Fi~nally! *cuddles* You can already see the first glimmers of the MomoRyo - just the way they interact, and how they genuinely ~like~ being around one another.

And I can't help but love the Hiyoshi-Kaidou parallel. It's so appropriate, but you wouldn't think of it, unless you looked closer. Oh, and I assume that we will get to find out, sooner or later, what the bet between Inui and Fuji was all about. ^.^

Looking forward to more! (Here's to hoping Ryoma-buchou doesn't drive his players into the nearest mental asylum) ^_^;
