Thanks for the reviews!
So, this is mostly about Ukyou and her wrist in the other chapter --
Ukyou-Taisuke

Ukyou lay in her bed after dinner, thinking about the mistake she'd made while playing Ryoma. She stared at her wrist and saw the red area swelling. She needed cold water. Now. She got up and swung her legs around to land onto the floor.
The pain in her wrist started throbbing again, and she glared at it furiously. She tiptoed past the washroom; Ryoma was in there brushing his teeth. Karupin, the family's loyal cat spotted her and meowed. Ukyou silenced him and padded down the stairs, Karupin following at her heels.
She went to the kitchen sink and turned the tap on. Cold water rushed out, and Ukyou shoved her wrist under the faucet. She sighed, feeling a bit better. Karupin meowed again and nuzzled Ukyou's ankle.
"Shh...Karu..." Ukyou warned, looking towards the stairs. No one. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ukyou-chan? What are you doing down here?"
Ukyou gulped and turned around. Nanako. She looked at her cousin with wide eyes and decided to make an excuse. "Um...er...I just...wanted to get...water! Yeah, water. I'm fine, Nanako. You can go back to sleep."
Nanako looked relieved. "Before when I heard you going down the stairs, I thought it was a burglar or something. It never crossed my mind that it would be you!"
The two girls laughed quietly. Ukyou froze when her wrist brought her more unbearable pain. Right, water. "Nanako, you can go back to sleep. I just want to wash my hands, so I'll be right up."
"Alright. Good night." Nanako turned for the stairs and picked Karupin up on the way.
Ukyou looked after and made sure she was gone before putting her wrist back under the running water. It didn't help much. The pink skin was turning slightly purple and red. She knew she needed rehabilitation, but there wasn't much she could do now.
She made her way back up the stairs. She needed to get treated by someone soon.

Ryoma had been watching quietly from the stairs when Ukyou had gone down. When he saw Nanako coming, he'd hid in the washroom. He knew it. There was something wrong with her wrist. He widened his eyes. She was coming.
He moved quietly to their room and pretended to be reading a tennis magazine. Ukyou entered the room a few seconds after, and she looked at Ryoma. "You usually never read tennis magazines. Something wrong with you?"
Ryoma cursed inwardly. Uh oh... He put the magazine down and sighed. "Just felt bored, that's all. I couldn't sleep." At least he was good at lying.
Ukyou left it alone at that. Ryoma was a person not to argue with. Because no matter how hard she tried, he'd always win. At everything.
"Turn off the lights, Ukyou."
"Hmph. I'm not your servant."
"Do it."
A sigh was heard. "Yeah, yeah."

"No."
"Aw...come on!"
"No way."
"Ryo, stop being a bum!"
"I was born that way."
"Ryo!"
Ryoma glared at her and walked out of the room. Ukyou walked after him. "Is it so hard just for you to say that you like Ryuzaki?"
Another glare. " I do NOT like that old hag."
"Not THAT one! Ryuzaki Sakuno! Who'd like the grandma at this age?" Ukyou reasoned.
"Oyaji."
"...He doesn't count as a person."
Oishi's voice rang in the courts. "Freshmen get the nets and tennis balls! Echizen, Ukyou-chan, come here please."
The twins ran over to where the rest of the regulars were.
"We're going to do speed and accuracy drills. Ukyou-chan, you know this drill. The coloured tennis balls and the cones?"
"Yup!"
"Alright! Let's get started! Fuji and Kikumaru! On the courts!"
Fuji smiled his creepy smile again. "Eiji, let's try our best."
Eiji bounced up and down happily. "Nya, Fujiko! I won't lose to Inui this time, nya!"
Inui smiled. "Oh, really? Kikumaru, you were always so gullible."
"Are not!"
"Are too."
"Not!"
"Too."
"I SAID..."
"Eiji!" Oishi cut in, embarrassed.
Ukyou sighed. Here we go again...
