Chapter 2- The First Lap
Echizen Ryoma wondered why he bothered to explain himself to Kevin-- it wasn't as if it was any of the other boy¡¯s business. Truth be told, he had been startled when Kevin punched him at the airport the day he wanted to depart for Japan to have a private match with Tezuka-buchou. He had no idea why Kevin appeared so upset that day. It was like Kevin thought he wouldn't be coming back for the rest of the tournament. 'Do I look like the sort of person who would give up such a good opportunity?' Ryoma mentally questioned himself.
He was drawn out of his thoughts when he found himself standing in front of his home in America, standing in front of the house he found himself remembering during his days spent in Japan. With a sigh, he shook himself from his thoughts and gestured for Kevin to enter the house before him.
Closing the door behind him, he let Karupin roam the room freely while he brought Kevin to the family room. Upon reaching the family room, he found both his parents busy unpacking their belongings. Catching their attention, he introduced. "Mom, this is Kevin Smith."
Turning to Kevin, he began, "This is my mother... and my father..." he added grudgingly.
"So...that is the famous Echizen Nanjiroh who defeated my father...eh?" Kevin smirked.
At that moment, Nanjiroh's pornographic magazines dropped out from the box he was carrying. Kevin caught sight of it and shot a look at Ryoma, who in turn, simply shrugged and ignored his father¡¯s antics. Echizen Rinko ignored Nanjiroh and smiled at Kevin warmly. "Care to join us for dinner? It's not common for Ryoma to have friends over, even when we are staying in Japan."
Ryoma glanced at Kevin from the corner of his eye and found the other boy looking at him for help, before he heard Kevin answering his mother hesitantly, "Well... I would love to stay...if Ryoma agrees to it."
Resisting the urge to sigh, Ryoma merely shrugged and replied. "It's your choice."
"Good...I'll start making dinner then..." Rinko said. "Ryoma, you don't mind showing Kevin around, do you?" she added as she stepped into the kitchen.
"Che..." Ryoma uttered incoherently, before gesturing for Kevin to follow him upstairs.
Opening the door to his room, he said, "Just ignore my father, he can be very irritating sometimes."
"So...what do you want to do until it's time for dinner?" Kevin asked, looking around the room for some source of entertainment.
Ryoma glanced at the clock and mentally counted the time for dinner to be ready. Realizing that dinner would be ready in half an hour¡¯s time, and that they really couldn¡¯t do anything interesting, he suggested. "Well... we could always watch a show on television..."
They were halfway through a tennis match video when they heard Rinko calling them down for dinner. Switching off the television, both of them hurried downstairs to join Nanjiroh and his wife for dinner. The dinner progressed on uneventfully, if you excluded Nanjiroh's failures at attempting humor.
After dinner, Ryoma sent Kevin to the door. He was about to return to the house when Kevin spoke up.
"What time is your match tomorrow?"
"9 a.m." Ryoma replied, before asking, "Why do you ask?"
"I'm going there to support you..." Kevin smiled in response, before heading down the street for home.
Ryoma stared at Kevin's departing figure and sighed. A slight smile was seen tugging at his lips as he turned and headed back towards the lighted house.
