PoT is not mine
It was 6 in the morning, birds were chirping, the wind was blowing. It was a beautiful day.
The light shone upon Ryoma and Sakuno.
The auburn haired beauty fluttered her eyes a bit until she fully opened her eyes to see one Ryoma Echizen centimeters away from her, sleeping so soundly.
Heat rose to Sakuno's cheeks, ears and heck- Her entire face. She was stunned, her body can't move, cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. It was so surreal for her that she couldn't take it.
She didn't know what to do, Thoughts were rambling through her head. Should she wake him up? Should she let him be and sneak away? Or Should she savor the moment?
Ryoma could feel his princess fidgeting in his arms, he was awoken by her actions.
"Ryuzaki..." Ryoma sighed.
Sakuno didn't hear her prince even though they're so close to each other. She was far too busy thinking how to handle the situation .
"Ryuzaki.." The groggy boy repeated.
Ryoma broke his hold from her and sat up, making Sakuno feel the warmth of his arms going away from her. She looked disappointed, it felt like home for her. His warmth engulfing her body.
"Ryuzaki." Ryoma repeated once again.
"H-Hai!" Sakuno quickly shot up and sat across to him.
"I.. I'm so sorry Ryoma-kun.." Sakuno added as she bowed her head.
"Don't be stupid." Ryoma simply replied.
Sakuno looked hurt as she heard her prince say those words.
"It was fine with me, you don't have to apologize for something that .. I liked.." Ryoma said as he covered his blush with his pillow.
"Ry-Ryoma-kun.." Sakuno blushed.
"We better get going. You go on ahead and use the bathroom first." Ryoma said as he got up to get an extra towel from his closet.
"O-Okay." Sakuno agreed.
"I'll be downstairs, call me when you're finished." Ryoma bluntly said and went down.
Sakuno shyly got the towel and went into the bathroom at the end of the hall.
"Old man, What's this?" Ryoma asked his father as he held up a bag of plastic handed to him by Nanako.
"Ohhhh`thaat... The old hag sent it to us. It's Sakuno-chan's clothes." Nanjiro groggily said.
"And why didn't she pick up Ryuzaki instead?" Ryoma cocked his eyebrow up.
"Welll...errrr... She was busy." The samurai replied.
"Whatever.." Ryoma said dryly.
"By the way, could you bring that to Sakuno-chan?" Nanjiro asked with a cheeky grin.
"Why can't she do it?" Ryoma pointed at his cousin.
"Can't you see she's cooking?" Nanjiro replied.
"Why can't you do it?" Ryoma asked.
"Well, I'm an old man, you see... I can't possibly.." Nanjiro acted out.
"Shut up." Ryoma replied irritant as he went up to bring his princess' clothes.
"Ryuzaki, here are your clothes." Ryoma gulped.
"Clothes?" Sakuno asked from the shower.
"Coach brought it here last night." Ryoma explained.
"Oh.. Uhm.. Could you put it there? If it's not too much trouble for you." Sakuno asked.
"It's fine." Ryoma simply replied as he slid the bathroom door open.
There he saw a silhouette of his precious princess, scrubbing away.
Ryoma turned red, he gulped and breathe heavily.
Ryoma's eyes were tearing the shower curtains down. He wanted to see what's behind it, he wanted to ravi-
"Ryoma-kun?" Sakuno asked.
"Err.. I placed it on top of the washing machine." Ryoma cleared his throat.
"Thank you." Sakuno replied.
"Don't mention it." Ryoma blushed as he quickly got out of the bathroom.
"Had fun?" Nanjiro asked his son.
Ryoma shot his head where the voice was coming from.
"You old geezer." Ryoma replied , annoyed.
The prince passed his dad.
Ryoma went downstairs to the porch, looking at the clear morning sky.
"Ara ara, did you have a good night's sleep?" Nanako asked.
"Well... You could say that." Ryoma smirked as his eyes followed the flock of birds flying away.
"Ryoma-san , you look so happy." Nanako smiled as she set the table.
"Huh? Am I?" Ryoma asked his cousin.
"Yes, yes you are." Nanako replied.
"Is that so.." Ryoma sighed.
pat pat pat
"Ryoma-kun, thank you for letting me use your bathroom, I'm done now." Sakuno smiled .
Ryoma turned his head towards the girl he loves.
"I see, my turn then." Ryoma got up and headed to the shower.
Sakuno sat where Ryoma was, she took a deep breath and absorbed in her surroundings.
