10. Saved by the Child


Flashback

Echizen sighed as he got the Singles 3, Tezuka got Doubles 2 with An, The Golden Pair as usual with Doubles 1 and Fuji with Singles 2,

"Shoot." Kumiko said as she stared at the paper,

"Eh? Why, Tezuka-chan?"

"I got Singles 1."

End of Recap


Kami. Why did I ever have to get the Singles 1... I know I am terribly a suck-up with Tennis, no need to remind me. But I wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone, especially Fuji. Wait, where did that came from?

Anyways, having Tezuka Kunimitsu as my Onii-chan, I am sure that people would definitely expect something from me! Well, it's not my fault I'm asthmatic, you know!

Well, it seems the game is going fine, although it seems I'm going against Atobe, although we already have a sure win, after all. 4-0. That is.

"Well, we are going to have a twist! Whoever wins in the Singles 1, will be the champion. What do you have to say about that!" Atobe said as he smirked,

Why that monkey king... Shimatta yo...

"That is, if you aren't afraid with losing against Ore-sama, hmmm Tezuka's imouto?" Atobe asked,

"Urusai yo! I have a name you know!" I replied. Ohhhps. This bad mouth of mine.

"Well let's begin, shall we, Tezuka-chan?" he asked me,

"Of course!"

"Ore-sama no bigi ni yoi na!"


Normal POV

Time passed by and it was already 3-0. favoring Atobe.

"What is happening with you Tezuka-chan? Are you losing already?" He asked the panting Kumiko,

"Urusai! I," She paused as she panted, "I'm not yet losing!" She added as Atobe was smirking,

"Oh really?" Atobe asked,

"Service ace, Atobe." the referee said,

"Well then, I shall just go easy on you, Tezuka-chan." Atobe said before smirking and he served in which, Kumiko had, luckily, returned, making,

"Tezuka. 15-0!"

"YOSHI! GAMBATTE TEZUKA-CHAN nya!" Eiji cheered,

"Serve!"

"Arigato Eiji-senpai."

"Saa. Gambatte Tezuka-chan." Fuji said,

"Fuji-senpai."

"Mada mada dane, senpai."

"Urusai Echizen!"

"GYAAAAAA!" Kumiko shouted as she served while everyone else covered their ears on the screech,

"Tezuka. 30-0."

"Well, that was a nice tactic... I should say." Fuji said as he looked at Kumiko,

"It just came out! OK? The scream just went out from my mouth. So, it was not a tactic." Kumiko reprimanded Fuji,

"Saa. What's this game here?" a womanly voice said,

"Seichii-kun?" Kumiko asked as she turned,

"Eh? The Rikkai Dai's buchou?" Yuushi asked as he recognized,

"Mura-buchou! Mura-buchou! What's this?" Akaya asked as he went in the courts,

"Kirihara-san!" Kumiko recognized as she waved at them,

"Ah! Kumiko-san!" Akaya acknowledged,

"Why are Rikkai Dai's Yukimura and Kirihara are here? Ore-sama is confused." Atobe said,

"Ah, Kumiko-chan! Hissashiburi." Seiichi said as he went near,

"Hai. It's been a long time or has it been just 2 weeks since we met, if I am not wrong." Kumiko asked,

"It seems Rikkai Dai's buchou is on first name basis with Tezuka-chan." Yuushi said as Gakuto, Hiyoshi, Chotaro, and Shishido nodded.

'Can't it be...?' these thoughts occupied their mind,

"Ahhh. Yukimura."

"Fuji."

"It's been 2 weeks since we saw each other." the both of them chorused,

"You're here, as well?" An asked as he pointed at Akaya,

"It's because our club has a field trip. All the sports club have this, although it's only the Regulars." Akaya replied,

"Eh? An-chan and Kirihara-san knows each other?" Kumiko asked as everyone gathered to Kumiko's side of the court, eventually, forgetting of their game,

"Hai. It seems he hurt Kippei-nii in their game before." An replied,

"Eh? Kirihara-san did that? Possible." Kumiko said as others were sweatdropping,

"Oy! What about our game? Ore-sama was leading!" Atobe said as he exaggerated his look,

"Well, I need someone to sub me on the game. You said anyone can sub!" Kumiko said,

"Ore-sama did say that,"

"Seiichi-kun! Please play for me!" Kumiko pleaded to Seiichi, who was smiling, as always, while the other people's faces were ashening, thinking, 'Atobe does not stand a chance.'

"Of course, Kumiko-chan! Anything for you." Seiichi said as he slanted his face while Kumiko's face blushed from what Seiichi said,

"Forget what Ore-sama had said. Ore-sama is sure that you have lots of things to catch up since you didn't meet each other for 2 weeks." Atobe said,

'He's scared,' the others thought, well except for Kumiko and Seiichi,

"So, how did you meet Yukimura-san?" An asked,

"Well, it was a long story, An-chan, but rather, it was also because of Kirihara-san. Am I right?" Kumiko said, while Akaya nodded,

"Neh, where is Sanada-san?" Kumiko asked as she looked around,

"Sanada was rather guarding Niou and Bunta. Especially Niou, that is." Seiichi replied,

"Sou ka." Kumiko said as she turned, "Oy! Minna-san, let's go buy something, I was rather hungry." Kumiko confessed as the other people were sweatdropping,

"Sure! I was also hungry!" Momo said as his face lightened on the thought about eating,

"Come on, Momo-chan!" Kumiko said as she went near the Seigaku Regulars and dragged Momo,

"Saa, saa, don't run that much Tezuka-chan." Fuji said,

"Hoi! Hoi! Now that Tezuka-chan has mentioned it, I was also hungry as well. Playing that much nya!" Eiji said as he went near Kumiko and glomped on her,

"Can't breathe! Senpai!"

"We can also rest for the mean time." Oishi said,

"I'm afraid we can't go, neh, Akaya? We still have to find a hotel, that is." Seiichi said,

"Eh? Sou ka. How many days are you staying here, Seiichi?"

"Around 3 days." Seiichi replied,

"Oh... I see..." Kumiko said,

"Doushite ka? Want to tour me around?" Seiichi asked,

"Hai... Although I'm not really familliar here somehow." Kumiko replied, sheepishly,

"We'll have to go now, I guess. Ja neh, Kumiko-chan, minna-san." Seiichi said as he dragged a rather blushing Akaya from an also blushing An,

"Eh? Why were the two of you blushing, An-chan? I'm rather questioning about the two of you..." Kumiko said as she snickered at An,

"Wha-whatever, Kumiko-chan! I'm out of here!"

"Just joking, An-chan!"

"I knew that. I was also teasing." An replied,

"Oh... Come on!" Kumiko said as she dragged An.


jychan: Now, I'd like to thank invisible-gurl, ksm013, and diaaan for their reviews

invisible-gurl: WELL, it was thanks to Seiichi that she was saved from the embarassment, that is... But then, somehow, it feels unfair for Fuji, neh??? I'll have FujiXKumiko moments next chapter...

ksm013: Well, I don't really know what's the correct spelling... LOL.. anyways, thanks for correcting me, and thanks for appreciating my story, despite me being the worst novice of all...

diaaan: did I get your name right??? of course, sure... I'll try to do a double ending, after all, it would really be unfair for these two sadistic bishies if they don't get a double ending, noh??? But, so far, so good, and I haven't think of an ending yet... LOL

SO, people speak out now whether she should go with Fuji or Yukimura! Well, I could also make a double ending if you want to...
