DISCLAIMER: I WISH I Own Prince of Tennis
OT: For my RyomaXReina readers, I'd be putting the story in a (SHORT) hiatus. Primarily to avoid clogging the update queue for a little while... Gomen. It'll be short though! Ah, for those who do not know who Amou Nami is, she is a nice girl, so please don't expect her effect on the Pillar pair be those of classic villainess .

CHAPTER 8: Train
RIKKAI HIGH
"Marui-kun, play a match with Kirihara."
"Yanagi-kun, please guide the freshmen on how to properly do back swings."
"Ah, Hudou-kun, you need to do push-ups. Please do 50. Now."
"Niou-kun, do stop horsing around."
"That group over there with Imai-kun? Run 20 laps now."
And they did just that.
Echizen Ryoma mentally whistled at Japan's number one team's lack of resistance. Only a day had passed since Yukimura's first day (as captain) and Ryoma concluded that everyone was already used to him. These people must be incredibly used to being bossed around. And she was just looking at the few non-regulars running around far from the courts.
Her ears jerked at the sound of footsteps that she only heard when it was already a meter away. She slightly tilted her head to see who it was. She found a very small mental smile creeping up her face.
"You're right." The just-arrived Sanada said, apparently knowing what she was thinking about. "We are similar."
"Uh-huh."
"He's milder when it came to actual wording, though."
"Told you so." She paused. "And probably less loud."
Sanada's eye twitched and started retorting. "Do I look like I-" He paused as a freshman with an odd hairstyle passed by. "Oi! Freshman! You don't go and pick balls up just to let it fall on the ground outside of courts!" he frowned before returning to their conversation. "- - -shout a lot?"
"Hai." She said, smirking at the trembling freshman as he ran towards the storage room. She felt slightly sorry for him, though. Maybe his ice cream-styled hair would be a consolation.
Soon enough, another player went to their direction. This time to call in a gathering. They walked towards the main courts and soon saw Seichi go to the middle of the courts and called everyone to line up.
"We will have free practice this morning. But after school, we will start training that focus on improving specific skills like Reflexes, Reaction time, and Hearing." He paused, looking straight at her and Sanada's direction, but seemed not to care and continued on like they weren't even there.
"These activities will last for the remaining of this week, and today we will focus on your footwork and general movements so don't over-tire yourself." He paused again. "That is all."
But as she turned around, Seichi called everyone's attention by adding a few more instructions.
"And freshmen, and the freshman-by-age, return to cleaning up the courts. You will help Yanagi-san with setting up the areas." He said, looking specifically at her. "Understood?"
"Hai!"
Thursday: Reflex
Echizen Ryoma was really just doing as she was told in peace. She liked to be in a daze when she was doing such tedious work, but then someone just had to have the guts to speak with her.
"Ano… Etsuzen-san… mind if I join you?" Yes. She mentally answered, too lazy to open her mouth. And, 'Etsuzen'?
"Who are you?" She asked, realizing that unlike basically all the non-regular student in the school, she actually recognized the boy. It was because he had a very… peculiar hairstyle. Peculiar in an interesting way. His head looked like an inverted (and bright orange) ice cream cone.
"Ah. My name is Shiita Urayama, de yansu."
"Ha." She just uttered and looked at the items around her she was asked to set-up. A number of traffic cones placed at specific intervals were there. She did not need help, and the fact that she was being offered help for such a banal task was offending.
"I don't think I need your help."
"I-I know!" He flinched. "I was just asking if I could accompany you. All the work's done and this is the only part left."
She blinked. It was true. It was probably because she did this alone, and everyone of the freshmen were afraid of her. Not only because she was, technically, their senpai, but she knew she sent out a strong 'don't bother me' aura.
"I see." She shrugged and pointed at a column of baskets. "Set that up."
The boy grinned, and she finally noticed that seemingly fixed blush on the boy's cheek. He grinned just before going to the baskets.
"Hai!"
…
Later, all the sophomores and seniors were asked to go to the middle courts where the set-ups were placed. Seichi stood beside the part with her traffic cones while she, and the freshmen, stood at a relatively sad distance away from the training set-ups.
She and the freshmen were asked to stand-by both to watch as well as to be ready whenever some cleaning-up needed to be done. Random freshmen were also chosen to throw and replace the balls where Seichi, Sanada (where was that guy), and Yagyuu deemed fit.
