Monkey Love
Chapter 2
Sakuno gave a soft sigh as she fell down to the ground under the cherry blossom tree exhausted. A slight growl escaped her mouth when she remembered she still still haven't found Ryoma yet who had ran out the door once the bell had rung signally the end of class. She regretted taking her time going after Ryoma having originally thinking that Ryoma would be going to the tennis courts but when she arrived, she did not find a pair of golden eyes and went to search some other places. She leaned against the trunk of the tree enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin. She closed her eyes enjoying the soft wind blowing at her brown hair which from released from her usual braids and almost fell asleep until a faint yell reached her ears from the direction of the tennis courts. Sakuno gave another sigh before getting up and dusting off some dirt on her skirt. 'Might as well see whats happening at the tennis courts and check again if Ryoma is there or not' She thought as she walked toward the courts.
"RYOMA!" Sakuno practically growled when she saw Ryoma and several bodies littered in the courts. Ryoma only looked innocently at the girl after picking up a tennis ball on the ground and tossing it up and down the air, catching it with his hand every time "huh? Sakuno, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here? Did you just ask me what I'm doing here? you BAKA! i was looking for you the whole time, did you know how many times i ran around the school? And when i find you, what do i see? Your first day at school and your already causing trouble! Just what are you thinking? Oh forget it, i forgot who I'm talking too, causing trouble is like your second nature." Sakuno fumed, glaring at Ryoma who gulped nervously.
"G..gomen Saku-chan, i was planning on checking out the courts today but when i came, these creeps tried to cheat me with this game." Ryoma explained looking at the bodies on the ground hoping Sakuno would believe him. Last thing he wanted to do was get annoyed or angry Sakuno even angrier, having experienced what would happen. In other words, Sakuno was almost a replica of her grandmother when upset or angry.
Sakuno sighed, knowing how much Ryoma hate it when people disrespect tennis. "ok, but that still doesn't give you a excuse to kill people freely"
Several groans from the bodies filled the air as they tried to get up. "Dead? They look very much alive to me" Ryoma asked as a smirked formed on his angelic features. (NOT!)
The people that Sakuno had presumed to be dead had gotten up, shoke their head as if to get rid of a headache or something and glared at Ryoma in anger at having been struck down with a tennis ball that had been aimed at them but they rethought any ill actions they wanted to do when Ryoma glared at them as if daring them to try something, they gulped nervously and left the courts.
Once they were out of eye shot, Sakuno glanced at Ryoma in awe. "It never cease to amaze me how fearless you are, to take on a couple juniors even though your a.... " Sakuno said before getting cut off by Ryoma. "I know i know, don't need to say anything, like they say, even walls have ears."
Sakuno grinned before going on to teased the golden eyed prodigy. "Walls? i see nothing but fences here and they arent even close to being walls"
"Che" Ryoma looked away and walk toward the benches where his bag was located and placed his racket in. Sakuno followed behind with some giggles.

"Ryoma! Check this out, aren't they cute?" Sakuno asked Ryoma pulling the said prodigy toward a window filled with stuff animals of various animals on display.
"Sakuno, you know i don't like these stuff." Ryoma groaned and lied, in fact a stuffed cat caught his attention. Ryoms stared at it for a while, unconciously without knowing, a small smile formed.
Sakuno caught what Ryoma was looking at and grinned. "Isnt that stuff cat just adorable Ryo-chan?" Ryoma just scowled and looked away.
"Are you doone oogling over those stuff animals or not?" Ryoma demanded with a glare.
"Hai, hai." Sakuno grinned before locking arms with Ryoma.
"Oi! Where are you dragging me to now." Ryoma growled.
"To the bookstore" Sakuno stated simply before dragging Ryoma with her into a bookstore.
"I..itai" Ryoma sputtered as he crashed into someone.
