"We have arrived Ms. Ryuzaki. Please wake up." The driver ordered as Sakuno popped her eyes right open.

"T-Thanks Mr. Hikaru." Sakuno opened the door and a clerk held her luggage to the door.

Sakuno's tear dropped at what it looked like a mansion. It was a blue mansion, about 10 windows on each side, and a door with a porch practically split the house.

Shikotsu arrived outside to greet Sakuno. "Come on, Sa- chan. You're late, everyone's practically here."

Sakuno's eyebrow's rose. "Everyone?"

They entered a huge hallway with bright lights leading to a huge living room with a cute decorated Christmas tree, two ciruclar couches crowding the fire. The whole two teams where there, either arguing or laughing... Mostly aruging.

"Hey look it's Sa- chan!" Eiji pointed.

Everyone noticed and waved and greeted. Then went back to arguing.

"Where's Ryoma?" Sakuno asked Shikotsu.

Shikotsu guided her upstairs. "He's sleeping, he was very tired to arrive here in the morning."

Sakuno walked down the red carpet all the way to the last room. Seeing a sign where it said. Ryoma Echizen

Sakuno first knocked on the door, but it she grew impatient and just walked in. "R-Ryoma?"

She saw Ryoma, laying on his bed, sleeping. She smiled, and sat next to him, putting a blanket over him.

She can't help to think why Ryoma was wearing black pants and a red shirt and began to think what he was wearing inside. 'Waa? I am not a pervert!'

Ryoma smirked and grab her hand, Sakuno blushed while Ryoma was hugging her under the blanket.

"R-Ryoma, let's go back downstairs." Sakuno tried to get out.

Ryoma hugged her harder. "No, let's stay here together for a bit. I don't want it irritated down there with everyone yapping in my ear all the time."

Sakuno turned around and huggd in back. "Ryoma, Christmas Eve is your birthday isn't it?"

Ryoma nodded. "Yup."

"What would you want for your birthday?" Sakuno asked.

"You." Ryoma answered.
Sakuno turned bright red. "R-Ryoma, for real."

"What? It is a present right?" Ryoma smirked.

Downstairs...

"Tell us more about your mansion!" Aiki asked.

Shikotsu's tear dropped. "Well, we have an arcade, tennis courts, dessert room, dinner room, breakfast buffet, hot springs, a lunch porch, a swimming pool, a racing track... Shall I go on?"

Everyone's vein popped. "How come you never told us you were this rich!"

"S-Sorry." Shikotsu apologized.

Takashi laid back. "Why don't we enjoy ourselves for a bit?"

Akane grinned. "I bet I'll beat you in racing."

Takeshi smirked. "In your dreams."

Then Akane and Takeshi bursted out the room, into the racing track.

"Can I go to the dessert room Shikotsu- senpai?" Aiki excitedly asked.

"Can I go? I think I need ice cream right now." Rai asked.

Shikotsu smiled. "Go right ahead."

Aiki and Rai walked outside to the dessert room.

"I would love to go play right now... What about you Atsuko?" Ai asked.

"Of course. Eiji, Shuichiro, would you like to play us, again?" Atsuko asked.

"Sure." They both grabbed their tennis rackets and left.

"K-Kaoru, would you like to go to the arcade?" Shizuka asked.

"Sure." Kaoru and Shizuka left.

"Who wants to eat?" Akari asked.

Shuusuke and Sadaharu raised there hands and the trio left, leaving Tezuka and Shikotsu behind.

"They're getting along well." Shikotsu chuckled.

Tezuka sighed. "Quite hard to handle."

"Where's Sakuno and Ryoma?" Shikotsu asked.

"I don't know." Tezuka answered.

"You know Tezuka- kun, when we graduate next year, what high school will you go next year?" Shikotsu asked.

"That's a long way to go. Why are you asking?" Tezuka asked.

"M-My parents are encouraging to have success in my future. To become an architect." Shikotsu sadly explained.

"And?"

"I have to move to New York to study there." Shikotsu let it all out.

"So, we won't see each other... After next year?" Tezuka asked.

"Exactly." Shikotsu nodded.

Tezuka was shocked. "Then why don't you tell your parents no?"

Shikotsu's eyes opened. "I never did that before."

A man walked in, frowning and glaring. "Young man, I don't think you should be telling my daughter what she should do or not. For you are not marrying her."

"Daddy? What are you doing here?" Shikotsu asked surprisingly.

"I was going to say good- bye to my little girl, but I guess this young man is telling you to say no?" Shikotsu's father gave a stern look.

"U-Um, Daddy, this is Tezuka Kunimitsu. He goes to my school, and I really like him." Shikotsu confessed.

"Is he smart?" Shiktosu's dad asked.

"Of course, if you call straight A+s smart." Tezuka answered.

"He's the captain of the Seigaku boys team. And one of the best." Shikotsu explained.

"Then I would love to play him sometime." Shikotsu's father smiled at Shikotsu.

Before he left, Tezuka grabbed Mr. Shiatsu's hand. "Sir, may I have a word with you?"

Mr. Shiatsu raised an eyebrow. "Honey, go greet your mother.

Shikotsu nodded and left. "Bye."

"Why are you letting your daughter go?" Tezuka asked.

"To become a sophisticated woman." Mr. Shiatsu smiled.

"Well, is that what she wants?" Tezuka asked, Mr. Shiatsu paused to think.

