Hey people, so I'm back and I'm thinking about getting Fuji jealous. I've always wanted to try a Niou Masaharu pairing, this should be interesting, yes it should. Maybe I can lock them in a closet or something. But then again… well anyways enjoy this chapter and thank you for everyone's who read my story, and everyone who reviewed. Again I don't own PoT characters only my oc's, the plot, and the angel statue from the last chapter. That statue is mine. But, any ways enjoy.

Chapter 3 A Big Question

"I don't get it," Momo declared as he sat next to Ryoma. Apparently Jyousei Shounan, Shitenhouji, Yamabuki, and Rokkaku were not going to train with them.

"What's not to get? They're just going to be training in a separate building somewhere in the universe so we probably won't see them unless we're going to play some matches against them," Ryoma said while drinking Ponta.

Momo sweatdropped. Where the hell did he get all that Ponta? The soda machine ran out, and Ryoma didn't bring any Ponta. Unless Ryoma brought some. Yes, that was the only reasonable answer. It wasn't like there were Ponta fairies. There were no such things, right?

Momo, Ryoma, Tezuka, and Fuji were sitting in the dining room where they were having breakfast. Tezuka was reading a book about the Revolutionary War. Fuji was watching as people moved about. Actually he was watching Rikkaidai.

Sayuki was being fed by Niou. For some strange reason Fuji clenched his fists. He watched as Sayuki took a cookie and put it into her mouth. Since she couldn't fit the whole cookie in her mouth, three fourths of it was hanging outside. Fuji couldn't help but think that it was cute. Without warning Niou suddenly leaned down and bit into the cookie Sayuki had in her mouth.

Squeak! ( Think that this is the sound a chair makes.)

Fuji stood up moving his chair back in the process. His fellow teammates looked at him worriedly. Fuji just smiled, more than before, and walked out. He found the stairs that lead to the roof. When the door closed Fuji sank to the ground with a Thud!

'What the hell was wrong with him?'

Whenever Fuji saw or thought of Sayuki his heart went nuts.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Like right now for an instance. Fuji brought his right hand to his heart.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart was going crazy and he didn't know why. Then he suddenly remembered something. This building had a library in it. And libraries had books. Books with information. One of them will probably hold the information he needed.

'Yosh! I'll find out what's wrong with me."

He quickly made his way to the library. Inside he found not many students milling around. Of course some of them were originally from Rikkai. Fuji made his way to the librarian who was sitting behind a desk in the back. She quickly directed him to the southern wing of the library. There he found a promising book called "The Human Heart and it's Problems."

Fuji quickly skimmed through it.

Tachycardia. That was what caught his eye. Tachycardia, the problem where your heart beats irregularly fast. The side effects include breathlessness, dizziness, syncope (fainting, or near-fainting), fluttering in the chest, lightheadedness, and sudden weakness. Fuji noticed that he had the fluttering feeling whenever he saw Sayuki. He was also breathless when he played tennis. Suddenly he remembers just an hour ago when he saw Niou being close to Sayuki. He had felt weak, and vulnerable.

So this was the problem. Hopefully this isn't serious.

"Eh? Fuji-kun? What are you doing here?" Fuji turned around and his heart immediately did a little dance. It was Sayuki with all her cuteness.

"Saa, Yukimura-san. What are you doing here?"

"Ne, do me a favor and don't call me Yukimura-san, that's what people call Seiichi-nii. Call me Sayuki. No honorifics," She said with a smile.

"Of course, Sayuki," Fuji said empathizing her name. Her smile widened.

"Now back to my original question what are you doing here?" she asked with that innocent smile.

"Oh, I was feeling weird lately, with irregularly fast heart beats. I decided to search it up. Apparently I have Tachycardia. It's not a big problem though," he smiled genuinely.

"Tachycardia? You mean when your heartbeat is too fast. Oh I searched that up too once. But then yours could be a different, like if you like or love someone," she said.

"How would you know?" Fuji asked. But he soon regretted his decision. Because it would cause him pain. A gut wrenching feeling in his heart was on way to describe it.

"Because I had that whenever I see Haru," she blushed.

