Hyotei's First Date

By: NarutoandBleach

When Ryoma gets word that the Hyoutei Captain has become obsessed with him, everyone knows that something is up and Ryoma is keeping secrets from his friends. Are they really dating each other or is this simply a plan to bring two rivals together as one?

[Unexpected Surprise from Shitenhouji]

As if the madness between Atobe and Ryoma didn't end there, he even scheduled a meeting with the wise Shiraishi Kuranosuke of Shitenhouji in order to further expedite his love life, which a lot of people are finding it unfunny, especially among the tennis clubs at Rikkaidai, Hyotei, and Seigaku. This time, Atobe had made sure to leave a message for his butler and secretary to reschedule any upcoming meetings and practice sessions in order to spend time with his lovers. However, a bunch of pissed off teammates are certain to add more fuel to the fire after their so called therapy ends. Unfortunately for Ryoma, he wasn't sure what good would come out of seeing Shiraishi.

"Keigo-sempai, why did you want to see Shiraishi anyway? You know that he is the leader of the health committee and not a love doctor, right? After all, he specializes in healing and watering plants just like Yukimura and that sadist fuji. So what's the deal? Are you trying to get him involved in our love affairs?" said the raven haired teen.

Keigo turned and looked at his friend, "That's exactly what I am trying to get him involved in. After all, only he can help cure me of my sadness and rejection. Luckily, with you around, the great wise Shiraishi will be able to resolve our issues in an instant. Besides if I am to fall in love with you, please cooperate with me since we are going to be a family together! Hahahaha!"

"Oh, please tell me you are kidding right? Like anyone would ever fall for you dude! This whole love scheme is just wrong on so many proportions and I don't know if I am your type or not. Can you please try to reconsider or so?" said Ryoma with a dog-eyed look.

"Sorry brat! But we're not leaving until we get some answers from Shiraishi. Besides I refuse to let you out of my sight, my dear. You are still important to me and I will still keep my love for you for as long as necessary. Besides, you are already aware that you are the perfect type for me right? I wouldn't pick any other person over you since I had my eyes on your pretty little face for a long time now. Anyway, we're here at Shitenhouji, so Shiraishi's clubroom should be somewhere nearby." Finished Atobe as he grabs Ryoma by the hand and entered the building.

As the duo walked across long hallways filled with classrooms, they stumbled across outer hallways filled with faculty lounges, but no sign of the club room. Just then, Atobe could hear some humming across the hallway and decided to investigate and sure enough, they could see Kintaro heading into an open classroom with Kenya following close by and chitose singing the blues as he was still holding up a photo of his beloved tezuka in his hands.

Both of them sweat-dropped at the chain of events. "Seriously, that casanova seems to be obsessed with his lover, I mean come on! When will he get over Tezuka already? He used to be my lover to massage my aching back after my tennis match and now this sex-obsessed lunatic is still not getting over him. Sometimes even I wonder why he still chases after that silent tennis player anyway." Thought Atobe to himself.

"Yup, everyone here at Shitenhouji middle school are crazy and on drugs." Agreed Ryoma. As they continued walking, they could see Shiraishi waving at them a few doors down. Once Ryoma and Atobe approached him, the tan haired captain said, "It's good to see you again after our previous match during the national championship. Come on in, I have been waiting for you after all this time."

"Sure thing, but why did you want to see us so urgently?" asked Ryoma.

"Well, Jiroh told me on the phone earlier that his captain of Hyotei wanted something that can get him back on his feet to gain love. Furthermore, he chose me to assist him since they call me the love doctor. Luckily, I was able to convince Coach Sakaki to bring you down here for our counseling session. Shall we get started?" said Shiraishi.

"Sure of course." Said Atobe as he sets his tennis gear inside the locker next to the door before taking one of the chairs to get himself more comfortable while Ryoma took a seat next to his sempai's desk. Once that was done, Shiraishi immediately cleared off the table and placed the papers inside the drawer before contacting the guards at the greenhouse telling them to let Fuji and Yukimura to water the plants. Then he grabs his phone and said, "Osamu, it's me. Make sure you take Kintaro home since he never catches the train on time, thank you."

Osamu gave an exasperated sigh and said, "Why me? I thought you were supposed to take him home?"

"Sorry, but I have to spend some time talking about bonding and love with a couple of guests today, so please do me this favor and just take him home with you for the day? I know he can be trouble, but you're the only person that can keep him occupied until I get home. Thank you very much."

