~ Chapter two:
There are three figures standing among sturdy looking trees, small streams of light illuminating the background around the figures, it only had been enhancing with the falling green leaves like confetti. Their murmur will be accompanied with the occasional whisper of rustling leaves by soft wiping breeze and twittering songs of birds, back-up by the low twit of insect.
The melody only nature can create.
But as much as the three people want to enjoy this, the inner turmoil they currently felt would never let them out of its grasp.
_~Flashback~_
*ring* *ring*
The telephone rang throughout the hallways of Ryuzaki resident, calling for attention.
"Wait, I'm coming!" A brunette call out, she hastily run down the wooden stair case, breathing.
"Moshi-moshi"
At first theirs only the sound of rustling of fabric, until someone in the other line clear their throat.
A deep velvety voice of a male answer "hello, is that you Saa-chan"
The brunette froze at the mention of familiar pet-name and voice.
"Yes, this is Sakuno speaking, May I know who's this?" she inquired softly, although she already have an idea but she wants to confirm first.
A silky chuckle escape on the other line that probably would make anyone weak on the knees female or not, It's been awhile since she heard something to this person.
"Silly, did you already forget your fuku-taicho? How mean" the male voice said in a mock hurt tone.
"Yuu-kun it's been long, how are you?" she said in a soft gentle voice.
"Ah! Life here has been the same, except two missing people... you know the whole team miss the two of you" the young man now know as Yuu said his tone suddenly change form happiness to melancholy.
Sakuno's eyes soften at the words from the young man, she too is longing to be with the people she cherishes. The day when she needs to go to Japan is the only time she let anybody she her tears other than her family and best friend, Sakuno seldom showing her true emotion, when she's a nothing but a little child her grandfather said that showing emotion to other people is a sign of weakness, only you can do in front of those people you trust simply because they care.
"Yes, I know we miss the whole team, life here is boring without you guys" she said softly
"If it's not for the Seigaku team here I die of utter boredom" she said jokingly
God how he love to stand in the court and play until her hearts content without worrying if someone or anyone will see. She couldn't wait for that to happen but now is not the right time. Both of them know that.
"Don't worry soon you can do whatever you want, by the way theirs a reason why I call..." he stops as if for dramatic effect somehow she knew his smirking on the other line.
She herself is skeptic and curios as to why he suddenly calls. Normally they will update with each other via e-mail.
The next words escape his lips made her whole world freeze up.
_~Flashback~_
She chuckle softly at the memory
How funny, those words …
Words
They are nothing but merely words consist of letters and use for communication, most of the time insignificant to others, but to her is enough to turn her life up side down, nothing will be the same again. She just knew it.
"Sakuno..." the deep smooth voice of Tezuka Kunimitsu interrupt her musing, she look at her sempai and smile to reassure him she's fine.
"Kunimitsu, what do you think of the situation?" she asked him, while a pair of strong arms encircle her waist, turning slightly she caught Syusuke Fuji's gorgeous blue eyes gazing at her lovingly, Fuji nuzzle the silky auburn hair.
Hmm…strawberry and mocha one of my favorite combinations Fuji thought yes close to savor the scent and feeling of his little tenshi knowing that he wouldn't have a chance to do that for awhile.
Tezuka watch the scene unfolding in front of him, a small smile graze his lips, unnoticeable but still a smile nonetheless, he move his arms to cupped her right cheek fondly, tracing her lips in a longing manner and wipe out the emotion immediately before it overcome his self-control.
Retracting his hand albeit reluctant "for now we will keep this information to ourselves, does Ryuzaki-sensei know about this" he asked monotonously as if he did not shows a un-Tezuka like behavior just a seconds ago.
"Hai, I already inform Obaasan she will take care of this" she answered and adds "for now focus on the approaching game"
Tezuka nodded in agreement, after talking a bit more they decided to go back the courts before anyone decide to play spy on them.
Unknown to them someone already did, said spy is currently up the rooftop with a telescope and grinning like a maniac and furiously scribbling on a book thought what no one knows but the high heavens.
