AN: Hey guys! I'm so happy you've stuck with me for so long. I hope you guys enjoy your reading!

PoT is not mine.

"Waaah Ochibi's year is really ripping it!" Eiji commented as him and Oishi sat on the lawn along with the other Seigaku members.

"Judging from his perfomance.. they made up.." Fuji mumbled to himself, a slight tone of disappointment barely rising from his breath.

"Did you say something Fuji-senpai?" Momo asked.

"Nothing, Nothing at all." Fuji flashed his usual smile.

"Man! You guys have been monsters! You annihilated most of the games." Momo said in disbelief, commenting on Eiji's class.

"V!" Eiji simply replied giving a peace sign.

"It doesn't really matter, each year will have a level representative who wins." Inui said as he opened his thermos.

"Yeah but there will be a champion." Momo sighed.

"Momo, don't you have fate in your class?" Oishi asked.

"What? Of course I do. We won by a landslide! But.. It's the all in all champion title I'm worried about." Momo replied.

"I understand why, I've calculated that your class' victory will be 99% success. I left a percentage open just in case an odd turn out of events will cause your victory to falter." Inui said as he fixed his glasses, obviously addressing it to Eiji's class.

"YEEEES!" Eiji cheered.

"Tomorrow we'll have a waterballoon war." Taka stated as he rubbed his neck, still not sure if he should be excited about the event or not.

"Yeah, aren't you excited?!" Eiji happily asked as he jump on Taka's shoulders making him wobbly for a bit.

"Not at all." A certain cat eyed boy said, everyone looked in his direction as he approached them while drinking his signature ponta.

"ECHIZEEEEEEEEN!" Momo shouted as he instantly ran towards the freshman and gave him a good noogie.

"L-Let.. go.." Ryoma struggled.

"OCHIBIII!" EIji happily greeted as he ran towards the two and teasingly pinched the tennis prince's cheeks.

"Stop torturing the poor kid." Oishi tried to cease the two.

"What brings you here, Echizen?" Fuji asked he still had his smile which is seemigly suspicious from his teammates' point of view.

"You. I want to thank you about THAT." Ryoma said, although thankful he still had his cocky tone.

"You're welcome." Fuji chuckled. The others were oblivious in what the two were talking about.

"That's all. Bye." Ryoma said as he struggled free from his senpais and walked away.

"What was that about Fuji?" Oishi asked.

"You'll see soon enough." Fuji replied.

Ryoma was headed to the vending machine behind the gym when he stumbled upon a very beautiful sight, he smirked as he walked nearer. The auburn haird princess was oblivious with his presence. He took it upon himself to make his presence noticed, he stood behind Sakuno who's still choosing a drink. He blew into her ear making her jump in surprise.

"Ry-Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno exclaimed, her hand placed on the ear which he blew into, her face extremely red, her eyes widened in shock but never the less she's happy to see him.

"Yo." Ryoma greeted.

"What are you doing here?" Sakuno asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to buy a drink." Ryoma replied, he neared her slowly. Sakuno walked backwards, as her prince walked closer, The prince enjoyed the sight before him as he cornered her, her back was on the vending machine and his left hand placed on top of the beverage machine an inch close to Sakuno's head.

Sakuno looked elsewhere, her face burning up.

Then finally, the prince leaned in for a kiss. This time it wasn't as sweet and innocent like before. It was slow yet sultry, their lips were dancing with each other. Sakuno's mind was in shambles, her eyes closed and her body turned weak. Ryoma smirked under their kiss when he pushed the vending machine button. The princess heard a loud clunk and she instanly opened her eyes as her princed pulled away.

Ryoma quickly got the ponta in the chute, and gave a smirk to his very flushed and shocked fair maiden.

"Thank you." Ryoma said as he waved the can of ponta around. He put his other hand on his pocket and just strolled off.

"There's more where that came from." Ryoma added before he comepletely walked away.

"M-MOOOUU!" Sakuno regained the ability to shout.

"I can't believe him, do-d-doing that to me... I...I... GAH!" Sakuno mumbled as she put a coin in the slit once again and decided to get a ponta.

"That was fun." Ryoma smirked to himself.

Meanwhile, in Hyotei Academy.

"Jirou-senpai is really down, ne?" Choutaro asked Shishido in their tennis courts.

"I guess he was busted." Shishido whispered.

Since that encounter he was never the same, he tried really hard to smile, make jokes and sleep more but when he saw his precious Sakuno smile to his rival; He just can't even sleep, although he was happy for her, he was disappointed that she didn't pick him.

"Sakuno-chan.." Her name escaped the magician's lips, he dragged his feet onto the bleachers and just let himself fall on to the seats and lie down.

The sun was beaming down on his closed eyes, his long black lashes just fall into a kiss with his cheeks. Sweat stuck onto his skin, when suddenly a shadow was cast upon the sun. He slowly opened his eyes to see Atobe.

"What do you want?" Jirou asked as he sat up.

"You've been rejected." Atobe simpy said as he leaned on the divider between the courts and bleachers.

"What? Are you going to rub it in my face and tell me 'I told you so'?" Jirou said in a bitter tone.

"No, I'm just here to bless you with an advise."

Jirou looked at the very arrogant captain as a response to proceed in what he's saying.

"If you still love that princess, then I suggest you suck that attitude up and smile for her. That's clearly what she needs to see from you, You're still in her life no matter what. I'll go for the cliche here... If you love something, set it free." Atobe said as he tossed his prized hair.

"I hate it when you're right." Jirou glared at the overly confident man.

"Of course, I am.. After all ..the KING." He emphasized as he walked away.

"Easier said than done... But for her, anything.." Jirou said to himself as he wiped his sweat off.
