Okay, this will be my last chapter for the story. I will end it here as there is nothing more I can write from this story.

This story is a bit unrealistic. But I need to do it to end up my whole story.

Elated as Oishi was after winning the match against Kikumaru, he was also worried about how his doubles partner will take the blow. As soon as Kikumaru went down, Oishi ran over to him and tried to comfort the sad and hurt friend. Soon however, Kikumaru began to become more cheerful. Oishi certainly knew how to comfort his doubles partner. Kikumaru wiped his eyes and he smiled.

'Oishi, you have beaten me! You sure have improved since we left Seigaku.' Kikumaru said with sparkling eyes.

'Eiji! You did well too. It was a close game.'

They lay together in the tennis courts till the sun became blazing hot. The heat was unbearable. The golden pair decided to go to the nearby shop for lunch.

The golden pair was happy enjoying their lunch and talking. It seemed that there were still so many things to talk about. Then, Oishi surprised Kikumaru.

'Eiji, there is something that I want to tell you. And I haven't been able to tell you yet.'

'Nya Oishi. What is it?'

'I may be going overseas next week.'

'Wow! You are so lucky Oishi. Where are you going? But why are you going overseas during the school term?'

'Eiji, its not that I am going overseas for a holiday. I meant that I will be immigrating. My family has decided to go to Britain. There are better study opportunities there and they wanted a change of environment. The others don't know yet. I wanted to play a match against you today in case I do not have another chance to play against you again.'

'….' Kikumaru was speechless. It was too hard for him to accept that his doubles partner was leaving Japan forever.

'But Oishi, how are you going to leave behind all that you know and all your friends? And what will become of the golden pair?'

'I have to go if my family decides to go. As for the both of us being the golden pair, even if we are so far apart, we can still be called the golden pair right? The physical distance does not matter. The only thing that matters is that we both know that we will be the golden pair forever.'

There was silence after that. Kikumaru had to slowly think over what Oishi had just told him. The both of them finished their lunch in uncomfortable silence.

'Oka-san. What is the matter?'

'Shuichiro, I need you to come back home immediately. I need to make some last minute plans before we leave next week.'

'Hai'

'Eiji, I'm sorry, I need to go home now. Oka-san has just called.'

'Oishi! I still want to talk to you more. I don't want you to just go like that.'

'I want to talk to you too. But not now. Why don't I call you again tonight?'

'Okay.'

Kikumaru sat rooted to his seat as he saw his doubles partner going out of the door. He had no idea what to do. His mind was in a whirl and he could not accept the fact that Oishi was going to immigrate. Kikumaru slowly went back home and locked himself in his own room. He used his phone and dialed Fuji's number. He needed to tell someone about how he was feeling.

'Fujiko? Is that you? I need to talk to you about something.'

'Go ahead and tell me what is wrong.'

The two good friends chatted over the phone for a long time.

Darkness fell and Kikumaru finally got off the phone with Fuji. He lay down on his bed and wanted to close his eyes. However, his phone started to ring again.

It was Oishi who called and as promised, Oishi talked to Kikumaru. He explained the reasons why he had to leave slowly and patiently to his doubles partner. The golden pair talked on the phone late into the night. It was 3 am before they hung up. Both of them knew that this type of conversation will never happen between the both of them again. The both of them made the most of this conversation.

After talking to Fuji and Oishi, Kikumaru began to accept the things that are happening around him.

A/N: *time flies and I will skip to the day that Oishi had to leave*

Oishi had not told any one else but Kikumaru that he was going away. After all, he decided that there was no need to. He had given Kikumaru the exact time and flight that he was going to take.

As his family and him arrived at the airport, there was no sign of Kikumaru. Oishi signed. The Oishi family checked in and was just about to go off when Oishi heard a familier voice.

'Oishi! Don't go in without saying goodbye to me first!' shouted kikumaru from a distance.

'And don't forget to say goodbye to us too!' shouted just about everyone else in the Seigaku regular team. With the exception of Tezuka who was wearing his usual 'stoic' face.

Oishi turned back and smiled.

'How did you all know that I was leaving? Did Eiji tell you?'

'Yes, he did. Oishi senpai! How could you think of going off forever without saying goodbye to all of us?'

'I just thought that it would be easier if you all didn't know about it.'

'Any way, we have brought a gift for you to remember all of us by. We had hardly any time to prepare a gift for you. But I hope it will be memorable.'

Momoshiro, being the captain of the Seigaku tennis club, went forward and presented Oishi with his gift. A small booklet containing the pictures of all the good times that Oishi and his team had together since Oishi first joined the Seigaku tennis club. At the back were the signatures and well wishes of all the regulars.

Kikumaru then gave Oishi his own gift that he had made for Oishi. A video. A video of the games that they had played together as the one and only golden pair.

Oishi smile at the whole team. He was grateful to all of them.

'Arigato! I will really miss all of you. Thank you so much for your presents.'

'Shuichiro, we must go in now or we will miss the flight.'

'Bye everyone! We can still keep in contact. And I promise that we will meet next month, at Seigaku tennis courts!'

'Goodbye Oishi!'

As Oishi walked away into the distance, the other Seigaku regulars felt sad. It was as if they had lost a team mate. And in a way, they did.

As for Kikumaru, he looked down and tears were flowing from his eyes. He was going to miss Oishi. Hopefully, Oishi will keep his promise and they will all meet again next month. He put his hand inside his pocket and held onto the special marker.
