Sakuno's birthday fic, Houseki is on the house… tee hee hee…
animecouplelover – tee hee hee… you will soon and see… and thank you for reviewing once again… ^_^
Mayu-chan – oh… okay… it's alright… I am still glad that you will spend time to read and leave a review sometimes. Well, that is enough for me. And as usual, good luck with your studies.
Okay… if you don't want me to tell your citizenship it's alright with me. Yeah, we all make mistakes and me, having English as my job is also hard for me. Probably that I am using all the verb tenses and all the grammar skills ever invented tee hee hee… But I guess you are better than me. I think I really need your help. I hope that you could come as possible and point my mistakes… You can be my second pair of eyes… tee hee hee… (I can not rely on my own skills, can't I) Thank you in advance.
I am glad that you like this chapter too… Thank you very much… (P.s I haven't reviewed this chapter yet so expect for lots of mistakes also you can not call it rush but I was sleepy when making this… So much for my stubbornness about choosing to write than to sleep.)
I'll be good I promise… ;P
Everybody IS here – tee hee hee… wonder how old is he really now? I'll search it later… Well, what can you expect to Nanjiroh, aside from being *ehem* pervy, he was really a teaser much to his son's annoyance (Ryoma even warmed him not to introduce him as his son before, if you remember that episode?) If I were Ryoma, I would probably do the same. Well, you're right… she's the cause of everything… ^_^
Underneath the Mistletoe – thank you very much… yap… you guess it right… ^_^
Houseki – ok two things too… That first one was definitely a mistake so thank you for pointing that out to me. Second, yeah, I totally forgot about that, it should be in the past after the be-verb… well thank you again… I'll change it. I am also glad that you like the story all in all… tee hee hee…
SAM – Thank you for loving this… tee hee hee… This is the next chapter so I hope that you like this too… Thank you once again… ^_^

Chapter 25: Impossible Dream
Chapter Summary: They found themselves in a beach… with the regulars? And Sakuno was… find out what was Ryoma's going to do?...
Once again, I would like to thank rodalyngie for another wonderful idea of this chapter. I hope you like it. ^_^
He could hear splash, waves, shouts, running feet, familiar voices somewhere. Curious, he opened his eyes. Bright light welcomed him and as he adjusted to the light, he tried to look around. He could see the clear blue sky above him. No clouds, a warm sun and birds. He sat up and looked around. He saw sand all around him and the big amount of water around him. He blinked his eyes twice to register where he was.
He was in a beach.
He looked for someone that he knew and then a rustle at his feet caught his attention. He stared at it and trying to recognize what it was. The thing suddenly looked at him and on what he thought that smirking at him. His eyes widened. His next reaction made himself sweat drop;
"W-wha-wha-what the heck!" he stupidly dashed backwards on the ground without standing up. He knew what it was.
It was…
"Kame-chan!" someone he knew picked 'it' and brought 'it' to the chest, "so there you are."
He looked at the both of them with a weird reaction, "S-sakuno what are you doing? Wwhy is that turtle here?"
Sakuno looked at him, "what do you mean by that? We're having fun here with Kame-chan of course."
He looked at her and noticed something, "what are you wearing?"
"E-eh?" she looked at herself. Although, Sakuno was covered with a jacket, he could see her legs being exposed below, "I-I am wearing a swimsuit, Ryoma-kun." she blushed.
Ryoma's eyebrow rose in disbelief, "and what made you wear that outfit?"
"W-why? D-don't you… like it?" she fidgeted on the hem of the jacket.
He stared at her for a while but he looked away. He pinned his hat lower to hide his embarrassment. Why? She looked daring in his eyes. He should make the girl changed to something decent. He was about to tell his thoughts when someone grabbed him from behind.
"OCHIBI! Come play with us!"
Ryoma flinched a little, "K-kikumaru-senpai, hanase!" he complained as he struggled to the acrobatic player's grip.
But Eiji had a company. Momo joined in and bugged the youngest tennis prodigy.
"Na, Echizen, let's play in the water." Momo said grabbing him as well.
"Hey, stop that you two, Y-you are squeezing Echizen." The mother hen interrupted them. Not only that, Inui came over to present him his new invented medicine while Kawamura just sit beside them. Ryoma created veins as he finally snapped;
"AAHHHH!" he stood up and distanced himself to them, "senpai-tachi no baka!" he was not recovered by their bugging when someone talked behind him;
"Hmmm, I can't believe that the Prince of Tennis could snap like that."
He looked at him and recognized the speaker, "C-ciel, Sebastian-san."
"Good day, Gentlemen," the butler bowed in front of them.
