Previously…
"What do you mean?"
"Do you have any actual proof that I took these pictures?" Fuji said closing his eyes.
"But—" Ryoma started but was cut off by Fuji saying:
"If you don't have enough proof to back up your claims then I believe what you are saying is what we call 'baseless claims'." Ryoma growled at him saying all of these 'baseless claims.'
"Fine." Ryoma finally said, but he didn't miss to have that final word in a very, very cold and harsh tone. He walked out of the room. He crushed his Ponta can and threw it in a nearby trashcan.
'Tsk tsk… Echizen… you should know that I don't leave any evidence behind…' Fuji thought smiling sadistically as he grabbed his bag and left.
Present…
'Pok'
'Pok'
The sound of a tennis ball continuously smashing into a wall was heard through out the tennis courts. 'I hate the guy' Ryoma thought as he repeatedly hit the ball with his racquet as hard as he could.
'Pok'
'Pok'
A certain brown haired girl heard this and followed the sound. When she arrived at the source of the sound she saw the prince 'R-Ryoma-kun'. Ryoma felt a presence behind him. He stopped walling and faced her.
"What do you want?" he said coolly
"A-Ah I was j-just s-seeing w-what the sound w-was" Sakuno said with her voice trembling a bit. The guilt finally set in on Ryoma. 'What the hell did I do that for?!'
"Hn" Ryoma said. Thinking he should apologize for his harsh tone he brought himself to it and finally said "I-I'm sorry"
"W-what?" Sakuno asked to confirm on what she heard. I mean even I would do that, THE GREAT Ryoma Echizen apologizing? No way.
"I said" Ryoma said trying to repeat. "I'm sorry for asking you that question in a harsh tone" he said looking away from her in order to hide his blush which was fairly obvious. 'Where's that cap when you need it'
"A-Ah" Sakuno stuttered trying to figure out the right words to say in reply.
'Did she forgive me or what?' Ryoma wondered as he tried to read her expression. Sakuno, desperate for an answer, she looked around trying to find the slightest clue. She set her eyes on the clock and saw it was getting fairly late.
"I-I better go now, it's getting l-late and o-oba-chan might w-worry."
"Hn" was all Ryoma could reply with
'Oh no, is he mad at me?' Sakuno thought thinking she was in a life or death situation.
"I'll walk you home" Ryoma offered
"N-No it's fine"
"It's fine" Ryoma persisted. "I don't want to repeat the last time you were alone"
"L-last time? Alone?" Sakuno pondered on these words for a while and finally remembered what happened to her that day when her oba-chan asked her to look for Ryoma in school. She immediately blushed at the memory.
Flashback…
'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.
"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
Present...
Ryoma got her hand and led her to the gate. It took Sakuno a while to realize this, because of the memory, but when she did notice she flushed different colors of red. Both of them decided not to say anything and to just enjoy the moment.
In front of Sakuno's house…
"See you tomorrow" Ryoma said as he reluctantly let go of her hand
"A-arigatou for now and b-before"
"Before?" Ryoma asked quirking an eyebrow
"F-For apologizing" Sakuno said looking down to her feet.
"Hn" Ryoma said in reply. He smiled faintly but tired to hide it. "Ja" Ryoma said in a soft and kind tone then left. It took Sakuno a while for the words to register in her head, but when it did she looked up to say 'bye' but he was already gone.
Next Day at Ryoma and Sakuno's classroom…
"Okay class, for various reasons, the school has decided to commence the play in 2 days…" The teacher announced
"WHAT?!" The whole class boomed
"Now, now" the teacher tried to calm the class down. "I know this is out of the blue but trust me, I and the other teachers have discussed this thoroughly, so there are no worries"
"No worries? We haven't even mastered the whole play yet!" one boy said
"We know, so from now on all of you will be excused from all of your classes in the afternoon to practice"
"Aw man! I know I hate school, but I hate practice even more!" one boy voiced out. Ryoma and Sakuno just stared in shock they couldn't believe what was happening…