Fuji's heart was hurting but he didn't know why (coughMaybebecausehelikeshercough). Maybe this was a severe case, oh well. he'll see a doctor or something…

Fuji POV (1st person)

We were having the matches between the managers now and it was louder than ever. Even though it was only us, Rikkaidai, Fudomine, and St. Rudolph. Oh yeah, that reminds me. I should talk to Yuuta soon. Then I started to feel guilty. This entire time, I had forgotten all about him.

I looked at the chart in front of me.

Rikkaidai Seigaku

Fudomine St. Rudolph

So it was our team versus St. Rudolph. Which means Sakuno is going against Mizuki from St. Rudolph.

I hoped that she beat him. It was true that I was still a little angry at what happened during our middle school years. Besides he wasn't worthy enough to be my rival. He was more fit to be Inui's rival since Mizuki was all statistics and such. If we got into the finals, I bet that we were going to have to face Rikkaidai. Then Fudomine will have to verse St Rudolph. Now back to Rikkaidai, I remember the fact that Sayuki was the manager. I was sort of worried though. Sayuki could play violent tennis and make people feel fear. I wonder is Sakuno will be okay. Saa, only time can tell…

"Game set and match, Yukimura 6-0."

"Game set and match, Ryuzaki 6-5."

So it did come down to this. Sakuno vs. Sayuki. This should be interesting.

Sakuno POV

I watched as my opponent Yukimura-senpai made her way to me. To tell the truth I was kind of jealous of her. She was beautiful yet cute at the same time. She could and would put a model to shame. Besides Hayashi-sempai brimmed with confidence, something I didn't have.

"Rough or smooth?" she asked breaking my train of thought.

"S-s-s-smooth," I stuttered. I mentally kicked myself. Why the hell did I stutter. That was basically admitting defeat. Apparently Yukimura-senpai knew that and smirked as she spun the racket. It landed on smooth. I sighed in relief. It was my serve.

I got to the service line and served a normal serve to the service box. She had quickly ran up to it and hit it back. It was obvious that she was a great tennis player but so was I. I've been practicing. I quickly returned the ball and started a rally. Then she sent the ball with a bit too much strength which caused me to hit a lob accidently. She jumped up and hit a smash. But not just any smash.

It was Momo-sempai's dunk smash. I heard gasps and mumbling around the court.

"15-love"

"I can play all types of tennis. Most of the time I stick with my mental style of tennis, but sometimes I use a violent style of tennis. I rarely use copycat tennis though. You should feel lucky," she said with a smirk.

But I didn't feel lucky. I served again but this time instead of just hitting it back she sent it back with Sanada-sempai's move.

"30-love."

"Invade like fire," she said. I looked at her in surprise. She was small, smaller than me. And yet she could use a move like that.

I served again and this time the ball went by me in a flash of light. Fast was just an understatement. It was Yagyuu-sempai's laser beam.

"40-love."

I guess it was time to get serious. Over years and years of watching from the sidelines I had finally mastered it. I threw the ball in the air and slammed my racket onto it. It hit the court and then spun up aiming for Hayashi-sempai's face. A twist serve.

To my utter surprise she moved out of the way and hit the ball back but it was aiming for my wrist. It hit it and I had to loosen my grip. The ball was in the air. A chance ball. She jumped up and smashed it onto my racket. My favorite racket blew away from the force of impact.. I looked at her. She had just hit a perfect Rondo Towards Destruction.

"Yukimura, 1-0."

How was I ever going to beat her?

I sighed. This means that I will have to use my special move. The move that spent years developing. The nights where I pulled all-nighters, all those tennis matches I had missed, and all the days I had skipped class was now going to pay off. Moonlight Sonata. My finishing move. The one that had never been returned.

It was her serve but I was fine with that. As long as she hit a serve that I could return, my orchestra will begin. Apparently Kami-sama was on my side today because she had hit a normal serve. I quickly ran to the ball. I turned my racket so I was holding the very end. When the ball was always at me I turned around, and grabbed the racket with my left hand. Then I added a spin to the ball before hitting it back.