"Good Morning Sakuno-chan" Nanjiro smiled at the girl.
"G-Good Morning Ojii-san." Sakuno was taken by surprise by Nanjiro's suddeness.
"You know Sakuno-chan, my son is bad at showing his feelings. I don't know where the hell he got that from but I
apologize for his behalf. His pretty grouchy and way too serious too. He needs to learn to have a dream, a goal, an
inspiration... He will never be on top if he doesn't have those. So Sakuno-chan, will you help him find those?"
Nanjiro said as a smile grew on his face.
"If it's for Ryoma-kun.. I'll try my best to help him. I want to support Ryoma-kun in anyway possible." Sakuno
explained making Nanjiro assured.
"You're a nice girl, Sakuno-chan." Nanjiro replied.
"H-Huh? N-not rea-" Sakuno was cut off by one Ryoma Echizen.
"What are you talking about?" Ryoma asked, standing between the two' ma-kuuuunnn so nossssyy." Nanjiro
teased his son.
"What is it?" Ryoma repeated trying not to sound irritated.
"It's a secret between Sakuno-chan and I, ne?" Nanjiro placed a finger on his lips and winked at the girl.
"H-Hai!" Sakuno agreed as she looked at her irritated prince.
"Now , now.. Breakfast is ready everyone." Nanako announced to the 3, Rinko, Ryoma's mother, left early for work.
"Comiiiiing!" Nanjiro childishly said as he dashed to table.
Finishing through breakfast Ryoma and Sakuno headed for school.
As they both walked through the streets a familiar sophomore rode by.
"Yo Echi-... Sakuno-chan?!" Momo shouted.
"G-Good Morning Momo-senpai." Sakuno smiled.
"What're you guy doing so early in the morning?" Momo asked.
"As you can see, we're going to school." Ryoma bluntly said.
"That's not what I meant." Momo replied.
"E-Eto... I.. I... We.. uhh.." Sakuno stuttered trying to explain but she kept on blushing.
"It's none of your business, Momo-senpai." Ryoma shot back as he dragged the long haired girl away from his
senior.
"Oi oi, you don't have to be so defensive." Momo replied as he followed the two.
Morning practices started well, They went by the usual.
In our princess' classroom there you'll see her and her loud friend.
"Sakuno! I called your house yesterday, Your grandma said that you were not home.. Where were you?" Tomoka
asked.
As Sakuno heard her bestfriend ask, her face turned red.
"W-Well... You see... I ... last night.." Sakuno hurriedy said.
"Pardon?" Tomoka replied.
"I... slept over at Ryoma-kun's house last night." Sakuno said trying not to faint.
"Oh Oka-... YOU WHAAATTT?! OH MY GOSH SAKUNO SAKUNO SAKUNOOOO TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT! I CAN'T
BELIEVE YOU SLEPT OVER AT RYOMA-SAMA'S HOUSE!" Tomoka shouted making everyone turn to her.
This made her classmates intrigued and started to eaves drop in their conversation.
"What did you guys do?" Tomoka enthusiastically asked.
"W-Well.. We planned the theme for the sports fest." Sakuno replied thinking that she doesn't have a choice, she's
her bestfriend after all.
"How did you ended up sleeping there?" Tomoka followed.
"Ka-Karupin, Ryoma-kun's cat.. accidentally jumped on my back and I fell.. on Ryoma-kun.. He didn't let me
go...you now he's awfully strong." Sakuno explained, didn't even thought that what she said could be implied to
something else.
"KYAAAAAAA!" Tomoka shrieked.
"So Noisy.." Ryoma groaned as he entered their classroom.
"Ry-Ryoma-kun, good morning." Sakuno greeted.
"Yeah." RYoma replied as he sat beside her.
Everyone looked at them, some of the girls where talking about the conversation and it spread like wild fire.
Through out the day, the students topic where the two.
Sakuno was cleaning outside the sports shed when suddenly a red head dashed towards her.
"Sakuno-chan! Sakuno-chan! Is it true?!" Jirou shouted.
"J-Jirou-kun!" Sakuno was startled.
"About.. you .. and... that brat... you.. slept..over...his house.." Jirou panted.
"Ha-hai but it's for the sports festival, it wasn't planned though." Sakuno explained as she swept dried leaves
away.
"Thank goodness.." Jirou sighed looking so relieved.
"How are you Jirou-kun?" Sakuno asked.
"I'm doing pretty well...but there's someone I've been missing .." Jirou pouted looking at the girl who captured his
heart.
