AN: Minna-san, ogenki dess ka? My ideas keep on flowing and flowing, too excited to get this fics update and I would like to thank the following readers for their reviews:

Abc – Oh, I'm glad you found my story exciting TT, I'm so happy!! I hope this chappie won't disappoint you!!

The Eiji Cat – I like that phase myself too!! Hee...hee, oh, like I mentioned before, please do expect more pairings!! I'm trying to build more charisma on Sakuno, otherwise it would not consider as a Sakuno-centric, I guess? Oh, you've already known the Jubei's stuff? Cool!! I found that story really exciting and funny!!

And here's chappie 3 dedicated to you all (you know who you are, right?) and other readers who supported the 4eva kawai no Sakuno-chan. (I'm a dai-fan of her XD)

Standard Disclaimer: I don't own the characters and plotting!!

Review of chappie 2:

"What happened, Fuji, did you see that!! Ryuzaki?? Her body?!" Eiji hollered while the others just stare at Sakuno astonishingly.

Sakuno's body began to changes its form, developing into a taller and more matured body. Not only her body changes it form, she's now wearing black colored ninja uniform. She has been once again transformed into the legendary sword master, Yagyu Jubei!!

Chapter 3: Secret Kept, Sakuno's Determination

"Astui(Hot)" Sakuno hissed as hot mist still keeps on dispersing from her body. She closes her eyes, her conscience slowly taken over by the legendary sword master.

"Yagyu Jubei, great, you finally show you true self!! Subarashi(Great)!!" the man licked his lower lip and laugh hysterically. The man who had once attempted two attacks on Jubei had failed; his body had been badly hurt by the strong impact released from the love-shaped eye patch!! Yet his pride had taken over him, he stills provoke Jubei to fight with him!!

"Ju...bei...sama..." the mysterious boy whispered with ease when he saw Sakuno's transformation into Yagyu Jubei. He felt like he had somehow protected her from being attacked and he's contented that he was able to restore the power of the Yagyu!!

The Seigaku regulars are still somehow finding it hard to accept of what they had witnessed a while ago!! The Sakuno they used to believe to be sweet and innocent had suddenly transformed into a legendary sword master!!

"Ryu...zaki?" Ryoma stammered, now staring at Sakuno intensely. The soft spoken, wobbly and annoying girl, Ryuzaki Sakuno, had transformed into another form that is totally different from her usual self. The Sakuno now standing in front of him looks very sturdy, composed and unruffled.

Still with her eyes closed, she raised up one hand. A glowing light formed from her palm and within a few seconds the glow turns into a katana.

Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at her enemy expressionlessly. With skills, she uncovered her katana and point at her enemy!!

"Koi (Come)!!" Jubei demanded coldly.

"Yabai (Bad)...looks like Sakuno-san is out of control!! She's now provoking the guy to fight with her!!" Momo exclaimed.

"Tezuka...looks like Sakuno is not her usual self, we've got to stop her before it's too late" Fuji warned with an unusual serious tone.

"Ah...we have to find a way!!" Tezuka nodded and look at the rest of his teammates.

"Tezuka...we've gotta be fast, she's moving towards the guy!!" Oishi hollered when he saw Sakuno leap towards the man's direction, attempting to attack him.

The man's eyes widen, mesmerized by Jubei's skills yet trying hard to dodge from her counterattack. Just as the katana was about to cut the man, Tezuka called out.

"No...Sakuno, stop!!" Tezuka bellowed. The others were too overwhelmed, cold sweats forming on their foreheads.

"Em..." Sakuno suddenly stopped. She backed a few steps away from the man.

"Bucho...it works, she stopped. Maybe we should try calling her names!!" Momo proposed.

Deep in Sakuno's inner heart...

Sakuno: "Where am I? It's so dark here!!"

Jubei: "Sakuno..."

Sakuno: "Is that you again? Let...me out!!"

Jubei: "Stay here, it's dangerous out there!!"

Sakuno: "I have to go, someone's calling me"

Just as when Sakuno's trying to fight Jubei to regain her own consciousness, the Seigaku regulars are also continuously calling Sakuno's name hoping she'll strive to recover.