"Kuranosuke, wait! I didn't-" But Shiraishi didn't let his sensei finish as the line goes dead. Once that was taken care of, Ryoma looked at him and said, "So your plan is to keep us here to talk about how to make love with one another right?"

"That is correct, but I am also looking at your data and I see you both haven't bonded together as much since Keigo has sent you off on one-on-one days, am I right?"

"Yes, that is exactly right. I have been going on those dates for a while now and quite frankly, I have been fulfilling his requests just like he wanted. But he still wanted more since my single dates are not really satisfying him." Added Ryoma.

"Correct. So I came here as a friend and guest, please tell me if there are other ways that that I can make love come to me?" asked Keigo.

'Well, you see I am more of a health specialist and a love doctor, I will do what I can to help since I know Yuushi isn't too fond of this at the moment. Furthermore, I can say with certainty that he was pretty annoyed by your deranged ways to seek love. So therefore, he wanted you to stay here and focus on making out with the girls here at our school before you and Ryoma date each other again." Continued Shiraishi.

"So what you are saying is, you are keeping me and that brat here so that you can monitor our progress on dating the cheerleaders at your school and see how they do at interacting with us, right? Well Ore-sama will do his best to woo your cheerleaders since I know they have never met a handsome guy like me before, but with my charming good looks, those girls will definitely see my good side and will go out on a date with me!" chuckled Atobe as he stood up and made a victory dance all over the clubroom while Shiraishi did he best to avoid letting everything topple to the ground while laughing nervously at Ryoma.

"That diva is really getting fired up. Sometimes I wonder if he is really mentally prepared to take on women in the near future when he gets married." Said Ryoma indignantly while sighing.

"Yeah I know right? Your lover is seriously crazy and is looking forward to getting started. Furthermore, I am not sure where he is going to go with this sort of crazed mind, but we shall see if those girls will really fall for him." Said Shiraishi as he leads the two students into the gym where the cheerleaders will be waiting for them. Unfortunately for Osamu, he wasn't exactly sure what to do with the troublesome kintaro at his house after waiting for him for over a half an hour to finish eating.

Back in the control room, things were just as bad as Yuushi watched what had just transpired in the club room and decided to find Gakuto. As he searched for his doubles partner, he paused to try not to think about what Atobe was planning to do with those girls at Shitenhouji since his cousin would be seriously pissed off at that uninvited guest. However, Kenya placed a reassuring hand on his cousin and said, "Relax cuz! I am sure that that mindless lunatic will figure out a way to get those girls to like him. You've heard what my buchou said right? He will do what he can to handle this since this is just a test to see if those two are lucky enough to pass."

"How can I relax? Those girls are way out of my buchou's league! How can he possibly date all those girls at once with that brat watching like nothing is happening out there? Why on earth did that captain invite those two over there anyway? What's his deal? Well no matter; consider himself lucky to be a love doctor for those two gay couples around him because sooner or later, he will get embarrassed later on. Believe me, Kenya; those two won't last long over there." Grunted Yuushi.

"We shall see about that, won't we? After all, o-chibi has some cunning ways to get out of tennis practice since he has been on the ups and downs. But who can blame him for trying to find love?" continued Eiji.

'That's my Chibisuke, always thinking ahead without trying to falter in the past. But with Shiraishi's help, we will see just how happy those two can get later on." Replied a familiar voice at the door.

"Who are you?" asked Kaidoh.

"The name is Echizen Ryoga, and I am Ryoma's adopted brother. I have been watching him dating for quite some time and frankly, I am very impressed with how well Atobe has taken care of that brat when I was gone. Furthermore, I can see that Atobe has decided to focus all of his attention on my little brother eh? Now, what's this about a girl from Fudomine having a crush on the king of Hyotei?"

"Ah yes about that… Ahem, it seems that Kippei of Fudomine has requested that his sister join in on the love scheme between Atobe and Ryoma since she has been seeing him constantly from time to time. However, I don't know how that will make Shiraishi feel, but it seems that she really is hitting it off with Atobe. At this point, we do not know what Atobe is really thinking when he is double dating both brats at the same time." Stated Akaya.

