Chapter 2: Finding Out
The Next Day George and Sakuno decided to walk to school together to talk about the advice that George received yesterday from her brother.
"George-kun, are you going to do what nii-chan says?"
"Hmm, oh I'm still not really sure yet."
"But Oishi-sempai said that it's alright didn't he? That he wanted you to do what you thought was right for the team?"
"I know, but Oishi always does what's right for the club or for someone else. He never really thought about what was good for him. I can't listen to him on this."
"But George-kun-"
"You know what? I don't think I want to talk about this anymore. We are here anyways so I'm going to go. Bye." And with that, George walked away. Sakuno just stared after him and walked away. She then decided to go and find her Mitsu-nii. She found him near the tennis courts waiting for all the others. "Mitsu-nii?"
Tezuka turned his head slightly to acknowledge that he heard her. She could tell that he was still a little upset with her. "Mitsu-nii, I'm sorry. I know that I shouldn't have done that. I guess I don't know what I was thinking, but I just don't like to see you getting mad and-"
"Sa-chan, its fine."
"But Mitsu-nii-"
"Sakuno, I said its fine." She could tell that he was serious, so she just decided to stop talking and just gave him a kiss on the cheek. While she was doing this, the other regulars returned and were looking at them with wide eyes all except for Oishi and Fuji, who just opened his eyes. Now all Sakuno meant it to mean was that she was sorry and when she turned around she saw Ryoma glaring at them with all the other regulars.
"Ryoma-kun?" Ryoma just turned around and started to walk away. Sakuno was bewildered. She then looked at the other regulars for answers.
"Sakuno-chan?! How could you do that to O'chibi?!" Eiji exclaimed.
"What are you talking about Eiji-sempai? Do what to Ryoma-kun?" Tezuka, overhearing the conversation, decided to intervene. "Eiji, nothing was going on. Ryuuzaki was just apologizing for yesterday. There is no need to be over-dramatic."
After that, everyone calmed down. And Fuji, being the sadist that he is said, "Ahh well Tezuka, you and Sakuno-chan looked very intimate there so it's only expected for us to be worried."
And with that, Tezuka just glared at him while Sakuno blushed. "Ohh was that why Ryoma-kun was mad? Oh no, I have to go find him and explain. I'll see you later minna-san." And with that she left.
"I hope Echizen isn't to mad."
Ryoma was mad, that much was simple. He never really did like the way buchou would always have an almost-human expression on his face whenever Sakuno was around. God, he just wanted to kill his buchou.
Pok.
Pok.
Pok.
Sakuno found Ryoma hitting a tennis ball rather hard at a wall. She sighed. She knew that this wasnâ–“t going to be easy.
"Ryoma-kun?" Pok.
Pok.
Pok.
Ryoma didn't do anything to acknowledge her presence and just kept hitting his tennis ball.
Once more, she sighed. "Ryoma-kun, please stop and look at me." She received an answering Pok. POK.
He didn't stop, so she tried once again but in a firmer voice that she hardly ever used with him. "Ryoma, stop now and look at me. At least give me a chance to explain. Please?" He then sighed and turned around, but he had a hard glare on his face. "Alright what?"
"Nothing is happening between Mi- Tezuka-buchou and I. I was just apologizing for entering the court yesterday. That's all." Ryoma just stared at her.
"I swear." With that, Sakuno decided to just come up and hug him, and that's exactly what she did. Ryoma didn't do anything. "Ryoma-kun, please believe me."
Ryoma looked down at her and saw her pleading eyes. He sighed and just hugged her back. "God, but did you have to kiss his cheek?"
"I only meant it in a platonic way. You know that, don't you?"
"Yea, yea, but god did you really need to do it?" "Ryoma Echizen. Are you...jealous?"
"..."
"Alright, I'm sorry. I won't kiss anyone but you, nii-chan, and Obaa-chan, alright? Happy?"
He just smirked at her and said, "Mada mada dane."
Sakuno just laughed at him and gave him a kiss. "I hate it when you say that."
"Why do you think I always say it, huh?"
Sakuno just stared at him and then said,"God, you are such a jerk," while slapping him playfully on the arm.
He smirked at her. "C'mon, we better get to class before we are late."
So yea, hope you like it. Umm I'm kinda stuck on where to go after this so any suggestions will help greatly.
