Meet the true devil

Today was the day. Today would be a match held. Echizen Ryoma against Kirihara Akaya. "If you don't want to be here it's o-" Before Sanada could talk until end Seiichi interrupted him. "It's okay, really." He smiled but anyone could see the worry in his eyes. "But, you know how Akaya's tennis is.", Sanada said. "It's really okay.", Seiichi reassured him.

Ryoma faced Akaya. In the last weeks Akaya and she created a wonderful friendship. She did know, that she mostly needed to hold the match against Akaya. "Are you ready?", she asked him. "Yes.", he nodded.

You could feel how tense the atmosphere was. This would be dangerous match. And all there did know this fact.

"Kirihara to serve!", someone called. He served and she hit the ball back. And this did go on for a while. As they played someone made the first point. "15 - 0. Echizen leads." They played and Ryoma managed one game. "Game won by Echizen. 1 - 0." But then he started to change and played with...hurting. She froze. He injured her right arm, then both her knees. "0 - 15. Kirihara leads!" "0 - 30." "0 - 40." "Game won by Kirihara. 1 - 1."

"0 - 15. Kirihara leads!" "0 - 30." "0 - 40." "Game won by Kirihara. 1 - 1."

It hurt. It hurt to see her hurt. But he couldn't look away. No, it would mean he didn't believe in her. And because of this...he Couldn't look away.

She knew. She did always knew...that Everyone wears a mask. "Game won by Kirihara. 1 - 3." She closed her eyes. But the only thing she needed to do is...to Break the mask. Break the devil in him. Ryoma opened her hazel eyes. No, now golden eyes. And the true devil was here.

His eyes were wide. He could not believe it. He must imagine this. Her eyes were not golden. Akaya was sure.

Seiichi was worried. This wasn't good. Neither for Akaya nor Ryoma. The last time he saw the golden eyes, both Ryoma and her opponent were for some days in a hospital.

Her golden eyes were an helpful ability. She had many title like Princess of Tennis. But one title showed how much she was the opposite of her brother. Her brother was called the child of God. And she? She was called the child of Satan. Yeah, it sounded hilarious. But the title fitted her. Because her abilities were the opposite of his. She has better senses than an average person.

"Are you going to give up?", Akaya mocked. "Never." It was one word. But the pressure behind it was great. He shot the ball...and she hit it back. As Akaya received the ball, the power was stronger than before. The racket fell from his hands. Silence. "15 - 0. E- Echizen leads." "It seems you don't leave me no choice." He presses the ball between his knuckles. Knuckle serve.

"Huh, higher speed? This is not going to work, Kirihara - kun." She hit the ball back. Some were shocked. "30 - 0!" Her right arm hurt. "Oh, does it hurt ?" Ah, Akaya noticed this also. She couldn't play with this arm anymore. "Going to give up ?", he mocked again. She smirked. " Mada Mada Dane." Ryoma changed to her left arm. Silence and shock. She hit the ball again back and made a point. "40 - 0!" And then again. "Game won by Echizen. 2 - 3!"

"Echizen serve play!" Again she changed her hand. Why? And then she used twist serve and made her points. He wasn't anymore in bloodshot mode. No, he had fun. She won the match.

Ryoma walked to Akaya after the match. "It was a fun match. I'd like to play someday again against you!", she said with the most sincere smile of hers. "Can I call you Ryoma-chan? You can call me Akaya!", he asked. Again shouted. "Sure"

On that day Akaya made a friend. No, a best friend.