"Ah, Sebastian-san please no formality, we are here to have fun, "Oishi told the butler.
He looked at Sakuno's direction and saw Lizzy's pulling her to a certain area of the beach. He was surprised to see the nobilities in Japan just to have fun. And then he remembered his original purpose;
"O-oi, Sakuno!" he said calling out to his girlfriend. But he was blocked by Sumire and Inui.
"Oh no, you don't Ryoma," Sumire said to himself, "It's time that you should let go of her and have fun with us." Ryoma looked at them with another sweat drop. He couldn't reject them much to his annoyance;
"I-don't- want!"

Sakuno looked behind her. She felt sorry for Ryoma not letting him get close to her. But she could predict that he didn't like her swimsuit and he would force her to take it off. She sighed thinking about that thought. They were approached by Tomoka.
"Sakuno-chan! Lizzy-chan!" the girl ran to their side and looked at Sakuno, "Sakuno-chan, why are you still wearing the jacket? You should expose your beautiful body."
Sakuno just blushed on her words. She would be unfair to the both of them because Tomoka was revealing her whole body with two-piece swimsuit while Lizzy was with her cute one-piece swimsuit.
"Ah, Tomoka, stop with the honorifics, will you." Lizzy said to the girl.
"But Sakuno-chan is calling with honorifics, so I guess its okay," she said and before the blonde girl could reply she looked at Sakuno and approached her, "come on don't be unfair. I bought that swimsuit for you so that you can wear them." with that she grabbed her jacket.
"M-machi nasai, Tomoka-chan-Ah!" she dropped the turtle when Tomoka got a hold of her jacket and aimed for the zipper. She successfully unzipped the jacket and revealed her body. Because of Sakuno's reaction, the regulars looked at their direction and were surprised. Ryoma couldn't leave his eyes off of her.
Sakuno who was trying to cover her whole body was blushing really hard. He didn't notice the skirt that was displaying just above her legs before. It was pretty short but it emphasized her long and beautiful legs. What surprised him was the top. The skirt was connected to her top revealing her waist and back. The only covered was her navel and her chest.
His eyes darted to her chest. S-she's not wearing it? W-what is she wearing underneath them? He couldn't believe the girl was able to wear something like that. The girl was only wearing a padding to cover up her chest.
"M-mou, I-I told you, Tomoka-chan this is not a good idea." Sakuno said closing her eyes and turned around from them.
Some regulars whistle when they saw the girl's body. Ryoma, having a sharp hearing sense glared at them making the formers step back. The girls were wearing daring swimsuits but not as daring as Sakuno. It seemed that Ciel was okay for Lizzy to wear something like that.
But not to him.
No one dared to stop him when he went to the girl. Sumire glared at the regulars indicating that the person they were eyeing was her granddaughter. The regulars just sweat dropped.
Sakuno sensed that someone was approaching them. She flinched when Ryoma suddenly appeared behind them and grabbed her wrist without warning. The two girls were frozen on their location. They looked at each other and blinked;
"It worked!" Tomoka said as she grabbed the turtle and gave a thump up sign to the blonde girl.
Lizzy smiled back at her and gave a thump up as well, "Yeah!"

Ciel looked at the two couple who walked away from the crowd;
"The prince is conservative, huh?" he suddenly blurted out.
Sebastian leaned to his ear behind him and whispered, "aren't you conservative yourself about Lady Elizabeth's attire, sire?"
Sebastian's words made the noble blush a little. He distanced himself from the butler and retorted, "Shut up, Sebastian. And don't you dare look at her.
Sebastian bowed in front of him, "Yes, My Lord."
Everyone who saw what the butler did in front of the noble guy sweat dropped. They were not used of seeing such formalities like that.
Later On:
"R-ryoma-kun, w-where are we going?" she said trying to catch up with his grip. He was dragging her hastily.
Ryoma didn't answer her until they reached a club house that was near the place. They went inside and good thing no one was there. He closed the door and slammed her there. His hands were leaned to her sides shocking the girl in the process.
"R-ryoma-kun…" the girl was blushing really hard. The boy was staring at her intensely.
"Who gave you that swimsuit?" he asked her not leaving his stare at her.
She was speechless on his stare. Her heart was beating so fast fearing that the boy would hear it.
"Osakada, right?"
Her eyes widened as she gasped, "h-hai." She finally said when she found her voice. Then she heard him grunt a little. He closed his eyes as he calmed himself by doing that. He breathed hard before he opened his eyes once again.
"Take it off."
"E-eh?!"
I said take. it. off." He said emphasizing his last three words.
