Yukino and Sora arrived at the tennis court really fast because of Sora dragging Yukino, and when they arrived everyone looked at them.
"Is that Her boyfriend?" Hayato's clique was interested especially Hina as she got to see Sora again up close.
Sora saw that Yui sprained her ankle, he whispered it to Yukino and she nodded.
Yukino came over to help Yui as they left the court while Sora approached Hachiman.
"Hey, I saw Yui was hurt so Me and Yukino rushed here" Hachiman nodded. "So what are you all playing for?"
"The right to use this court"
"What do you mean? This court? Or The whole tennis court?"
"The whole Tennis court" Hayato answered as he went near.
"But why?" Sora questioned both of them "Save it" As soon as Sora said that she saw Yukino come out with Yui, Yukino had changed her attire and was now wearing her gym clothes.
Yumiko approached Yukino and began an exchange of words with Yukino, Sora didn't bother listening as he was busy comparing Yukino and Yumiko.
'Although she has a small chest but'
Sora estimated Yukino's body and appreciated it as she was wearing stockings and a skirt which emphasised her thighs.
Yukino felt that something or someone was preying on her the whole time she talked with Yumiko on how she would beat her and that it was futile to win against her.
Yukino looked around at her surroundings and saw that Sora was staring at her.
'Pervert' Yukino mouthed at Sora who chuckled.
Sora wanted to replace Hachiman but decided he would just let it all play out the same way as he had another target in mind.
The Match continued with Yukino dominating the game while Sora went over to Yui who was sitting at a bench.
"You must be Yui-san" Sora stood in front of Yui who nodded.
"And you must be Sora-kun? Say are you really Yukinon's boyfriend?" She asked as she kept taking glances at the match.
"I wish" Sora scratched his cheek and sat beside Yui. "Can you let me check your sprained ankle?"
Yui didn't mind and gave it to Sora as she allowed him to treat her if he could.
"Here" Sora massaged her ankles all the while healing it in a under a minute. "It's done"
"Eh? It feels lighter somehow? Say are you a martial artist or some sort?" Yui was now curious of Sora's identity.
"No, I'm just a regular student like you" Sora then continued looking at the match and saw that Hachiman was getting ready to serve.
"Say Sora-kun"
"What is Yui-san?"
"Are you really not Yukinon's boyfriend? You keep staring at her" Yui pried further as it was unbelievable since the Yukino she knew was a bit cold and felt that Yukino was different than usual.
"Like I said I wished I was, but do you want me to be yours instead?" Sora tried teasing Yui who just chuckled.
"What benefits will I receive?" Yui stood up and felt lighter now that her ankle was a bit better.
"It depends, excuse me for a bit I have to go find Shizuka-nee"
"Take care Sora-kun" Yui felt weird that Sora just arrived and was about to leave which made him more mysterious in her eyes.
Sora slowly walked to towards Hayato's side of the court and waited for Yohsiteru to shout Hachiman's serve as it was the cue that Yumiko was about to crash, it was then
"The God of destruction in the sky : Meteor Strike!"
'It's just really a high launch? Well at least my days of screaming random phrases are over'
[ Ding! ]
'Fuck' He decided he would check on it later.
Sora followed the trajectory of the ball, he saw that Yumiko was also following after it not seeing she was going to crash on the fence.
Sora hastily arrived before Hayato could and caught Yumiko as she crashed into Sora's arms.
Yui covered her mouth with her hands, Hachiman felt a bit weird as he felt that Sora had just used him to get close to another girl, Yukino felt even more pissed than usual as she saw Sora save Yumiko, Hayato sighed in relief, while the rest of the Clique just stared at them especially Hina who was now drooling once more.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked Yumiko who closed her eyes.
"Mm, thank you" Yumiko nodded and stood up, when she saw Sora up close she couldn't deny that he really was handsome.
When Sora stood up he saw a tennis ball that was aiming for his face and easily caught it again, he saw that Yukino clicked her tongue in frustration again.
"My hand slipped" Yukino left and Yui followed her as she kept hugging Yukino.
"Excuse me" Sora said to Yumiko who had a faint blush as he gave her the tennis ball Yukino served.
"Mm" Yumiko waved Sora goodbye as he chased after Yukino. 'I wonder how it feels like to be chased instead of being the one chasing?' Yumiko told herself who looked at Hayato.
"See you around!" Hayato also bid Sora goodbye as he thought he was a good person now instead of a delinquent when he looked at Yumiko "Is there something wrong?"
"No" Yumiko said as she left with the rest
__________
Sora caught up with Yukino and Yui, Yui felt the atmosphere was strange and wanted to leave as she felt they needed to talk.
"No, don't" Yukino said to Yui as they entered the room to change their clothes leaving Sora outside who just sighed.
"Say Yukinon are you not really together with Sora-kun?" Yui asked as they changed into their clothes.
"No, like I said Yui, if you want him be my guest" Yukinon somehow felt bitter when she said that, but she didn't mind and thought that it was normal since she was pissed that Sora was hugging a girl earlier despite that he only did it to protect her from harm but still.
"I mean you two look really close especially the way Sora-kun kept staring like he's in love with you or something" Yukinon flinched while Yui took note of Yukino's reaction.
"That bastard is a playboy, he even has a rental girlfriend just for appearances" Yukino unconsciously told Yui one of Sora's secrets.
"Eh? So he's that type of guy that likes to be fake? So I guess he's just another pretender that likes to please people huh" Yui told Yukino what she thought as of this moment.
"No, he's a flirt I'll give him that but he's not a fake" Yukino told Yui as she had finished dressing
"He is a flirt, and he is definitely not a fake person who likes to keep up appearances" Before Yukino could say anything Yukino heard a familiar voice that pissed her off.
"What are you doing here Kasumigaoka-san?" Yukino asked her as she arrived
"I'm here to check up on Yui-san according to Hiratsuka-sensei's order, seeing she looks fine I'll take my leave" Utaha said as she left quickly as she arrived but before "If you actually research Sora's background you may know a thing or two why he acts like that"
Yui looked at Utaha who had left and Yukino who just stayed silent
"Did I say too much Yukinon?" Yui felt that she had judged Sora rashly even though he had just helped her a moment ago.
"No, don't think too much of it Yui if anything say what you feel and think like you said, that way it'd be easier for you to also express what you want to say."
"I see, I still think I want to apologize to him for bad mouthing him" Yui told Yukino who just nodded as they left.

"Like you said Yukino-san is pissed, what did you do?" Utaha told Sora who was waiting on the outside.
"Nothing" Sora just chuckled. "Speaking of what I did, here" Sora gave Utaha a list of illustrators and their works.
"What's this?"
"Feel free to choose and I'll contact the ones you like the most, unless you want me to be the illustrator then I'll accept if it means more time to spend with you" Utaha accepted the list and nodded.
"I dare you to say that in front of Yukino" Utaha tried to tease Sora.
"I even dared to say it in front of Shizu-nee" Utaha was confused and looked behind her to see a fuming Shizuka.
"You bastard! so you were after Utaha!"
"I'm after everyone!" Sora just laughed as Shizuka threw a punch and he just dodged it.
"Oh take this also, it a gift, I was inspired after reading your story and I decided to make one , I hope it helps you" Utaha again accepted the book Sora gave to her as Shizuka was chasing after him
"Your Lie on April" Utaha looked at the book and started to read it as she was intrigued.
