[A/N]: Well, here's chapter five (^_^) Thank you again for your reviews! I hope you'll like this chapter.

Again, I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS OR THE CHARACTERS. THIS IS PURE FANFICTION.

"I know, I'm sorry… and Yamada-san, please stop calling me with my full name,"

"Sorry, I'm still used to calling you Ryusa Kisan, since I'm not sure how to address a new co-worker!"

"Ryusa-san you really should be careful!"

"Sorry, you really shouldn't worry about me, and you can call me Ryusa-san if you'd like!"

"Ryusa… Kisan?" Ryoma was dumbfounded after hearing the staff members' conversation, "Seems like I'm hearing things," he mumbled to himself, "Why do I keep remembering that girl?"

Next he decided to go to the garden. There were wonderfully trimmed hedges and rose bushes surrounding the center of the garden. In the center was a huge flowing fountain, the water appears to sparkle when it is seen with light. As he gazed at the water he heard a rustling behind the bushes. He checked to see what was making the sound. He came closer and closer, and when he reached for the hedge…

"Whaaa!" something came out of the bush!

"Hey, get off of me!" Ryoma demanded.

"S-sorry, ah.. Koshimae," the man answered.

"Y-you? Why the heck are you here?" Ryoma asked trying to get up.

"Y-yeah well, it's a funny story actually... it seems that I wondered off and before I knew it, I was lost," Kintarou explained, "Do you happen to kno- … Oi! Koshimae where are you going," he shouted as Ryoma started walking away.

"As far away from you as possible," he retorted.

"Koshimae! Aren't you even going to give me directions?" Kintarou complained

"The exit's that way, the entrance to the hotel is over there," he replied as he pointed at both directions.

"I'm not going home yet! My friend is waiting for me inside!" Kintarou whined in a childish voice.

"Then go already," Ryoma replied.

"Good Evening to all our guests here tonight! Now that almost everyone is here, let us please start the program!" An announcement from inside was given.

"Eh! The program is about to start! See ya Koshimae! I have to hurry!" Kintarou left in a hurry leaving Ryoma who was headed inside too. When Ryoma reached his seat he was just in time to see the start of the program.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, our host for tonight… She is one of our newly rising young stars, along with her friend and co-host, one of Japan's new top athletes! Let's give a warm welcoming applause to Ms. Ryuzaki Sakuno and Mr. Tooyama Kintarou!

Ryoma was in shock after he heard that last sentence. "What did he say? Tooyama and… Ryu..zaki..?"

"Good Evening and thank you to everyone," the celebrity he saw earlier, the one that was fawned over by the guests, it was her!

"Is that really Ryuzaki?" Ryoma's eyes widened as he looked at the lady in front of his eyes.

"Now, can you tell us the schedule of activities we're going to have tonight, Sakuno-chan?" Kintarou casually spoke to her. "Why of course, Kin-chan!"

"Sakuno-chan? Kin-chan?" Ryoma thought to himself, "Since when were they so close to address each other like that?" Ryoma shook his head, "No, it must be just a stage act!"

Minutes passed and the program went on, "Now everyone, we will have a short intermission. Because tonight, we will also have professional athletes speak in front of us and the press will ask them questions. Anyone can asks questions!" the hostess spoke, "That's right! Think of it as a press-con but even the audience and fans can ask!" the co-host followed.

"What the? I don't remember reading that in the letter!" Ryoma grabbed his invitation along with the letter that was sent to him, "hold on…" He found a separate paper folded behind the letter, "Why didn't I notice this earlier… it is all mentioned here… I really should read more of this," Ryoma's face frowned.

"Now may we call on our first guest, Sakuno-chan, please tell us who it is!" Kintarou stated.

"Hai!" Sakuno pulled out a name from a small envelope, "Hai! First up is…" she read the name, "Mr. Echizen Ryoma!"
