December 22 after tennis practice
Ryoma was casually walking with his tennis things behind his back in the school grounds making his way to the front entrance. While he was walking he was staring at the grape Ponta given to him a certain auburn haired girl just a little while ago…
Flashback
After tennis practice Ryoma went straight to the vending machines where he and Sakuno would meet. When he arrived he saw Sakuno standing there waiting for him to arrive.
"Do you have it?" Ryoma asked facing Sakuno.
"H-Hai!" Sakuno replied handing him a can grape Ponta. Ryoma accepted it and started drinking it. They both were faced with an awkward silence…
"Ne, Ryuzaki-chan can I talk to you for a minute?" a voice coming from behind broke the silence.
"Hai! Senpai-Fuji" Sakuno answered with a smile. She turned to Ryoma then said "J-Ja R-Ryoma-kun s-see you t-tomorrow." then she went off with Fuji.
'Here's that feeling again… come to think of it why was she acting all nice to senpai-Fuji? And why did she at him?! She can only smile like that when she is talking to me! And me alone!...wait…what the hell did I just think of that?!' Ryoma thought as he started walking to the club room to fix his things so that he can finally get home.
Sakuno was walking towards the entrance of Seigaku while remembering what Fuji-senpai had told her…
Flashback
Ne, Ryuzaki-chan can I talk to you for a minute?" a voice coming from behind said.
"Hai! Senpai-Fuji" Sakuno answered with a smile. She turned to Ryoma then said "J-Ja R-Ryoma-kun s-see you t-tomorrow." then she went off with Fuji.
"Nani? Senpai-Fuji?" Sakuno asked as she followed Fuji and stopped when Fuji stopped and faced her.
"I have a big favor to ask you" Fuji said with his trademark smile.
"Nani?"
"You see it's almost Echizen's birthday and the regulars and I have decided to form a surprise party for him in the tennis courts and I was wondering if you would like to come?
"Ah, Hai! If it's not a bother that is"
"Of course not" Fuji said as he continued to smile "But that's not the big favor I said earlier…"
"What is it then senpai-Fuji?" Sakuno said as she looked at him with a perplexed look.
"you see…"
Sakuno just sighed at the favor Fuji asked her to do. When she arrived at the entrance she noticed a boy there about the age of Ryoma but was studying in Seigaku. She ran to the direction while shouting "Kintarou-kun!" so she would get his attention.
"Sakuno-chan!" He shouted with a smile forming on his face as he waved one arm as means of saying 'I'm here!' or 'hi!'
"Kintarou-kun I need to tell you something that Fuji-senpai told me to tell you." she said to him.
"Nani?" Kintarou looking perplexed.
Ryoma who was finished fixing his things went out of the club room making his way to the Seigaku entrance. While he was walking he couldn't help but stare at the Ponta given to him by Sakuno as a payment for him saving her…
Ryoma's POV
'what was that feeling I had when that molester was going for Ryuzaki and the time when senpai-Fuji talked to her secretly…was it really jealousy? If so, then why?' I thought about as I headed for the entrance. When I got there I had a mixed feeling of that unknown feeling and anger…
'What the hell he is he doing here?! and with Sakuno?!' I exclaimed in my head while clenching my fists in anger.I stood there watching Sakuno and Kintarou from behind a tree. I watched Kintarou whisper something in Sakuno's ear that made her laugh.
"That's the last straw." I mumbled under my breath as I walked over to the two.
End of Ryoma's POV
Normal POV
"Oi! Koshimae!" Kintarou exclaimed as he saw Ryoma walking over to them.
"R-Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno said as she faced him.
"Hn" Ryoma 'replied' as he faced Sakuno then took a hold of her hand and started walking.
"R-Ryoma-kun, where are we going?" Sakuno asked while blushing at the sudden action of Ryoma.
"I'm walking you home." Ryoma replied with a little bit of coldness in it.
"But I can walk home on my own." Sakuno replied "and what about Kintarou-kun?" Ryoma made no reply as he just continued to walk towards Sakuno's house…
Meanwhile…
"Ho ho Ryoma's being competitive!" Kintarou exclaimed as he stared at the direction of where Sakuno and Ryoma headed too. 'looks like I have competition!" Kintarou thought as he made his way to his own home.
"NICE MOVE OCHIBI!" a voice boomed from behind a bush
"Shhh senpai-Eiji someone might hear us!" another voice said
"Nya! But no one's there!"
"Oh yeah…"
"Fshhh baka."
"What did you say Mamushi?!"
"Fsssh deaf and stupid."
"You want a fight!?"
"Now, now, stop it!"
"Hai" two voices said at the same time
"But where is Echizen taking her?"
"10 chance Echizen is taking her to a secluded place, 30 chance that Echizen taking her to his house and 60 chance Echizen is taking her to her house."
"Nya! Why to go Ochibi!"
"So young, so young."
"Hey guys…you think we can get of this bush now?"
"0.2 chance of that happening."
"WHAT?!"
Back to Ryoma and Sakuno
'I never thought hands could be this soft and smooth' Ryoma thought as he continued to hold her hand.
"A-ah, R-Ryoma-kun" Sakuno said breaking his chain of thoughts "I can w-walk on m-my own s-s-so you can l-let go n-now."
"Hn" Ryoma replied while letting go of her hand feeling a little disappointed. Ryoma looked over to the hand he just held and saw a bracelet that looked hand made and had wooden beads on it, it looked fairly simple 'did Kintarou give that to her?'
"Who gave you that?" Ryoma said with a hint of coldness in it as he faced the bracelet on her wrist.
"O-oh this?" she said as she lifted her wrist showing her bracelet
"Hn"
"This is a-a g-g-good luck charm t-that I m-made."
"Let me guess…for the English test right?"
"H-Hai!"
"Did you ace it?"
"H-Hai! A-and that's why I-I decided t-t-to carry it a-a-round so o-often."
"Hn" Ryoma said while stopping at the gate of Sakuno's house
"A-arigatou R-Ryoma-kun!"
"Hn" Ryoma said as he walked away "Don't go near any strangers like what happened before tennis practice" he shouted still walking.
"H-Hai!" Sakuno said blushing 'Is he concerned for me?...nah maybe it's just my imagination'

And winners are those who guessed Kintarou as the special appearance! Yah the scene of the good luck charm was from the idea of kuripsuthebunny!
