A/N : I think that all the -chans and -kuns are somewhat annoying to type and because I am lazy, there shall be no more! Mu-ahhhhh!(evil laugh)Also, my friend has brought it to my attention that I wrote something wrong. Instead of nii-san, it should be anki. She said that nii-san is for people who are old enough to be your brother, but is not. Anki is for your blood brother.
Ryuzaki-sensei sensei
Transfer Team
Chapter 3 : Not Inui's Day Part I
"Sensei, I think I know who did it."said Ryoma unexpectantly. Everyone looked at him, he now regretted it.
"Who did it, Echizen?" asked Ryuzaki-sensei.
"You'll find out later, or you can ask Ryuzaki." he replied.
"Why can't you tell me, Echizen?" she asked in a tone that could have anyone running for their life.
" 'cause." he said.
"And why not?"she asked back in a prying tone.
" 'cause I said so."he finally said, and no one thought that sensei wouldn't kill him. However, he had confidence that she wouldn't kill her favorite student's only kid.
sensei took him aside and away from his teammates' listening ears.
" Ryoma? Why can't you say so?"she asked in a worried tone.
" 'cause, she's back." he replied,quite confident sensei wouldn't know who 'she' was.
"You can't mean--"she said with a gasp.
Ryoma was somewhat surprised. He couldn't believe sensei knew who 'she' was.
The bell rang for the teams that are praticing to start changing if they needed to.
Ryoma changed quickly to avoid his sempai-tachi,and went out the locker room door to head toward his homeroom. However, he was immediately face-to-face with Tomoka-chan.
"Ah, Ryoma-sama, what are you doing here?" she asked in a excited voice.
"I was heading toward my homeroom." he replied in a monotone voice.
"I know, you can help me look for Sakuno, I can't find her, we were supposed to meet at the boy's tennis office, but she never showed up. I was hoping you would know where she went." said Tomoka-chan. She took his arm in her hand and dragged him along. They were walking along the courts when the warning bell rang.
"I'm sorry,Ryoma for making you late for your homeroom." said Tomoka-chan. Ryoma stared at her.
"What do you mean Osakada?" asked Ryoma. He only asked because he wouldn't be late if he left now. Then it finally dawned on him,Tomoka wasn't going to let him leave until the bell for class to start rang. "You cannot possibly believe to keep me here until the bell rings."
"I'm very sorry, Ryoma-sama."said Tomoka with fake tears in her eyes. Of course, Ryoma didn't know what to do with her, so he just shut his mouth and let her drag him.
Just as the bell rang, they caught sight of two figures that were coming from the forest near the campus grounds. One of them looked like Sakuno, and as Ryoma looked more closely, like his sister. But, that would be impossible, she should be at school. However, Ryoma knew his sister was able to skip classes without any guilt, mostly because she was a tensai herself and could keep up with her class without any help at all, and she might even be third year level material.
"Sakuno!" shouted Tomoka. One of the figures, Sakuno's, looked in their direction and the two seperated. Sakuno going toward Ryoma and Tomoka, and the other first staying put, then moving deeper into the forest.
"Tomo, Ryoma! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?"asked Sakuno frantically. Tomoka was hugging her friend tightly and was unable to answer.
"We were looking for you, Ryuzaki."said Ryoma in a blunt tone.
"Ahh! I am so sorry to make you worry, gomen nasi, gomen nasi!"she said hastily while bowing her head over and over again until Tomoka could not keep her hold on her friend.
"Sakuno, it's okay, besides, we have to get going now, otherwise we will be really late for our classes."Tomoka said, trying to get her bobbing friend to stop bobbing and to get moving.
They quickly seperated, Tomoka andSakuno going to their classroom, and Ryoma going to his. Luckily for him, he had English. Unfortuantly for Tomoka and Sakuno, they had math, and their math teacher was strict about being tardy.
The figure in thetrees smiled, satisified thatthe person's friend, Sakuno would do the job that the person wanted Sakuno to do.The figure stepped back to hide in the forest's shadows, before heading toward the Fudomine tennis courts.
"Sakuno, come on, you can tell me, can't you?"asked Tomoka pleadingly.
Sakuno avoided Tomoka's sad eyes and shook her head. No matter how much Tomoka asked her, she would not say. Her friend trusted her, and once you break trust, it is hard to gain back. Sakuno pulled her backpack into a more comfortable position on her back. Tomoka immediately notice this.
"What do you have in there, bricks?"she jokingly asked.
"No. . ."Sakuno replied in a faint voice.
"BBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!" the bell had rang for a break between the periods.
"Ahhhh!" yelped Sakuno in a startled tone, she had been daydreaming about what her friend had wanted her to do.
"Sakuno, you okay?"asked Tomoka.
"I'm alright, I was just daydreaming."said Sakuno.
"Daydreaming about Ryoma, right?"said Tomoka in a teasing tone.
Sakuno immediatly blushed, Tomoka frowned, this was not how it was supposed to go, Sakuno was supposed to say yes and admit her crush to Ryoma. Oh, well.
"Sakuno, is something wrong?" asked Tomoka trying to trick Sakuno that she was worried about Sakuno being sick because of her red face.
"No, no."said Sakuno in a hurried tone. Tomoka frowned once more, she could always tell when her friend was lying. That was why no one ever told Sakuno about Tomoka's surprise birthday parties.
"Ano, Tomoka, I have to go to the bathroom now, would you please wait for me here?" asked Sakuno. Tomoka wrinkled her forehead, Sakuno had never asked something like that before. She decided to follow Sakuno wherever she went to find out what she was hiding.
