Summary: RyoSaku. At the start of high school, Sakuno is forced to leave Seigaku. Trying to move on proves to be impossible.

Chapter Ten

It was all...very strange, Sakuno thought. She was really, truly, in the last place she ever thought she'd end up in.

Sleeping in a guestroom at the Echizen house.

Not that she was sleeping. She was still very wound up over the whole evening she'd had. From Ryoma showing up at work, to the confrontation with Nishimura Akihiko, to the somewhat frank discussion with Ryoma, onto the horribly embarrassing discussion with Ryoma's parents, and finally the brief phone call with her own parents. She'd been through an emotional roller coaster that evening like no other. She kind-of felt like she'd been smacked, hugged, ran over, left in a ditch, fished out of said ditch and then dropped into a hotel to sleep it all off.

Not exactly a picnic.

Still, being at Ryoma's house again...was odd. It was doubly odd knowing she would be living there from this night forward, but what really had her reeling was simplybeing there.

Again.

The last time she'd been there...well...

To add further embarrassment to that was the fact that tonight Ryoma's parents were there too, just down the hallway.

She rolled over and placed her palm against the wall...what really had her heart thumping like she was having a panic attack was the thought that on the other side ofthis wall, was Ryoma's room.

She could hear him too, he was puttering about. She could hear every footstep and the sounds of him opening and closing drawers. He was muttering something too, which was probably fairly loud if you were in his room, but since there was a wall separating them, all she could make out was the sound of his voice. Knowing Ryoma, it was probably all in English so she wouldn't understand it anyways. Why did he always have to speak in English when he was riled up? It wasn't like it was his first language. Hmm...maybe it was something more simple, like they had more swear words...

She choked out a giggle at that thought. Surprised at the sound of her own voice, she placed her other hand over her mouth. With a returning wave of melancholy, she gave the wall a deep sigh.

Ryoma's bedroom door opened and closed, the few steps between his room and the guest room she was in were closed and a second later her door was opening.

Sakuno sat up and looked at Ryoma's silhouette created from the hall light streaming into the darkness of the room.

He closed the door behind him. Keeping the room in darkness he made his way over to the bed, put his arms around her and effortlessly swept her up to her feet.

"You're going to sleep in your dress?" He asked amusedly, keeping his arms around her as she automatically slouched into him.

"I don't have anything else," She replied dryly.

He steadied her onto her feet and then taking one of her hands pulled her in the direction of the door.

"Where are we going?" Sakuno asked.

"My room."

Sakuno shook her head vehemently, even though it was completely lost on Ryoma, not only because the room was dark, but also because his back was to her as he continued to pull her along.

"A-Auntie-"

Ryoma stopped and turning toward her whispered conspiratorially, "You don't think they really expect you to sleep in here alone, do you?"

Sakuno was grateful for the darkness as she felt herself flush red from head to toe. Oh my. "I-I do actually."

"Mada mada dane," He let out a huff. As he opened the door he turned back and whispered, "Be quiet then."

Sakuno's eyes widened and she held her breath as Ryoma quietly led her out of the guestroom and into his considerably larger bedroom. He closed both of the doors softly. She took in his blue pajama bottoms and bare chest as he shuffled her into his room towards his bed.

The lights in his room were dimmed to a soft glow and he'd laid out a couple of his larger t-shirts on top of his comforter. He gestured towards the clothing, "Pick one."

Sakuno allowed herself to crack a small smile of delight at his thoughtfulness and selected the one that looked the softest and most worn in as Ryoma added, "Tomorrow, we can go get your things."

He was standing very close to her, almost touching every inch of her side as he reached his hand out and stroked the backs of his fingers down the side of her bare arm.

She glanced up at him with slightly watery eyes, his t-shirt hanging in one hand by the neck, her brown maid dress sans petticoat still on and said, "I don't have much."

He was relaxed, she could tell, his hazel eyes were a warm green and his gaze was steady, all of his attention focused on her. It was kind-of surreal. Ryoma had always been so focused in the past on not much besides tennis to the point that having all of his attention on herself was a bit disconcerting. She didn't know what to do.