"Gomen, Are you okay?" A voice asked. Ryoma looked up and stuttered. "Y..yeah"
"Ah! Tezuka-sempai, gomen, Ryoma here is really clumsy sometimes." Sakuno said sheepishly while Ryoma glared at her. " What do you mean im clumsy, last i check you were the one that trips alot, i lost count of how many times you fell when we were playing tennis"
Sakuno grinned. "Now now Ryoma, dont be like that." Ryoma just stuck a tongue out at the girl childishly forgettiing they had an audience. Looking up again, Ryoma found Tezuka with a tiny tiny tiny smile (Well you get my point) and blushed, turning away when his golden eyes met with a pair of brown one (Its brown right? Too lazy to check right now). "Sakuno, you know him?" Ryoma asked after turning away.
"Hai, hes the captain of the boy's tennis team" Sakuno smirked. "hes hot isnt he." She whispered quietly into Ryomas ear causing Ryoma blush slightly.
"S.." Ryoma stuttered trying to calm down his blush.
"Kunimitsu Tezuka, nice to meet...?"
"Echizen Ryoma" Ryoma answered after successfully removing the blush.
"Aa"
The three looked akwardly at each other not knowing what to do now until Sakuno spoke up. "Ah! Tezuka-sempai, we were planning on heading to the Tennis courts after this, would you like to join us?"
Tezuka shook his head and decline. "I do not wish to trouble you two on your date." Sakuno frowned. "You are no trouble beside the more the merrier"
"No its fine, it was nice meeting you Echizen, Ryuzaki"
"Aa, it was nice meeting you too"
"Okay then, see you at school tomorow Tezuka-sempai"
"Aa, by the way, Ryuzaki-san, i encountered Atobe earlier in the mall searching for you." Tezuka said stoicly but his aeyes betrayed amusement.
"N..Nani!!" Sakuno nearly screamed and quickly dragged Ryoma away from the mall. "Arigatou Tezuka-sempai" Sakuno magaed to yell out before racing out the mall with Ryoma who was confused.

"I thought you were planning on getting something at the bookstore?" Ryoma asked as they reached Sakuno's house.
"Ah! i forgot" Sakuno exclaimed smacking herself mentally.
Ryoma stared amused. "What were you planning to get?"
"This book someone reccomended to me. 'How to Get Rid of a Persistent Monkey.'"
Ryoma stared and then smirked. "Mada mada dane." as Sakuno smacked him in the head.
"So..you have a monkey for a suitor?" Ryoma asked still smirking as he rubbed his head where Sakuno had injured.
"No." Sakuno stated as they went into her room.
Ryoma stared, his mouth opened in shock, "W..What is all this?"
"Dont remind me" Sakuno grumbled as she took a seat on her bed.
Ryoma finally getting over the shock and smirked again. "Well, whoever this guy is, i got to congraduate you. He has got to be a rich bastard." Ryoma stated pointing to all the roses, necklaces, bracelets, cards, etc and other unwrapped gifts.
Sakuno groaned again. "Everytime i tried to return them to him, i end up bringing home even more"
"He sure seem like he has a huge crush on you."
"You dont know how persistent he is." Sakuno sighed.
"Why dont you just accept him?"
Sakuno glared at Ryoma before giving another sigh. "Y..I..I cant, You know why."
"Him again? How long ago was it, why are you still waiting for him?" Ryoma demanded.
"I..I promised"
"So what, you met him in America, how the hell do you think he'll find you when your all the way in Japan."
"I k..know, but he was my first love."
"Was. Beside you cant keep waiting for him forever." Ryoma argued.
"I know I know I KNOW! J..Just give me a little more time, i cant forget him yet." Sakuno said softly as she grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
Ryoma smiled softly. "Well, you better forget him soon, hes ruining your life but anyways, i got to go now, oyaji will be wondering where i went."
sakuno pouted. "Cant you stay for a bit longer? Its been a whie since i last saw you."
"Cant, oyaji still so..." Ryoma rolled is eyes.
"He still so overprotective isnt he?" Sakuno giggled softly. "Fine, Ill see you tomorrow then and tell your parents ill come by to visit soon."
Ryoma grinned mischievously. "Hn, you sure? After all, theres a pervert loose in the house." Sakuno laughed as Ryoma left.
'Arigatou Ryo-chan, your right, i need to forget him but not yet. Nows not the time yet. Ill wait, wait a little longer.' Sakuno thought clutching a necklace around her neck tighly.