Fortunately, Ryoma was let off and she went to the fountain to have a drink only to return to watch a rather interesti- -no, repetitive activity of , yes, repetitive and uninteresting...
Uninteresting...
There were numbers on each cone and Yagyuu would shout a number (quickly and consecutively) and the guy had to get there before Yagyuu said another number.
There were 3 such set-ups, 2 for a lower level set up and then if Yagyuu thought the player could handle the harder more challenging traffic cone set-up then the player would move there. Yanagi diligently recorded everything.
Yes, uninteresting. She repeated in her head.
A few non-regulars tried it out, and being Rikkai players they weren't particularly bad, soon Niou took the limelight. The regulars immediately went to the higher level set-up.
"1." Yagyuu said monotonously to his doubles partner. The silver-head was standing on the 7th cone, about 30 degrees from the first, but Niou unsurprisingly got there in a little over 2 seconds. A nanosecond after he reached '1', Yagyuu said '7' as if teasing him. Niou got back even faster, impressing most of the players.
"Interesting, isn't it?" a voice from beside her said out of the blue. She barely noticed him, and now that she thought about it, he wasn't where he was supposed to be.
"No." She lied. She even scoffed to make her point.
"Technically you're no longer a freshman. I'm sure they'd allow you to try if you ask." He paused. "And maybe play a bit."
"No thanks."
"Stubborn kid."
"Stubborn Old man."
"…"
Sanada stared at her for a moment before he started speaking in a very low voice. "Echizen. About yesterday…"
"He's fine."
It was then she caught him looking at the bluenette. "You two seem even more distant, though."
She shrugged, but the intuitive and sensitive Sanada could probably tell she was feeling the opposite of indifference. But what could she do? She never did find a logical reason to confront Seichi about it… and Kami knew she tried before, years ago, and she didn't know if she wanted to place herself on a guillotine now.
"You're getting left back."
"Haven't I already?"
"You're willing to keep it that way?" She didn't answer. But then, after letting out an even more serious expression (who would have thought it was possible?), Sanada cleared his throat. If Ryoma didn't know how stoic he was, she would probably deduce immediately he was nervous.
"I'll always be in the courts at that time of night."
"You are?"
"…hai." He said, slowly turning away. "If you don't have anything better to do, you can come and challenge me any time."
And with that, he inconspicuously went back to the crowd down the courts- -soon trying the set-up himself.
Friday: Senses
The next day the new set up was pretty interesting. Since she had no talent in drawing, a few other more gifted freshmen were asked to draw grids on the open court grounds. The arrangement reminded her of a chess-board which it probably was. Two such set-ups, for the sake of time, was made. Seichi and Yagyuu, once again, were in-charge of each one. This time, Sanada was unavailable due to his extra council work that he needed to finish.
"You will be rendered blind by these." Yanagi explained, raising a freaking sleeping mask. "Yagyuu or Yukimura will throw a shot with varying quality, and by the sound of the hit, you will judge where it lands." He paused and took down the mask. "The grids are there to be guides so you could memorize the places easily."
Interesting, Ryoma mused. She wanted to try this out, no use denying that. But then a millisecond of glimpsing at Seichi made her change her mind immediately.
Seichi was not looking at her direction, and this pushing-away thing had gotten worse. It didn't come as a shock, but still. She pondered long and hard every night and she soon lost precious sleep.
Eventually, she came to a possibility. That Seichi was thinking of making her quit so that he wouldn't have to fire her.
Well, that stung—again. Not that any other probable reason wouldn't.
"Hey." She flinched. Damnit. This guy had a knack in sneaking up on her. Then again, she was in a daze—but still.
No wonder Seichi wanted her away.
"You seem tired. Your eyebags got bigger."
"Must be the sun."
Sanada sighed. "You're not going to admit you're losing sleep, now, are you."
She stared. "I wasn't the one who asked me to play with him."
"I didn't ask you. You came there yourself. I merely told you where I was. Besides…" He paused, and Ryoma sensed that flinch as he slowly turned away again. "We finished up early."
She couldn't tell him she was losing sleep over anxiety on the Seichi matter, now could she?
And as if on cue, Kirihara yelled catching their attention. It was not supposed to be so loud because the court was a little far. Kirihara just had a big mouth.
"YATTA! I got 2!" He yelled pertaining to getting a shot from Yanagi and hitting his return. It was not an easy task, but Niou just had to be the glorious bubble-popper for his kouhai.