His hand had moved from her arm to her back and was at the base of her neck, lightly tugging down on the zipper of her dress, "Do you want some help?"

She blushed slightly, but turned her back towards him and lifted her hair up so he could see, "Thank you."

She felt his fingers brush against the bare skin of her back here and there as he slowly zipped open her dress. She removed her arms from the sleeves and let it drop to the floor, keeping her back to him and then lifted his shirt and slipped it over her head. She pulled her loose hair from the shirt and then leaned down and picked her dress up from the floor. Shaking it out she zipped the back up again and laid it across the back of the chair tucked into Ryoma's desk. As she turned back towards the room from his desk, she found herself engulfed in his arms.

"Are you okay, Sakuno?" He asked softly.

She flushed and wondered what he was referring to exactly. It was a fairly loaded question, considering everything.

She relaxed into his embrace and finally said just as softly, "I don't know."

"Hn."

They held each other in silence for a few minutes. Finally, he steered her to his bed, tossed the other shirt on the floor and tucked her in before walking back toward the door and turning off the overhead lights completely. In the moonlit darkness, he made his way back to his bed and climbed in with her.

She was moving as he got in, her hands under his shirt she was wearing behind her back, then reaching through the sleeves one at a time and he wondered at it, until her bra came through the second sleeve.

Ah.

She leaned across him to drop her bra on the floor and he grabbed her around the middle, pulling her down on top of him. She floundered for a second, so he flipped her over quickly so she could lay on her back and at his quick movement her elbow struck the wall. She let out a nervous giggle as he snorted in amusement. Damn, it was good to be together.

"Sorry," and then he was kissing her.

The elder Echizens were in their master bedroom down the hall, talking quietly about the changes that had happened since they'd left Japan. They were trying to work out what would happen to the teenagers after they left when they heard a slight bump and then giggling from Ryoma's room down the hallway.

Nanjiro gave a wicked grin of male pride in his son to his wife as she blushed slightly and shook her head, "I didn't hear that."

Nanjiro's smirk widened, "Sure, sure."

Early the next morning, Nanjiro woke at the crack of dawn with a grin. He went to the bathroom and quickly went through his morning ritual, dressed and hustled down the hallway to Ryoma's room. He gave a slight knock on the door and listened to the rustling inside for a second before opening the door with a grin.

"Good morning, Seishounen!" He took in Ryoma sitting up without his shirt on, his lower half still under the covers, the lump of covers next to him with brown wavy locks over the top, and articles of clothing on the floor. He looked at his son again and watched his son's expression sour as he added gleefully, "And Sakuno-chan."

Ryoma put the arm closest to Sakuno over the lump she made with the covers as she squeaked in response to his father's taunting. He closed his eyes in annoyance for a moment and with a shooing wave of his other hand said irritably, "Get out already, Old Man."

"I forgot to tell you kids something important last night," Nanjiro said.

"What."

"Sakuno-chan's parents said she can stay here alone with you, but only if you two are engaged."

From under the covers Sakuno let out a scandalous, "They didn't!" At the same time Ryoma said, "Fine."

"Ryoma!" The covers protested.

Ryoma pat the lump with some force, "Stop pretending you aren't in love with me."

The covers shook for a second, and Nanjiro watched with untold amusement before the top of Sakuno's head appeared, glaring at his son.

"It's marriage," She said.

"What did you think I was talking about with you yesterday?"

Father and son both watched as the small part of Sakuno that was visible turned a dark shade of red, it even showed through to the roots of the hair on her head.

A second later, the top of her head disappeared again under the comforter. After a few seconds of incomprehensible mutterings, Sakuno stammered, "O-okay then."

"Great. I know Rinko already said it, but really...welcome to the family Sakuno-chan!"

The covers on the bed quivered before a tiny voice said softly, "Ah - thank you, uncle."

"Oh, Sakuno-chan. Just call me Papa, and bake cookies and give me kisses when I come visit and-"

Nanjiro observed with glee as his son's face flushed red with anger at his words. "Get out!" He yelled, interrupting Nanjiro's cute daughter-in-law fantasy instructions.

