[A/N]: Thank you again for the reviews! xD Hope you'll continue reading. Sorry I barely updated today, I was sleeping all afternoon xD hahaha

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

Sakuno's eyes widened and looked at the guests, "R-Ryoma-kun is here?" she faced and whispered to Kintarou, "Oh… yeah I forgot to tell you about that." Kintarou explained.

"Eh, Me?" Ryoma thought to himself, "Why do I have to be the first? And why does this press-con sound less like a press-con and more like a raffle?" he kept his thoughts to himself and stood up.

"Mr. Echizen, please come up here!" Kintarou announced.

As Ryoma walked up the stage, Sakuno gazed at him walking forward. Their eyes met but Sakuno immediately looked away, and so did Ryoma. For some reason he couldn't bear to look her in the eyes as simply as he used to five years ago. He felt something odd in his chest, now that he exchanged glances with her. Lots of thoughts and questions filled his head, but right now wasn't the time for him to ask questions. Right now he is supposed to answer the questions.

Hands started to raise and he started answering questions.

"Mr. Echizen, what do you plan to do now that you're the first Japanese Tennis Player who became a pro under the age of sixteen?"

"Mr. Echizen, have you ever tried of building a mansion with all the money you've earned in your four years of being a pro-tennis player?"

Questions were asked and answered. It was first all about his tennis career, but later on it started to become more personal.

"Mr. Echizen, is it true that you have a girlfriend but you refuse to let the public know?"

"Mr. Echizen, is it true that you are dating a rich young lady from New York?"

Ryoma started to look pissed and wondered how those silly rumors were made, "All of those you asked are untrue," he replied

"One last question Mr. Echizen, is it true that you had someone you like here in Japan and left her to go to New York to play tennis?"

That last question somehow bugged him, he couldn't answer immediately.

"We're very sorry but this press-con might have turned out to be a paparazzi," a voice suddenly spoke, "We apologize but the rules say you aren't allowed to ask those kind of personal questions," everyone looked at who spoke. It was Sakuno.

"Ah, yes. The rules do say that we cannot ask the speakers these types of questions," Kintarou followed.

Ryoma was saved by what the two just announced, and with that, Ryoma's turn was finally finished.

"And now we will move on to the next! Sakuno-chan, please tell us who it is!" Kintarou spoke, "Hai!" as Sakuno pulled out another name.

Minutes went by, names were called and questions were answered. While Ryoma got bored so he decided to go outside for a bit to cool off.

"Okay, that's about the last!" Sakuno announced

"Wait! We have a question for you guys too!"

"Eh? Is that allowed?" Sakuno asked, "I don't see anything wrong with that, ne, Sakuno-chan?" Kintarou whispered to her ear. "Okay," Sakuno smiled, "What would you like to ask?"

"This is a question for both of you," One of the reporters asked.

While they were talking, Ryoma was headed to the door.

"What is it?" Kintarou asked.

"Is it true that you guy are dating?"

Ryoma stopped just when he was about to reach for the doorknob when he heard that last sentence.
