Text – thoughts

Plok…

The sound of a tennis ball being hit was heard in the quiet park.

Sakuno was practicing tennis at a park where there are few people so people won't really see that she sucks at tennis.

Plok…

Oops…

Sakuno hit the ball too hard and it went straight to the somewhat forest region of the park. She decided to get the ball back. She walked and walked until she heard something.

Zzz…

Sakuno began to freeze.

"Hey… What's that sound? Oh dear! Maybe it's a monster or some wild animal! I better find my ball fast."

Sakuno searched everywhere. She still couldn't find it. Then she got to a very secluded place and the weird sound was getting louder ands louder.

ZZZ….

"The weird sound is getting louder ands louder! Where is the ball? I have to get out of here!"

Tears were forming in her eyes but it stopped falling when she saw her tennis ball near some bushes. She was about to pick it when she noticed a guy with brown hair who was sleeping under a tree near the bushes where her tennis ball was.

"What's that guy doing sleeping out here? Hmm… He looks kind of familiar…" Sakuno thought hard but couldn't remember who he is.

She noticed the Hyotei regulars' jersey for tennis near the guy's bag.

"He is a member of Hyotei's tennis team, the one who always sleeps. I guess I should wake him up. It's getting pretty dark. It's dangerous to stay here."

Sakuno was about to pick the ball again but due to her clumsiness she tripped over a small rock. The tennis ball bounced near the guy sleeping under the tree.

Slowly and silently, Sakuno made her way to the guy. Out of pure curiosity, Sakuno bent near Jiroh's face to see what he looked like up close.

"Hey! He's so kawaii! His sleeping face is super adorable! Oh, what am I saying! I don't even know him. Anyway, I have to get my tennis ball back but it's on his side. How can I get it?"

Sakuro reached to his side a little more when the guy stirred and his arms caught Sakuno's waist then she stumbled. She was now lying next to him, and Jiroh was now hugging her. She felt her cheeks turned red.

She heard him saying something.

"hmm.. So soft… So warm…"

Apparently, the sleeping Jiroh made Sakuno his pillow.

"He's a heavy sleeper. He didn't wake up."

"A-ano… excuse me… umm…" Timid Sakuno said.

Her soft voice wasn't enough to wake Jiroh. He just hugged her tightly.

She tried to wake him again.

"A-ano… wake up… Please…"

He still didn't wake up.

"This is pointless."

Sakuno took a deep breath and then shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Please! Wake up!"

Finally the sleeping Jiroh woke up.

"Yawn! Eh?"

Jiroh noticed the girl who he was hugging and was really embarrassed. He released the girl right away.

"Sorry about that." Jiroh said.

"Umm… I-it's alright. I better go home now."

Sakuno stood up immediately and began to leave.

"Yawn…Hey! I'll walk you home. It was my fault you were stock at the park. It is the least that I can do. Yawn…" Said Jiroh who was quite guilty at the fact that it was his fault the girl is going home in such a late hour.

"You don't need to…I can go home by myself."

"Come on! Come on! It's my fault you got held up here! Jiroh said while acting like a little child or when he saw something incredible.(jumping up and down)

"Umm…okay then…"

"Come! Lead the way!"

They had a quiet walk but out of the blue…

"Achoo!" Sakuno sneezed. Her face was red because of the embarrassment. "It is cold tonight."

"Eh… Here use my jacket. It is quite chilly tonight."

While saying those words Jiroh place his jersey at Sakuno's shoulder so she won't complain anymore.

"Thank you… umm?"

"Call me Jiroh! Akutagawa Jiroh!" Jiroh said flashing a really cute smile!

"Thank you, Jiroh-san!" said Sakuno, flashing an equally cute smile to Jiroh.

Jiroh blushed as Sakuno's smile. She was cute when she smiles.

"You're so cute!""Did I say that aloud?"

Both of them blushed.

They resumed their quiet walk again.

They walked and walked and reach an area near Sakuno's house.

"Jiroh-san, I'm okay here now. You should go home. It is quite late. Thank you again for accompanying me home." Sakuno said and bowed respectfully to Jiroh.

"Are you sure you're okay?" questioned Jiroh.

"Yup! I'm sure. Well then, good bye!"

Sakuno then ran to her house when Jiroh shouted back at her.

"Hey! What's your name?"

"My name? I'm Ryuuzaki. Ryuuzaki Sakuno!"

Then she resumed her running.

"Ryuuzaki Sakuno… You're one very interesting girl."

"Yawn! Achoo! It's quite cold today. I need my jacket. Huh?"

Jiroh forgot that he lent his jacket to Sakuno.

"Oh right, I lent my jacket to Sakuno. Oh well… it means that I will meet her soon to take my jacket back."

He was smiling on his way home but inside he was laughing like an evil maniac.

At Sakuno's house:

"I forgot to return Jiroh-san's jacket! It's so warm... I will definitely return his jacket the next time we will meet, at a tennis tournament perhaps…"

She placed the cloth at her cheek and savored its warmth.

Well, for Jiroh….

Jiroh slept on the ride to his home but it felt to him that it was the best sleep he ever had, because he dremt about Sakuno.
