Oh hai there everybody! Sorry for the super late update. My laziness has been recharged and graduation took a toll on my brain haha. Anyhooo~! I'd like to share a few happenings in my life before proceeding to meh story. If you don't like you could always scroll down using that scroll-me-down-thingy over there =
Okay, so I've been busy with the end of the semester and the end of my college/university life. Huzzah! I finally graduated!! Not that I'm bragging or anything but I actually got two awards prior to graduation. ^///^ *blushes* First award is what I'm most proud of, my group got the Best Thesis award for the Education program. We worked so hard for it, hence the super overflowing happiness when we got our medals. (oooh btw, the title of our thesis is The Level of Environmental Awareness of Education Students in Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba). The second award is very unexpected actually, I got an Academic Excellence award for garnering a certain average in four years which I am not aware of. Haha. I know; total fail for not knowing my own General Weighted Average. haha. Anyway, thank you for being dears and being so patient with my very slow updates. I've finally harvested the fruits of my labor. haha.
Anyways, special thanks to those who read and reviewed Chapter 11-b of this story. I assure you that this chapter will be longer than the last one. (so keep a soda and chips/popcorn with you XP) But I do hope this chapter wouldn't bore you. Please excuse the grammatical errors, mistyped words, and wrong spelling/s because I'm always half asleep whenever I get ideas for this story. Anyhoo..My heartfelt appreciation to the following people who took the time to review my work.

denizen of the night-I happen to be a music lover, photography addict, art freak and all the other weird hobby addict ahahaha so you'd see some of my hobbies associated here. The piece Yumi will play is a favorite of mine. Check it out on YouTube (= not mine okies? whoever owns youtube owns youtube...just a disclaimer ^_^) it's by Frederick Chopin, Fantasie Impromptu.

Oh and by the way, we have a guessing game this time around! Who are Ysah-chan's favorite non-Prince of Tennis characters that are present in this fic? Clue: I just changed their last names but you'd probably know who they are anyway hihihi ^pq^
Chapter 11-c
Summer Holidays
Tezuka Kunikazu and his late wife had three children, two girls and an only son, Kuniharu. The eldest of the three was named Kunimiki from the Japanese word Miki or beautiful Chronicle. The second child was named Kuniko, sometimes called Nikko by their mother, whose name came from the Japanese word Nikko or sunshine. And of course the youngest was Kuniharu whose name came from Haru or spring.
The three siblings were very different from each other. Kunimiki had the sternness of their father yet had that loving aura of their mother. Kuniko on the other hand was more of a balancer for the two other siblings she had. Like her name, Kuniko always brought sunshine in their family. Kuniharu, though youngest and the only male of the three, took more after his mother. His looks definitely come from Kunikazu but his kindness towards others was generally from his mother, who was a very loving person. But although these three were different, they grew very close to each other and very attached to their parents as well. It was very difficult for the three to accept it when their mother passes away, a few years after Kuniharu's first son was born.
Although Kunimiki and Kuniko were much older than their brother, the two came to an understanding that their youngest sibling would be the one to succeed their father's place in the company. Of course, they did not abandon their place in the Tezuka family. They each took part in making their companies grow more successful by giving their best in all of the tasks they faced. The first few years working were quite difficult but eventually the three siblings were able to establish the best companies, not only in Japan but all over the world. Kuniharu worked on their main headquarters in Japan, while Kuniko; along with her only son Eriol and her husband James Radcliffe, worked on the European branches of their companies. Kunimiki, being the more traditionalist Tezuka family member, handled the establishments they've branched out in parts of Asia.
The three siblings have always been working hard together, but they've grown lonesome without the companionship of their beloved siblings. The summer holidays in Japan were always something to look forward to. During this time of the year, the siblings get together, along with other relatives, friends, and of course their beloved father, to celebrate another years worth of success and to enjoy time together with music and chit-chat.
"Thank you for the dates (A/N: it's a fruit found in the middle east. if you haven't tasted it it's actually pretty good. It doesn't need any artificial sweetening and it's so good to match with tea..., or at least for me it is) you've sent last time Miki-neesama. They were very tasty," said Kuniharu.
