Halloween

It was a week before Halloween and the students at Seigaku High School were all buzzing with

excitement.

"What are you wearing to the Halloween Dance next Friday?"

"A princess, how about you?"

"A cat!"

Everywhere there were gossips of costumes and even dates. Many girls specifically wanted one of the regulars of the tennis team to take them to the dance.

"Ah! I hope Fuji ask me to the date!"

"No, Tezuka is the best!"

"No way! He is too stern. Eiji is the better date! He needs to take me!"

"Its Ryoma sama all the way!"

Ryuzaki Sakuno also wanted a certain tennis regular to be her data to the dance. However, she needed to get him to noticed her first. They talk regularly seeing as they were seatmates in class. However, he hasn't shown any girl interest at all. He rejects all the girls who ask him out. He refuses any love letters and gifts that they give him. Some say that he has one certain girl in mind, while others questions his sexuality.

Lost in thought, she didn't notice her best friend calling out to her.

"Sakuno!"

"Huh?" She looked behind her. "Tomo chan!" She exclaimed in shock.

"I have been calling your name for a while now!" Tomoka exclaimed. "You didn't answer me!"

"Sorry Tomo chan! Just lost in thought." She replied.

"Ah! Then have you decided on what to go as for the Halloween dance?" Tomoka questioned.

"No." Sakuno sighed. "I am still looking."

"You have to hurry up Sakuno! The dance is only a week away!" She shouted.

"Tomo chan! You don't have to be so loud! I know! I don't know what to go as. How about you?" She asked.

"I am going as an angel!" Tomoka shouted. "I hope Ryoma sama would be impressed and in awe with my costume!"

Sakuno looks down at her watch. "A-ah! Yea, I have to go now! Practice starts soon! See you later, Tomo chan!" She exclaimed as she hurry off to the women's female club.

"Ochibi! Are you going to the Halloween dance?" Eiji asked as he pounces on Ryoma.

"Yea. Who are you going with?" Momo joined in the fun.

Echizen Ryoma have grown over the past years. He was much taller than he was before. However,

despite the growth, he was still the shortest member of the regulars. He was still growing though.

"No. I am not going." He replied to his senpai tachi.

"Eh! Why not?" Eiji exclaimed in shock! "You should go! I am going as a cat! Meow!" He exclaimed.

"Eiji, calm down! You are getting too excited!" Oishi told his doubles partner.

"Ehh! Echizen, you need to go! Even Snake is going!" Momo said.

"What is that suppose to mean? Huh?" Kaidou said to Momo.

"It means that you are antisocial, Snake." Mom replied right back getting in his face.

"Guys, stop fighting." Kamamura said while getting right in the middle. However he was not having any luck calming the two down.

"Kamamura, here." Fuji said as he handed him a tennis racket.

"Burning!" Kamamura exclaimed and shouted right in Kaidou and Momo's face! "Who wants to fight?" He shouted to the sky.

"Not us!" Momo and Kaidou both said as they try to inch their way out.

"Fight me! Burning!" He shouted.

"Wait! Give me that!" Oishi exclaimed as he took the racket from his hand. "Fuji!"

"Sorry, sorry. I just wanted them to stop fighting." Fuji smiled.

"There was a 95% chance that Oishi was going to stepped in and stopped him, while a 80% percent

chance that Momo and Kaidou would stop fighting."

"Mana Mana Dane." Ryoma exclaimed, trying to leave while his senpai were distracted.

"Where you think you going?" Eiji shouted as he grabbed Echizen. "You still haven't said why you don't want to go to the dance!"

"Ah! It is because you are dateless!" Momo teased.

"Over 50 percent of first year girls have asked Echizen to go to the dance, but he refused. Over 40 percent of second years have asked him, still he refused. Roughly about 42% of third years have ask him to the dance, but he refused as well." Inui exclaimed while looking at his data.

"I don't feel like going." Ryoma replied with an uninterested look on his face.

Tezuka came out and started practice. Soon, practice was over. The regulars had then started to head to the clubroom, when Tezuka stopped them.

"From the coach, the tennis regulars must attend the Halloween Dance next Friday. That is all.

Dismissed." He said as he headed to talk to the coach.

Ryoma just groaned.

Day of the dance

"Tomo chan! Sorry for the wait!" Sakuno said as she reached Tomo chan. Both of them agreed to meet up together before they went to the dance.

