Ryoma looked down on the view, a sad smile playing on her face as she continued to pet her cat, the radio behind her playing a rather melancholic song , an empty can of Ponta crushed in her other hand.

"Neh, Karupin" She lifted her close friend up to look him straight in the eyes "When do you think Mama will try and kidnap me? Or will it be Ryoga-nii this time?" She asked her unresponsive cat who just licked her nose in reply

She smiled at the response and placed the cat back on her lap, just letting the music flow in the air, a stack of finished homework on one side of the room, the other side held pictures, albums and memento's

"After all, Oyaji cant hold on to me for long" She whispered as her cat went off to do whatever cats do

Her cell phone rang and she just stared at it with piercing golden eyes until the tenth ring "Hai?"

"Ryoma! Get over here! Were doing extra training in an hour! Don't be late!" Her godmother yelled before waiting for an answer

"Eh? I might be late, I need to catch up on my sleep…" She dozed, smiling at the scene of a happy family down below

"Don't be late!" A few other voices yelled, this got the pretty girl retaliating

"We'll be waiting for you Ochibi!" Eiji yelled happily before another fuss occurred and the cell phone was passed on

"You can sleep over here Ryoma-san, it's scary being alone right?" Oishi fussed even from a few miles away then another fuss was made

"Oi! You cant be late if we buy hamburgers right?" Momo asked clearly laughing

"Fssshhhh, Idiot" Was faintly heard before a fistfight was started and the phone fell into the hands of someone else

"Saa, it's either you come early or were coming up Ryoma-chan" Fuji teased

Ryoma's little smile faded away "Where are you exactly Fuji-sempai?" She asked

"I am hurt Ryoma-chan, didn't you think I'd plan ahead? Just look down" He chuckled

Ryoma did, her cat looking down with her, there she saw a fist fight slowly being broken apart by the police and an ever fussing Oishi, running around as the others fought for the phone, but the only thing she really was watching was that winning smirk on her evil sempai and the ever so stoic captain with a very annoyed face

Fuji waved up, the girl gripped the curtains tightly and glared "I thought I had an hour"

Fuji chuckled "We lied" Before the dial tone took over as he closed the phone

Ryoma slammed the curtains shut and plopped herself on the couch still glaring at the window as Karupin resumed his pose on her lap "Fuji-sempai's mean" She whined

Karupin licked one of her fingers and she instantly brightened up "You want to come with us Karupin?" She asked lying down on the couch, lifting the cat up once more

Karupin licked her finger once more, Ryoma just smiled Why not? If Fuji-sempai wants to play, then I'll play

An actually hour later

Ryoma came down, wearing a jacket against the cold and jeans shorts that were barely mid thigh, her tennis bag slung against her barely there chest, she pulled her hat down as she met the group below, Karupin hugged closely to her chest

"Eh? What are you guys doing here?" She feigned ignorance with a drowsy voice, her cat jumping into Kaidoh's arms

Fuji glared through his closed eyes at her, as she was fussed over by the other members. No one had ever dared to defy the prodigy before, He continued to look at her, the other members noticing his unwavering glare as well.

"Neh, Fuji-sempai, was I late?" Ryoma asked, Fuji's trademark evil grin playing on her face now

Fuji smiled back calmly as he walked towards her, stopping when they were just inches away, as he bent down, still towering over her as she had to look up "You cant bring a cat with you Ryoma-chan" He stated

She turned his back on him surprising everyone "Karupin!" She suddenly exclaimed, the cat jumped into her arms, she petted the cat with a small smile on her face, before turning back to Fuji

"Nobody can resist Karupin's cuteness" She spoke, holding Karupin up for the whole world to see.

….

She still ended up having to leave Karupin, delaying the group as the two had to be pried off. She sulked the whole way to the school.

"Neh, Ryoma, why are you so attached to Karupin?" Momo asked

Ryoma just looked up, she opened her mouth as what they thought was an answer but she yawned instead "I am sleepy already, where's the ponta?" She asked

Veins popped at this statement, but she was saved by the ever-fussing mother hen of Seigaku, who once again, worried for her diet and eating habits, trying to feed her something from their bento's

"A…bento…" She spoke, looking at the box filled with food

The others looked to her questioningly "You haven't seen one Echizen?" Kawamaru asked in amazement

She glared pointedly at him "I have" She argued before walking away to the dug out, leaving a very confused team.

~~~~Scene change~~~

"Echizen! Were going to take measurements!" Momo yelled from the dug out, only to be silenced immediately by Tezuka

Ryoma jogged over, her quick game with Kawamaru ending (in her favor of course) with Kawamaru panting behind her. The coach was already there, most of the guy's topless as she measured them.

She looked at them for a while before taking her jacket off, Kawamaru's shirt already off as he jogged to join the other male's, nobody paid her any attention until she started to take her shirt off.

"Oi! Echizen!" Momo exclaimed being the first to notice his little playmate

Everybody looked in shock "Ochibi!" Eiji yelled out loud, throwing the shirt he was about to wear at her, almost knocking her out of balance

"Hey!" She yelled in protest, her shirt going back down

Ryuuzaki and Oishi ran over to her pushing her onto the bench

"You shouldn't be taking your shirt off like that Ryoma-san!" Oishi scolded

"What has your father been teaching you!" Ryuuzaki exclaimed, throwing Eiji's shirt back at him

Ryoma tilted her head "But it's really hot" She reasoned

"Not even then!" They yelled

She frowned but listened anyway

Both of them sighed, and went off to measure the other regulars

Fuuji, noticing the lonely look on his favorite kouhai, went to sit next to her

"Saa, don't look so down Ryoma-san, it's depressing"

Ryoma's frown deepened even more but the only thing she could say was said clearly enough by her stomach, Fuuji laughed and ruffled her hair

"Hungry again Ryoma-san?" He asked, opening his smiling eyes at her

She stuck out her tongue and suddenly laid down her head on his lap "Please be quiet Fuji-sempai, I am sleepy again"

Fuuji's eyes widened in surprise as he looked up to the others, who were snickering evily but stopped as they saw his piercing eyes….
