Well, here's the next chapter (sorry for updating sooo late! It's all skl's fault!)
Enjoy! (Hopefully!!)

Ryoma hastily chased after his beloved fur ball only to find…He was lost. To make matters worse, the tennis prince was surrounded by little kids, posters of smiling animals, and the musty smell of bird droppings and cheap perfume.
But Ryoma had a mission to accomplish—find Karupin. So he searched far and wide, high and below, and still found no sign of the elusive cat. He did find something of interest, however, Ryuzaki.
Now out of all of Ryoma's "friends" Ryuzaki was the least likely to surprise him. Sure she studdered, was terrible at directions, and was overly sensitive about her hair but he was used to it. But this was a shocker.
Ryuzaki was challenging a penguin.
"Penguin-san give that back right now!" said Ryuzaki in an angry voice. Ryoma found it hard not to laugh. Here she was with her eyebrows furrowed, cheeks puffed out, knees bent, and arms out, ready to plunge for the poor defenseless penguin at hand. "I'm asking nicely Penguin-san so give it back!"
The Penguin merely stepped back. Ryuzaki stepped forwards. The penguin started to dash away and Ryuzaki plunged. The penguin, being more coordinated than Ryuzaki, sidestepped her, sending the girl flying through the air and eventually landing on the dirt floor.
Ryoma decided now was the perfecttime to make his grand entrance. The tennis star walked over and crouched in front of Ryuzaki, facing her.
"Oi, Ryuzaki"
Silence.
"Ryuzaki."
Silence. Ryoma sighed, now he was getting bored. Ryoma attempted to shake her awake but failed. Sigh.
Ryoma decided to leave until he heard a soft yawn from behind him."
"A-Ano…Ryoma-kun?"