"Okay, okay!" Nanjiro said as he backed out of the doorway and closed the door. He gave his son's bedroom door a grin and then walked down the hallway whistling happily.

What a cute son and daughter-in-law he had!

Ryoma on the other hand had woken up to the slight noises in the house coming from his old man being awake. He wasn't used to having other people in the house anymore. Remembering what all had happened the day before, his eyes shot open, his heart beating frantically in panic, and his mind spinning with doubt. He whipped his head to the side to make sure Sakuno was still there.

She was.

Good. Oh good, oh good, oh good, he thought as his pulse rate relaxed. He took a deep, calming breath.

He might have killed her if she'd left him again, really. He wrapped an arm around her bare midsection and pulled her sleeping form up against his body, reveling in her warmth. This was more like it.

If his parents weren't there...this would be perfect.

Soon enough. Soon enough they would be gone. Sakuno would be there with him and they would have their shared high school experiences, go to the US Open together that summer, and every year from then on...and all the other tournaments he'd start doing after he was eighteen and graduated. From now on...she'd be there by his side, always no matter what.

He'd make sure of it.

THE END

Okay, so I just have a few things I'd like to say with regards to this story and to this plot, the circumstances, etc. before we get to the party...

As I'm sure many of you already know, date rape is no joke. It's a really big problem in the big bad world, as well as rape in general, and there are a lot of emotional issues tied into it. (For both the victim and the attacker in some circumstances as well, I'm sure.) One of the biggest emotional problems stems from the circumstances of date rape, and that is that it's common for victims of date rape to be discredited when they speak out about it. Sadly, they usually know their attackers well, and as a result people are torn between sides and who to believe. There are probably some terrible girls that are all like The Crucible about date rape, and that's really terrible because they fuel the unbelievability of real victims, but in the end, the most important thing is to be supportive and give an ear to those that say this has happened to them. Real trauma can't really be faked, no matter how good of an actress some drama queens may be, and you should be able to discern through conversation despite how well or not you may know someone that claims to be a victim if they really are or not. One of the most damaging things someone can do though is not believe them. It is a battle for victims to speak about it at all. For most females something like rape, be it date rape or another form of rape get wrapped up in shame, guilt and embarrassment. For many victims, the emotional trauma never truly goes away and it changes them to at least some degree for the rest of their lives. If you have been a victim of rape, make sure you talk about it, even if you only ever pray about it because you don't want to talk about it with people, but for you own good, get it off your chest in one way or another instead of bottling it up inside, and never, ever, EVER, EVER blame yourself. You were NOT asking for it, and any guy that says otherwise is a severely lacking in self control bastard. If he's really THAT horny there are other ways than RAPING someone, so don't ever ever ever blame yourself. FORCE should NEVER come into play in an act of LOVE. If you know someone that has been raped, please always support them, and remember one of the most important things is to support them the way they want to be supported. Not every girl or woman needs or wants you to be their so-called knight in shining armor that takes on the world about it. Sometimes all they really need is someone that understands and that will help them chase away their fears, not someone out for revenge or justice on the matter. If they do want justice, then support that of course, but I'm just saying, make sure you support and love others the way they want to be loved and supported, not the way YOU want to love and support them. I didn't write this story to make a statement or get preachy, but after reading the emotional reactions many of you had to Sakuno's almost-rape I felt a responsibility I didn't realize I was taking on in writing this, so I felt the need to give some information on this, especially since I have both friends and family that I know that have been victims of rape and I've seen first hand the effects of it.

Now I will get off my soapbox. :D

I would love to hear from all of you readers out there about your thoughts on the story or what I've shared. Also...just to throw it out there, my inbox is ALWAYS open if you want support or someone to talk to. Sometimes it's easier to tell someone that for all intents and purposes is a stranger about the messed up stuff in your life than it is to tell someone you're close to, so by all means...if you all didn't know already, I'm here if any of you should ever need someone to talk to over serious things or silly things. I can listen, I can give advise. I'm by no means perfect or know everything, but I'm always ready to do my best to help out my fellow humans. :)

xoxo Bunny

All readers, be forewarned, the rest of this is nothing but crack fic for my reviewers. :)

Bunny slumped into the couch in her living room. Her 60' flat screen flickered with Sgt. Frog at the other end of the room, and her surround sound speakers blasted the constant jokes the anime was firing at her. Her old generation one Playstation 3 hummed with use since she was using Netflix to watch her anime and the air conditioning blasted down upon her head.