I named my move Moonlight Sonata since it reminded me of the symphony composed by Beethoven. (I think that I'm correct.) When I help up my racket at the tip, it helped with the switching of hands. Also with spin it added air to my racket which helped my hit immensely. Then I had added a spin to the ball. When the ball went to the other side of the court, the air I had built will surround the ball so when someone tries to hit it back their racket will hit air. So when they finally hit the ball their movement gets slowed down causing the ball to hit the net, and in the off chance that it doesn't the spin will cause the ball to go off course.

"Moonlight Sonata," I announced to the world.

To my surprise Yukimura-senpai just smirked as the ball flew past her.

"15-0."

"That was a nice move wasn't it. I have to give you credit though, it looked pretty complicated but it's not, right. It's actually really simple if you think about it. Even I can do that."

She served and I hit the ball back starting a rally. Suddenly without any warning she had hit my Moonlight Sonata. I looked at her in disbelief. How was this possible? I had tried so hard to create that move. I blinked back tears. I looked back at Seigaku. Everyone was watching. Everyone except Ryoma. He was watching Yukimura-senpai.

I was hurting on the inside. Why did he have to look at her like that? Even when I got better at tennis he didn't pay any attention to me. but now he was staring at sempai with such a strong sense of admiration. Then I felt it. My tears. They were threatening to spill out.

Then I ran. Away from the court. Away from everyone. I don't remember how long I ran but when I stopped I realized I was completely and utterly lost.

In front me was something that I had never seen. When I had ran, I had ran into the woods. Now I'm standing in a place of fantasy. In front of me were trees and growing on them were flowers of every shade of red and purple. However there was a cobblestone path. I followed it down a road and at the end were stair. No, it was probably created by nature seeing that the steps were uneven. I stepped up and was surprised yet again. Light was shining down onto an angel statue. Now that I think about it, wasn't there a statue like this on the premises of the training camp.

I looked at the statue again. It was a girl with angel wings looking up. One of her hands were reaching up as if to touch the sky. I smiled. In a weird way, this place was really serene even though it was kind of scary. I looked up at the sky. It was getting sort of cloudy. I frowned. What if it started raining? How would I get back?

I looked around but everything was the same. Trees, trees, and more trees. Sunlight flickered as the leaves swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the wind.

"Eh, isn't that the weird shy girl from Seigaku?"

I looked up startled.

In front of stood two strangers. The two boys looked like they were older than me. The one on the right was a tad bit shorter than the one on the left. He had black hair. He had bangs that covered his right eye (imagine Ren from Hell Girl). His eyes were an unsettling blue. As fast as lightning, and as dangerous as thunder. He was muscular but not enough to be considered an hunk. He was pretty cute but all I could feel right now was fear.

The one on the left was blond, a foreigner I suppose. His blond hair went right above his eyes. His eyes were an amber. Cooled fire. (Just imagine Kise from Kuroko no Basket.) His built was also quite muscular. The both of them were taller than me which was sort of intimidating.

"Your right, I've seen her cheering on Seigaku," the blond one said.

"She's here, the manager perhaps."

"That means she have to know Yukimura Sayuki, right?" it took me a moment to process the fact that he was talking to me.

"H-h-hai."

"I'll tell you what. We won't hurt you if you can get us a date with her. If we asked her directly, all the tennis regulars will murder us—."

"Damn right, they will." I turned around to the new voice. It was Yukimura-senpai (Sayuki).

I watched as the two boys paled and excused themselves.

"Are you okay?" she asked me. I couldn't blame her though. I was probably a mess.

"Hai," I said softly. I looked at senpai again. She was really pretty but I couldn't help but feel that there was something off about her. As if she had scars that ran deep beneath her skin. But I quickly shook that thought out my head when I looked at her again. She was literally the goddess of death. Well, not literally but…yeah.

"Wanna head back," she flashed me a dazzling smile. I couldn't help but smile back. she grabbed my hand and led me out of this place of magic. She brought me down some unmarked path that was created from footprints. Time had passed before we had reached the tennis courts. I was surprised to see no one there.

"Everyone left after an hour of waiting" she explained to my stunned look.

An hour? Had I been really gone that long of time.

