"And now presenting, the participants from different districts. Mr. Keigo Atobe from Hyotei Gakuen!" Atobe stepped on the stage. Then, his fan girls started to scream. "ATOBE ATOBE"

Then Atobe stood at the front, in the middle of the stage, and he raised his hand with a red rose. Then, he opened his mouth.

"Be awed to my prowess and beauty" After saying this, his fan girls squealed.

"And from Fudomine, Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu!"

Then from Fudomine, the people shouted 'whoo!'. Then the two went up.

"From Rikkaidai, Akaya Kirihara and Genichirou Sanada!"

Then their team shouted "Rikkaidai, go go go go Rikkaidai"

"And the last but not the least, Kiyosumi Sengoku from Yamabuki!"

The crowd are all shouting the participant's name. Everyone is wearing a black tuxedo. Even the representative of Seigaku. Oh, of course, Sakuno is an exception.

Then, the music played.

Wonderful Days...

Atobe grabbed the microphone then began singing...

Mabushii gogo Mado o akeru
Wake mo naku kakeru hikage no komichi

Ah, wonderful days…

(a/n:I'll just write the english ver. in the end...)

"WHOOO!!!" The crowd shouted.

"Great!!!" Everyone clapped their hands.

Then Atobe raised his hands then snapped. Everyone shut their mouths. "Thank you very much" Atobe proudly said.

"And also, Seishun Gakuen, thank you for inviting us..."

"Yeah!! Arigatou!" Kirihara interrupted.

"yeah, though I didn't know about this and I..." Shinji started mumbling something. Kamio sweat dropped.

"Yeah! Thank you! Lucky!" Sengoku said. Sanada didn't say anything but he nodded as a agreement to them.

Then they went down. The host or Horio came up. "Ehem, ehem, N-"

"Come on Horio, just speak!" Tomoka yelled.

Horio twitched his brows. 'Why does this girl always interrupts?'

Then Horio started. "And now! Presenting! The selected students from the Tennis club!! Please welcome, Captain Tezuka Kunimitsu!"

Tezuka went up. "Vice Captain Oishi Shuuichiro!" Oishi then went up and waved his hand to the people. "Fuji Syuusuke!" Fuji did the same. His fan girls started squealing. "And the last but not the least, Ryo-"

"Hurray! Hurray! Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka shouted. She continued shouting until all of Ryoma's fan girls followed.

"Hurray! Hurray! Ryoma-sama!" Then Ryoma sighed and also went up.

"Please watch and listen to them, they will be singing the White line" Then Everyone clapped their hands.

Ryoma started the song...

donna mirai mo hajimari wa kono shunkan koko kara hajimaru glory days... Whatever the future may be from this moment, Our glory days begin from here...

Then Ryoma continued the song. His fan girls can't help but to stare at him while singing. They can't believe he is singing! Some of them even jaw-dropped!

Sakuno watched Ryoma. Ryoma-kun no sugoi!

Then it's Fuji's turn.

sashi dashita...Then his fangirls shouted. Then Oishi...tewo totte hohoemu

Both: kasukani kanjita mono wa... All: yuujou!?

As we hold our hands gently with smiling faces

We can faintly feel something--friendship

Then they continued the song until it ended. After they sang, the crowds gave them an applause while yelling their names.

Then Horio again went up. "That's the White line sung by Tezuka, Oishi, Fuji and Ryoma!"

"And now, presenting, a solo, also from the tennis club! Well actually most of them are the participants, the acrobatic player of the team! Kikumaru Eiji!"

"Hoi!" Kikumaru gave everyone a very amazing entry. He jumped going up on the stage while doing cartwheels in the air. "Yeah!" He said. "Now, presenting, Kikumaru Eiji's 'Happy Song'!"

Then Kikumaru begun singing.

Hoshuu uketari Shitakunaishi

(a/n: I don't even know that song, but still, hmmm...)

"And now! The Seigaku's Captain will sing!"

Then Tezuka went on stage.

Yokogao

After singing, his fan girls jaw-dropped.

"awww, Tezuka-sama!!" They shouted.

"And next! A duet! From Fuji Syuusuke and Kawamura Takashi!"

Days of Moments

(a/n: omg I love this song!)

Then an applause praised them. Again Fuji's fan-girls squealed and also Taka's.

"And now, also a duet from Echizen Ryoma and Momoshiro Takeshi!" Then again, the fangirls begun shouting Ryoma's name.

They sang the Flying Bicycle.

While Ryoma is singing, he noticed that Sakuno is not around.

Where is she?

Momo noticed him. Ryoma kept on looking around while singing.

After they sang, next is a solo from Fuji.

Where is she?

Fuji noticed Ryoma that he is looking for someone.

