April Showers
Ryuzaki Sakuno couldn't believe it.
Her long time friend and crush, Echizen Ryoma, had agreed to go out with someone else. The seventeen-year-old felt almost betrayed. The past five years had been almost like a contract… a promise. Both she and Ryoma had never spoken of their obvious love towards each other though it had been so easy to see.
At first, both had been too shy and stubborn to admit it, and well, they still were. But they both knew about it, and they both, in their head, had agreed to ask the other out when they were ready.
But they had never been ready. Or at least, gotten over their stubbornness. They weren't so shy around each other anymore; in fact, she was his best girl friend and he was her best boy friend. Not in a romantic way.
Sure, there had been times when they had almost gotten to the point of admitting their love. They had kissed once, on a dare. Or just Ryoma wanted his sempais to stop pestering him. It was kind of sweet. He had leaned in at the same time as her and they ended banging noses. When he asked if she was alright (while all the sempais laughed their heads off), she had nodded, blushing furiously. But before she had finished saying yes, he had leaned in and kissed her. The room had became silent but he kept his lips in place.
That was just once… two and a half years ago.
But really, like that was going to happen again.
Sakuno looked up at the ceiling and sighed. Oh Ryoma-kun, what are you doing? I thought you liked me… not her. She looked over at Ryoma sitting on his desk with his new girl standing next to him, laughing at something he had just said. Sakuno couldn't help but feel jealous.
The girl deep red head shoulder hair that had a light blue hair clip on the right side holding back her growing bangs. She had light blue eyes that seemed to shimmer with their own light. Her giggle was as light as air and she had a thin body a lot less fragile then
"Sakunoo-channn!!" Tomo had arrived. Ryoma quickly turned at the sound of Sakuno's name, apparently unaware that she had been sitting near the window the whole time. She felt sad he hadn't even noticed her presence. Was he too engrossed with his new girl? Did he forget about her that quickly? Damn him… She thought angrily, but then covered her mouth in shock at the incredibly mean thought. Ryoma was able to bring out the true Sakuno.
"Hey Tomo-chan," Sakuno smiled.
Tomo smiled back but then stopped when she saw the way Sakuno's face just fell. Tomo looked around and when her eyes spotted the prince of tennis with another girl. Tomo's self control blew. Her face got bright red her eyes turned bright yellow and steam flew out of her head.
"RYOMA-SAMA!!"
"Wha--" Ryoma jerked his head in Tomo's direction, obviously caught off guard.
Tomo walked to him haughtily and grabbed his arm. "Excuse me," she said rudely to the girl who was shocked beyond belief. "Echizen-san, come with me NOW."
Ryoma raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "Let go." Only Sakuno could man-handle him like that. Wait, what? In his pause, Tomo pulled him outside.
"What are you doing, Echizen Ryoma?" she said, pissed.
"I don--"
"Don't you dare play dumb! What are you doing with that girl?"
"By 'that girl', you mean Ran-chan??"
"YES! I'm just warning you! Bad things will happen if you don't kick your ass back into to order!!" Tomo said her eyes shinning even brighter.
Tomo turned to go back into the classroom, but turned to look at him. "Oh and not by me," she then turned and disappeared back into the class room. When Ryoma walked back in he noticed that none of his fan girls even flinched as he walked into the room.
Tomo must have told them already. Ran walked slowly toward him with a questioning look. Once they were out of the room for their next period Ran finally found the time to ask him what had happened.
"So??"
"So, what??" Ryoma asked as they walked.
"What did she want and why has everyone changed all of a sudden??"
"Che." Ryoma said as he ducked into his next class.
Ryoma dodged Ran's questions for most of the day. It was now lunch and trying to avoid his pestering sempais Ryoma disappeared to the roof. He was surprised to find a girl up there.
She sat in a Seigaku uniform, but Ryoma was sure he had never seen her before. She sat both legs to one side. She had long dark brown hair that fell like a waterfall down her back and landed on the cement roof. When the wind kicked up the waterfall came a live. Whipping left and right, but she only shifted it back behind her ear after the wind had passed.
Ryoma slowly opened the door and walked out onto the roof, pulling his cap's bill down to cover the light blush. He set his bag down and then flopped onto the cement startling the girl. He head whipped around sending her hair flying around.