"Missing?.. Who?" Sakuno looked at Jirou.
"Isn't it obvious Sakuno-chan?... I miss.. I miss you." Jirou said as he looked at Sakuno with eyes filled with
longingness.
"Ji-Jirou-kun.." Sakuno stuttered looking down at the ground.
"Sakuno-chan.. I'm so jealous...jealous of that brat always around you.. " Jirou replied with a painful expression on
his face.
"Jirou-kun is a very affectionate guy... ne? You don't have to be jealous Jirou-kun... Even though...Ryoma-kun and I
spent time together ..he doesn't know what I feel towards him.. He doesn't care either.." Sakuno said looking sad.
"Sa-Sakuno-chan, I want to make you smile. I'll try my best , okay? I won't force you to like me .. I'll wait.. just be
around me .. please?" Jirou replied.
"You.. You don't have to be so serious Jirou-kun.. If you want to hang out.. just stop by here if you want, we're
friends arent we?" Sakuno chuckled.
"W-Well.. I suppose you're right." Jirou laughed looking so sheepish.
"Ne Sakuno-chan! Let me treat you today! " Jirou added.
"Treat?" Sakuno asked.
"Yeah, let's eat , okay?" Jirou looked happy.
"S-Sure.." Sakuno replied.
"Then let's make it our pre-date date before our date." Jirou followed with a goofy smile.
"Eh?" Sakuno was surprised.
"Come on, Please?" Jirou asked looking like a puppy.
"Okay, Okay." Sakuno agreed. Sakuno was about to put the sweeper on the side when she accidentally tripped,
Jirou luckily caught her causing them to fall down together.
"O-.. Ouch.. Sakuno-chan, are you alright?" Jirou said as he cupped Sakuno's chin.
"I'm okay Jirou-kun.. Thank you very much." Sakuno blushed.
"It was nothing~" Jirou chuckled.
"Ji-Jirou-kun.. your hand... it bleeding.." Sakuno held Jirou's left hand.
"It's just a scratch Sakuno-chan, don't worry~" Jirou blushed.
"No way, Let's go to the infirmary now!" Sakuno insisted as she dragged the magician all the way to the nurse.
"Sa-Sakuno-chan.." Jirou sighed as she looked at the girl who's holding his wrist dragging him all the way to the
nurse's office to aid his bleeding hand.
"Hmm?" Sakuno hummed.
"Nothing~" Jirou replied with a sheepish smile.
"Okay, we're here.." Sakuno said as she opened the door, she looked around. The nurse is nowhere in sight.
"The nurse is gone.. well, sit here." Sakuno said.
"Un.." Jirou said as he sat on the counter.
"Sakuno-chan, Thank You ~" Jirou added.
"No need to thank me." Sakuno smiled as she treated Jirou's hand and put a band aid on it.
Jirou smiled, he looked at the clock, his eyes widened.
"Sa-Sakuno-chan I have to go! Our lunch time is almost over! Shit! Sakuno-chan, sorry! Wait for me after school!
I'll pick you up, okay? Thank yoouu! See ya later~" Jirou hurriedly said as he scurried away.
"Jirou-kun is really cheerful, ne?" Sakuno chuckled to herself as she fixed herself and went out.
The last class ended, Ryoma being his cocky self confidentally said
"Ryuzaki, I'll walk you home, So wait fo-" He was cut off.
"So-Sorry , Ryoma-kun.. Jirou-kun and I are gonna hang out after school.. Sorry.." Sakuno apologized.
"I see.." Ryoma simply said with a grim expression and left.
"Ryoma-kun..." Sakuno worriedly said.
Meanwhile in the courts,
"Ochibi! Is it true!? You and Sakuno-chan in one roof last night?! So young~" Eiji sang.
"I never thought Echizen would work so fast." Fuji chuckled while Inui scribbled on his notebook like always.
"It's true, but it's not what you think. We simply dozed off.. together in my room." Ryoma said.
"But still, Ochibi~" Eiji looked all giddy.
"So , where's Sakuno-chan? Are you two going home together?" Momo teased.
"She has other plans." Ryoma said with a killing intent. He gripped his racket hard and his mood got worse.
"O-Ochibi did you got dumped?" Eiji hesitantly asked.
"I said I'll walk her home.. but then she said that she has other plans with that orange haired monkey." Ryoma sighed.
"That guy is persistent , isn't he?" Momo exclaimed.
