FIRST YEAR:
Where Do We Begin
LJ/
DW[Yukimura does his best to be unobtrusive when he enters Rikkaidai Junior School's Tennis Club.]
One Point Shy of Winning
LJ/
DW[Putting together a new team isn't going to be so simple.]
More Than Meets The Eye
LJ/
DW[There are many unspoken secrets - and not-secrets - lurking beneath the surface of the tennis club.]
(Lack of) Discretion
LJ/
DW["If you won't play a match against me you'll never know for certain who is better between us," Sanada says.]
Fealty
LJ/
DW[His club. Although he only thinks it to himself, Yukimura knows that even that is dangerous.]
Pre-Monarchy
LJ/
DW[Where now are kings and where/ are the men who passed this way before you?]
A Guise of Gentle Words
LJ/
DW[The troika plan to hang out.]
Two Kings
LJ/
DW["Now." Tezuka insists, and hangs up. He did not pick up the habit from Yukimura, it simply began with him.]
SECOND YEAR:
(Tennis-season)
Defeat
LJ/
DW[During their second year, when everyone but everyone is well aware of who they are and what their skill level is, and they are above a good amount of members age-wise, Yukimura feels he can finally be the captain he should be.]
Accept and Endure
LJ/
DW[Niou gets these feelings sometimes, a sort of aching like a dream forgotten on waking.]
Play and Be Played
LJ/
DW[Yukimura has this habit of leaving things unsaid; he is so used to seeing the meaning behind unspoken words that he forgets not everyone is as aware as he.]
Intuition, Analysis, Emotion
LJ/
DW[Later on, once practice is settled back into normalcy again and ended some time later, Yanagi can't help having regrets.]
Bring You to Your Knees
LJ/
DW["Until you're the best you can just do as you're told," Yukimura says with finality when he realises Kirihara isn't going to answer back this time. ]
Metamorphosis
LJ/
DW[What most people don't know is that Niou actually does need glasses. It's just that he prefers contact lenses for most everything, especially playing tennis.]
Intervention
LJ/
DW["Akaya, it's not polite to hog," Yukimura says absently as he follows, but looking around he notices nobody else is even in the carriage. "Oh, alright." ]
(Yukimura's collapse)
Abridged Part 1
LJ/
DW [Abridged Commentary
LJ/
DW]
[One thing he does not forsee in the scenario, however, are the first words out of Yukimura's mouth during his and Genichirou's fourth visit; the first in which Yukimura is not sleeping.]
Collapse
LJ/
DW["How can you be so calm?!" Sanada demands at Yukimura in his hospital bed. "You just collapsed!"]
Sick With Worry
LJ/
DW[Walking into a training session he has almost completely missed is one of the hardest things Sanada has ever had to do.]
Down the River Styx
LJ/
DW[The hospital is never silent, not even in the dead of night.]
We Gamble To Be Born Again
LJ/
DW[Yukimura pulls out a couple of dice from beneath his pillow.]
THIRD YEAR:
Jishin
LJ/
DW["We won!" Everyone except Sanada choruses. "Of course," Sanada then adds on. Yukimura nods and smiles.]
Resurrection
LJ/
DW[When he wakes up from a successful surgery, Yukimura is amazed to the point of laughter when his team burst into tears around him.]
Repetition
LJ/
DW[Same continuity as Resurrection, but not in first person this time. Yukimura isn't done talking things out with Sanada.]
