DISCLAIMER: I don't own Prince of Tennis
CHAPTER THREE
Ryoma woke up with a start, sweat running down his forehead and he is pretty sure that he is blushing at the moment with the dream he just had which involved a certain brunette girl.
'meow' karupin, he's beloved cat mewled at his master who seem to wake a bit earlier than usual.
Ryoma picked his cat and stare at him.
"I just have the most amazing and a bit embarrassing dream ever." Ryoma said to his cat, who just stared at him as if asking his master to tell him about his dream. Ryoma sighed and put down his cat. He looked at his alarm clock on top of his bedside table and find out that it is still very early. 'hmm, might as well start my day early.' Ryoma thought and went to his bathroom. (he has his own bathroom inside his room.)
Inside the bathroom Ryoma think back about the dream he just have.
DREAM:
She was beneath him, moaning his name with her sweet voice.
'Ryoma-kun' she moaned as he licked his way from her collarbone up to her sweet lips capturing it.
He kissed her softly at first, turning hotter and passionate as the seconds tick by. He bit her lower lip asking her permission for entrance and when she granted him entry he explored her mouth hungrily, tasting her sweet taste. Then Ryoma urged her to copy his movement and when she did Ryoma can't help not to groan. She's just too sweet. When they both need to breathe Ryoma, though unwillingly let go.
'Sakuno' he breathed out and started kissing and sucking her neck.
'Ryoma-kun'
Ryoma stared at her once again and pressed his body closer to her and he started to lower himself slowly to her but before anything happened he woke up.
END DREAM
Ryoma felt his cheeks burning again and wondered why on earth did he dream something like that with Sakuno of all people. Now he wondered how the hell will he be able to face her again without remembering that dream.
'It was a nice dream though.' Ryoma thought and smacked himself mentally for thinking such a perverted thought, but it just that he can't really deny that a part of him really like it.
'Tch, stupid oyaji he contaminated me with his perverted thoughts.' Ryoma thought and just blame his father.
Sakuno hummed softly as she place the food she cooked on her Bento boxes after making sure that everything is in there she carefully placed the lid and tie the handkerchief on it.
'I hope he'll like this' Sakuno thought and smiled
She woke up extra early today to prepare this bento for a certain person with dark greenish hair and golden cat-like eyes.
After telling Tomoka about her departure the girl asked her friend when she will tell Ryoma about her departure then Sakuno replied with a sad tone:"why would he bother, I'm just a nuisance to him anyway."
"Nonsense Sakuno! Did he actually tell you that himself huh?"
"No, but-"
"Urgh, that's the problem with you Sakuno. You always make assumptions. Can't you see, Ryoma-sama likes you."
"O-Of c-course not! Tomo-chan where did you get such ideas? Ryoma-kun would never fall for someone like me." Sakuno whisphered the last part.
"There you go again making yourself down. Look Sakuno you're the prettiest girl in the school and you can't even see that for yourself because your too humble, not that it's bad, but it's too much that it's not healthy for you anymore, know what I mean?"
"But that doesn't mean that he likes me."
"Oh puhlease Sakuno. Almost half the school boy's population is in-love with you! Even Ryoma-sama show signs that he's interested in you. Like for example, when you give him chocolates during valentines day, your chocolate is the only one he accepted, not even mine, just yours. And don't you dare say that he accepted it because you're his coaches' granddaughter, because that is so outdated." Tomoka quickly said the last part before Sakuno could say something.
"Look Sakuno, your kind, caring and beautiful inside and out you just have to be more confident in yourself okay? And trust me when I told you that Ryoma-sama likes you because I know from the way he looks at you. Even the others notice it!" Tomoka said exasperatedly. 'This girl is too naïve for her own good sigh'
"I think your right Tomo-chan" Sakuno quietly said making Tomoka looked her way.
"Y-you see y-yesterday a-after I receive the news I started to cry and R-Ryoma-kun comforted me." Sakuno said blushing as she remembers how Ryoma comforted her.
"He did? See Sakuno he likes you. I bet he would never do that to anyone except you." Tomoka excitedly said. "So how did he comfort you huh?"
"He hugged me." Sakuno whisphered softly.

"Waaaahhhhh! Oh my God Sakuno you are soo lucky! I just knew it! He's not just like you I bet he loves you already. You shouldn't let this opportunity slip Sakuno. You should confess to him and then the two of you would be a couple and then you'll go to the same school after graduation. You will be the most talked about couple in the school Sakuno. I can now picture it Ryoma and Sakuno forever!" Tomoka gushed excitedly not noticing how Sakuno's expression turned sad.
"Tomo-chan…" Sakuno said softly
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Sakuno I forgot." Tomoka quickly said remembering that Sakuno would be leaving soon.
"It's okay Tomo-chan. I don't think I have the courage to tell him my true feelings and even if I have it won't matter because I'll be leaving him anyway. So there's no point confessing to him because if he did say yes it would only hurt the both of us when I leave. It's better that we stay friends so I won't have sad memories when I left." Sakuno sadly said.
