A/N: To everyone who gave this story their time to read (and review), many, many thanks. I apologize for not updating for two months, and I hope my one-shots made up for the hiatus. However, I plan to rewrite this story. Reading back what I have written and reflecting on how I wrote them made me realize that I could've done better. Thank you very much to those who have been guiding me while I'm in the process of writing. To Frog-kun, AquaJet, The Jabberer, fyerigurl, and SunneRaine, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions, constructive criticism and the sound judgment. To NXYZ Community, thank you for actively taking part in my growth as a writer. To everyone who read and reviewed, thank you for the words of encouragement and support that you've given me. So, as a temporary parting gift, I decided to publish a sneak peek of what I originally intended to write for the seventh chapter.
Disclaimer: Konomi Takeshi owns Prince of Tennis.
It was amusing to watch his grandson deal with women, Kunikazu thought.
Tezuka visibly stiffened at the contact, and even after Yoko pulled away, he had kept his guard on. To the normal person, his stoic face would mean he wasn't the least troubled about the incident, but the slightest crease in his forehead and the smallest narrowing of his eyes were enough for his grandfather to see his inner turmoil.
At the back of his mind, he was debating whether Yoko was a fan girl or not. It was quite rational of him to think so, considering that she suddenly hugged him after doing the small favor of fetching her hat from the water. And as if to confirm his suspicions, she had been staring at him for a while now.
If she were really a fan girl, then he's in for a big headache.
Fortunately for him, that seemed not to be the case. There was something about the way she looked at him that told him she wasn't one of those obsessed girls screaming at the top of their lungs during tennis matches.
She was looking at him, but it felt like she was looking at someone else.
A/N: And the rest will be continued as I publish the rewritten story. There will be a lot of changes, especially regarding Yoko-chan. I'll probably be writing one-shots here and there while I'm writing, so I really hope you would check them out. And of course, I hope you'll still be watching out for the update of the newly improved I Won't Give Up and give it a second chance. Again, thank you so much and sorry for the disappointment. Love, Tensai.
