Hey! I have the urge to continue this story, very quickly. This began when my best friend E Wah(Penname : blueey) was having problems(wait, not problems..)..fine. It was hard for me to read her fanfic, so I got her to leave space in between her text! Hehehe...so well, please R and R! And thanks, to minna-san who've been reading, commenting, and reviewing this fic! Thank you, thank you! *bows down like a maniac* Thanks for all the comments! Wow, and I hope you all enjoy this! *beams*

Sakuno ran as fast as the wind, running the fastest her legs could take her. She was crying ; she didn't think that Ryoma didn't even hold a single bit of feeling for her.
"Ryoma-kun....you useless, no-feeling baka!"Sakuno said, slamming her fist onto the wall. She looked at her bleeding knuckles.
Hmm....I need to get my knuckles bandaged.... Sakuno thought to herself, wiping the blood on her knuckles with her shirt.
Meanwhile....
Ryoma is at the infirmary, waiting for the nurse to tend to his cheek.
"Ryuzaki has a firm palm, doesn't she..?"asked the nurse.
"Don't talk about her..."Ryoma said. He rolled his eyes, thinking about the ditzy girl. How could she ever think that Ryoma, the smart, cool, tennis captain would even think of liking an undecisive, blur girl? He just shook his head at the thought of Sakuno.
Finally, the nurse was done with bandaging Ryoma's cheek. There was one big white patch on his cheek from far. Of all people, Momo just had to approach Ryoma. Ryoma's former senpai, Momo, was wearing his new school uniform.
"Wah~ Ryoma! Oyasashiburi!(Long time no see!) Wow, what's with your cheek?"Momo said, checking out the grown boy's cheek.
"None of your business, Momo-senpai."
"Well, tell me! Got girl problems...?"Momo said curiously, eyeing Ryoma.
"Betsuni."
"Wait, hmm......maybe I should give Inui this picture of you and Sakuno together....."
"NANI!? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"Ryoma exclaimed. He HAS a picture of he and Sakuno together? Oh. No. No....No way. Ryoma was going to get his hands on that whatever picture. Or probably he was so gonna kill Momo.
"So, just tell me, what's troubling you?"
Soon, Momo knew everything from Ryoma.
"Wah! I knew it since the day I saw the both of you together! You're so cute together!"Momo said, smacking Ryoma on his back.
"Shaddup..."Ryoma retorted, thwacking his senpai with his racket bag.
Suddenly, both of them became quiet. Momo was observing the huge bump on his forehead. Ryoma then broke the silence.
"Hey, Momo-senpai. What would you do if you were in MY situation?"Ryoma asked.
"I'd think about it, see whether I actually have any feelings for that girl. Then, I would tell her whether I even bear any feelings for her."
Darn it.. Ryoma thought. I didn't even think whether I would have any feelings for Ryuzaki. I'm sure she must be angry at me now.....
"Hey, Ryoma, you spacing out there?"Momo asked, looking at his junior. Suddenly, the both of them heard some people shouting.
"MOMO~! DOKO NI IRU...?" Ryoma saw Ann-chan shout. Well, it was no surprise that the Fudomine girl had gotten attached to Ryoma's senpai. After all, he knew that since he was a first year. Too bad that they weren't in the same school.
"Hey, Ryoma, gotta run, see ya!"Momo said quickly, slinging his bookbag on his shoulder. Ryoma saw the spiky haired boy rushing to Ann-chan. Well, he presumed that Ann was the object of his heart.
He walked home silently, avoiding human contact the best that he could. He wouldn't want comments, or rather remarks from his schoolmates or his ex-senpais. Well, he planned to be in the same school as all of them next year, anyway, so they were going to be his senpais. Well, it's better than going to some unknown school with no one to turn to. Besides, Seishun Gakuen High School was recommended to students who had completed their studies in Seishun Gakuen High School, the high school division of Seishun Gakuen schools.
Since it was still early, Ryoma decided to pop by a shop for a snack. He didn't notice it, but he entered Kawamura's sushi shop. He was greeted by two faces he didn't know, and four of his former senpais as well. Kaidoh and Momo-senpai were nowhere to be seen, though.
