(A/N: First Ryoma/Sakuno fic! AWW! LOVE THIS PAIR! PROLOGUE! Please R&R!)
Sakuno's POV
I stood there alone and watched Ryoma-kun in the tennis court silently.
Ryoma kun started the game with his well-known 'Twist-Serve' and the 3rd-year senior dropped onto his knees in defeat. Ryoma-kun turned around and walked off. He adjusted his hat and said, "Mada mada dane."
Those were the words that attracted me.
" Mada mada dane."
I did not think I could ever tell him how I felt about him. I was just another pigtailed girl in his school named Ryuzaki Sakuno. I just did not have the courage to tell him how I felt. I did not know why but it seemed like I always looked like a fool to him.
" Gomen nasai!" was what I could say.
" Mada mada dane."
I scolded him once. He was late for the competition and Hyorio-kun had to take the risk and pretended to be Ryoma-kun. Hyorio boasted about his 'Twist-Serve' and got himself into trouble. At last, Ryoma arrived but refused to challenge against 'his' opponent with his Twist-Serve. Then, I got fed up and scolded him.
I thought he got pissed off and performed a 'Twist-Serve' as 'Hyorio'.
" Gomen nasai." I wanted to apologise.
" Mada mada dane."
Ryoma-kun's father offered to have his son teach me tennis but I knew I sucked at it and was not made to play tennis. I tried to hit the ball and it just bounced a little and rolled off the ground. I blushed. It was embarrassing to have him watching at me. I was anxious.
" Gomen nasai!" I was sorry for being such a klutz.
" Mada mada dane."
He said that very phrase to his opponents after every match he participated. Those words that attracted me sure fitted his style. I felt foolish having to have these thoughts.
" Gomen nasai." Sorry for being such a fool.
" Mada mada dane."
The words kept ringing in my ears. I wanted to be with him.
Mada mada dane."
I knew I would never be with him.
" Mada mada, desu ka?" I thought.
Somehow, my dream became reality.