Her rust colored eyes were filled with shock as she looked into the deep cat-like amber eyes that looked back at her. Sakuno quickly pulled her hair apart and began to braid it with supper fast speed. Ryoma stood again and grabbed her wrist.
"You look better with it down." he said looking into her panicked eyes once again.
"Nyah? I thought you thought my long hair was to trouble some??" Sakuno said haughtily.
"Che." Ryoma said as he walked back to his bag.
But before letting go of her wrist he look the hair ties from her wrist. Sakuno finished the braid when she saw that he had taken them,. She stood and walked back to the prince of tennis, who at this moment was lying on the ground.
"Ryoma-kun...my I have my.." But Sakuno was cut off as the door swung open to reveal Ran.
"Ryoma I have your bento. You left it at home, so I thought I would bring it to you. Momo-chan said you were up here so I came to find you…. Sorry did I interrupt??"
Sakuno sat there looking at the girl with a blush on her face. Sakuno snapped out of her trance and pulled her hair ties out of Ryoma's hands. Sakuno then stood up and grabbed her bento and then looked at the two.
Ran was now next to Ryoma trying to make him eat, but Ryoma kept refusing. Sakuno had tears in her eyes as she dropped her bento and ran off the roof. Ryoma saw this and bolted after her. Ran sat dumbfounded on the roof, but soon she smiled and looked up into the sun.
"I guess he has grown up while he was here." She said with a smile as she laid down on the roof to sleep.
Meanwhile below her Sakuno was still running like mad. She ran through the lunch room with little notice until Momo and Eiji stood and tried to follow her. Sakuno didn't miss a beat, but Tomo and the other girls that like Sakuno stood and blocked the tennis regulars from pursuing her.
Ryoma saw the commotion and decided to take one of the other doors outside. By the time he was out he had utterly lost her. Ryoma wandered around until he saw a flash of dark brown hair catch the sun light. Ryoma was soon on her tail once again.
--Sakuno P.O.V--
She ran and ran she was deep into the tree line when she stopped. Sakuno was off the dirt path and had found her secret gazebo. As Sakuno stepped into it the dark clouds opened and the sky opened.
The gazebo was huge, but old. The roof was still strong enough to hold back the rain. Sakuno walked deeper into the gazebo. In the center there was a stone garden that these blue and amber flowers grew. Sakuno sat and fluffed her hair out of the half braid.
She bent and picked up a fallen steam. As she did the steam broke off. Sakuno felt sorry for the plant, but still tucked it behind her ear. The flower shined with the fresh dew on it. Sakuno stroked the plant, and as she did she remembered what had happened on the roof just a few minutes before.
The tears fell slowly at first and then they fell freely like the rain. Sakuno didn't here the person's foot steps that slushed through the mud and through the rain.
--Normal P.O.V--
Ryoma kept running and running and soon passed a strange gazebo, but a golden light of brown hair and turned around. There in the center of a huge gazebo she sat shaking like a leaf. He slowly stepped forward till he stepped out of the mud and into the gazebo.
His sudden noise made her jump and look at him. Her eyes were light pink which only made her look more like a princess in his eyes. She had a strange deep blue and amber flower that seemed to glow with its own light.
"Sakuno…." Ryoma said as he walked forward to hug her, but she dodged his arms.
"What do you want go hang out with your girl friend!!" Sakuno said as she stood and was about to run out of the gazebo but Ryoma caught her wrist.
"What are you and Tomo thinking today?? She…." but Ryoma was cut off by a HUGE gust of wind which blew his hat off.
Sakuno saw that the hat flew on top of the flowers, but something after that gust of wind was off. She looked up at Ryoma and saw him blushing. Sakuno blushed and looked at her feet. Ryoma lifted her chin and kissed her, but Sakuno was shocked and slapped him.
"WHAT is with you!! You have a girl friend!! I still…" But Sakuno stopped.
Ryoma watched as her eyes looked up at him and what he saw shocked him. Sakuno the sweet kind girl with the rust colored eyes, were now deep shining silver. Ryoma backed away from her and then remembered something Tomo had told him.
--Flashback--
"YES! I'm just warning you! Bad things will happen if you don't kick your ass back into to order!!" Tomo said her eyes shinning even brighter.
Tomo turned to go back into the classroom, but turned to look at him. "Oh and not by me," she then turned and disappeared back into the class room.
