When Syusuke told me about Echizen's immoral love for his twin sister, I already knew it. I could clearly see it in their eyes that they both love this certain innocent, shy girl.
Syusuke confronted Echizen about it much to my dismay. I knew he was right when he told me that their indecent love must be stopped but either way we knew that they'll suffer. I wonder what would Echizen will do to protect Sakuno from further pain.
Ryoma had conceded and admitted to Syusuke that he's inlove with Sakuno. Syusuke reminded him that his love is immoral and they'll be condemn by other people if they would find out. Ryoma knew it and he said he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Sakuno even if himself.
"You know well that it shouldn't be nurtured, Ryoma." I told him one day referring to his love to his sister.
"I know." he replied with his eyes covered by his trademark cap. I looked at him sternly and sighed. It would be hard for them to let go.
Starting then, Ryoma started to make a gap between him and Sakuno. He was trying his best to concentrate and focus on tennis. Sakuno, on the other hand became much more active on the music club. Though it was obvious, they tried to make a gap to each other and do the things normal, the pain and sadness in their eyes can't be denied. Many days had passed and it seemed that they're starting to move on and forget about their love.
It was a great year for the Seigaku tennis club. We'd won the Nationals against Rikkai Dai. We were overjoyed by the victory. Ryoma won the match against the proclaimed demi-god of tennis of Rikkai Dai, Yukimura Seiichi. It was unbelievable though that after the Nationals, Yukimura Seiichi befriended Echizen Sakuno. Ryoma was startled by this. It was the first time Sakuno became so close to another guy aside from him. When the school year ended, Echizen twins declared that they both planned to go back in America. Sakuno informed us that she'll not join Ryoma when he comes back to Japan. Their parents had decided to seek medical experts to improve her health. She wouldn't attend Seigaku anymore and Ryoma will be left in Japan to continue his studies. The day of their departure arrived, Yukimura appeared and bid goodbye to Sakuno but apparently, he confessed to her and it made the Echizens shocked in surprise.
Ryoma stiffened and Sakuno noticed it. She gave him a worried and I saw her slipped her hand on his. He gave her a confused look and she smiled.
"Arigatou, Yukimura-san." she said to Yukimura. "But I'm still young and haven't considered dating yet." she added with a smile.
"Of course, Echizen-chan. I understand." Yukimura replied casually.
The Twins left Japan and after a month Ryoma came back to attend Seigaku. I graduated from middle school and decided to attend Seigaku High with Syusuke. The other graduated regulars before had also decided to attend the same school. Kaidou became the captain of Seigaku Tennis Club after me with Momoshiro as his vice captain.
A week after Ryoma's arrival, Momoshiro paid a visit to us at Seigaku High. He told us how weird was Ryoma since he came back. He was distracted and losing focus in his games. He wouldn't confide to Momo when Momo asked him what's wrong. Momo asked for help to us. Syusuke told me to accompany him after our class to talk with Ryoma. I agreed maybe he would spill out something important that bothers him.
We visited the Echizen Residence and talk to him. His cousin was kind enough to let us go to his room in our own. We saw him awkwarly lying on his bed with his eyes closed.
"Ryoma." Syusuke called. Ryoma opened his eyes and saw us standing in his door. He sat up and brushed his dishevelled green locks with his hand.
"Tezuka-senpai. Fuji-senpai." he said.
He let us sat to the near couch in his room. He yawned and a white fluffy cat moved in his lap. He touched the cat and looked at it with lazy eyes.
"Momo told us what's happening to you so we decided to pay a visit." Syusuke said.
"I'm fine, senpai." Ryoma replied.
"Tell us what happened to you and to Sakuno at America." I told him.
Ryoma looked at me and his clenched in his lap.
"We were fine. It was just I told her I'm going to be busy so she shouldn't expect anything from me." Ryoma said.
Syusuke opened his eyes revealing his cerulean orbs on Ryoma. "Stop being a jerk, Ryoma. You told me you wouldn't allow yourself to hurt her but you did. Be considerate, at least be a good brother on her." Syusuke told him. I could see, Syusuke is still in love with Ryoma's sister. He was also turned down by Sakuno before and asked him to stay as her friend. I held his arm to inform him to calm down. He nodded at me and sighed.
"He's right, Ryoma. Be a good brother to Sakuno." I said.
We decided to leave. Less talk, but it was meaningful. I knew Ryoma understood cleary what we really want to tell. He looked depress but we all know he have to move on and certainly he did.
Two years had passed, Ryoma graduated from Seigaku middle school and decided to join his senpais at Seigaku High. He was much better but then he was colder than before. He hadn't associated himself to any girl after Sakuno left. Though it was known to everyone that Osakada Tomoka, Sakuno's bestfriend is madly inlove with him.
What was surprising back then was when Sakuno appeared to the grounds of Seigaku High. She was looking for Ryoma and when he saw her, shock was written all over his face. He hadn't seen her for a long time and it would be the first time that he saw her after she left. True, Ryoma had frequently went abroad for his international tennis matches but he hadn't visited her in LA.
She smiled at him. Sakuno was more lovelier and prettier than before. Surely, it would cause men to turn their attention to her. Ryoma approached her and looked at her sternly.
"Since when did you came back?" we heard him asked her.
"An hour ago. I'm going to stay here in Japan frow now on." she replied with a smile.
And so Sakuno started to attend Seigaku High. As I expected, her suitors had started to sprout everywhere. It was just she's lucky that Ryoma was there to fend off their advances on her. He was like a deadly mongrel that is ready to kill you and torn your limbs into pieces.
But she wasn't happy. I could see it in her eyes. The way she looked at him with sadness in her eyes made me wonder why. What could be the problem?
Then one day, I was about to leave the tennis courts when I saw Ryoma practicing with the wall. Sakuno was standing a good distance from him. She was crying and yelling at him but I couldn't hear what she was saying. He stopped and looked back at her. She sobbed silently waiting to his words.
He uttured some words to her and she was instantly shocked at his remark. She covered her mouth with her shaking hands. She ran away from him and I noticed the tears falling in her brown eyes.
Could it be? Could it be that they're still in love with each other?

Preview to the Next Chapter:
My last two years without Sakuno was lifeless. It lessen the complication but my love for her still remains. She is the only girl I loved and it is hard for me to left her behind and see her crying because of me.
How I wished I could kiss those tears away and console her into my arms. How I wished I could say how much I love her. But I couldn't. I couldn't take her with me into eternal damnation.
Sakuno... I love you... I'm sorry...
Chapter 5: Echizen Ryoma

A/n: I'm so sorry. I updated too late and it is too short. I'm kinda busy lately and a little lazy. But oh, don't worry, I don't have any plan to put this on hiatus or discontinuing. Btw, I want to inform you that the next chapter would have some sensual scenes probably sexual hints between Ryoma and Sakuno. I should warn you. This story has immoral and indecent themes that other teen readers wouldn't like. Though it isn't strongly implied or anything.
Thank you for reading the chapter 4 of Darkest Flower. Please don't forget to leave reviews. Reviews are very much appreciated.
