXXXXXX
"Hey I've been thinking."
"Be careful with that."
"I'm serious!!" Kintarou yelled.
Ryoma looked blankly at Kintarou with one eye brow perfectly raised.
"I mean, don't you feel sad you haven't taken Sakuno out in a while?"
"We're comfortable," Ryoma muttered, "Ryuuzaki understands that I have tennis."
Kintarou looked unsure, "But was does Sakuno chan have?"
They met eye to eye then.
Then softly, Ryoma said, "I don't know."
Looking even more unsure, Kintarou said, "You don't know a lot about her do you?"
Ryoma didn't reply.
Seeing that Ryoma was silent, Kintarou continued, "You know, I thought that it would take a few minutes for us to find her but... if Sakuno chan was kidnapped you wouldn't know the first place to look would you?"
The comment made Ryoma aggitated, so the Prince glared, full and hard at Kintarou before walking the other way.
"Hey wait up!" Kintarou yelled, "If you want I can take her on dates- you know, in your place!"
"Don't think about it," Ryoma muttered darkly.
"But we had an agreement!"
"Silent agreements don't count!"
XXXXXXX
To say that Sakuno was surprised to find two boys collasped in front of her door was an understatement.
To add to their fatigue, Kintarou looked like he was about to cry at the sight of her where as Ryoma was glaring holes into her head.
What in the world happened to her boys?!
"Uhm..." Sakuno muttered, "Hello?"
"Is that all you have to say?!"
"Thank God!!"
Both comments were said at the same time. Only Kintarou actually moved and tightly hugged Sakuno.
Enveloped now and very confused, Sakuno unsure, rubbed Kintarou's back.
"Ano..." Sakuno looked up for help from Ryoma but stopped.
Unlike the glare or coldness she expected from him, Ryoma was now looking at her with the same expression- unsure and a bit nervous. When he noticed her stare he quickly regained his posture and bounced on his heels, a habit he developed from tennis.
"Where were you after school?!" Kintarou yelled, "Koshimae and I looked all over the place!!"
"I was teaching my friend a cake recipie," Sakuno said. She looked at Ryoma for confirmation, "You know Marui Bunta san?"
Recognition reflected in Ryoma's eyes, "Oh, I remember him." Pause. "I beat him once in a tennis match."
"Yes, yes," Sakuno smiled warmly, "I should've known you would remember him from tennis."
Something unfamiliar flashed through Ryoma's eyes then but before Sakuno could digest it, Kintarou pulled her away.
"So he's a nice guy?"
"Like family," Sakuno smiled.
Kintarou mimicked her and grinned. He looked at Ryoma, "See? Nothing to worry about!"
"You were the one who was crying," Ryoma muttered.
"Don't listen to him," Kintarou winked at Sakuno, "He was the one who rang the doorbell."
Sakuno laughed as Kintarou earned a punch from Ryoma.
"Go home idiot," Ryoma said.
"But I want to spend some time with my girl!!" Kintarou whined.
"Just go!" Ryoma snapped.
Kintarou jumped. He turned to walk away, but not before flipping Sakuno towards him and giving her a very loud smooch on the forehead.
Ryoma was already in mid smack before Kintarou ran away.
"Ryoma kun," Her soft voice brought Ryoma back into reality.
He turned stiffly towards her.
She really was cute, Ryoma took notice. Of course he's noticed that since middle school. Her hair, although annoyingly long, suited her just fine. Large chestnut eyes to match the child like figure she had. But the little tweak of matureness made her all the more alluring. Give one or two more years to this late bloomer and Sakuno was going ot grow into a beautiful lady.
"Are in trouble Ryoma kun?"
Ryoma looked at her eyes, "You can always tell."
Sakuno cocked her head, much in the familiar fashion Kintarou did when he was confused.
"Pardon?"
"What's my favorite food?" Ryoma suddenly asked.
Caught of guard, Sakuno still answered, "You like onigiri."
"Favorite drink?"
Sakuno giggled, "I think that's no secret Ryoma kun."
Ryoma nodded, then asked, "What's my favorite store?"
The way he peered at her, almost accusingly seemed comical that Sakuno giggled into her hand. At that moment Ryoma decided that Sakuno always had a really sweet laugh (Though "Sweet" wasn't the exact word he used).
"You like the bookstore," Sakuno said and at Ryoma's shocked face, continued, "I know you would say "Sports Store", but you always lit up when we went into a bookstore."
She leaned in, "And I know you secretly like to read American novels... so that no one can read over your shoulder in class."
Ryoma swallowed. She knew him so well and not in the stalker esque way either. She could read him like reading a book, out and open, but she read confidently, and she read well. Even if Ryoma could try to close himself up she would peel him peice by piece until finding what was wrong.
