"Captain, please wait" Riyona frowned and stopped Tezuka in his tracks

"What's wrong?"

"..." Riyona pulled his arm up so she can take a good look at it, she was silent for a few seconds before speaking "did you use your drop shot recently?"

"How did you know?" Tezuka was surprised that she knew just by looking at his arms

"The injury on your arm..." Riyona raised her head and looked at Tezuka "Why don't any of you care about your body? What if you can't play tennis anymore?!"

"I played with Ryoma" Tezuka said lightly

"With Ryoma?" Riyona murmured "You won, right? Ryoma really does need someone to show him that he isn't the strongest, and his arrogance...." Riyona starts slowly shaking her head

"You're not worried?"

"Worried? Why should I worry?" Riyona opened Tezuka's tennis bag and took out the bottle she gave him last time "have you used this thing?"

"...No..." to be honest, he forgot

"This should be used frequently, and I have a bottle for oral use, which is also useful for healing"

"Thank you"

"No, I would like to thank you. Thank you for letting Ryoma learn to grow. He grew up in a game that his father played tricks on, so he blindly wants to surpass dad... he's got potential but..." Riyona sighed

"But he has been imitating him all the time, correct?" Tezuka took over

"Yes, But after he went back yesterday, he shouted 'I want to be stronger!' He also scored a point from his father, for the first time! He's starting to grow..." Riyona smiled

"Riyona , Ryoma's your brother, right?" Tezuka said softly

"Yes, my name isn't Hitomi Riyona, but Echizen Riyona" Riyona smiled "at this point, Tezuka-senpai has already found out about this for a long time, right? Oh, and also Fuji-senpai you also guessed it, right?"

"I was found out?" Fuji came out from behind the trees "Riyona's very smart"

"Really?" Riyona smiled "however, I hope that Fuji-senpai and Tezuka-senpai won't tell the others"

"I won't"

"Is there a reason?" Fuji said with a almost sadistic smile

"If you tell them then things won't be interesting anymore"

"Um, that's true"

Tezuka silently looked at the two smiling people in front of him

~~~•~~~

"Huh? There are two cats!" Everyone in the tennis club was shocked

"Cat?" Riyona squeezed through the crowd and saw two familiar cats "Karubin! Kuromi!"

"Meow!" As soon as the two cats saw Riyona they rushed up to her

"Riyona, do you know these two cats?" Fuji asked

"Huh, yes. " she answered, and looked at the two cat in her arms, "How did you two little guys get out? Now, Ryoma being absent-minded today was because of you two, isn't it? Karubin, you really do make us worry, don't you?  And you, Kuromi, why are you running around here, instead of waiting for us at home?" The two cats let out a aggrieved cry

"Oh well, I'll take you guys home when club activity is over, just wait here, don't run around."

"Meow!"

~~~~*~~~~

"Hello? Ryoma?" Riyona, catching the towel that had been thrown to her by Fuji and gives him a smile

"......Are you home?"

"...... Don't worry about those two little guys, they are having a great time. "

"...... Hey, what do you mean, I'm telling you, be like that and I won't send Karubin back. "

"...... I see. "

"...... Then come here. "

"...... Well, that's it. "

"Yona, what's going on?" Rumiko asked.

"Its Ryoma, and he's coming to pick up Karubin. "Riyona waved to the two cats signaling them to come to her, " Karubin and Kuromi, came over. "

"Now, what are you doing? Stealing food again, huh?"

"Meow!"

"Karubin! Kuromi! You two stinky cats! You stole the food Yona made for me again!" Naomi came screaming down with her empty bento box

"Hey! Naomi! Don't you mess around!" Riyona rushed to protect the two cats, holding them in her arms, "Let them eat it, what's the big deal, why are you being angry with the cat, do you not know any shame!"

"No!" Naomi remains angry, "the two of them are always stealing my foods! Yona, you can't protect them! Not any more!"

"You're always bullying them, and now they're scared as soon they see you!"

"Meow!"

"Karubin!" Ryoma's voice caught the attention of Karubin

Karubin jumped out of Riyona arms and ran to Ryoma as fast as his little legs can let him, Naomi throws her empty bento box to the ground and was about to grab Karubin but Riyona stopped her

"Naomi! Stop making a big deal out of this, I'll make you a new one"

"Meow!"

"What you meowing at! Listen here you stinky cat, you better stop stealing my food or I'm going to steal yours!"

"I don't think cat food taste any good, and why do that to yourself?" Riyona looks at Naomi with a 'are you okay?' expression

"I think she's gone mad... Don't steal her food guys" Rumiko whispers to Riyona and they both start laughing