"But Yanagi hit those two shots directly at you." he said and Kirihara frowned in offense.
"No, he didn't!"
Yanagi nodded in agreement. "That's right. I varied it a bit."
"See?"
"By 2 degrees."
"HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAH!"
Sanada let out an invisible smirk and looked at his companion. Echizen, too, was smirking. He had to push his luck. "Well, isn't it about time to join us in the trainings? It's fun."
"No."
"How long are you going to run away?"
"I am not running away. I was merely keeping my tennis a secret."
"And why are you doing that again?"
"I felt like it."
Sanada sighed and knowing the boy would not speak anymore, he walked to the courts to let his presence known to the team. But then he felt a slight tug behind him and it surprised him.
"I'm not running away." Echizen repeated. Like a child who wouldn't be able to rest until his point had been understood. Sanada stared at him, not quite knowing what to say. Neither of them noticed someone was running toward them.
"Etsuzen-san~!" It was the ice-cream freshman, Shiita. The bot blinked the moment his eyes landed on his extended shirt pulled by no other than the stoic Echizen Ryoma. Echizen let go of his hold an instant later, and the weird-headed freshman bowed to him.
"Fukubuchou."
Sanada caught Echizen's stare, and considering how awkward this would be... he could only do what he was (mentally) told to do.
That was, to fly away.
…
Ryoma sighed and watched Sanada's back with her peripheral view, with her face facing the brave freshman who saw her little embarrassment.
"You and the fukubuchou are so close." He said and she automatically whipped her gaze towards him. "I think I would faint if I were to touch him."
Her eyes twitched at that. "You're creeping me out."
"Eh?"
"Are you gay?"
At that short sentence, the boy's face became crimson red. He could only stare at her, and after a long while of stuttering, the boy finally got a hold of himself. "A-Ano… please don't be so loud."
"Ha." She sighed. "And you're inlove with Sanada?"
She could swear icecream-boy was going to have a nosebleed soon if she kept on asking him these things. The boy just wildly waved his hand in denial at the moment, though.
"N-NO! I just admire him. Very much."
"Ha…" she uttered again. "Why were you calling me again?"
"I was asked to call you by…" he gulped, for some reason he looked more nerv- -"By the buchou."
She could only flinch and she reflexively looked around. She realized that Seichi was looking right at her. She frowned.
Honestly? She was seriously thinking of getting rid of all this nerves Seichi seemed to have a knack on tapping.
YUKIMURA RESIDENCE
They got back home in relative silence, and once again Seichi headed directly to his bedroom after dinner, claiming he was to finish up one of his training menus. For a moment there, she wanted to ask (or rather, chat) about it but his tone very well told her he wanted to be alone.
But only a few steps up, he paused and looked at her. "You're becoming too lax on your job, Ryoma."
Her heart paused.
"Better start thinking of ways not to disappoint me."
And with that, he left her there standing alone.
PAK!
PAK!
"I don't get him."
PAK!
"You didn't strike me as a push-over. Most of the time, anyway."
She frowned. "I'm his bodyguard, what could I do?"
Sanada sighed and hit the ball lightly. They were only having a light rally at the moment. "You two…" he initiated,"…didn't quite emit that kind of aura. Not exactly, anyway."
"Pardon?"
"He emits the aura that he's the boss of you, and you follow his every wish."
"Well I do."
"Why? Isn't this just family tradition? Didn't you mention the supposed duration already ended."
"I'm an exception. I won't stop until I was asked to."
"Ha..." He sighed and she hit a lob. "What about if you think about it this way-" he paused upon smashing, which she actually got, but he returned it with a swift shot. At this rate she was going to lose a third time. But her chances were becoming larger though, so it was a start. " - -if you help strengthen the team by joining the regular members, wouldn't he be happy?"
Pak
She felt silent, and finally an answer came out. "No."
"That's just being stubborn." Sanada said seriously, and hit the incoming shot. "And why are you so scared?"
"I'm not scared."
PAK!
"Sure, you aren't." he said ironically. "What is with these tsundere moments of yours?"
Twitch
She gritted her teeth in annoyance and hit a strong shot, which he finally was unable to get. "Why are you being so nosy? Can't we just focus on the game?" She huffed. "And Four games to Three."
"You're the only one out of focus, Echizen." He said as if he didn't just lose a game. She shook her head at him and guardedly watched him dribble. He threw the ball up, and judging by his stance, their light rally was going to end now.
PAK!
