Whoa, chapter four. Farthest I've got, lol. Thanks for the reviewers of chapter three all the way to one.

RAMEN-monster: Lol, I was just randomly thinking of a name and it popped in my mind. I forgot that Rukia was from Bleach. XD

Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan: I wanna thank you for your reviews. Heck, I was even smiling when I wrote the lunch moment. And it's normal for the Seigaku regulars (especially Momo, Eiji, and Inui) to be spying on others. XD Like in OVA. To be honest, I don't really know what's going to happy next.

rebeccasanfujieijilvr:Yup! It's fun when Fuji teases someone. But I do hope I'm not making him OOC, eheheh….

yi-chan: You're welcome! I just can't help knowing that there's not much FujiSaku stories and I hope people would add more in the future. I was just inspired to write this by other authors.

animegirl1214: Thankies! I like the pairing too. It's my most favorite so far. And I'll update as soon as I can. Although it takes me two days just to write each chapter or sometimes one depending on how fast I'm typing.

AkifromHell66: Sakuno will definitely like Fuji back. Who could resist his handsome features? Not to mention, his eyes. XD

Happy Sondrisas: Thank you! I will continue this story, but I might be writing oneshots too. I have no idea when this story will end, lol. XD

sakuno55: Yup, this isn't some story you can read everyday. XD And I thought it was exciting when I thought of Sakuno hiding her true abilities behind her shy attitude. Lol, you don't have to beg on your knees to get me to update. Just review.

Charmane: Thank you! Well, here's the fourth chapter and I'm sure to update soon. If not, I'm probably doing my Egyptian report. Btw, your name's the same as my classmate's except it's spelled Charmaine. XD

Well, on to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis because I'm not a guy.

How did this happen? It's like a dream…returning to my team. Good thing I didn't have to transfer. I do hope no one gets hurt, Sakuno thought looking up at the bright blue sky. They were being tortured to practice as much as they can, due to Aniko's orders, even in the rain. No one else noticed her practicing with the team, which was good because she didn't want to catch any attention.

"Sakuno! Hit the ball!" Aniko yelled snapping Sakuno's attention back to the game.

"Oh!" Luckily, she managed to hit the ball back but still stumbled a little.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem to be distracted," Aniko said, serving a ball to her.

"I'm fine," Was all Sakuno said before hitting the ball back with ease.

Eiji yawned and stretched his arms. "Let's go check out this 'Rukio' team, whatever it's called."

"Rukia," Momo corrected.

"Neh, let's go O'chibi," Eiji began to drag an irritated Ryoma to the tennis court with Momo dragging his other arm. They stood by the fence and watched as the Rukia team played a practice match. But someone caught their eye. Familiar long braids, klutzy form, and chocolate colored eyes. That person was….Ryuzaki Sakuno?!

"Sakuno? What's she doing practicing with them?" Momo said squinting his eyes to make sure he saw clearly. Yep, it was Sakuno.

"Do you think…she's in their team, nya?"

"Che, why would Ryuzaki be in their team if she can't hit a ball back?" Ryoma said pushing his cap down a little further.

"Good point. But look, she is hitting a ball back," Momo pointed out. They looked to see and indeed she was, much to their surprise.

"Guess she improved," Eiji said shrugging. "But she still doesn't have a good form."

"Mada mada dane."

Sakuno was quite aware that people were watching. She was beginning to get embarrassed and continued to pretend to be klutzy like people expected her. Couldn't they have practiced somewhere else? Why did Aniko reserve this court for them to practice? This was the worst torture she had.

"Sakuno! Don't pretend to be klutzy," Aniko said sternly but Sakuno only shook her head and refused to play seriously until the competition starts, which was tomorrow by the way.

Wait, is that Ryoma-kun, Eiji-sempai, and Momo-sempai? Sakuno thought looking at the fence where three figures stood. It was them. Now she was beginning to feel nervous. Good thing her acting was very convincing. It wasn't hard pretending to be a beginner. She'd been practicing for a month. By night, she'd practice somewhere in secret with no one watching. So you could say that she was an amateur by day, pro by night. And now, she wasn't used to play in public. That's why she kept her form.

