~oOo~

How the hell did that stupid Oyaji of mine trick me into doing this? I don't know. All I know is that I got stuck doing errands with the other Seigaku Regulars and I'm NOT happy one bit.

Its Saturday. SATURDAY! Its suppose to be my brake from school, and I'm spending my precious sleeping time with a bunch of monkeys!

We had to go and buy a bunch of new equipment for the new people who joined the tennis club. Honestly, I don't give a crap. But my stupid senpais found a way to drag me with them.

"Momo, Kaidoh! Quit fighting! Inui, Stop torturing random kids with your juices! Eiji, get that thing out of your mouth! You don't know were its been!" Oishi yelled out in panic while running to the side of all the said Seigaku Players.

Ryoma sighed an threw the can of Ponta that he finished drinking in the near by trashcan. 'This is going to be a long day…' I stared at all the Seigaku players. They were all laughing at Momo and Kaidoh, while Oishi was trying to stop the two from murdering each other.

Suddenly Ryoma saw two girls run into the street while a car was headed their way. The girls didn't seem to notice the car that was heading towards them. They seemed lost and confused. But they when they got to the center of the road they stopped running to look at a car that was nearing them.

Ryoma started to panic. He actually saw one of the girl's face turn completely white, while the other stared back in horror. He stood up and rushed to the girls. "Look Out!" Ryoma yelled out as he ran into the street ignoring the people telling him to stop.

he tried to grab both of the girls, but only managed to grab one of them. Ryoma mentally cursed. It was too late to go get the other one. He could only hope that she somehow managed to get out of the street and was safe.

He threw himself to the other side of the street. When they landed the small girl was whimpering and quivering with fear. He looked up and was surprised to see a unfamiliar boy holding the other girl who was shedding tears.

"Good thing I came to help, ne?" the guy said as he looked passed Ryoma and looked at a girl with auburn hair running towards them.

~oOo~

Sakuno ran. She just couldn't imagine life without the twins. They had grown so close to each other, they were practically sisters.

She saw a bunch of police officers talking to a man that appeared to be the driver. Sakuno listen closely to every word the man said, but could only make out a few words.

"…Came out of nowhere…"

"…Twins with brownish-red hair…"

"…Boys saved them…"

Sakuno was getting more and more worried she just had to see the twins! She needed to know if they were injured or if they were alright.

Sakuno heard someone crying and immediately recognized the voice. Kagamin. Sakuno just knew that the voice belonged to the youngest twin. Kagamin was a very sensitive girl. She would burst into tears for the smallest things at time.

Sakuno followed the sound of the voice. She got closer and closer until she saw two girls leaning against a tree. One was shivering so hard that you might of mistaken her for a vibrating phone, while the other one was crying her poor little heart out.

Then she slowed to a jog as she saw two familiar boys who were looking at after the girls. One of the boys looked at her and smiled.

'Hiroshi-kun? What is he doing here? Can it be… I haven't seen him since seventh grade…' Sakuno approached him and was about to ask him about the girls when he beat her to it.

"Don't worry Sa-chan, they're okay. Just a bit frighten but that's all." Hiroshi said in a calm voice that made Sakuno's whole body relax.

Hiroshi Takanara.

Age:14

Eye color: Dark blue

Hair color: Dark brown

Dominate hand: left (could also write with his right hand)

Hiroshi, Sakuno and Tomoka met in the third grade. All three of them were best friends until Hiroshi moved away in the middle of their seventh grade school year.

Hiroshi would always protect Sakuno from bullies and other people that would try to bother her. His nickname during sixth and grade was "Sakuno's boyfriend" since he had a lot of affection towards her.

Sakuno stared at Hiroshi. She was waiting for all the new information to sink in her head. She was also surprised that she almost forgot about the twins.

"Hiroshi-kun…" Sakuno started.

"I know I was gone for a long time but that doesn't matter now. Aren't you going to see how they're doing?" Hiroshi gave her one of his dazzling smiles.

