Chapter 6

Since he didn't know any German Fuji was forced to wander around till he finally found the tennis courts. There were indoor courts and outdoor courts, Fuji chose to go to the outdoor courts there were very few people on the courts so it wasn't hard for Fuji to find an empty place with a ball launcher.

"Hey there," A pretty red headed girl with sullen grey eyes called out to Fuji. Finally, someone who spoke a language he knew.

He smiled at the girl, "hello."

"Care to play a match against me? Nobody wants to play against me since I'm a girl." She glared at the tennis courts over her shoulder. "Tch, jackasses." she returned her gaze to Fuji. "So?"

Fuji continued to smile, "Sure." He followed her to one of the open courts, unlike the courts in his school these courts had no fences to prevent balls from flying away. Already there was a judge waiting in the seat.

"Ah, Sophia, you found another victim." The referee said from his seat.

"Just shut up and judge Vincent." She glared at him. "I'm Sophia." She told Fuji as they both approached the net.

"I'm Fuji Syusuke, let's have a good match." They shook hands before they returned to their positions.

"One set match, Sophia to serve." Vincent called out.

Her first serve went right past Fuji's face. He stared at the ball, "Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl." She called out to him. Fuji just smiled with his eyes gently closed.

Sophia's anger flared, she tossed the ball. I'll wipe that smile off your face. To her astonishment Fuji returned her serve easily. She was so shocked she barely returned the ball. The game went on with Fuji being able to take easy points after rallying.

Game count was 3-0 so far and Sophia was leaning over hands on her knees panting. She raised her head and glared at Fuji who was still smiling, he's toying with me. She raised herself and pointed her racket at Fuji, "next game is mine." Fuji's reply was to simply widen his smile to show his teeth.



Fifteen minutes later Sophia was finally able to take from him two games. She smiled smugly at Fuji, "I told you not to underestimate me."

Meanwhile Rin climbed out of the car and ran straight to the suit she and Fuji shared, he wasn't there. After asking around, she was told that he was in the tennis courts. Finally at the courts she began searching in every court until she spotted his light brown hair. "Fuji-kun!" she called out as she ran to reach him.

Rin's jinx around the tennis courts finally caught up to her. A ball flew past her face causing her to jump back and cry out in shock. She took a step back and stepped on a tennis ball causing her to lose her balance and fall backwards.

Hearing his name Fuji got distracted and Sophia managed to get a point, earning her another game. Fuji looked around for who had called him and spotted Rin running towards him just as a stray ball was heading towards her. His body simply reacted as he dropped his racket and ran to her when he saw she was falling, catching her in the nick of time.

Rin clenched her eyes shut waiting for her body to hit the hard floor but it didn't. Instead she felt strong arms lifting her off her feet. Her eyes snapped open and she saw Fuji's face hovering over hers. "Are you alright?"

Her body tingled where he touched her, she felt warm and protected, and he smelled nice too. Her face flushed with embarrassment all she could do was nod.

Fuji set her back on her feet again. "Was there something you wanted to tell me?"

Rin forgot all about her little mishap and became excited again, "I was accepted and they put me in the highest level course." She took Fuji's hands in hers, "thank you." She smiled at him tenderly.

Fuji's heart was beating fast; the way she was looking at him made his stomach flutter. He smiled as he said "for what? I didn't do anything."

"Excuse me we were in the middle of a match." Rin looked over Fuji's shoulder and was shocked to see a stunning red head glaring at her. The girl grabbed Fuji's arm and dragged him back to the court, "you can rendezvous with your girlfriend later."

Rin was infuriated she grabbed onto Fuji's other arm and pulled him to her, "first of all I'm not his girlfriend, and second, we were still talking you ill-mannered girl."

Sophia pulled Fuji back to her, "ill-mannered? You should talk; you're the one who interrupted our game."



Rin pulled on Fuji's arm, "I had something important to tell him."

Soon the girls were playing tug-o-war with Fuji stuck in the middle. Vincent who couldn't bear watching the poor guy suffer anymore decided to step in. "girls, girls. Can't you see Fuji is in pain?" he stepped back when the girls glared daggers at him.

However they both looked at Fuji. His eyes were clenched shut his mouth twisted in agony. They both let go at the same time and apologized. Fuji flexed his shoulders and smiled, "no harm done." Turning to Sophia told her to return to the court and wait for a moment while he talked to Rin.

"Tch! Fine but don't take too long." She turned and left them alone.

Rin looked at Fuji apologetically, "I'm so sorry about that. Well anyway I'll make it quick, Ran-Chan was accepted too but he's one level lower."

Fuji frowned, "Ran-Chan?"

