Ryoka's POV:

...

I know that I am not a normal girl. I'm not bragging, not really. I have great hearing, so I'm not blind to all the rumors or the gossip about me. People say I'm strange. Their was even a time where someone told me that I don't really have humanity understanding.

But even I have enough humanity sense to say.

...

This is seriously awkward.

...

Not that I would tell them of course. That's no fun. I smiled a polite prince-like smile at them, "Its nice to see you again, Rikkadai-chan~" I said with a light teasing tone at the end. The seaweed head, what was his name again? Kirihara, I think? Well, he suddenly became red and went into dramatic noisy mode.

"AHHH!!!! YOUR THAT COOL PRINCE LOOKING PERSON THAT ACTUALLY HAD A DECENT MATCH WITH SANADA-BUCHOU!!!!" He pointed at me. How rude. And noisy.

"Oyama, its the noisy seaweed head." I said out loud as I stared blankly at him with a hand on my chin as if in slight surprise.

"OI!! ITS KIRIHARA AKAYA!!! REMEMBER THAT!!" I turned back around closing my eyes with a sigh, I took a sip of my green tea. "Ah. Sou? Watashi wa name Hiro, yoroshiku!" I said with a bright smile.

"I ALREADY KNOW THAT!! DON'T BE SO INNOCENT!!"

I tipped my head and gave a pouty look, well aware that stars and sparkles were around me, "What do you mean, Kirihara-san, I was just being polite."

"THAT!!! THAT'S WHAT I MEAN!!! DON'T DO THAT SPARKLE LOOK!!! He pointed at me dramatically again. Taku... Pointing is rude, they don't teach kids anything these days... (Shin-chan: He's older then you, Ryoka-chan...)

No one's POV:

The rest of the somewhat more mature (actually, scratch that, the less childish) Rikkadai tennis club watched in the. . . . entertaining argument.

Actually, it was only Kirihara who was arguing, Hiro was pretty much retorting calmly with a fresh smile. Definitely enjoying this...

Yukimura snapped out of his silent shock and gave his usual kind smile. "Hiro-kun! It's so nice to see you again! Were you planning to eat here as well?" Hiro turned his attention to Yukimura and eyed him up and down. 'Who was he again.....? Ah! That's right, the captain. The 'Child of God..' Hmm.. it must be a pain to live up to such a name.' Ryoka thought.

Yukimura, on the other hand, was kind of uncomfortable to be under that sharp deep bright green and the other sparkly golden gaze. He felt a slight blood rush around his face, but he absolutely refused to blush. Ryoka, with her sharp eyes, kind of noticed this. She raised an eyebrow at him, but smiled, hoping it might relax whatever uncomfortable feelings he felt. Yukimura who obviously got this, was touched and embarrassed. He hid it behind a smile.

The rest of the Rikkadai regulars were not dumb-

...

Ok, maybe a little (Ryoka admitted it even though she only knew them for a few hours), but they are sharp. And some of them saw this mini silent conversation. Niou (I think that was his name) gave a mischievous smile, while Yanagi gave a small smile, "How interesting..." Ryoka heard him mutter under his breath. Sanada seemed to look confusingly at Yukimura. Marui snickered, while Kirihara looked quite lost.

Jackal, being the mother one of the group, decided to save Yukimura. "Were you planning to eat here, Hiro-kun?" He asked. Hiro, turned to him and gave a polite princely smile. "Well, under some unpleasant circumstances, I ended up being stuck at Kanagawa for the night, since the last train to Tokyo already left.

"Eh? You live in Tokyo?" Marui asked, chewing on a new piece of gum. "That's right, and before you ask, yes, I only came to Kanagawa last time to check out the famous Rikkadai."

Yanagi took note of this.

"Well, since it looks like you are all booked in today, I'll go eat somewhere else before I go on a search for a place to sleep." Hiro said, as he flicked his hair since it seemed slightly uncomfortable.

It was a good thing no girls were there at the moment when he flicked his hair.

Hiro got up and dusted his pants slightly (dusted off the imaginary dust), as he gave a slight bow. He then charmed them with a small close-eyed smile, and immediately escaped.