"You look so cute, Sakuno!" Tomoka shouted.

"Thank you! You look really pretty, Tomo chan!" Sakuno replied with a smile. She really was glad that Tomoka liked her outfit. She personally loved her outfit and thought she looked pretty in it. She was hoping for a certain someone to notice though.

Tomoka was dressed in a white mini skirt, with a white crop top. She also had on white angels wings and white boots. She topped her outfit with a halo that attached to her wings.

Sakuno was wearing a corset style dress. Her strapless top was black with ruffles while her skirt was black with pink trims on it. She wore pink and black thigh knee stockings in a criss cross design. She wore black medium heel boots. She also wore black and pink criss cross design gloves that went from her wrist to her upper arms. She had a black cape tied with a pink bow around her neck. On top of her head was her witch hat with a pink bow on top. She also had a broom as her prop.

When they got there, both were amazed at the decorations. There were spider webs and bats hanging from the ceilings. There were dried fake blood on the floors and tables. There were also skeletons all over the places. The food was also in Halloween theme with blood fruit punch, and cupcakes in different designs relating to Halloween.

"Ryoma sama! He looks so good!" Tomoka shouted.

Sakuno was startled by her scream. She looked where Tomoka was pointing and saw Ryoma. She immediately blushed. He looks really good. Ryoma was dressed as a vampire. He was wearing a white button up with black pants. He had on a red bowtie. On top of it, he had on a black and red cape. He had also donned on vampire teeth.

"Wah! Ryuzaki chan!" A shout caught her attention then follow by a hug.

Sakuno was taken by surprise. Eiji had just grabbed her into a hug. "You look so cute!"

"T-thank you." She said. "You look nice too."

Eiji had dressed up like a black cat. He had put on some cat ears and a tail.

"Eiji, you're hugging too much." Oishi said. He was dressed up as Santa.

"Ah! Looking good, Ryuzaki." Momo said. He was dressed up as Frankenstein's monster.

"Yes. Really nice." Fuji nodded. He was dressed up in a prince.

"Thank you senpai tachi! You all look nice too!" She smiled at them.

"G-good evening, Ryoma kun!" She shyly said to him.

Ryoma just glanced her way and took a sip from his blood punch.

"T-that's a nice costume!" Sakuno told him.

"It's just a vampire, I didn't do much. My stupid dad forced me into it." He let out in annoyance at his stupid father.

"O-oh." She muttered.

The senpai tachi were all just thinking Echizen and shaking their heads.

"H-how do you think of my costume?" She asked bravely. She was hoping he likes it or thought it was nice.

"It's a witch, how can you mess up?" He questioned with a smirk.

Sakuno just pouted at him and got sad.

"Mada mada dane, Ryuzaki." He just smirked at her and then left to go get another drink.

The senpai tachi were all wondering how someone like Ryoma can be so clueless and mean. They saw the sad face on Sakuno's face. She looked like she was about to cry.

Eiji and Momo couldn't take it anymore and ran over to hit Ryoma.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Ryoma could be heard saying out loud.

Momo just hit him again.

"The probability of those two getting together is less than 15% due to Echizen's rudeness and insensitivity." Inui noted in his notebook. He was dressed as a mummy.

"How can Echizen be that mean? Poor Ryuzaki." Oishi said. "I hope she's okay. She looks so sad."

Fuji just looked between the two and said, "I got a plan."

Sakuno was feeling sad by Ryoma's comments. She spent a lot of time looking for an outfit and she really wanted him to say it was nice. Even when she tried to talk to him afterwards, she would be stopped by a fangirl or a classmate of his. The dance was not going as well as she hoped it would. She just sighed as she glances over at Ryoma talking to Momo and Eiji a few feet away.

Then all of a sudden, the lights of the dance went out. It was pitch dark. Screams and gasps could be heard throughout the room.

"Don't worry, it is just a blackout." A teacher called out. "It should be back in a few moments."

Sakuno tried to calm herself down. She hoped the lights come back soon. Then all of a sudden, she was grabbed from behind. She let out a gasp and a silent scream as she was taken away.

Soon, the lights came back on for a couple of moments. The power was on. The music started to play again.

"Eh, where's Sakuno?" Tomoka questioned as she looked around.