"Tarundoru! That leech has been hanging around Ryoma for too long and I have done what I can to convince him to leave that kid, but would he ever listen to me? NO! As for Shiraishi, we met once before and he will try his best to put a smile on everyone around him and he admires Yukimura-buchou a lot because he considers that guy brave and unselfish after a disease rendered him unable to play tennis for a while. However, he came out strong in the end and everyone encouraged him to keep going no matter what. Furthermore, our captain's love for plants is what made his bond so strong with Shiraishi and I have him to thank for that. Besides, those two have become so connected together these days just like Ryoma and atobe are right now." Said Sanada as he blushed furiously.

Akaya immediately laughed at his response and said, "Fuku-buchou! I had no idea you still care for that brat! You can be such a sweet guy at times despite your stubbornness and strict demeanor, you know? Those words are really touching."

"Oh, can it! Who said I was that sort of person? I merely just stated the obvious that's all. Besides, all I am saying is that Ryoma should spend more time with a girl his age instead of men since it isn't cool for him to become so gay around them." Finished Sanada.

"Ryoma could be with whomever he wants to, there is nothing wrong with dating people of the same or opposite sex. Besides, if he likes to be popular around the guys, that's his choice. I mean we cannot deny our o-chibi his chance to someday meet the man or the girl of his dreams." Added Krauser.

"Since when did you became such a huge fan of that brat?" asked Kamio.

"I have been dating plenty of girls throughout my high school year and none of them rejected my request to take them dancing or to a movie. Besides, I always leave behind flowers for them as a token of my appreciation since they all want something special after their first impression date. This is the sort of advice that I offered to ryoma not too long ago since he seems to be happy with how to spend his life with someone from another school. I take it he's learned it from you guys?" continued Krauser.

"Well Momo and Eiji were the ones that taught him about how to impress girls and the Silver pair taught him everything they know about how to get the girl or guy of his dreams since he had a lot of training in that field. I am starting to think that brat could be well on his way to take on more beautiful women later on." Finished Oishi.

"Geez! What have you sadists and tree huggers been teaching that brat while he was at Seigaku? Look at him, he practically can't even leave Atobe alone for a single minute!" boasted Kite.

"We are simply looking out for his best interests at heart." Stated Kikumaru.

"Exactly, I mean after all Ryoma is still our hero and our baby. Look at him, he is practically following his brother's footsteps right about now." Said Kawamura.

"So, it seems that it's not just us that taught him well, but Ryoga gave that bratty brother of his a few pointers? That is very interesting." Put in Tanishi.

"We shall see how he does with Shiraishi." finished Chitose.

As the three tennis players headed into the gym, they could see the cheerleaders warming up with their stretches while the others were reciting their lines. Furthermore, Shiraishi nodded them to come over and greet the guests. One by one, the girls shook the hands of Ryoma and the handsome Atobe. Furthermore, the final girl walked up to Atobe and said, "Feel free to contact me at any time on my cell phone and you and I can arrange a date or a movie with each other, my love." She then kissed the diva on the face before he reached into his pocket and gave her his business card with the contact info.

"No problems babe! And I would love to spend some more time getting to know you better. How about a little dinner at my villa some time?" smiled Atobe sheepishly.

At that moment, Shiraishi and Ryoma both sweat-dropped at what Atobe was doing and were attempting to drag him out of the gym when he slapped their hands away.

"Unhand me! That woman is looking forward to being my date starting in the next few weeks and you guys are not going to ruin that for me!" boasted Atobe.

"Oh come now! And here I thought my date with Fuji Syusuke ended even worse. How are you even certain that girl will go for you? Have you even met her before?" asked Shiraishi.

"Of course not! It's my first time dating her, so relax, my good captain! After all, we are going to see which one of those girls will be our first experimental impression date. Furthermore, my girls are really excited to meet the woman of my dreams and I do believe they will have to dispense tickets to the guests that will be showing up at my house in about a couple of weeks from now. Therefore, it would be nice if I could have you distribute some tickets for your team and I will inform Rikkadai, Hyotei and many other schools to attend." Added Atobe.

"Are you sure this is really necessary? I mean what do you think Osamu would say if he found you stealing a girl from our school? This could really tarnish our reputation as tennis players, you know?" protested Shiraishi.

"Oh come on! I don't think that should be an issue. After all, Atobe is here looking for love and he has found the perfect girl for himself. Besides, Koshimae here has been stalking Atobe for some time now so I think he should give the diva a break for a while, wouldn't you say, Sempai?" grinned Kintaro.

Ryoma immediately glared at his rival and said, "Who told you I was stalking Atobe? I am temporarily dating him until he could come to his senses and quite frankly, I don't know how long that is going to take. Furthermore, if he really wants that girl, give him a chance to prove his worth, do you agree, Shiraishi-sempai?"

