-Young Willow-
-Summary-
Sakuno confessed to Ryoma on the last day of school. Ryoma rejected her hurting her deeply. They meet again on the first day of high school. What will happen next? [RyoSaku]
Hey everybody! I'm so sorry I'm late! The Sunday I was going to write this chapter, I got preoccupied with a new game that I had gotten and then the last week, I was busy with homework but I have chapter 4 here for you now. This is in 1st person point of view. I know I said I would alternate but I feel that this chapter would be better in POVs so that's what I'm doing. Ryoma might still be a bit OOC but I'm trying my best here. Let me know what you think! :)
**Disclaimer: I don't own PoT just a huge fan.
Ryoma POV
"Ryuzaki...?'
I looked up at the auburn hair girl.
Earlier That Day
I had come to school early to that I could think in peace about what I might have done to Ryuzaki? Then I started thinking about the time when she yelled at me for being late. I wasn't there in time so the team had to register us with Horio had my stand-in. Afterwards, Horio started bragging again and got challenged to a match by someone stronger than him. When I had arrived, I wouldn't help Horio hoping he would learn his lesson, but then Ryuzaki yelled at me that the situation happened all because I was late. Ryuzaki was shy but she wasn't a scaredy cat. She was never afraid of me before, even when others might have been. In the middle of reminiscing the past, I had fallen asleep under the rising sun.
While I was napping, I had many dreams about junior high. I remember the Seigaku regulars and the games we played, the trio cheering squad, as well as the 2 girls that always came along; Ryuzaki and the loudmouth who's name I can't remember. I remember the time when I was losing and Ryuzaki, the quiet girl, started a cheer just for me. That made me very happy though I would never admit it. Then I remember the last day of school. Ryuzaki had confessed to me. I really did only want to focus on tennis but over the summer I kept thinking about her, I wanted to talk to her again and I was really happy when we not only got in the same class, we also ended up sitting next to one another. But she avoids me now. What should I do?
While I was pondering this problem, I felt a tug on my head. A small, soft hand was timidly touching my head. I wonder who it is? I slowly opening my eyes and saw Ryuzaki. She seemed so happy that I was tempted to pretend I was still sleeping but I wanted to talk to her. "Ryuzaki?" Her eyes widen, she face turned red, and she snatched her hand away. She started to run from me but I grabbed onto her wrist.
Sakuno POV
"Ryuzaki?"
I snatched my hand away when I heard him call me name. My face started to flame and I jumped out of my seat. I started to run but he caught my hand."Ryoma-kun, onegai! Please let me go." Tears started to fill my eyes. Ryoma-kun seemed surprised by my tears but his grip didn't loosen. "Onegai Ryoma-kun."
"Yada!"
I was surprised. He never raised his voice. At least never with me. I started to cry and I drop to my knees. Ryoma-kun got out of his seat and walked to me. "Ryuzaki don't cry." I didn't listen and continued to sob. Ryoma-kun didn't know what to do. Suddenly I felt myself being pulled, gently pulled into his embrace. My eyes widen and I stopped crying. I slowly lifted my face to look at him. I didn't expect to see what I did. He's blushing. I just wanted to wrap my arms around him. I felt so safe in his arms. I looked into his eyes as he looked into mine. He looked so deeply into my eyes as if he was searching for something. I wonder what he's trying to find? He looks hurt. Who hurt him? "Ryuzaki," hearing his voice, I came out of my daze. "Hai?"
"..."
"Gomen ne, I couldn't hear you."
"Why do you avoid me?" he muttered quietly.
"I'm not avoiding you," I lied.
"Uso-tsuki!" He let go of me and stood up and walked out of the room.
What was that about? I started to blush as I remembered his strong arms holding me. Oh Ryoma-kun...
This is the end of chapter 4. Ok, I know that I'm repeating with Ryoma's POV over and over with the "I don't know what I did" thing but he really is suppose to be that dense, so bare with me for now. Anyway, leave a review. I love to hear what you think or PM me with any advice you might have or if you just want to chat! ;)