Ryoma noticed Tomoka looking around for someone. He quickly scan the room for Ryuzaki, but didn't see her.

"Osakada, did you check the bathrooms?" Oishi questioned her after she had asked them.

"No, let me go now." She said as she ran off.

"Hm, wait." Fuji pointed out. "What's that?" He pointed to the floor.

Ryoma looked where he pointed and saw an envelope. He picked it up and opened it.

The senpais and the freshmen trio all gathered around Ryoma and looked over his shoulder. Inside the envelope was a card that said:

If you wish to find the girl, you must find her before the witch's magic is gone. If you cannot, she will be forever lost. First clue: A place where second home and dreams are lived.

"Someone took Ryuzaki chan!" Eiji gasped out loud. "We got to find her!"

"Calm down. Let's solve the clue and find her." Fuji answered as he read the letter.

"Second home? What is that supposed to mean?" Momo questioned.

"Stupid, you don't know? It's the school." Kaidoh hissed at him. Momo turned and started to bickered at him.

"Ah, that makes sense!" Kawamura nodded. "We spend a lot of time here, even more compared to home!"

"What does dreams mean?" Kachiro questioned.

"How does that relates to school?" Horio wondered.

"AH!" Katsuo shouted. "How about the classroom? Ryoma kun likes to sleep there and is always dreaming." He tried explaining.

At once, Ryoma started to head out to the classroom.

"Ah! Did Ryoma sama get the letter?" Tomoka questioned as she popped out of nowhere.

Fuji only smirked. "Things are going as planned. Part 2 underway. You guys know what to do."

They all nodded. Tomoka walked off with the freshmen trio and Kaido towards the back of the school. The others then followed Ryoma, making sure he doesn't notice anything.

Meanwhile, Ryoma reached the classroom he shared with Sakuno. On top of his desk was another letter. He ripped it out and took out another letter that reads:

Ah, good job, but time is ticking. You better hurry if you wish to save the princess. Second clue: Countless of moments that occurred when weather is good. Food that smells great and tastes just as great. Perfect place for a nap.

Ryoma smirked. This was an easy one. He then rushed out of the classroom, not even noticing that the senpai tachi were just arriving. He was focused on his one goal.

Fuji smirked as he saw Ryoma rushed out of the classroom in a hurry. Things were going even better than he had hoped.

Ryoma reached the tree that he always napped in. A few times he and Sakuno with the rest of the freshmen trio had lunch together here. Sakuno would share some of her bento until she started to make one everyday for him.

He glances around and saw the letter stuck in the branch. He jumped to get it. Again, he ripped it out impatiently and reads it. It says:

Tick tock, tick tock. Tick tock. It's almost time for the witch's magic to ended. You best hurry up and find your princess. You're almost there. Next clue: A place where roles are reversed.

Ryoma wasn't sure what it meant. Roles are reversed. Whose roles? What roles?

"Did you get it?" Oishi asked him as the senpai all reached him.

He showed them the letter and all looked confused.

"What does that mean?" Momo questioned.

"I don't know." Ryoma said in annoyance. He had to hurry up before something bad was going to happened to Sakuno.

"Hmm, roles are reversed. So chances are, it is when she was better than you at something." Inui said. "You teach her tennis sometimes and is her teacher from middle school." He added while writing in his notebook.

Kawamura nudged Inui with his elbow. Inui was saying too much and was about to blow their cover.

"Ah! Home economics." Ryoma said, not noticing the obvious hint from Inui. Normally he would have noticed, but with the worry and stress he was under, it went right by his head.

Ryoma took off running towards the classroom.

"Ah, that was a close one!" Eiji sighed.

"Sorry, it would have been better if I said it, compared everyone else. I have data and if you guys had given him the hint, it would look even worst." Inui explained.

They nodded in agreement.

"But, wow. He must be really worried if he didn't notice." Kachiro said.

"Things are going well! It is almost over now!" Fuji nodded.

"You're having fun just watching him struggle." Eiji said.

Fuji just smiled at him.

Ryoma ran to the home economics room. Both had this class together under a strict teacher. He couldn't go to sleep or he would be sentenced to detention causing him to miss class and Tezuka buchou will make him run laps if he is late. Also, if he get like 3 detentions, he can fail the class, and have to retake it during the summer. No way is that happening. However, unlike tennis, cooking is not his forte.

