[At the exit of the airport]
"Nene. Does anyone know a nearby tennis court?" Yuka asked.
"But we promised mom to be back before its dark."Yuta protest.
"Come on, just one game. I want to stretch my muscles after a long flight." She replied back. Yuta when over to Fuji and he gave his little brother an okay sign.
"Fine. But just one game." Yuta told her. As he lead the group to a nearby tennis court that he always goes to. "Yata! We are at a court…so who wants to play against me?" she asked.
"I will play." Momo-senpai offered.
"I wanted to play against her." Echizen argued back.
"Then let's play doubles." Yuka suggested.
"Ok then. I will partner with Yuka-chan." Eiji cheered as he wrap his arm around her neck.
"Yeah." She took of her jacket and took out her favorite blue tennis racket." Let's have a good game." She said in English. Everyone else was just stun from the sudden change in language, except Echizen.
"Ochibi-chan what did she just say?" Eiji ask the freshman.
"She said let's have a good game." the kouhai replied.
"Ohhhhhh.." everyone thought. They took off their school jacket and took out their rackets. Fuji, Yuta and Kawamura stood at the sides to watch the game.
"which side?" Momo-senpai asked.
"Rough." The racket spin and landed on the rough side. Yuka pulled out a tennis ball and prepared to serve. As she walked to the baseline to serve she mumbled," let's have fun."
She tosses the yellow ball into the air and served it. It was easily returned by Echizen.
[FF: game 1:1]
"40:40" Yuta announced.
"Not bad. But anata wa hyaku-nen haya sugidesu watashi o taosu tame ni*." She smirked and said, then turned to Kikumare-senpai and whispered" let's take it up a notch." He nodded and served to ball. But Momoshiro-senpai returned it with Jack Knife but Yuka just return that move twice as powerful to Echizen's side but he was unable to return it.
"Game Kikumare-Yuka pair, 2 games :1."
"Kikumare-senpai, can we finish this in ten minutes?" Yuka asked.
"Hai Nyan."
[Echizen & Monoshiro]
"Echizen! Why did you let's that shot go through?!" Momo yelled.
"Even if I reached that shot. The ball would just hit the racket out of my hands." Echizen trying to defend himself,"But that will not happen again." He mentions and served the yellow tennis ball.
[Yuka & Kikumare]
"Let's keep it at this pace. Kikumare-senpai you take the front, I got the back." Yuka instructed him as she easily return Echizen's twisted serve.
"Ok." And a rally started between Eiji-senpai and Momo-senpai. Until he accidentally lob the ball, Yuka ran up to the ball and smash it in to the opponents court, earning them a point.
"15: love"
"Let's continue at this pace." Eiji and Yuka chanted.
[The group outside]
"Fuji. Your imoto is good."Taka-san commented." But I'm still stun on how she was able to return both Jack Knife and Twist serve."
"Yeah I agree. But Yuka is not using her full strength."Fuji replied.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"She is giving them handicap by using her left hand-" Yuta answered.
"-but she is actually a right-hander like me."Fuji finished.
"So she is a southpaw like Echizen. But what do you mean she is barely using her full strength?" Taka-san asked again.
"Honesty we don't know her full strength." The Fuji brothers replied together.
[Back to the game]
"Game set KIkumare and Yuka pair, games 6:1" Yuta announced. Momoshiro and Echizen were lying on the floor panting heavily. Whilethe other two were cheering on their victory.
"Good game, Echizen-kun and Momoshiro-senpai. Demo Mada mada desu." She commented and helped thought two back on their feets and she was not even sweating like them. They walk back to their senpais to pack up, the silence was broke when Yuka grumbled that she was hungry.
"That was why we wanted to go home but you insisted to go to a tennis court."Yuta then started lecturing her. As the group headed home.
[Before parting]
"Arigato mena, for following us to fetch our sister."Shusuke thanked everyone.
"No prob. It was fun playing with Yuka-chan."Kikumare grin back at the Fuji siblings.
"Yuka-chan next time I want a one on one match with you." Momo said.
"I will be waiting."
"Me too." Echizen said too.
"We will see you tomorrow." and everyone parted ways.
