Shin sat on the chair at home, while covering her eyes with her whole arm.

"Sigh, what a pain" she sighed tired. "I don't think I can handle it much longer, if there happen so much every day."

"It's your own fault" Ryoma said and sat beside her. "You are always causing trouble."

"I can't help it. For some reason, wherever I go, there's always some sort of trouble. I just try to stop it."

"Which sometimes makes it worse."

"It was their fault for calling me pretty girl. And besides it was them who wanted to play in the first place. Who should have thought, when I defeated the first guy, they would come running wanting to play against me."

"Why did they sacrifice the same faith?" he asked with a staring face.

"They tried to mock me with their dirty talk. It was their own fault."

"Sigh.....so what are you going to do now?"

"What do you mean?" she asked while removing her arm from her eyes.

"The match. Tomorrow."

"Play it of course."

"Seriously? You keep saying you suck at it."

"I say I suck at it, 'cause I do, but it doesn't mean I can't play it for fun."

"It not going to be fun tomorrow and if you win against captain-"

"Wow, just hold a second tiger. Who said I would win?

"You say, you lose?"

"I'm not saying that either. What I'm saying is, we don't know what will happen yet. We can't see in the future...."

She stood up and looked at the ground.

"Though....it would've been nice that day......"

Echizen gave her a sad look, until she suddenly began to stretch her whole body.

"Geez, I'm being sentimental again. What a pain" she said walking away with a waving hand. "I go out to get some fresh air. See you later, Ryoma."

As she disappeared out the door, a light sigh came out from Echizen.

"It sure has been a long time since I saw her being like that."

Tezuka and Fuji walked away from the tennis courts, and as they were staying a longer than the others, they were the last to leave.

"Tezuka?" Fuji asked.

"What is it?" he replied not looking at him.

"Why is it you're so interested in Shin-chan?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. You not exactly that type, who invite girls into something. Why is she different?"

"She has the potential to become a great player."

"That's not everything, is it? There's something else, right?"

Tezuka raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"No, there's nothing else" he answered and looked away again.

"You asked her to come here personally" Fuji said. "There's must be something else."

"There's no-"
