[fanfic-drabbe] Prince of Tennis : No More Hesitation
Title: No More Hesitation
Series: Prince of Tennis
Character/Pairing: Sanada
Rating: G
For a second, Sanada’s arm froze. The shot went wide. He could hear the roar of the crowd, Seigaku’s elation. Returning to the baseline, he saw Akaya’s disbelief, Yanagi’s slight frown, and knew the Strategist had seen it too. Sanada rotated his wrist, bent his elbow, felt his muscles-- tested for any weakness. He felt none, but the shot held a different story. His form had been perfect until his…hesitation? No. He hadn’t hesitated; something else had halted his swing. Unbidden, the image of a collapsing Yukimura rose into his mind. Yanagi had mentioned weakness in Yukimura’s playing the week before his hospitalisation. But no, the doctor had told them it wasn’t contagious…
He looked across the court into the freshman’s cocky smile and heard Jackal murmur something to Niou. Comprehension dawned.
“He combined techniques?!”