"This is boring. Sakuno won't play for real," Akiyo yawned, and sat on the floor. Sakuno just shook her head. She watched Aniko and Juro play each other, while Akiyo continued to whine about Sakuno not being all serious on him. Like she needed to.

"Akiyo! Sakuno! Back to practice!" Aniko yelled. Akiyo only sighed and served another ball to Sakuno. She felt her body move by itself. Before she could control herself, her arm automatically hit her favorite technique, Twist Comeback. It was similar to Ryoma's Twist Serve, except the ball would spin until it stopped.

"Holy sh--!" Momo had to refrain from cussing out loud.

Oh no! Sakuno thought as she saw Eiji, Ryoma, and Momo's jaw drop. Well, except for Ryoma who merely had his eyes wide open. She hated it when her body would act by her instincts.

"Yosh! Sakuno's finally playing!" Akiyo exclaimed, dancing around like a monkey. Sakuno sweatdropped, at least she won one game. It was 4-1. Two more games and Akiyo would win. Not that she cared.

"Sakuno-chan! That was awesome!" Eiji hollered out. She blushed and mouthed "Thank you" before serving a ball to Akiyo. He smirked, and attempted to make Sakuno use her techniques but she knew what he was planning, and didn't make the same mistake again. It was already bad enough that three regulars witnessed it and were probably going to tell the others. Not like they would believed it.

"Oishi! Oishi!" Eiji shouted running to the vice captain of the Seigaku team. The other regulars were just starting to warm up and Momo and Ryoma followed close behind.

"You would never believe it! We saw Sakuno with Rukio ("Rukia," Momo corrected once again) and she hit a move that was like O'chibi's Twist Serve! Sugoi!" Eiji blurted it all out catching the regulars' attention. Fuji's eyes even shot open.

"What?" Oishi's mouth hang open. "Sakuno? What do you mean?"

"Well…" Momo started. "She hit the ball, it spinned, and it didn't bounce."

"That could be a fluke," Ryoma suggested.

"89.6 it wasn't a fluke. 0.05 it was," Inui said scribbling some notes down.

"Maybe she isn't as bad as we think she is," Fuji said, smiling as usual. "If she could do something like that then she must've been pretending."

"Eh? What do you mean by that, Fuji?"

"10 laps around the court, now!" Tezuka commanded seeing the team slacking off. The regulars' ran without complaints but was still talking about the 'fluke'.

"Mou, I'm tired," Sakuno said with a deep sigh. "Aniko was rougher than before."

"Now that you've said it, we've noticed," Juro agreed lying on the ground.

"Stop whining," Aniko said, smirking. "You should see the captain of Seigaku. He seems more rougher than me. I mean, I never saw him smile."

"We're lucky then."

Aniko rolled her eyes. "Practice is over. You are all dismissed."

Everyone got up and grabbed all their things then left after bidding good byes. Sakuno was prepared to leave when a familiar voice stopped her.

"I heard you were in Rukia."

Gasping a little, Sakuno turned to her right and saw Fuji standing only 5 feet away from her. She blushed. "Mou, how do people find out these days?"

"Eiji told me about the technique you showed," he said, smiling as he approached her.

Sakuno blushed harder. "I-It's called 'Twist Comeback.' A move I mastered…um…when I started playing tennis."

"Twist Comeback, eh? You should play a match with me someday," Fuji said. I was right, she'd been acting since the beginning. I wonder why.

"T-Temo…Fuji-sempai would easily beat me," Sakuno said and started walking with Fuji right beside her. Again, Sumire had asked him to walk her home for a whole month.

"Saa, I'll go easy on you," he chuckled.

Sakuno only smiled. She thought that her heart was beating faster than usual from the harsh training today. She couldn't understand why she blushed whenever she saw him. It was like when she had a crush on Ryoma.

Could it be? Sakuno thought looking at Fuji who didn't seem to notice anything. She blushed again and looked away. No…it can't be. If I fall for him, what would he say? Besides, he probably likes someone else.

