Chapter 1: Remind

It's been 10 months and Sakuno now having her 1st month of summer vacation. Sakuno really appreciated the beach in their rest house. The blue ocean that calmly touching the shore and the fresh breeze that feels she's reborn. Sakuno never enjoyed her life this past months but she start enjoying it because of her sempais and friends.

"Sakuno, there's a phone call for you?" grandma yelled from the first floor.

A phone call…? Tomo-chan never texted me so maybe she wants to say something. "Hai."

"Hello! Sakuno's speaking."

"Hi. It's me momoshiro."

"S-sempai? H-hi. W-why do y-you c-call m-me?" Sakuno asked. Sakuno was confused why would momo-sempai called her? It's late already.

"I just want to asked you if you can come to our practice tomorrow? After all, you are coach Ryuuzaki's grand daughter." momo-sempai asked.

"I-I am now in our rest house. I-I never said n-no to you sempai b-but momo-sempai, w-what will I d-do there? I'm not that r-reliable in your t-team and I-I am not a s-seigaku regular." Sakuno said trying to convinced him that she's just the clumsy girl they known for so long.

"Hey! Sakuno didn't want to come. Sorry for be unsuccessful to convince her." Momo yelled in the other side of the phone. "Why don't you think again?"

Failing to convince me? Is there someone who wants me to be in the practice session? Out of the blue, Sakuno-chan saw the calendar in front of their phone and there is a mark of red in the date tomorrow. OMG! It's eiji-sempai's birthday and I promised to him that I will come to his birthday. How can I forget? I'm really a baka.

..Flashback..

It's been 3 months, after he left for America. He never told me he have flight and abscond with out saying a word.

"Sakuno-chan, you're here again?" Eiji-sempai said covering the light of the sun that is setting.

"S-sempai…h-Hai." Sakuno said. I never thought that his here at this time. Sakuno blushed.

"You missed him that much, Sakuno-chan?" Eiji-sempai asked with a concern look but not just a concern look of friend.

What should I say? He's right I miss that guy but he said to others that he is going to America…for good. I want to see him again but that's useless because he will never comeback. Why can't I deal with the truth? "I-I'm fine. Arigato, Eiji-sempai." Sakuno replied with her smile in her face. Make face again… makes me feel guilt to Eiji-sempai.

"Let's go walk together." Eiji-sempai asked. He was never been convinced to Sakuno smiling while a tear was going to fall in her eyes. "Why don't you try to find another guy that you will love rather than crying for a baka like him? Your still young and many guys love you after all you're cute and many guy love cute girls" Eiji-sempai said. What does I just said? She may notice it… that I like her. I should had shout my mouth and be a sempai to her but…I want her to know that I have this feelings since the time she become close to me in …

He was stopped with Sakuno's voice.

"M-maybe your right... After all, he will never comeback." Sakuno answered.

"Nya…That's not what I meant…" I need to change the topic or she will cry. That's the hardest thing that can stub my heart that I say something that will make her cry. "Hey, Sakuno-chan, can you come to my birthday?" Eiji asked. I want to celebrate my birthday in being a tennis player for the last time. I want to see her be happy and be with me for the longest time I can for I can't own her now…or maybe…

"y-your B-birthday? But I'm not that…" she said trying to get the reason why the topic changes all of a sudden.

"Please! You are the best gift I can have in my birthday…I mean…I-if y-you come… my birthday would be c-complete. Sakuno-chan can you grant my wish?" eiji-sempai asked. Nyah…that's close.

"H-hai,sempai" Sakuno-chan answered. Sakuno blushed because of a sudden change of tone of Eiji. She was never treated that way by other sempais.

She's cute whenever she blushed…that cheek of her I want to hold that with my own palm. Her eyes that melt and make s me explode inside and burst to tell her what I felt inside but I need to hold back to keep her with me…forever ."So that's a promise, huh. If you broke that I will never let you sleep well. Ah my birthday is on June 19. (I just put this date…it's not eiji's birthday in the real anime). Oh…here you are. Bye." Eiji said turning his head to the other direction.

"B-bye. T-take care." Sakuno said.

After hearing that, he hides his face in his bangs and made a grin.

end of flashback…

"Momo-sempai…is eiji-sempai with you? I want to asked if that practice session is not a practice but a birthday party?" Sakuno asked.

"So you already know, Sakuno-chan. Yeah, its eiji-sempai's birthday party." Momoshiro–sempai said without hesitation. "So Sakuno-chan,you really don't want to come?"