"Yes, of course Ryoma. After all, I have to make sure Atobe takes good care of my cheerleader and hopefully make sure her hair is cut, make sure he treats her well, and making sure that she is feeling more welcomed by Atobe's teammates later on. I am sure they won't mind meeting my girl since she is very outgoing and energetic too. All the other girls are really beautiful, but this girl is one of my favorites and compared to the rest of them, only she has the power to make people fall in love with her. So I want you guys to do your best to make this girl happy, do you understand?" ordered Shiraishi.

Kintaro looked at his captain with shock and awe. "My, my, you and Atobe-sempai are absurdly popular among the ladies, aren't you?" Soon, he could hear bouts of snickering coming from Echizen, especially from the teammates in the control room. Soon, everyone could hear Ryoga holding his sides while laughing. Everyone else were giggling like maniacs since they are not sure where Atobe will be going with this new girl from Shitenhouji with Ryoma and An in tow.

"Look at that, sis. You got some strong competition from your lover. Maybe you could take a few lessons from him before you start dating him again." Laughed Kippei. Soon An, gave him a glare before elbowing her brother in the shoulder.

"Shut up, Kippei! The only girl that lunatic ever loves is me! Not some skank from Shitenhouji!" shouted An. Soon, everyone in the room fell to the ground laughing at An's comment before her brother placed his hands over her mouth.

"Not so loud, sis! You know how Shiraishi-sempai feels about you insulting his cheerleader member. Do you want to get slapped by the dark and scary sempai from Shitenhouji?" asked Kippei. "You know I have deep respect for that guy since we faced them previously and lost graciously. Therefore, you don't need to lash out at a cheerleader you've never met before. Please calm yourself down and give her a chance, won't you?"

Ann thought about that for a minute and sighed exasperatedly. "All right then, I guess I can let this slide for now. But I better not see any monkey business from that girl in my house, do I make myself clear?" she said sternly.

Everyone agreed with her since there was no way that she was going to let Atobe win that girl over her since she is far too popular to be casted aside just like Ryoma. And even he had to agree with An since she just sent him a text on his phone in order to remind him of the situation at hand.

"keigo, looks like an isn't going to let you off the hook until you can prove to her that this so called cheerleader is worthy to be your date. I think she is issuing a challenge for you. So do you accept it?" asked Ryoma.

"Of course! Ore-sama never backs down from a challenge from the queen of tennis, ahn! Besides, I will definitely let this new girl take her on since she is a tennis pro herself. After all, Shiraishi was the one that trained her to be the very best. So therefore, I have to be careful around ann since we might never know what sort of punches she can throw at us." Said Atobe.

"That's true, I mean you are falling for almost every single girl you are coming across. No wonder you are the most popular diva among the tennis players." Smiled Ryoma

"Well, thank you! That just made me a lot happier thanks to your motivation. Also Shiraishi, what do you suggest for a guy that is trying to find love?" asked Atobe.

'Well, to be perfectly honest with you, you can always ask her what movies she likes to see and what games she likes to play during her free time. Also, you might want to do something to represent your school when you have a girl with you on the tennis courts. Maybe have the team arrange some sort of a party at the clubhouse or so? Maybe have Yuushi play some music that she likes to listen to. Those are just a few suggestions that I have for you. Above all, have fun with her and have the team know her better. I am sure Ryoma would want to do the same thing, wouldn't you?" Shiraishi turned towards Ryoma before ruffling his raven hair.

"Well, I am more than happy to accompany her to a bowling match later on, but I am not sure what Sakuno or kevin would say about this and you know how they feel about this so—" But before he could finish that sentence, Ryoma could hear his phone ringing and he immediately picked it up. "Moshi-Moshi, Ryoma speaking."

"Hey, Ryoma-kun! This is kevin, how are you?" asked the blonde American.

"hello to you too, kevin! What's going on with you?"

"Well, I heard a rumor that your gay boyfriend is bringing home a new girl from Shitenhouji and I was wondering, does she like American rock and roll? I still have a few cd collections of famous rock and roll singers. So what do you suggest?"

"I don't know, but I can put Atobe on the line for you since he knows more about music than I do. Hang on a second." Ryoma then paused and said, "Keigo-sempai! Kevin's on the phone for you!"

Atobe immediately walked over and took the phone from Ryoma and said, "Hello kevin, I see you haven't given up on Ryoma's girlfriend yet. Before I get to your question, tell me what do you see in Sakuno?"