"R-ryoma-kun I-"
"Do it, before I take them off myself."
She blushed really this time and gasping at the same time. Was the boy asking her to take the swimsuit… in front of him? He was insane. She still couldn't find the words to say. Once again, she heard the boy sigh really hard before distancing himself to her. She panicked when the boy took off his jacket in front of her. w-what is he doing?
"R-ryoma-kun…d-don't w-we're too young-" before she could finish her words. The boy threw his jacket at her covering her face.
"Wear that."
"E-eh?" she said grabbing the jacket from her face.
Ryoma turned sideways and put his hands in his pocket, "Wear that and don't you ever take that off,"
He looked at her as he said his next words, "If you don't want me to do something that you don't expect."
She blushed really hard. She was blushing because of two options. One was his warning about taking his jacket off of her and two the boy was not wearing any shirt. He looked gorgeous. She quickly wore his jacket before he could read her mind. I-I could smell his scent in his jacket. She thought as she gripped the jacket in front of her.
Later on... more:
They continued having fun. Ryoma, to his annoyance always darted his eyes to everyone whoever dared to stare at his 'property'. The girl's were playing beach volleyball. Everytime Sakuno tried to jump; her legs would appear from the jacket.
He just couldn't understand himself. She was like wearing a school uniform with the same length but he felt pissed whether boys were staring at her long legged part. He could sense stare from his senpais as well. When he couldn't take it, he stood up and went to the girl making them stop from playing.
"R-ryoma-kun?" she asked the prince with wonder. Without replying, he simply grabbed her wrist and took her away from them, "R-ryoma-kun, what are you doing?"
He dragged her and went back to his position. He let go of her hand and sat down. The girl was just looking down at him curiously. Pissed, he talked, "Well, what are you still doing there? Sit beside me."
"E-eh?!" she looked surprised on his words, "H-hai." She sat near him. The boy was looking elsewhere making the girl felt awkward, "I-is there something wrong?"
He calmed himself down. He was not himself anymore so needed to go back on his old self. He sighed, "Your legs are troublesome."
"W-what?!" Sakuno was shocked and was a bit offended, "W-what do you mean by that?"
"Don't let them see those."
"Why are you saying that? I just don't-"
"I should be the only one to see them." he looked at her suddenly and was too late to take his words back. The girl blushed and somewhat tried to hide her legs after that. Realizing what he had said, he blushed a little and pinned his hat down, "Gomen. I was just… carried away."
She shook her head as she looked down, "It's okay."
Silence occurred between them.

Unknown to them, the tensai and the data analyzer was staring at them from the other shades.
"Hmmm, Echizen is not only conservative," Fuji noticed as he looked at the two blushing lads, "he is also possessive."
"I guess there will be 97.3% that Echizen would snap out today." Inui said writing some data in his notebook.
"Make it a hundred percent." Fuji butted in.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you are plotting something." Inui looked at the tensai.
"I want him to snap actually." Fuji was thinking something tricky and Inui was ready to record them on his notebook.
Later in the afternoon:
Ryoma was transparently pissed now.
Why?
Sakuno was not by his side once again.
He couldn't get to her.
Why?
Kame-chan was blocking him which Momo was holding the turtle. His senpai was teasing him with his weakness. He was totally pissed with his senpai now. Wait till I get my revenge on you. He thought as he gave him a deadly glare.
Sakuno was with the other regulars talking with them. Ryoma forgot to advice the girl to zip his jacket up. It was too vague for him to forget that, but he just did. He was bothered all day that's why.
"Take that stupid turtle away from me, Senpai!" Ryoma said still trying to get away from it.
"But Echizen, kame-chan is just cute." Momo said gesturing the turtle to his face making him move backwards. Eiji was just looking at his back.
Ryoma glared at his senpai, "do have death wishes senpai? Make them now before I-"
"AHH!"
He was cut on his words when he heard Sakuno scream. The girl was on the sand. The girl was sprained in an unknown reason. She was probably running and due to her clumsiness, she tripped. Fuji who was near her, kneeled in front of her. Ryoma saw their close proximity and then he heard him talking;
"Are you alright, Ryuzaki-chan." Fuji asked the girl.
"I-I guess so," she looked at the tensai, "but I sprained my ankle."
What a perfect timing for my plan. "Let me see," he inspected her ankle. He smirked secretly when he saw the boy's stare that he was giving them, "this is not bad but you still need an aid to check it up." With a slight glance to tennis prince he quickly grabbed the girl's knee under and inserted his other hand to her waist but due to a wrong move, the tensai 'accidentally' tripped too and pushed the girl on the sand with him almost straddling her. Everyone saw that incident especially Ryoma with a shock on his face.
