CHAPTER 1: Sakuno's Pain.
Sakuno Ryuuzaki's Point of View
I ran as far and as fast as I could. I wanted to get away from everything right now. Nothing felt right for me. Everything fell apart and I don't know what to do. I had no one left for me right now. I am now forever alone. Nobody seems to care and I couldn't take the pain anymore. Tears have been flowing down my cheeks after I had a talk with him. Him as in Ryoma Echizen, my former boyfriend since this morning.
Flashbaccccck!
"Sakuno." I heard my ever-handsome boyfriend, Ryoma. He approached me with his emotionless face.
"What is it, Ryoma-kun?"
He has been my boyfriend for the past year. I finally had the courage to confess to him and fortunately, he accepted my love for him.
"I'm going back to America."
With those words, I felt my whole world crash. I felt tears wanting to stream down my soft cheeks.
"Sakuno, I'm sorry."
"No. You don't need to say sorry, Ryoma-kun. I always knew this day would come."
"No. Not only for that."
"What do you mean?"
"You have done so much for me, Sakuno. I didn't return your love the way you wanted me to. I made you wait for years and all I ever did to you while we're together was be on your side and appear as your boyfriend."
His speech is very painful. Is he saying he never did love me? I'm now crying and I don't know how to stop it. Everything that is happening now is a nightmare. It felt like it will kill me. The man I loved for three whole years has told me he doesn't really have the same feeling as mine.
"I h-have to leave." I said quietly to him, turning back and walking past him. He didn't stop me and I felt my heart ache more.
I stopped at my tracks and said, "You never really loved me, right?"
"No."
How could I be stupid, thinking someone like Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prince, like someone like me, a nothing? I cried more because of my stupidity.
"I wish I noticed that earlier then maybe I'm not crying here right now." I said.
"I'm sorry, Sakuno."
"No, Ryoma! You could never ever earn my forgiveness, Echizen!"
I started walking then.
Stupid. I kept repeating those words in my head as I fastened my pace to somewhere I don't even know.
End of Flashbaccccck!
I finally stopped from running realizing I'm almost out of breath. I looked around to find myself in front of a very unfamiliar house. I started walking slowly. The rain has started to pour very hard.
'It seems like the sky is cooperating with my sadness' I thought to myself as I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes.
"Saa, Sakuno-chan what are you doing in the rain?" A familiar voice coming from behind me.
"F-Fuji-senpai?" I said to after turning around to meet his cerulean blue eyes.
"Have you been crying, Sakuno-chan?" The tensai asked when he noticed my red, puffy eyes.
"N-No, I w-wasn't." I denied, shaking my head to both sides.
"Saa, you aren't a very good liar, ne, Sakuno-chan?" He asked me, his eyes still closed but his face held an expression of worry.
"I'm not good enough to deserve his love, Fuji-senpai." I said, still crying, my face buried in my two hands.
"Come on, let's go in my house, Sakuno-chan."
Fuji-senpai brought me in the unfamiliar house I saw earlier. He sat me down comfortably in his couch and offered me something to drink.
"What happened, Sakuno-chan?"
"R-Ryoma-kun.." His name was all I could say.
"What did Echizen do, Sakuno-chan?" I now found his eyes open, seriously asking me about this one.
I told the older guy about what happened between me and Echizen. I could still feel tears run down my cheeks as I tell him the whole story about the break up.
"Saa, Sakuno-chan, stop crying now." The tennis prodigy said after I told him the break-up story.
I suddenly felt warm cover my body and I figured out that he was hugging me. I blushed upon feeling his warm body on mine.
"Fuji-senpai, I-I'm sorry for causing you t-trouble. I p-probably should leave now." I told him as I freed myself from his light grip.
"It's still pouring outside, Sakuno-chan. I can't let you go home with the heavy rain. If you get sick, no one would take care of you. I insist if you stay for the night, Sakuno-chan. I have a vacant room for my guests." I heard his offer of making me stay for the night.
"N-Nani? It would be troublesome for you, Fuji-senpai."
"Iie, Sakuno-chan. Its okay." He gave me his trademark smile.
"Arigatou Gozaimasu, Fuji-senpai." I faked a smile at him, hoping he wouldn't notice the fakeness of my smile.
"You're welcome, Sakuno-chan. You're still wet. I think it would be better if you borrow one of my clothes, Sakuno-chan." Fuji-senpai told me.
