When Sakura runs out of the room.

Sakura ran to the back of the place her uncles rented for the reunion. There she found the 8 people she was looking for.

"Gin Kun! Yuu Kun! Ryuu Kun! Inui Kun! Takato Kun! Kyou Kun! Hebi Kun! Hayate sempai!" She said. All eight of the turned around.

"Ohaiyo Sakura Chan!" Yuu said.

"Oh, Sakura you're finally here!" Gin yelled.

"Ohaiyo!" Everyone else said. Then all seven boys gathered around Sakura. Hayate stayed back and said,

"15 laps around the court." Gin and Ryuu turned around to complain.

"Why?" Gin asked. It looked like Gin was going to complain some more but Hayate shot him a look. Then, Gin immediately became quiet. Ryuu smiled and whispered to Gin,

"I think the captain wants to spend some alone time with Sakura."

"Ah I see." Gin said. He signaled to everyone else to start running. Everybody, except for Yuu and Inui, groaned. But they all started running. Sakura walked up to Hayate and said,

"Mou, I know you're the captain of the team but you should be nicer." Hayate just looked at Sakura and said,

"Fine. You can all run just 10 laps." Sakura glared at Hayate. He sighed and said,

"Fine 5 laps." Sakura smiled and said,

"That's better!" She and Hayate just looked at everybody else running. When everyone was done Inui Jr. said,

"Alright. Gin will play against Hebi. Ryuu and Kyou will play against Takato and Yuu. Hayate can play against Sakura."

"Eh! Why does Captain get to play with Sakura! This is unfair." Ryuu complained.

"Yeah. I um… also think it's unfair. I mean Sakura and Hayate almost always play against each oth-" Takato was saying but Gin handed him a tennis racket. "I MEAN THIS IS UNFAIR! I WANT TO PLAY AGAINST SAKURA! HOW COME HE HAS TO PLAY AGAINST HER!" Nobody was able to stop Takato. Everybody was arguing how unfair it was but then Sakura said,

"Please stop arguing. Let's just play how Inui wants us to." She seemed like she was close to tears so everybody immediately stopped their arguing. They just grumbled again and started playing their games.

5 minutes later

"What was that Mamushi?"

"Don't you dare call me by that name. You and your dad are exactly the same Saru!" Gin and Hebi were fighting so Hayate had to give them a glare to get them to be quiet. Gin won that much.

"According to my calculations out of all the matches you've played together it would be Gin:23 Hebi:22."

"Ha beat that!"

"Oh I will!" They both started wrestling each other. The doubles match was over. As usual Kyou and Ryuu won, but just barely.

"That was a hard win wasn't it Ryuu?" Kyou said.

"Eh? It was easy." Ryuu exclaimed. But everyone could see he was panting extremely hard and was really tired.

"Takato, it seems like you've gotten better." Yuu said.

"Yes. Well, a little bit." Takato answered. All four of them walked over to see Hayate's and Sakura's match.

The match was intense. Hayate had won but it was hard for both of them. If Sakura had been a boy there was no doubt that she could have won. But Sakura wasn't that strong.

"Good game Hayate sempai." Sakura said.

"Yes. Good game Sakura. I think you've improved." Sakura blushed and said,

"Yes father is teaching me a new serve called the twist serve. With the new serve I will for once beat you Hayate sempai."

"We'll see." Even though they were only in elementary school everybody knew that these eight kids were serious about tennis like their fathers.