He reached out for her hand and held it lightly. He started to pull her towards the tree where the girls were at. For a moment Sakuno was hesitant in following him but then decided to go.

Sakuno kept on wondering how Hiroshi knew about the little girls. But then again, he had lots of ways of finding out things. He had "spies" that helped him get information on things he would want to know.

Sakuno was led by Hiroshi to the girls. As soon as the girls saw Sakuno they suddenly disappeared and then reappeared by Sakuno and wrapped their small little arms around her waist.

"NEE-CHAN!" both girls screamed. They were terrified. No one could blame them. They were really close to their death.

Sakuno bent down to hug both girls and try to comfort them. She was so relived to know that the two girls were safe and sound.

"Ryuzaki?" That voice. Sakuno's eyes widened at the sound of that familiar voice. She turned her head to see the one person that she was not prepared to see at the moment.

Ryoma stepped closer and stared at her. Sakuno suddenly felt like she was going to have a heart attack.

"R-Ryoma-kun… what are you doing here?" Sakuno asked unsure of what else to say.

"I didn't know you had sisters."

Sakuno looked down at the twins who were still crying their hearts out. She didn't like it when people asked her if they were related. She would have to say the truth. The awful truth of the girls losing their parents and why Sakuno who acted like their big sister.

Suddenly Hiroshi appeared right next to Sakuno and picked up Kiri who was only sniffling now. He looked straight into Ryoma's amber orbs and Ryoma glared at the guy who suddenly appeared next to Sakuno.

Sakuno who decided to brake up their staring contest began to say the truth. Well she tried to talk when-

"OCHIBI!"

Everyone turned their heads to see Eiji, Momo and the other Seigaku regulars running towards them.

"Nice move Echizen! The way you saved the girls was way cool!" Momo said with a big goofy grin spread across his face.

"Hoi, hoi, hoi, Ochibi still has the moves! Nya!" Eiji said as he happily glompped the poor Ryoma.

"Senpais, your too loud. Eiji-senpai…can't… breath…" Ryoma choked out as his face started to turn blue from the lack of air.

"Senpais…" Sakuno said as she looked up to see that Momo and Eiji were looking her way.

"Nya! Sakuno-chan! Are these cute little girls that Ochibi saved your sisters? They're so cute!" Eiji bent down to pat Kagamin on the head.

Kagamin slowly looked up. Her wide sapphire orbs now puffy from all the crying that she had gone threw. Her cheeks started to turn pink as Eiji patted her on the head. She gave him a small shy smile saying that she was okay.

"Well you can say that they are my little sisters." Sakuno smiled.

Kiri who had been observing the whole situation from the arms of a quiet Hiroshi, became curious and stared at al the regulars closely as if trying to study their faces. Giving up on trying to recognize them she finely asked.

"Nee-chan, who are they?"

Hiroshi slowly put Kiri on the floor and Kiri soon began to walk

up to each of the regulars asking their names and other stuff that

The silly girl asked.

After a brief introduction of all the regulars, it was the twins turn to introduce themselves.

"Hello! My name is Kiri. I'm eight years old and this is my little sister, Kagamin. Sorry if she doesn't talk a lot, she can be very shy at times." Kiri began to shake the hands of all the regulars while Kagamin stood next to Sakuno and smiled politely.

While the twins were talking to the regulars, yes even Kagamin got conferrable with the regulars, Ryoma saw this opportunity to ask Sakuno a few questions.

"Ryuzaki, come with me." was all he said before he began to walk away.

Sakuno frowned. She didn't want to be alone with Ryoma. It just didn't feel right. Hiroshi, who noticed her stiffness, looked at her with worried eyes. He didn't want to see Sakuno hurt like that again.

"Sakuno…" Hiroshi looked at Sakuno who forced a smile. "I'll be okay Hiro-kun."

Sakuno then left to catch up with Ryoma who was a few meters ahead of her. They turned a corner then stopped.

Ryoma turned to look at her with a serious expression. Sakuno visibly stiffened when she saw the look in his eyes. She was very nervous.

