The 8th flower

Ryuki Pov:

           "Fuji-kun ?" A voice called. We all look at ann-chan.

           "Ah. Ann-chan." Fuji said.

           "Sorry for being  a disturbance. Its just really important." Ann-chan explained.

           "Iie. Its fine." Fuji replied with his usual smile.

           "Hey echizen, what do you think ann and fuji-senpai are talking about ?" I heard someone whispher. I turn ti my left to see momo whispering on ryoma.

           "How am I supposed to know that ?" Ryoma asked wierded at momo. I smirk.

           "Maybe a date ?" I interrupted the two. Momo gawks at me. I wanted to laugh his expression.

           So she's not just tachibana's sister to you anymore, huh ? I thought. It seems like fuji felt us so he look at is then asked.

           "Ah.. Do you guys want to come with us ?" Fuji asked.

           "A-ah.. Iie. We don't want to be an interruption with you guys." Momo answered unsurely.

           "Oh. Hi ryuki-senpai ! Momoshiro-kun ! Ryoma." Ann-chan greeted. I just nod at her while the two greeted back.

           "Where the hell do you think they were going ?!" Momo asked alarmed.

           "Why are you asking me ?" Ryoma looks annoyed. I just shook my head at them

           "Im going. I need to go somewhere. Ja ne~" I said then walk off. Then I heard momo taking back his words and go with fuji and ann with ryoma. I sigh at them.

           Im going to the flourist that I always go. I planned on buying seichii my 8th flower. I only have short time left. When I got to the flower shop, Im having a hard time picking then I saw a Black-eyed Susan, the flower of encouragement. I want to tell seichii to don't give up and gamble his operation no matter what. I want to be his source of courage for him to continue. It looks like a sunflower and a yellow colored version of daisy.
           After buying the flower, I immediatly went to the hospital where seichii is. Then I saw ryoma with sanada on the overpass. I furrowed my brows. But I chose to ignore them and continue walking to my way. When I arrive at the hospital, the nurse said the seichii is with his friends so like the usual I just gave the flower to the nurse.
           I was walking on the hallway when I heard fuji's voice with momo.

           "Demo.. You're the one who keeps on barking since the first." I heard syuusuke said with a laugh.

           "Tsk ! Wha--

           "So is this you're last wish before you vanish this world ha, akaya ?" I interfere.

           "Ryuki-chan ?" A shock fuji called.

           "Ryuki-senpai ?" Momo asked surprise.

           "Echizen-chan ?" Tachibana looks surpsrise also that Im here.

           "What do you mean !?" An annoyed akaya asked.

           "Oh. Why ? I just thought that this will be your last day because of a certain fukubuchou who keeps on shouting 'kirihara akaya' at the tip of his lungs in angriness. " just then, I saw akaya turned pale face before speeding off mumbling sanada's name with a prayer.

           "Arigatou for stopping akaya, ryuki-san." Jackal said then bow at me. I bowed back then he sped off.

           "Do you know them, senpai ? And why are you here ?" Momo asked confiusly.

           "Can't I be here ? And yes, I know them. Im friends with them to be exact." I answered.

           "WHAT ? You're friends with that guy ?!" Momo asked which made me annoyed.

             "Then maybe asked too why I am friends with you ? I perfectly know that akaya has a very bad attitude but that doesn't mean I can't be friends with him. Tennis is out of this momo." I said.

            "Gomen senpai. I didn't mean to be like that." He appologize. I accept it then nod.

           "Btw, why are you two here ?" I asked.

           "I called for them. I just had a talk with fuji." Tachibana said. I nod at him.

           "How are you tachibana-kun ?" I asked.

            "Oh. Im fine. Thankyou." He said. I nod at him. We all bid him and ann our goodbyes then walk home.

           I am walking home when I remembered sanada and ryoma. I think I know what they were going to do. I stop walking then run back I immediately ride the bus. I arrived at some tennis court at kanagawa and I am really shock at what I am seeing right now. It is not like ryoma. Everything that he learned on the training camp seems like evaporated. He lost to sanada without even putting a good fight. I followed him on his way home then akutsu showed up. It seems like he saw the match against sanada. Ryoma and akutsu had a match and as I expected, ryoma lost his game. Something seems wrong with ryoma. He looks upset because of the match then he hit some balls at on the temple. Oyaji also played with ryoma that day.
