Chapter 4

Sakuno brought her hand up to her mouth and she wanted to cry. She didn't mean for that kiss to happen and now she wished she never went on the date.

"W-what do I do?" she asked herself as tears began to fall.

"Go after him." A kind voice said from behind.

She turned to see Tezuka with his arms crossed over his chest.

"T-Tezuka-senpai?"

"Go get him." Fuji came into view.

"Yeah, save Ochibi." Kikumaru said with a smile.

"Go," Oishi nodded his head in the direction Ryoma left in.

"You have a 98 percent chance he'll forgive you." Inui flashed his glasses.

"You have a hundred percent! Burning!" Taka yelled.

"Good Luck." Kaidoh said.

"You're the only one who can get him back now." Momo touched her shoulder. He gave her a gentle nudge in the right direction.

"Arigatou senpais." Sakuno bowed to them and ran off; knowing Ryoma had a huge head start.

"I hope he forgives her." Oishi said.

"Oh, he will." Fuji's smile widened. "No one can stay mad at that girl, she's just too cute. Now the one I'm worried about is Tooyama-san."

"Why?" Taka asked.

Because he kissed Sakuno-chan in front of Ochibi." Eiji laughed. "I'm scared for him next week."

"That and he wasn't suppose to." Fuji replied.

"Suppose to?" Momo asked.

"Of course," Fuji turned and opened his eyes a little. "I talked to Tooyama and he offered to help me get those two together. Mind you, he asked her out on his own. I just gave him a warning."

"You sly fox." Kaidoh laughed, surprising them. "And you wanted us to play him here so he would see them together."

"You know me to well." Fuji laughed.

"What do you think, Tezuka, will Echizen forgive her?" Momo asked.

Tezuka looked at the place where the younger teens just ran off and, actually, smiled. When he turned to the group they almost gasped in shock.

"Theirs is absolutely no doubt in my mind." Was all he said and walked off. But when he was a good distance away he paused and looked back with a glare. He said, "Oh, and leave them alone or you'll run a hundred laps around the school, got it?" They nodded and he left.

"Well there go my plans." Eiji sighed.

"Come on let's go to my dad's place for sushi, on the house." Taka offered.

"Alright!" Eiji and Momo yelled and headed off.

"You coming Kaidoh?" Inui asked.

"Nah, I've got somewhere I have to be." Kaidoh replied with a hiss.

"Oh, well good luck with Osakada-chan." And with that Inui left a blushing Kaidoh.

Sakuno ran faster, pushing her legs to the limit and more. Thank god for her tennis practice. She had always pushed herself and raised her limit higher and now she was very thankful for doing so.

"Ryoma-kun!" she yelled when she saw his retreating back off in the distance. He just kept walking. 'Ryoma-kun please wait.' She thought running faster.

'Go away. Just go away.' The prince thought as he walked onto his fenced property.

"Ryoma-kun," her voice sounded soft and tired.

He turned and saw her standing in the gate way. One hand on her chest, her cheeks were red and she was breathing deeply. Kami she was beautiful.

"Please…" she began.

"No, now go away." He turned away and started to enter his house.

"I'm sorry!" she yelled and he turned to yell at her but found her walking up to him and she put her face into her hands and started to cry.

"Ryuzaki," he stared but stopped when she leaned forward and cried into his chest.

She mumbled something he couldn't hear.

"What?"

Sakuno stepped back and wiped her eyes.

"I-I said I'm sorry." She looked at him. "I should have never accepted his date then he would have never kissed me. I didn't know he was going to do that."

"Ryuzaki," Ryoma started again.

"You were right. I am too innocent; I just didn't want to believe it." She started to cry again. "Kami, I am so stupid."

"Shut up!" Ryoma yelled.

She looked at him in shock.

"Just… shut up." He stepped up to her and touched her cheek. "Sakuno, you had every right to date him and kiss him. It's not my call."

"I didn't kiss him, he kissed me." She looked away. "So you-you never really cared if I went on a date with him?"

"Hell fuckin' no." He growled. "I cared. Hell I wanted to kill him for just thinking about it. Now I want to torture him to death for kissing you. I care for you more than I should."

"R-Ryoma?" her eyes widened.

"I'm the stupid one." Ryoma frowned. "I knew you liked me but I pushed you away. I'm sorry. I was mean to you and a real asshole."

"Ryoma," Tears began to fall again.

"Shit, please don't cry again. I hate seeing you cry." He wiped away the tears. "If I'm the one causing them I'll go away and never bother you again."

"No, Ryoma-kun." She smiled. "I don't ever want you to go away again."

"Good," he leaned in closer. "I don't think I could ever do that." He whispered before he kissed her. And his kiss was passionate.

Sakuno closed her eyes and kissed her prince back with the same amount of passion and love. She protested when he pulled away but didn't go far.

"And I don't think I could be calm if I saw anyone else kiss you, My Sakuno." He smirked.

"I… I love you Ryoma-ku-" he cut her off with his lips.

"No more of that honorific. Just Ryoma." He kissed her again. "I love you too, Sakuno." He said while wrapping one arm around her waist.

The next kiss was more passionate and heated. She gasped when she felt Ryoma lick her bottom lip. When his tongue entered her mouth she felt a spark of fire start in her abdomen. Sakuno leaned into him and moaned, wanting more of him, all of him.
