Prince Of Tennis Fan Fiction ❯ Last Moon Rising ❯ Chapter 1

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

It was the day after Ryoma won the U.S. Open and everyone was welcome to visit him in California.
“Nyaaaaaaa!” the voice belongs to non other then the cheerful little cat…err…. redhead.
“Wah! Ochibi actually won! Yay! Yay!” Eiji was running around, hugging Ryoma like there was no tomorrow.
“It-Itai, Eiji-senpai!” Ryoma had only one eyes open, agonizing over the pain. “Hey, Ochibi, do you think I have a chance?” Eiji asked Ryoma, a very bright twinkle was in his eye.
Ryoma pulled down his hat, “Mada Mada Dane, Eiji-senpai…”
“Oi, what's that suppose to mean? Inui, give him your vegetable juice!” Eiji shouted. (sigh Am I the only one who thinks he's cute? Eiji I meant… not Inui!)
“Ehh…..matte….. I won't drink that…that...thing!” Ryoma shouted. As he backed he bumps into a certain red-hair girl.
“Ehh…,” Ryoma smirked. “Oi, Ryuzaki, this time I'm the one that's bumping into you,”
“R-Ryoma-kun….ah…gomen!” Sakuno frantically apologize.
See, that's the one thing that Ryoma never really get her, she apologize over everything, no…anything that happens even though it's not her fault.
“Mada mada dane,” Ryoma tilt his cap lower.
“Hey!” Momo shouted. “What do we have here? Two lovebirds?”
Ryoma could've sworn Sakuno's face turn into ten shades of unknown red.
“M-momo-senpai!” Sakuno shouted. “Ahaha, young lov-” BONK! Ryoma hit Momo across the head with his racket. “Baka…”
“O.k, that's enough, Momoshirou, if you don't stop it, I will have you run 50 laps when we get back!” a stoic voice came from behind.
“B-buchou!” Momo shouted. “But he start-”
“100!” Momo sighed in defeat but not after giving a death glare to Ryoma.
“Guys, let's go…Ryuzaki-sensei is out waiting outside for us,” Oishi said, beckoning for them to follow him.
oOoOoOoOo
“Oi, Echizen, isn't today an American holiday?” Ryuzaki-sensei asked Ryoma but all she got in return was an “Unn…”
One thing Sumire Ryuzaki didn't like was a person that doesn't answer her probably and believe it or not, Ryoma is one of them.
“Itai-ta-ta!” Ryuzaki-sensei's hand could be found on Ryoma's cheek.
“Fshhhhhhh…baka…” Kaidoh added in the back.
“O-obaa-chan, focus on the road!” Sakuno said, coming into Ryoma's rescue. Ryoma made a mental note to thank her later.
Well, then again…anyone would've had ask her to watch the road…continuous `Beeps' could be heard through out the street's of Los Angeles.
oOoOoOo(O.k, story not going well….I'm getting there! And I know, too much scene change…)
“Wah! Ochibi's house is so big…sugoi!” Eiji was the first one to have gotten out when the car stop.
But Ryoma wasn't listening to him. He was searching for a certain red-head. (No, not Eiji!) “Oi, Sakuno, right?”
Ryoma asked when he found her. Sakuno blushed when she heard Ryoma shouted her name. “H-hai,”
“Sankyuu…” Ryoma said. At first Sakuno didn't get it…but then when she did, she let out a big smile, even bigger than Fuji's. (wait…is that even possible?)
“Hey, Ryoma! Hurry up and open the door” Momo shouted. (As you guys probably figured, I prefer the lively ones! Don't get me wrong! I loved everybody, just the energetic ones more! I'm very energetic myself! XD!)
“Eh…hold on…BAKA OYAJI! OPEN THE DOOR!” Ryoma shouted at the top of his lungs.
When the door open, a middle age man that look like a monk was standing there, yawning and holding a PlayBoy magazine. Oishi was busying trying to cover everyone's eyes. (As expected from the mama!)
“Oi…Ryoma…hey…old hag…what are you doing her-!” Before the perverted old man had time to speak Ryuzaki-sensei was pinching his cheek.
Everybody thought in unison `Must be the father…it's got to be…'
“Who are you calling old hag? Just be grateful that you're still living!”
“Eh…kuzo's (no, I don't mean the turd, plz lets keep this rated PG!) friends? Come in, come in! Oh…what is this? Two beautiful ladies? Hello, hello! Come in! Don't be standing in the cold!”
“Oyaji…it's over a hundred degrees outside…”
“Ryoma! Bring these beautiful ladies some tea!” Nanjiroh shouted.
“Yada!” “Ryoma…mada mada dane!” Oh ya…that was definitely his dad.
Nanjiroh was holding on to Sakuno's shoulder like she were his precious diamonds.
“Oi! Oyaji, get your dirty hands off of her!” Ryoma shouted. “Oh...touche, now aren't we? Kuzo's got a girlfriend!” Nanjiroh sang.
Just hearing that made Sakuno turn red again. “Oyaji! I'm doing this for her safety! Who knows what kind of disgusting things you did with those hands!” Ryoma defended himself and yet mentally shivering at the stuff he did.
Then again what does he do with those hands?...censored…..the horror…too gruesome to show.
“Stingy, that's how you show respect for your elders? Ayah, Ryoma, mada mada dane!”
“What elder your nothing but a perverted old man!” What was that saying? Like father like son?
“Hey I'm a clean old man! Kuzo…how did I manage to raise you up like this?”
