Warning: ...Gender bender? Unbelievable stuff? Maybe. OOC-ness for sure.
A/N: Crazy stuff I thought while daydreaming. I suddenly thought of Ginban Kaleidoscope one day and was watching this drama called 49 days and BAM came this idea. Well actually I thought of the idea first before I realized that it linked with those shows. I'll update Chaos in the Camp on Friday or Saturdays when I'm not busy and this story on Weekdays that I'm not busy. This is the longest author's note I did. Anyway RxR~
Ryoma's Boyfriend?
Chapter One: My name is Tsuda Kosuke
Ryuzaki Sakuno woke up early. She jumped off the bed with a fresh smile on her face. It's the first day of school as a high school freshman. She changed to her school uniform while humming a tune and once she's ready, she skipped all the way downstairs to eat her breakfast and ready her bento but not before greeting her grandmother a good morning.
While she's preparing her lunch, the doorbell rang and Sumire opened the door.
"Sakuno! Tomoka's here already. I'm heading to school now okay? Be careful on the way there." Sumire said as she let Tomoka in.
"Hai!" Sakuno answered and Sumire went out the door to head to Seigaku. Tomoka went to the kitchen to see Sakuno prepare her bento.
"It's kinda exciting right? The first day of high school life! I wonder if we're in the same class." Tomoka said as she leaned against the table.
"I wish we were. It's uncomfortable to be in a class with people you don't know." Sakuno sighed.
"It's okay! It's okay! I'll always visit you when it's break time if ever we're in different classes." Tomoka assured while heading to Sakuno to pat her back. Roughly. Sakuno just smiled at Tomoka, grateful for having her as a friend but sweatdropped as her pat on the back is too rough. They head out the door together and headed to school while talking about what their high school life awaits.
~xoxoxoxo~
Echizen Ryoma entered the school gates while yawning when suddenly someone called his name.
"Ryoma-sama!" Ryoma stopped walking as he remembered whose voice that came from. He turned around with a bored face as it's rude to not turn to someone who called you. Even if it's someone you're really uncomfortable with.
"Good morning, Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka greeted Ryoma with her face inches from his. Ryoma backed away and just nodded to recognize her greeting. Ryoma looked behind Tomoka and spotted a blushing Sakuno.
"G-Good morning, Ryoma-kun." Sakuno timidly greeted.
"Ah." Ryoma said and turned around to head around the school board to know which class they're in. Apparently, their relationship is still the same even after all those years.
Ryoma boredly scanned the board looking for his name but was interrupted when Tomoka screamed.
"Kyaa! We're in the same class Sakuno!" Tomoka happily said as she glomped Sakuno. Sakuno just smiled, somehow embarrassed at the attention her friend is receiving. Ryoma looked away from them, somehow glad to know that friendship like that still exists in this day and time.
After a while of scanning, he finally found which class he's in and learned that he was in the same class with Horio. Again. Ryoma sighed.
'Some things never change.'
~xoxoxoxo~
Girls giggled as soon as Ryoma entered the classroom. With Horio. Ryoma found him walking around looking for his class. Ryoma was gonna just ignore him but Horio knew that Ryoma's his classmate so he tagged along with him. Bad luck.
Ryoma ignored the girls' giggles and pointing fingers at him as he walked to an empty seat. Horio took the seat behind him. Ryoma was about to take a nap but Horio tapped his shoulder and he instantly returned it with a glare as he was interrupting his nap.
Horio sweatdropped as he said, "L-Let's go together to the tennis courts after school to sign up?"
Ryoma just nodded with a glare and was about to take a nap again when Horio, once again, tapped him.
"WHAT?" Ryoma whispered loudly as he was getting irritated. On the first day too. What about the whole year with him? Ryoma wanted to facepalm.
"Osakada said to eat lunch with them together. Kachiro and Katsuo will come also." Horio said as he slightly backed his chair away from Ryoma.
"Fine just don't interrupt my sleep." Ryoma finally found peace and was about to close his eyes when the bell rang. A vein popped on Ryoma's head.
'Can't I get any sleep here?'