So Cali summer.

It was so hot today, she felt like she would melt every time she stepped outside. It made her feel insanely lazy. She allowed her head to lull backwards until it hit the top of the sofa cushion. "UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH," She wined over the noise.

Echizen Ryoma shoved a cold beer into one of her hands and poked her forcefully in the side, "Update my fanfic."

Bunny's head lifted and she gave the prince of tennis a full on DOOM BUNNY™ death glare. She took a long swig of the ice cold beer and let out a loud "HAAAAH!" of satisfaction. "Yadda."

Ryoma poked her again, harder, "Update. Update. Update. Update."

Bunny smacked his hand away, "Stop it! What are you? 12?"

Ryoma leaned over her, getting way into her personal space and leaving scant inches between their faces, "I'm 16 and I want my happy ending."

Bunny flushed as she shoved him away, "How many times do I have to tell you to keep out of my personal space kid?"

She took another long swig of her beer, keeping a cautious eye on Ryoma.

He grabbed the beer from her hands then, and finished the rest of it in one swig. Slamming the empty beer bottle on the coffee table he said, "Update the damn fanfic, Bunny!"

"I don't want to," She whined. "I'm tired!"

Ryoma got up and stomped into the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator he grabbed two more cold beers. He quickly used the beer opener that was screwed into the drawer next to the fridge, and watched with satisfaction as the metal caps clinked their way into the trash can sitting just below. Making his way back through the living room he slid back on the couch next to the cranky fanfic writer and handed her another cold brew as he took a sip of his own.

"Who said you could drink?" Bunny asked irritably, though she didn't bother to grab the beer out of the young man's hand.

Ryoma gave her a bored look, knowing she was too tired to make a fuss about it anyways. He took another sip as he watched the anime playing on the big screen across the room, "What's it going to take?"

Bunny sighed as she gave her laptop a long look. Taking another sip from her beer she smirked at Ryoma, "Hmmm. You'll have to count up the reviewers counts for me, organize them into review counts and then give me the total. Then you have to type it all out for me."

"Deal."

"Oh...I wasn't finished."

Ryoma gave her a leery look.

"You know what I want."

He rolled his eyes, "Fine."

"Fine what?"

"Fine, my Queen."

Bunny began laughing hysterically as Ryoma gave a slight growl of irritation, but grabbed her laptop and began to work on the reviewers project.

- Half an hour later -

Ryoma poked Bunny in the ribs, "I have your totals, my Queen."

Bunny snickered again. It was amazing what lengths a guy would go through to get...

"So it's 58 total."

"58 total what?"

"58 total reviewers, my Queen."

She laughed again. It was so awesome how sarcastically he always delivered it...

"And the numbers for each one?"

"Two reviewers for all 9 chapters so far, three for 8, one for 7, five for 6, five for five, two for 4, 7 for three, 11 for two, and 22 for only one. MY QUEEN."

Bunny handed Ryoma her empty beer bottle, "I'm going to need another beer."

Ryoma got up, "Yes, my Queen."

As Ryoma arrived back after fetching her majesty another beer she said, "Tell me who reviewed all 9 then and we'll start with that."

"SinfulEmerald and ILoveSxS, my Queen."

Bunny laid her head back and began to tell her story as Ryoma typed away...

SinfulEmerald and ILoveSxS were hanging out with Bunny in her spa in her backyard. The bubbles were foaming up around the three of them as they laughed and giggled and plotted away possible RyoSaku mischief.

Finally, Bunny took a large gulp of her glass of water before giving the two girls a sly grin. "Okay, so I actually have a little something for you two."

"Oh really?" SinfulEmerald asked as she quirked one eyebrow in obvious interest.

