Guilt will give way, Disaster will strike

Wide violet eyes stared at the miserable form in front of him. Why was she so afraid, he did not know, but he knew that he needed to be there for her. His eyes turned gentle as he took hold of the hand that covered her face, "Sakuno-chan… maybe you should sit down and explain to me" she vigorously shook her head as she attempted to free herself from his hold. He pulled her away from the wall as he led her to her bed, as they both sat down. She kept shaking, although her tears had stopped flowing, he could see the distress in her eyes and voice, as she explained the situation to him.

"S-Seiichi-kun, p-please d-don't tell S-Syusuke-kun about this!" he looked surprised, "Demo saa, Sakuno-chan, he is the father… I think he had the right to know" she looked at him sharply, "N-NO! I-I mean I'll l-let him know when I-I'm ready… So please…" she whispered, as she held back the tears that were once again, threatening to flow free. He sighed, unsure of what to do, he kindly patted her head and smiled gently, "if that is what you want… then I'll keep the news from him". She cracked a tired and sad smile as she bowed her head low, as her tears fell upon her lap. "Ano ne, I-I have an ultrasound in a week, Tezuka-nii will be accompanying me, do you want to come?" she asked softly. His eyes widened and a light blush dusted his cheeks, "I-I can come? Will I be able t-to see how the babies l-look?" he asked, flustered. For the first time in two months, the sound of Sakuno's sweet laughter filled the room, "Yes Seiichi-kun, that's what ultrasounds are for".

Fuji had been painting in the outline and base of the subjects of their painting and was smiling to himself. They had both immediately agreed upon a common theme and had come quite far along the painting. The other club members were slightly slower as they had a few squabbles here and there. For some reason, he felt as though he'd been seeing Sakuno around a lot lately, she had been diligently working upon their Art and had been extremely cheerful, it soothed his mind. He had eventually shrugged off the bad feeling he had had that day, thinking he was just paranoia. He looked up as a petite shadow fell upon the canvas and smiled at her, his Aquamarine eyes twinkling. At the sight of such a happy Fuji, she felt her cheeks heat up as she sat down next to him, careful to hide the little bulge of her stomach.

The painting had been coming along beautifully, their emotions had been reflected quite well and the media used had been perfect. She smiled to herself- Art was such a wonderful thing, their hearts were tied together because of this form of self-expression. As they both held their brushes and dipped them into a colour of choice, one could see the expertise with which they furnished the tools, creating a breath-taking picture. In the process, she felt their hands brush against one another, and felt her heart racing at the contact. It wasn't as if they hadn't been intimate with one another, but that was before they had called it a truce. Now it was purely accidental contact between two best friends, one that made their hearts flutter with excitement- it was like falling in love once again.

She blushed as she slowly retrieved her hand as she flashed him a sheepish smile. He smirked at her knowingly, but said nothing. He decided he would enjoy these sensations without saying much, because Silence was Golden. Somehow their painting seemed like the perfect way to express their feelings to each other, and just how deep they ran.

They all exchanged discreet glances at one another as they watched Sakuno and Fuji walk into the common room, a happy smile on their faces. It seemed as though she had somehow made it through yet another day, without suspicions floating around in the air. "Syusuke, Sakuno-chan, do you guys want to go out for dinner tonight?" asked Shiraishi as he smiled at Sakuno knowingly, "what would you like to eat today, Sakuno-chan?" which meant 'what do your cravings say tonight?' She smiled sheepishly, "I'd like… anything that everyone wants to eat!" she finished cheerfully. Even when her cravings were running wild, the auburn-head found it in her to be considerate, go figure.

They simply smiled at one another and decided to head to a continental restaurant. Fuji thought that all the boys somehow seemed a little protective of the girl, but just dismissed the thought as he decided to enjoy himself.

There was cheerful chatter all through the meal and Sakuno could only thank god that her sickness wasn't acting up. That would have caused all of them to simply worry. The food had been delicious, and eating it with all the people close to her, with Sayuri sitting next to her made it better- sharing inside jokes as the men more often than not drifted off to a conversation that involved Tennis. But both girls knew that Tennis filled a vital part of their lives and they seemed the happiest when they did something involving Tennis.

She smiled happily as she laid down on her bed, she was stuffed. Sayuri had already fallen asleep because she had to get up extra early the next morning because the Oshitari siblings had to go visit their ill grandfather. She turned to look at the sleeping form of her best friend, she had been very supportive until now, and Sakuno could only stay healthy to repay all of them. She sighed as she felt her baby acting up as she rushed to the commode once again, emptying the contents of her stomach. She grudgingly washed her face as she felt her stomach wanting to eat some ice cream. Problem was, there was no ice cream and she would have to go out to get some. She sighed once again and she put on a lose sweater as she headed to the gate.

