A/N: Hi ~

I'm sorry! I had exams the past two weeks, wrote a chapter, for a new story and I was to lazy.

Akutsu vs. Ryoma

Marui and Jackal vs. Minami and Higashikata

"Well, no one said they were good." Marui wished he could wash the smirk of Niou's face. They won. Why, they so angry? Well, the doubles team of Yamabuki, was just so bad. Marui had hoped for a good game. But no, they needed to be so damn bad. "Well, they better than the most, definitely better, than in whatever doubles team Ryoma is." This was the day, where Niou learned, how strong Ryoma's punch is. Definitely, stronger, than her kick.

The second-year on the team, laughed and ended, with the same fate, as Niou. Yagyuu just sighed, at their stupidity.

Niou and Yagyuu vs. Nitobe and Kita

In the corner, where depression welcome was, were Marui and Niou.

"They weren't anywhere near us!"

"Yeah", Niou agreed.

"But, Niou-senpai, didn't you say, that it was to be exc-"

"Shut up, Akaya."

Yagyuu sighed. How did he end up in this team?

Kirihara vs. Sengoku

Akaya smirked. It was his time.

"Lucky Sengoku, I'm coming."

He was going to win.

"Sengoku to serve!"

"1-0. Sengoku leads."

"Uh...Akaya is in deep shit."

"Well, it's his service game. He won't lose", Niou smirked.

Akaya twitched. He couldn't afford to lose. If he would, Ryoma needed to face Akutsu. He wouldn't let that happen.

Sengoku couldn't help but think it was his lucky day. Until his opponent, Kirihara Akaya, changed to someone other. Then began hell. It was hurting but he couldn't protest. He had Akutsu Jin on his team, after all. To say Akutsu was innocent, was just crazy. Sengoku would also want to win, if he were in Kirihara's place. The freshmen girl would need to face Akutsu. As her teammate, he also wouldn't want that to happen. (Sengoku questioned Rikkai's health, later. Who would even let a girl face Akutsu?) But Sengoku would win, for Yamabuki. Silently, he apologized to the girl.

"Game and match for Yamabuki's Sengoku!"

"He...Akaya...lost..."

Niou couldn't believe his eyes. The others as well. "I'm sorry", is all what Akaya could say. Sanada wanted to slap him, but remembered what Ryoma said. He sighed.

"You did your best, Aka-chan."

All turned to the person who said that.

Seiichi smiled at Akaya. "Buchou..." Sanada nodded. "Fukubouchou..." He couldn't believe his ears! He thought Sanada was going to slap him. But he didn't! No, they said he did well. Akaya smiled. This was how it should have been always.

"They're right, you know", Ryoma spoke, as she walked past them. "Ryoma!", Akaya forgot that Ryoma needed to play, if he lost. "This is going to be exciting." Akaya blinked. He also forgot, that Ryoma wanted top play against Akutsu.

Akutsu vs. Echizen

"Seems like I'm playing against you", Ryoma smirked, "hope you don't let me down." This was going to be fun. Suddenly, Akutsu gripped her at the collar of her shirt and held her up.

"You..."

"Would you please let me down, the others can see my underwear."

"You wear leggings under your skirt."

"But..."

"Okay...what a brat."

"I heard you."

"It doesn't matter for me."

"Well, for me it does."

"I don't care, about what you think."

The audience sweatdropped. They behaved like kids. Seiichi sighed. He should have excepted this. Ryoma loved to mess with others, like himself. "I influenced her to much", slowly, a very angelic smile, made it's way on his face, "but it makes things more interesting, I'm proud of her."

"You shouldn't be proud, of something like that!"

Yamabuki blinked. Rikkai's members were sure crazy. And what meant their Buchou by "influenced her"? Yamabuki gasped, could the two be together? They looked at the girl, who bickered with Akutsu. The girl didn't seem like she would be interest in dating. But she was beautiful.

Well, that's not their problem.

"One set match, Echizen to serve!"

Ryoma bounced the ball on the ground. Should she use the Twist serve? No, that wouldn't be a wise choice. Not yet. Suddenly, a idea popped up. The first-year smirked. ' His reaction would be funny.' Ryoma served the ball and move towards the net.

"Serve and volley", Marui could just blink,"but isn't it a bad idea, to go near the net?"

"This is not the serve you wanted to use, right", easily, Ryoma's opponent shot the ball back.

She smirked. 'According to plan.'

"Drop volley, huh?", Niou grinned.