"M-Momo-sempai…I-I w- will be there t-tomorrow afternoon." Sakuno answered.

"So see you tomorrow. Bye." Momo-sempai said but before he put down the telephone.

"Sempai, is Kikumaru-sempai with you? I-I just want to t-talked to him." Sakuno said.

After a minute.

"Kikumaru's speaking." Eiji answered. Now…Eiji don't stutter.

"E-Eiji-sempai…w-what gift d-do you want i-if ever I-I failed to come? I-It's far to Tokyo w-where I am now." Sakuno stuttered while talking to eiji.

"…Just you… being with me tomorrow is enough…it's been two weeks I don't heard anything about you and you will give me an excuse and a present. I want you to be there after all…i…miss..you…so much…" eiji said blushing in the other line and said the 5 words shyly. I am such a idiot to tell her this things but after all we have been dating for about 7 months and she already know how I felt for her but her feelings for me is still a mystery for me..

While eiji is talking in the phone Momoshiro noticed his sudden change in tone and his eager to talked to the girl in the other line

"Kikumaru-sempai is matured enough if I looked at him now, don't you think Oishi-sempai?" Momoshiro asked his sempai that is mostly looking at the practice session and not taking notice of Eiji at all.

"Yeah. He changed whenever Sakuno-chan is near and he seems light up whenever his with her. Eiji was really serious this time." Oishi replied taking a glance at eiji's face that is happy even if his tone in the phone is a bit mad. He knows Eiji for so long still he doesn't know why he acted like Fuji or some straight and serious guy in the regulars.

"Okay for you…I will…try. B-bye." Sakuno said and put down the telephone.

"I will wait for you…" Eiji said in his mind.

The phone was now down. Eiji returned where the two people was sitting and chat about something. Momoshiro see him and was finished talking to Sakuno-chan.

"Eiji-sempai, where do you plan your birthday party? It's boring if you choose the school and it's to ordinary if you choose sushi shop of Taka-sempai." Momoshiro suggested after Eiji left the phone area.

"I planned it in the near resort in south district." Eiji answered.

"Resort! Cool! Your always the same sempai I know." Momo said blissfully. "I should tell it to the other members. They will be excited about the idea."

Sakuno go to the kitchen and asked permission to her grandma but before she can ask a thing her grandma stopped her.

"I heard all the talking and its Kikumaru's birthday tomorrow, right?" Sumire said looking at the plates she's washing.

"Y-yeah it's his birthday and he expected me to go to his party." Sakuno explained. She slightly bowed her head to prevent anymore embarrassment coming from her obaa-san.

"That guy really taking things seriously. Sakuno-chan, you should not let him disappoint this time, because you always do that to him." Obaa-san said to her granddaughter giving a smirked to her face while her grand daughter is confused.

Do I really disappoint him…that much?

"And I'm thankful to him because he made you happy these past few months. You're now smiling, right? Tell me is it because of Kikumaru?" her grandma said with grin.

Is it really because of Kikumaru? Does he change me to different Sakuno? I think he really change me…he does.

Silence occurred and she was allowed.

The next day…

"I'm going." Sakuno said going out putting her umbrella in her bag. Don't tell me it's going to rain but I'm not worried I have my umbrella with me.

After traveling for 4 hours, she already reached Seigaku. She was late for about 1 and half. She immediately went to the tennis court and found no one in the court even in the locker until she saw an image of a man in the bench soaking wet. She immediately ran to the man for her gentleness came to action and starts to cover him with her umbrella.

"h-Hey…a-are you alright? W-we need to go to a p-place so that y-you will not soak in the r-rain more." Sakuno said concerned to the guy she thought was wet for how many hours. She looked around and found a little shed not far from them. "T-There. C-come on let's walk…t-that's not f-far from here if I-I don't b-bother you, sempai."

"Sakuno…" the guy said facing her.

"How do you know…Eiji-sempai… w-why are you h-here?" Sakuno said shocked distinguish that it is Eiji, himself but she was cut off by his gaze when before she can asked another question..

"I thought you will never come…so I waited until you arrive because I know and I trusted your words to me." Eiji said and suddenly hugged Sakuno that made her blushed and dropped the umbrella and be wet with the rain. "I really miss you that I can't wait to see you. I'm sorry for being so emotional. I could not hold back my feelings for you…Sakuno" Eiji said hugging her more firmly.

"I'm sorry for having you stay in the rain for me that much…" Sakuno said hugging Eiji. I feel comfortable with his arms. "I miss you too, Eiji-sempai."