"I'm surprised though. I didn't think that you would make it all the way to Angel's Tears. It's pretty far away," she continued. "I shouldn't be surprised though. During our match, that move Moonlight Sonata was pretty impressive," senpai laughed.

I looked at her surprised.

"But you said that it was pretty simple and did the move yourself," I said startled. The clip kept playing in my mind, her using my move.

"I already told you, I play mental tennis. I use a person's insecurities against them. Besides words can do damage themselves without me forming an illusion. As for me using your move, I'm naturally like that. If I see a skill in any sport once, I'll master it in one go. It's just something with my mind," she told me.

I looked at her surprised. She was actually confiding this with me. the girl who ran away form a match. I remember that oba-chan once said that the biggest insult would be to run away from a match. I felt my lips twitch. Could it be? Did I actually like senpai?

Yukimura-senpai laughed dragging me away from my train of thoughts. I looked at her confused but she just pointed ahead. I followed her pointed finger and started cracking up as well.

Up ahead was Hello Kitty. Or more specifically there was someone occupying the Hello Kitty suit. Kirihara, Akaya. Rikkai's most violent player was in an Hello Kitty suit. Dancing…well I think it was dancing. It was more like jumping from one foot to the other. Yep, that was the perfect description. Besides that fact, Kirihara-senpai was singing Valentine's Kiss. He was an pretty good singer but nonetheless it was still embarrassing.

Yukimura-senpai headed towards him. I had no other choice but to follow. When we had reached him Yukimura-senpai had said, "Aka-chan, just what are you trying to achieve doing that?"

"I'm warding off spirits of course," he answered stupidly. I couldn't help but giggle.

"What spirits?" Yukimura-senpai asked furrowing her eye brows.

"You know that ghost of Hinamori, Aoi. You know, that boy who died on this very spot. But his teammates said that he was still alive. The scary part was that he turned up in the very class photo taken three weeks after his death."

Yukimura-senpai looked at him funny. "Where'd you hear that?"

"Niou-senpai. He told me that it was a secret. He also told me that there was only one way to get rid of his presence. And that was to wear a Hello Kitty suit, dancing, while singing Valentine's Kiss at the same time. Niou-senpai also told me that he was too afraid to do it so naturally I did it. Since I'm not a scaredy-cat," he said proudly.

I looked at him in awe.

I knew that I was gullible but this was going too far.

"Aka-chan, that ghost story was a project I had to do for a class."

"Huh?"

Then all of a sudden senpai grabbed my hand and ran away. Fast. When she finally stopped, we were in front of our dormitory building which was ½ a mile from Kirihara-senpai.

"Sorry, but we had to get out of his kill zone," she explained. "Whenever Haru tricks him like that Aka-chen will go on a killing rampage. Well, actually just running around punching the first person he saw."

I paled considerably.

Senpai laughed. "It doesn't matter, I'm a fourth degree black belt and I have a basic grasp of the concept of judo."

Sayuki POV

I sighed as I looked at my reflection. Damn, I was a mess… my hair was going in all directions and my clothes were all ruffled. Maybe I shouldn't have brought that girl, Sakuno, with me when I ran away. Aka-chan wouldn't have hit her. Probably.

And then it hit me. The full impact had left me breathless. The Rikkaidai culture festival was tonight. It was supposed to take place a couple weeks ago but due to certain circumstances it had to be postponed. And I was supposed to be there. It was my duty as part of the planning committee.

Now spell it with me: S-H-I-T!

I wasn't even ready. You know what they always say, "desperate times call for desperate measures." And this was a desperate time. So I turned to the thing that all teenage girls turn to in a time like this: ANIME! Okay fine, not all girl but I do.

I ran back to my room without tripping because I was just that awesome.

As soon as I was inside turned to my best friend: THE ONE AND ONLY IPAD 2.

I looked up on my notes and quickly clicked onto, "Awesome anime cosplay costumes that I own." I looked through it until I found it. Hell Girl. Enma Ai would totally suit me since we both looked alike. I dug through my duffel bags until I found her kimono. You know the one with the vibrant flowers popping out.

I changed and put it on, combed my hair, and walked out the door as if i hadn't forgotten about the school festival. I lowered my head, self-conscious, of all the stares I had been getting. I quickly made my way outside where a car should be waiting to escort me to the school grounds.

