Hi! I am going to start with a fic. I may not be able to update them regularly but I promise you that I will never abandon this. This is a new fic anyone and for another one… this is going to be drama and full of angst… whahahah… Sorry about that… But remember I will not end a story without its happy ending… so yeah… ^^

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Prince of Tennis and Never ever will.

Prologue

Summary: One word changed it but one sentence ruined everything.

“Sorry…”

One word ended it all.

One word changed it.

That day, where the practice was over, people could only be numbered inside the court, heard what their youngest regular member said to the innocent young girl in front of him.

He… who confessed to her three months ago.

He… who gave enough effort to court her.

And he… who was her boyfriend… until now.

She was just looking at him, standing in front of her. His amber eyes were dull as always, the stare that she used to see from him. His hands were inside his pocket and his stance was firm. He was telling her that he didn’t care what was happening around them. He was just staring at her.

No emotion.

Just dull.

Time seemed to stop when he said that one word to her. She felt that his word had a different meaning. It wasn’t a simple mistake or something. One word hurt her.

And she thought that was all.

“It was all a bet.”

Her eyes widened. If one word was painful enough for her, one sentence had already killed her.

That one sentence ruined everything.

“Oi! Echizen, what are you saying?” She could hear Momoshiro retorted. His voice was full of angst and he could feel betrayal at that moment.

“What do you mean by that, Ochibi? Apologize to Ryuzaki-chan!” Eiji walked closer to him and pointed her to him.

“I already did.” He stoically said still looking at her.

“Echizen, that’s not what we wanted to hear!” Oishi grabbed the girl’s shoulder, “What do you mean that it was all a bet?”

“She asked me if everything was real,” He said closing his eyes in the process, “So I told her the truth.”

“You bastard!” Momo couldn’t hold it in and grabbed him to his collar, “How could you play with her heart?”

She saw how he smirked and it was too painful. She was frozen at her feet, couldn’t move and couldn’t speak. That was the power that he had over her.  She didn’t hear what he said at that moment. She only flinched when Momo punched him really hard.

“Momo, stop that!” Fuji tried to stop them. Kawamura stopped the dunk smasher while the one being punched was sitting on the ground.

“You deserve more than that!” Momo shouted that time and he wanted to give him another, “I’ll never forgive you for this!”

“Ryoma-kun!”

That wasn’t her voice and she was sure of that. She saw him standing up when he heard someone call his name. Everyone in the court looked at the direction where the voice came from.

“That’s…” Kaidoh’s dilated eyes were focused at the newcomer.

A ponytailed-brunette girl ran towards them, wearing the same uniform

“Honoka.” Ryoma said as she reached the boy.

“Honoka?” Eiji couldn’t believe what he was seeing, “You are Honoka Kanzaki, right?”

“The one and only,” Honoka proudly presented herself in front of them. She wrapped her arms around Ryoma’s neck as she stared at shocked face, “Ryoma-kun’s I mean.”

“Echizen what is the meaning of this?” Fuji said gripping his hands tighter.

She was still speechless until that very moment. She could feel Oishi’s grips to her shoulder tighten as well. Her whole system was not cooperating with her. She was just staring at the both of them.

…The both of them who were watching straight at her.

…The two of them who were standing a few inches from her.

It was all a bet.

Yeah, that one sentence ruined everything.

Her world seemed to crash down when the only person that she loved the most painlessly hurt her at that very moment. 

Ryoma smirked at her before he cupped Honoka’s chin and passionately kissed her in front of everyone.

…In front of her, in front of her widened eyes.

Done! How was the prologue? This serves as an appetizer… Tee hee hee. This may not be a regular update but if my motivation will be stronger than before I’ll make this a regular one.

Reminder: This story is full of drama and angst.

I know that Ryoma will be hated starting to this point and to the next chapters as well. Can’t help  it. Anyway, something will change as the story progresses. I hope you’ll like this too.

Meet my new OC Honoka Kanzaki. I thought of bringing her again from my last one-shot song fic ‘She’s Spice… Not!’ If her name is the being heard from another anime it is only coincidental and not really related to that said anime. Purely-imagined by me… :P

Reviews please! This is another drama once again… but a new Sakuno will appear here… how new? You’ll find out soon… Domo… So tell me your thoughts please… thank you again… ^^

Next chapter: Moving On
