DISCLAIMER: Konomi Takeshi-sensei's The Prince of Tennis. Not mine.

Chapter 11: Reunion: Indirect Kisses

Chapter Summary: They almost spent the time together… for that very short time. It was so embarrassing now that Capella was with them.

Japanese bread, Japanese curry, Japanese riceballs-a Japanese tennis riceballs to be exact. And an average chocolate cake for dessert. That was the content of his bento she gave him. He looked at the girl who was sitting across him. The girl was blushing really hard. He smirked when he saw that.

"You prepared everything, huh?" Ryoma commented and then he looked at the tennis riceballs, "And what's with this?"

Sakuno looked down as she fidgeted her fingers under the table, "R-remember the tennis riceballs I was about to give you during the Nationals… t-three years ago?"

Ryoma tried to remember, "The one that the thief ruined?"

"T-that's it! E-even though, it was ruined… K-kin-chan still ate it."

"hmm," He just said. That was the first time Sakuno met Kintarou in an unusual way. But deep inside him, he didn't like their first encounter. He was still on his own reverie when the girl talked;

"I-I wonder what is Kin-chan's doing right now? I haven't seen him-"

"Let's eat." He butted as he picked his chopstick and started digging in.

Sakuno was a little surprised on his action. He stopped her from talking about Kintarou. It was odd of him. She stared at the boy who was eating. She flinched when the boy talked;

"You are not going to eat?"

Sakuno shook her hands in front of him, "n-no I-I ate before I came here. I-I am not hungry at all." To her surprise, Ryoma pushed the cake in front of her. She was a bit shocked on his action.

"Eat with me."

"B-but that's my-"

"Share it with me then."

She blushed once again. She picked the spoon that was on the plate and took a bite of the cake before Ryoma would get mad at her. It was the cake that she baked but it felt really delicious when she ate it. The thought that she was sharing it with the prince made it more delicious. After a several bites she felt thirsty. She stood up and said;

"I-I'll buy us some ponta." Before Ryoma could stop her she ran to the counter and bought two cans of ponta. Good thing that there were few students there and she barely knew by them. She was really thankful of that. She went back to their table. Ryoma was eating the cake when she dropped the can near him.

"You're good at making this." He said indicating the cake.

She blushed as she thanked the boy. She blushed even more when she stared at the spoon he used for the cake. T-that was the spoon that I used. She fidgeted once again. Before he could notice her, she opened her can and drank it.

Not before, Ryoma finished digging his bento and as well as the can of ponta. The boy was still thirsty and she noticed that.

"A-are you still thirsty? I-I'll buy you another."

"That's fine."

"Eh?"

Ryoma looked at her ponta. There were still left in it, "Aren't you going to finish yours?"

"M-mine?"

"If there were some left in it, I'll finish it."

She stared at him and said, "T-that's fine. Y-you can have… it."

It was too late for her to take her words back. The boy grabbed her can and hoisted it to his lips. She was blushing all over and looked down. H-he did it again. I-it was an… indirect… k-kiss. She flinched when the boy talked. He was done with the can.

"Let's go back."

Sakuno nodded.

They walked back to the court but no one said a word. Not after a minute before they reached the court. They saw Capella ran towards them. Before they went on separate ways, Ryoma whispered to her;

"Thanks, that was delicious."

She was shocked on his words. The boy was walking ahead of her, with his hands in his pockets. He was being surrounded by his senpais the moment he entered the court. Capella held her hand and gestured her to go inside as well.

"What took you two so long, Ochibi?" Eiji asked the tennis prince.

"They were busy with their date." Momo said teasing the boy.

Ryoma just closed his eyes and continued walking to the court. The regulars stared at him.

"He's not going to deny it?" Fuji wondered making the boy hear it. The boy looked at his shoulder.

Inui and Oishi just nodded to each other. Eiji and Momo kept bugging the boy much to his annoyance. Sakuno was busy talking to her grandma and to the tennis Captain. Capella went to the court and tried swinging Eiji's racket. The acrobatic player just laughed on his actions. There were busy with their own activities when someone shouted from the outside;

"BURNING!"

