A/N: From here on out I don't think I'll be putting much "School time" in because I don't get to write about some characters as much as I would like to… Sorry and also Thanks :3

Chapter 3

"So… You won many titles in the American tournament…"

"4" The boy's big golden eyes gazed up at his new coach who just cleared her throat.

"Ok… So you won 4 titles in America for junior tennis, and would like to join our tennis club?" Ryuzaki sensei flipped over the pages of Ryoma's reports.

"Hai." Ryoma looked down at the tennis court through the window and spotted a few of his classmates practicing. 'mada mada dane.' He thought to himself.

"Ok, I have actually gotten a call from your father so, I'll just have to go and talk to your new Buchou about this. I'll go and introduce you right-"As Ryuzaki sensei stood up from her chair organizing the papers Ryoma handed her, someone busted through the door panting.

"I would like to join the tennis club too!" Ryoma's eyes widened as he watched his best friend bowing. "Onegaishimasu!" The blond glared at Ryoma for not discussing this matter with him, but Ryoma just shrugged it off and smirked.

"Um… ok, sure…" the stunned woman headed towards the door. "Follow me you kids." She inwardly chuckled thinking 'interesting…'

-At the tennis court-

Tezuka noticed his coach approaching and put Oishi in charge of his duties and walked over to the three figures entering the tennis court.

"Ah, Tezuka!" Ryuzaki sensei waved and observed the others practicing.

"Hai sensei" Tezuka bowed a little, and noticed Ryoma and Kevin staring at him straight in the eye. 'Yes! He's joining!' He inwardly thought.

"These two wanted to join, but I need to talk to u about this one in particular." Ryuzaki sensei pointed at Ryoma who adjusted his cap so Tezuka couldn't see him smirking.

"Ah, yes… and I have a matter to discuss with you too sensei, Hyotei and Rikaidai wanted to have practice matches with us so I invited them here. Is that alright with you?" Ryuzaki pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.

"Well… you already invited them over so there is no point in telling you that they can't come… And Ryoma and Kevin, you may go and play a bit of tennis."

"Hai" the two said in unison and walked away each of them grabbing a tennis racquet. Tezuka and Ryuzaki sensei started to discuss the matters about Ryoma participating in the intra-school ranking tournaments. Ryoma and Kevin were soon spotted by everyone in the courts who whispered amongst themselves.

"OCHIBI!!" a certain red head bounced over to his stunned looking kohai and hugged him with full force.

"Sempai… Can't… BREATHE…" The poor victim was starting to turn blue. Kevin who was watching from besides his 'best friend' backed away clutching onto his tennis racquet. Oishi dashed over and with the help of Fuji and Takashi, was finally able to pull off their love seeking kitty off the young kohai who was already recovering from the attack.

"mada mada dane." Ryoma pulled his cap down and grabbed Kevin's arm dragging the blonde to an empty court. "Hey Kevin don't forget this is just a practice ok?" Ryoma winked at Kevin who blushed.

"Of course Ryoma." And the two just hit the ball back and forth each other without even giving any effort to score from eachother. Tezuka's eyes flitted towards the two and a frown formed on his forehead.

"Sensei, they really just look like regular players. I hardly doubt they can beat a regular non-less a 2nd year-" Tezuka was interrupted by a crowd of visitors swarming in.

"Atobe" Tezuka nodded in acknowledgement.

"Tezuka." The captain of the Hyotei tennis club however just merely glanced at Tezuka. Atobe glanced around the tennis courts and spotted no-one at interest. At first.

"Ore-sama is only doing this because he owes you a favor, ne Kabaji?" Atobe looked over his shoulder to find Kabaji in his usual spot.

"Usu." He replied short and simple. Ryoma noticed this and motioned for Kevin to come follow him. Kevin blinked twice and followed Ryoma.

"Ara? Who's this?" Atobe spotted the chibi power-walking towards him.

"Ne monkey king, have a match with me." Ryoma pointed his racquet at the angered captain.

"WHAT?! YOU SHALL NOT ADRESS ORE-SAMA WITH THAT DISGRACEFULL NAME ahn!" Behind him however, his team mates chucked out of pure amusement. No-one, and I repeat, NO-ONE EVER insulted Atobe.

"So, play with me. If I win, I'll call you Atobe-Sama. But if I win, you have to stop with the ore-sama thing." Ryoma smirked lowering his racquet.

"Ore-sama accepts your challenge. Ore-sama will regret you ever challenged ore-sama. Ne kabaji?" Atobe held out a hand indicating that he wanted his racquet to be placed there. Tezuka pinched the bridge of his nose and mentally thought, 'I'll just asses this new kid by this match.'

-Game-

"No way, that kid just did the twist serve!" There was murmuring in he courts.

"Game and the match, Seigaku Echizen Ryoma, 7-5!" The referee announced the final score for everyone to hear. Tezuka, along with the rest of the regulars, Oishi, Eiji, Kawamura, Inui, Kaido, and Momo, all couldn't hide the shocked expression on their face. Ryoma slowly paced himself towards the net.

"Ne monkey king, you need to stop using Ore-Sama now." Ryoma smirked and adjusted his cap once again so that everyone could see his eyes. "Mada mada dane." Ryoma chuckled and walked towards Kevin.

"You went easy on him." Kevin placed a hand on Ryoma's shoulder and raised an eyebrow.

"Che." Was the reply Kevin got from Ryoma.

"Kuso… That BRAT!" Atobe cursed under his breath, and then added in his head 'that brat beat THE ore-sama so easily… and if ore-sama is not mistaken, he's just a freshman!' He glanced over at his team-mates to find all of them laughing out loud (LOL). Atobe glared at each and every one of them until he was interrupted by the Rikaidai captain. Yukimura buchou.

"Hello Tezuka." The captain greeted smiling. His long-ish purple hair grew longer than when Tezuka last saw him. Ryoma stiffened at the sound of this familiar voice.

"Yukimura." Tezuka nodded in acknowledgement. Ryoma slowly turned around at the familiar name as well, his eyes unfocused and spotted the person he was looking for. Ryoma and Yukimura's eyes met.

"Ryo…"

"Seii…" The two said in unison. Yukimura's eyes widened to see that the boy he had loved has come back.

"How did you..?" He couldn't help but ask and walked towards the stunned boy.

"Seii… I finally found you" Ryoma smiled and tears flowed down his cheeks. At this moment, the two could only see each other, hear each other, their audience forgotten.
