He's Not Just Your Average Guy

Drabble Summary: Ryoma gone berserk when he discovered Sakuno was being painfully harassed by delinquents.

April 1st.

The day people made pranks and jokes to others. But not to Sakuno. It was her worst nightmare.

…Her worst nightmare.

They were freshmen in Seigaku High School now. The regulars were long graduated so there's only few of them were left. But as years went by, their features changed as well. Who would think Sakuno changed for the better? She was beautiful and alluring. Even guys would stare at her. She was not that hot that she could sweep their feet away. She was still shy and not good at communicating to other people but that didn't bother them. Ryoma was still the same although; he paid some… yes not a little attention to her now.

"Meet me at the school gate later."

She could barely hear him say his words as he left the room with Momo who was waiting outside for him. The two would probably have a tennis match at the court. Those two never changed.

She walked to the corridor only to be shocked when a certain guy with dark brown hair appeared in front of her.

He was Katsuhiko Hideki.

This guy was smirking at her. And she was not that dense to know that the boy was hitting on her. The boy leaned on the wall where she was standing and said;

"Hey babe, do you have something to do later? Want to go somewhere else with me?"

Sakuno was terrified. She couldn't trust the guy. She thought that the guy was up to something, "G-gomen, I-I have something to do later." She said as she walked away from him.

"What about tomorrow?" Hideki followed her.

She quickened her face, "T-tomorrow as well."

"Come on, don't you want to give me a chance?"

"I-I'm really sorry, I-I can't go out with you. Please don't get your hopes up."

Hideki was a bit pissed and grabbed her hand and said, "Why are playing hard to get? Why don't you just go with the flow?"

"K-katsuhiko-kun, l-let me go," Sakuno pleaded to the boy as she tried to struggle, "I-I know that you like me but-but I have someone that I like. I'm sorry."

Hideki was stunned so she grabbed the chance to get away from him. She turned around after she apologized once again. Amidst to her knowledge, Hideki quickly yanked something from his pocket and placed it on her face, covering her mouth and nose. There was a strong smell from the handkerchief that made her unconscious. Hideki smirked at her… evilly;

"I asked you the good way but you seemed to prefer the bad way."

SNAP!

Ryoma was a bit surprised, his shoelace was snapped. Momo noticed him as the boy stopped from doing his shoelaces.

"What's wrong?"

"…an omen."

"Huh?"

Not long after that, he heard a small sound that was coming from his bag. A ball fell down from it. He stood up and went to the bench. He picked up the ball. His eyes grew big.

"Isn't that Ryuzaki-chan's…"

It was the ball Sakuno gave him before he went to America for his first U.S open tournament.

…The ball with number one sign on it.

Momo whispered, "So you have been keeping that all the time."

Ryoma didn't react on his senpai's tease. He gripped the tennis ball really hard.

Her eyes were slowly opening. She sat up trying to remember what happened. As she was doing that she saw two guys in front of her. She didn't know them. And then she remembered Hideki. He put something on her mouth that made her unconscious. C-chloroform? She thought when she remembered the smell. She looked around and discovered that she was in a club room… far away from the tennis club room.

"You are finally awake, sleeping beauty. Classes were long over if you like to know."

She almost jumped when someone spoke behind her, "K-katsuhiko-kun. W-what are you doing? W-why am I here?" She tried to stand up but the effect of the drug wasn't taking off of her system.

Hideki smiled mockingly as he said something, "I brought you here, so no one could bother us."

Her eyes widened. She only realized that her clothes were a bit worn out and the ribbon to her neck was gone. She was not wearing her shoes anymore. Whatever the boy was thinking didn't bring any good. She needed to get out of there before something happened to her. She waited for the chance before she could compose herself and tried to escape. She managed to stand up and grabbed the doorknob but a guy who was standing in front of her stopped her and threw her back to the floor.

It was really fast that she only realized that the two boys from before was holding her wrist on both sides, there were smirking at her. She felt scared at that time especially when Hideki straddled over her and touched her cheek;

"You know, I hate being rejected."

"K-katsuhiko-kun… s-stop it, please." She tried to beg.

"I asked you like that but you didn't listen. Do you think that I would listen to you as well?" Hideki said sliding his fingers down to her neck. She felt all her hair stood up.