"Ju...bei...sama...!!" the boy whispered. He can also feel that Sakuno's struggling to eliminate the powers of the love shaped eye-patch.

Everyone there witness the trembling hands of Sakuno slowly move near and take off the eye-patch. Once she removed the eye-patch, hot steam once again escaped from her body. She threw the eye-patch away from her.

The boy quickly rushes over to the direction where Sakuno dump the eye-patch.

"Go...away" Sakuno finally murmured a few words to the man whom she intended to kill. She panted heavily! She had regained her consciousness.

"No...I'll...will not...fight...you" she gasped for more air. The steam surrounding her makes her body feeling warmer and warmer.

"You let me live?! Yagyu Jubei, you'll regret!!" the man exclaimed.

"I'll be back, next time for sure, I'll kill you for sure!!" the man again let out uproarious laughter and then disappeared in front of Sakuno.

Sakuno felt her head starting to spin around, her body sends out tremendous heat. She no longer can stand by her own, her weak body slowly collapses.

Just when her body was about to touch the ground, she felt someone's was catching her from falling.

"Da re(who)...?" She murmured.

"It's okay!! It's us!! Sakuno-chan, you'll be safe!!" Fuji whispered and gently lay Sakuno heads on his lap. Sakuno looked around her, her senpais and Ryoma are now beside her, except the boy who passed her the eye-patch, he's not there anymore.

"Ah...senpais and Ryoma-kun...sorry...sorry..." Sakuno sobbed, still grasping for more air.

"Mada mada dane..." Ryoma hissed.

"Mou...it's alright now...you don't have to apologize! Kawamura-san, can you go and fetch some cool water!! Her head's burning; we have to cool her down!!" Oishi gestured and Kawamura quickly go to fetch water from the nearest tap.

"Em...perhaps Sakuno-san will need something to regain her energy!! You can have my newly blend 'Inui's supreme nutrious boost up vege juice!!'" Inui took out his bottle of juice and flash a big smile at Sakuno.

Everyone looked at Inui and his juice with disgust. Faces become even paler than Sakuno.

"Masaka...the drinks that Inui-senpai made for today's penalty?!" Momoshiro muttered a few words to Eiji.

"Yeah...no one was getting one, I just don't believe that Inui would ask Sakuno-chan to drink this disgusting stuffs!!" Eiji replied softly not wanting to let Inui hear.

"I think she'll die after drinking such disgust juice!" Ryoma muttered.

"Shh..." Kaido let out a loud hiss.

"Inui, I think it's not necessary, besides all Sakuno need is to go to the hospital!!" Tezuka suggested while placing his hand on Sakuno's forehead to feel her heat. Sakuno face flushed.

"No...I'm...I'm can't go to the hospital!! I don't want to let obaasan knows about this!! Please..." Sakuno choked.

"We are not leaving you like this! How can you convince us to take this risk to leave you like this?" Tezuka sternly declined Sakuno request.

"Yes, Tezuka's right!! Besides who's going to take care of you?" Oishi stated sternly.

"No...please, I'll be alright!! I'm always like that after the transformation, please" Sakuno begged weakly.

"Sakuno-chan, I think you have to give up protesting...at your situation, even doctors they'll detain you!! Ne...Ochibi...says something!!" Eiji demanded.

"Er...why do I have to say something!! It's her choice if she doesn't want to go!! Besides she said just now that she'll be alright!!" Ryoma said nonchalantly.

"Hidoi, Echizen-kun!! Ryuzaki-san is also your school mate; you shouldn't say something like that to her!" Kawamura strike back when he heard Ryoma's casual comments. He then hands the bottle of cool water to Fuji.

"Iie...Ryoma-kun's right!! I know that I'll be okay!! I don't want my obaasan to worry about me...so senpais, Ryoma-kun...please...do not tell anyone about this, especially o...baasan" Sakuno murmured.

Fuji can feel every hot breathe Sakuno exhaled. He pours the cool water onto his hankie and lays it onto Sakuno's forehead.