Bunny grinned and nodded enthusiastically.

"So what is it?" ILoveSxS asked.

"I printed out a sneak peak for you two of my next story."

SinfulEmerald squealed with excitement, "Do you mean It's Complicated?"

Bunny nodded again before a second later both girls had the fanfic author submerged under the water as they clambered over her demanding, "Give it to us! Give it to us!"

Black Rose, Maria-Reynne and Strands of Ivy and Sakura arrived from walking down the driveway a minute later and seeing the commotion rushed over to the spa, quickly removing the two excited girls off of Bunny.

Bunny rose from the warm water with a gasp for air, "Please don't kill me!" She laughed as the three of them all got out of the spa and dried off. Bunny opened the backdoor and swiping a couple of print-outs off of the kitchen counter just inside the door, she returned back outside and handed one to SinfulEmerald and one to ILoveSxS.

Both girls grinned as they dropped onto some of the lounge chairs there on the deck and began reading.

"What's that?" Maria-Reynne asked.

Bunny gave a shrug before she motioned for the other three girls to follow her into the house. Inside the living room she had the three of them seat themselves on her sofa before she handed them some printouts as well.

"What's this?" Strands of Ivy and Sakura asked as she flipped through the pages quickly.

"A just a few of the For Services Rendered Afterthoughts drabbles that I haven't posted up yet."

"Awesome!" Black Rose exclaimed. The three all grinned happily before they began reading.

Bunny had a satisfied look in her eyes for a moment as she watched her happy readers before her cell phone rang. Walking over to her entertainment stand where her phone was plugged in and charging, she unplugged the phone and answered her call, "Hello?"

"Bunny!"

"Ah! nertz-chan!"

"Whasssssup?"

"WHASSSSUP?" Bunny responded back just as enthusiastically. The two burst into laughter.

"So Ryoma called me and said it was time for another reviewers party?"

"Yup! Head on over to my house."

"Do you need anything?" nertz asked.

Bunny thought for a minute, "Hmm...how many people can your van hold?"

"Twelve. I have one of those huge party vans."

"Perfect. Do you think you could bring all the number 2 reviewers?"

"All the what?"

"The number 2 reviewers."

"What's that?"

"All the people that, yanno...reviewed twice?"

"OOOOhhhh. Wait. How many times did I review?"

"Seven."

"So I get the honor of taking care of other reviewers?"

"Are you complaining? You asked if you could help."

nertz laughed, "Naw, I'm just messing with you. You know you can always count on me for support."

"I do! You're so good to me. So here's a list of who you need to pick up. Majin Son Goku, i'llgetyouback, Muddy Writer, cloudgoddess, Ryo-senpai, krisaku, LeyCoo, sai, koori no hime, littlesnipper, and Guest 2. I'll have Inui call you with everybody's address in a few."

"Okay. See you soon, Buns."

"See ya, bye."

"Bye."

As Bunny hung up her phone the front door burst open and in walked ai-chan97, Enma20, redwhatsername, Benny Powell and 1wingedangelX.

"Welcome!" Bunny exclaimed as she headed over to greet her guests.

"Hey Bunny," They all greeted.

"THIS IS BORING," Ryoma interrupted.

"What?" Bunny said.

"This is boring," Ryoma repeated.

Bunny placed the cool beer bottle against Ryoma's arm and grinned as he pulled his arm away quickly and shot her a scowl.

"You're the one that wanted to rush me and make me do this today when I didn't feel like it, and don't forget to call me your queen, you peon."

Ryoma banged the laptop keys for a moment, causing the computer to make a strangled beeping sound.

"Don't mess up my $1800 laptop," Bunny groused.

"Oh shove it."

"What?"

"Oh shove it, my Queen."

Bunny let out a sigh and said, "Whatever. Are we finishing this or what?"

Ryoma grunted, so Bunny continued.

1wingedangelX gave the whole party a mischievous grin before declaring, "Well, I brought you some hostages."

Bunny blinked at her self proclaimed stalker, "Some what?"

"Hostages, you know people that are-"

"I know what hostages are," Bunny deadpanned.

