I decided to post up this chapter a little faster, since I think the last chapter was a little boring. Thanks for the reviews again!
Enjoy!
"Ryoma-kun," she said, clasping her hands before her chest.
He turned to her, eyes transfixed. He was waiting for her to continue.
But truthfully, Sakuno couldn't say what she really wanted to say. 'How can I say this?' thought Sakuno. 'I couldn't stand to see you torture yourself like this. Especially since I don't know exactly what's wrong…' "Mm, are you all right?"
Ryoma looked down, his cap covering his eyes. "You heard me?"
"I'm sorry," was all she could say.
Silence hung the air for the moment, and both figures were struggling to change their emotions into understandable words.
Sakuno gave up trying after a while. So she decided to make her leave. "I guess it's best that I leave you alone. Congratulations on your acceptance for the Junior Championship. Good luck." Sakuno turned.
"Wait!" cried Ryoma.
Sakuno felt the word hang in the air. It made her still, but it also made her heart race. Slowly, she turned to face him.
[Ryoma]
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you, baby, can't you see?
You're the only one who could shine for me
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us as the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it, wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
[Sakuno]
When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one-way street?
Well it runs both ways, open up your eyes
Can't you see me here? How can you deny?
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us as the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it, wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
[Ryoma and Sakuno]
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry
Oh, it's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us as the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it, wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
[Ryoma]
Come to me
Both continue to stare into each other's eyes. A bridge of understanding was being built at the moment. But Sakuno didn't feel like finishing it, she needed to assess her feelings more.
"I have to go, it's late," she said.
"Will you see me off tomorrow?" he asked earnestly.
Sakuno smiled as she finally turned her back on him. "We'll see."
"I'll wait."
With that, Sakuno walked home.
One of the most romantic songs that I love, 'Private Emotion' by Ricky Martin and Meja. Doesn't it make Ryoma look so OOC? Heheh... it's just to let you know that Ryoma acknowledges Sakuno's existence as someone important to him, and it's the same for Sakuno.
Next chapter, [edited] Ryoma reflects! The regulars (without Tezuka) intervene! More singing from our favourite tennis players?
Enjoy!
