Chapter 2: Love Initials

Yume was practically bouncing with joy."That's right. From now until the end of the school year you two are a couple. And, you are pregnant with Fuji's Twins. Now, Sakuno if you would come with me please!" Yume said while walking over and grabbing her arm before taking her to a back room.

Sakuno could only look back at Fuji with a look that clearly stated "This is all your fault for volunteering us!" who stared at her in guilt. Yume shut the door behind them. "Okay, Sakuno this here is a empathy belly. It actually does give you all the symtoms of pregnancy etc. Including cravings, back pain, etc."

"Why is it flat?" Sakuno asked.

"That's the wonderful thing about it. It actually inflates like a child is actually growing inside it. Filling itself with this hard substance found in the air slowly over time." Yume began explaining as Sakuno smiled.

"Now, Sakuno. You can't tell anyone that this is only a project. I'll explain after class." Yume said and Sakuno looked confused but, nodded anyway. "Let's go." Sakuno walked out of the room and back to her seat. After class Yume called for the two 'lucky' soon to be 'parents' to stay back. "Alright, Fuji earlier Sakuno put on an empathy belly which will grow just like a normal pregnant woman's belly would in the next nine months. You have to take care of her and her needs. By the way Sakuno try not to work him like a pack mule." She said while giggling. "Kami knows many pregnant women have done it to their husbands."

"I'll try." Sakuno joked and Fuji poked her in the ribs causing her to squeal. "Stop it! I was kidding!" Fuji just smiled. Yume laughed at the cute scene.

"See your'e both acting already like a couple! It's too kawaii! But, here's the catch. You have to pretend you are actually boyfriend and girlfriend. You have to pretend that you actually did the deed to get Sakuno pregnant. And, you can't tell anyone you're pretending." Yume said and Sakuno blinked a few times trying to take in that information.

"I don't see how that will be a problem." Fuji said and Sakuno turned to face him. "Right, Sakuno?" He said while looking at her with his eyes open and a soft...sweet smile on his face? She only could nod dumbly. How could she not? He looked so adorable! Yume giggled again.

"Alright! Well, you all can go on ahead. It's the end of the day. Oh, one more thing. Sakuno, you can't eat any thing that might harm the babies development like wasabi or string beans or anything like that. And, you can't do any strenuous activities that means no more tennis, gymnastics, or dance. But, you can continue chorus and art! Um, you might be able to try ball room dancing it's slow and won't harm the baby though." Yume said and Sakuno nodded. "Alright, you can't play tennis but you can always watch Fuji-san play! Um, for the gymnastics there's always that Kikumaru-san whose also on the tennis team. And, of course you should give the ballroom dancing a try. I hear Fuji-san's pretty good at it. Eek! I almost forgot! Here!" She handed Fuji a credit card.

"What's this Yume-chan?" Fuji questioned while fingering the card in his hand. Sakuno fingered it as well her fingers brushing over his. A shock of electricity went up their arms but, neither move away they only looked at each other which confirmed that the other had felt it.

"That is a credit card with three thousand dollars on it. Now, I am going to tell you something that I haven't told anyone other than my husband and family yet. Guys, I'm pregnant." Yume said and Sakuno squealed a wide smile on her face as she hugged her.

"Really? Promise, me I get to babysit!" Sakuno demanded. Yume laughed nodding and Sakuno squealed again hugging her once more.

"That's what the credit card is for. Eventually, people are going to question if you are really pregnant or not so you are going to go shopping for baby clothes, crib, the whole shebang! I already talked to my husband about it and he said it was fine with him for this idea. We already know the gender. It's a girl. So, you can tell everyone the gender." She said. "But, we are giving you the priviledge of painting the baby's room, picking out the furniture, decorating it, picking out her clothes, and the biggest responsibility of being a parent...picking out her name." Sakuno and Fuji looked at each other in shock.

"You want us to pick out your little girl's name?" Fuji questioned. Sakuno looked at Yume with disbelief. Who would allow to high school kids to name their baby.

