Tennis no Ojou-sama: A Prince of Tennis Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 55: The Night Before Day 1

The girls stayed for a few more minutes and exchanged words with their team captains and vice captains.

"Yoroshiku-onegaishimasu." Ryouko said, nodding her head to Shiraishi and Sanada.

"Same here." Shiraishi said, holding out his hand for a handshake. Ryouko took it. She also shook hands with Sanada.

"Yoroshiku. I look forward to being in your team." Yukimura said, standing next to Sanada, smiling with his eyes at the Seigaku manager.

Ryouko took a step back and looked serious. "What? Is something wrong?" Shiraishi asked. Yukimura looked surprised.

"I'm not good with nice-looking guys. They seem to be hiding something behind that smile." Ryouko blurted out.

Yukimura's eyes were wide with surprise. Sanada and Shiraishi looked dumbfounded.

All of a sudden, Yukimura laughed out loud. It was the first time in his life that such a thing was said to him. Sanada, although stone-faced as he always is, couldn't hide an amused simper. Shiraishi also gave a short laugh. "Omoshiroi ko da ne, kimi wa. (You're such an interesting kid.)" He said.

"Ore no koto kimishinakutemo ii kara. (You don't have to mind about me.)" Yukimura told Ryouko. He held out his hand in front of him.

Ryouko blinked in response. "If you say so." She said and finally returned the handshake.

Yukimura, Shiraishi and Sanada watched as the girls went on their way to their own cabin.

"I have a feeling that this camp is going to be even more special because of that girl. She's very unique." Yukimura commented.

"That, I can agree fully." Shiraishi said.

"Let's go. The captains and vice captains are proceeding to the building." Sanada told Shiraishi.

"Okay." Shiraishi answered.

"I'll see you around, Buchou." Yukimura jokingly told Sanada. Sanada rolled his eyes.

The girls lugged their bags and baggages and placed it in a trolley. Momoshiro and Kawamura helped them deliver it to where they would stay for the remainder of the camp. Mami and Miyako swooned at the sight of their cabin. Tomoka and Sakuno blinked in awe and An smiled. Indeed, the cabin was a very nice one.

It was a cream white building the size of a normal home. It looked too big for six girls to stay in. The exterior was breath-taking, for the cabin was surrounded with a wooden fence painted white with small intricate designs and a beautiful garden was in front of the house. One side grew large, colorful flowers and lush bushes while in the other, there was a high canopy wherein hanging vines dropped melancholically, swaying everytime the breeze blew in.

Below the vines was a circular stone table, prettily carved with flowery designs on the edge. There were eight chairs around it, obviously a place designed for tea and relaxation.

"It's beautiful..." Sakuno breathed.

"Yeah..." Tomoka agreed, a bit speechless.

"This place looks so romantic." Miyako said, clasping her hands in delight.

"And an appropriate place for girls to stay too..." An commented.

"They thought this over. I'm quite touched." Mami said.

Ryouko didn't even stop to admire the beauty of the cabin. She went ahead, entering the fence with her bags on both sides. She didn't need a trolley for her luggages were far lesser.
