CHAPTER 15
It was like slow motion when Tezuka grab Richiyo's wrist and pull her protectively in his arms
Well~ that's what on everyone's point of view but on Richiyo's view
Tezuka glare coldly at Richiyo as his arms were wrap onto to Richiyo's mouth and small waist. Preventing her to do anything stupid
Richiyo glared back at Tezuka, they are both glaring at each other
"I need to talk to you… now" Tezuka whispered with a same stoic tone
" I DON'T WANT .to" Richiyo hissed beneath Tezuka's hand as she
STOMP!
Richiyo step on Tezuka's foot, painfully. Being Tezuka he is composed his same stoic face, but unknown to everyone his left eye twitch as his hold slowly loosen… Richiyo gave a victory smirk at her mortal enemy ready to run loose but… Tezuka was able to grab her back collar and drag her somewhere before she can complain
"UGHHHHHH LET ME GO!"
It was just like that they both disappear from everyone's sight
"W-what?" Eiji ask
"The hell?" Momo continued
"WAS THAT?" almost everyone echoed, leaving them clue less
Out with Tezuka and Richiyo:
"LET ME GO! YOU STUPID FOUR EYED COLONEL" Tezuka let the fiery Richiyo let go, making her collapse on the ground, Richiyo glared at Tezuka
Tezuka just gave her a cold stoic look
Richiyo 'hmph' and was about to make a run but… Tezuka prevented her by grabbing her back collar again
"UGHH WHAT NOW, what do you want?
"Will you stop yelling" Tezuka can snap coldly
"I CAN YELL ALL I CAN FREAKING WANT" Richiyo glared "WHAT DO YOU WANT?, DIDN'T I MADE IT CLEAR TEZUKA, THAT I'M LEAVING, SO STOP preventing me to"
"Will you stop and listen to for just a second"
"FINE!..." Richiyo crossed her arms "Times up, bye" Richiyo walk away as Tezuka rolled his eyes and stop her
"What's wrong with you?" he asked
"YOU GUYS ARE, I told you clearly in three years ago, that'll I'll erase everything… I told you I'll change… and yet, you guys have to come and ruin it"
"Its not like we wanted to come here"
"that's the point…I'm just stuck at this, I can never be normal Tezuka, its ruin…As long as I have that stupid Title…THAT STUPID DEMON KING Title, I'll never have a normal life… I know it's a bad idea to accepts that stupid challenge but.. b-but" Richiyo groan and lean her forehead depressingly on the tree's bark
"…"
"I'm so stupid, in the end…I was still thinking… that I like tennis and I was trying to convince myself that….I can still live with it…b-but I was wrong, to have normal life…I really just have to quit tennis for good"
"Why do have to quit something that you love?" Tezuka said suprising Richiyo, Richiyo stare at Tezuka wide eyed
"W-wow, you kinda… change, you soften a little… is it because you won the nationals huh?" Richiyo tease making Tezuka sigh
"You're an idiot"
"Yeah~ unfortunately, a lot of people told me that… really, why did you stop me earlier?" Tezuka look at her seriously as he spoke
"You always let your guard down… and never think before you act…I really don't like that about you"
"Yeah~, I figured that much, when we were a kid"
"But I considered you as my strongest rival when I was younger" Richiyo jaw drop down
"W-wow? Really?"
"You inspire me when we were younger, I like it…when I see you play on the court with no rules, whatsoever… you given me the true meaning of tennis, which is having fun… but"
Richiyo gave a low sigh
"Yeah~ I quit in the middle of our game" Tezuka glare at her
"How could you quit like that? And change your gender" Richiyo vein pop
"I swear I'm tempted to hit you again, Tezuka… you saw me changing clothes once… and you still doubted me"
Tezuka sigh
"Fine, I did know you were a girl… but.."
"but you still treated me like a boy, I don't like that okay~ I want to have normal life…I want to change and I found something I wanted… better than tennis" Richiyo said seriously, looking up into Tezuka's eyes "And you guys… took it away from just a while ago"
"If they were your friends, they'll accept"
"easy for you to say, when I started school… I wasn't really accepted by everyone… so don't put me in the same shoes as you… Being a girl, with a scary personality wasn't a easy life"
"…"
"You're a good looking guy, a team captain and has a cool personality, how could someone like you understand me"
"Richiyo"
"I know… I'm being a baby… b-but, this is what I feel…I want a normal life Tezuka and Tennis can't give me that"
BOINK~
"OWW, stop doing that… I'm not a kid anymore" Richiyo glare at Tezuka who just hit her in the head
"You're view of perspective really suck…when you were demon king, you still have a lot friends… you just fail to see it… because you are looking for something else" Tezuka simply said "Stop blaming tennis for everything~ you are the one who had a problem here… you keep running away"
Richiyo clutch her fist a she got scolded
"Because I don't know how to face it anymore" Richiyo admit looking up to Tezuka in tears, Tezuka's eyes slowly soften as he put a hand on Richiyo
"Crying won't help either" Tezuka softly said as
"UWAAAHHH~~" Richiyo cried like a kid as Tezuka sigh and lifting her up, crying on his arms like a baby
"Really, I'm too old for this" Tezuka sigh holding Richiyo
"S-shut (sniff) up (sniff), you should already be used to this… b-because you are my baby sitter when I was (sniff) younger"
"Aa, lets go back to your dorm"
Richiyo just simple nodded as she stayed carried by Tezuka, who sigh at her
"Ne~ why didn't you help me out, I was asking for help to cover up for me when I was looking at you straight on the eye last night, you should have told them I'm not demon king"
"I did, they just didn't believe me"
"Liar"
Tezuka just sigh and ignored the spoiled brat
"C-colonel"
"what?"
"How's the old man"
"He's fine"
"I miss fishing (sniff) with him"
"and he miss you too"
TBC…