She felt terrified now. She knew that the boy wouldn't listen. She gasped when the boy suddenly touched her leg soothing the softness of it. She tried to struggle hoping that the boy would stop doing that. He tried to kiss her but she wouldn't let her.

Hideki became pissed as she tried to move recklessly. She didn't allow him to kiss her. He snapped and slapped the girl really hard causing her lips to bleed. She irked because of the pain. She turned her head side ways really hard.

"Let's see how far you can get." After that, he inserted his hand to her skirt making her flinch and panic.

Okay. That was not good anymore. She brought her voice to her lungs and scream;

"HELP ME! ! ! SOMEBODY! ! ! RYOMA-KUN! ! !"

The three of them was a bit surprised. They didn't expect that she could scream so loud like that. Knowing that she was a shy girl… Sakuno tried to fight back as she was trying to escape from the grip and kicking all over.

"You son of a…" he punched her twice on the stomach really hard.

That really pained her. She wanted to touch her stomach but the guys were still holding her wrist. She fought for her consciousness. She gasped when Hideki torn her blouse harshly. Her chest was exposing to the boy now. As well as the boys were eyeing on her now. She could see how greedy they were. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered something to her;

"Don't worry babe, you'll going to enjoy this." He said and then he started kissing her neck. She felt terror and Goosebumps at the same time.

"D-don't p-please." She almost whispered because of the pain she felt on her stomach. She closed her eyes tightly when she felt his hand inside her skirt once again trying to take 'that' off of her.

Tears started to fall down without her noticing.

Great.

April 1st.

The prank was not funny anymore.

It was the worst day of her life.

The day that she would become broke.

SLAM!

They looked at the door quickly. Her eyes became widened. She barely saw two figures in front of her. But she knew who they were.

R-ryoma-kun… M-momo-senpai… She thought.

Ryoma on the other hand was wide awake. He was still registering in his mind what was happening right now. Three guys… pinning her down… pinning the injured Sakuno… Sakuno...Sakuno. Momo gritted his teeth as he was the first one to react;

"You BASTARD!" He shouted as he went in and gave Hideki a punch on his face the moment he stood up from her. The other boys let go of her wrist and tried to defend Hideki.

Sakuno tried to sit up and curled herself up while looking down. The pain doubled every time she moved. She tried to hide her chest with her bare hands as Hideki torn her blouse rudely.

Ryoma returned to his reverie and saw the girl's actions. He went near her and offered her his jersey. The girl was still crying and trembling all over. He saw the blood from her lips, "Ryuzaki…"

"I-I am scared," She gasped as she looked down, "I am really scared." She burst into tears after that as she was wiping the never ending tears from her eyes.

Momo was done beating the thugs and went near them. They were partly conscious though.

"Ryuzaki-chan! Are you alright? They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Momo panicked, "I am gonna kill them just tell me."

Sakuno shook her head weakly. But she could feel the pain in her stomach, "I-I can't barely move b-because K-katsuhiko-kun punched me, t-that's all."

"WHAT! That bastard needs more beating." Momo gritted as he stood up to beat them once again but a racket stopped him. He looked behind him to see an indescribable expression of his kouhai.

"Momo-senpai, let me."

"Echizen?"

He reached his limit. When he heard the beatings they did to her. He walked slowly to the semi-conscious guys. His face couldn't read by anyone. Momo and Sakuno saw a raging aura emitting from his body.

"How dare you lay a finger to MY girl before I did?" He said gripping the racket hard to his side.

Sakuno was shocked. Ears must be deceiving her. She must be hallucinating because of the pain.

"How dare you take advantage of her before I even get started?"

Okay, that wasn't hallucination anymore. She looked at Momo who was shocked as well.

"How dare you do those things to her whom I should be the one doing it?" He raised his racket to Hideki as the latter looked at him, terrified. He was the only one, who saw the appearance of his eyes, "Die, you bastard." After that he hit the poor boy with his racket for several times.

"Ouch! S-stop it! Please! I-I won't do it again!" Hideki pleaded.

Ryoma smirked still hitting him, "Yeah, You won't do it again; you will never see the sunlight tomorrow." He whacked the boy furiously and crazily. Ryoma seemed to be out of his mind and he seemed to be enjoying it. He ended up laughing without his knowledge.