Capella was frightened. He dropped the racket instantly and ran to her side, "S-Sakuno-onee-chan!" He hugged her tightly.

She smiled helplessly to the boy. She looked around to see Kawamura entering the court. The powerhouse player went outside to bring sushi for that special day. It was for her arrival to her surprise. She learned that Kawamura was opening his own business and he was playing with them sometimes. It was perfect that he was there at such time. She looked at the frightened kid and said;

"Daijoubu da yo, Capella-kun," She patted his head as she bent over, "He is like that when he is holding his racket."

Capella looked at her with uncertainty. Fuji saw how scared the little boy was. He smiled and went over to the other regulars who were having a hard time to get the racket from Kawamura. To everyone's surprised, he just swiftly took the racket from him that easily. Kawamura returned to his old self. Fuji looked at their direction.

"Capella-kun, everything is fine now." Fuji smiled making everyone there sweat dropped. Capella was looking all cute as he stared at the tennis tensai. Later on, the little boy went near Fuji started playing with him.

Sakuno went to the club room and saw Tomoka and her grandmother inside.

"Did you have fun?" Tomoka asked her.

She nodded bashfully, "I really missed the school."

"Come back here then." Tomoka suggested.

"I hope I can. But my parents will not allow me." She became sad after saying that.

Sumire saw that. She knew that she was still adjusting to her new life. She couldn't pronounce the words 'parents' properly yet. Having that thought brought pain to her inside as well.

"Where are you studying then? Her best friend asked her again.

"T-they provided me a tutor at the mansion so that I can catch up with my lessons."

Tomoka was shocked, "My, you're a caged princess."

"Tell me that you didn't say that," Sakuno looked at her, "I am happy that Capella-kun and Fakir-kun are there to keep me company. Oh and there's Ahiru-chan as well."

"Who's that?" Sumire asked her this time.

Sakuno blushed as she said her next words, "M-my personal… maid."

The two blinked…er three… and then one reacted,

"EHH! Ryuzaki-chi has a personal maid! Sugoi ne!" Eiji was the one who reacted.

Sumire looked at the window, "Eiji quit eavesdropping, get back to practice."

"Mou! But Sensei, can we at least interrogate her a bit more?" Eiji pleaded.

"Go back to practice if you don't want to run a hundred laps."

Eiji became alerted, "H-hai. I'll go back now." He ran as he said that.

Sakuno giggled because of Eiji actions, "They are keeping me company there," she continued and looked at Capella, "so that I won't be lonely."

The two just looked at her, and then Tomoka spoke as she held her hands, "Come on. I know you'll miss us too."

She stared at her for while before giving her a smile, "You're right, that's why I am here."

"Sakuno-chan!" Tomoka suddenly hugged her, "Don't you ever leave us like that again okay. I'll never forgive you next time."

Sakuno was shocked at first. She responded on her hug later as she closed her eyes and said, "I won't. I am always here. I promise."

"Hey, I should get your number," Tomoka said taking out her cell phone, "Tell me."

Sakuno sweat dropped before smiling, "Mou, Tomoka-chan. Y-you already have my number long ago. I never changed it."

"E-eh?! Is that so?" Tomoka sweat dropped as well, "Silly me."

Sumire laughed on their stupidness, "Enough with that you two. Let's go outside and watch them play."

"Hai." They said in Unison.

Later On:

It's already half past three in the afternoon and the game was heating up. It was a singles match between Kawamura and Inui. Everytime Kawamura shouted 'burning' Capella just hid to her skirt much to her amusement. When she was absorbed to the game she was being informed by Fakir;

"Mistress, Can I have minute with you."

Sakuno was a bit shocked, "O-okay."

"Mistress?" Momo uttered.

"Ryuzaki-chan's a mistress?" Oishi said in uncertainty.

Everyone reacted except Ryoma who was staring at the girl and her bodyguard. They were brought back to reverie when Tezuka caught the attention at the match.

"What is it, Fakir-kun?"

Fakir stared at her before saying his words, "Lord Kishida will be arriving soon. Would you like me to inform our location?"

She was a bit shocked on his words. So he was coming to pick me up after all. She thought, "Y-yes… please tell him that we are here."

"Yes, mistress." He nodded.

