Author's Note: I'm very very sorry for a very very late update. Here's the next chapter and Thanks for everyone who had reviewed my first ever fic.

RECAP:

TENNIS COURT…

"Hey guys did you got an invitation from the DREAMS charity?" Oishi asked as he sat beside his long-term tennis partner.

Everyone nodded at Oishi's question. (A/N: Okay everyone means everyone in the old Seigaku Regulars also in the story the Seigaku Regukars are the top Japan Tennis Team.)

"Why?" Eiji asked when no said anything more.

"I want to know if you guys are going." Oishi said looking at all of them.

"I' am!" Fuji answered.

"Me too!" Eiji said.

"I'm going too and I'm bringing Ann with me." Momo said mentioning his fiancé.

"I'm going since I got nothing to do tomorrow night." Inui said as he and Kaidoh stood up and headed inside the court.

"Hey, Mamushi how about you are you going?" Momo shouted after Kaidoh.

"Yeah!" Kaidoh answered without looking back.

"How about you Taka, are you going?" Fuji asked looking at Kawamura who was watching all of them.

"Yup." Taka simply answered.

"Tezu…"

"I'm going with my wife especially when she is invited too." Tezuka answered cutting Oishi's sentence. (A/N: I know Tezuka married but really they're old now and people change. By the way Tezuka's wife is a model, he had met her during one of his games 2 years ago and then again for a photo shoot.)

"Then, that leaves Ochibi." Eiji said looking at Ryoma, "Are you coming Ochibi?" Eiji added.

"Since you guys are coming might as well come." Ryoma said a little bored. He then stood up and made his way to the nearest wall and started to practice with the wall while thinking about Sakuno, the woman he had love and still love and also the reason why he hadn't made his move towards her yet.

Chapter Two: Dance With Me

'The shoot today is canceled.' Sakuno thought after she finish talking with her manager on the phone. She sigh as she thought of something to do before the charity party tonight. Which happens to be going to the mall to buy herself a new party dress and shoes to match. (A/N: For the first time after being a singer. She's the one buying and not her stylist.)

AT THE PARTY...

"Can I see your invitation Sir?" The hostess asked as the man in front of Ryoma handed her his invitation.

Ryoma came with no date unlike his old sempais who had dates, well except for Inui, Kaidoh and Taka that is.

"Can I see your invitation Sir?" the hostess asked as Ryoma gave her his invitation. Taking a good look at the invitation and Ryoma's name, the hostess smiled and said, "Your table is at the far end of the right and your other friends are already there."

"Doumo." Ryoma simply answered and walk to the direction the hostess told her while at the same time pocketing the invitation.

Ryoma arrive at the table to see Tezuka and his wife already sited, so as Momo and Ann, Oishi with his date and last but not the least is Fuji and Eiji with their dates.

"Ah! our first bachelor had arrive." Eiji said when Ryoma had sited next to Oishi.

"Whatever." Ryoma simply said as he study his surrounding.

"The other bachelor has arrive to." Eiji said when he spotted Inui, Kaidoh and Taka making their way towards their table.

"We're fourteen, but there's another chair here." Oishi said when Inui, Kaidoh and Taka had already sat leaving an empty chair beside Ryoma.

"You're right." Momo said looking at the chair. "Maybe it's just an empty..."

"Momo?" Ryoma asked when Momo didn't finish his sentence.

Ryoma followed Momo's line of vission when he still didn't say anything as everyone did the same. What Ryoma saw had mesmerized him.

Sakuno walks toward the table the hostess had pointed her and as she came close to the table she heard a familiar voice and when she look at the owner of the voice, she saw the familiar face of momoshiroh Takeshi and not only that she recognized Ann herself and she also recognized each and every male on the table including her long lost love Ryoma Echizen.

RYOMA'S POV

'Is that Sakuno Ryuuzaki?' Ryoma thought as he eyed her from head to toe.

Sakuno is wearing a long red dress with slit on each side of her dress revealing some of the skin in her now well toned legs. And she was also wearing high heels shoes that match perfectly with her dress.

'Of course she is.' Ryoma thought still looking at Sakuno. 'She's just not the same old Sakuno I know.' Ryoma added as an image of the old Sakuno pop in his head.

END OF POV

SAKUNO'S POV

'Ryoma... Gosh his checking me up.' Sakuno thought as she felt a uneasy. 'I feel naked.' Sakuno added when Ryoma still hadn't remove his gaze from her.

Sakuno saw Oishi elbowed Ryoma on the side then she saw them have a small coversation before Ryoma stood up and headed towards her direction.

END OF POV

"Hi, long time no see. How have you been?" Ryoma asked as soon as he had stop in front of Sakuno.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Sakuno asked politely in return.

"Great!" Ryoma said looking at her. "You're in our table right?" Ryoma asked when Sakuno didn't say anything else.

"Hai." Sakuno answered, glad that Ryoma is trying to avoid the ackwardness that was froming between them.

"Then, shall we go to our table then?" Ryoma asked offering his arm to Sakuno who took it and said 'Yes'. And both made their way to their table.

Ryoma introduced Sakuno to the people she didn't recognized and after the introduction, dinner was serve, while eating they're talks about tennis, singing, acting and modeling. After dinner the director of the DREAM Charity made a speach thanking everyone for coming and donating, he especially thank the tennis player headed by Tezuka for making a plan to go to DREAMS and be with their fans there and for the one's who are strong enough would have a chance to play or even thought by the pro-tennis player. Of course Sakuno too for sponsoring DREAMS with a charoty concert that had yet to be prepared and discuss. After the talk the Emcee had opened the floor to everyone for dancing.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Three guys who came from the other tables asked Sakuno who was left on the table with ryoma. (A/N: Everyone went dancing while Inui and Kaidoh went to the men's room oh for Taka, he also went dancing with a brown-haired beauty that had caught his eyes.)

Sakuno was looking at the three guys when three more guys approach the table to asked her to dance with them.

Ryoma saw that Sakuno is having a guy trouble so he stood up and held his hand out to Sakuno and asked, "Care to dance with me?"

Well, that's it for this chapter. You guys tell me what you think!!!
