Samurai's Red Eyes (Vampire Knight/ Prince of Tennis Fanfic)

The Ball in Cross Academy

Echizen Ryoma was already serving his first ball when suddenly, Aido Hanabusa waved his hand outside the fence of the tennis court making him distracted making his twist serve go out but near where Hanabusa is. "So annoying. Any of senpais are just the same," he said to himself as he was bouncing the ball by his left hand and served another twist serve which Tezuka quickly returned by his left forehand.

The match was a really tough one because both really don't want to lose at that first game of Intraschool tournament. The two pillars of Seigaku were already at the match point with 6 games to 5 with Ryoma in the losing side after 45 minutes. He was feeling very tired now. He defeated Tezuka Zone once but whenever Ryoma use his Cyclone Smash, Tezuka will return it using his Tezuka Zone and do his Zero Shiki Drop Shot.

"15-0," Eiji said. He's the umpire for that match. A long rally soon followed.

"His shots and speed are better and sharper now but still, he's not yet so good as his father," Tezuka said as he return a ball from the far corner on his right side.

Hanabusa went beside Yumiko. "I came here to watch him do tennis. He told me that you fall for him because of how he plays and now, I understand. He really is an amazing player."

"Deuce," Eiji announced after fifteen minutes. 

Echizen's eyes are burning and so is Tezuka's. Both have missed tough matches but in the end, it was Tezuka's win. Eiji jumped and hugged Echizen. 

He also noticed his growth. "Oh!!! Ochibi! You're taller, now!!!" he's actually almost chocking him, making him breath hard.

"Ne, Eiji-senpai. I grew taller, what's the problem with that?"

Then, Yumiko and Aido went inside and still congratulated him. "But I lost," he said to Yumiko.

"You still played well," she said and smiled.

Eiji ruffled his hair and told him, "Your Yumiko-sama still congratulated you. Get out of that depression, now."

"Echizen, you've improved. Don't lose in the other matches, okay?" he said.

"I won't."

Tomoka felt really jealous of her but still, she watched him and cheered for him. They even loved being friends with Yumiko as they keep seeing him win at his other matches. His matches in the Inter-school tournament finally ended after three hours and now, Ryoma was just drinking his Ponta as he's watching Fuji's match against Kawamura. 

Technique vs Power...

Aido touched his right shoulder under the nearest tree and told him, "Good thing you still retained your regular position with only one loss."

He looked up and saw him, "Yeah, thanks for support, Aido-senpai. Did you come here to only support me?"

"No. I know you can leave now, right?" he smiled at him.

"Yeah but I want to watch Fuji-senpai's match," he said.

"Also, you want to sleep, right?" he asked him.

Echizen sat up when he noticed that his master isn't with him,"Where's Yumiko-sama?"

"Yumiko-chan? She's with her human friends. You can sleep. Don't worry about anything and also, can you help me find where your coach is?" he asked.

Zero just left Coach Ryuzaki in her room after talking about a practice match between the Night Class and the Seigaku Tennis Regulars which she gratefully accepted. When the eight regulars that will fight in the Nationals are already chosen, Coach Ryuzaki assembled them at the court but Echizen is still not with them.