"Ah, you're welcome. My husband bought them during his business trip to Riyadh last time. Of course, I would've sent some to Nikko-chan but I was afraid they wouldn't taste as good," said Kunimiki.
"It's all right Onee-sama. Eriol has been receiving so many gifts from his admirers that even we have problems keeping sweets out of the house," said Kuniko.
"That explains the weight gain James-niisama was complaining about. He keeps insist it was yours and Eriol's fault," said Ayana.
"Ah, but it wasn't my fault he could stay away from those freshly baked blueberry muffins," said Kuniko.
"Yumi-chan would be the happiest if she received those. She seems to have acquired a soft spot for pastries after Kuniko-neesama and Eriol-kun visited last time," said Ayana.
"Ah, that little darling looked so cute while she was eating those homemade scones Eriol prepared," said Kuniko.
"I must admit, Yumi-chan and Kunimitsu-kun looks so much alike. If it weren't for the real situation, I would've thought otherwise about it," said Kunimiki.
"Yes, I know. What drew us closer was that she's so much like okaa-sama in so many ways. Even otou-sama says so and he spends some time with her every day," said Kuniharu.
"Even Yumi-chan looks forward to it. After getting home and eating dinner, she'd go and play chess or shogi with her grandpa and enjoy it," said Ayana.
"That's so cute! I'm sure Eriol-kun's fiancée would be really attached to her. She loves seeing cute girls," said Kuniko.
While the three siblings and Ayana were talking, the younger teens, along with Eriol and James were enjoying stories from Kunikazu and some of his old police buddies. The other two were much older than Kunikazu and they told stories about the wars they've been to and about the criminals they've caught. But alas, being old as they were, the two had to retire early and they were fetched by their children from the neighboring summerhouses. What came next was Kunikazu's favorite part of the evening, his mini music festival. But seeing that his younger companions were a bit famished, he decided on postponing it for a bit to have some dinner first.
"Eriol-niisan are you waiting for somebody?" asked Yumi as they were eating dinner.
"Yes, my fiancée is coming tonight. She just stopped by a friends' summerhouse to pay her a visit," said Eriol.
"By the way, Miki-chan, how come your children and your husband aren't around?" asked Kunikazu.
"My husband is still overseas trying to finish some work, father. Your grandchildren, however, are currently enjoying their unusual on-location research for their college class," said Kunimiki.
"It's too bad Aki and Aoi aren't here. Yumi-chan, you should see your cousins play the Cello and the Violin. They're quite a duet. They've competed overseas as well you know," said Kunikazu.
"Wow, I'd love to hear them play," said Yumi.
"We'll visit you soon after the summer holidays. I'm sure they look forward to seeing you," said Kunimiki.
"Kikumaru-kun seems to be enjoying the steak," said Ayana.
"Hai, hai, these all taste wonderful," said Kikumaru.
"Be sure to try some of the other food here," said Kuniharu.
"It's too bad, Kaidoh, Inui and Taka-san couldn't make it. It would've been nice if they were here as well," said Oishi.
"We could always invite you guys again next time," said Kuniharu.
"By the way, Fuji-kun I heard you also play the violin, correct?" asked Kunikazu.
"Ah, that's right. My family's quite a fan of music as well and they've sent all three of siblings to music classes when we were younger. I seem to be the only one who's still interested though," said Fuji.
"I'd love to hear you play. Would you allow an old man's request?" asked Kunikazu.
"I guess I could play a bit. How about playing a trio with Yumi-chan and Eriol-san later?" asked Fuji.
"A wonderful suggestion!" said Kunikazu.
"Otou-sama really loves music," said James.
"It's so much like Echizen loving tennis. Although, for Echizen, it's become more of an addiction than an interest," said Momoshiro.
"Hoi hoi, Ochibi's so engrossed with tennis so much sometimes," said Kikumaru.
"At least I don't eat like a pig like the two of you," said Ryoma as he pointed to the sauce stains on the napkins the other two used to cover their clothes.
"Ah! It's so dirty! Nya!" said Kikumaru.
"It's all right. No worries," said Ayana.
"Gomen ne, Ayana-san," said Oishi.