"What happened? Why did you leave the girls alone? Why weren't you there with them?" Ryoma wanted to know badly. It wasn't like her to be so irresponsible.

Sakuno sifted her gaze to the floor. She hated telling people what really happened. She felt awful for what happened earlier. She knew that she should have gotten to the orphanage on time but she didn't.

She wasn't aware of the tears that slipped out of her eyes. She gathering all the courage she had to tell him the truth. She was tired of suffering.

She looked up so her teary chocolate orbs met his amber ones. Ryoma was surprised to see all the determination in her eyes.

"…Ryoma-kun…" she started

"…Before I tell you anything you have to promise…" more tears filled her eyes.

"… that you won't tell anyone." Ryoma just stared at her. Was it that big of a deal?

"Fine. I promise." Ryoma said after a short pause.

Sakuno sighed and tried to steady herself. She was just about to reveal one of her most dreaded secrets to the guy she fell in love with years ago.

Ryoma patiently waited for her to continue. He didn't know what the big deal was. But he knew that the secret the she was keeping away from everyone was torturing her from the inside.

"…It was my fault that the twin's mom died," she said as the sour tears rolled down her cheek.

"What? What do you mean your fault?" Okay this was a big shocker. How could it be Sakuno's fault that the twin's mom had passed away.

"A few month ago, obaa-chan and I were driving to a reunion when we accidentally crossed a red light and…" Sakuno had to pause. She started to sob quietly. It was the worst secret she knew, but for some reason it felt good to reveal her secret to Ryoma.

"Obaa-chan's car crashed with the twin's car and their car flipped over!" Sakuno's sobs began to get a little louder. She began to shake her head violently.

Ryoma grabbed Sakuno by the shoulders to stop her from shaking her head. How was it her fault if it was Ryuzaki-sensei who was driving the car.

"Ryuzaki, its not your fault. You weren't the one driving. Stop crying. Your drawing too much attention." Ryoma said calmly as he tried to quiet her down.

Sakuno looked up at him. She was happy that he started to care for her but it also hurt her inside and she didn't know why.

"It Is, Ryoma-kun. I was distracting obaa-chan's focus from the road and that's how it happened. The twins only had a few scratches while their mom was in a coma. She stayed that way for a month until she finely passed away." Ryoma then embraced Sakuno in a tight hug.

Sakuno was surprised that he showed his emotions to her. He would usually bell calm and collected. Ryoma himself was also shocked by his own actions. But something inside of him told her that she needed someone who would comfort her without hating her for life.

Sakuno then started to blush. She knew that she still had a crush on the boy who was now hugging her, but she doesn't want those feelings to come back.

He let her cry on his shoulder for a few minutes. He was happy to help her. She was not like the other girls who always bothered him at school or anywhere else he was at. She understood that he needed his space and wasn't at all like his crazy fan girls.

She slowly got out of his embrace with a smile on her face. She was grateful that he took the time to listen to her and all her reasons. But she still had to say one more thing before they head back to the group.

"They are now living in a orphanage in witch I visit everyday. I needed them to forgive me so I played the role of their big sister. They don't know what happened during the car crash and I don't want them to find out. Not now. Not when I have grown so close to them." she said as she turned around.

Ryoma was still shocked but he knew that she really is sorry and would do anything to go back to that moment and change things, but what's done is done. You can't go back, you can only move forward.

Sakuno turned around to face him again. Her eyes were still glassy but she was wearing a very pretty smile on her lips. He really missed that smile. He hadn't seen that smile since the day of their argument.

"Well Ryoma-kun, we should probably head back now they're probably still waiting for us." Sakuno was also happy that she did not feel awkward around him anymore.

Ryoma nodded and they both headed back to the group that was still waiting for them. They both started a new relationship. A new beginning. The beginning of their new friendship.

Fuji who had been watching from a distance, was smiling that awkward and mysterious smile that he always seems to have on his face, only that now it looks kind of evil.

'This could end up pretty interesting…' he thought to himself as he stared at the two figures walk away to join the rest of the group.
