Yo!
I bring you chapter 4 today. Hopefully you will like it! Enjoy! Oh yeah here's another random story… during Filipino class when I looked outside the window, I saw someone wearing a Seigaku jacket pass by…and I freaked out, well kinda. Thanks for the reviews!!
Disclaimer: I do not own The Prince of Tennis… but I do own the random guys in the play.
Previously:
"A-about t-the play…d-did you f-finish memorizing y-your lines?" Sakuno asked out of the blue
"A little" Ryoma replied plainly.
"A-ah ok" Sakuno said as she put her chopsticks down and packed up her bento "I-I have to g-go now!" Sakuno said while bowing "J-Ja! And g-goodluck w-with the lines!" with that remark she left the rooftop.
'I wonder why she not so affected by the fact that she's playing Juliet…'
"Ja, and you too." Ryoma said softly as he had sudden flashbacks of what happened during his surprise party. He smiled at the thoughts and put his hand in his pocket a pulled a well hand made bracelet with wooden beads on it. "The luck's all in here."
In the theater room…
"Horio!" the teacher shouted.
"Yeah?"
"You will enter after the narration, do you understand?" the teacher said in a commanding voice
"Hai!" Horio replied. In this play Horio was a character named Gregory a servant of the family of Capulet.
"From the top!"
"Hai!" everyone said.
"The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." The narrator said. Horio and another boy entered the stage…
"Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals."
"No, for then we should be colliers." Horio said slowly since he's not used to this kind of talking, plus he only memorized his line just a few hours ago…
"I mean, an' we be in choler, we'll draw."
Meanwhile…backstage…
Ryoma sat on a chair, put his elbow on the desk and his hand on his chin and sighed. "This is so boring." he remarked. He looked around hoping to find something to do but to no avail. Instead what he did see was Sakuno reading through her lines again. 'How many times has she gone through her lines?!' Ryoma said in his mind.
"How now! Who calls?" he heard her say. "Madam, I am here. What is your will?" Ryoma just sighed at the sight…
"RYOMA, SAKUNO!" the director called out.
"Hai!" they both said.
(A/N: I'm going to skip the rest of the scenes…)
DING DONG!!
"Okay, well good work everyone, we'll polish act one tomorrow" the director said while fiddling with the papers. "Make sure to memorize your lines" he said looking intently at Horio.
"Hai!" Horio replied.
"Okay dismissed!"
Dismissal…
Ryoma exited the theater room in a big relief, and as sure as heck he hated acting. He headed for the tennis courts, as he went to the clubroom to change…
'Why's the door locked?' Ryoma wondered. Then the answer popped into his head. 'Right…I forgot that we don't have any club activities…' Ryoma thought as he sighed. He made his way back to the entrance of Seigaku so that he could go to the park and play his beloved tennis.
At the entrance of Seigaku…
Sakuno was leaning on the wall waiting for Tomoka to arrive, since Tomoka was assigned to putting back all the things they've used in the practice together with some other people. 'She's taking so long!' Sakuno complained. As she closed he eyes and sighed, she suddenly heard footsteps. She opened her eyes to find Ryoma looking intently at her.
"R-Ryoma k-kun!" Sakuno said in a bit of a shock
"Who are you waiting for?" Ryoma asked
"Ah! T-Tomoka asked me t-to w-wait f-f-for her." Sakuno replied while twiddling her fingers.
"Hn." Ryoma replied. Then he heard a familiar voice shouting…
"RYOMA-KUN!"
"Uh-oh" Ryoma said under his breath. He grabbed Sakuno's wrist as he started running taking Sakuno with him.
"R-Ryoma-kun! W-where are we going?" Sakuno exclaimed. Ryoma ignored her for the moment until they got to a safe spot.
"Sorry." Ryoma said as he let go of Sakuno's hand. 'The same as last time.'
Flashback…
"Hn." Ryoma 'replied' as he faced Sakuno then took a hold of her hand and started walking.
"R-Ryoma-kun, where are we going?" Sakuno asked while blushing at the sudden action of Ryoma.