'Ah, she already has a plan', he close-eyed senpai thought.

He didn't except this, but that doesn't matter. He hit the ball again back and the ball landed...

"Don't take me...lightly!"

...in his face.

"Drive A."

All looked and looked.

"Well, she is, after all, a Rikkai regular."

Slowly and jointly, all regulars from Yamabuki looked at the captain of Rikkai, Yukimura Seiichi.

"He means all from Rikkai are so?!"

Noticing their enemy's expression, Seiichi smiled.

Banda observed Seiichi since this moment, as a dangerous enemy. It wasn't important that he sat in a wheelchair and looked like he couldn't harm anyone. Yukimura Seiichi, was that kind of person, that looked weak but was damn strong. Banda's eyes wandered of to Ryoma. She was a girl and looked like she would run in a game, without nothing. But he knew better, than to believe that. She was, after all, Yukimura's sister. He heard, about Nanjiroh adopting two kids. Suddenly, she said, "don't take tennis lightly." She was definitely dangerous.

Twack. Twack. Twack. How long will this go on? Ryoma could play the ball where she wanted, Akutsu would reach it. What should she do? She can't win, if this goes on. Should she give up? Well, she still needed to pay back for her teammates and herself. He could reach everywhere? Then she just needed to be faster than him

"Akutsu hit in the other direction..."

"A lob!"

'Damn! I have no choice, I need to run closer to the net.'

"She moves closer to the net."

"It's a good idea."

"What do you mean, senpai?"

"With a lob, Akutsu needs move closer to the net."

"Why?"

"Bakaya, if he moves to the net and Ryoma also, she is able to limit, where Akutsu can hit strongly."

'Aha, she did some thinking after all. But...'

"He is going to lob it, to the back of the court!"

"...What is she going to do?"

"Are you running away?"

The silver-haired boy narrowed his eyes.

"You've got some balls, brat."

"I'm a girl, boy."

"Was I the only one that thought, she resembled Buchou, as she said that?"

"No, you weren't."

"Me too!"

Bam.

"Ah, Ryoma!"

"Is she okay?"

Seiichi narrowed his eyes,'that bastard should hope...'

'To provoke me and successfully outwit me...'

The ball landed on Akutsu' side.

"30-15!"

"Eh, what?"

"Ryoma...", Yukimura smiled.

"I thought you didn't want me to get one point~"

"L-I-A-R."

"To provoke him on purpose and run to the front, making herself the target. Using her racket and place it in front of her face, to return the shot", Yanagi smiled,"who would have thought, Ryoma."

"Mada Mada Dane."

"Huh, matchpoint? Can she hold it?"

"You can do it, Ryoma!"

"Yeah!"

Twack. She can't give up. Twack. She can't lose. Twack. But what should she do? She can't reach the ball.

An image of Tezuka flashed.

"If you want to beat me, play with your own style."

Then of her brother.

"I'm not your only opponent, I can't be your goal."

Then her father.

"Do you have fun, playing tennis?"

...

You haven't reached your limit!

She turned to some degrees and made a point. The last point.

"Game and match for Echizen!"

It gave never a limit in the first place.

He older brother smiled. 'She improved and improving means evolving, after all."

"Ryoma!"

"You won!"

"I'm going to bear you, just wait!"

Her checks reddened. The first-year placed her cap a bit lower.

Maybe, it's better together than alone.

Omake

"Do you think, they're a pair?"

"Yukimura-san and Echizen-chan?"

"Yeah."

"Hm, but don't you think, that Kirihara-san and Echizen-chan are together?"

"Kirihara-san...Ah! Sengoku-senpai, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, well I don't think Kirihara and Echizen-chan are together."

"So, Yukimura-san and Echizen-chan?"

"Well...how about Niou-san and Echizen-chan! Niou-san put an arm around her shoulders."

"Was that even Niou-san or was that Yagyuu-san?"

"Yagyuu-san and Niou-san with Ryoma? Aren't they together?"

"They together? Well, then again Yukimura-san and Echizen-chan."

"Yeah!"

"Yup."

"Okay."

"So, it's settled! Yukimura-san and Echizen-chan."

"They aren't."

"Banda-sensei?"

"What do you mean?"

"They're siblings."

"Eh!"

"Siblings?"

"Banda-sensei, why do you know that?"

"Who knows?"

A/N: Well, this was it. I can't, like always write a match. How was it? What should I change? Did I make much mistakes?
