The sky was pitch black. Rain drizzle down hard. The wind howl as if it's hungry looking for its pray. After he received an surprising phone call from his coach, he dashed out of his warm, cozy home onto the cold, damp, and wet street. As heavy as the rain had fallen and as strong as the wind howled, it didn't stop a certain boy to stop searching for a certain girl.

It had been hours since the phone call.

He was certain that she was just fine a few hours ago or was she?

He stopped by the bus station and look around to see any sign of the girl he is in search of, but nothing was in sight. Of course there will be nothing. Who would be out in this rain?

As time pass, he was started to get anxious, worry, and angry. Anxious that he couldn't find one girl. Worry that the girl was out all night in this cold, rainy night. Last but not least angry that every second he spent looking for the girl, his worry increases.

Why didn't she go home? She isn't the type to disappear like this.

What...what happened to her?

Ring Ring Ring

"Hn." He said panting hard trying to catch his breath.

"Echizen, we found her!"

"Where?"

"We're at Ueno Park!." Without a reply, be sprint towards the say location.


The girl was with his senpai, who had carried her toward Ueno Station for shelter, when he got there. The girl was so cold from staying out in the rain and was so pale from the coldness of the rain.

"Echizen, we have to get her to a nearby hospital quick. Her temperature is rising." Oishi said.

Ryoma only nodded in reply as Fuji called up on a taxi. As the taxi got there, the girl was already panting hard. Her temperature was still rising. They're afraid that if they're too late, the girl might develop pneumonia.

The girl was quickly transferred into immediate care. The others stay behind and waited for the result.

"Where's Sakuno?" Tomoka asked. She came along running frantically with Ryuzaki-sensei.

"The doctor is examining her right now." Kaidou replied.

"I did tell her not to come to school today." Their coach said.

They all looked at their coach waiting for an explanation.

"She wasn't feeling well this morning. I told her to take it easy and rest for today, but she insisted on coming to school."

They all nodded.

They all waited patiently for the doctor to come out. As the door opened everyone stood up waiting for the doctor to speak up.

"She's fine for now. It was a good thing you all took her here in time. If it had been any later then I'm afraid we might now been able to save her." The doctor said. They all sighed in relief.

"Thank you doctor." They all said.

"No problem at all. Oh, she's in room 305."

That was all he needed to hear as he dash towards her room. He quietly opened the door to see her lying on the white bed. He could see that she still have a slight of a fever but that was all.

...What was she doing in Ueno Park?...

Ryuzaki-sensei came in quietly informing Ryoma that she order the others to go home. A few minutes before she enters; the doctor also came in to check upon the girl.

"You're Ryuzaki Sakuno's grandmother right?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, I am." Ryuzaki-sensei replied.

"From my examination of your granddaughter, it may have seem that she is 4 weeks pregnant." The doctor replied.

That got Ryoma's attention. His coach with a shocked expression looked at the doctor. How could her innocent granddaughter be pregnant? As far as she had known her granddaughter had never gone anywhere without her permission. So how in the world did her precious granddaughter became pregnant?

"Now, are you the father?" The doctor asked Ryoma.

Ryuzaki-sensei was also looking at him.

Ryoma nodded in response.

Ryuzaki-sensei couldn't believe what she was hearing. Ryoma is the father? Ryuzaki-sensei sighed. She will have to get some explanation from the two later.

"Very well, please make an appointment to have her regular check up. Well, I'm sorry to bother you." The doctor said then left, taking down some notes.

"Ryoma, you should go home and get some rest. I'll watch over her." His coach said as she absorb everything the doctor had said.

"Yadda." Ryoma replied.

"Ryoma-"

"Let me stay with her, coach."

His coach sighed again and left saying that she is leaving the girl in his care.

Ryoma pulled a chair next to the patient.

He held her hand close to him. Her hands were cold but it wasn't as cold as when they found her. In fact, he felt the need to protect her and their baby. As he was thinking all sorts of things he soon fell asleep.