"So he will pick me up as he promised." She said to herself.

"Who will pick you up?"

She flinched when she heard a familiar voice. She turned around when she saw Ryoma behind her drinking his ponta while staring at her.

"A-a new guy that I just met today. It was planned that he would escort me here but he said that it would be no fun if he was to ruin my reunion," She explained and then she looked down, "So he would come her to pick me up instead."

"Hmmm." He simply reacted. He didn't ask anymore question. He just drank his ponta.

"Ahh! Ponta-onii-chan!"

Ryoma glared at the boy who called him that, "Will you please stop calling me that?"

Sakuno just giggled at his reaction. Capella just pouted but later asked for his ponta. The little boy seemed to like the drink a lot. Ryoma started walking away from them and Capella followed him. Sakuno shook her head and follow them afterwards after nodding to Fakir.

Fakir just stared at his master, leaving in a deep thought between the conversation of her and the boy.

It's was quarter to four when Sakuno decided to go to a certain place. She asked her grandma that she would go there. The coach was trying to keep her company with someone but she insisted that she would go alone this time. To keep her and Tomoka away from worrying she said where she headed to.

The rooftop.

She went there as fast as she could. The moment she reached the rooftop, she walked to the reeling and looked below. She could see the boys and the others down from her location. She smiled as she stared at them for a while. And then she became serious.

The truth was she needed some peace of mind. She looked up to see the nearing sun set before her. She was absorbed by it when her phone rang. She yanked her phone from her pocket and answered it;

"H-hello…"

"Sakuno."

She flinched when she recognized the voice of her caller, "C-chris-kun."

"Are you still there?" The monotonous tone of his voice made her a bit nervous.

"H-hai." She replied.

The other caller sighed big as he said his next words, "Don't make unnecessary movements without my presence. I will be there without you noticing it." His voice was ordering her.

She became alerted. Whenever she heard his voice, she always tensed in an unknown reason. And she felt pressured because of that feeling.

"Are you listening to me?"

"H-hai."

"Good. I'll be there soon." With that, he turned off the phone without waiting for her reply.

She sighed as she tucked her phone back to her pocket.

"Who was that?"

She flinched when someone talked behind her, "R-ryoma-kun." The boy was standing not far from her.

Seriously, the boy had great timing… he was doing that everytime.

"R-remember the person I was talking about earlier? H-he called me saying that he will be arriving soon." She explained.

Ryoma just stared at her stoically. The boy didn't say anything so she decided to change the topic;

"W-what are you doing here? I-I mean, is your practice over?" She asked.

Ryoma shrugged, "He was looking at you so we came here." She didn't notice Capella behind him.

"Sakuno-onee-chan." He ran to her side and hugged her knee, "I thought that you left me."

Sakuno stared at the worried look of the little boy. She smiled fondly at the boy. She bent over to his level and pinched his cheek, "Who said that I'm going to leave without you, you silly boy. I can't live without you, remember that."

Ryoma stared at her. He was shocked on her words and trying to absorb what she just said to the little boy.

"Riiillly." He asked her making a funny face.

"Reaaaally." She smiled to her best.

Capella became happy after she said that. The boy started running through the rooftop to her amusement. The wind blew nicely making her pigtails swayed to its direction. She fixed some strand to her ear while looking at the little boy running around the area.

"Be careful, Capella-kun."

Ryoma continued staring at the girl. He just realized her appearance right now. She was just wearing simple attire. A baby blue t-shirt and a white below knee skirt. She paired it with her sandals.

"Aren't you feeling cold?" he couldn't help but asking the girl.

Sakuno looked at him and wondered, "N-not really. I have my sweater with me when I feel like I am."

Ryoma nodded as confirmation. She was looking nice in front of his eyes and didn't deny it, "You are way better in that get up than the last one."

Sakuno was shocked when he said that to her. She blushed as she nodded, "T-thank you."

Silence welcomed them after that short exchanged of words. They were interrupted when the little boy suddenly cried. The boy tripped and felt pain causing him to cry. Sakuno ran to him and helped the little boy to stand up.

