15 Ways to Ask your Ideal Seigaku Regulars Out?

Compliments

They won the Nationals tournament, not only just a place… Seigaku won the championship, and now celebrating their victory, but this time Ryuzaki-sensei chooses to celebrate it in a KTV and Disco Club, the famous Music Hub. Dancing and Singing all night.

Ryoma sat in a leather-coated chair. The place is noisy! He hated it. He wants a peaceful and serene environment not loud booming sounds, and crazy dancing freaks. Ryoma took a sip of his Ponta.

"Ochibi! Why are you sulking!? You should enjoy the party!" Eiji said as he rocks his head with the music.

"Ous" he answered. Momo bonked him. "Itai! What was that for?"

"Echizen, being young is wonderful, you get to meet young girls and flirt with them." He said placing a hand around his shoulders eyeing the girls around that earn him a smack from Reika "Hentai!"

"Ous" replied Ryoma, as he drank his Ponta.

"You're not enjoying this ne Ryo-chan?" said Reika, sitting across him.

"Not at all." He answered. Reika smiled at him. "You'll get used to it."

"Ous" he replied again.

After a few minutes, Tezuka, Raila, Fuji, Ryuzaki-sensei, Tomoka, and Sakuno arrived. Oishi, called them pointing the seat reserved by Kawamura. Momo and Kaidoh began fighting again, Ryoma inched away from them. "Annoying sempai-tachi" he murmured.

Reika watched Ryoma scowl. Clearly, Ryoma is not a party person. She tapped the table across Ryoma and pointed the table where Tezuka and others are. Ryoma looked confused at her.

"Want to transfer table? This table is getting crowded." Reika glanced at the entire table. After saving a table for Tezuka and the others, Kawamura and Inui returned to their previous place. This makes the table they are occupying quite crowded. Oishi, Eiji, Inui, Kaidoh, Momo, Echizen, and Kawamura sat on one side of the table on the other half across sat Yalen, Sei, Sayo, Shimako, Yoshino, Sachiko, Eriko, and Reika with Horio, Katsuo, and Kachiro.

"No problem" Ryoma said standing up and walking to the other reserved table, Reika followed him. Reika saw that the available seats are beside Fuji and Sakuno. Reika smiled evilly. 'Perfect' she thought.

Running past Ryoma Reika flopped herself beside Fuji who is sitting beside Tezuka after Tezuka is Raila across them is Ryuzaki-sensei, Tomoka, and Sakuno. Ryoma chose to sit beside Raila. Reika frowned. She eyed Raila who glared at her. Then Reika caught Sakuno's eyes and winked at her, mouthing the words 'Remember what I told you!' Sakuno blushed but nodded.

Fuji saw Sakuno blush and nodded towards Reika's direction and he knew… Reika is up to something again. He just kept his smile patiently waits for what's going to happen. Tezuka and Raila on the other hand don't want any part of this plan, which they believe involves Echizen Ryoma and poor Ryuzaki Sakuno. Both Tezuka and Raila exchange glances, with that they ordered their meal.

After dinner, the music was louder and the people are noisier, Ryuzaki-sensei excused herself saying she saw some old acquaintances. Tomoka, Horio, Katsuo, and Kachiro are all in the dance floor with other Seigaku regulars. Oishi and Yalen are in one side, dancing, while Eiji, Sei, Kawamura, Sayo, Momo, Eriko, Shimako, Yoshino are dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

Kaidoh and Inui are seated in their chair, Inui jotting down unknown notes, mumbling to himself; while Kaidoh's eyes were closed, he was meditating. On the other table, Reika and Fuji are talking about cactus and photography while Tezuka sips his mocha frappe and Raila closed her eyes listening to her own brand of music in her mp3.

Ryoma was bored. 'I want to go home' he thought. He pulled his cap down his eyes more. Then something caught his eyes. Sakuno. He can help but mentally smirk. 'She's as bored as me' he thought. Watching her play with the straw of her drink means, she's quite bored too. She kept on sighing and then tugs her braid. 'What an annoying hairstyle?!' he thought.

Then something caught his eye. She was staring at him or rather his cap. She's muttering something. Ryoma look up a bit. "What?" he asked. But, the loud sounds ate his voice. Sakuno blushed and answered him.

"I can't hear you," Ryoma said. Again, Sakuno's mouth move but he can't hear. Just the words 'like and you' are the only things he understand because it was too fast. He leans in forward in hope of hearing what the girl is trying to say. "What's that?" for the fourth time Sakuno repeated what she said, but Ryoma really cannot understand her. Frustrated he leans more.

"Say that again!" he said this time he's leaning too close to her. Sakuno blushed red. "I really like you… I mean your tennis game, Ryoma-kun, can you teach me how to play better tennis?" she said in one breathe. "That's all?" he asked sitting back on his chair. Sakuno nodded. Ryoma remain silent. Sakuno thought he blew it.

Then unexpectedly, Ryoma stood up and walk to the vacant space beside Sakuno. "Want to start your lessons tonight?" he asked leaning to Sakuno's ear level. The poor girl blushed and nodded. "But, I must warn you… I am strict and insatiable. Can you stand that?" his voice sounded a bit husky even for Ryoma's taste. Sakuno only nodded.

On the corner of her eye, Reika watched the two kouhai of hers talking unknown things. She smirked when Ryoma leans down whispering something to Sakuno's ear, earning a cute lush form the teen. Her smirk widen when Sakuno blushed redder at Ryoma's next words. 'Cool' Reika thought.

Ryoma stood up dragging Sakuno to the club's exit carrying his and her tennis bag. No one seems to notice that the two teens are gone except for Reika who's grinning from ear to ear. "You look like you spotted your prey" Fuji said his eyes still trained at her. "I did… but they just left. Want to go somewhere private?" she asked slyly. Fuji opened his eyes his smile widens. "Let's go"

"Where are you going?" Tezuka asked the two. "Catching the late night movie, see you tomorrow," Fuji, answered. The two left without another word. After a while Tezuka glanced at his watch he saw the time it was already 1 am. "Did they say late night movie?!" he asked Raila. Raila looked at him with a smirk pulling his neck down. "Baka" she muttered giving the stoic captain something he can busy himself with by kissing him.

Ryoma and Sakuno finished their late night game with a red and panting Sakuno. "Mada Mada dane" Ryoma muttered handling the poor girl a can of Ponta juice. "Mou Ryoma-kun, you're serious when you said you are strict and insatiable" Sakuno complained.

Ryoma raised an eyebrow. "I haven't shown you how insatiable I can get… especially when you look like that" Ryoma said. "Huh?!" Sakuno was clueless. Before she can even say anything else, Ryoma had already snake his left hand around Sakuno's waist pulling her close making the girl blush crimson. "You look good when you blush." Ryoma murmured running his right palm behind Sakuno's neck and pulling her to meet his.

Warm lips pressed to cold ones as Ryoma kissed Sakuno. Sakuno's eyes were as wide as saucers but, then she slowly closed her eyes kissing back the tennis prodigy.

"Smooth" Reika murmured watching the two in a distance. A chuckle from behind. "What?" she asked the tennis tensai behind her. "You are a schemer" he said. "Brilliant ne? I have a very good mentor you see" she answered with a sly smile. "Hai. Hai." The tensai answered.