"Honestly though, knowing how blunt you could be—why not tell him?"
PAK!
"No reason."
PAK!
"And we're back to you being afraid of something."
PAK!
"No, I'm not!" This conversation was going nowhere!
.
BAM!
And she won a point with her cyclone smash. It certainly made Sanada freeze, especially since it was the first time he saw it. Ryoma did not realize she was slipping up in a way she would not have imagined: That she would snap.
"If I tell you…" she huffed in annoyance (her cool was nowhere to be found)."…that I'm afraid to part with him, what will you say?"
It made him freeze deeper, and her frown did not soften up a bit.
That oughta shut him up for a while.
And, fortunately or unfortunately, it did.
Saturday: Weights
That day, it was announced that they would increase weights. She and the freshmen were carrying the boxes to the courts. (Seriously, they were the poor servants).
"Sugoi, Etsuzen-san!" Shiita, once again, muttered beside her. And yes, no one would call her senpai. "You can carry a box that would usually take 3 of us alone!"
She ignored him and continued walking. Considering her continuing lack of sleep, and a nosy Sanada, she wasn't in her best mood.
When all the boxes were in their places, she walked relatively far away (again) from the crowd and climbed up the little hill to reach ground level (since, after all, the center courts were in a depressed area) to see everything. She was in a relatively out-of-sight place. Not hidden, just not in the general line-of-sight. She needed to start taking her job seriously, after all. Not that she didn't before…
What if I say I'm afraid to part with him?
An embarrassing little line that was and she couldn't help but blush (and roll around in bed when she's laid down), but was quick to push away in public. Did she mean that? It came out before she thought about it. It was a slip-up.
But scientifically speaking, when one 'slips-up' he would say something he/she felt unconsciously.
So she did mean it, after all?
"Etsuzen-san~" Icercream-kid called her again, ruining her pondering moment. Can't everyone just be freaking quiet?
"You're noisy." She said. It sounded like 'Leave me alone' and after the boy stepped back, apologizing, and stuttering, Ryoma finally realized how mean it sounded.
But would she apologize? She was much too hard-headed for that.
"Shiita." She just said failry sure that was his name, making him pause. "I just needed some quiet."
And to her relief, the boy's expression softened dramatically.
"A-Ah."
…
The day went on, and so did the training. Basically the activities then were extra laps and they still played games with each other, but the weights increased as the hours went by. For the non-regulars, the short break-times were torturous. And to think their weights were much lesser than those of the regulars.
It had been a rather… stressful day for Ryoma. That tension with Seichi (and, now for some reason, Sanada) was starting to get to her. No one seemed to have noticed this, even Yagyuu and Yanagi, and she just continued with her banal swinging practice along with the other freshmen.
Such repetitive activities seriously could not distract her enough.
But what else could she do but try?
Meanwhile..., on one semi-peaceful moment on the borders of a random court, Sanada Genichirou sighed again unconsciously.
"Is there something wrong, Genichirou?" It was Yanagi, and he was going around with him as he gathered his data. He shook his head in denial.
But the fact was, there was definitely something wrong. Something big, actually, and this realization(s) disconcerted him. At first, he was just shocked at the fact that Echizen genuinely cared for Yukimura—more so than he had imagined.
More than being just someone professionally in-charge of protecting him…
Then the line of thought ended up as to why he felt like that—and why he was shocked in a different way. This shock was mixed with anxiety, and to his surprise, annoyance.
He remained that way, but almost no one noticed, all the way until classes ended.
And a few hours later…?
He found himself on the tennis courts once again venting the confusion on the wall.
It was a dark and cold night, but he barely felt it. He was sweating buckets, but he didn't bother noticing it at all.
And yet he was beyond uncomfortable.
"You seem annoyed." Someone just had to point out. He paused and he effortlessly maneuvered the ball so that it would land on his palm.
'Annoyed?' He looked sarcastically at his seemingly oblivious new companion. 'You don't say…?'
Sure, he forgot Echizen might just come and see him but he didn't show it. But still, Kami knew he needed to be away from this person for a while. Sadly, Kami thought he didn't deserve to be left alone and so Sanada took all his will power to catch his composure.
Again, Echizen didn't seem to notice his inner war (or probably concluding it as a hype for battle), and nonchalantly placed his bag to where it usually was and took a racket. This time, he pointed at him his racket.
"I'll beat you this time." He paused. "If you stop cheating, that is."
"Pardon?"
"Stop talking."