"But...Sakuno-san, even so, once your granny realized that you're having such high fever, she'll send you to hospital too!" Kawamura reasoned.

"I know...that's why I'm not going back home today...I'll inform her that I'm going to Tomo-chan's place to sleepover...".

"Don't be ridiculous, even so, where are you going to stay?" Tezuka reprimanded.

"She can stay in my place first!!" Fuji offered, while gently tapping Sakuno's forehead with cool water.

Everyone eyes widen when Fuji offered to let Sakuno stay over at his place, even the typical Tezuka's façade changed slightly.

"Fuji?! Do you know what you're talking about?" Oishi shrugged.

"Minna, trust me, I know what I'm doing, besides, if in turn that you are Sakuno-chan, I think you'll also be doing the same!!" Fuji explained while gently brushing a few strands of hairs off Sakuno's forehead.

"But, what about your family? What will they say about you bring a girl back home?" Oishi asked again.

"Hm...I think they'll be very happy to see me bring girl back home..." Fuji smiled. Everyone jaw dropped. They never expect such answers from the tennis prodigy.

"I'm just kidding. A few days ago, my sister left for Paris for a grand Physics meeting, whereas Yuuta, he's staying in school hostel! So I'm having the house all by myself!" Fuji chuckled.

"Hm...Fuji-senpai...!" Ryoma called out feeling a little irritated upon Fuji's suggestion

"Eh...dou kai, Echizen...you have anything to protest?" Fuji asked with his usual tone but his eyes opened revealing his blue orbs, staring at Ryoma.

"Yes, I think it would be so improper for Sakuno to stay at you place and more importantly you're alone!!" Ryoma stated sternly.

"Of course, I never said that only we'll be staying!! I'm going to ask a few of you to come to my house as well!" Fuji let out another chuckle.

"Besides, I think you guys would like to know more about Sakuno-chan and the Jubei thingy, didn't you?" Fuji stated decisively. Sakuno flushed even harder.

"Fuji...alright, I'll come with you!!" Tezuka paused and then decided to go along. He definitely wanted to find out more.

Everyone eyes widen, at first Fuji offers then even now Tezuka's going to stay at Fuji's place, just because of Sakuno.

"Ah...If Tezuka's going, I'm going too!!" Eiji demanded.

"Eiji??" Oishi was shocked to hear on...it's going to be fun!! You'll have to go too!!" Eiji tucked his arm locking Oishi's and dragging him along.

"Ano...I can't. I need to go back to the help my dad to do cleaning up!!" Kawamura said discontently.

"Me too, I promised my mum to be back before sunsets, ah...yabai...it's so late already, have to go off soon!" Momo shrugged.

"So...Echizen, are you coming?" Fuji asked nonchalantly.

Ryoma stare at Sakuno, her conditions looks terrible.

"Count me in!! Maybe I can do something to help!!" Ryoma replied, letting out a faint flush.

"Then...Kaido, Inui??" Fuji asked last two members who doesn't talk much.

"I think not. I'll go back and prepare some more vege juice and bring it to Ryuzaki-san!!" He stated seriously.

"I have extra class tonight!!" Kaido replied.

"That figures, then we'll have to separate here!!"

"Minna...sorry...sorry...!!" Sakuno sobbed.

"It's okay...you'll go to my place and there you can have a good rest, till next morning you'll be alright!!" Fuji whispered sparing her a piece of tissue and helped her to wipe off her tears.

"An..ano...about today's incident?? Sakuno shrugged.

Fuji nodded "We'll keep it as a secret!!" he ensured and looked up to his teammates. All of them gave an assuring gesture.

TBC

A/N: Wow, so Fuji had offered to let Sakuno to stay at his place for one night, no worries, nothing special will happen, maybe...hee....hee! Please continue reading my story and review.

Next Chappie: To protect something important!!

"Senpai, I think you should give up!!" Ryoma stated while returning Fuji's ball with tremendous strength.

"Fuji-senpai and Echizen, they seem like having problem with each other!!" one of the team members said when they witness such a nasty game between both of the regulars.
