"Chirp, chirp!" sang some birds sweetly.

I was a typical Wednesday morning. The bright sun rays stop tracked at Ryoma's room as they were blocked of by his curtain which were never opened once. And it wouldn't be a surprise if you found mysterious things growing in his messy room.

"Damn birds!" Ryoma thought as he rubbed his eyes open. He simply rolled over and began snoring again.

Suddenly a loud "BANG!" echoed through Ryoma's room making Karupin jump.

"CHIBISUKE!" yelled Ryoga. "WAKE THE HELL UP!"

"Damn you, Ryoga! Can't a guy get some sleep?" shouted Ryoma making Karupin jump once more.

"Hey! Don't blame people for your damn lazy ass!" shot back Ryoga. "Anyway I came here to talk to you about something!"

"Fine! What do you want at..." Ryoma replied as he glanced at his clock. "5:34 in the morning?" Which was way to early for him to be awake.

"Other than waking you up early" Ryoga said. "Yesterday you've been in a daze. What's up with you, Chibisuke?"

"Betsuki" grumbled Ryoma and covered his head with his sheets.

"HEY DUMB ASS WAKE UP! Pay attention when some one is talking to you!"said Ryoga as he pulled his younger brother's sheet.

"Ryoma is currently busy right now. Please return the sheet and leave a message after the beep. Beep!" played Ryoma like an answering machine.

"Idiot! I don't know what Ryuzaki-Chan sees in you!" growled Ryoga and shut the door with a loud bang.

Ryoma's eyes when wild as his brother's last comment.

"WHAT THE HECK?" yelled Ryoma.

He heard a light chuckle before foot steps slowly disappearing.

"Damn you, Ryoga!" muttered Ryoma as he once more covered his head with his sheets.

But no matter how hard Ryoma tried to shut his eyes he just couldn't sleep.

"Stupid gay brother!" mummered Ryoma as he finally gave up and got out of bed.

He soon headed for the bathroom and did his bathroom needs. Then got dressed and headed down stairs to have breakfast. There he was greeted by the smell of pancakes and orange juice.

"Ohayo!" greeted both his mother and cousin, Nanako.

"Ohayo" muttered Ryoma as he pushed his chair away from the table.

"Your early today" commented Nanako.

"Che" he replied. "It's all his fault" answered Ryoma while pointing an accusing finger at Ryoga.

"Me?" croaked Ryoga innocently.

"Yeah you. You and your stupid comment!" shot Ryoma.

"You mean about Ryu-" replied Ryoga but was cut short when a piece of butter was flung to him.

"Shut up! You've already made my morning a living nightmare! At least do one good thing for me and keep your mouth shut!" barked Ryoma.

"Whatever, Chibisuke" said Ryoga as he sipped his Orange Juice, hiding a smirk behind it.

A few hours later. About 6:30 …

Ryoma walked goggely to school. Still half asleep due to lack of 1 hour sleep. He cursed and blamed his brother a few more times before heading to school, early.

As he walked the saw a familiar sight. A girl with twin long chocolate braids about 15 feet away from him. A smile plastered on her face.

"Ryuzaki?" he thought and squint his eyes a bit. He hoped his eye sight wasn't damage by lack of sleep. "It is her!" he thought once more after confirming it.

"Ryuzaki!" he said in a louder tone then he expected.

Sakuno stopped dead at her tracks.

"No! No, no, no, no, NO!" Sakuno repeated as she turn the other direction and ran.

Sakuno's figure slowly became smaller and smaller before Ryoma realized she was running away for him.

"Damn it!" Ryoma cursed under his breathe. He ran after her but lost her through a crowed of girls and ended up being chased by Fan Girls. As Ryoma ran further and further away. Sakuno came out of hiding.

"I'm sorry Ryoma-Kun" apologized Sakuno with a sad frown on her face. "This is for the best"

Through the whole day Ryoma had zero luck in finding Sakuno. He tried his best. He even resorted to Tomoka during lunch time but even she didn't know where Sakuno had gone. She wined a lot about the gossip she wanted to share to Sakuno.

