RyoSaku~ Love Story

Chapter 14

"One more thing, there is a commotion going around the school that you always come in with 'amazing' guys like Sakuma and Sakuya," Ann told Sakuno before she forgot.

"Well, they are my brothers obviously and they are my friends as well." Sakuno answered.

"You have to be extra careful Sakuno since you have four 'amazing' guys accompanying you to school. There is going to be a war between their fanclubs and yours as well." Tomoya assented solemnly.

"My fanclub?" Sakuno didn't know what they were talking about. She never knew that she had a fan club.

"That was supposed to be a secret!" Ann tried to strangle Tomoya.

"Gomen, it slipped my mind! Please let go!" Tomoya begged for air. "With Sakutaoru coming in, I think there will be another fan club coming up."

"Well, I don't think this is any of our concern so let's go, guys!" Sakuma, Sakuya, Sakutarou and Ryoma said it together. That's the first time I am hearing them saying the same thing together. They dragged Sakuno out of the scene. Sakuno was wondering where her brothers and Ryoma was dragging her to.

-At the rooftop-

"Onni-chan! Ryoma-kun! Why did you drag me here?" Sakuno asked, consumed by curiosity.

"Let's skip lesson today," Sakuma suggested.

"What?" Sakuno was surprised; she didn't think that her brother will skip school for anything like this. "Why?"

"We don't want anything happening to you again." Sakuya answered. Sakuno knew that they were very concern but they didn't have to skip class for her.

"No way, I am going back to class!" Sakuno walked towards the door, turned the knob and walked out, closing the door behind her. She went to the classroom and opened the door, a duster dropped onto her head. She heard some gigging from the girls and ignored. She went to her place and saw that her tables were full or hatred paper around. She looked around the class with her eyebrow knitted together. Then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw Ann and Tomoka.

"Let us help you with the cleanup." Ann suggested.

"Arigratou!" Sakuno smiled as she thanked her friends. Suddenly, the door slide opened loudly and saw Ryoma carrying her bag over his shoulder. His eyes met hers as she picked up the pieces of paper. Ryoma went over to her and asked, "Need help?"

"I'll appreciate it if you do." Sakuno replied back. Ryoma immediately bent down and help pick up the pieces of hatred paper. "What are all these?"

"These? Hatred notes. I get them most of the time when I was young so don't need to worry." Sakuno mouth rippled in what might have been an attempt at a smile.

"Ryzuaki, what are you hiding from me?" Ryoma mumbled, hoping that no one heard him but Sakuno did. Gomen, Ryoma-kun. I don't know if I should tell you or not. Sakuno felt a sudden burden on her. "Ann-chan, Tomoka-chan, do you want to go for Takamura Sushi after our clubs?" Sakuno asked when she suddenly thought of it.

"Sure, we would love to." Ann smiled sweetly and gratefully at her.

"I would love to." Tomoka answered with joy. "Sakuno..." She turned her head to find her senpais, the Regulars, were at her classroom door and saw all the hatred notes all over the table. They were shocked and were rooted to the ground. "What happen to you?" asked Tezuka.

"Just hatred notes." Sakuno answered. She didn't want people to keep asking the obvious questions. Even though she tried to put a smile on her face, the stiches on her heart have ripped string by string. She didn't want to recall the past event that happen her during elementary school.

-Flashback-

Sakuno opened the classroom door and then a bucket of water dropped on her head. The class girls laughed. Sakuno tried to laugh along and when she went to her place, she opened her book and saw lots of hurtful words in some pages. She looked around; she saw lots of evil smirk and evil staring eyes pointing to her. Sakuno wanted to cry on the spot but she couldn't let them out. Just then, her brothers came in time to 'rescue' her.

"Sakutarou-sam, what are you doing here?"

"Sakuma-kun! Sakuya-san!" All the fangirls called out to them. They grabbed their sister and rushed out of the class and up to the rooftop. "Why didn't you tell us?" asked Sakuma.

"What are you talking about?" asked Sakuno. She didn't want them to worry.

"We have observed you for a while now. You have been tortured by those bitches. Why did you tell us?" asked Sakuya.

"I-I didn't want to bother you. I thought that these were minor problems that I can put up with." Sakuno managed to elucidate in between her sniffles.

"Sakuno-chan, you know that we are always here for you, even though we are not blood related sibilings." Sakutarou smiled at her kindly. Sakuno could hold in any longer. She dropped onto the ground and burst into tears. Her brothers came around her and comforted her.

-End of Flashback-

"Thanks for the help," she thanked everyone who helped her.

"It's alright. If there anything else we can do to help you, we will do our best to help you." Fuji answered mildly.

"It's alright, I'll handle them myself." Sakuno didn't want her senpais to worry about her. Her answer made everyone curious. "You don't' have to worry. I can take care of myself!"

Riiinnnggg

"Ah! It's time for class. See you later at tennis practice." Sakuno smiled happily and went off into her class along with Ryoma, Tomoya and Ann. She went in and saw her female classmates an evil glare. Chill went down her spine. She was frightened to the point of collapse. She didn't want the past to be brought up again, all she wanted a peaceful life with her brothers in school. Ryoma noticed the fear in her eyes.