Eriol's girlfriend/fiancée came when the others were halfway through their dinner. She was clearly half Japanese and half European, like Eriol himself. Her tall and slender built were clearly European, but her eyes were a dark hazel colored pair shaped into almonds. She looked very pretty indeed, with her long flowing hair and her sophisticated way of dressing.
"Minna-san, this is my fiancée, Tomoyo Flynn. She's the daughter of the CEO of an advertising company in France. She works as a part time model as well," said Eriol as he introduced her.
"Hello there," said Tomoyo.
"Wow, a real model! Nya!" said Kikumaru.
"It's nice to see you again, Tomoyo-chan. Come and join us," said James.
"Likewise, James-san, it's been quite a while since the last time we've seen each other," said Tomoyo.
"Someone please get a plate for Tomoyo-chan," said Kuniko.
After dinner, the mini show began. Eriol was the one to start the performance with a piano piece. He decided to play Balade pour Adeline while the others watched him play. It was beautiful and fun tune to listen to. Yumi sat in front with her grandfather and enjoyed the way her cousin played the playful tune.
His brother followed next. His piece was a more solemn tune compared to Eriol's Balade pour Adeline. He chose a piece by Frederick Chopin, his and Yumi's favorite pianist. He chose to play Nocturne for piano no. 19- e minor, one of the piano pieces he's been spending time to study for a good few weeks now. Of course it took him time to learn it all since he's been busy with the Student council and the club.
"Onii-chan's been practicing this piece at home every day after dinner for the last two weeks," said Yumi.
"It's a very beautiful piece. Whose piece is it?" asked Fuji.
"Chopin. He's my and onii-chan's favorite pianist. I'll play another one of his piano pieces later," said Yumi.
"Ah, Fantasie Impromptu, right?" asked Sanada.
"That's right," said Yumi.
"Yumi-chan, why are you wearing gloves?" asked Momoshiro.
"Yeah, it isn't that cold out here, nya," said Kikumaru.
"It's to keep my hands warm for when I play," said Yumi.
"Does that help when you play?" asked Oishi.
"It helps a lot. I feel less tensed when I play, plus I can move faster when my hands and fingers are relaxed," Yumi explained.
The slow flowing notes of Tezuka's playing gracefully slid down the keys of the piano. From the solemn and slow tunes, it gradually increased its tempo. The music flowed smoothly as Tezuka's fingers touched each cold key and eventually the tune ended. Applause broke from the small crowd as Tezuka's friends and family praised his piano playing.
"Outstanding, Kunimitsu!" said James.
"All right, who's next?" asked Kunikazu as Tezuka stepped down from the stage-like platform.
"Yumi-chan should play next," said Kuniko.
"Ah, very well then, Yumi it is," said Kunikazu.
Yumi removed her pigtails and finger combed her hair to set it in place. She walked towards the platform and began to get ready. She removed her gloves and placed them on top of the grand piano. She sat on the chair comfortably while looking at the piano piece her brother has placed on the score stand for her. It was Frederick Chopin's Fantasie Impromtu, one of her most favorite pieces. She stretched her fingers a bit and then began tapping a few of the black and white keys.
When she began playing the tune was fast and yet it held a serious tone to it. It was as if at that moment everyone held their breadths as the youngest in the family played one of the most complicated pieces they've heard that night. From the fast tune it slowed to a sweet melody that flowed smoothly as it glided through the piano keys. Then as the slow tune progressed, again, it flowed into the fast playful tune Yumi played at first. Her fingers looked like it was simply gliding atop the keys and then the melody slowed and it finally ended.
"That was wonderful, Yumi-chan!" said Oishi.
"You've been practicing that piece since my last visit, haven't you?" asked Eriol.
"Yes, although the upright piano in the sitting room had a different tune to it though. I asked father to call someone to tune it already," said Yumi as she sat back.
"Yes, the music store said they'd fix it after we come back," said Kuniharu.
"Why'd you remove your pigtails, Yumi-chan?" asked Kikumaru.
"Well, if I had them on, no one usually takes me seriously when I look like that whenever I play," said Yumi.
