CHAPTER 1
Ingredients (Part 1)
"Finally!" whispered Sakuno.
Sakuno Ryuuzaki was sitting under a tree. After running away from all of the guys in school, she finally found a place where she could rest
Guys were chasing her, as well as asking her out, but the only thing she could do is apologize, and turn them all down. For short, she dumped every one of them. And all this started happening since Ryoma Echizen went to attend the U.S. open. For her, this kind of situation became her routine. Being asked out, apologizing, hiding and resting, and then thoughts about Ryoma flows into her head.
She was also thinking if Ryoma was surrounded by girls as well. Of course he is, but she knew that he would be irritated and turn them down flatly.
This time she was 15, and she really has grown beautiful. Yet there are things that has never changed; she's still a clumsy person; she still has those braids and hair, still 'too long'. But these were her assets.
Yes, it has been three years, since Ryoma Echizen went to America, and Sakuno was missing him. Not only Sakuno, but all of the girls inside the campus, actually.
Yes, she waited for him, no doubt about it, but she was just denying it to herself the fact that she is over Ryoma.
She has been thinking for a while now, until her loud-mouthed best friend interrupted her, by screaming her name.
"Sakuno-chan! Sakuno –chan!" Tomoka Osakada had never changed, except her pigtails. They were transformed into a single ponytail, and also, she became taller.
"To-Tomo-chan, please, don't scare me like that." Sakuno felt her heart jumped.
"Gomen-ne, Sakuno, but I really got some good news from Momochan-senpai!"
Tomoka squealed, while Sakuno sweat dropped.
"What is it, Tomo-chan? Another tournament of Ryoma-kun to be watched?"
"Wrong! A bigger, and better one…He's coming back, Sakuno! Ryoma-sama's coming back!" Tomoko hugged the dumb founded Sakuno.
"Wha- what?" Sakuno's eyes widened. She didn't know what to say.
"You heard me Sakuno, He's staying here! Ryoma –sama's staying here! Tomorrow's Saturday and we can be with the Senpais and meet Ryoma –sama at the airport. We'll be there by two o'clock pm, sharp!"
"Wh-why?"
"Don't you like it? He's going to stay. He'll never go away again! He has finished all of the said tournaments in America. And this is the time, Sakuno… the time to get his heart set for you!"
Tomoka smiled.
"To-Tomo-chan, you're exaggerating a little, he's not m-mine" Sakuno sweat-dropped again. She also blushed, but she felt something in her that hurt.
"Oh, no, but he will be… soon" Tomoka smirked and grabbed Sakuno's wrist. Then, they went running to their next class, hearing the school bell ring.
Sakuno smiled.
"Hey, Ryoma," called the blonde guy who was wearing sunglasses as his hair band, sitting beside a raven-haired guy, with a Fila-branded white cap.
"Hn."
"Are you really going back to Japan?" Kevin asked.
"Hn." Ryoma retorted.
Ryoma Echizen was about to take a sip from his Ponta when Kevin suddenly asked Ryoma a ridiculous question, ridiculous enough to make him glare at Kevin.
"Can I come?" He asked, again.
"No way."
The two were just playing at the courts, after all the stress they had from a previous exam. They were seated at a bench, resting. After all, they're tired.
"Why can't I? I just want to see Ms. Poor Girl, who is being ignored by her Prince, but still keeps on sending you letters, just to find out if you're okay. And here is the Prince, who ignores those heart-filled letters, doing nothing, but play tennis" mocked Kevin.
"Shut up." Ryoma took a sip from his drink, leaning on the grills behind him.
"Make me." He smirked and took his racket beside him. Ryoma finished his Ponta and also made a move.
After the long match, they both decided to go to the café, nearby. Ryoma proceeded to the vending machine outside, to get some Ponta, while Kevin ordered a cup of cappuccino inside.
They sat down. Kevin opened his mouth to speak, but they suddenly heard some 'kyaaa!' and 'OMG! They're sooo handsome!' from the girls inside the café. They tried to ignore their squeals but they're just so damn noisy.