"I'm walking you home." Ryoma replied with a little bit of coldness in it.
'I never thought hands could be this soft and smooth' Ryoma thought as he continued to hold her hand.
Present…
"I'm taking you home." Ryoma said sternly deciding to imitate what he did last time.
"B-but…" Sakuno said protesting.
"No 'buts.'" Ryoma said grabbing Sakuno's' hand. He then started walking. Sakuno blushed at his sudden action, but said nothing about it.
While they were walking, they passed by the park and saw a very familiar little girl playing with a man.
"Chelsea-chan?" Sakuno exclaimed. The little girl turned around and realized who just called her name.
"SAKUNO-SAN!!" she exclaimed running to Sakuno.
"Long time, no see Chelsea-chan!" Sakuno said crouching down to Chelsea's level.
"Hai!" Chelsea replied happily. "Who's that with you?" she said noticing a boy with a white cap behind Sakuno.
"Oh! This is Ryoma-kun." Sakuno started introducing "R-Ryoma-kun this i-is Chelsea-chan."
"Nice to meet you Ryoma-kun!"
"Hn." Ryoma replied
Chelsea didn't like that answer from him. She frowned at this and suddenly had an idea.
"Ah! I heard that you and Sakuno-san would be playing Romeo and Juliet!" Chelsea exclaimed out loud. When the two heard this, their eyes went as wide as plates…maybe even wider…
"W-where did you hear that?" Sakuno asked still a bit shocked.
"He told me!" Chelsea said pointing to a man behind her who was holding a stuffed toy. Sakuno and Ryoma didn't notice him until now, it's like he just popped out of nowhere.
"Yeah it must have slipped out my mouth." The man said in a very familiar voice. He stepped closer to Ryoma and Sakuno.
"F-Fuji-senpai?!" both of them exclaimed
"Ah! So you know each other?" Chelsea asked Fuji
"Hai Chelsea-chan, they're my schoolmates."
"But how do you know each other?" Sakuno wondered
"You see…" Fuji started
Flashback…
Fuji was walking back to his house early since there was no tennis practice. He passed by the park, while he was passing by he heard some kids…
"Gimme my teddy back!" Chelsea exclaimed.
"Catch it if you can!" a boy said throwing it to the other boy
"Haha!" the other boy laughed until someone appeared behind him and got the teddy bear.
"You shouldn't bully little girls." the man said in a scary tone.
"Ah! Gomen!" the boys said as they ran. Chelsea ran to the man.
"Arigatou!" she said smiling
"No problem." the man said patting her head.
"Um, what is your name sir?"
"Fuji." Fuji said smiling
"Ah I'm Chelsea!"
Present...
"So that's what happened." Sakuno whispered to herself.
"Awwww… Ryoma-kun and Sakuno-chan are in love," Chelsea exclaimed "Cuz they're playing as Rome and Juliet!!"
"A-ah! N-no!!" They both reacted.
"Ryoma-kun and Sakuno-chan!!" Chelsea said grinning.
"Now, now…" Fuji said. "I think those two had enough, why don't we leave them alone and get some ice cream?"
"Hai!" Chelsea said happily "Fuji-nii-chan, can I get chocolate?"
"Sure, sure" Fuji said while walking away with Chelsea, leaving the two behind shocked.
"I'm going to get him back some time…" Ryoma said growling a little. "Let's get going."
"H-Hai!" Sakuno said
A few minutes later, In front of Sakuno's house…
"T-thanks for w-walking me back R-Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno said bowing
"Hn." Ryoma replied
"Well I-I better g-get inside n-now!!" Sakuno said turning around. She suddenly felt Ryoma's breath on her neck. "R-Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno exclaimed. Sakuno felt a light peck on her cheek.
"Ja" Ryoma whispered to her ear. Sakuno was still stunned by this and said nothing. When she finally got back to her senses she turned around only to find Ryoma had already left.
'R-Ryoma-kun…'' Sakuno thought as she entered her house.