Hmm, maybe Sakuno...

Then he tapped Ryoma. "Don't worry, she's at the back stage"

Ryoma nodded as a 'thanks'.

Black Rain

Don't Stop The Rain

Kuroi ame no naka Shizuka na hohoemi wo

Don't Heal My Pain

Mada dare mo shiranai boku wo miseru yo

Nakusu mono wo osorenaide idondekuru

Fuji begun singing.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Meanwhile, at the back stage...

Oh no! It's already Fuji-sempai's turn! After singing his several songs, I'm next! Sakuno screamed in her mind.

Ryoma entered the room but it looks like Sakuno didn't notice. He saw Sakuno's worried face.

He sat next to her.

"oi" Ryoma called. Sakuno jerked. She turned around. "Ryoma-kun! You scared me!"

Ryoma then smirked.

Sakuno didn't talk after that. She is still worrying. Ryoma smiled.

"Sakuno, why are you so worried?"

"Huh?" She was snapped. "I-I'm not worried! I-I'm...scared..."

"Stage fright?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, don't worry..." Then Ryoma started walking to the door.

"I'll be here to support you"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"My last song was inspired by...a girl...I made this for her...I actually sang this already with her. But she didn't know that it's a song for me and her."

Fuji's fan girls started dreaming. That should be me!! They thought.

ima hitomi wo tojite kokoro no mama boku ha kimi wo omou...Now I close my eyes and think fondly of you...

Fuji closed his eyes while singing.

Sakuno, this is actually for you...I dreamt of this...this happened in my dreams...you and me...together...

kaeri michi kousaten no mukou kimi ga ita

nagai kami ga kaze to odoru

kawarisou na shingou mitai na kono kimochi

ato ippo ga fumi dasenai

You were beyond the intersection on the road home

Your long hair dancing with the wind

I feel like traffic lights about to change

And can't take a single step forward

'Sakuno...'

hashagi tsudukeru nakama tachi

yuuyake iro no namiki michi

kimi wo surechigatta...

My friends who are still frolicking

Along the tree-lined street colored by the sunset

Passed you by...

'...I...'

sou kagayakidashita kisetsu no naka no...That's right, in the season that started to shine

'...love you...'

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

She closed her eyes. Fuji-sempai's voice...That song...I love that song...It's like he sings that for me...

Fuji-sempai...Are you singing that for me?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

sou kagayakidashita kisetsu no naka no

mirai he to tsuduku michi de

tada hitomi wo tojite kokoro no mama boku ha kimi wo omou

That's right, in the season that started to shine

On the road that continues on into the future

I just close my eyes and think fondly of you

sou sokudo wo ageta toki no nagare ha

atarshii DOA hiraite

tada hitomi wo tojite kokoro no mama boku ha kimi wo omou

That's right, the stream of time that raised our speed

Opens a new door, and

I just close my eyes and think fondly of you

ima hitomi wo tojite kokoro no mama boku ha kimi wo omou

Now I close my eyes and think fondly of you...

A big applause came. Some people were about to drop a tear. They were fascinated by Fuji's voice. It's full of emotions.

Fuji smiled. "Thank you, everyone" He bowed first before he left.

"Oh,sniff, that was a very,sniff, lovely song Fuji-sempai!" Horio said.

"And now, the next one would be, Ms Sakuno Ryuzaki!!"

The people went silent. 'Huh? Sakuno? The shy Sakuno? Will sing?'

"And if you were shocked, and can't believe, well, I present you, Ryuzaki-san!!"

Sakuno went on stage. She is wearing a silvery pink loose sleeve dress with printed flowers from all over. Her hair is styled with a single bun at the back of her head. Her heart is beating so fast, seeing the crowd. She slowly walks at the center. However, nobody clapped their hands.

You can do it, Sakuno. Ryoma said in his mind while smiling at her. Sakuno noticed him. Then the next thing she saw, Fuji is giving her a thumbs up.

The crowd looked at her. 'She's so beautiful'. Ryoma and Fuji can't stop staring at her.

They are here, to support me. Thank you.

Then she opened her mouth.

Sakura saku hi ni Omoi no hane wo todokete Negai wo sora ni hanatsu...Day cherry blossoms bloom Sending feathers of feelings Releasing desire into the sky...

'Whoa' The people thought. She has a beautiful voice.

Kono akogare ga umareta basho e FENCE-goshi ni tatazumu

Kata wo narabete Aa Arukitai Amaete wa irarenai

At the place where this yearning was born I linger over the fence
Lining our shoulders Ah I want to walk I can't keep fawning on

What a very beautiful voice, Sakuno. Ryoma thought.