Luckily for him, he had paired up with Sakuno, who really improved her cooking and became like a chef in the time he was away in America. Her cooking really improved and tasted really well, that he somehow convinced her to make him bentos everyday. Anyway, with his partner as Sakuno, he is passing the class with flying colors. She helped him on how to use a knife without cutting himself. One time during class, she was showing him how to cook sausages into little takos. Another time, she was showing him how to cut vegetables and basic prepping things such as washing vegetables and some peeling. Thus, he was in charge of cutting and basic prepping. However, there were times where she had to help him because he was too slow.

He entered the room and saw an envelope on the station where he and Sakuno usually are during class. He teared the envelope open and started to read it.

You're so close. Your fair princess is waiting for you at the place where both you two have a connection and spend a lot of time after school.

Ryoma smirked and then dashed full speed to the tennis courts. Both were on the tennis team, and Sakuno had really improved. She was on the varsity team after all her hard work and some tips from Ryoma. Her hair was still too long though and her knees were not bent as much as it should. However, he had to admit, she was pretty good comparing to middle school.

"He's coming your way right now. Let's start the end of the plan." Fuji smiled from the hallway. Ryoma had dashed right by him without realizing he was there. He also seem to forget all about the regulars and how they all of a sudden disappeared.

"Ryuzaki!" Ryoma shouted when he saw her on the tennis courts.

Sakuno turned towards him and questioned, "Ryoma kun?"

Then all of a sudden, a figure grabbed her arm and started to lead her away. Another three figures stepped out in front.

Ryoma, with his quick thinking, took his tennis racket and balls that was mysteriously right on the court and hit the figure with his tennis ball. When it hit the figure, they had let go of Sakuno. He then aimed a few more at the other three figures who all yelped in pain. They then all dashed, leaving Sakuno and Ryoma on the court by themselves.

Ryoma walked right up to Sakuno and asked, "Are you okay?"

"What are you talking about?" Sakuno asked him in confusion.

"Didn't you get kidnapped?" Ryoma started to questioned. Wasn't she in danger?

"No...why would you think that?" Sakuno continue to questioned him.

"I got these letters!" He showed them to her.

"Oh! You thought I was kidnapped?" Sakuno said. "No, Tomoka and the Fuji senpai asked me to wait at the tennis courts for them."

"Wait, what?" Ryoma questioned and then started to realizes the hints. Only someone who were in the same class of them would know about the home economic class. Also, Inui senpai was the one who gave him the idea of it. Where were his senpai anyway? They disappeared around the second letter.

He noticed some movement from the bushes and then aimed his tennis ball right at the bush.

"Oww!" Momo could be heard from the bush.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Eiji started to whine in pain.

The senpais came out of the bush before Ryoma started to hit them again.

"Ah, you caught us." Fuji smiled.

"Ah, young love though. You saw how fast he ran?" Momo exclaimed while rubbing his face. "Worth it to see him struggle!"

"That, according to data, was probably the fastest he ran outside of tennis. He doesn't even hurry when he is late to a meeting time." Inui chimed in.

"Right? He hits so hard." Horio shouted merging from the trees. Tomoka, Kachiro and Katsuo followed him out.

"Oww. I didn't think he would hit me too." Tomoka shouted as she rubbed her backside.

Ryoma started to realized that he was tricked and in anger, started to aim tennis balls at the senpais.

Sakuno then realized that the senpais plus Tomoka and the freshmen trio had set up this scheme, which caused Ryoma to rushed and panicked into saving her.

"Thank you for saving me." Sakuno told him.

Ryoma turned towards her and smirked. "Your outfit, not bad." He admitted.

"Ah! T-thank you!" She smiled and laughed as she watched Ryoma chased after the senpais, Tomoka and freshmen trio.

"Sakuno!" Tomoka shouted. "Help!"

"No way." Sakuno smiled. "I don't want to get hit."

"Nooo!" Tomoka shouted in response and continue to run.

Well, even though they were both tricked, Sakuno was actually glad. Thanks to her senpais, and friends, she was able to see Ryoma's efforts to save her and even got him to say something nice about her outfit.

"Ryuzaki, let's go." Ryoma called out to her as he grabbed her hand.

The senpais, getting tired of getting hit, grabbed their rackets and started to chase them.

One day, I tell him my feelings.
