DISCLAIMER: *clears throat* Despite wanting to own Prince of Tennis, I can't. I don't own it now and never will I own it.

STILL, a bit of OOCness won't kill. Don't like it? Don't read. That simple.

Epilogue

As Ryoma and Choutaro walked away, the rest of the tennis players watched in shocked as a dark green haired freshman held hands with a blond junior. Inui and Renji smiled at each other, knowing that it was Choutaro who the boy had wanted from the very beginning. The freshmen group plus the two girls smiled as they saw the pair walk away.

"That ends everyone's curiosity." Commented Sakuno with a huge smile in her face as she turned and pulled Tomoka with her to put away the first aid kits and bring them back to the locker room. The clinic was probably close then so they'd have to return the kits first thing Monday morning.

Shishido wasn't shocked at all since he already had an idea as to whom it was that Choutaro fought hard for. The rest of those who were after Ryoma, minus Ibu, stared in shock still.

"I can't believe that a double's player had won Ryo-chan's hand." Fuji said with a pout.

"Well, as long as Ryoma is happy, that I don't mind. But if he hurts him, all bets are off." Momo said protectively of his best friend.

Yukimura, Sanada, and Kirihara nodded as well as Yuuta, Tezuka, Kentaro, and Reiji. As long as the boy was happy then so would they be.

As they were walking home…

"I wonder what they would have been thinking when they said that you were invited to dinner." Ryoma asked with an amused tone.

Choutaro had to laugh lightly as well.

"Well, one thing I know, I don't care what they were thinking. I may not have won the mock tournament but I still got the best prize of all." Choutaro said as he squeezed Ryoma's hand lightly which made Ryoma blushed and look away.

"Mada mada dane…" he said and just looked straight ahead.

Though he didn't need to say it, Ryoma was glad that it was Choutaro he was with.