"Right!" 1wingedangelX replied. "So anyways, I was thinking I should bring them in."

"By all means."

1wingedangelX grinned before going out of the door and then quickly coming back in with all the regulars from Rikkai, and Hyotei which were all quickly bombarded by Black Rose, Maria-Reynne, Strands of Ivy and Sakura, ai-chan97, Enma20, redwhatsername, and Benny Powell.

As everybody in the house was busy, Bunny made her way back outside to check in on SinfulEmerald and ILoveSxS to see what they thought about what she'd given them to read from It's Complicated. Instead she was stopped at the door by foureyesfreak27.

"Bunny, jerui is at it with Fuji again."

Bunny shook her head. She really didn't want to know.

"So you know...I was wondering if maybe I could you know...get some Tezuka action or something..."

Bunny coughed for a few minutes and then nodded her head, "Sure whatever you want foureyesfreak27."

"Yay!"

She made her way out of the door, but instead of running into SinfulEmerald and ILoveSxS she was greeted by SoshiGee, JulieBookLover21 and a who were all drinking and chatting just past the doorway.

"Oh hi when did you guys get here?" Bunny asked.

"A little while ago," SoshiGee said.

"Oh, Bunny! SinfulEmerald let me see part of the It's Complicated teaser you gave her, I really liked it," JulieBookLover21 shared.

"You did? I mean, she did? I mean, that's great!" Bunny said.

Hmmm.

"So Bunny," a began, "That thing I was asking you about?"

"Oh! Right. You wanted to know if I know the author of Danger in the Tennis Courts. I went and searched for that fanfic, it's by iKiohri. To my knowledge, I don't know iKiohri, I'm sorry about that I wish I could help you out. I don't think I really know all that many other active authors in Prince of Tennis RyoSaku fandom right now. It's one of the reasons why I wanted to build Ponta Pair to get a nice active RyoSaku community up online. Back in 2008 when we did the fanfic/fanart exchange I got to know a some people then from LiveJournal like Cinpii, Dira, Jia, Hazelnut, Ames, OrangeAce, Kyralea, Asanisan, Neko11Lover, and Astraldrop11, but besides that I only really know those of you that have interacted with me on my fanfics here on FFNET over the years. As for story adoption on unfinished fanfics I would check with the author first on if the stories have actually been abandoned or if they're just on hiatus due to life getting in the way of writing. My first recommendation for that would be to send a PM here through FFNET. You'll need to set up an account, but you don't have to be a writer here to have an account. Accounts are a great way to keep track of the stories you're reading with the story alert system, your favorite stories, and you can contact authors with the PM system. If that doesn't get a response then you might want to try hitting up the _ryosaku community on LJ or you can join Ponta Pair and post on the forums about it, as more of us RyoSaku fans gather over there, you just might find someone that does know iKiohri, or even better iKiohri might show up and you can ask direct."

a nodded in understanding, "Okay, thanks for the tips, I'll see what I can find out."

"Great, and thank you so much for all your support. Your reviews have always been so wonderful."

a blushed, "Awww Bunny, you are embarrassing me!"

"So-" Bunny was cut off as Eiji glomped onto her back.

"Hoi hoi Bunny-chaaaaaan."

Bunny grunted with the force of the weight on her back, "Eiji, you're hurting me," She complained.

Eiji removed himself from off her back, "Sorry, sorry Bunny-chan. So where's O'chibi and Sakuno-chan?"

"FINALLY we're getting to the good stuff!" Ryoma exclaimed.

Bunny smacked his arm, "Quiet, you! I'm working here."

"Proceed, my Queen."

"As I was saying..."

"I'm not sure. Last I heard nertz said Ryoma had called, but I haven't heard anything from Sakuno yet."

"Oh...well, please let me and Momo know, okay?" Eiji asked.

"Sure," Bunny replied.

IfLooksCouldKill13 came into the backyard then through the backdoor and gave everybody a glare, "I'm finally here."

"Welcome!" Bunny greeted.

"Thanks."

"BURNING CANNON BALL!" Kawamura yelled as he ran across the deck and jumped into the larger pool. The water splashed out with a big wave as everybody close by shrieked at the sudden water attack.

