Chapter ONE: Wonders

"Have you seen the new video for 'Dance With Me' by Choclat? They look so hot!"

"Yea? Well they can't beat Laydee May. Her hips can move!"

"Really now? Gotta' check her out. Dude have you seen the 'Goodbye For Now' concert Zero Temptation put on for their lead singer? That was sad! Even the drummer was crying- and you can't see face half the time!"

"Oh yea! I went to see it live, You should've seen the people! the candles and stuff. Some fangirls started to climb on stage too!"

"Wow really? But you know what sucks? The lead left Zero Temptation to pursue a solo career!"

"Yea well that's not worse than the band Killer Mistake! The lead left a few months ago and is now nowhere to be found!"

"I know! But now they replaced her with-"

"Will you two shut up?" the voice of Echizen Ryoma stopped the chatter of the two in front of him. The two girls squeaked before muttering a ' Sorry Ryoma- Sama', the two started to whisper quietly.

Ryoma sighed. His homeroom teacher was already late 15 minutes before rushing in with his hair uncomb and tie loose. One can only wonder what that man was doing. Ryoma glance out at the tennis courts.

He would kill to be there right now.

With his crimson racket, hitting the neon ball back and forth. Back and forth. Ah! Sweet heaven was waiting for him and yet he was trapped here listening to his teacher babble on and on about something other than tennis.

The bell rang. Ryoma walked out of the room and reported to English class. Oh sweet sleep here he comes!

Finally the time of day he had so patiently waited for.

"15- Love!" Fuji shouted. His senpai was keeping score of his game with Momoshiro. Momo hit the ball to the right only to have it countered with a backhand that sent the ball back over the net.

"Mada mada dane, Momo-senpai."

"Ha! That was an easy return and you know it."

"Hn."

"Watch this!" At that moment, Momo hit a powerball aiming it to right again. Only this time Echizen couldn't counter it letting it hit the net when his attempt of returning it back to his senpai.

"15- 15!" Fuji said again.

"Ah, lucky." Momo grinned at his kohai. Echizen just got back and waited Momo to serve.

"Hurry up, Momo-senpai."

After a close game of 6-5, Ryoma won, like always. Of course with his loud cheerleader behind, praise Lord Almighty, and only behind the fence. She seriously got to learn to stop screaming like there is no tomorrow.

Tomoka ran over and congratulated him on his victory. He of course added his two cents.

"Mada mada dane. It's just Momo- senpai." That earned him a satified angry scream of 'hey!' from said senpai. Horio also came over to grace them with his four years of tennis experience.

Yes you heard right. Four years.

Ryoma was currently 16 years old and attending Seigaku High. And of course, was on the tennis team with most of his old senpais.

Except for Taka-san. He had stopped playing tennis and currently working on improving his sushi skills. He stills come to their games and host their victory parties though. Good old Taka-san.

Still after some four years, they were still friends and everyone was still there.

However they were missing someone though. Not a tennis player. Just someone along the lines of wobbly hips, horrible tennis skills and makes awesome bentos? Oh and ridiculously long hair? Ring a bell?

Yup. That was her. The coach's grandaughter. Ryuzaki... What's her name again? Oh right! Sakura! Wait, that doesn't sound right.

Sakurako? Nope.

Sakuna? ..Hmm seems close.

Sakuno? Oh right!

Ryuzaki Sakuno. That was it!

Well anyway, after Ryoma had gotten back from the U.S open she suddenly disappeared. Really! She wasn't at any of his games.

When he asked his loud as hell cheerleader, all she got was that she moved to live with her father.

In France.

So there you have it. Nothing special.

And what are you thinking? He, Echizen Ryoma, missed Ryuzaki Sakuno?

Nope. Not at all.

He didn't notice she was gone until he got back to school. Really. You can ask his loud cheerleader. She's a witness.

Either way, Ryuzaki wouldn't come back anyway.

Right?

It was long since school ended. She knew.

Taking a step out of her car, (She was in the backseat.) she moved toward the gate.

Touching the rusting gate brought back memories. Many beautiful memories. It stood, locked, allowing her to go any further than she had gone.

Seishun Gakuen.

She mouthed, reading the engravement on the right side of the gate.

She toke off her Chanel shades and revealed dull and saddened brown eyes. Maybe it was a bad idea to come back. But she really can't stand going back to that place. Back to..

"Sakuno, you still need to unpack." Her grandma called.

Sakuno stepped away from the gate and towards the car. "Hai, obba-chan."

TBC...
