♥Wonderful Memories♥Prince of tennis♥Atobe Keigo

♥09♥ After the tears

Atobe felt someone kissing him in the middle of the night and he kissed back the perpetrator, holding her close to him. He opened his eyes to see those blue eyes he always loved looking into. No matter how many years go by, those eyes remained as blue as the sky. 

She already asked her parents' permission to stay the night at his place and she's got the okay for it. She wanted to wake up the next day to see Atobe by her side and he also wanted the same thing too. The feelings they have for each other remain unchanged; no matter how much distance there was, no matter how many years they were apart, the feelings for one another never died away into nothing. 

"Can we talk?" Ranfa asked when she snuggled close to his naked chest. 

"What do you want to talk about?" Atobe asked her, no longer feeling tired when she's by his side.

"I don't know. I just wanted to hear your voice." 

"I like how honest you have become." 

"I have always been honest." 

"You're right." 

"Kei-chan, thank you." 

"What for?" 

"For always remembering me." 

"You don't need to thank me for such a thing. I won't forget you." He has always been stubborn. No matter how many people told him to move on from her, there was a part of him who believed she was still out there trying to make her way back to him. Now that she's finally back in his arms, he's glad he didn't throw his stubbornness away. "Tomorrow, I need to do something very important. Will you accompany me?" 

"What a strange thing, I also have something important to do that needs you to accompany me." 

"Can it be...?" 

"It's time I face Ran's parents. I still need to know how to forgot about you." 

They were thinking about the same thing all this time. The King and Queen both wanted the same question answered by the same answer...

The next day gave way to a beautiful feeling of spring. However, there was a household that has an atmosphere that was a complete contrast to 

"What do you mean you don't know where Ranmao is?!" Ranmao's Mother shouted at her youngest daughter, "And why are you calling her Ranfa?! I told you, her name is Ranmao!" 

"That is not my older sister!" Ran didn't care if she's hit by her Mother again and again over the same argument, she will stand strongly and firmly to what she believed in for the sake of her real sister, "Mom, how can you be so cruel to replace my sister like that?! Do you really love Ranmao? You call yourself a Mother?!" 

"Don't talk to your Mother that way!" Ran's Father's shout made the young girl flinch with slight fear. 

"...people like you shouldn't have children! One of your children is dead and you replace them with another child who looks like them?! Have you ever thought of Ranfa's parents?!" 

"Shut up! You're just a child, what do you know?!" Before the argument get any more violent, the doorbell of the Ying house sounded. "That might be your sister!" She hurriedly make her way to the door and she opened it to see Ranfa. Her tears flowed with happiness as she hugged her tightly, "Ranmao, where have you been?! I was so worried sick!" 

"I have something to ask of you." Ranfa gently removed the arms that's holding onto her, "I need to know what happened 3 years ago..." 

"What are you talking about-"