"Awesome!" mae exclaimed before following Kawamura into the pool.

When did...?

"Yay!" Dita5000 added before jumping in as well.

"Stop it!" lechat23 yelled as Ryosaku12 also jumped into the water splashing everybody once again.

Jasmini, Dorbis and Sakura that had all also just arrived from nowhere eased themselves into the pool as well.

Bunny shrugged and made her way down to the lower deck where she finally caught back up with SinfulEmerald who was hanging out with Kaidoh and Oishi.

"So what did you think?" Bunn asked.

SinfulEmerald gave a squee and started gushing about her favorite lines.

Bunny grinned with excitement, and determined to write out the rest of the story so she could start posting it up quickly.

"Oh, that's right," Ryoma interrupted yet again.

Bunny huffed with frustration. She was in the home stretch!

"What?"

"That new story, my Queen."

"What about it?"

Ryoma gave Bunny a smirk, "I really like it."

"I really like it MY QUEEN," Bunny reminded him.

"I really like it my Queen."

"You would!"

Ryoma's smirk morphed into a grin and his eyes danced with mischief, "It is all true, you know, my Queen."

"What is?" Bunny asked.

"That I like to...bully that girl," Ryoma admitted.

Bunny rolled her eyes, "I know. Why do you think I'm writing that story?"

Ryoma removed his hands from the keyboard and said, "So is it going to have a happy ending too, my Queen?"

Bunny grinned then, "Of course it will, silly! I'll always write happy endings only. I can't do anything else, I'm a happy endings kind of girl."

Ryoma nodded.

"So anyways...like I was saying..."

Bunny wondered what had happened to ILoveSxS when a busload of people appeared at the end of the driveway with ILoveSxS at the head of them. the-clumsy-one, Nikooru-sama, ScarlettFire93, kookiie, Cookie, VBloodmoon4, Guest 3, smac3993, Nicole Panthera Ozera, bubblegum417, aryaputra, majo18, Guest 4, ChordOverstreetFanm, umi, 2crazy2createAnAccount, Oliviaaaox101, CeKhay, arinhelmelleide, kawaii-witch181, Deathly Jester and Lady Darlings were all spotted in the pack and Bunny gave a sigh of relief that everybody had made it, but wait...what about?

"ILoveSxS!" Bunny exclaimed, "I was wondering what happened to you."

"Oh, I borrowed the bus and went to pick up all the stragglers, I figured you needed the help."

"Wow, thank you ILoveSxS, that was really awesome of you to do that," Bunny said.

"No worries, I'm happy to help out when I can. Oh, by the way...the new story is pretty cool! I'm looking forward to reading the final edited version and the rest of it when you post it up."

"Yay! I'm so glad to hear it. I need to go find nertz and the two reviews reviewers now," Bunny shared.

As she made to go back into the house nertz came out of the back door, "Hi Bunny! I'm finally here."

"Oh nertz! I was just going to look for you or give you a call, did it go okay to get everybody here?"

"Yup, no problem...so uh...where are Ryoma and Sakuno? I haven't seen them yet."

Bunny worried her lower lip between her teeth, "I dunno. They seem to have disappeared. How weird, they're the guests of honor."

"I know, right?" SinfulEmerald jumped in as she locked arms with Bunny.

"Hey, Bunny, what's this door for?" a asked pointing at the large sliding glass door at the back of the house.

Bunny quickly rushed over to the door explaining, "Ah, that goes into me and my hubby's bedroom, so please don't open it."

"Oh, sorry," a said.

"It's okay, I'm actually going to change really quick if you all want to just party I'll be back in a few," Bunny said.

"Sure, sure," The group near the door said.

Bunny smiled and turned to her sliding glass door. As she opened the door and slid her blackout curtain aside she stepped into the dark room and screamed.

Ryoma and Sakuno were making out on her bed.

As everybody gathered around the backdoor and started commenting on it, Ryoma and Sakuno paid the whole party no mind, they were in their own little world...

I hope to see you all on the next fic! xoxo Bunny