Ryoma just kept quiet, and stared at his Ponta. He was thinking deeply. And Kevin, well, he didn't mind all the girls taking his and Ryoma's pictures. Thirty minutes had passed, and, still, girls where everywhere. Finally, Ryoma got irritated. He glared at them, and voila, they shooed away.
Kevin sucked in his breath, and sighed.
"Ryoma, can I come with you? Seriously." Kevin asked for the second time.
"No." Ryoma rejected him for the second time, too.
"Why not?" He whined.
"You know yourself."
"Why? Is there a problem with me?"
"Yeah, attitude problem."
"Eh…What?"
"You'll cause a big commotion if you meet my senpai-tachis, you might get along with them well."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hn… Nothing…" Ryoma adjusted his cap, hiding his eyes.
"You don't want me to see your girlfriend?" Kevin smirked.
"I have no girlfriend" He was pissed off.
"Aw, c'mon Ryoma, who's the girl sending you those letters? Huh? Huh?" Kevin's smirk transformed into a nice, wide grin.
"A friend… I think… dunno, forgot her name."
"Hmmm… you forgot her name? Then, you probably have forgotten her… So, does it mean that I can be her friend, a chance, maybe?"
Upon hearing this, Ryoma's eyes widened under his cap.
~Silence~
After about an hour or so, Ryoma, eventually, broke the deafening silence.
"Fine, you can come with me, either way, you also took the last grading exams and you've probably bought some tickets for yourself…and yeah, were leaving today." He glared at Kevin.
"Sure." Kevin muttered 'I got the power' and started whistling, exiting the café.
Ryoma just sighed, appreciating himself for having great tolerance.
It was their self-study time, since the teachers had their meeting with the Principal.
"Ne, Sakuno."
"Yes, Tomo-chan?"
"Our fan-club planned something for Ryoma-sama...It's a surprise 'something' that the other girls in school helped us with." She smiled.
"Eh? What is it, Tomo-chan? Is it some kind of bet? Gambling for Ryoma-kun?"
"Of course, not, Sa-chan! I would never do such thing for Ryoma-sama" Tomoka pouted.
Sakuno chuckled.
"Then,is it some kind of… uh, party?"
She gave Sakuno a big wide grin.
"Bingo, Sa-chan"
Hearing that from her friend made her eyes widen in astonishment.
~Ryoma and Kevin on the plane~
After hours of travel, everyone had already fallen asleep. Many things had happened to Kevin, and, of course, Ryoma, during the trip. Girls kept giggling, and staring at them. Nanjiroh called Ryoma. Kevin was actually hitting on the stewardess, and, …phew, Ryoma really isn't into remembering them all.
It was stridently quiet the moment Ryoma woke up. He got up to grab some Ponta from his bag. But when he did, he accidentally pulled out a stack of envelopes, also known as the ignored letters, sent by Ryuuzaki. He decided to read them, basically, because he was bored, and, mostly, because Kevin was asleep.
(those letters were sent to him after his matches but he never reads it)
Sooner or later, Kevin woke up. And as he did, the sight of a reading Ryoma Echizen welcomed him. He looked at the reading paraphernalia closely, and that's when he noticed what it was. It was those heartfelt letters sent by his admirer.
Seeing what he was doing made Kevin want to mock him. And he did. How? He sang.
"It's been about a year now, didn't see or heard from you, been missing you crazy how do you, how do you sleep?"
Ryoma was taken aback and folded the letter he was reading, via reflex action. This made Kevin chuckle. And he continued to sing, in order to annoy his buddy more.
"About the letter you wrote me, still smells just like you, damn those sweet memories, how do you, how do you-"
And it worked.
"Just sleep, blondie." Ryoma lowered his cap to hide his blushing face, even though he was soo pissed off with the blonde guy. He, then, kept the letters and opened his Ponta.
Kevin glanced at the window, and all he saw were dark clouds.
'It's obvious that you've missed someone in Japan. And I'm going to make sure you'll be busted.' Kevin thought, smirking evilly.
The 'busted' there means to find out or something like that...^.^
Please at least leave a review so that I know if my first POT Fic really works for me^.^
Arigatou Gozaimashita!
*the song that Kevin sang was "how do you sleep" by Jesse Mcartney (Is that the spelling of his name?)
