Anime/Manga: Prince of Tennis

Pairring: RyomaxSakuno (RyoSaku)

Disclaimer: Prince of Tennis is not mine.

Previous: Ryoma passed by Sakuno not saying a word.

'R-ryoma-kun..' Sakuno called but it's like Ryoma didn't hear her even with how short their distance were.

'Koshimae has finished teaching me English. He said that, you can teach me everything now. ' Kintarou said.

'I see..' Sakuno was disappointed with what happened.


Chapter VI: A Confession and A Match

Sakuno and Kintarou started again with their lesson. Everything seems to be okay except for one thing. Sakuno's pretty silent than before.

'Ne, Sakuno-chan, are you feeling okay?' Kintarou asked.

Sakuno didn't respond.

'Sakuno-chan.' Kintarou repeated.

Sakuno almost jumped.

'Ugh.. wh-what? Do you have a question?' Sakuno asked.

Kintarou sighed.

'I asked you if you we're feeling okay. I guess you're not cause Koshimae is not here anymore.' Kintarou said

'You like to be with him than me.' Kintarou pouted.

'That's not true. I love to be with you Kin-chan' Sakuno said with a smile.

Kintarou can't help to produce a faint blush with how cute Sakuno is wearing that smile.

'W-well th-that's not what you're showing.' Kintarou said.

Kintarou mentally slapped himself.

'Damn. I'm starting to be like her. And I can't control my blush anymore.' He thought.

Sakuno smiled even more and produced a faint blush on her cheeks.

'I don't know why but I think Kin-chan is pretty cute when he pouts. And, when did I start calling him Kin-chan? (A/N: I got it from the readers who reviewed. I think it's pretty cute so I used it. )

'Sakuno-chan, do you really want to be with me?' Kintarou asked.

'Yes I do!' Sakuno replied cheerfully.

Kintarou thought of an image of Sakuno in a wedding gown saying 'I do'

'R-really!?' Kintarou said getting back to his senses.

'Of course' Sakuno said wearing an even bigger smile.

'When I'm with Kin-chan I feel more at ease. He's a great friend. I don't know why but I can't be like this when I'm with Ryoma-kun. I wish I could be more like this when I'm with him.' Sakuno thought.

Sakuno and Kintarou finished their first session.


1 week passed.

Ryoma seems to be avoiding Sakuno.

Sakuno and Kintarou are on their 4th session.

Sakuno knocked on Kintarou's door.

Kintarou opened it with delight.

'Sakuno-chan! I plan on not having a session today. May we?' Kintarou asked.

'Ah o-okay then. Then see you next time.' Sakuno said heading home.

Kintarou grabbed her wrist.

'Where are you going? Why don't we play tennis?' Kintarou offered.


'K-kin-chan. I'm not good with tennis.' Sakuno said nervously.

'Since you helped me with my studies, I'll help you with tennis,' Kintarou gave her a grin.

Sakuno suddenly thought of Ryoma.

'Just like Ryoma-kun…' Sakuno whispered.

Sakuno and Kintarou enjoyed playing.

Thanks to Ryoma's tips and Sakuno's perseverance, Sakuno was able to improve even just a bit in tennis.

'Th-thanks Kin-chan.' Sakuno said panting.

'No problem Sakuno-chan.' Kintarou gave her one of his big grins once again.

Sakuno and Kintarou started to laugh.

Then as Sakuno laughed Kintarou stopped.

'Sakuno-chan..' Kintarou started.

Sakuno stopped laughing then raised an eyebrow.

'I love you..' Kintarou finished.

Sakuno's eyes widened while Kintarou just kept on grinning.

The two didn't know but big-mouthed Horio overheard their conversation.


While Ryoma avoided Sakuno, he trained harder than before for a match he planned a long time ago.

He then went to the clubroom to change.

There he noticed the guys gathering again listening to Horio.

'I feel like I've seen this before.' He muttered.

He once again heard Kintarou Tooyama. Not only that. He also heard Sakuno Ryuzaki.

Now this really got his attention.

'I think Kintarou Tooyama and Ryuzaki are going out.' Horio proudly said.

His clubmates began to chatter.

Ryoma was stuck to the spot.

Ryoma slammed the door open.

His clubmates received goosebumps.

'What's up with him these days?' some of his clubmates chattered.

Ryoma was desperate.
