Ryoma POV

Ugh, why do I have to go to Fuji-senpai's house. Oyaji finally got back and I actually wanted to play him in a match. I didn't get to play any tennis today since Nanako locked me in my room.

"Ryoma, honey, you shouldn't make Fuji-san wait!" Mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

I don't understand why she wants to get me out of the house. I mean, she was just in America with him for-

"Yo, gaki." My dad said and put his hand, aggressively, on my shoulder. The aggresiveness made me stop packing and my heart started to pound. The memory of Nanako's last beating was fresh in my mind and I was beginning to black out.

"Oi, kiddo? You alright?" The sound of Oyaji's voice brought me back into reality. The fact that I was still vulnerable irrritated me.

"I'm fine. I'm going." I said as I grabbed my bag and left my room.

"Che, fine, don't play a match with me." He mumbled as I went down the stairs. No matter how much I wanted to turn around and take him to the courts I couldn't. I actually want to get out of this house.

"Fuji-senpai let's go." I say as I slip my shoes on and open the door.

"Ara! Ryoma! Wait for your Senpai." Mom says in a worried tone.

"That's quit alright Echizan-san." Fuji-senpai then turns to me and says. "I can't wait for our sleepover, Ryoma-kun."

I let out a barely audible grunt and leave Fuji-senpai and my mother at the door.

Fuji POV

After walking in silence for 10 minutes I judged that it's be a good time to start the interrogation."Ne, Ryoma-kun, why weren't you at school today?" I asked with the same smile plastered on my face. Ryoma-kun shot me a glare that is rarely seen off the tennis courts.

"Why do you think, Senpai?"

"Don't be rude little kouhai. I was just wondering what your excuse would be."

"As you know, I was confined in my bedroom and could not get out."

"May I ask how you got there?" And he became silent. He slowed his strides and I could see him mumble something but I didn't hear."What was that?" I asked and I strained my ears.

He stopped walking and turned to me with a blank face and eyes that looked on the verge of tears. "Nanako."

Did he just say Nanako? His cousin that is always so sweet? I can't believe it!

"Ne, senpai." He said catching my attention that was drawn to my own thoughts. "What do you dream about?"
