Disclaimer: I do not own The Prince of Tennis if I did Ryoma and Sakuno would have ended up together…

December 22

At the tennis courts before the tennis team practice all of the regulars where talking and planning about the surprise party since our prince was no where to be found at the moment.

"Nya! I want to bring the balloons!" Eiji exclaimed.

"100 chance Taka would say sushi" Inui said with his glasses gleaming.

"I guess that's my job then" Taka said as he scratched his head.

"Ii data" Inui said as he scribbled notes into his notebook.

"So, here is the list Oishi will bring the decorations" Fuji said looking at Oishi.

"Hai"

"Eiji will bring the decorations"

"Hai!"

"Taka will bring the Sushi"

"Hai!"

Momo will bring the other foods"

"Hai!"

"Fshhh the food will sure taste bad"

"What did you say Mamushi!?"

"What did you call me?!"

"Okay, okay knock it off" Oishi said as he faced Momo and Kaido.

" Hai senpai" the both said.

"Can I continue?" Fuji said with a smile.

"Hai" Oishi replied

"Kaido will bring the plastic cups and plates"

"Fssssshhhhhh hai"

"and, I will bring the plastic spoon and forks" Fuji said with a smile.

"Nya! Then that's it!" Eiji said while putting both his arms up.

"But what's Inui going to bring, plus no one's going to bring the drinks…" Oishi pointed out then he just put two and two together as he looked at everyone with wide eyes.

"Uh-oh" they all said in unison

"Please make it your best work to date okay Inui?" Fuji said facing Inui

"NO!" the regulars said all except of course Inui and Fuji

"Hm, why not?" Fuji said turning to the others

"ah, why don't I ask Tezuka to bring the drinks and Inui can help me find the decorations." Oishi offered

"Is that okay with you Inui?" Fuji asked

"Ii data" Inui replied

"We'll take that as a yes" they all said

Meanwhile…

A certain auburn haired girl was walking the corridors of Seigaku looking for boy who is known as the Prince of Tennis.

'Mou, I know oba-chan asked me to look for Ryoma but she never told me where I should start looking…' Sakuno thought as she proceeded to the 3rd floor of the building remembering what happened when her Oba-chan asked her to look for Ryoma.

Flashback

"Oi! Sakuno, could you do me a favor?" Ryuzaki Sumire the couch of Seigaku's boys tennis team asked her granddaughter who was wearing a plain white shirt, tennis skirt and a pink sweat band on her right hand, she was practicing her tennis skills against the wall.

"Hai, Oba-chan" Sakuno replied facing her coach looking sweaty.

"I need you to look for Ryoma since it's almost practice and he's nowhere to be seen and I would look for him myself but I have to discuss something with Tezuka" she said as she watched her granddaughter turn her back walk to the bench and got her towel.

"Hai!" Sakuno replied as she wiped her face with the towel.

"Arigatou Sakuno" Coach Ryuzaki replied as she looked at her watch "I have to go" she said to Sakuno.

"Ah! Oba-chan, do you know where I should look first?" Sakuno said as she turned around only to find no one there.

Sakuno who was walking up the stairs just sighed at her flashback then she decided to stop and think as to where Ryoma could possibly be.

'hmm where could he have gone to' she thought as she leaned on the wall.

"Oh, what do we have here?" a voice said "ah pretty girl alone here?" Sakuno just looked up to see a man about 2 years older that was her walking towards her eyeing her with a mischievous grin on his face. The man moved closer to Sakuno until he was standing right in front of her.

"Its dangerous for you to be here all alone you know" he said maliciously while inching his face slowly towards Sakuno until there face was only a few-inches apart.

'Mou, what should I do I think this man is going to-" Sakuno closed her eyes at the thought not knowing what do to, she waited for something to happen but nothing happened, she opened her eyes only to see the man who was trying to rape her, on the floor with a bruise on one of his cheeks and a smashed Ponta can beside him.

"Mada Mada Dane" a very familiar voice said. 'that voice…' Sakuno thought as she looked at the direction of the familiar voice.

"R-r-r-yoma-kun!" she exclaimed as she looked at him with disbelief that he actually saved her. He was wearing his usual Seigaku jersey, blue shorts and his signature white Fila cap.

"Hn" he replied walking towards her. "why aren't you going home yet school ended 30 minutes ago."

"A-ah y-you see Oba-chan a-a-asked me to l-l-l-look for you because tennis practice is a-a-about to s-s-start."

"Hn" he replied the started walking down the stairs knowing that Sakuno would follow "you owe me Ponta by the way."

"Ah, Hai! and um, a-a-a-arigatou for earlier."

"Hn."

When they reached their desired destination everyone noticed their arrival.

"Oi! Echizen I see you brought your girlfriend with you" Momo said with a mischievous grin.

"Nya! Ochibi's growing up!" Eiji exclaimed with a grin that looked like it was about to reach his ears.

Upon hearing this Sakuno immediatly blushed different shades of red while Ryoma pulled down the rim of his hat in annoyance.

"Eiji, Momoshiro! 20 laps!" Tezuka said to the both of them with a hint of annoyance "you will join them as well for being late" he said facing Echizen.

"Nya! Buchou is mean" Eiji said pouting.

"I know!" Momo said in agreement.

"Anymore complaints and I'll make it 30 laps instead" Tezuka said successfully making Eiji shut up for a while.

"Ah! I-I-I better g-g-go now I d-d-don't want to bother y-y-our tennis p-p-practice" Sakuno said trying her best not to stutter so much

"No" Ryoma replied

"Why not?"

"Because..." Ryoma said pulling the rim of his hat even lower to hide his faint blush "because you owe me a grape Ponta which I always buy after practice so you have to stay and watch."

"H-hai..." Sakuno said sounding a little disappointed at the thought that Ryoma only wanted her there because of the grape Ponta she owed him.

"Echizen!" Tezuka called with a deadly tone.

"Hn" was all Ryoma could say before he started running the laps. 'What was that feeling I felt awhile ago when that guy was trying to rape...well molest Ryuzaki…' Ryoma thought while running and ignoring all the side comments of his senpais about him and Sakuno. 'I felt so angry with that guy could I be…jealous..No that can't, be I don't have any feelings for Ryuzaki…or do I?' he thought as he tried to comprehend what feeling he just experienced a little while ago.

Hey, kataiookami here!

Here's chapter 2! Our prince has finally appeared! Hope you enjoyed reading this! The next chapter would most probably be after tennis practice so it's on the same date (December 22) so make sure to tune in!. I also tried to make this a little longer... I hope I can make the next one longer than this one... Oh yeah um Ryoma didn't notice that Sakuno was disappointed by his answer (aww poor Sakuno). Also about the guy dunno why I made Ryoma call him a rapist buy he's more of a molestor...

And someone makes his appearance guess who it is in the reviews!

Ja!