"That was a rather breathtaking performance," said Yukimura.
"Thank you," said Yumi.
"You looked absolutely adorable, Yumi-chan. Your dress is so pretty too, it suits you well," said Tomoyo.
"Arigatou, it was something otou-san bought when he went for a short trip to Korea," said Yumi.
"It looks really pretty on you," said Tomoyo.
"Of course, Yumi-chan's the youngest and the only girl amongst all otou-san's grandchildren. She's bound to be showered with all the cute stuff like this," said Kuniko.
"Which reminds me; Aoi and Aki asked me to give something to Yumi-chan. I left it inside the house so I'll give it to you later, dear," said Kunimiki as s the talked to Yumi.
"Mou, they didn't have to get me anything. It would've been great if they were here though," said Yumi.
"Ah, but your onii-san tachi are so inclined with their research that they had to pass on this summer's reunion. We'll visit you soon after this," said Kunimiki.
The rest of the evening was still filled with wonderful music and chatter from the small crowd of Tezukas and tennis players. Kuniharu played the piano while Yumi was accompanying him with her violin as they played Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 5 in F. It was a lovely melody that reminded everyone of spring and of the wind as it flowed around them all. Of course the highlight of the evening was the promised trio that played that night. Whilst Eriol was playing the piano, Yumi and Fuji played the violin to the tune of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. It was a lovely show to watch and to listen to. Their music blended so well together and the happy tune gave everyone more energy albeit the night's chill grew colder. It was amazing how Fuji's violin playing seemed to accompany Yumi's while the two were being accompanied by Eriol's piano playing. It was as if the two violins were conversing and their music flowed out so beautifully it was the most breathtaking performance they watched that night. Even Eriol himself was amazed at how lovely their instruments blended. He's been playing with so many violinists before but never have they performed as great these two.
"The perfect way to end this lovely evening isn't that right otou-sama?" asked Ayana.
"Yes, that's right. Thank you, my dear grandchildren for your wonderful performances. Of course, my only son's playing was something I've always looked forward to each year. And to you, Fuji-kun, thank you for that outstanding performance. I never knew you could play so wonderfully. I look forward to listening to your music more in the future," said Kunikazu.
"It's my honor, Kunikazu-sama," said Fuji.
"Thank you for inviting us as well. We never knew the Tezuka family always had these kinds of reunions," said Oishi.
"Hn, Tezuka-buchou never mentioned it, nyah!" said Kikumaru.
"Thank you for inviting us as well; though it's been a short while only since we've met this family, "said Yukimura.
"Ah, it's no problem at all," said Kuniharu.
"Shall we head to the sitting room for some tea?" asked Ayana.
"Yes, an old man like me would love that," said Kunikazu as he stood up and walked alongside Kuniharu towards the house.
The following morning, at around 7am, the tennis players, along with Yumi, Eriol and Tomoyo rented out some bikes from a nearby shop to look around town. In place of their usual jog in the morning, they decided that touring Karuizawa while on bikes would be the best way to look around the place more. This time their bike trip lasted a bit longer than usual. They actually got to look at the Shiraito Falls, a waterfall measuring three meters high and 70 meters across. This waterfall has its source in the Yukawa River. A magnificent sight, the underground water of this fall splits over the rock face, making the water appear like white threads. It was so beautiful that they couldn't help but take a lot of pictures.
When they got back to the house, the helpers were already serving them some brunch (breakfast/lunch). This time it was in Ryoma's favor. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast that everyone enjoyed. Tea was served a few minutes after everyone finished their meal; green tea to be more precise.
"What plans do you have for today, Kunimitsu?" asked Ayana as she came to check up on them.
"We might go to Kumoba pond since they haven't been there yet. Then we plan to go souvenir shopping in the afternoon," said Tezuka.
"Do you have other plans for today, auntie," said Eriol in his usual mixed way of talking. He's been fond of adding English words during conversations with his Japanese relatives.
"We were just planning on going souvenir shopping later. I guess we could just meet in the shopping center so we can all buy souvenirs together," said Ayana.
"Will Yumi-chan be coming with you or with us?" asked Kuniko.