I had to say, at that time, I wasn't really expecting anything much for the school festival. But when I saw the school grounds all I had to say was, WOW. The school grounds were loitered with students from all over Japan. From atop of school buildings were lanterns. Stands were set up everywhere. The smell of food wafted up my nose making my stomach rumble. Laughter and yelling filled my ears.

I smiled. Then I made my way to the second school building where my class 2-4 would be hosting an authentic traditional Japanese food shop. That was part of the reason I chose Enma Ai seeing that she was wearing an kimono. The other part was because it was just simply awesome. Hmm, Aka-chan should be here soon. Unless he was was possible, a high chance actually.

As I made my way into the classroom I was surprised to see how everything turned out. the walls had traditional wallpaper so we could clean up easily. Authentic Japanese tables were placed around the classroom and students were kneeling on mats talking and laughing. My classmates, boys and girls alike were serving the students in traditional clothing. Although I was wondering why the boys all had kendo swords.

I took of my shoes respectively as I saw one of my classmates, Monica. Monica was a transfer student from America. She had blond hair that caressed her heart shaped face. She was taller than me, something I was jealous of, and had emerald green eyes. She was nice and wasn't a fan girl. My school wasn't exactly full of fan-girls but there was a great number of them.

She took me by my hand and led me to what used to be our storage room. Now it was our make-shift kitchen. There was a cooler, for all of our drinks. On a table, there was a microwave, we used that to cook would what we couldn't cook. Near the door was another desk where students were making sweets and Takoyaki. I put ,y shoes near another cluster of shoes before making my way outside. I out on my best dazzle smile as I began to serve people.

"Six-teen Takoyaki balls as well as nine-teen ice-teas for table six," Monica told me as she handed me three trays filled with said food.

When I arrived to table six, let's just say I was surprised. No need to go into the details of how my jaw dropped. There, two connected tables, sat my brother along with the rest of his team. And not only were they alone, but Hyotei was there as well. I wonder where Seigaku was, oh well.

"Here's your food," I forced a smile onto my face. Before I could leave though I felt a hand grab my wrist and pulled me against a muscular chest. I turned around to glare at whoever dragged me down but blushed when I noticed that I was just inches away from kissing Haru.

"I'd really prefer if you didn't touch my imouto like that, Niou," aniki said to Haru. Haru immediately set me free after a deadly look from my oni-san.

"So, when's your shift going to be over," Yagyuu-senpai asked politely.

"Actually you guys are supposed to be my last customers. But other than that Aka-chan, Monica says that she'll skin you alive if you don't start your shift soon." I snickered silently as I watched him run into the kitchen. Then I looked at the regulars who were staring at me with expectant eyes before I too ran out of here.

When I stopped running I realized that I was near the stands where you throw a ball at some bottles to win prizes. I scanned over the stands before something caught my eyes. A big pink bunny doll. It was made for me, I just knew it.

I walked up to the stand where a third year was in charge. "Would like to play Ms." I nodded and paid up the money. The vender hand me three balls. I threw the first ball at the bottles successfully knocking down four out of the nine bottles. I threw the ball again hitting three bottles. I threw the ball again hoping to knock down the remaining two bottles. To my dismay I had only knocked down one bottle. I pouted and muttered, "and I wanted that bunny too."

Suddenly a ball whizzed past me and hit the nine bottles next to my remaining bottle all in one shot. The vendor took down the bunny and handed it to the person on back of me. I sighed before walking to another stands but before I could a soft voice said, "here." I turned around and saw Fuji-kun.

He held the ball towards to me. I tentatively took it. However as soon as my hand came in contact with it, I hugged it against my chest. "It's soft," I mumbled contentedly. Fuji-kun chuckled.

"Wanna come with me to some other stands?" he offered. I nodded having nothing better to do.

We walked around just chilling. You know, laughing and joking when I saw something else. I watched as the captain of the wrestling club, Kita Sato, attempted to win this game. It was that game where you were given a hammer to hit at a button. Then the meter would go up. The key word in the last few sentences was attempted. Kita-kun only reached the half-way mark. He was given a unicorn. It was still cute. But the grand prize was this huge horse plushie which was black while the mane was purple. Can we say CUTE?