"I told you to be careful." Sakuno scolded him as she brushed the dirt from his pants. Capella just continued to cry, "Stop it, I am here. Don't cry now." She hugged the little boy.

"S-sakuno-onee-chan." He sniffed as he was about to stop crying. Sakuno wiped his tears.

"Boys don't cry. Be brave Capella-kun. Sister will kiss the pain away." With that she kissed the little boy's cheek. Capella was a bit shocked and blushed at the same time.

Ryoma was surprised on her action as well. Before they could realize, he pinned his hat down and looked away. But Capella saw what he did. He thought hard. When Sakuno released him he asked something;

"Nee-chan, can I asked you something?" Capella started.

"What is it?"

"Can I kiss you too?"

Sakuno was surprised on his question. Ryoma looked at them as well.

"O-of course." She said. Because she was in his level, he quickly leaned closer to her face and gave her a kiss on the lips. Sakuno was shocked. She wasn't expecting that kind of kiss but she smiled still.

Ryoma saw that kiss as well and how Sakuno smiled after that. He saw how the boy ran to him and gestured him to bend over.

"Nii-chan… Kochi, kochi." The little boy said gesturing his hand to go down.

Ryoma squatted to his level; his hands were in front of his thighs resting there. He leaned closer and waited for his words to come out. But that didn't happen; instead the little boy gave him a kiss on the lips as well. Ryoma was shocked. His eyes widened as he stared at the boy.

Sakuno covered her mouth with her hands. She reacted on Capella's actions, "C-capella-kun! Why did you do that?"

Capella turned around to face her and smiled, "But ponta-nii-chan wanted to do that."

"E-eh?" She wondered what the boy said. Ryoma stood up as if he understood what the little boy said. Capella made it clear for her;

"He wanted to kiss you."

Sakuno became flushed red as he said that. She went near him as she closed his lips to prevent him from saying more words, "C-C-C-Ca-capella-kun! S-st-stop saying such em-embarrassing things! Mou!"

Capella was uttering something but they couldn't understand what he was saying because she was covering his mouth. Abashed, She looked at the tennis prodigy who was standing behind them, "I-I am sorry about that."

"B-betsuni." He said as he pinned his hat down covering his expression but Sakuno noticed something to him.

I-is he… e-embarrassed? I-I never saw his face tinted red. And then she felt embarrassed as well. T-that's another indirect… k-kiss. She looked at the little boy and that was when she realized that she was still holding him to her hand.

"S-sorry Capella-kun." She tapped the boy's back as he was catching his breath.

"Y-you're not trying to kill me, aren't you?" Capella asked her.

"N-no, silly." She sweat dropped. It's your own fault anyway. She thought.

"Let's go back." Ryoma said later.

Sakuno just nodded not looking at the boy. On what Capella did make the two quite awkward and embarrassed. Ryoma could make a reaction although, it was not that noticeable. They reached the court once again and they were approached by their senpais.

"Hey, why are two always together?" Momo asked the boy.

"None of your business." Ryoma simply retorted.

"Come on, Momo-chii! He missed the girl so let him have her." Eiji teased the young teens as he looked at them. Sakuno was blushing while Ryoma pinned his hat down for a hundred times.

Tezuka and Fuji just watched them bug the two. Sumire was with them.

"Who would have thought that my granddaughter's presence in the court would make them livelier that before?"

"Ryuzaki-chan has this rare charm than anyone doesn't." Fuji said as he stared at the blushing girl.

"And what would that be?" Tezuka asked the tensai.

"You already know that Tezuka," Fuji smiled, "Besides everything wasn't the way anymore now that she left Seigaku."

Sumire sighed as a confirmation, "You are right Fuji, you are right."

Sumire decided to have their last practice training that day. Everyone got to their post instead Ryoma and Sakuno. The girl was about to leave so that he could practice but the boy called her attention;

"Next time…"

"Eh." She turned around to see a standing Ryoma with no sign of walking away.

"Next time you drop a call on me," he said straight to her eyes, "I will definitely confront you."

She was stiffened on her location. The boy then started to walk away. She just stared at him and thought. W-what did he mean by that?

When she couldn't find the reason she decided to dispose the thought and shrugged afterwards.

Better get a better spot to watch.