"With our approval that is." Yume said with a serious look Sakuno sighed with relief. "Alright, with all that said you boh may go. And, you better hurry to your tennis practice Fuji-san!" Sakuno's face panicked before she grabbed Fuji's hand and jetted out the door.

"Hurry, Fuji or you'll have to run laps!" She yelled and the two were gone. Yume burst into laughter at the sight.

"Those two are going to end up together at the end of this so called' project'. What they don't know is that is she's actually pregnant." Yume said. "She'll think it's the empathy belly growing but, it's actually her. If only she knew what those blue marbles did." She sighed and touched her own stomach. "That's how I meet Megumi's daddy." She looked down out of the window to see Sakuno dragging Fuji towards the tennis courts. "You'll figure it out soon enough my students."

Fuji was currently being dragged towards the tennis courts by Sakuno. Well, not exactly being dragged. He was only making it seem like he was being dragged for her sake. "Sakuno-chan, wait one second." Fuji said as he gently pulled her to a stop. She turned to him a questioning look in her eyes. They had come to a stop under a sakura tree.

"I was thinking that since we have to pretend we have to be boyfriend and girlfriend we might as well make it official. So..." He dropped of his sentence and got down on to one knee. And, he removed something from around his neck. He adjusted what ever it was in his palm and closed his hands around it like a box. All it needed was a ribbon. Which Sakuno took off of one of her braids and tied it to his middle finger finishing the box look. "Sakuno, will you be my girlfriend, even though your'e already pregnant with my twins?" He asked and opened the makeshift 'box'.

Inside there was a silver flat penny sized tennis ball necklace with the initials 'FS' inscripted on it. She smiled and nodded. Fuji's smile widened and he stood before turning her around to clasp the necklace around her neck.

When he was done she fingered the necklace carefully. "Why are you giving this to me? It has your initials on it!" Sakuno said while looking up to him. He looked at her with a wide smile and his eyes opened.

"One time last year when Eiji had all of us over for a party we all talked about what we would do if we all got a girlfriend this year. I told them I would give her this." Fuji said as he fingered the necklace that was now around her neck.

"But, I'm not your real..." She started to say but, he put a finger to her lips silencing her. He cupped her cheek gently and stared into her pretty brown eyes.

"Yes, you are Sakuno. You are now Sakuno. I said that I was going to give this necklace to the girl I love..." Fuji stated and Sakuno's heart started to pound in her chest. "And, that girl is standing right in front of me." She cried in happiness at those words. Nobody knew it but, she had long since gotten over Ryoma. But, in the process fallen for Fuji Syuusuke. She threw herself into his arms hugging him tightly to her.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words, Fuji-senpai." Sakuno mumbled into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too Fuji-senpai." He smiled even wider than before at this new revalation.

"Syusuke." He said.

"What?" She questioned looking up at him under her eyelashes.

"Call me Syusuke. And, drop the senpai stuff." He said with a sweet smile and her cheeks went a bright pink just like he thought they would. 'Still Kawaii. I wonder what else I can do to make her blush?' He thought and he pulled her even closer than before if possible. "I love you, Sakuno. Please." And, with that her face went cherry red. 'Bingo.' She could only nod afraid to try to speak knowing that she would be stuttering like mad. He loosened his grip on her and her blush started to go down.

"Then, in that case. You gave me something that claims me as yours. So I'm giving you something that claims you as mine." Sakuno said as she fiddled around with something on her wrist finally there was a click and she smiled in victory. "Now, give my your right wrist and close your eyes completely and cover them with your jacket sleeve." Fuji smiled and did as told.

He felt something be latched around his wrist. "Alright open!" He opened his eyes to see a flat silver bracelet now on his wrist. It had cross like links and a plate top that was on the top of his wrist were the initials 'RS' were engraved. He smiled and began embracing her.

"Thank you, Sakuno. I love it...and you." He said. They just stood like that for what seemed like an eternity. Then, something clicked in Sakuno's mind as she grabbed Fuji's left wrist and looked at his wrist watch.

"Syusuke-kun!" Wow. She sure switched names fast. "You gotta hurry! Your twenty minutes late!" Fuji nodded before grabbing her hand and running off at the fastest pace that Sakuno could go.