"Do you want that doll?" Fuji-kun asked me.

I blushed since he noticed me staring. I shook my head as I looked down at the ground. After a few seconds I looked up only to find Fuji nowhere in sight. I looked around in panic. What if he was abducted by aliens? How was I going to explain to that stone of a buchou that one of his best players were missing? He was going to kill me most definitely.

I panicked until I spotted him near that hammer game. The one with that doll I wanted. To my utter surprise, he had paid for the game. Then I watched as he used the hammer to hit the button.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

He had just hit the bell. Which should be impossible, right? He took the doll and gave it to me. he handed it to me. I looked at him in surprise. Why was he being so nice to me.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"You're welcome," he said not changing his usual expression. However this time his smile felt warmer which sent light fluttery feelings into my chest.

We walked around and headed towards the bonfire. The teachers chaperoning announced that there were going to be fireworks in approximately ten in minutes.

I looked at Fuji pleadingly.

"Can we please go into the first school building?" I asked.

"Why?"

"I want to see the fireworks clearer," I answered. It was true, right down to the core. Last year I had wanted to see the fireworks but I came down with the flu so I had to stay home. This year I was determined to see the fireworks.

Fuji POV

"I want to see the fireworks clearer," she said and at that moment my whole world came crashing down.

The sudden realization hit my like an tsunamis. I loved Sayuki. And it was love at first sight. That was why I was so interested in her. She was beautiful yet cute. But I loved her attitude even more. She was nice yet mean and at the same time sad. I loved how her moods would change at a moment's notice. That was it wasn't it. He was in love. She was the only one for him.

'Fuji, stop getting ahead of yourself' Fuji told himself. Just because this was the first girl I was interested in didn't mean that I was in love. But deep inside, I denied it. I thought that it was just a minor crush and I was over estimating everything. Simply because she was the first girl I was ever interested.

So I did the one thing I did in every situation. Smile. It worked in every single situation.

"Sure," I said using that soft voice of mine. She merely grinned at me before taking my by the hand. I couldn't help but notice the way my senses flared with her hand on my wrist. Or the way that electricity flowed. This was perfect.

She led me down a dark hallway. Everyone was probably at the bonfire or something. Sayuki brought me to an empty classroom. Glancing around I was assuming that it was a math classroom seeing that there was a number line taped on top of space on the wall directly above the smart board. She led me towards to where the windows were.

I looked outside. Lights were everywhere and I saw the bonfire. Little figures, people, were moving around. As I looked more into it, I realized that the rest of the Seigaku team were standing to the right of the bonfire. I watched them and…Eiji was dancing? No, it was more like jumping around while doing weird arm movements. Like he was possessed, yep that was the answer. I refuse to believe that any friend of mine can't dance. It would be a disgrace seeing that I had won three national dance competitions in my life.

Boom! The fireworks had started.

I watched as vivid hues of blue, green, red, and every other color imaginable explode in the sky. Unconsciously I had grabbed Sayuki's hand and there was nothing I could ever want for more. This was the perfect moment. Right here and now. This was my time. And I was determined to make the most of it.

That's why I grabbed her face gently and crashed my lips to hers. Her lips were soft and unyielding. When I broke the kiss, my question was obvious. Sayuki was looking at me wide-eyed as she held her hand up to her lips consciously. A red blossomed onto her face as her mind processed everything.

I knew that I was still wearing my usual expression. But on the inside my insides were twisting in all directions. Anticipating for her decision.

"I…"

Mwa ha ha ha! A cliff hanger. Oh what fun. What will Sayuki's answer be? Will she reject his confession or does she return his feelings. To find the answer, you must review. Oh, ecstasy! So glad, I finished the chapter. So other than this, I tried to write in first person. Hopefully Sakuno didn't turn out bad. –Sigh-

Eiji: You meanie!

Me: When'd you get here? (sweat-drop.)

Eiji: What do you mean, I can't dance. I can dance perfectly fine.

Me: well, he he. (Drags Eiji of to some unknown place.)

Until next time, stay epic!