~xoxoxoxo~
Lunch time came and the freshmen group met under the sakura tree to have their lunch.
"Wow! As expected of girls' lunch boxes. It's so pleasant looking!" Horio said as the girls opened their lunchboxes.
"Your mothers make your bento right? And they're girls too. What's the difference?" Tomoka said which annoyed Horio and it started their first fight for the first day of their first year life.
Ryoma silently ate his lunch in peace while Sakuno, Katsuo, and Kachiro tried to copy Ryoma but can't as they're not trained enough to ignore noisy people around them.
After a while, the fight stopped and they were finally able to eat in peace. But Horio suddenly spoke with his mouth full and rice sputtered everywhere making the others grab their lunch to a safe place.
"If Ryuzaki-sensei coaches middle school, who will be our coach in high school?" Horio asked.
"Horio-kun, don't talk with your mouth full." Kachiro lectured as everyone returned to their original eating positions as soon as the explosion of Horio's mouth was finished.
"Who knows. I hope the coach isn't too strict though." Katsuo said. "The senpai-tachi should know right?"
"That's right. But I haven't seen any of them around. It's weird." Tomoka said.
"Even the tennis courts are empty." Kachiro said as he looked over to where the tennis courts are.
"We'll know later after school right?" Ryoma said bluntly, joining in the conversation.
"That's right."
Sakuno suddenly stopped eating as she remembered something. She reached behind her and laid out a handkerchief with cookies.
"I made too many cookies last night so I decided to bring some today." Sakuno offered. The rest of them stared at the cookies with eyes sparkling and drooling mouths.
"You're an angel sent from heaven, Ryuzaki!" Horio said as he was about to take a cookie but Tomoka slapped his hand.
"Ryoma-sama should be the first one to get one!" Tomoka said as she pointed to the cookies. The rest sweatdropped.
'What difference does it make if he's the first one?' The others thought. Ryoma simply took a piece anyway and put it in his mouth. The others gulped waiting for Ryoma's reaction. After Ryoma finished the cookie, he noticed everyone staring at him.
"What?" Ryoma densely asked. The rest faceplanted.
"N-Nothing." They answered and they then took cookies. Horio grabbed too many and Tomoka shouted at him which started the second or third fight of the day.
After they finished their lunch, Tomoka and Horio left while arguing followed by Kachiro and Katsuo who was looking down, embarrassed to be seen with them. Sakuno followed with a sad face as Ryoma didn't say anything about her cooking. Or baking.
"Ne," Ryoma said as he followed the others casually. He stopped as soon as Sakuno stopped and turned to him.
"Hai?" Sakuno asked with a slight blush on her face.
"You've improved." Ryoma said as he continued walking passing by Sakuno whose face was now redder. She happily turned around and was met by Ryoma's back.
"Thank you." Sakuno bowed eventhough Ryoma doesn't see it. Ryoma gently smiled slightly as he already know that Sakuno's bowing to him even if he isn't looking at her.
The moment between them was seen by girls who belonged to Ryoma's fanclub and they watched in jealousy.
~xoxoxoxo~
Sakuno walked along the corridors happily chatting with Tomoka after school. When they were near the stairs, a girl tripped Sakuno and Sakuno regained her balance by grabbing on the rail of the stairs. Unfortunately, due to her clumsy nature and bad luck, she slipped and fell down the stairs.
"Sakuno!" Tomoka ran down the stairs to see if Sakuno's okay but reminded herself to talk with that girl who tripped Sakuno.
Meanwhile, the girl who tripped Sakuno had a shocked look on her face as she didn't intend to make her fall down the stairs. She only intended to trip her.
"Blood! There's blood on her head!" Tomoka freaked and the girl ran away horrified as soon as she heard that. The ambulance came and Tomoka came with them to the hospital while calling for Sakuno's grandmother.
~xoxoxoxo~
Meanwhile with Ryoma and Horio, they were heading to the tennis courts and were glad to see that the senpais were there and their attitudes didn't change much.
"Ochibi!" Eiji exclaimed as he glomped Ryoma. Momo joined in the glomping.
