Hey! Um...I know...I'm not done with the other one, but I'm writing another one here, called Down the Road! Hehehehe...it's about Ryoma and Sakuno, set when they're in third year, that means 2 years from the original timeline of Tenipuri....so, please, sit back and enjoy! BTW, there're hints of Ryoma/Sakuno, so don't say that you're not warned! Disclamer : Tenipuri doesn't belong to me....but Takeshi Konomi~!

Sakuno's POVIt had been a long time since I knew Ryoma-kun. Probably about, three years? Ryoma has changed alot, as in height, and physical appearance. But he was the same Ryoma-kun I met two years ago.
Sometimes I would wonder whether I like Ryoma-kun or not. Maybe I should give up on liking Ryoma and like someone more worthy of my admiration. But Ryoma's the closest I've been to any guy. Don't get me wrong, I've never been very close with guys, and this was no exception to Ryoma as well. I've tried to start conversations, and that's the furthest I got.
This will make me be aware of what he will see
me as. I always wondered whether he liked me or not, all the doubts pouring in.
Does he think of me as a pretty girl? Or probably an annoying one? Or just a
blur, ditsy one....I just don't know! If only I could read his mind.....
It has been 2 years, and Ryoma hasn't tried to go further in our relationship. If I watch him practise tennis, he would stop and get me a can of Ponta. That's probably the most he's done to me. Since Ryoma is the captain of Seigaku's Boy's Tennis Club, he had to practise everyday, rain or shine. I understand how he feels as well, being the captain of the girl's team.
Now, I can't wait anymore. I don't want the suspense. I've got the suspense for two years. If he's not making a move, I will.

Author's POV
Ryoma had just finished tennis practice, and was on the way to the water taps to wash his sweaty face. Behind him, Horio, Kachiro and Katsuo were following their captain. Horio was dragged by Kachiro and Katsuo, just because he was thrashed badly by Ryoma. How Horio became a regular, Ryoma never knew.
Before Ryoma could lean towards the taps, he was greeted shyly by Sakuno, the captain of the girl's team. Then again, he wondered how Sakuno became the captain. This world must be falling apart....
"Ryoma-kun......I.....I need to speak for you for a moment....."Sakuno stuttered.
Ryoma followed Sakuno to a secluded part of the courts. He observed her as her brown wavy hair bounced on her shoulders. After his comment on how her hair was too long, she untied her pigtails and then got it cut. She looked very different, but still, she was still the undecisive Sakuno.
Finally, she stopped.
"Ryoma-kun.....may I ask a question?"
"Yes...?"Ryoma said, cocking an eyebrow.
"Um....do you have any feelings for me...?"
"No. Not at all,"Ryoma said, turning away.
Sakuno felt her blood boiling right up to her head. Tears started flowing from her brown eyes. She clenched onto her fist. She couldn't control herself anymore. So her days of suspense was useless.
"Ryoma-kun...no...BAKA!"she said, her hand raised, slapping the arrogant boy. She then fleed, tears falling onto her cheek. Ryoma rubbed his cheek, looking back at Sakuno.
"Stupid girl......so that's what you wanted to tell me all the while....."