"Sakuno…" Tomoka said. Looking at Sakuno's sad expression she can't help but feel sad too. Sakuno is so kind. She doesn't deserve to feel this way. So to end their topic Tomoka simply smiled and hugs her best friend. "It'll be okay Sakuno, don't worry."
"Thank you Tomo-chan" Sakuno said and hugs her friend back.
"But you know Tomo-chan, I think I should thank Ryoma-kun for comforting me yesterday so maybe I'll make him a bento tomorrow. Would you help me choose what to cook?" Sakuno asked as their broke their hug a small smile on her face as Tomoka excitedly agree and started saying a list of food she can cook for Ryoma. 'I'll miss this.' Sakuno thought as she smiled at Tomoka's energetic self.
BACK TO THE PRESENT:
Sakuno stop her reminiscence when she heard her grandmother walked down the stairs.
"Ohayo Obaa-chan." Sakuno happily greeted her grandmother.
"You sound extra happy today Sakuno. Did something happen?"
"Eh? Nothing much, I just thought that it would be better to spend my remaining time here in Japan being happy than dwell myself in being gloomy and sad." Sakuno explained and Sumire just smiled.
"Well, I think it's great. I will be going then." Sumire said as she approached the door.
"But aren't you going to eat breakfast obaa-chan?" Sakuno asked.
"We have an early meeting today so I'll just eat at the cafeteria, but don't skip your breakfast okay? Bye."
"Hai obaa-chan, I won't!" Sakuno smiled as she closed their front door. She went to the kitchen and eats her breakfast after that she washed the dishes and started to fix herself for school. She looked at the time but it's still early.
'Oh well, might as well be early than late.' Sakuno thought and with that she left their house and went to school.
Ryoma lazily walked towards the school. The sun shining brightly above him. 'Good weather for tennis.' Ryoma thought and remember what happened the other day with Sakuno. After she ran off he looked for her only to find her with the team and laughing with Osakada. 'Stupid girl, one moment she's crying and the next she's laughing.' Ryoma thought but a small smile can be seen in his face. 'Then again it's better that she's smiling than crying. Though I wonder why she's crying.' Ryoma's thought was abruptly stooped when he heard someone called him.
"Oi Echizen!" Momoshiro Takeshi called and slapped Ryoma on his back. "Ho ho ho you're up early today. Going to pick up your girlfriend huh?" Momo asked teasingly
"I don't have a girlfriend." Ryoma replied bored.
"Eh? Then why does Sakuno-chan looks like she's waiting for you there?"
"Huh?" Ryoma felt his heart skip a beat when Momoshiro mentioned Sakuno's name. He quickly looked to the place where Momoshiro is looking and find no one there.
"Hahahahaha got you! I knew it you like Sakuno-chan. Just admit it" Momoshiro laugh.
Ryoma being caught red handed tries to suppressed his blush and deny his feelings for Sakuno. "Che! I don't like her!"
"Sheesh Echizen you should really just admit it now, it's already obvious. You get angry whenever she missed practiced. You get worried every time she's sick and you get jealous whenever boys get too close to her."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know Echizen if you keep that damn attitude of yours you might just be too late to claim her yours!" Momoshiro said angrily. He didn't know why but he just felt pissed towards Ryoma's attitude. "You shouldn't take her for granted Echizen."
Silence ensued….
"Sigh, just confess to her Echi-"
"It's not that simple Sempai!" Ryoma said more like shouted. He has enough of Momoshiro's lecture. Although he knows that Momo was just trying to help him he just couldn't take it anymore. He knows that he shouldn't be taking Sakuno for granted but what can he do? Even though he's a formidable player inside the court he just couldn't bring that confidence of his when he's in front of her. he is new to this department and he doesn't want to screw things up with Sakuno for as scared as he is in losing his pride it doesn't compare to the feeling of losing Sakuno.
"This is my stop sempai, see you around." Ryoma replied and walked to the other direction.
"Echizen… " Momoshiro said to himself still astounded at Ryoma's outburst.
Sakuno walked through the empty hallway of their school 'I didn't think I'm this early' Sakuno thought but nevertheless smiled. She needed peace and quiet for a while. She happily walked to her classroom humming a tune and sit on her chair thinking of everything that happened in her life. All the persons she met and became friends with especially the regulars and the person who inspired her to play tennis. She blush thinking about that person. She's too absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that there was already someone inside the room even before she came, watching with wonder on how someone can looked as peaceful and serene as she is.
'She's so much like an angel.' That someone thought.
Sakuno still oblivious to her surrounding stand up and went to the window and watch the fluttering of the Sakura petals. She inhaled deeply the scent of the flowers and smiled widely.
"Yosh! This will be a great day!" Sakuno shouted raising both her arms in the air.
"Ahem"
Sakuno quickly turned around and felt her cheeks turning red.
