It All Started With a Bet

Unintentional Dare

Hye! I am back again! Thank you for the reviews guys… I really appreciate them and some of you are still there… Thank you once again… ^^

I am sorry for the week delay. I was busy from the Cosmania event last week. My friend and I wore Yukata that day, the very first time I 'costripped' at such event. I was tired to move around after the day. Forgive me. For the compensation, I hope you like this. Domo... ^^

Note: By The Way - The cover photo was made by 'almelynNekochan'. Thank you for the wonderful image. I really love it... ^^

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Prince of Tennis and never will.

Chapter 2: Unintentional Dare

Chapter Summary: He was just caught in the middle for she was asking for it. It was unexpected for her because she was the poor victim of their bet.

"Let's have a bet."

"A bet?" He looked at her with a frowned reaction to his face.

She nodded as she crossed her arms in front of her, "You will court a girl to my likings until she'll become your girlfriend for three months and then after the third month, you will tell the girl that everything is all a bet. If you succeed in this bet, you'll be my boyfriend then."

"What?"

"What Ryoma-kun, can't you do it?"

He stared at her, "Who do you think I am?"

"Then, do we have a deal here?"

He thought hard first before he smirked at her.

"Deal!"

It all started with a bet.

It was ridiculous to begin with but he himself was ridiculous. He agreed on that stupid bet with her, with Honoka Kanzaki.

Why?

He was only in love with the girl. When he first confessed to her, the bet was born. He agreed to it and was ready to all challenges. He thought that it would be easy because he was popular with girls. Not that he didn't know about this but he had fan girls that he was, unfortunately, annoyed about. Sad to say, she had to choose to one of them.

Honoka had someone special in her mind. From the tip of her finger, she pinpointed a certain person who was walking on the hallway. His eyes widened when he recognized the girl. He didn't know the first name of the girl but he knew that he could recognize her.

She had twin braided pigtails and she was actually his coach's granddaughter. She was Ryuzaki. Maybe the reason why he remembered her surname was because she was Ryuzaki Sumire's granddaughter after all. So nothing was really special about her. Except that she was his coach's granddaughter. He had to be prepared for the tigress once she learned about this whole thing.

At first, he doubted whether to continue with the plan or not. He told Honoka about it but he was being called a chicken after that. He went on with the plan after that. Ryoma Echizen would never back out at anything, let alone to court a certain coach's granddaughter.

He observed her for a few days and learned that her name was Ryuzaki Sakuno. He had helped her for a lot of times so he could see her watching his matches most of the times so it was easy for him to do his plans.

…Which was really easy.

After a week of observance, he started approaching her again with non-related to tennis and tried to get to know her better. She was rather kind, shy, and stuttered when she talked to him. She was quiet and very eased to be with. When he confessed to her, she remained speechless all the time, but she nodded after he asked her to go out with him.