"Excuse me?" asked Kevin.

"I asked you what you see in Sakuno. Don't make me repeat it again." Said Atobe begrudgingly.

"Well, I can tell you this, she is hot and sexy and pretty too. I think she is a perfect date for me because when I first saw her in Seigaku, I was like Oh my god! That girl is one hot babe! I would seriously forget about dating the girls back in America and focus on finding chicks in Japan which eventually brings me back the reason why I chose to transfer schools. Anyway though, what was your next question? Oh yes, the music right? The beach boys, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, etc. There are so many out there so do any of these suit your girl?"

Shiraishi immediately cut in, "my girl likes Buddy Holly since she is a huge fan of him and sometimes calls up her friends back in America to send her the songs via phone. So if you like, feel free to text Atobe the songs from Buddy holly when you get a chance." And with that, Shiraishi immediately rushed back towards the gym to finish his training on the remaining cheerleaders.

"Well, you got your answer, kevin. I wonder if Sakuno likes the same kind of music as well?" asked Atobe.

"As a matter of fact, Sakuno doesn't listen to much rock and roll music, she prefers Beethoven and Mozart. A few weeks ago, Yuushi had invited her over to his house for a little one on one concerto performance and she was most amazed by his performance. Furthermore, she recorded the entire thing onto her phone and kept it in her memory for life." Continued kevin.

"No way! Are you kidding? Wow, no wonder Yuushi has a way to entertain the girls with his lively performance. Well then, I will have to ask him to sample some classical music for my girl next time I go to his house since we both live very close to each other. Sometimes I will invite him over for a little cup of tea before I show him some of my classical favorites. Furthermore, I think we both have some common interests going on with our girls lately."

"Exactly my point! I do believe that this is my first date with Sakuno and probably, your first time meeting a new girl so we should get together sometime for a little fun time, what do you say?" continued kevin.

"I think I can work something out with my schedule and besides, I think Sakuno would love to meet my girl as well, wouldn't you say? Besides though, my coach would probably want to get to know her and see if she has the skills she needs to cheer on my teammates later on. But we shall take it one step at a time." Finished Atobe.

"I like the way you think, mr Tannhauser Master! Anyway, I need to go. Sakuno is probably waiting for me to fix her hair before we go bowling. So I will be waiting for your response later on." Said Kevin. But before he could hang up the phone, Ryoma immediately took it from his rival's hand and said, "Are you at Sakuno's house right now?" He was shocked at what just happened.

"Oh, don't worry! Sakuno is in good hands with me and I will take good care of her. Besides, her grandmother invited me over to her house so that I can keep her company." Smiled Kevin.

"Wait, what!? How did my coach approve of this? That's just unbelievable!" groaned Ryoma.

"Well, I asked the coach if she could let me stay at Sakuno's place and she agreed. Therefore, Sakuno needed someone to keep an eye on her and that's where I come in for the job. So, here I am! Anyway, need to go, talk to you later!" And with that, the phone goes dead as Ryoma closed it up and placed it back in his pocket before jumping up and down in frustration.

Back in the control room, Yuushi and the others couldn't believe what they just heard as he moved into the recording studio. "Hey, Tokugawa, I hope you got that all on tape."

Tokugawa nodded at his friend and said, "Yup, I heard everything loud and clear so this should work well in our favor. I just couldn't believe that Atobe and kevin would team up to let the girls meet each other in person so soon. This is just weird."

"Indeed, but either way, I am not sure what to say to my deranged captain now that he is inviting all of us to his villa for another boring party. Also, I overheard that the cheerleading girl likes rock and roll so shall we hit the store to see what else is available?" asked Yuushi.

"I think your cousin and Shishido should be able to take care of that department without issues." Continued Tokugawa.

"But shishido barely knows anything about rock and roll music!" protested Yuushi.

"What was that Yuushi? How dare you! I know a lot about rock and roll so don't try to play that trick on me!" shouted Shishido as he stood up with his hand rolling into a fist.

Yuushi turned around nervously and could see a deadly aura coming out of his teammate and sighed. There was no way that he could argue about it now with Choutaro grumbling. Furthermore, everyone else in the room laid back slack-jawed as Yuushi grabbed his cousin and his teammate and rushed out the door towards the music store.

