Okay, Sakuno was slightly surprised at the remarkable recovery or her cut. Although there was a slightest scar where the cut had been. She had decided to go out for a morning jog to get back into shape although she was skinny enough; she wanted to get her stamina back up to scratch she had let it slip while Ryoma was away. She opened her door stepped outside and locked it up once more. She wore a short blue skirt with white shorts underneath and a white t-shirt with a blue tank top on top. Although it was warm out Sakuno was cold and decided to be stylish and warm. She turned on her Ipod and, put it into her ears, she started to listen to Ayumi Hamasaki 'still alone', with that she put her Ipod, phone and keys into her bum bag, and set off jogging. Sakuno set off on her usual route but got distracted by a cute little cat at the side of the road she started to play with it, but then remembered she was suppose to be jogging, with that she said goodbye to cat but wasn't really paying attention to where she was heading and so she took the wrong turn, as we all know how bad Sakuno is at directions. As she starts to slow down she realises that she has come the wrong way. Sakuno starts to slow down altogether into a slow walk to find out where she is.

"Mou, stupid cat distracted me," she complained as she kept looking at where she was. As Sakuno kept walking, she walked past a group of scary looking thugs. She walked past them quickly trying not to make eye contact, but she ended up at a dead end.

"Tut tut tut missy you should of watched where you were going… but I don't mind girls who are senseless at direction they just need more guidance if you get my drift!" he was on of the thugs that Sakuno had walked past before, the gang leader by the way he was acting. Sakuno was scared but wasn't going to show them.

"Hah… just because I'm not good at directions does not mean I don't know the difference between decent men and the likes of you… so if you don't mind I would like to leave now" she shot back as she walked towards them, only to be stopped.

"Your not going anywhere missy! Not till I get my needs sorted too, especially after that comment you just made" he spat at Sakuno.

"I don't think so, now let me past" Sakuno exclaimed as she tried to push past. It was useless her arms might have got stronger because of tennis but they aren't that strong to get past a bunch of guys.

"Well I do!" the gang member sneered as he picked Sakuno up by the neck and threw her against the wall behind her.

"Ittai" she mumbles rubbing her back, she looked up to see him coming closer, and some of the gang members scattering.

"Do you agree yet?" he shot at her. Sakuno pushed her self up so she was in a sitting position.

"No, I'm not some little slut you can boss around!" she spat in his face and tried to get up to make a run for it but the gang member was too fast, and kicked her in the stomach making her collapse on the floor in pain, she coughed up a little blood and looked at the gang member. He looked as if he had an evil glint with in his eye; she followed his eyes to find him looking at part of her torn top which must of happened when she was flung against the wall. Sakuno tried to cover it as much as she could but the gang leader already guessed what she would do and so he forced, her hands together and pulled her up, he then pinned her against the wall. When the part of her torn top was, he grabbed it and pulled hard. It revealed her creamy white chest and her pink bra. Sakuno gasped and looked away disgusted. The leader started to feel Sakuno's body as she tried to struggle he slapped her across the face leaving a red mark. She looked down at her now dirty milky skin, tears started to whelm up in her eyes, all she though about was how disgusted Ryoma would be if he found out. As the tears started to roll down her cheeks the leader lifted her chin and moved closer to her lips.

"Your going to get what you deserve you little slut" he spat at her.

Sakuno just looked down once more only to get her chin forced up once again, his lips were only centimetres away from hers. Sakuno tried not to breathe in the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, which were from his clothes and breath. As the member moved closer to forcing Sakuno into kissing him, a voice came from behind.

"That's no way to treat a lady" the masculine voice from the shadows said, he was bouncing a tennis ball off a tennis racket. Sakuno's eyes widened when she realised it was Ryoma standing there.

"Ryoma…" she breathed.

"Is he your boyfriend eh…" the leader scoffed.

"I wish to think I was" Ryoma replied, Sakuno widened her eyes at this and struggled once more only to get slapped.

"Definitely not a way to treat a lady especially mine" Ryoma spat as he aimed a twist serve at the leader, it hit him in the back of the head hard and so he rubbed it and turned round to come face to face with Ryoma Echizen, as he did this he dropped Sakuno and she fell to the floor in a lump but quickly recovered to hide herself from Ryoma; his eyes were concerned and anger flowed through them he was going to beat the guy into a pulp. After a couple of minutes of using not just a racket and tennis ball but also fist, Ryoma had left the guy with multiple injuries as Sakuno pleaded with him to not hurt him too much as she wasn't that hurt.

Ryoma went over to her and put her jacket over her. She stood up and fell straight into his arms sobbing.
