Chapter 1- He finally returns

Atobe Residence

Normal P.O.V.

Atobe Sakuno came down the stairs gracefully heading toward the dining room and there sat her husband Atobe Keigo and her 2 year old son Atobe Hiroto who were both eating a western style breakfast. Sakuno kissed her husband on the cheek and said "Good morning" to her son and husband and seated herself across her from son. Hiroto was born into the Atobe family the following year after Keigo and Sakuno were married and inherited the looks of his father as well as the intelligence and arrogant attitude but also inherited his mother's gentle and caring personality.

"Son since your birthday is coming up what would you like for your special day?" asked a tall proud father.

"Father I want someone to play with!" Hiroto answered cheerfully.

"Honey there will be many people to play with at your birthday party like Takuma (Takeshi and Ann Momoshiro's child) to play with?" Replied Sakuno.

"But mother they will go home after the party!"Sighed Hiroto.

"Sakuno, Hiroto wants a brother or sister, so we better get busy!" said Keigo chuckled glancing at his son.

"...umm we will umm try." A blushing Sakuno said.


The Cafe

Sakuno P.O.V

I stepped out of the huge limo just outside of my favourite cafe 'Susumu's Cafe' (A/N: not a real place) and I see Ann who was sitting in her usual place.

"Hello Ann chan, how are you?" I said looking at her beautifully selected outfit.

"Great! But you look a bit pale. Have you been worrying?" replied a very curious Ann. Damm she noticed! Well might as well tell her.

"Yes I have been because my son requested something surprising for his birthday present." I answered. I watched as her facial expression change from worrying to smiling.

"Don't worry you have plenty of money to spoil him rotten!" Ann replied smiling. "And there really isn't anything you can't buy for him"

"Well this is something money I can't buy" I said and I can feel my face getting red and hot.

"Tell me what it is and I'll see if I can help" replied Ann

"Umm......"I started to say until I was cut off when Ann screamed "Isn't that Echizen?"

I looked over and it was Echizen Ryoma with the same cat-like eyes and his emerald black hair. All the memories came back to me, the way her simile at me, the way he touched me and the looks he gave me that made my heart tingly. Ann had already gone over to him and I slowly approached them, trying to avoiding looking at him until I looked up and our eyes met. There had been a silence then he said "Sakuno, it has been a long time hasn't it?"

"Umm yes it has been Echizen kun. Ann chan I have to go umm Keigo just called me to join him for lunch. I will see you next week" I rushed off after I said that.


Ryoma P.O.V

"Who is this Keigo guy?" I asked in an annoyed tone. Why is Sakuno meeting a guy?

"He is Sakuno's husband. Atobe Keigo remember? and I think you once shaved Atobe san's hair off after a match in the nationals." Ann answered trying not to laugh.

Stupid monkey king married my Sakuno! Why didn't she wait for me? I immediately walked off and wondered into the park where I used to teach Sakuno tennis and the place where we had our first kiss. I sat on the bench that we sat on 8 years ago when I confessed. I always thought she would wait for me.

Ann and Momoshiro Household


Normal P.O.V

"Honey, I am home! How was your day with Takuma?"Ann asked her husband.

"It was great we had some good bonding time! How was your day with Sakuno chan? Is she good?"Asked a happy Takeshi glancing at his wife.

"We saw Echizen Kun and Sakuno chan is a bit worried about Hiroto birthday present. She seemed at bit tensed around Echizen Kun." Said Ann

"So he is finally back but I guess it is too late...." Ann interrupted him and said "Huh? What do you mean too late? For what"

"I guess you don't know. Echizen and Sakuno chan dated in the second and third year of middle school and then one day Echizen just disappear without saying anything, he didn't even leave a note. Sakuno chan was very upset and she suddenly transferred to Hyotei the next year. When she left she said she couldn't cope with her memories with Echizen at Seigaku. After that Sakuno chan said she is dating Atobe and we (Seigaku regulars) tried to stop her because we all thought she and Echizen were the perfect pair. On her wedding day, when we saw her walking down the aisle with the bright smile on her face we all knew that she had made the right choice. We don't really know what happened at Hyotei between Sakuno chan and Atobe but Echizen is too late to take her back now." Takeshi explained

"Oh so that is why Sakuno chan transferred to Hyotei! I never knew that Echizen and Sakuno chan dated" Ann commented

"Well it was hard to tell since Echizen didn't really change but once we followed him at lunch and saw how sweet he was to Sakuno chan. We just laughed and those were good time."Sighed Takeshi "Did Echizen say when he is going to meet with us again?"

"He left without saying anything" said Ann


A/N: This is my first fanfiction. My writing isn't that good so please comment on how I could improve it...if you know how. I thought of this plot when I was in the car and I was listening to Wonderful days. It suddenly came into my head, the idea of Sakuno and Ryoma's broken relationship and then the story built on from that. Well I hoped you enjoyed reading the first chapter!