Momo was amazed at his kouhai's sudden trance. He couldn't recover at first but when he noticed that the boy wasn't planning to stop, he went over to him and stopped him instead, "Hey, Echizen stop it, you'll going to kill him." He was a bit worried; his kouhai activated his self of actualization and performed it in front of them… physically.

"That's what I am planning to do. Let go of me." He struggled at his grip.

Sakuno tried to stand up and was able to reach them. She held his shirt and said, "R-ryoma-kun… P-please stop. D-don't kill him. P-please, don't taint you r-racket to him"

"Yeah, let's just take them to the student council to report everything."

Ryoma seemed to calm down as he looked at Sakuno. He put his racket down slowly and stared at the crying girl. The girl was still trembling. He knew that she was still in pain. He wrapped his hand with his racket to her waist as she was beginning to lose her balance.

Momo grabbed the guys and Hideki's collar shirts and dragged them like some kind puppies that wouldn't follow their master ahead, "I will ask someone to get here. I think Ryuzaki-chan wasn't able to move. Echizen take care of her." He said as if he did leave them on purpose.

The two were left alone. Ryoma placed her on the mattress that was stock there for a long time. She felt that the pain in her stomach wasn't painful anymore. She could barely move but she couldn't stand for long. She flinched when Ryoma raised her chin from looking down and touched her injured lips. She felt a slight pain when he did that.

"Is there anything painful aside here and in your stomach?" he asked her.

She shook her head slowly, "T-thank you for saving me."

"I should've gotten sooner." He stared at her meaningfully.

"H-how did you… find me?" She asked him this time.

"You screamed. We heard you." He replied.

"I-I see."

"I heard you call my name." He stared at her.

She was a bit shocked, "I-I have this slight chance that you would still be here in Seigaku."

He nodded, "And with this one." He showed the tennis ball she gave him before.

So, the boy was still keeping that ball all this time.

"He wasn't able to kiss you, that's why you had this wound." It was rather a statement than a question.

She nodded as a confirmation. She was beginning to blush. Everything was starting to change between them.

"Good," he said looking at her eyes, "because I will be the one to steal it."

She was shocked at his words. And she was even more shocked when he lifted her chin to level him up and said something;

"Don't worry," He started as he leaned closer to her, "I'll try to avoid the wound."

And then he slowly put his lips to hers. It was a light but warm kiss. Her eyes became widened contrary to his eyes that were closed the moment their lips collided. She held his shirt and gripped it. She was trembling not because of the pain on her stomach but because of the tense.

Yap.

She was nervous. He was kissing her. Ryoma was kissing her. She never imagined that putting herself in danger could end up like this. She closed her eyes and tried to respond but she felt the pain when she did that.

He broke the kiss, "You don't have to respond. We will have more kisses in the future anyway." He smirked after he said that.

She only blushed as a reply to his words. She touched her lips as she was trying to remember the feeling of the first kiss from the person she liked;

"I know that it's not the right time but," He stopped as he looked at her eyes, "I asked you to meet at the school gate today meaning that I was planning to make a move on you but that bastard ruined everything."

"W-what do you mean?" she asked innocently.

"Do I have to explain after the kiss I gave you?" He asked her back.

She nodded as she looked down once again. She was blushing really hard;

Ryoma stared at her, "Nah," that word made her look up catching with her chin once again, "Let's continue the kiss instead."

After that he crossed the distance once again and kissed her. She needed no explanation. She knew everything. The boy would be there to protect her always and he would stay by her side from now on.

April 1st.

…Day of pranks and jokes.

She thought it was worst.

But it was the wonderful day that happened to her life.

~Owari~

Okay! Done! I thought this was going to be a drabble story but I was wrong. Sorry about the light dark scenes. I just couldn't take it unless I write it down. It was been invading my mind and I can't continue my stories if I don't write this down.

Well, I'll accept any review. Just tell me your thoughts. Sakuno wasn't bullied here… she was taken advantage of someone she barely knew.

Katsuhiko Hideki was only fragment of my imagination.

If you have come to like this story feel free to read my other ones. It was not like this because they are all RyoSaku pure romance… Just click my name above thanks…

Aprils Fool's Day! ! !