Finally, Ryoma straightened his back, "Ryuuzaki, I was I wasn't... here where would I be?"
Sakuno looked up, "At home?"
"No," Ryoma said, "I wasn't home- wasn't at school- or tennis, I was just gone... and you had to find me."
This seemed to out of character, even for Ryoma himself, but the Prince continued anyways, "Where would you go to look for me?"
Sakuno pondered, "Well, if you aren't at your house... tennis... school..."
Ryoma hung by her words, "Well?"
Sakuno smiled, "You must be with me then, right?"
The world seemed to be still for a moment and in that moment. Sakuno looked at Ryoma, blushing a little by her answer. The silence almost evolved into extreme awkwardness. Ryoma was obviously startled, but saved himself by looking off to the ground.
"I see."
The brilliant words used at Ryoma to break the silence.
After a few more seconds Ryoma muttered, "I should get home."
Sakuno smiled, understanding, "Okay. I'll see you tomorow Ryoma kun."
Ryoma nodded.
"So it's agreed." He said.
Sakuno looked cofused, "What is agreed?"
"We're going to see that new movie this Saturday."
Now it was Sakuno's turn to be startled.
"Like... a date?"
"Yes," Ryoma snapped.
Suddenly Sakuno beamed, her smile was spread across her face like a sign to see. Her eyes were glittering and it all happened so fast that by the time Ryoma realised she was hugging him he couldn't respond.
Which was fine because the hug didn't last for long at all, Sakuno parted and smiled so brightly at Ryoma.
"I'll pack lunch," She said, "I can't wait."
"Yeah," Ryoma struggled to keep his cool, "Me either."
Sakuno grinned.
Maybe, Ryoma thought, since they were in High School they could have a real date this time. No Seigaku regulars followiing them around with cameras, note pads, gossip...
Ryoma honestly thought it was going to be okay.
XXXXXXX
"What?! Koshimae is going on a date with her?!"
"Sssh... Quiet down Kintarou kun."
"Sorry Fuji senpai!"
"Nyaaa... we're going to have to tail them on this date- OH IT'S GOING TO BE FUN."
"I can't wait. We gotta tell the others' about this."
"Yes. Inui will be very happy about this new information."
Kintarou stared at the three Seigaku Regulars in awe. After running into and hiding with them in the bushes he came down to this conclusion:
Koshimae was cazy- these guys were the coolest kids in town.
XXXXXXX
The next day Kintarou waited obidiently in front of Ryoma's house.
"Come on Koshimae!!" Kintarou yelled, "I made you lunch!!"
Ryoma ran out of the house then, buttoning his school uniform. He glared at Kintarou and snatched the lunch box from his hands.
"I want Ryuuzaki to make lunch for me again." Ryoma snapped.
"Too bad," Kintarou stuck out his tongue.
They were silent for a while, both enjoying the walk to Sakunos'. For once, this time, it was Ryoma who broke the silence.
"You're on the team."
There was a long pause before Kintarou looked at Ryoma.
"What did you say?"
Ryoma immediately looked away, "Bring your gear after school- we have practice today."
If Sakuno looked happy to hear news of their date, than Kintarou matched her look and more. He jumped on Ryoma, hugging him in what Ryoma hoped was the manliest way possible.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou," Kintarou said.
Ryoma nodded dryly and patted Kintarou's back, for some reason regretting a little bit of what he did.
After another heart felt moment, Kintarou held Ryoma's at arms length and grinned.
"So when do I get to play matches?"
It was then Ryoma smiled, so something had to be up.
"Who said anything about you playing matches?" Ryoma said and at Kintarou's fault face continued, "You said you wanted to be on the team so you are. But since you are a transfer you would have to wait until placement matches to get the chance to be a Regular."
"So... that means..."
"You will be practicing with the first years," Ryoma confirmed Kintarou's thoughts, "Have fun picking up tennis balls."
"Wait!!" Kintarou whined, "I never agreed to be in with the first years!!"
"Of course you did," Ryoma said off handedly and moved forward.
"When did I agree?!"
Ryoma turned and smirked, "You know... it was kind of assumed."
Ryoma continued to walk as Kintarou gawked after him,
"Silent agreements don't count!!"
"Mada mada dane."
EPISODE THREE- END.
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 (9:00 PM)
UGHHH SHUSH. I've had the first part of this chapter written back in like... late Febuary/early March.
I'm really, really sorry for all the grammar/spelling mistakes. If there if anything else please tell me and I will try my best to fix the error.
Thank you so much for the support! And also thank you for the patience. This chapter was hard to write for some reason, to the point I think I added more OOC than usual.
And I do read every single review. I was very surprised by how many people liked KINSAKU XDDDDD I root for them too! And maybe I'll do another fic on them, though it would probably be a one shot since I can't handle too many multi chapter fics it seems.
Please support me :)
