The Rush

Kirihara's second spin through Regionals, and Nationals, as a captain this time. Drama, I-3

The pace of what Akaya couldn't help but think of as the real tournament season had two very different parts. There was the daily practice with his team, which, while demanding and sometimes intense, had a smooth swoop to it. And then there were the actual tournament matches, that sprinted along like a heartbeat after an adrenaline spike.

*commenting in school... again*

Momoshiro like Niou.... Hmm. were you aware that there's a mangapuri chapter in the Rikkai matches where Momoshiro is referred to in the same way as Niou? *at least, in the Chinese translations they use the same term to indicate trickster, etc.*

"It's really annoying that the High School and Junior High divisions have tournaments at the same time,"

Yes, we feel your pain, Kirihara. It's very nice to know and test your own strength, but there's also something to be said for watching such brilliant, shiny players like yours seniors trample almost everyone into the dirt. Through the power of the shiny. *excepting of course, those in other schools who are just as shiny, albeit in different ways*

*nods* "Kusemono" seems to be the word in Japanese. I think "rogue" is the closest thing in English, though that doesn't roll off the tongue, exactly.

*is all for the shiny, yes*

By the way, is Tennis Sanctuary or AS:River ever going to be continued? *is a certain someone else very fond of the shiny just watching, for now? Doesn't seem hir style, to just watch and do nothing.*

*not intending to stress anyone out, just wanting to know. A rough timeline lets me figure out how long to let my mind wander in other pastures before calling it back.

River will be. Tennis Sanctuary may be. As for when... haven't the faintest idea.