Meanwhile, at the classroom, Kintaro patted his friend on the back and said, "Allow me to offer my congratulations to your gay lover for finally meeting the girl of his dreams. May you guys have a long journey to become a perfect family together and good luck on getting married."

At that moment, Ryoma and Shiraishi broke down guffawing loudly at Kintaro's moving speech while atobe jaw dropped. He had never expected to hear such an embarrassing thing coming out of jungle boy's mouth as he crossed his arms and said, "I beg your pardon, jungle boy! If I was marrying her now, what would her family say? They could try to accuse me of committing adultery! Furthermore, the only person that I wanted to marry is Ryoma Echizen because he is the only boy that I will cherish in my heart forever." With that, he immediately grabbed the brat by the back of his shirt and hugged him.

Ryoma felt a bit uncomfortable by atobe's antics and said, "Will you knock it off, Atobe! Are you proposing some sort of a royal marriage among us?"

"That's not what his intentions are. Did you listen to what kevin said on the phone? His speech was just so moving that it was exactly the way I predicted since we both want to encourage you guys to take good care of the girls and ensure that your dates go smoothly as planned. We are not asking you to get married right away, we're simply giving you a few tips on the topic of love so use them wisely. Besides, I could ask kevin to be my assistant later on since he is so good at helping people find love. Anyway, you guys should be able to enjoy your stay here in Osaka because I have made arrangements for you guys to stay somewhere more fitting thanks to some generous help from Atobe here." Smiled Shiraishi as he escorted his friends outside the school grounds with Kintaro following them.

"That's very kind of you, Shiraishi-sempai, but why is Kintaro coming after us?" asked Atobe.

"Oh dear, Osamu was supposed to take him back to his place about an hour ago, why is he still here?" groaned Shiraishi as he picked up the phone. Soon, Ryoma and Atobe headed outside and went towards their hotel before saying good bye to their love doctor after thanking him for his help.

"you know, you have got a ton of crazy imagination in your head lately." said Ryoma indignantly.

"For your information, brat. My brain is filled with ways to get you to be happy with my decision. So try to keep up." Said Atobe as he plopped Ryoma's forehead with a snap of his finger.

"What was that for, monkey king?" shouted Ryoma.

"Please refer to me as King Atobe, you little brat! If you must know I am trying to get you to be happy for me since you can't seem to grasp at the concept of love. Maybe you should have your brother help you since he has ways to make you fall in love any way possible!" continued Atobe.

"Why are you asking Ryoga? What does he know about love?" asked a confused Ryoma.

"you will see soon enough. Anyway we are here at the hotel, shall we unpack before heading out for dinner? What would you like to eat this time?" asked Atobe.

"Anything that will get my stomach pumping. I haven't had Chinese food in a long time." Said Ryoma as he rubbed his empty stomach.

"okay then, how about you my love?"

"Well, I think I will pass this time, but I will just have a few drinks with you guys before I head home for the day."

"I see, well that's understandable, but I will make arrangements to talk to your parents so that we can set up a date for just the two of us. In the meantime, let's unpack!" Atobe then dragged Ryoma into the hotel, picked up the keys and entered their rooms to settle in for the day since that girl was certain to make those two feel very comfortable in a public environment setting.

While most of the streets of Tokyo were busy going about their business, Yuushi, Shishido, and Kenya browsed around the stores for rock and roll music since they are certain to make their teammates succeed in finding love in both cities. Furthermore, this will be a battle to determine which couple will spend the most time together. But there is also a tennis challenge that will serve as an obstacle along the way.

"Our captain and the brats should have no problems passing our challenge." Chuckled yuushi.

"Indeed, so did you know that Kintaro has suggested a royal marriage for Atobe and Ryoma?" said Kenya.

"Excuse me? A royal marriage?" asked a shocked Shishido.

"Yes, it was suggested by my annoying teammate since he wants to see what it is like for Ryoma when he and that girl gets betrothed by him." Finished Kenya.

Yuushi and Shishido jaw-dropped at that response before unleashing the biggest rant of all time, causing the entire city of Osaka to rumble in fear.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" they both shouted in unison as the CDs clattered to the ground.

"Are you guys okay? What is going on?" asked the store manager.

!Wow! a royal marriage, a new girl in atobe's life, and Ryoma still uncertain about his love life. These things are now intertwined together since Kevin and Sakuno are spending a great deal of time together thanks to her grandmother. This is certainly going to be some pretend marriage since we know that someone is behind this entire scheme. But we will find out who did it in the next chapter. See you next time
