A/N: Hello sorry for taking a couple days to get this chapter up here, I was sick and when typing I kept loosing my train of thought everyonce anywhile making concentration a little hard. So I posted the first two chapters to another story that I had typed up awhile ago. Though just because I have another story going doesn't mean, I'll abandon this one or get slow on updates, being sick is the only factor that will keep me from letting you guys down and taking a bit to update

Chapter 4

"Hey…. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING GIVE ME THAT!" Tomoka's voice was loud as she dived over a colorful block castle and on to a squirming little kid who was trying to eat a phones antenna. Tomoka's hand gripped around the gray plastic and ripped it out of the boy's tiny fingers. "Sakuno… I'll be there in a few minutes"

"Tomo-chan, are you sure?" Sakuno questioned as she played with the hemline of a pale blue dress. The light cotton draped over the ginger haired girl's petite body. Her brown eyes examined her reflection in the mirror, "When I called I just wanted to know what you think we might be doing in the park, I didn't expect that you … OW" Sakuno was cut off as her best friend tugged at one of her pig tail braids and started to un braid them.

"Sakuno, Trust me…" Was all Tomoka muttered as she swatted away her friend's hand, which was desperately trying to stop the girl from undoing her braids. Tomoka undid each braid, to unleash curly hair caused by the braids. Tomoka paused for a moment studying her friend and then quickly reached into a drawer in Sakuno's vanity. She pulled out a silver clip which she used to pull back half of the girl's ginger hair, and let the rest of the curly hair frame her shoulders and running down her back.

Sakuno took a breath in as she looked at the girl in the mirror… it couldn't possibly be her.

"Momo-Chan-Sen… I mean Momo-chan" The words reached the regular ears; he recognized the voice and his violet eyes searched the sidewalk for the girl he was waiting for. He let out a sigh when he didn't see her, though he was sure he had heard her voice. "Momo-chan?" A slight tugging came to at his white T-shirt sleeve and he looked next to him, and was positive that his eyes popped out. The girl that stood beside him looked nothing like the girl that stood outside the tennis courts. She looked so much older, so much more mature, and so much more…. Well gorgeous. Echizen sure shouldn't have let her walk away.

Sakuno blinked up at the tall figure whose violet eyes stared wide-eyed down upon her, "Momo-chan?" She asked again blushing slightly as he openly gawked at her.

"Sakuno…" Momoshiro muttered and then shook his head. Trying to rid himself of the thoughts that started creeping into the back of his mind. He bowed his head to her and then smiled up at the ginger haired girl. "You're late…" He said teasingly.

"Oh Gomen, Tomo-chan she wouldn't let me leave in time to get here in time" Sakuno said and a deep blush covered her pale cheeks.

"No need to apologize, It's understandable, now for our walk in the park" Momo said with small smile and offered her his arm. Sakuno blushed slightly and assiduously looped her arm through his arm and placed her fingers on his elbow softly.

Momo let out a laugh at her shy nature, which he had grown accustom to around the tennis courts, and then led her through the gates and into the park.

The walk through the park was peaceful and nice, after a while Sakuno loosened up, though not much, and began to laugh at some of Momoshiro's jokes. Every once in awhile blushing as she caught him staring at her as she nervously tried to retell a story about her Grandmother, or Tomoka, or when he caught her staring at him for a few seconds longer then she should have.

Momoshiro led her out of the park and offered to walk her home since it was getting late and he didn't want to get her in trouble for staying out so late. Sakuno agreed to his offer and was led to her home by the hand. Her brown eyes landed upon the connected hands and blushed not remembering when there hands had connected in that intimate manner on their walk around the park.

As they reached the pathway that led Sakuno's house they said they're good byes and Sakuno was shocked by the fact that Momo leaned down and kissed her cheek lightly before heading off into the night. She was even more shocked by the fact that she had liked it and the color of crimson that spread across his face as he walked away.

"Kikumaru you seen Sakuno around?" Momoshiro asked as he hit the tennis ball back to his teammate, warming up for their morning practice. Eiji shrugged as he easily whacked it back to his fellow regular.

"No, What's it to you though? I bet she's just running a little behind." Eiji added to his shrug as he shifted to his left with ease to hit the ball that Momo just sent his way. "You worried about our little Occhibi? Are ya?" Eiji asked but stopped and caught the tennis ball in his hand as he watched Momo's face flare a deep red. "Momo?"

"Uh well no, I sort of hung out with her in the park last night. And I just wanted to talk to her about it." Eiji laughed at Momoshiro swearing he had never seen him so uncomfortable in his life.

"Well she's over there," Eiji said as he stuck his finger in the direction of the ginger haired girl who was chattering away with her friend Tomoka.

"Hey wait a minute you said she wasn't he-" Momo began but was cut off by a gentle whack in the back of the head with a racquet by a smiling brunette.

"Well Eiji and I saw you last night at the park and we wanted an answer, " Kikumaru laughed and came up behind Momo and smacked in the back of the head with a racquet too.

"Hey! Stop that!" Momoshiro yelled at Eiji and Fuji as he started to jog away from them towards the chattering pigtail braided girl.

"Sakuno look!" Tomoka said and turned to point at Momoshiro who was exiting the courts and heading their way. "You can tell me the rest later in class!" And with that Tomoka went running off towards the other side of the courts to watch the regulars in action.

"Um okay Tomo-chan" Sakuno muttered as her brown orbs fell upon Momoshiro who was now standing behind her. "Um Hello M-Momo-chan" Sakuno muttered nervously, the nights events replayed in her mind. And an odd sensation poured over her as she looked up at him, something that she hadn't felt before towards this tennis player.

"Hey Sakuno-chan mind if I talk to you for a moment?" Momoshiro asked and looked down at the girl who nodded shyly and blushed a small shade of pink. "Alright," He said and placed a large hand on her back and led her between two bushes growing against the wall of the school, a place to hide from the eyes he could feel staring at the pair.

"Momo-chan?" Sakuno asked after a moment of standing in between the bushes in silence. Momoshiro's hand slid down her arm and landed on her small hand for a moment playing with her fingers before blushing and pulling his hand away after realizing he hadn't spoken a word yet.

"Well Sakuno I was wondering if you wouldn't mind…" His voice trailed off for a moment as he realized how close he was to the girl, her back was almost against the school and his hands barely brushed against her and their bodies were inches apart. This wasn't part of my plan… I wasn't supposed to start falling for her. Momo's violet eyes dropped to her lips as she mouthed word yes, as if wanting him to continue. "If we could um do that again"

Sakuno's face flared pink at the question but found herself nodding and wanting to have another night like the one last night. Normally her eyes would dart to the ground embarrassed but somehow her eyes would not leave his enchanting violet eyes. Her blush deepened as she realized that their heads were getting closer and before she it, there lips touched.

Momoshiro wasn't sure what was happening to him, but as she nodded her head something inside of him took over as he looked into her eyes and before he knew it he had leaned down and kissed her. Reality hit the moment their lips touch and he was about to pull way when something odd happened, he felt her gently kissing him back. He paused for a moment pulling back away from the kiss tilting his head and found her face a deep red as she boldly placed a tender hand around his neck and kissed him.

For a moment the world disappeared but reality came crashing in on them when there was a loud thud. Momoshiro quickly pulled away from the girl to see the dent in the wall and a Tennis ball bouncing away, from where it came centimeters to hitting him in the head. Momoshiro whirled around to have his eyes meet narrowed golden feline eyes.
