[Prince of Tennis] My Younger Sister

Chapter 5: Camp part 1

So now, The Seigaku Tennis team along with Rika is on a bus, heading towards The training grounds. Everyone was asleep, trying to conserve energy for the later trainings, but a certain 3 year old have other plans. She went around the bus, from her seat next to Ryoma to the TezuFuji's and even to The golden pair's. When sleep hits her, she decides that Kaidoh's lap was a nice place to have a nap, placing herself on the said boy's lap, she snuggles closer to him for warmth without waking the older, slowly drifting off to deep sleep.

"Now what do we do?" Whispers were exchanged when the bus came to a stop indicating that they have reached the camp site. And everyone's attention is now on the 3 year old on Kaidoh's lap, happily sleeping away.
"I guess you all can go to the dorm rooms now. Ryoma, you and Rika-chan will share the same room with Kaidoh. Any objections? No? Now get moving." Coach Ryuzaki said, getting everyone to start moving as she picked up the sleeping girl gently, so as to not wake her up.

After some time, everyone finally settle down and head to the Cafeteria to gather and have a briefing about the camp, leaving Rika in the room to sleep. When she finally woke up from her dreamland, she looked around. No Ryo-nii. No mommy. No daddy. No anyone. Feeling scared, she curled up into a ball, sniffling and sobbing.
"Did you hear someone crying?" A gentle voice asked from outside the door.
"I think Its from inside." A tough voice said in return. "Seiichi, I don't think we should ente-" the man was cut off when A gasp was heard from the certain Captain of Rikkaidai. "There is a child here! Oh goodness, I love kids!" He walked closer to Rika and coos softly, gently picking the child up, rocking her in a comforting way. "Whats wrong child? You can tell me."
"B-but mommy says Rika can't talk to stwangers..." the girl sniffles, rubbing tears out of her golden eyes, looking at the man.

"Oh where are my manners! Sorry, My name is Yukimura Seiichi, and this stoic one behind us is Sanada Genichirou. Now you know us! See, you can talk to me!" Seiichi chuckles and gently pat Rika's hair, smoothing it down.
"Rika's name is Echizen Rika..." she sniffles as she speak softly, making Seiichi coo as her speaking in Third person despite introducing herself.
"Rika woke up and Ryo nii-chan ish gone!" She was about to start crying again, when Sanada rest a gentle hand on Rika's head to calm her down.

"Gen, I think 'Ryo nii-chan' is Ryoma, isn't it? Lets bring her with us! I really like her!" Seiichi gently rubbed his cheeks against Rika's and flashes his puppy eyes at his boyfriend, which he knows the other would definitely give in for.
"A-alright, but Seiichi, we need to go get the team first. Lets go." Sanada said, making Seiichi grin, heading off with Sanada to the tennis court where their teammates are waiting for them, while talking and playing with Rika to make her smile.