She kept walking happily until she felt a gentle but firm tug at her arm as she quickly turned to look at the person. He eyes widened as she felt her cheeks heat up and her eyes turned guilty. "S-Sanada-senpai…" he looked at her sternly, "Have you forgotten that I would be accompanying you on any outdoor activity henceforth? Tarundarou." She couldn't help but giggle softly as she smiled gratefully at him, "come on then, my baby's really hungry". His eyes turned slightly gentle at the mention of the baby, SLIGHTLY- something you would notice if you squinted. He nodded as they headed out the gates and onto to bustling streets of Tokyo.

They walked over to Yuki Sekai, the most popular ice-cream store among the University students. As she entered the store, she quickly found herself walking out of it. Sanada followed her back with a raised eyebrow. She smiled at him apologetically, "Gomen senpai, but I want to eat Lemon Cheesecake now". Sanada could only imagine how hard it would be for Syusuke after she broke the news to him. He sighed as he led her to a little cake shop at the end of the road.

He couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight of a flushed Sakuno chowing down on her cheesecake happily. She almost looked like a little girl who'd been given a whole bunch of her favourite candy. He sighed amusedly, Pregnancy Cravings sure was a scary thing, he'd be sure to remember that when he'd be an expectant father. He was also surprised to find that she wasn't craving weird things such as wasabi flavoured lollipops and the kind, oh in a few months, hell would break loose, Baby Fuji would have developed its vital organs and would manipulate its mother into eating spicy and odd foods. "Sanada-senpai, I feel like eating something really spicy now, what would you suggest?" he felt his eyebrows twitch slightly, okay maybe it wouldn't be a few months hence. Gosh, it was already beginning… he suspected it had started a long, long time ago.

Sakuno was three months into her pregnancy when the pair had finished framing their painting and had finalized what works they would be displaying. "Saa… we had fun, ne?" he asked the love of his life. She smiled angelically and nodded her agreement. They had indeed enjoyed working together, it was a time she treasured. It was however, now time to tell him. "Syusuke-kun… I-I… I don't think I'll be meeting you too much for a while, s-so… E-eto… this is for you" she thrust a little handkerchief into his palms as she quickly ran away from the boy. He blinked a few times until he spotted his name artistically painted onto the piece of cloth, it was really wonderful. He smiled slightly, at that moment, he couldn't seem to exactly register the impact of Sakuno's last words to him.

She had gone and done it. She sighed into her palms, she had no choice, she had started to show and she couldn't hide any longer if she were to constantly meet him. She had to now inform her senpais that she wouldn't be attending classes and that she would need their help staying within closure. It broke her heart to know that she kept something as important as this from the man she loved to bits, but she found herself to be a coward in fear of being hated by him once again.

It had taken a while but Syusuke had finally registered the meaning of her words. He had asked Seiichi about it, but the boy simply shrugged saying he didn't know anything about it. It was weird, why would Sakuno simply not meet him for a while, but do nothing of the sort with their friends? The bad feeling in the pit of his stomach was returning. He only hoped that whatever was to come, it wouldn't break their already fragile bond. If anything, he found himself desperately searching for something that would make them inseparable.

She had stayed true to her word, it had already been three weeks and she hadn't shown up anywhere he could see or talk to her. He had called her many times but found that she wouldn't pick his calls up. He had then asked Sayuri what was wrong and had informed her that Sakuno wasn't willing to talk to him. With each passing day, he found himself growing more desperate to be able to speak with Sakuno, to be able to see her smile and to hear her sweet voice, but he found he was alone in his struggle. He couldn't understand why this was happening again, he really didn't want it to.

Another half a month had passed by and there was still on sign of Sakuno. he sighed as he headed to the common room that Saturday evening, as he hoped he could get some answers out of all of them as to their apathetic behaviour towards Sakuno's absence. And answers, he did get.

Atobe sighed as he relaxed on one of the couches, they had all huddled together, a few on the couches, a few on the carpeted floor. "How do you think she's holding up? It must be hard, not letting the father know, na?" asked the Atobe heir. The others sighed and nodded in agreement, "Sayuri, make sure you help her do all the little chores, she's going to find it increasingly difficult to do anything." Sayuri nodded as Renji gave his input, "in another week or so, her vomiting and cravings will reach new heights and she will continuously require someone to take care of her. She will also require to take regular outdoor strolls, studies show that fresh air does wonders to a pregnant woman's judgement and temper." "Maa… I wonder how much longer we can keep Sakuno's pregnancy a secret for Syusuke? I feel really guilty about not telling him about his own child…" everybody's eyes turned slightly duller as they could only agree with the violet haired young man. Everyone's except Sanada's, whose eyes had grown wider as they stared at something behind Seiichi. "Fuji…"

Everybody's heads turned sharply towards the said boy as they cowered slightly under his murderous glare. Seiichi could only look distraught, "Syusuke, please listen, we were going to—" he stopped as Fuji glared harder, effectively silencing his best friend. He bit out venomously as everybody could literally feel the chills run down their spines, "Shut. The. Fuck. Up".

Mou... :3 I'm really worried for Syusuke-kun. he must feel so betrayed, ne? :3

Do R&R! I love you all! =) You're the best!