Yukimura was the first one to snap out of the charm trance. He smiled a close eyed smile, "Akaya, Niou, Marui." They all saluted. "Hai!" Then they dashed out the door after the heterochromic eyed boy.

Jackal's dad, who was sadly quite lost, smiled while slightly sweat-dropping. "M-Ma...so your usual orders?" Yukimura smiled, "Hai. Onegaishimasu. Oh, and could you add one more order? Your best and most popular ramen please."

"Right away!" Jackal's dad said as he became to cook, he was guessing that this new order was for that pretty boy who just escaped, he decided to make it extra special, hoping it might get rid of some stress when he does get caught.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Order up!" Jackal's dad shouted, as he put 9 bowls of ramen down. Yukimura, Sanada, Yagayu, Yanagi, and Jackal began to eat. "Ikadakimasu!"

Just then the door to the ramen shop burst open and in marched Marui, Kirihara, and Niou, all carrying a very familiar blond haired prince-like boy with two different eye colors. He still looked very elegant....despite the situation he was in.

Hiro was wrapped up in ropes and had tape wrapped up around his mouth. (Thank goodness the police aren't here..) If anyone else was there, it would have looked like they just kidnapped and gagged a young middle schooler....well, it still looks like that to Jackal's dad, Yagayu, Sanada, and Jackal. Yanagi and Yukimura looked rather pleased and not deadpanning at all (unlike some people)

"Ara, ara~ Hiro-kun, its so nice of you join us." 'This situation is kind of familiar to me...' thought Ryoka, remembering her first meeting with the Seigaku regulars at the Sushi shop.

Ryoka mentally scolded herself, she underestimated the Rikkadai members. That and she wasn't wearing very good shoes for running and the fact that she was quite hungry. She is quite weak if she doesn't have food in her stomach.

Still, this is quite rude. Don't they know how to treat a lady? (Well, they don't know that she is a girl, but still.)

The regulars watched as Hiro was silent for a while, Yagayu, being the gentleman, walked up to him. "Here, allow me to help. My apologies for their horrible treatment." Hiro still said nothing (not like he could, their was tape over his mouth) but eyed him under his sharp gaze. Yagayu, like Yukimura, found himself in trance and unable to control his own body under the young boy's gaze.

The trance broke when Hiro moved his gaze to his three kidnappers who looked quite proud of themselves as they dove into the ramen. The regulars heard him sigh, as he stood up. Then surprising them by breaking the ropes off easily, stretching his arms, with now free hands he took off the tape in a smooth motion with no signs of pain and stared at the still three oblivious kidnappers.

The 3 kidnappers, now sensing Hiro's icily sharp stare, slowly turned around and found themselves the new victims under Hiro's gaze.

Hiro then glared.

The victims froze.

Hiro smiled as he sharpened his gaze, then moved towards there bowls of ramen and moved the bowls to a empty seat next to it, and started eating peacefully.

The rest of the regulars, tried to get the 3 to snap out of it.

"How fascinating... under his gaze, he can also control them in a trance." Yanagi observed as Jackal tried frantically to catch their attention. Yanagi began to write notes in his notebook. Sanada was massaging his temples, not sure to be happy of the peacefulness, or be worried since they were so easily stuck in a unnatural trance. "Tarundoru..." He mumbled under his breath.

They all tried a different method to see if they would wake up, while Hiro was still peacefully eating the 3 kidnappers ramen.

Jackal tried a boring normal method of trying to shake them or shout at them to snap out of it. Failed.

Yagayuu tried talking to them while making silent threats to wake up. Big fail.

Yanagi opened their mouths. No reactions. Then he got pitcher of really smelly juice. Jackal and Yagayuu slightly cringed, knowing what it is, while Sanada took a few steps away without anyone noticing except Yukimura and Yanagi.

Hiro who was eating peacefully, smelled a very unpleasant odor. He slightly crunched his nose, not knowing how cute he looked while doing that. Hiro turned around and took a quick curious glance at the pitcher. He had a slightly bad feeling around it, but ignored it and went back to find some comfort in the ramen he stole from his kidnappers.