--End Flashback--
"Oh so that's what she meant. Oh Shit!!" Ryoma thought.
"No kidding it took you that long??" Complained Ryoma's inner.
"No…You're an ass!! A double crossing ass…You've know that I like you since the first time I met you so why must you ignore me?? YOU'RE A F BAKA!!" Sakuno said as she began to move forward and try clocking him with her fist.
But instead she scratched him across the cheek. Blood trickled out, but she still tried to kill him. Ryoma touched the scratch and looked back into the deep silver eyes of the girl.
"Wow this is a different Sakuno. I'm kind of scared of her."
"Left hook!! Oh that hurt." Called his inner and as Sakuno's fist made contact with Ryoma's stomach.
Ryoma spit and fell back on to his ass. Ryoma was now mad, he stood up and caught the fist that was about to make contact with his face. Ryoma saw her face darken and then tossed her other fist, which was caught as easily as the first.
"Will You LISTEN!!" Ryoma growled as he glared into Sakuno's eyes.
"WHY?? IT'S ALL LIES!!" Sakuno screamed.
As she did Ryoma kissed her again, this time not letting her slap him or kick him. Soon her eyes closed and Ryoma broke the kiss. He looked and saw he rust colored eyes open and look at him. They were brimming with tears and then the tears slowly fell once again.
"Sakuno-chan I don't have a girlfriend." Ryoma blurted out.
Sakuno's head was slanted as she looked at him with a huge question mark over her head.
"Then who is that red haired girl, Ran, to you then??" Sakuno asked as she looked up at him.
Ryoma lifted her chin and walked her to the railing and sat with her in her lap. Ryoma smirked and kissed her forehead, "No my princess, she's only my buggy cousin."
Sakuno felt so stupid that she closed her eyes and tried to bang her head against Ryoma's chest, but he stopped her. She looked up and he pointed to the sky. She looked to and saw that the rain had stopped just like all showers.
Ryoma stood with Sakuno still in his arms. Ryoma walk and picked up his hat and placed it gently in her head. Sakuno looked so cute with the white cap on her head and a blue and amber flower still behind her ear.
Ryoma and Sakuno walked hand in hand to the edge of the gazebo. Ryoma turned and picked her up into his arms. Ryoma carried her bridle style so she wouldn't get muddier then she already was. Sakuno giggled before allowing her prince to carry her back to the school.
"Sakuno…"
"Yes Ryoma-kun." Sakuno said as they walked.
"You can drop the suffix and also when ever you're angry with me can you come here??"
"Sure but why??"
"Cause this is our place where we can talk and make up, and so I know where to find you." Ryoma said.
"Hai," Sakuno said sleepily, "I would like that a lot."
As the two walked back Sakuno fell into a lights sleep while she listened to Ryoma's slow motions and steady heart beat. When they reached the school the final bell that released them from their hell hold rang. They passed the tennis courts and were mobbed by everyone. Like who wouldn't?? THE prince of tennis carrying shy, sweet, Sakuno in his arms after they weren't in the last three classes!! (I know that I would go running…unless I was in Sakuno's place. Any way!)
"WHERE were you two??" Momo yelled as he raced up after Eiji.
"Nyah Momo they're so KAWAII!!" Eiji squealed as he clung on to Momo's arm.
"Yeah…Yeah I know but its still my cousin." Momo said pulling Eiji off him.
Ryoma looked down at the bundle in his arm. She was still sleeping from her long day. Ryoma looked back up to see Sumire with a frown on her face. Sumire walked forward and hit Momo and Eiji on top of their heads.
"Both of you shut up!! My granddaughter is still sleeping. Ryoma dear take her inside my office."
Ryoma nodded and walked into the school. When he reached the room he found a small couch and tied his sleeping package on top of it. He pulled a chair and sat next to her and watched over her. After a while she began to stir, as Ryoma brushed the stray hairs from her face.
"MM?? R-Ryoma??" She whispered
"Yes??" He answered noticing the absent horrific.
"Oh good I thought I might have dreamt the whole thing."
"No my princess I'm here and I always will be."
"Promise?" she said as she sat up to look into his eyes.
"Forever and for always." Ryoma said as he leaned in and kissed her.
And that promise that day was never broken. And they lived happily ever after.