"Senpai-tachi! Where were you all this time? We didn't see you." Horio asked. The team suddenly had gloomy backgrounds.
"We were asked to clean the auditorium after the assembly for welcoming the freshmen." Oishi explained with a tired smile on his face.
"It was tiring work nya. Why did we have to do it?" Eiji sighed.
"We didn't get the chance to see you." Momo joined in sighing. The freshmen sweatdropped thinking how tough being a senpai is. The reunion was interrupted when they heard an ambulance stop in front of their school.
"Did something happen?" Oishi worriedly asked. Being a mother hen, his worry is ten times more than others. They looked over to see nurses pulling a stretcher but were even more shocked to see Tomoka following.
They all ran over to Tomoka to know what happened, even Tezuka, with worried faces. Tomoka stopped for awhile as she saw her senpai-tachi. The team noticed tears in Tomoka's eyes.
"What happened?" Momo asked.
"Sakuno fell down the stairs when some girl tripped her." Tomoka hurriedly said as she continued to run to the ambulance. The rest was shocked as those who carried racquets dropped them.
"B-Buchou. Can't we skip practice just this time and go with them?" Momo asked with a worried expression. Eiji and Oishi also looked at Tezuka pleadingly. Tezuka just sighed and nodded and they immediately ran outside to get to the hospital.
~xoxoxoxo~
They impatiently waited outside Sakuno's room as the treatment is too long. Tomoka had her hands clasped and supported her bowed head with them. The others would sometimes look at Tomoka with a worried expression as she's the one closest to Sakuno. Sumire came panting and asked them. Shouting at them rather.
"How's Sakuno?" Sumire asked. The rest looked away so Oishi answered for them.
"Still no results." Sumire was about to break down but Kawamura and Momo supported her and led her to the chairs.
"It's gonna be okay sensei. It's okay. She'll be fine." Momo assured as he sadly smiled.
Suddenly, the doctor came out and their bowed faces looked up and those who were sitting stood up.
"How is she? Sumire asked.
"She's in a comatose at the moment. But I assure you that she's fine." The doctor said and called out to Sumire to talk about the damage. They all sighed in relief as soon as they learned she's fine.
They were permitted to enter the room and they all looked at Sakuno. There were bandages on her forehead and her face was pale but she was breathing, which is a good sign. She had a peaceful and innocent look on her face and anger rose as they thought of who would do this to someone as nice as Sakuno.
Because of what happened, they didn't notice that Fuji was missing. Apparently, Fuji was being sadistic and searched for the girl who pushed Sakuno down the stairs and 'talked' to her with a smile on his face with evilness behind it. After their 'talk', the girl suddenly ran away and confessed what she did to the principal of the school.
~xoxoxoxo~
Sakuno opened her eyes and found herself in a white and empty room. She rubbed her eyes and noticed that something's wrong. A nurse opened the door and she looked shock as she saw Sakuno awake and dropped her notepad.
"Doctor! Come here! He's awake!" The nurse called. Sakuno looked confused as she's only been sleeping for a few hours and what's with calling her a 'he'? The doctor came and examined her.
"How are you doing, Tsuda-kun?" The doctor asked which confused Sakuno more.
"Tsuda? Who's Tsuda?" Sakuno can't help but ask as the doctor and nurse looked at her shockingly.
"You're Tsuda Kosuke. You've been in a coma for about a year now. Don't you remember anything?" The doctor asked. Sakuno widened her eyes. The doctor made sure to see if she was fine and left with the nurse to give Sakuno some space to think.
"W-What's going on?" Sakuno asked herself and looked down to see that she has a flat chest. Yeah, her chest may be kind of flat but not this flat! Sakuno became even more horrified as she noticed her private part has something that has never been there before.
"I-I turned into a guy! No wait, my soul somehow got transferred to a guy's body!" Sakuno freaked out.
'No. No. I must be dreaming. This is impossible.' Sakuno shook her head and decided that she's fine enough to take a walk outside.
She closed the door behind her and proceeded to walk around but the nameplate next door shocked her.