In the end Ryoma was exhausted. He even came late to Tennis Practice.

"Echizen!" called out Captain Tezuka. "Your late. 30 laps. Now!"

Ryoma gave a loud sigh and began running his laps.

"Great! Just great! Not only am I exhausted now Tezuka might kill me with laps!" thought Ryoma sarcastically.

When Ryoma finally finished he was sweating like crazy.

"Oi, O-Chibi!" said Eiji Senpai said. "What's up with you today. You look pale"

"Betsuki" Ryoma simply replied.

"Yeah Ryoma. You look like you've seen a ghost" said Momo-Chan Senpai.

"Data shows he might have 70% trouble with his family, 10% trouble with school work, 10% trouble with tennis, 5% trouble with health and 5% trouble with females" spoke Inui Senpai.

Ryoma's eyes light up at Inui's last data about his trouble with females A.K.A Sakuno Ryuzaki.

"I'm fine" Ryoma lied.

"Are you sure. Maybe you should go home" said Oishi Senpai.

"Yeah" agreed Taka Senpai.

"What's all this about?" asked Couch Sumire Ryuzaki.

"Ryoma's sick today couch" replied Fuji Senpai.

"Is that so, Ryoma?" asked Couch Ryuzaki.

"Hn" said Ryoma in a husky voice.

"Fine then" said couch while rubbing her temples. "You are excuse. But before that can I talk to you in my office?"

Ryoma nodded and followed her to her office.

"What is it Couch Ryuzaki?" Ryoma asked.

"It's about Sakuno" she replied.

Ryoma's eyes grew a bit but then subside.

"What about her?" he asked in the same husky voice.

"She's been acting strange since yesterday. Since she respects you in a way. Can you help me figure why she's like this?"

"Wh-" said Ryoma but was cut short.

"You are excuse"

Ryoma frowned and left the office.

"Why can't you do it? You live in the same house! Geez!" muttered Ryoma once he was out of earshot. "Whatever I can ask her why she's been calling me 'Echizen-San' too"

"Shit!" grumbled Ryoma. "It's been a whole damn week and I've been repeatedly ignored by Ryuzaki" he silently said as he walked to school.

Then out of the blue he saw Sakuno Ryuzaki. She was less then 10 feet away from him.

"Ryuzaki" he said.

Sakuno turned and saw Ryoma. What else would she do? Run. Duh!

"Ryuzaki!" Ryoma said again.

Lucky for him he had enough energy to run and catch up to her. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her the other way. Sakuno stumbled on her feet. Trying to regain balance and almost fell but Ryoma caught her.

"You ok?" asked Ryoma holding her tightly by the arms.

"Ah! Echizen-San!" played Sakuno. "I didn't see you!"

"Stop playing dumb!" ordered Ryoma. "Why are you running away from me?"

"Huh?" said Sakuno trying to pull away from Ryoma but he only held her tighter. "What do you mean, Echizen-San? Like I said I didn't see until a minute ago"

"What's with you, Ryuzaki? You've been avoiding me for a week now!" Ryoma hissed squeezing her tighter.

"Umm… Echizen-San. Your hurting me" yapped Sakuno.

"Stop avoiding the question!" shot Ryoma.

"I- I'm not" trembled Sakuno.

"Then answer me!" said slowly Ryoma releasing his tight grip.

Sakuno stared into his honey yellow cat-like eyes. Mouth dry. Trying to think of what to say. But then …

"RING!"

"Th-That's the bell. I should get going" said Sakuno as she pushed Ryoma and ran off.

"Ryuzaki!" he called out really pissed off.

But she didn't turn back. She just ran and ran and ran until she disappeared among the crowed of students.

"Damn!" Ryoma muttered. "Damn!" he said a little louder and kicked a rock. "What the hell did I do wrong?"