"Ranmaru-kun." She smiled enthusiastically. Fuji' frown deepened into a scowl since when did they get so familiar. "Well that's all; you can go back to your game now."

When Fuji walked back to the game Rin didn't go back to the room, she actually followed him to watch his game. The game didn't take long eventually Fuji won with 6-3. Rin smiled as she was about to hand him a towel but Sophia snatched it out of her hand and handed it to Fuji.

Rin glared at her, Sophia glared back, "like you said he isn't your boyfriend, right?" Rin's mouth fell open as she watched the slender red head walk away.

"Tanami-san?" Fuji's voice snapped her out of her reverie. He had already packed his things and was headed back to the lobby. "Coming?"

Rin shook her head to clear it, "Ah, yeah." Her shoulders slumped, "I really need some rest."

Back in the suit Rin and Fuji barley ate before each of them went to their respective rooms to sleep. No sooner had Fuji settled into his bed then someone knocked on the door of the suit. Rising he went to see who it was. Rin had opened her bedroom door and was about to get the main door, Fuji held up a hand and told her he would get it. She simply nodded and went back into her room.

Fuji opened the door and before him stood a grinning Ranmaru. "Yo . . ." Fuji shut the door in his face. Ranmaru knocked on the door incessantly forcing Fuji to 

open it again. "What was that for?" Ranmaru was trying to look over Fuji's shoulder, "Where's Tanami-san? I was hoping she could join me for dinner."

"She's asleep." Fuji shut the door in his face again and went back to sleep.

Rin was awake early the next day, she usually woke by 5am but today she woke at 6am. Since her class was at 8 she had two hours to kill. She headed for the kitchen, Fuji was still asleep. She opened the small fridge and found only sodas and candy. She ordered breakfast and after she was done eating decided to make use of those surround speakers. She slipped in a CD for the waltz and began twirling around with an imaginary partner.

Fuji woke to the sound of classical music and laughter. Looking at his watch he saw it was only 6:30am but he decided to get up anyway. Opening the door he saw Rin in her night robe dancing around the room and laughing. "Good morning."

Rin suddenly stopped dancing; a blush crept over her face, "good morning." Her blush deepened when she saw that Fuji was shirtless. Apparently he just realized that fact too and headed back to the room to put on a shirt.

Rin had ordered his breakfast while he was asleep. So he sat down and ate while she went to take a shower.

"What was that you were dancing?" he asked when she came out of her room wearing a knee length black jeans skirt and a light pink top. He was done eating and had put the waltz CD back in and pressed play.

"It's called the waltz."

Fuji held out his hand, "can you teach me?" His azure eyes gazed into brown ones, tilting his head slightly he smiled at her.

Rin felt a flush creep into her face at the thought of being so close to Fuji. She hesitated a moment before she nodded slightly and said, "sure. First you need to learn the steps." She stood beside him, "always keep in mind you right foot is always in while the left is out." She stepped forward with her right foot, "now when you bring your feet together lift yourself lightly." She demonstrated by lifting herself on her toes a slamm hight from the ground. "Try it."When he followed her instructions she said it was perfect.

Now she stood in front of him, she took one of his hands and put the other on her waist, her face was a strange shade of red and her heart was slamming so hard in her chest she thought it might explode out of her body. "Keep those steps in mind, don't look down. I'll lead for now." After a few minutes of Fuji stepping on her toes he finally got it. "Now you can lead, follow the tune."

Rin's heart was beating a wild tattoo as Fuji twirled her perfectly around the room holding her close to him. The song was fading out and Fuji dipped her slowly. The song was over but Fuji didn't let go, in fact he seemed to be leaning closer and closer. Her heart was pounding in her ears now. She closed her eyes gently; she could feel his breath on her lips.

Their lips had just made contact when the door knocked snapping them both back into reality. Fuji straightened Rin before he headed for the door.

"Good morning." Fuji slammed the door shut in Ranmaru's face. "Come on man, I'm starting to think you don't like me." Ranmaru's voice was muffled from behind the door. Fuji didn't open the door but looked at Rin who was standing in shock hand poised over her lips where he just kissed her. He went to his own room ignoring the knocks on the door.

The knocking door finally penetrated Rin's thoughts, she rushed to open it. "Good morning Ran-Chan." She managed a weak smile.

"Come on we have to get to class. It's already 7:30." He took her hand and dragged her out of the room she barely managed to grab her purse that she had put beside the door the other day and close the door behind her.

Back in Fuji's room he was taking a shower. His heart was still pounding furiously. He kissed her, he couldn't believe it. She smelled so good. He couldn't shake the memory of how she looked in his arms while they were waltzing. Getting out of the shower he changed into his sports gear hoping that some tennis would help him take his mind off the kiss.