“Nanjiroh, darling, Is that Ryoma's friend? Quick invite them in!” An older woman stepped into the room. How his dad manage to get his mom into marrying him, Ryoma will never know.
“Ne, Ryoma, aren't you going to see the hanabis tonight? It is Independence day after all,” Rinko asked.
`Ryoma was hoping she wouldn't bring it up.
`Damn, I was hoping I would only bring Sakuno…crap…now everyone knows….,'
“Eh? What hanabis? Ochibi's hiding secrets!” Eiji shouted.
“Hanabis, eh, that'll be nice…I could watch people get burn by them. I'll bring my camera!” Fuji said as he smiled. (like when does he not?)
“Hm…Echizen has a family of 3, dad's a perverted old monk, mom is very pretty, gets jealous, hmm….useful data…” Inui was busying scribbling away in his book.
“Fshhhhh,”
“BURNING! HANABI! YES! LET'S GO GET'EM BABY!” Some how taka-san manage to get a racket…don't ask me how…
“Hoi, hoi! Ha-na-bi!” Eiji shouted, doing cartwheels. Oishi was busying checking if anything was broken. ( Jeez, if that was my brother, he wouldn't ) rest for one sec, know what I mean :wink wink:
For some reason Ryoma pulled Momo away for a second.
“Momo-senpai, I need help on something,” Ryoma whisper in his ear.
“Eh? Ryoma actually needs help? Oh, who's it for? A girl?” Momo teased.
Ryoma turn red. When he didn't answer back, Momo realize it was for a girl. “For real? A girl? Lucky!”
“Momo-senpai! I need a little help though…I'll need all the senpai's help though…o.k…here's the plan…”
“What took you guys so long?” Oishi asked.
“Oh nothing…” Momo sang. Ryoma kicked him in the shin.
“Uh…guys..can you come over for a second! My stomach hurts! OWOWOWOWWOO!” Momo screamed.(My stomach hurts a lot right now too!) .Luckily Ryoma had already taken Sakuno and leave the house.
“O.k…Ryoma has already departed with target. Now here's the plane!”
After a couple minutes Eiji shouted up in surprise.
“NYA! Ochibi is so lucky!” “O.k. guys, get in your positions, we have 30 minuets to get this done, let's go!”
“Eh? A-ano…Ryoma-kun…how come there's no one else coming?” Ryoma had lead Sakuno too a lake where the moon was at the fullest and it look really big. (that's where the title comes in!XD!)
“Beautiful right?” Ryoma asked. Sakuno nodded with an eagerness that only she could do. “It looks as if the moon can't shine any brighter…”
Ryoma chuckled. “I wasn't talking about the moon,” (HINT HINT)
“Eh? Ryoma was-,” Sakuno was cut off when Ryoma pressed his lips against hers. And at the right moment, the first firework of the night blew right in front of them.
It went dead center of the moon, exploded into a million pieces and was glistening like a million shooting stars falling down to Earth, in an everlasting night. As they pulled apart Sakuno blushed, hard.
Click Click. Fuji and the others were hiding in a bush not far behind. “Go get her, Ochibi!” Eiji shouted. Fuji had a camera in his hand. “Fuji-senpai, you got the picture?” Ryoma asked. Fuji held up his camera. “Yup!”
“Eh? Nani?” Sakuno asked. She blushed again when Fuji hold up the camera. “Mou…Ryoma-kun…meanie…h-how did senpais get here?”
“Uh, duh? Who did you think did the fireworks?” Momo said.
It was almost 11 when everyone decides to head back home.
“Nani? Where's Ochibi?” Eiji asked. “Eiji, let's leave them alone, k?” Oishi said…well really pushed Eiji back into the house.
“Only me now Ryoma…” Sakuno said, her head lay against Ryoma's shoulder, staring at the lake. “Eh?” That left Ryoma in confusion.
“Only me… from now on…Ryoma can only look at me” Ryoma never really did like being bossed around…but…he'll let this one passed. “Never even cross my mind,”
Five Years Later
It seem like it was only yesterday when the world youngest Wimbledon player had reach the world's top player! Now at the age of 20, our own very Ryoma Echizen was found that he has a wife, and even a family. This young, yet talented player continues to amused the world with astounding and surprising news and now another-

“That things full of lies I tell ya!” Ryoma shouted to the television. Ryoma Echizen top world tennis player, shouting at the T.V. What would people give to see that?
A girl with mid-back , red curling locks just sat on the couch, smiling too herself. “Well the family part is true...” She answered. “Huh?” Ryoma gave her the pout/cute/hot as hell look.
“The doctor said I'm three months along!”……wait for it….wait for it….
“SAKUNO!” Ryoma went and pick her up. Half hugging her, half squeezing her to deaf. “ You think it's a girl or a boy?” Sakuno asked.
“Which ever is o.k…but hey…who knows, they might want another sibling to play with,” Ryoma whisper in her ear. It took a second for Sakuno to get that, when she did, she blush.
Like I said before...Ryoma never really got it how she manage not to change, sure her looks now look like a women, not some girly braids, even though Ryoma secretly liked them. But...then again…Ryoma never quite understand women now…but he sure as hell hope Sakuno never will change.
