Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis…

Year 1 classroom…

"Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die." Sakuno finished and sighed.

"That's about it!" Reggie said happily smiling.

"Y-You m-mean…" Sakuno said slowly in disbelief.

"That's right!" Reggie assured her.

"You finished the entire script of the play on Juliet!" Tomoka rejoiced as she hugged Sakuno.

"Practice the whole thing again when you get home and know it well, just be sure you get ample sleep as well, k?" Reggie told her.

"H-Hai!" Sakuno replied happily. She stood up from her chair bowed and said. "Arigatou senpai!" Tomoka did the same thing as well.

"No problem." Reggie said smiling. "Well I better head off now…Ja!"

"Ja!" They both said. Reggie walked out of the classroom and started heading for the theater room, 'I wonder if Mika's done as well.' She thought as she looked at her wrist watch. 'We only have about 10 minutes left 'till class starts.'

Theater Room…

"Is everything ready?" Mika asked the freshmen who were preparing the props.

"We only have the minor things to add." One of the freshmen answered.

"Oh okay so everything's almost done?"

"Hai!"

"That's good!" Mika said happily. She glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that she only has roughly 10 min. left 'till class starts. "Ah shoot, I better head off, you can handle things on your own right?"

"Hai!" All the freshmen answered. "Arigatou senpai!" They all said in chorus while bowing in thanks and respect.

"Sure!" Mika replied. "Ja!" She said as she headed out of the theater room.

Outside the Theater Room…

Mika closed the door behind her and noticed Reggie leaning on the wall next to her. "Everything's set?"

"Kind of, they only have the minor adjustments to work on." Mika replied.

"Oh okay." Reggie said as she started running to their classroom. "Better hurry or we'll be late!"

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Rooftop…

O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." Ryoma said.

"FINALLY!" Momo cried. "You're finished!"

"Really?" Ryoma asked in disbelief.

"Yup, now all you need to do is practice this again tonight!" Momo said to him.

"Hn."

'Ding Dong.'

"Ah shoot class is about to start, I better head off." Momo said to Ryoma. "Ja!"

"Ja." Ryoma replied. "Wait Momo senpai!"

"Nani?"

Ryoma stood up, took off his cap and bowed saying "Arigatou!"

"No problem." Momo replied. "I really can't believe you just said thank you…"

"Hn."

Dismissal at the Seishun Gakuen's gate…(I skipped the practices)

"Mou Sakuno, I have to go straight to my house since my mom is away and I have to take care of my brothers' soo…" Tomoka started saying to Sakuno.

"It's okay you don't have to take me home today." Sakuno replied smiling.

"Are you sure?" Tomoka asked worriedly.

"Hai!"

"Okay, don't forget what senpai Reggie told you during lunch!" Tomoka said as she started heading the other way. "Ja!"

"Ja!" Sakuno replied as she waved her hand.

"Sakuno…" A familiar voice called out to her. Sakuno faced to the direction of the voice to find that it was Fuji who was calling out to her.

"F-Fuji-senpai?"

"Let's walk home together shall we?" Fuji offered.

"D-Demo…" Sakuno said stuttering.

"It's no problem." Fuji insisted.

Somewhere…

Ryoma was walking out of the main building towards the gate so that he could head home. He stopped when he saw Sakuno and Fuji talking about something.

'What are hey talking about?' Ryoma thought as he tried to move closer. He heard the entire conversation on Fuji wanting to bring home Sakuno, He got enraged and paced towards the two.

"A-Are you s-sure i-it's no p-problem senpai?" Sakuno asked to make sure. She suddenly felt a hand grab hers'.

"R-Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno said in shock.

"Hn." Ryoma replied in a stoic way and he proceeded to drag her to away from Fuji. When the two were out of sight, Fuji the sadist started chuckling.

'That's so typical of you Echizen.'

Sakuno and Ryoma…

"R-Ryoma-kun?!" Sakuno called out to him. Ryoma who was walking ahead of her still holding her hand and pulling her remained silent. Sakuno after a while decided to stay silent as well. Sakuno glanced down to both of there hands that were intertwined and saw that Ryoma was wearing the X-mas present that she gave him, after realizing this fact she blushed deep red.

At the corner of his eye Ryoma saw Sakuno look at his hand. 'What is she looking at?' Then he suddenly saw her blush. 'What is blushing about?' he thought as he looked at his hand to see what was the cause and he noticed that she was blushing because of the fact that he was wearing her gift on his wrist. He also blushed very lightly, hardly being seen.

They both walked in silence. Feeling the uneasiness of the situation, Sakuno tried to start a conversation. "Ne, R-Ryoma-kun."

"Hn?"

"D-did you g-get to f-f-finish y-your script?" Sakuno asked. She looked at Ryoma she noticed that she was raising an eyebrow. "T-The R-Romeo J-Juliet s-script I m-mean…"

"Hai." Ryoma replied.

"T-That's g-good." Sakuno said happily. She flashed a smile at him. He immediately blushed, again not that noticeable.

In Front of Sakuno's House…

"A-Arigatou, R-Ryoma-kun…" Sakuno said shyly as she was looking at the ground refusing to meet eye to eye with him, thinking that she'd faint. She also was looking at her hands that still felt warm even after Ryoma let go of it a little while ago.

"Ryuzaki."

Sakuno looked up wondering why he called her name. A hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. Sakuno landed on Ryoma chest and she felt arms wrap around her as she blushed madly. Then they decided to let go then Ryoma bent down and kissed her cheek and whispered to her ear "Betsuni." He then went out going to the direction of his house with a hint of blush on his face. While Sakuno was left standing in front of the door, blushing like a tomato.

Inside Sakuno's House…

'click.' The door of the Ryuzaki residence closed as Sakuno came it with a really, really red face. Sumire came to see her and noticed her flushed face.

"Is there anything wrong Sakuno?" Sumire asked her.

"N-no, n-nothing's w-wrong oba-chan!" Sakuno replied. "I-I have to g-go up n-now." Sakuno said as headed up to her room on the 2nd floor.

"Dinner will be ready soon!" Sumire shouted.

"Hai!" a reply came from the 2nd floor. Sumire sighed, 'kids these days.'

Sakuno's Room…

'Why did Ryoma do something like that?' Sakuno thought as she lay on her bed. 'It made me happy though, no! I shouldn't be thinking like that!' Sakuno grabbed her teddy bear which was right next to her and hugged it tightly. 'Mou, I'm really confused.' Sakuno placed her teddy bear beside her. She stood up went to the calendar and marked something on a certain date.

'Only 1 more day to go after today…'
