Hey guys.

It's a Happy Fourth of July over here, and I am ready for action!

...

Wow that sounded lame.

ANYWAYS, I was inspired with reviews and the fireworks to make this story.

Heads up, Shikotsu finds out what she did to the team after she quit when Sakuno shows her. With enough encouragement, Shiktosu is ready to win back her love and the renewal of the Seigaku Girls!

Guest from date 7.3.12: They shall. :)

Guest from date 7.4.12: Akane and Shizuka was supposed to freak you out. :]

Reviews that gave me OCs: Thank you guys so much. You guys helped me a bunch, I owe you a chapter dedication later :).

SPECIFICALLY for OC WANTED from date 6.17.12: You have the same name as the Hikaru the gang met. That gives me a splendid idea...

Enjoy :)

Dear Ryoma,

Hikaru won't fall for me, and don't get jealous. Anyways, the result of Shikotsu's departure was the whole team's disaster. Everyone became their first priorty. Shikotsu felt really bad after what I showed her. Akane almost kicked her ... Nevermind, anways it's good to know you're safe now.

Sakuno

The morning in Tokyo was at its usual routine. Children wake up and get ready for their all day of summer play and free parents prepare that summer day with a full day with fun. Workers get their cup of cofee ready as they are on the phone with a babysitter while they are at work, then rush off on their car, a taxi, or rush through the city to their long hours at work. With all of that noise and tiring things, the sun still manages to lighten their day by rising up slowly to brighten their room through their window.

Now we move to the Ryuzaki's, a cute little room showed itself. It had a pink wallpaper, but with white variety sized polka dots covering all of it. Covering those walls, a desk was shown, topping it off was a picture snap shot of Sakuno Ryuzaki, doing a peace sign while having a fun time with her fellow teamates. Next to it was a heart shaped picture frame, with Ryoma Echizen drinking his usual Ponta while confusingly looking at Sakuno as she took the picture. On the right side of the desk, was a piles of cute little slips of lined paper, and the design was Hello Kitty. That was for the letters Sakuno writes to Ryoma every week while she's here and he's in America. Lastly, the alarm clock stood out with its colors, which was red and white.

Sakuno was neatly in he bed, hair out of long braids, her left cheek on her hot pink and blue striped pillow. The alarm clock, doing its job, shook very vibrantly and caused loud noises like fireworks, then it stopped. Sakuno blinked her eyes as she woke up from her peaceful sleep. She rose up, rubbing both her brown eyes and reached for her cell phone that had a little tennis ball key chain on her drawers right next to her little stuffed bear.

Sakuno dialed a number and held the phone to her ear as she headed to the bathroom. "Good morning Shikotsu, today let's go shopping for yukatas," Sakuno turned on the lights, "Hm? Oh, yeah, of course he is," Sakuno took out a brush as soon as he looked at her out of place hair, "Tomorrow's the festival, what could go wrong?"

From her drawers, she pulled out two black hair bands and tied them both together with her hair to make two long twin braids of her auburn hair then turned on her glass faucet to spash water in her face. Then after she grabbed the towel and wiped her face, she brushed her teeth for about five minutes...

An hour later Sakuno said her goodbyes to her family and rushed out of her house with a cute litttle panda backpack behind her back. Sakuno was wearing a yellow tank top, covered by a small sweater, buttons opened all the way. Her jeans shorts was revealed, a pretty flower was on it. She ran quickly to catch the bullet train to downtown and caught a seat.

"I knew I shouldn't have taken this train if I knew there was too much people..." Sakuno complained quietly.

Sakuno was holding on to one of th poles while a bunch of people squished against each other.

All of a sudden, a person pushed a guy near Sakuno closer. As in Sakuno was practically in his chest while the guy was hugging her while holding the pole.

"Oh I'm sorry," The guy apologized as he blushed lightly, "It's just too tight in here."

Sakuno, still blushing hard from the chest view, shook her head, "It's not a problem... That voice sounds familiar though. Hikaru?"

Sakuno then looked up and saw it actually was Hikaru and Hikaru just realized it was Sakuno. "Oh, hey Sakuno!"

"So, where are you heading?" Sakuno felt comfortable now, with more space from the last stop.

"Nowhere in particular. or maybe just to hang out. How about you?" Hikaru asked.

"I'm going to buy some yukatas for tomorrow's Summer Festival with Shikotsu-senpai." Sakuno smiled.

"So you are going to be a third year now?" Hikaru asked, scooting more and more out.

"Yeah... By the way, what school do you go to?" Sakuno asked.

"I'm becoming a first year in Seigaku!"

Sakuno was surprised and jumped to the seat. "Say what? But you look like my age... And you're taller than me!"

Hikaru shrugged. "When I was little, I drank a lot of milk I guess."

Sakuno twitched her eyebrow. "So you're only twelve?"

Hikaru nodded and smiled widely. "Yup."

Sakuno calmed down and sighed. "My stop's right here. See you around I guess."

Hikaru waved goodbye as Sakuno skipped off, and then ran down the stairs.

Shikotsu stepped her foot to pass the time. "She's late."

Shikotsu looked at her watch and then heard her name shouted. "Shikotsu-senpai!"

Sakuno jumped at Shikotsu's side, causing her to slide. "Sorry I'm late."

Shikotsu grabbed Sakuno's wrist. "Come on... I really want to get a cute yukata."

"Yeah I knew he was twelve Sakuno." Shikotsu nodded outside the fitting room stall door, posing at the mirrors.

"That's insane, he's like two inches taller than me!" Sakuno complained.

"Sakuno," Shikotsu sighed, "Don't worry, you're perfect size."

"I wasn't talking about that!" Sakuno's vein popped as she snapped.

Shikotsu chuckled and asked, "Can you come out so I can see your yukata?"

Sakuno opened the stall door and walked slowly out.

Her hair was still in braids but, her yukata was dark purple for a start. Then, it had lavender blossoms and flowers blooming, and a sash was was a light indigo. A ribbon tied itself perfectly to the back and a flower was in Sakuno's hand.

"That flower is for the hair." The shop clerk informed.

"Alright," Shikotsu smiled and winked, "My turn."

Shikotsu ran into the dressing room, and then made Sakuno wait a while, suspiciously.

"Shikotsu," Sakuno smirked, "What are you doing?"

Shikotsu breathed heavily, "Y-You know just being me... Hehe."

Sakuno rushed in and forcefully pulled Shikotsu out.

Shikotsu was wearing a light pink yukata covered by sakura blossoms to the sides tied by a small blossomed sash. Of course it came with a pink flower.

"Oh my you look so cute!" Sakuno squealed.

Shikotsu flustered and argued, "I didn't even pick this one you switched it!"

"And I made the right choice!" Sakuno laughed.