Sakuno was breathing almost rapidly as she was staring at Fuji. She was blushing really hard. Although, their faces were quite far, it was far enough to see her exposed body to him. The jacket that she was wearing almost slipped from her shoulder making her swimsuit being exposed in the process. Fuji's hand was still at the side of her waist, while the other was near her face. Fuji was able to say 'sorry' at her while Sakuno only nodded.
Ryoma really snapped this time. Shoving Momo and Eiji in front of him, he walked to their location. He swiftly shoved Fuji's hands on her and grabbed the girl instantly. Without a word coming from the prince, they walked out from the beach.
Fuji stood up watching the two left the place. Everyone snickered on his reactions. Inui approached the tensai and tapped him;
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"What are you saying?" Fuji gave him his signature smile, "I don't know what you are talking about, Inui." With that he left the place leaving the data analysis behind.
Sadist as always. He thought as he began writing something on his notebook.
Somewhere near the beach:
They couldn't get to the club house as someone was there already. They looked for a place to stay and found a small hut. Ryoma put the blushing girl down to a wood and tend for her ankle.
"It's not that bad." He said as he massaged her foot. Sakuno winced a little when she felt the pressure on her ankle, "you are clumsy as ever."
"W-well, so-sorry for being clumsy." She pouted.
Silence entered them as he continued massaging her foot.
"I didn't like what I saw a while ago."
"E-eh?!"
"You are letting your guard down."
"I-it was an accident." Sakuno blushed, "N-no one expected that it could happen."
"Oh yeah," he smirked as if thinking something naughty, "So you are not expecting that I can do this." With that said, he suddenly pushed her down on the wood straddling her. Sakuno was shocked on his actions and she couldn't retaliate right away.
"It's your fault wearing something like this," he said slipping the jacket to her side so that the boy could stare at her seductive swimsuit. She knew that he was thinking something out of lewd thoughts but only affections so he triggered her on his next words, "You just simply made my way to you."
With that, he kissed her neck much to the girl's protest. The girl was blushing really hard. But as soon as the boy wasn't planning on stopping, she finally gave in. Sakuno just wrapped her arms around him and she let him lead all the way.
And then they made love in that hut.

SNAP!
GASP!
His eyes snapped opened. He stared at his ceiling trying to recuperate what had happened. He slowly sat up from his bed and stared in wonder. What the heck was that dream? Why did I dream that? He thought unbelievably. He was sweating a lot. It was not actually a nightmare but it was too good to be true. There were ways that it was impossible to happen.
First: He was not in Japan right now and meeting with his senpais was impossible.
Second: His senpai-tachi and his coach didn't know about the noble couple
Third: No one knew his weakness except Sakuno who accidentally discovered it.
He stood up from the bed as he looked at the wall clock. It was four in the morning. He went outside and stopped in front of the girl's door. He never wanted to admit it but he liked the last part of his 'dream'. But he noticed something, they never kissed there. Then, a realization hit him.
Yesterday's event was not a wonderful day for him.
She kissed him.
She kissed Kevin.
Though, he made her promise not to.
Somehow, he felt a sharp pain in his chest thinking about the event yesterday. He gripped his hands tight to his side before deciding to twist the doorknob of her room.
It clicked.
Her door is not locked? He thought, the girl was letting her guard down just like in his dream. He felt the urge of making that dream come true. He opened the door to see the sleeping figure on the bed. He went closer to the bed and stared at her for a long time. The girl was sleeping peacefully on her bed. He spent time to stare at her face.
Probably sensing another presence in the room, Sakuno opened her eyes slowly. Ryoma flinched a little but he didn't move from his position. When the girl recognized him, she jumped on her bed and sat up panicky;
"R-ryoma-kun!" she said making a panicky reaction, "w-w-what are you d-doing in my room?"
Ryoma just stood there still staring at her.
"I-I…" she was blushing next because of his stare.
"You let your door unlock."
"e-eh?"
Ryoma turned around and said, "I'll be practicing downstairs. Call me if breakfast is ready."
"H-hai." She replied as politely. It was already morning as she looked at the window. She must really cook for their breakfast.
Ryoma stopped at the door and looked behind her, "one more thing…"
Sakuno looked at him waiting for his next words;
"Don't you ever wear a revealing swimsuit, got it."
He closed the door after that leaving the girl in shock. He couldn't control a smirk that formed on his face. The girl was probably thinking what he was talking about. Well, he should be warning her ahead of time, before something happened that was out of their promise that they were holding.