Sakuno's grandmother is watching her from the side of the stage, smiling. "Looks like the flower already started to bloom"

Sakura saku hi ni Omoi no hane wo todokete Negai wo sora ni hanatsu

Omoi todoke yo Tsubasa Hirogete tobitate Koko kara mimamotteru

The day cherry blossoms bloom Sending feathers of feelings Releasing this desire into the sky
Feelings, reach Wings Spread and take flight From here I watch over you

A pregnant silence filed the room.

'What a voice' The others think. Sakuno bowed her head. She feels like nobody liked her song. Maybe it's not the song. Maybe it's her voice.

But definitely not.

"Sugoi!!!! Ryuzaki-san!" Shouted one of the guys.

"Wonderful!"

"Great!!"

Then everyone started to praise her.

Now, she smiled. She bowed and said thank you to them.

"Ah, ano, Ryuzaki-san, before you leave, can you tell us what or who is your inspiration that made you write that wonderful song?" Horio asked.

Sakuno did not reply immediately. Is she going to say it?

"Ah, ano..."She took a deep breath.

"That song was inspired by a...boy...whom I always think of...I always watch him..."

"oh..well..thank you Ryuzaki-san for sing-"

"MORE!!" Shouted one of the audience.

"More! More! More!"

"Oh, Miss Ryuzaki, looks like they doesn't want you to go yet."

"oh...anou..."

"Go Sakuno!" Ryoma shouted.

Rolling Star from BLEACH

Yume ni made mita you na sekai de

Arasoi mo naku heiwa ni kurashitai

"Whoo!!!" The people started to raise and sway their hands.

Sakuno closed her eyes. She can't believe it. She can now sing without any burdens.

Ryoma never stopped smiling. He is very proud of her. Sakuno...

Fuji also never stopped smiling. You already bloomed...

Sakuno begun swaying her body. She is so happy that she can now share her voice to the others.

Naru beku egao de itai keredo
Mamori nuku tame ni wa shikata nai deshou

Kitto uso nante sou

Imi wo motanai no
All my loving…
Sou ja nakya yatterannai

Then Sakuno leaped.

Then the people also started leaping. Sakuno smiled. She realized that she's wrong. She always thinks that no one will ever appreciate her voice.

Tsumazuitatte Way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Doro doro ke Rolling Star

"Whooo!!!!"

"We love you Sakuno!"

"You're so good!"

"Great!!"

"And now, the next one would be, no other than...Ryoma!!!"

"RYOMA-SAMA!!!" shouted his fangirls.

"Tsk" Ryoma said while walking through the stage.

Then, everyone became silent. Ryoma picked up the microphone.

"People, can you please help me?" Ryoma said.

Okay...Ryoma asking for help? That's out of character. Is he serious?

"I want to..." The crowd listened carefully. "...tell this...certain girl...that..." Then he looked at Sakuno whose sitting at the front. "..that...I..."

"I love her"

Sakuno's eyes became big. Ryoma-kun loves someone? But, why is he looking at me?

"Everyone, do you know who she is?" Ryoma asked. Nobody answered. Maybe his fan girls can't talk because of the excitement that, that girl could be them.

"I bet you don't. But I know, my sempais knows about this already." Then he looked at Fuji. "Fuji-sempai, can you please tell them?"

Fuji nodded. He went up on the stage and borrowed the microphone from Ryoma.

Of course, this is a very difficult thing for Fuji. He's going to tell that person whom he is also in love with. Ryoma smiled at him. "Fuji-sempai...Thank you..." he whispered.

"Minna," Fuji started. "May I call on..."

He can't breath.

"R...Ryuzaki, Sakuno"

What!? A big BOOM appeared in Sakuno's mind. Me?

The people, especially Ryoma's fan girls, is very shocked.

"Miss Ryuzaki, please come up on stage"

Sakuno can't move. She's been frozen by the reality.

Then someone shouted. And of course, a girl.

"GO GO RYOMA!! GO GO SAKUNO!!!" she repeated it for how many times until the other's followed her.

Ryoma offered his hand to Sakuno. Sakuno shyly took it.

