Disclaimer: No matter how I love Prince of Tennis, it is not mine. It belongs to Takeshi Konomi-sensei so thank him for the amazing series.

Chapter 5 – Kawaii Neko

The two continued to walk briskly towards the third year building. Sakuno clutched her chest feeling exhausted with keeping up with Ryoma’s long strides. “Ryoma-kun” she started, her breath coming out in short pants. “Our class is about to start” she added, Ryoma spared her a glance, his mouth set in a frown.

“You want to go back there?” he asked once he turned his head forward. Sakuno frowned and shook her head; she doesn’t think she will want to have a repeat of what happened earlier. “I don’t want to” she answered meekly; Ryoma just grunted and step up his pace.

Due to their hurrying both took no notice of the stares they were getting. Sakuno clearly forgot that her ears and tails are on full view, making every student they come across stare at her. By the time they came to Inui’s classroom the whole school learned of Sakuno’s condition.

Both stopped abruptly on a closed classroom, Ryoma yanking the door open to call out to his senpai. “Is Inui-senpai here? I need to talk to him” he said glaring at the teacher then he swept the entire classroom and spotted Inui standing up from his seat.

Sakuno on the other hand finally took notice of the attention she got and she quivered in her place bunching up Ryoma’s uniform in her hands. The sight of her looked like a cute little kitten shaking in fear. Because of it she didn’t took notice of what Ryoma did and Inui getting close to them. She was snapped from her fear when she felt them moving again, with the two planking both her side and them entering an empty laboratory.

“Nyaa is that Ochibi, Sakuno-chan and Inui?” Kikumaru asked when both he and Fuji heard the commotion outside just in time to see the three enter a room. “Saa, it seems they are” Fuji answered, his eyes opened momentarily before he closed them again. “It seems something interesting will happen” he said smiling his sadistic smile.

On the other hand Inui examined Sakuno with interest, writing something in his green notebook once in a while. Ryoma seeing Sakuno uncomfortable tapped his foot impatiently, “So how can we get that off her?” he questioned after a few moments of silence on Inui’s part. Sakuno looked at her senpai wanting to hear some good news.

Inui sighed first before looking at his notes. “I can’t say…” he said uncertainty clear in his voice, “The juice I gave her is still in the testing process so I don’t know how long she will be sporting those” he finished looking at the younger girl who had her head down after hearing him say that.

“We just need to wait what will happen next and protect her from the Seigaku students I guess” Inui said again staring at the silhouettes of students cramming to see Sakuno. He then stared at his kohai who seems to be fuming and glaring multiple daggers to the people outside. He grinned and wrote something on his notebook, “I got some good data” he snickered to himself earning a glare from Ryoma.

“Are you saying that we should just wait it out?” he asked annoyed and Inui nodded his head. “I’m not really sure why the effect of my juice became like that, but I’m pretty sure that it will be gone in a few days” he answered. Ryoma grumbled a bit taking Sakuno’s hand in his, “Let’s go” he said then they left the room along with Inui.

Saying that a few students are waiting for them to go out is an understatement, the whole school seems to be there wanting to see ‘the cute and little cat girl.’ Thankfully though, the Seigaku tennis regulars are there along with Tomoka and the freshmen trio getting them out of there.