"Nya~! Ochibi! You're no longer you're old self, eh? You've grown! It's been two years since all of us has seen you...."Eiji chattered happily to his kouhai. Fuji, as usual, was smiling, and hardly changed.
"Echizen, I told you the drinking-milk plan would work. Now, look. You're as tall as our old buchou, 179 cm,"Inui said as he scribbled new data on Ryoma's new phsyical appearance into his data book.
"I was growing the other time, Inui-senpai. I haven't grown fully yet two years ago. Now, it has NOTHING to do with milk,"Ryoma said.
"Hmm....who's this?"said another person. His green eyes flickered, staring at the newcomer. His other friend also had their eyes fixed on the boy.
"Ah, that's Echizen, our old regular member,"Fuji said, clearing the doubts of his senpais.
"And, who're you?"Ryoma said, turning to the two older boys.
"I'm Hikari Yuuji, 3rd Year, captain of Seigaku High School's tennis team,"said the green-eyed boy.
"I'm Yuuji's twin, Hikari Yuushi. Vice-captain."
It took Ryoma some time to register that the two 18-year old boys were twins. They had messy hair, both of the same colour, brown. You could even say that the both of them looked like Tezuka. He wasn't really paying much attention to the other two boys, since his other senpais were goggling over him.
Finally, Oishi noticed the bandage on Ryoma's cheek.[A/N : After such a long time!]
"Hey, Ryoma, is your cheek ok?"Oishi asked worriedly. It just wasn't Oishi to let someone injured to be left alone.
"Yes."
"Waaaaaaaaaaaa~ what happened nya~?"Eiji queried. It would be better if Ryoma kept his mouth shut in order not to be fooled by his senpais. Fuji smiled at Ryoma.
"Well, he just got slapped by Sakuno,"Fuji said, smirking.[A/N : Waaa~ how did he even KNOW that?]
I am going to KILL Fuji-senpai. Tonight. Or maybe now. I just need a knife from Kawamura-senpai..... Ryoma thought, his blood on fire. How his senior know, he never knew. Inui was scribbling even more data into his book.
"Nya~ how didya know that, Fuji?"Eiji said.
"I saw Ryuzaki crying at the school compounds, so I wondered whether she was okay, so she told me everything."
"Wait! Weren't you in Seishun Gakuen HIGH School, no JUNIOR High?"Eiji queried suspiciously.
"Well, I needed to tell Ryuzaki-sensei something, so I decided to pop around our old school."
As everyone crowded around Fuji to listen to the story about Ryoma and Sakuno, Ryoma thought it was best for him to leave as soon as possible in order to avoid being asked many questions by his senpais.
So, it was just him, alone, walking silently back home. He stopped by a vending machine and bought himself a can of Ponta.
He thought back and wondered what he had done to make Sakuno like him. Fine, he had to admit he was good at tennis, smart, arrogant, and what more? He had tons of fans, and he never paid attention to them. Sakuno was nothing special, or was she?
She would sometimes go approach Ryoma during lunch time, and hand him an obento she made for him. It was rude to refuse anyone's gifts, so he took that as well, up to the top floor of the school and eat his meal there, with the company of the girl. Well, it was delicious, so Ryoma often enjoyed eating the obento that Sakuno prepared. All her hard work, all into that box of food. Nothing was better than eating with hardly any company as well, since she wasn't the noisy type. That time, she had already got her hair cut, and untied. She began to seem less annoying day by day, though.
What else have they both done together....oh yeah! Ryoma suddenly remembered the time the spent playing tennis. Sakuno seemed to be awful at tennis, but still, he couldn't help her much. To master tennis, one must practise everyday, train as much as possible, and play as young as possible. It had been two years since he last played with the brown-haired girl, so she should have improved to become the captain of the girl's tennis team.
Come to think of it, he had also bought the girl some Ponta if she watched him practise hitting with the wall at the tennis courts. It wasn't nice to just let her sit there, gazing at him just like that.
As Ryoma looked back at all the memories he shared with her, it didn't seem so bad. Among his fan club, he was the one who stood out from the crowd. She could just probably be the one that he actually likes. But, what if she doesn't feel the need for Ryoma anymore?

Wah.....this wasn't very bad, was it? Please review, tell me what you think about this. Bye~!