"I never thought of considering her feelings." Mr. Shiatsu folded his arms.

"If you wish to send her away, please give me permission to marry her." Tezuka asked.

"I knew this talk would go there... Very well then. But if I ever see my daughter in tears, I'm going to end your life." Mr. Shiatsu agreed.

Tezuka's tear dropped. "I-I promise."

Mr. Shiatsu shook Tezuka's hand and left, then Shikotsu walked in.

Ryoma and Sakuno walked down. "We're going to the arcade."

Sakuno held hands with Ryoma and dashed downstairs.

They walked in to Shizuka and Kaoru in orange game glasses. "Eat that zombies!"

Ryoma then noticed a photo booth and inserted a coin. "Hey you want to take a picture?"

Sakuno smiled and climbed in.

Click

Ryoma grabbed Sakuno's warm face and kissed its cheek.

They climbed out and saw a huge picture of Ryoma kissing Sakuno's cheek.

"Can I keep this?" Ryoma asked.

"Okay, since you let me have the amusement park photos." Sakuno smiled.

Ryoma then jumped on a game of motorcycle race. "Hey, you wanna race with me?"

Sakuno chuckled and climbed the back of Ryoma and hugged him tight.

3...2...1...

"Let's go!" Ryoma was first place.

He swiveled left, Sakuno smiled happily. "I'll hold on to you."

Once the race was over, Sakuno wanted to try a shooting game. When Sakuno held onto the gun, Ryoma was behind her, showing her how to shoot and stuff.

"You're so cute when you lose." Ryoma chuckled.

Sakuno then laughed with him.

"Dinner time!" Shiikotsu called over the speaker.

Ryoma grabbed Sakuno's hands and dashed into the dinner room. Everyone was waiting for them, growing impatient.

When the waiters popped out, the team members were booming with excitement.

"How can we still lose?" Eiji asked.

"They're good." Shuichiro laughed.

"I beat you and the record time." Akane boasted.

"I think you're sleeping, everyone knows I beat you, and the record time." Takeshi argued.

Akari laughed. "I remember when Inui switched Fuji's drink with Sweet Tea. It was hilarious!"

"Too... much.. candy..." Aiki sickly groaned.

"Too... much... ice cream..." Rai sickly moaned.

Then everyone ate happily.

In the middle of the night...

"Stupid dreaming about Sakuno." Ryoma went downstairs to the kitchen to get water.

He saw a dark figure and poked it,, it growled.

Ryoma instinctively punched the dark figure. "What the hell Chibisuke?

Ryoma turned on the lights. "Nii- san?"

Ryoga smiled. "Ha, thought I come by?"

"You don't even know Shikotsu- senpai?" Ryoma's vein popped.

Ryoga took a bite of an orange. "Wow you really don't remember much. I used to date her?"

Ryoma smirked. "It's not good to be here."

Ryoga raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"She's dating Tezuka- senpai." Ryoma answered.

"She is? Then I'm here to check on you." Ryoga smirked.

"Bullshit." Ryoma glared.

"Okay, okay. So this time I kind of have feelings for her." Ryoga confessed.

"R-Ryoma? What are you doing here so..." Shikotsu paused.

"H-Hi Shikotsu- chan." Ryoga waved.

Shikotsu turned deadly and grabbed a mop. "Get the fuck out of my house."

"Hold on, Shikotsu. Can we talk?" Ryoga ran away from Shikotsu's mop swinging.

"No, just get out of here!" Shikotsu swung as drops of tears flowed.

One final sing and Ryoma stopped it with both hands. "Relax senpai."

Shikotsu turned into her sweet self. "Fine. Go ahead."

"When I was talking behind your back, I was joking. I didn't mean to hurt you. And when I kissed her, I was still yearning for you." Ryoga apologized.

"Whatever you're going to say, it's all over. It's in the past. I have Tezuka." Shikotsu smiled and blushed.

Ryoga really hated it when she blushed and smiled at the same time. It drove him with crazy in love. So he couldn't help to kiss her.

"Nii- san!" Ryoma karate chopped him.

THUMP- THUMP

"I love you, seek my offer." Ryoga stuck his tongue out and left with an orange.

"Sorry about that Shikotsu- senpai, he just-"

Shikotsu punched her chest and cried. "Stop thumping. Please."

Ryoma hated sympathy, he really did. "H-Hey, can we just go to sleep?"

Sakuno and Tezuka walked in. "We heard a lot of ruckus, what's going on?"

"Why are you crying?" Tezuka hugged Shikotsu.

Sakuno noticed spilt oranges on the floor. "Your brother?"

Ryoma nodded. "Kissed Shikotsu- senpai."

I thought I love you... And I thought I forgot you...

Next morning...

"Morning." Ryoma greeted the tense breakfast buffet.

"Who wants to go shopping?" Aiki boomed and grabbed every Seigaku girls tennis team's hands.

"Goodbye now!" Aiki waved.

The door slammed shut.

The team remained silent.

"Shall we surprise them when they come back?" Shusuke asked.

"In tuxedos?" Takeshi complained.

Ryoma's vein popped. "Do we have to?"

Rai smiled. "And a dinner... Are we falling for them?"

The team nodded. "I thinks so."

At the limo...

"In dresses?" Sakuno asked.

"Do we have to go all that trouble?" Aiki asked.

"If we're falling for them." Shikotsu smiled.

The girls laughed and nodded.
