Again, I am SO sorry for not posting this up earlier. I NEED suggestions? Please? Or else I will live a life without finishing the story...I stink. Yes, I know.

Sakuno looked around the school frantically with a small bento box in her hands. Where could he be? She wondered, biting her lip and dashing quietly down the hallway.
"SAKUNO!"
Sakuno winced at the sound of a familiar voice. "T-Tomo-chan..."
Tomoka bounced towards her best friend. She stared at the bento box. "Uwaah! Is that for Ryoma-sama? Lemme see, lemme see!"
Sakuno held it out of her friend's reach. "N-No, Tomo-chan...This is Ryoma-kun's lunch! You have your own..."
"But Sakuno... Your lunches are the best! Can you make one for me tomorrow, then?" Tomoka pouted.
"Tomorrow, sure..." Sakuno muttered distractedly, peering over the crowd of students. She caught a sight of green-tinted hair. "Ryoma-kun!"
She ran towards the figure and put a hand on what she thought was his shoulder...

Ukyou was shoving the other hungry students aside; she needed to get to the classroom! But the annoying crowd of people wouldn't let her get through.
"LEMME GET THROUGH, YOU STINKING HEAP OF ASSHOLES!!" she roared, but it was so loud in the hallway that it was drowned out by the students' own chattering.
"Ryoma-kun!"
She felt a hand on her shoulder.
Ukyou turned around, utterly confused. "Huh?"
At this, Sakuno turned a dark red. "U-um...!"
Ukyou blinked a few times, then she laughed. "Yeah, yeah. You probably saw the hair and thought it was Ryo, right?"
Sakuno nodded sheepishly. "I'm sorry..."
Ukyou waved her arms in front of her. "Nah, it's fine! I get that a lot, you know?" Ukyou stared at the bento box in her hands. Then she grinned. "Is that for Ryo?" she teased, nudging her with her elbow.
Sakuno blushed harder and stuttered, "Um...uhm...!"
"SAKUNO! Why'd you leave me?!" Tomoka was pushing past the crowd and sighed heavily once she got to her. She looked up. "Oh, Echizen-san." She stated.
"Osakada..." Ukyou acknowledged bluntly. Then she turned away from the loud-mouthed girl and told Sakuno, "Ryuzaki, Ryo might be outside, sleeping or something. He was studying for a test, I think; he kept me up all night!"
"It's because this mark is important. Anyway, knowing you, you might've failed. You merely glanced at the study sheet, and you were out cold half a millisecond later."
Ukyou twisted round. "Ryo!" she whined, banging his shoulder with her clenched fist. Then she tapped Sakuno on the back and winked at her before running into her classroom.

"Hello, Ukyou-chan. We seem to be seeing each other a lot these days."
Ukyou looked at the Rikkai team nervously. "Eh...yeah..."
"Ukyou! Stop dawdling! 50 laps around the courts!" Tezuka shouted, glaring at the younger Echizen twin.
Ukyou gaped, her jaw hanging open. "WHA – DUH – WHAT DID I DO?!" she screamed, making everyone wince.
"60!"
"WHAT?!"
"70!"
"But – !"
"I'll keep increasing the number! 80!"
"BUCHOU, YOU'RE SUCH A – !"
"Ok, that's it! 100!"
"I DON'T LIKE TO SUFFER!"
"...Do you wish for me to go higher?"
Ukyou stood and glared at her captain for a full minute before grumbling insults under her breath and taking off.
Why does everyone like making me suffer?! She wailed inwardly, pumping her arms back and forth to the steady rhythm of her feet hitting the ground.
"Saa, Ukyou-chan. Looks like I'll be joining you."
Ukyou snapped her head up, yelping as her neck cracked unintentionally. "Fuji-senpai!"
Fuji smiled at her gently.
"What did you do?"
"I offered his some of Inui's drink."
"...uh...huh..." Ukyou sweat dropped, as she ran past the rest of the team.
"Ukyou-chan, would you like some?"
"N-N-N-N-N...NO THANK YOU!"
They ran together in silence, Fuji a step faster than Ukyou. "Ne, senpai?"
"Hm?"
"Why's Tezuka-senpai the buchou?"
"Why? Because Yamato-buchou asked him to, didn't he?"
"No, I mean, why didn't be become a military trainer or something?" Ukyou scowled, turning the corner a second after Fuji did.
Fuji stared at her blankly before chuckling quietly. "I don't know, Ukyou-chan. I really don't know."

"Un-un-ngh..." Ukyou gasped for breath as she lay on the court, face-down after her run.
Tezuka walked to her and helped her up. He stared at her sweat-trickling face before handing her a towel. "At least it helps your stamina."
"Ow...my chest hurts..." She lay back down and stared at the sky.
"Ukyou, you're in the middle of a tennis court. Get up before you get – !"
Too late.
Someone had stepped on Ukyou's face when they were chasing a fateful tennis ball.
Kirihara looked down and reacted instantly. "...Hoo boy..."
"OOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!! THAT HURT, YOU OVERGROWN MONKEY!!"
Ukyou's scream echoed through the school and down the streets.
-
-
"Ow! Stop whacking me!"
"All! Your! Fault! For! Giving! Me! A! STUPID! NOSEBLEED!!" Ukyou exclaimed, whacking Kirihara for every word she said.
"Ow! Let me – OW! WILL YOU STOP IT?"
"NO!"

Yes, short chappie. Ok, I'm getting tired of saying 'sorry' for every chapter, so yeah. I'm sorry. I won't go into details. I'm quite...drained.
CYAZ NEXT TIME! (which is hopefully REALLY soon...)