"She's going with her onii-san of course. Am I right, princess?" asked Kuniharu as he refilled his teacup.
"Hai, I want to go and see Kumoba pond. We'll meet at the shopping center anyway, ne okaa-san?" said Yumi.
"Yes. Do remember to bring your mobile phone with you so we'll know where you will be," said Ayana, as she addressed her eldest child.
Kumoba pond, also known as ''Swan Lake", is the perfect spot for a walk in the woods. There were tourists walking around, some riding bicycles, as they look around the majestic place. Some, like the two members of the Photography Club, were walking around carrying their cameras as they take pictures.
"It's so pretty," Yumi murmured as she took photos of the lake.
"It's called Swan Lake too, according to the guidebook," said Sanada.
"Yes, Kumoba pond is known for that name as well. Most movies about the Swan Princess shoot here. Some plays also take picture from this place and enlarge them as backdrops," Tezuka explained.
"I feel like Odette when I'm here," said Yumi.
"Odette? Is that the lead character in the story of the Swan Princess?" asked Yukimura.
"Yes, during my ballet lessons before, we performed a dance adapting the story of the Swan Princess," said Yumi.
"Eriol never mentioned you knew ballet, Yumi-chan," said Tomoyo.
"Oh, I do dance but I've already finished the course in the ballet school I entered. I could still study further but I decided I wanted to learn other things other than dancing," said Yumi.
"Yumi's inclined in the arts more than she is in sports. It's odd though, that you're the club manager of a tennis club," said Eriol.
"She's been practicing tennis for a while now," said Oishi.
"She's actually doing a pretty good job at it too," said Fuji.
"Well, Yumi's not exactly the sporty type. I brought her to a golf course once when my family visited and her golf club flew right before she could hit the ball," said Eriol.
"There are other sports that don't fit Yumi though," said Ryoma.
They reached a bench during this time and some of them sat as they tried to enumerate the numerous sports that Yumi can't and won't be able to try even if she wanted to. There were a lot of course, and Yumi openly admitted that she won't be able to do any of them. She's happy enough that tennis is something she can try since she has her brother monitoring her improvement. But even so, Tezuka still had to make an effort to look for the lightest racket available so she wouldn't have any trouble playing tennis.
"She can't do basketball, nya," said Kikumaru.
"Too short," said Ryoma.
"She won't be able to play volleyball either," said Fuji.
"She's too panicky she'd run away from the ball instead of hitting it. Plus, the net is too high she won't even get the ball over it," said Ryoma.
"Soccer won't fit her too," said Sanada.
"She'd slip before she kicks the ball," said Ryoma.
"Hey, I'm not that clumsy!" said Yumi.
"Save it, I know you too well. I saw you try to kick a ball during gym class," said Ryoma.
"Golf is clearly a no-no. She won't be able to carry a bowling ball. She's too skinny for American Football she might get squished," said Oishi.
"Which means Yumi-chan has to do her best in learning tennis, right? It's the only sport that somehow works for you, for now at least," said Tomoyo.
"Too bad though, gramps, would've loved it if you learned martial arts," said Eriol.
"Even if she could I wouldn't let her," said Tezuka.
"Hn, Onii-chan says if I try to learn it I might just break my bones," said Yumi.
"Tezuka-senpai!" they all heard a high pitched voice.
When they turned to see who it was, Sakuno and Osakada came to where they were, both wearing roller skates. It looked totally out of place. They were both in Junior High already and they were both wearing Western clothing that looked totally awkward since their skates looked very much of a kid pair of roller skates. If they were wearing their Seishuun Gakuen uniform they would probably pass as simple kids.
"Interesting…hmm…attire, Ryuuzaki-chan," said Fuji.
"Why thank you very much senpai," said Osakada.
"Why'd you leave us in the horror booth, Ryoma-kun!? We were both so terrified!" Sakuno said exaggeratedly.
"I forgot," Ryoma muttered.
"You forgot?" asked Momo.
"Yeah, I was helping Yumi pass a fence and then we continued walking. I forgot about them," said Ryoma.
"Mou! That's so unfair! You were a complete gentleman for Yumi-san yet you forgot us," said Sakuno.