"Sakuno, this song is for you"

Thank you for

Awai hanabira ga yurete
Shizuka ni maiorita toki
Kisetsu hakobu chiisa na kaze
Boku no naka toorisugita

When the pale flower petals shook
And quietly landed
The little wind that carries the season
Has passed through me

Tsuyosa o mashita hizashi ga
Atarashii jidai o tsugeru
Tashika ni nagareteru toki o
Tometakute hitomi tojita

The sunlight that increased in strength
Tells me of a new era
I wanted to stop the time that is definitely flowing
And closed my eyes

Tooku kara kikoeteru
Kikinareta waraigoe
Ashita kara wa koko ni inai
Tomo ni kakenuketa hito-tachi

I hear it from far away
The sound of laughter that I've grown used to
People who ran past with me
Won't be here from tomorrow on

Kokoro kara omoeru yo deaete yokatta to
Yasashii hibi ga mune o yogitte wa kiete yuku
"Omedetou" doushite mo iesou ni nai kara
Koko kara kaze ni nose sotto tsubuyaku

It seems from my heart that it's great we'd met
The tender days zip past my chest and disappear
Because I can't seem to say "congratulations" no matter what
I'll let it ride on the wind from here and softly murmur it to you

Konna kimochi ga aru koto
Shirazu ni ikite kita kedo
Odayaka na tanoshii toki ga
Sukoshi-zutsu boku o kaeta

I've lived without knowing
That I have this kind of feelings
But the calm and fun times
Changed me little by little

Ano hi ni mebaehajimeta
Tsuyosa e no atsui omoi
Ima de mo kawaranu hageshisa de
Takami dake mezashite iru

The passionate thoughts toward strength
That started to sprout on that day
Even now, with unchanging intensity
I'm aiming towards the heights

Oshiete kureta koto
Zenbu dakishimenagara
Hajimari ga sugu soko ni aru
Boku-tachi no jidai o ikiru

While embracing everything
That you've taught me
The beginning will be there soon
I'll live in our era

Kokoro kara omoeru yo deaete yokatta to
Yasashii egao wasurenai you ni yakitsukete
"Arigatou" kao o mite iesou ni nai kara
Kooto ni sotto chiisaku tsubuyaita

It seems from my heart that it's great we'd met
I burn your kind smile into me so that I won't forget about it
Because I see your face and I can't seem to say "thank you"
I murmured it faintly and softly in the court

"That song is for you...Sakuno" Ryoma said while holding Sakuno's hands and looking at her chocolate eyes. Sakuno looks very pale. Ryoma smiled.

He looked at the crowd. He is looking for someone. When he finally saw that person, he spoke.

"Ryuzaki-sensei, can I hug her?" Ryoma asked.

'Whoa, he will hug her?' The people thought.

Ryuzaki raised her hand. She gave him a thumbs up because she knows that he won't be able to hear her.

"Arigato, sensei"

"Sakuno..." Then he pulled her softly. He hugged her from the back.

"I love you"

Sakuno stared at him. "Ry-ryoma-kun, are you serious?"

He nodded.

"Sakuno...can you sing with me?"

"huh?"

"I composed something...but you will only sing with me at the chorus...Is that fine?"

"Oh...Of course it is...It's you song!" Sakuno said with a smile.

Between you and me

Baby, between you & me

She was overflowing with joy

Oh baby, baby x2 boy

He taught tennis to her.

one day, two day, three day

hit a ball Nice shot!

Guuzen atta nichiyoubi hare Amari ni hetakuso na yatsu Hakken

I discovered a rather clumsy fellow on a sunny sunday.

After Sakuno heard this...she frowned. Ryoma saw her and he smiled.

Baby, between you & me

She was overflowing with joy

Oh baby, baby x2 boy

He taught tennis to her.

one day, two day, three day

hit a ball Nice shot!

Mata ita yo suiyoubi wa gogo Yaruki dake wa Un Mitomeru keredo

She was there again on a wednesday afternoon. I only acknowledge her will of wanting to learn.

Then Sakuno raised an eyebrow.

Baby, between you & me

She was overflowing with joy

Oh baby, baby x2 boy

He taught tennis to her.

one day, two day, three day

hit a ball Nice shot!

Soshite niwaka-ame Kyou wa Friday Obentou no Okazu wa Yappa FRY de!

Oita RACKET Ue kara tsukamu you ni motsu no wa WESTERN GRIP daro

Akushu suru you ni Kore ga EASTERN point her in the direction

1-2-3 de step up! Shukudai NOTE atomawashi

And so,i was caught in a rain.

Today is Friday, the food in my lunch box is fried.

The way of gripping a racket,

Holding it from the top is called the Western grip, right?

Holding it as though you're shaking hands is the Eastern grip.

Point her in the direction,

1,2,3 step up,

I'll do my homework later...

Baby, between you & me

She was overflowing with joy

Oh baby, baby x2 boy

He taught tennis to her.

one day, two day, three day

hit a ball Nice shot!

Nice shot!

After the song, everyone gave them an applause. Ryoma smiled at Sakuno. Sakuno also smiled at him even the song is a little bit offending to her. But she didn't mind it. It's true!!

"Ryoma-kun...I love you too..."

Sakuno whispered at Ryoma's ear. After hearing this, he quickly hugged her.

After the beautiful flower bloomed, she will be happy forever...