Yanagi then poured quite a large amount of the stinky liquid down their mouths. They could see the reaction clearly in their eyes. Hiro took another quick glance. 'Hmm..they got a slight reaction...that juice is powerful...but I'm not sure I want to know what it is.' He went back to eating ramen.

Sanada then slapped them. Hard. Surprisingly the 3 victims in trance didn't even flinch while their eyes obviously showed pain. Yanagi wrote this down. "Hmm... it seems that they are still concious, but can't control their body...how interesting."

Yukimura, who was watching all this, found this all quite entertaining. He chuckled as he took another quick glance at the one who caused all this entertainment, Hiro was still eating peacefully, he seemed to be really enjoying his ramen since their was a real smile on his face. Unlike all his polite princely smiles.

Yukimura then looked at the 3 victims, he took pity on them, after all, he was the one who ordered it. (But he's not going to tell Hiro that.) Yukimura then commanded, "Akaya, Marui, Niou, wake up."

They then snapped out of trance and collapsed in relief and started moving their arms as if not believing they could control themselves. Yukimura chuckled as Marui and Kirihara cried as they thanked Yukimura. Yukimura then felt the familiar sharp gaze on him. He looked up and stared at Hiro, his gaze not unwavering, Yukimura refused to lose after all.

Hiro then soften his eyes and laughed slightly, "This is the first time someone else other then me was able to snap them out of my trance. Not only that, it was the first time I watched a captain finding this all entertaining. Your quite interesting, Yukimura Seiichi-san."

"Likewise, Hiro-kun." Yukimura said with a smile, Hiro returned his smile with one raised eyebrows.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!" There small moment was ruined when Marui and Kirihara screamed in horror. They turned to look at them to see what was wrong. "YOU ATE ALL OUR RAMEN!!!" They both accused Hiro with pointed fingers.

"Mmm! It was delicious. Thanks for the meal!" Hiro said with a sparkly innocent smile as he clapped his hands.

"DON'T PRETEND TO BE INNOCENT!"

Yanagi then realized something and quickly observed and calculated, "Hiro started eating 3 gigantic bowls of ramen when those three were first in trance, which was 10 minutes ago.... so that means Hiro finished 3 giant bowls of ramen in 7 minutes..." The regulars turned to look at Hiro was eating another bowl of ramen that Yukimura ordered for him earlier.

'Despite his delicate, small, and skinny appearance, he has quite an appetite!' The regulars thought.

Hiro then turned to them and noticed their piercing stares as he continued to eat his fourth gigantic bowl of ramen, he stopped for a moment and gave them a slightly confused glance, "Is their something wrong?"

'Is he still pretending to be innocent..?' The regulars asked....only Hiro knows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks for the meal!"

The regulars and Hiro were now out of the shop. As Hiro stretched, "Ah, what a satisfying dinner, maybe I'll come back to Kanagawa more often" He said outloud.

'I can't believe he ate 2 more gigantic bowls of ramen....' The Kirihara, Marui, Yagayuu, and Jackal thought still staring at the 'small' and 'delicate' boy who still shockingly didn't look any fatter.

Hiro gave his usual light princely mysterious smile at them, "Ma, see you again soon, I have to go find a place to spend the night." He turned to walk away, but then he was stopped by a hand. Hiro turned to find that the hand belonged to Yukimura.

"Why don't you stay with us? We're having a sleepover at Sanada's house. Its better then paying for a hotel." Hiro outwardly smiled, while inside Ryoka was slightly wary.

"No, its fine. I already interrupted your dinner together. Besides, I-" Suddenly Yukimura smile sharpened, but he didn't say anything. 3 hands patted Hiro's shoulder. They belonged to Jackal, Kirihara, and Jackal. They didn't say anything but their eyes obviously said, 'You don't get a choice in front of Yukimura-buchou'

Hiro sighed, as he turned back and smiled politely at Yukimura while inside his head he said,

'Good to know...'
