"She is what?" Ryoma asked in surprise

"No longer with us" Tomoka repeated

"Yeah I heard you the first time! W-what do you mean 'no longer with us'? Are you saying she's…" an expression of uneasiness filled Ryoma's usually emotionless face.

"No, no, it's not what you think!" Horio stated

"Eh? T-then, she's okay?" Ryoma asked, dumbfounded.

"Absolutely! What did you think happened to her?" Tomoka smiled and winked at Ryoma's uneasy facial expression

"Don't leave me hanging again, where is she?" he asked straightforwardly.

"Well, let's just say she can't be here right now because… She transferred to a different school." Tomoka explained.

"Oh… that's good to hear," Ryoma let out a long sigh after being relieved, "For a second there I was worried that she…" he whispered to himself.

"Eh? It's good to hear that Sakuno-chan's no longer with us?" Tomoka suddenly blurted out a question.

"No! Not that! I'm just glad that she's okay!" Ryoma explained. "Where exactly is she right now?"

"Well since it is passed 5pm, she's probably headed to work right now," Tomoka explained to them.

"I hope she doesn't tire herself with work every day though…" Kachiro blurted out a statement of concern.

"Yeah, she's been really busy lately and has less time to hang with us," Katsuo followed.

"I bet she probably forgot about us right now!" Horio blurted out.

"Idiot! " Tomoka smack Horio's head from behind, "She's just too busy right now because there are a lot of preparations she has to do for this upcoming week. It's gonna be hectic you know!"

"What are you guys talking about now? And what is this job of hers anyway?" Ryoma asked

"Well, it's kind of a long story," Horio sighed, "anyway, what's that paper you've been holding there? Can I see?" Horio reached for the piece of paper Ryoma was holding

"None of your business," Ryoma retorted as he dodged Horio's hand.

"I see that Ryoma-kun hasn't changed much!" Kachiro stated

"Yeah, we're glad you didn't change!" Katsuo followed

"Of course! This is Ryoma-sama we're talking about! He wouldn't let fame and stardom change him just like that!" Tomoka proudly yelled out, "We should hold a welcoming party for Ryoma-sama! Right now!"

"Hold on!" Katsuo interrupted

"Eh, why?" Tomoka asked

"Ryoma-kun… he just left," Katsuo exclaimed.

"Eh? Ryoma-sama! Where are you going?" Tomoka shouted running after Ryoma

"Err.. That Osakada (=_=)" Horio grumbled

"Haha, that's alright Horio-kun!" Kachiro and Katsuo stated trying to cheer up Horio.

Ryoma went straight to his house; luckily Tomoka didn't follow him all the way home. He started to unpack his things and as he went around the stuff in his bag. As he pulled out one of his clothes, an object which appears to be a tennis ball was pulled out along with it. It rolled on the floor and when it finally stopped rolling, it revealed a drawing on the surface of the tennis ball. He saw a drawing, a drawing which resembles his image. Then he remembered that ball; that ball that was given to him by…

"Ryuzaki…" he whispered to himself.