"It wasn't intentional. He just happens to be forgetful," said Oishi.
"To make it up to us you have to spend the whole afternoon with us," said Sakuno.
"Gomen, we're heading somewhere today," said Ryoma.
"What?! Last time you said you can't because you had somewhere else to be as well. Is it because Yumi-san wants you on her own and doesn't want you to be with me during vacation," said Sakuno.
"Now, now, that's going a little overboard, isn't it?" said Tomoyo in perfect British accented English.
" It's all right," Ryoma answered, in English as well.
"Ryuuzaki-chan, if you have anything to say about Ryoma not coming with you during vacation then I suggest you talk to him. In any case, I think he's not obliged to do anything you say anyway, unless you're his girlfriend," said Yumi.
It was the first time they heard Yumi speak this seriously towards anybody and her spunk totally wowed them. Here was a young girl you'd always hear talking about music and academics during regular days but it seemed that she transforms when offended. She was in the right path though; Sakuno really didn't have any right to demand anything from anyone of them. Plus, involving Yumi in something she's clearly not knowledgeable of is a big mistake she made.
"Well, are you his girlfriend?" asked Yumi.
"No," said Sakuno, with gritted teeth.
"Then I suppose it's clear and that you've understood that you have no hold or say on the matter; neither do you, Osakada-san," said Yumi.
"H-hai," said Osakada.
"If you'll excuse us then, we'll be on our way," said Eriol as he stirred his cousin and her friends away from the two girls.
Sakuno was fuming as she watched the group leave. Her perfect plan to invite her prince to spend the whole day with her was a total flop and she ended up being toppled over by Yumi's words. Even if they were true, Sakuno still got angry at her. Yumi was becoming one of the biggest hindrances
"Daijoubu desu ka Sakuno?" asked Osakada.
"Arrggggh! What do you think?! Let's go!" she screamed.
Meanwhile, the others were already on their way to the shopping district to meet up with the Tezuka family for their souvenir shopping. They were waiting for the others to arrive while inside a coffee shop at the same time chatting about what happened earlier. It was very unexpected, both Yumi's and Sakuno's reactions from each others' statements were clearly out of the ordinary; or at least it wasn't the usual Yumi and the old Sakuno they all knew.
"You were so tough, Yumi-chan, nya," said Kikumaru.
"It was her fault, not mine," Yumi said calmly.
"She handled it pretty well though, ne Tezuka-kun?" said Yukimura.
"I would've preferred it if she didn't respond but her response was on the right side anyway. It really wasn't any of Ryuuzaki's business," said Tezuka.
"I feel sad she's turned out to be such a mean girl, nya," said Kikumaru.
"Here I thought she and Echizen were going to end up together. The first few months of this school year she was so demure and pretty," said Momoshiro.
"Then she came back with a beautiful face and a monstrous attitude problem," said Kikumaru.
"Don't say that Eiji," said Oishi.
"Even so, they're right Oishi. Ryuuzaki really has changed in a negative way. Maybe we should talk to Ryuuzaki-sensei about it," said Fuji.
"Senpai, it isn't any of our business. Just leave her be; I'm sure she'll get over herself," said Ryoma.
"Aren't you even sad, Echizen? She used to have a mad crush on you during the first month of the school year," said Momo.
"Even if she did have a crush on me, I'm not obliged to like her right away. Besides, it's none of my business if she decides to become an angel or a monster," said Ryoma.
After some time the others arrived and they all went to buy their souvenirs. The incident earlier that day was put aside and they all enjoyed their last few days together; Yukimura and Sanada are going back after another day. When evening came they all stayed at the garden while star gazing after dinner. There were only a few days more before summer vacation was over and pretty soon the Seigaku tennis club will be busy once again. Along with that, there were other unexpected occurrences to come in their lives; both positive and negative, or is it only the latter?
Finally done! Weeeeeeh! anyhoo, please review this for me. It'll help me if you give a few suggestions since I want to put a tennis match in the next chapter. This will be the last chapter of the Summer Holidays Series and I hope you like it. I might make side stories in the future...maybe something a bit shorter than this series but it'll definitely be fun to read.
