Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS
SEIGAKU'S MOMENT
The team was kneeling before Ryoma's picture.
Ryoma was smiling and looked like he was at peace.
Eiji was still crying in Oishi's shoulder.
Momoshiro bravely cried for the lost of a very close friend.
Kaidoh tried his best to hold back the tears that were filling the sides of his eyes.
"Ne, Tezuka. This makes everything so real, doesn't it? Us being here." Fuji spoke.
Tezuka nodded.
He couldn't find his voice to say what he wanted to say.
"Ryoma Echizen was truly one of the strongest people I have ever met. His evolution during matches never cease to amaze me and correct my Data Tennis. Like Tezuka and Fuji, Ryoma was one of the players that never failed to put my data to the test." Inui said as he bowed down.
"Echizen was one of the few that returned my hadokyou at me with more power than the one I sent him." Kawamura smiled and bowed.
"Echizen proved me wrong when I said that freshmen don't have what it takes to be regulars." Kaidoh spoke and bowed.
The others smiled at him.
Ryoma never used the fact that his father was Samurai Nanjirou.
He showed everyone that he was Ryoma Echizen.
Not someone famous' son.
Without another word, Tezuka bowed.
"Thank you, Echizen. Because of you, we have learned that we are a team and that we all must work together and enjoy playing with each one." The stern captain spoke softly.
"O-chibi, arigato, ne. Because of you, Oishi and I have strengthened our bond and our play. You have thought us to trust and rely on each other for strength." Eiji said in between sobs.
Oishi nodded and both bowed together.
"Echizen, because of you, I have learned to be more confident and thought me to be myself. You have showed me that doubting never helps. Arigato." Fuji bowed.
They all turned to Momoshiro.
"Echizen, you showed me that by being strong, I get to be myself and show the world who I am. You have thought me to be happy and enjoy everything that comes my way, both good and bad. I will truly miss our trips after school. Sayonara, Ryoma." He bowed.