I nodded to him and followed him so I could get the clothes he will let me borrow.
After I changed to Fuji-senpai's clothes, I headed towards the living room where he watches the television.
"I'm done changing, Fuji-senpai."
"Saa, my clothes fit you, Sakuno-chan." The tennis genius teased me which earned him a blush.
"Mou, stop teasing me, Fuji-senpai." I pleaded.
"I'll stop, I'll stop." He chuckled.
"Ne, Fuji-senpa, do you mind if I make us a tea?"
He nodded and I departed going towards the kitchen.
I prepared all the needs for the tea. I placed the water on a kettle and boiled it. I readied the tea and also the cup. The water soon boiled and I poured it on the cup. I was about to carry it to Fuji-senpai when I felt my head become light. I fell to darkness afterwards.
"Sakuno!" I heard Fuji-senpai call before I fell to complete darkness.
Syuusuke Fuji's Point of View
I heard a thud in the kitchen and quickly ran to where she is. I know that it was Sakuno since we're the only two one in this house.
"Sakuno!" I called her when I saw her lying on the floor, unconscious.
I heard no response from the auburn-haired girl. I carried her inside my room since it was the only room that has a heater and cooler. I placed her in my bed. I figured she'll have a fever since she was in the rain for awhile.
I sighed at the sight of the young Ryuuzaki in front of him. This girl really is in need of someone to take care of her. I placed a damp cloth on her forehead, hoping it would bring her 38.5 degrees fever go down somehow.
'Echizen, you swore me that day that you wouldn't hurt her.' I thought as I remembered what he told me a few years back when they started dating.
Flashbacccccck!
Echizen and I were the only ones left inside their changing room. It gave me the chance to ask him about it.
"Echizen." I called out to my kohai he turned around to look at me with curiosity.
"Hai, senpai?"
"You're dating Ryuuzaki-chan, right?"
He nodded and looked at me with his cat-like eyes.
"You'll take care of her."
"I promise, senpai."
"You'll never hurt her."
"I promise, senpai."
"You won't leave her."
"I promise you all of these, senpai."
"Good."
End of Flashbaccccck!
I grunted under my breath as I placed my head between my hands. Sakuno Ryuuzaki is one special girl for me. And for Echizen to hurt her like this was just unforgivable. I revealed my eyes open and looked outside the window to think.
"M-Mou, my head hurts." I jerked my head towards Sakuno to find her trying to sit up.
"Saa, Sakuno-chan is not supposed to be sitting up. You're temperature is 38 degrees and you are still not allowed to walk around." I told the auburn-haired.
"M-Mou, F-Fuji-senpai, t-this is not the room you told me I'll stay in."
"You're in my room, Sakuno-chan."
"I-In y-your room! M-Mou, Fuji-senpai, y-your s-shirtless!"
"Saa, about that Sakuno-chan, I was feeling about hot." I said as rubbed the back of my head, smiling as the usual.
I saw her blush and it made me chuckle, "Are you okay now, Sakuno-chan?" I became serious.
"H-Hai, arigatou for taking care of me, Fuji-senpai."
"That's good. I'm also asking about you know, about him."
I saw Sakuno look down at her fiddling hands on her lap.
"You don't have to answer my question, Sakuno-chan. Its alright." I said as I patted her head.
"N-No. Its okay, Fuji-senpai. I realized that I shouldn't care anymore. H-He never really did care with me."
"Saa, Sakuno-chan, you loved Echizen. You can't help it."
"B-But h-he hurt me. Turned me down even when we're together."
"Sakuno-chan, did you know that I asked Echizen to swear to me that he'll never hurt you?"
"H-He never told me that."
"Do you know why I asked him to do that?"
I saw her curious look. I lifted her chin up and opened my eyes to reveal mine and glue it to her chocolate ones.
'This is it. I'm gonna tell her this.'
"I like you, Sakuno-chan. From the very beginning. And it never changed. Everytime I see you with Echizen, it slowly kills me inside." I saw Sakuno's eyes went wide in shock, "Look, if you don't return my feelings then its okay with me. As longs as you know what I feel for you."
"M-Mou, F-Fuji-senpai are you teasing me again?" Sakuno stuttered while trying to hide her red cheeks because of blushing so hard.
"I'm serious with this one, Sakuno-chan." I revealed my eyes once again, telling her that I am really serious.