"Sakuno-chan, daijobou? You seem a little bit down," Fuji interrupted her thought. Sakuno looked up and forced a smile.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little bit sleepy," she lied, forcing a yawn and hoping he'd buy it. It seemed to work.

"Sakuno-chan?"

The two turned around and saw none other than Akiyo standing just a few feet away from them. He seemed to be surprised a little.

"Ah, Akiyo-kun?"

"Neh, I didn't know your house is that way. Oh, that must be your boyfriend from earlier," Akiyo said, smirking evilly. Sakuno had to resist from punching him up into the sky.

"H-He's my sempai," she said to defend herself.

"Uh-huh, then tell me why he was hovering over you just a few inches away like you two were gonna make out?"

"Saa, I was just waking her up," Fuji said stepping in. He could smell a fight coming and wanted to avoid any trouble. "You must be Akiyo."

"Yep. The one and only," he pounded his chest in a boastful manner. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Sakuno's boyfriend."

"Eh?!?" she wanted to vanish into thin air. Stupid Akiyo just had to show up and ruin everything. Oh yeah, he always does that. She'd rather be stuck in practice than being humiliated in front of Fuji. It was almost like the feeling she always felt when she was embarrassed in front of Ryoma.

"My dear, are you okay?" Fuji said, obviously teasing her. Sheesh, what a big sadistic guy.

Dear? What the…Sakuno could feel herself about to explode any moment now. Worst of all, Akiyo was standing in front of them. Oh, he's loud mouth would make sure everyone in the whole school would know. Fuji didn't seem to mind at all. What's wrong with him? Why was she freaking out?

"Ja, I'll leave you two lovers alone," Akiyo said breaking the silence and walked away from them. Sakuno's face was burning again and she feared she might get another fever.

"Shall we?" Fuji held out his arm for Sakuno to take which she responded with a blush and looked away, continuing to walk.

"Ano, why do you tease me so m-much?" Sakuno asked, looking at anything she could see and avoided her sempai's face.

There was a few moment of silence, when Fuji spoke, "Because it's fun."

"Eh? Is that all?" She looked up at Fuji's face.

"Yup."

"I-I see…" Sakuno looked down once again in disappointment. Of course, he likes to see people suffer. I guess I'm no different. He doesn't have any feelings for me at all.

"Momo-senpai, can I go home now? It's boring spying on the same people everyday," Ryoma said, yawning only to be shushed. He did not understand why he had to be dragged along into this. After all, he'd rather take a nap or play with Karupin.

"Will you keep quiet? Look at Ryuzaki, Fuji must've been mistreating her. He should be treating her like a lady. He should," Momo said, shaking his head. "Honestly, I thought he knew about the dating rules."

"Ii data."

"Nya, Fuji is so clueless!"

What should I do? What should I do? Sakuno thought, biting her lips. There was always silence whenever she and Fuji walked home together. This time, Sakuno felt that she need to change it. She couldn't continue a conversation because it was not easy for her to think what to say next. Being shy was not so easy at all.

"A-Ano, did you like the bentos I made?" Sakuno asked, hoping that this small conversation would at least last for five minutes.

"I don't like it," he replied, and Sakuno's face fell with extreme disappointment. "I love it. Anything my 'girlfriend' makes is very delicious."

"Eh…Fuji-sempai," Sakuno said pouting at him but felt glad and blushed after hearing the last sentence he said. "I-I'm not your girlfriend…"

"Saa, you'd make a good one," Fuji said, laughing at her expression. "Just kidding."

For some reason, her heart sank after hearing the last two words. She forced a laugh accompanied with a big grin. "Haha, I knew it."

If only he knew how much pain she was feeling right now.

Oh my gosh…I actually wrote 5 pages of this chapter. Yay! I'm so happy. Anyway, I just want to add that Akiyo is a mischievous brat. XD Stay tune for the next chappie.

R&R please. I love reading your reviews. Oh yeah, I might not update soon enough because I still have a report to work on. Could be easy since it's only 3 pages.
