Under the Cherry Blossoms

Graduation and how many?!?!

I sighed waking up before my alarm. 'Graduation day.......seems like yesterday was finals but that was last week.' I thought getting up. Yawning I grabbed cloths and headed to the shower. 'At least our vacation isn't that far off. I'll be with Chirouchirou for a while before college.' As I got into the elevator to go down I leaned against the wall closing my eyes. Images of the past 6 years flashed through my mind.

Flash back~

"Oi Geni let's go you can talk to your girlfriend later." A younger me shouted from outside the courts where a younger Genichirou was playing with Seiichi.

"I'm a boy Shirotsuki-san. I've told you 8 times." Seiichi said sweat dropping. I had just shrugged and walked away no bothering to wait for a rushing Genichirou.

The seaweed haired first year looked up with awe, as I looked at him in confusion. All I did was cancel yukimuras Yips. "Senpai please take me on as your student!"

I held him as he cried. "Gomen its my fault. I should have won against Momoshiro. My injury shouldn't have mattered." I whispered holding onto my best friend tightly.

"Baka." He whispered. His grip tightened on me. "You could have lost the use of your arm and that's all you can say." He gave a dry laugh. "Damn it Ruka....I don't ever want to see you like that again. I can't....."

"Seems like were together again Haru-chan." Yanagi said taking the desk on my left while Geni sat on my right and Seiichi on his other side.

Smiling I leaned back in my seat while eating melon bread. Wouldn't have it any other way Renren. The Demon 4 of Rikkai will always be together."

I heard jackal sigh as we watched Marui getting fanboyed by Akutagawa Jirou. We both laughed as Marui accepted the treats and Jirou fainted.

We stood atop the hill watching the sunset. Nothing but comfortable silence even from Akaya. This was the final year of the original team.

Flashback end

As the door. Opened I headed to the bathroom but bumped into whoever was coming out.

"Haruka-chan? Why are you up so early?" Masaomi asked clearly forgetting that he only had a towl around his waist. I felt the heat rush to my face and glanced to the side.

"Its graduation I have to head out early to make it." I murmured before looking up at him. "Masaomi-san....you should get some cloths on before someone sees us." I walked around him and into the bathroom, closing the door behind me as well as a blushing Masaomi.

A few hours later.

I held onto Genis hand tightly as we were being called up. He glanced at me before making me look to the side. Masaomi, Ukyo, Azusa, Tsubaki, Natsume, Subaru, and Wataru were there. Wataru caught me looking and jumped waving at me. I glanced up at Geni as he bent his head slightly to whisper in my ear. "Breath Ruka. Count to 10 after me then walk. After this I'll give you a present OK," I nodded and calmed down as his thumb stroked my hand.

"Sanada Genichiro. Fukubuchou of the tennis team and number 3 of the class." He stood and walked. I slowly began walking up, "This is it. My final steps at Rikkai." I whispered clenched my fists tightly.

"Shirotsuki Haruka. Only girl in our history to be on the boys tennis team since Jr high. Top of her graduating class and this years class president along with Sanada." I began walking up the steps and across the stage. Shaking hands with the principle I took a seat next to Sanada since we were representatives of our class. Yanagi sat on my other side, soon enough we were done as soon as Yukimura took his seat. Sighing I stood to make my speech.
