Sakuno looked away making eye contact with Ryoma was making her nervous

"hey I asked you a question" said Ryoma a little ticked of

"oh sorry Ryoma-kun I um came with Ann-chan but she um left with Momo-san" said Sakuno

"well I guess I'm your date" mumbled Ryoma with a slight blush

And Sakuno turned red again

"lets go" ryoma muttered

And Sakuno followed him to the trail

It was a dark trail faintly lit by lanterns with a slight breeze

"why did Ryom-kun have to be my partner now I'm scared and nervous" thought Sakuno

Suddenly a paper ghost popped out of the tree 3 inches away from Sakuno's face

"kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" screamed Sakuno at the top of her lungs

And Sakuno eyes snapped shut and she grabbed the closest thing to her

"eh are you ok" asked Ryoma as he watched Sakuno tremble while she was attached to his arm

Sakuno then opened her eyes and quickly let go

"eh sorry Ryoma-kun I shouldn't have done that" whispered Sakuno

"its fine" said Ryoma as he pulled the rim of his hat down to cover his blush

As they continued to walk Ryoma then looked out of the corner of his eye he saw Sakuno trembling a few steps behind him

"your so slow" snapped Ryoma as he took a hold of Sakuno's hand and Sakuno was shocked

They continued down the path then Sakuno didn't notice a bump in the path way and she fell

"ah" yelled Sakuno

But she fell on Ryoma's back causing Ryoma to fall

"ow, hu oh my gosh um I'm s..s..so sorry Ryoma kun" said Sakuno blushing

"ya I heard you now get off of me" said Ryoma

"sorry" said Sakuno as she stood up

But Sakuno's ankle twisted ad she fell back on Ryoma as he was getting up and when they both fell facing each other that their faces were bright red from being so close

"ah sorry Ryoma-kun I'm so sorry" yelled Sakuno

"Its fine so come on lets go" said Ryoma as they continued down the path

"Ryoma-kun thank you for um coming with me I uh really um appreciate you coming with me" whispered Sakuno shyly

"ya" said Ryoma

When Ryoma and Sakuno reached the exit Momo and Ann at the exit.

"hey it looks you two had fun" said Momo

"hm" said Ryoma as he looked down to find out that he was still holding hands with Sakuno! They quickly let go and blushed

"damn it, now he's guna tell everyone on the team" cursed Ryoma mentally

But before anyone could say anything Ryoma's phone rang so he answered it

"hello" asked Ryoma

"hey brat we're going to America for a few days so you'll stay with that old hag " said his father

"but" muttered Ryoma

"no buts brat you will do as I say " snapped his father

"fine" muttered Ryoma and hung up

"hey Echizen I'm guna take Ann home so see ya, play nice with your girlfriend you hear " yelled Momo as they walked away

And they both blushed

"um Ryoma-kun is everything all right" whispered Sakuno

"ya lets go" muttered Ryoma as he walked to Sakuno's house

"ok thank you Ryoma-kun bye" said Sakuno when they got to her house

"my dad said I should stay here for a few days while their away" said Ryoma

"eh but Ryoma-kun I don't think um" mumbled Sakuno

"please Sakuno" whispered Ryoma with a slight blush

And Sakuno's face turned bright red

"Ryoma-kun called me my name" Sakuno mentally shouted

"o…k…Ryoma-kun" stuttered Sakuno as she let him inside

"thank you" said Ryoma

"I'll go make dinner" Sakuno whispered headed for the kitchen and Ryoma went to the living room

(an hour later)

"Ryoma-kun uh food is um ready" called Sakuno

"hm" said Ryoma as he walked and sat down at the table

"hm so looks cute in an apron, WAIT what am I thinking" thought Ryoma as he ate

'its good" whispered Ryoma

"ah thank you" said Sakuno in surprise

Sakuno then went to her room and Ryoma fallowed her and Sakuno opened the door and stepped inside

"ok Ryoma-kun you can sleep here, my Grandmother's room is locked for some reason" said Sakuno

Then she left the room

"hm so this is her room" thought Ryoma as he looked around the bright colored room

Then he walked over to her desk and saw something that made him curious it was a scrap book labeled

THE PRINCE OF TENNIS and Ryoma smirked as he flipped to the first page

he blushed because the first picture was the one at the sushi shop of him and Sakuno.

He continued to flip the pages and their were more and more pictures of him out of anybody else which made Him blush harder

"Ryoma-kun I brought you some blankets" said Sakuno as she opened the door

"don't you mean prince of tennis-sama" smirked Ryoma

Sakuno's mouth dropped and dropped the blankets she also turned bright red when she saw her scrap book in his hands

"Ryoma-kun" yelled Sakuno tried to take it out of his hands but Ryoma didn't let her.

"no" said Ryoma

"but why Ryoma-kun" yelled Sakuno

"hm what should I do, hm I got it" thought Ryoma

"call me Ryoma" commanded Ryoma

"hu" said Sakuno

"call me Ryoma and I'll give you the book" he said

"um ok Ryo.. .uh.. um…Ryoma" stuttered Sakuno blushing the brightest red you'd ever seen

and that made Ryoma's heart beat faster and he gave back the book

And Sakuno made a bed for Ryoma on the floor and they both laid down. Sakuno in her bed and Ryoma on the floor

"hey Ryoma-kun why did you make me say your name" mumbled Sakuno

But Ryoma just shrugged and they and fell asleep.

(12:00 pm)

Ryoma heard a thud and woke up

He turned and his face turned all red because Sakuno had fallen off her bed and onto Ryoma's bed her head was on his chest and her body has half way on top of him so he couldn't move!

"Ryoma-kun" mumbled Sakuno

"hm" said Ryoma but he looked to find she's still asleep so that must mean she talks in her sleep

"hu I wonder if she'll answer questions in her sleep" thought Ryoma

"hey Ryuzaki can you hear me" whispered Ryoma

"mm Ryoma-kun I tell you call .. me ..Sakuno" mumbled Sakuno

Ryoma was so lucky he accidentally brought his tape recorder so he could record this conversation he put it next to Sakuno and pressed record

"so um Sakuno do you like Ryoma" said Ryoma blushing

"mm I love Ryoma "mumbled Sakuno

Ryoma couldn't breath he was so shocked he swore his face never felt hotter.

"S .. Sakuno will you be Ryoma's girlfriend" asked Ryoma blushing

"No" mumble Sakuno

Ryoma was shocked he never felt so depressed in his life

"why" asked Ryoma

"I don't want to be Ryoma's girlfriend because" mumbled Sakuno

Ryoma snapped is eyes shut he couldn't bear the answer

"I want to be his WIFE" Mumbled Sakuno

And Ryoma's eyes flew open then he felt really happy that he actually felt a tear run down his cheek.

He then pressed the stop button and lesson to the conversation over and over again