"You get distracted by those conversations?"
"…"
"Hmn…" Sanada said in his usual appraising tone and Echizen's eyes jerked in annoyance.
"Just play with me."
…
An Hour Later
BAM!
"Wha-"
The last ball landed on Echizen Ryoma's side of court, much to her utter shock. Well, not really.
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaarn it." Ryoma sighed in exasperation basically dropping dead on the bench. She didn't have the energy to even lift the back of her neck on the bench's backrest. Sanada sat beside her and was breathing deeply.
"It was a close match." Sanada said, looking at her and she lazily turned her head to his direction. She was feeling the coldness of the bench's wooden board.
"I still lost."
"But these past few days, I have to admit you're improvement's astounding. No one could make me reach the tiebreaker with the time you had to get rid of those rust."
"Thank you." Was all she could huff. Sanada let out a small smile and relaxed more on the bench, making her lose more of her guard. Her eyes were getting tired…
"I'm wondering. How could you genuinely care for a person who showed you nothing but coldness?" Sanada asked out-of-nowhere, making her blink, but not enough to entice adrenaline to make her shift positions. She barely moved. Did she fall asleep when he was speaking and somehow it ended up to this issue?
"Did I miss something?"
"What?"
"Where did that come from?"
"…I was just wondering." He said. "Even I get curious at my team mate's inconsistencies. The only difference with you two was that we just met."
She stared at him not quite sure how much of that was true, and why it felt like an understatement. It probably was, but she didn't have the energy to pry nor was it anything dangerous. So she heaved a sigh and stared at the stars, as if they would make her remember more clearly.
"He wasn't like that before." She whispered. "He had been gentle to me. It all disappeared one day, and I couldn't make myself ask him why. Our parents kept bugging me about it, and it just made me more determined not to ask.
She closed her eyes for a bit. "Stupid parents."
"So you stayed with him and waited for that side of him to show again?"
"It always showed on a superficial level. You know that. People always thought of him as 'kind and gentle'." She said and she felt her hand shift slightly, but her body was still dead tired. She was surprised she could still speak coherently. "But… they never actually saw him truly as they thought."
"I see." Then there was a pause. "And now you think that if he found out you can play tennis, he would hate you even more?"
"He wouldn't like me lying to him."
"But this isn't exactly life-threatening. If anything—it's highly personal." He paused, looking away. It was good for her since she wasn't sure what her face was showing. Sanada continued on pointing out things she'd rather not have anyone know.
Sanada let silence pass by for a while, and he took advantage of it to contain his composure. He didn't want to ask this, but he knew he had to point it out…
"So if he did get mad…," he said, eyes jerking due to whatever was eating his gut. "Doesn't that just mean he cared for you enough to... let this issue matter?"
He didn't look at the boy when he said that and waited for a second or so before turning. The boy was staring at him in surprise, as if he didn't consider this at all. For such a pompous person, he truly looked down upon himself when it came to Yukimura. This fact irritated him more than he would deem proper.
But then… the boy smiled.
Doki
Was it just him, or were Echizen's smiles—as rare as they might came- -became prettier every time he saw it?
But in the end, Echizen's smile turned sardonic, and he scoffed. "Heh. I wish."
"But a part of you is hoping he'd get mad."
Echizen frowned, visibly tired, and this conversation even if it did interest him probably only stressed him more. But in the end, Echizen just let out an arrogant frown at him. "And now you're saying I'm afraid that he wouldn't."
"I'm not saying anything."
"You were thinking it."
And with that, a long wave of comfortable silence passed them. Sanada assumed he was pondering…
But then the uncertainly was stopped, a minute later, when he felt a weight on his shoulders. Literally.
His eyes widened. It was Echizen. He fell asleep on his shoulders. He pushed down his blush and maneuvered himself so he could shake him awake. But his gentle shakes did no good. He must have been very tired, and a very deep sleeper. And now, he realized, it was probably because of that bluenette who may, or may not, care about him.
But as he held the boy's (softer and slimmer than anticipated) shoulders, he blushed further but was quick to shake it away. There was no reason to be embarrassed now was there?
And then when Echizen shifted slightly, the street light illuminated something on his head.
He batted his heavier than usual eyelids, and his hand slightly waving some of the boy's hair to get a better look.
He stared at the slumbering boy for a long minute filled with incredulity and confusion. He didn't know what to think now.
For... why in the world would Echizen Ryoma be wearing a wig?
