The Prince of Tennis: D'Grass Court Queen

Chapter 39

Manager

Seigaku Pov:

           It's been three weeks since coach ryuzaki told us about our manager. Everyone looks shock and sad because of our missing manager. We didn't even know about her plan. We felt kind of betrayed. But because its our beloved manager, we already accept it and forgave her. But not everyone, since the day ryome run to us with aletter from her sister and ryuzaki explained everything, he never mentioned a single word next to her sister. We kind of worried at first but he seems fine. Though we still keep on looking out at him.

           "Oraa ! Do it properly ! Bend your knees !" Ryuzaki sensei bark her orders. She sigh.

          Everyone was like a robot when they first learned about ryuki. They can't help but to feel kind of lonely. Eiji even cried that day. Then he bacame stiff and stoic on the next more days. But he overcome it now. Everyone and everything seems normal, only ryoma. He's in usual cool and stoic mode but there's something. It feels like he's hiding so much emotion inside.

FLASHBACK:

          "Obaasan, what is the meaning of this ?" Ryoma walk inside the faculty without even bothering to knock. A letter sprawled on the table. Eyes burning intensely.

           "Didn't your father told you ?" Ryuzaki sensei asked.

          "What is this sensei ?" Oishi look at the paper on the table with inui. They both widen their eyes as they read the letter.

           The sensei sighed in defeat then look at the three specially ryoma with a serious expression. "Ryuki left. The day we send tezuka to germany, she showed me letters asking for her participation from various U-17 camp. She decided to pursue tennis. She wanted to go back as what she really is. You know what I mean ryoma. She wanted to conquer her fear. She wanted to play tennis like all of you again." The sensei explained. Both inui and oishi looks puzzled except ryoma. He perfectly understood what she meant. But what he's complaining about is why his sister did not tell anyone about this ? Specially him. He's hurt and kinda felt betrayed. All he can do is just sighed then walk out of the room. That same day, both hyotei's captain and rikkaidai fukubuchou set a meeting with the ryuzaki-sensei and ryoma regarding about the same matter, which was about ryuki.

Ryuki Pov:

           Im staying at German U-17 camp for a while. I first accept their proposal since their camp is a no joke. Their training regimen were intense and a pro rank. I just sneek out since tomorrow will be my last day here. I just accept their proposals for the training but Im already decided to be an american rep. The coach agreed on though a bit dissapointed plus their players were really strong.

           "Kunimitsu !" I called. Tezuka look at me shock rwritten all over his face.

           "Ryuki ? What.. Are you doing here ?" He asked. I smirk at him.

           "Tomorrow would be my last day here in germany. Im going back to america after." I replied. He looks puzzled for a moment then nod.

           "Can I ask why ?"

           We sit on some bench with not too much people. I sigh first before telong him my story. The real reason why I came back to japan. My real identity. The real me. He listened attentively and gives occasional nods. I retell my story without breaking down. Also the disicion I came up with.

           "Well then, welcome back and goodluck coming back. Yudan sezu ni ikou." He said after. I smile gently at him.

           "Thank you, kunimitsu." Hearing his first name I saw his cheeks flamed and look away bashfully. I stifled a giggle. That's cute.. No, HE is CUTE !

          "Uhm.. Want to.. Eat lunch outside ?" He ask a little dicomfort.

           "Oh.. Is buchou asking me out ?" I teased. He immediately tensed.

           "R-ryuki !" I giggled at him.

            "Ma.. Ma.. Just kidding ! Come on then. Im also hungry." Then I pulled him. He looks shock for a moment. We ate at some restaurant I know then we part ways.

           "See you when I see you !" I bid him a goodbye. I was about to go when a hand grab me. I turn back to meet a brad chest and warmth. Kunimitsu hug me. I froze a but I instantly smiled. I hug him back.

           "Goodluck ryuki. Yudan Sezu ni Ikkou." I chuckled at that then nod. We both pulled out then I walk straight to the opposite direction without looking back.

           'I won' look back. Not until I reach my goal. Win the national, seigaku !' A small voice on my head.
