The Queen of Sports

2. Japan?

<<<<Time skip to 2 years later>>>>

It has been two years since I last saw Ryo and Tai, we called each other but it was not the same, still I really appreciate how they still remembered.

I looked through the planes window, guess I have to start again.

<<<<Time skip to landing>>>>

I looked around and saw an entirely new landscape, sure I have seen many countries but landing in Tokio was really impressive, I turned to look at my parents, they just smiled. 'Let's go see your future school dear, you need to take the entrance exam' ma mother sweetly said, I nodded 'Yes, mother' I missed my friends, but I heard Ryo is in Japan too, so maybe I'll be able to see him soon enough.

When we arrived at the school I looked at the name 'Teiko middle school' I muttered, it was one of the best schools in the region, or at least that's what my father said.

When we entered we were directed to the headmaster's office, I was a bit late to take the entrance exam with the rest. 'Good morning miss, I am Saito Mizuki, the headmaster, your parents will go out, while you take the entrance exam, I'll stay here if yoave any doubt' I smiled sweetly ' Thank you sir' I looked at my parents 'We'll leave then, sweetheart' father said, I nodded.

I started the exam, it was pretty easy, it took me like an hour to finish it, once I told the headmaster he graded me, I was confident, so I wasn't surprised at all when he told me I aced the exam, I smiled and asked 'Will I be able to enroll then?' Je justed laughed and nodded.

When my parents arrived the secretary took us to give us a tour, I looked at the 3 gyms and smiled. I couldn't wait to start classes.

I walked through them, of course they were empty, as we were still on holidays, however they looked beautiful, they were sparkling. I smiled.

<<<<Time skip to leaving Teiko>>>>

We were on our way home, when my phone ringed, I looked at the caller's ID, it was Ryo, lately we've been talking more, starting our calls earlier and ending them after Tai hangs up, I answered quickly.

'Hey Nora, you ready to sleep?' he asked, I smiled'Not quite yet, it would be weired if I slept during the day, would it not?' I answer, he looked surprised' Were are you right now?' he quickly asked, I knew he would get it' I'm somewhere in Tokyo, don't really know the name of the exact place '

' In Tokyo? That's too far, we'll at least we're in the same country' he complained, I couldn't help but laugh, he just seemed so cute, I could imagine him pouting, and I couldn't believe he would still do something like that.

'Where are you?' I asked 'I'm in Kantou Region, a bit far from Tokyo' he complained. I covered the mic of my phone. 'Mamma can we go to Kantou region, please?' I begged my parents just smiled and nodded 'Sure sweetie, where to?' Pappa asked, I uncovered the mic 'Where are you exactly?' I asked Ryo 'I'm in my home, beside the Kantou temple' he answered confused, I smiled and told my parents while covering the mic again, once they nodded I uncovered the mic.

'Ne Ryo, do you miss me?' I asked 'As if you don't know the answer' he said 'Come on Ryo, tell me' I pleaded, then I heard him sigh 'Yes, I do, of course I do' I giggled a little and he started to complain about me making fun of him.

'We're here dear' mamma said, I smiled and went out of the car, I looked at my parents and as my dad shook his head he gave me my bag, I looked at him curiously as I took it 'Your mom talked to Nanjiro, you'll be staying here two nights' I was happy, really happy, I hugged than and said goodbye, then I knocked on the door twice.

I heard Ryo complaining about having to open the door when he was talking to me and once he opened the door he couldn't believe I was in front of him, I smiled and gave a small wave. He just stood there, looking at me.

'Hey...' I said, he tackled me into a hug, I hugged back 'You've grown, you're even more...' I couldn't listen to the last part as he muttered it.

POV Ryoma

I was talking with Nora when someone knocked on the door oyaji told me to go and open the door and mom told me too, I went to open it complaining about losing time with Nora, when I opened the door I couldn't belive what I saw, there stood Nora, I was dumbfounded, just staring at her.

'Hey...' she said, I couldn't hold it anymore so I gave her a hug, one that I was longing for, I couldn't help but mutter 'You've grown, you're even more beautiful', I blushed really hard and departed.

'Wha-what are you..?' 'I'll be staying here, two nights' she answered smiling, I hugged her again 'I've missed you, you have no idea how much' I told her. We parted ways and she hold my hand, like what we used to, still the feeling was different, as if we were different, I guess we are. 'Let's go inside' she pulled me to my own home, while I just squeeze her hand a bit.

POV Nora

I took his hand, like when we were little, his hand was way bigger, I could feel it was different, the shape, even the way I felt inside, still, I didn't let go of his hand, instead I pulled him inside, while walking he squeezed my hand, I couldn't help but squeeze back, a smile on my lips and a blush on my checks.

We spend the whole nights talking to each other, we stayed in the same room and we slept in the same bed as when we were little, we just stayed together all the time we could.

<<<<Time skip two days later>>>>

I was at the door, waiting for my parents to show up, hopefully they wouldn't, I want to stay a bit more, but classes start tomorrow and I know they won't let me stay here any longer.

Whe Ryo sees dad's blue car he grabs my hand, not like when we were little but as he has been doing for the last two days, I smile first to our hands then to Ryo, before my parents are too close I give Ryo a quick peck on his check, just then my parents reach us, we let go of each other's hand as I step into the car, we slowly wave at each other and soon I can no longer see Ryo.
