Karupin pounced on his present when Ukyou had shown it to him, and he'd been playing with it ever since.
Ukyou needed to go back to the hospital to get her wrist checked, and Nanjirou was trying to force her twin brother to come with her, when he repeatedly said he didn't want to.
"Oyaji...I can go by myself!" Ukyou complained, while Ryoma was glaring daggers at his father.
"Why do I have to go?"
Nanjirou just tapped his head with his brown tennis racket and grinned goofily. "Because I said so. Now get out! Out!" He shoved the racket against Ryoma's back and smiled sheepishly when Ryoma turned his head slowly to reveal fire glowing in his cat eyes.
Ukyou rolled her eyes and pushed the door open. "Ittekimasu!" she shouted, running off in the direction of the hospital.
Ryoma stayed behind, having beaten his father in a death glaring contest. He walked up the stairs slowly, and Karupin, holding the rubber mouse by the tail, followed him. He went into the room and lay down on his bed quietly. His eyes wandered around and landed on a picture taken not too long ago.
It was a few months, probably, when it was taken. They were all at Kawamura Sushi, celebrating. And the annoying photographer, Shiba-san, had wanted a photo with him. The girl, Ryuzaki Sakuno, was sitting on the other side of him. Then, Momoshiro and Kikumaru, somehow, had gotten into a fight, and they pushed over the girl, who pushed Ryoma, who pushed Shiba-san out of the picture, and the couple, Ryoma and Sakuno, had gotten a picture taken together.
Shiba-san had given the picture to him as a gift, and he took it simply to shut her up. She went, blabbing about how he and Sakuno made the best couple, and he remembered Ukyou giggling uncontrollably at the side.
He took the picture frame and dusted it off gently. Karupin 'meowed' and rubbed against Ryoma's leg. Ryoma jumped slightly and almost dropped the picture frame, along with the picture. He sighed and placed the picture back.
Memories don't last forever...or do they?

Ukyou ran to the bus station and waited. She could see the street tennis courts from that particular angle. She smiled wistfully and stared at her wrist.
"I blame you," she stated bluntly.

"Toujikumo-sensei...I feel better now! Honest!" She waved her arms in the air, trying to imitate a completely healthy person.
Toujikumo looked at her disbelievingly. "Your wrist's condition got worse, and you're trying to tell me that it's all better?"
"...Yes?"
The sensei promptly banged her head on her desk. She stayed like that for a few moments, and Ukyou just stared at her.
"Uh, Sensei?"
Toujikumo raised her head slowly, showing a red mark on her forehead. "Okay, I need you to visit me twice every month. Stop pushing that wrist! Or else I'll have to ban you from playing tennis!"
Ukyou widened her eyes and knelt down in front of the baffled doctor. "Onegai, Sensei! Please, please don't ban me from playing tennis! I don't want that! No!" She shook her head profusely.
A sigh was heard, and Ukyou lifted her head, seeing the doctor's gesture for her to stand up. She obeyed immediately.
Toujikumo pointed to the exit. "Out. Now. Before I really ban you from playing tennis."
"Yes, Ma'am!" And being the incredibly clumsy person she was, she half-crashed into the door (1). "Ow!"
"Out."
"Yes, Ma'am."

"Must...not...a-anger...evil...doctor...!" Ukyou muttered as she made her way down the hallways. Then, from inside a room, she saw a doctor's white jacket, hanging loose on a chair.
Ukyou's eyes gleamed. She'd always wanted to wear one of those things! She crept inside, trying to look professional, and swiped the jacket from the chair. She put it on and looked down at herself. She danced around the room. "Success!" she cheered.
"Ukyou-chan, right? What are you doing here...?"
Ukyou gulped. 30 seconds with the white jacket, and she'd been caught! She turned around slowly and nearly fell over in utter shock.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-Y..."
"Yes...?"
"Y-Y-YUKIMURA-SAN!" she squeaked. "What are you doing here...?"
He cocked a delicate eyebrow. "I could ask the same."
"Uh..." She began, flushing pink. This is no time for storytelling! What did I do to get myself into this strange situation?!

"I see," Yukimura mused, a hand under his chin in deep thought.
"Y-Yeah..." Ukyou fiddled with her fingers.
Then he brightened and changed the subject. "Oh, yes! I heard from Renji that Seigaku's Regulars are matchmaking a pair?"
Ukyou blinked. "Renji...?"
"The person who always has his eyes closed."
"Oh!" Ukyou snapped her fingers. "The Blind Genius-san!"
"...Blind Genius?" Yukimura chuckled.
"Yeah! But how in the heck does he know?"
"I think your senpai, Inui-san, told him or something. I'm not too sure myself about where those two get personal information."
"Ah..."
The two sat there for a while in complete silence.
"By the way, Ukyou-chan?"
"Mmhmm?"
"Why are you wearing a doctor's coat?"
Whoops! I forgot to take it off! Ukyou thought, panicking in her mind. She took off the piece of clothing and threw it back onto the chair where she found it. She laughed sheepishly.
Yukimura watched her in interest as Ukyou turned a darker shade of red.
"Well...uh...you see..."
Yukimura laughed. "I think I can imagine that one out."
Ukyou's face flushed a deeper shade of red. Hoo boy...
