Then, a blinding light glowed inside Ryoma's body; until it turned so bright it lightened up the whole shop.

Then, the light slowly faded away.

After adjusting their visions from the light, they gaped upon seeing Ryoma turned back into his fifteen-year-old self.

His sudden added weight made Sakuno fall from her chair, which made her on the bottom of Ryoma.

"E-Echizen's back to normal…" Oishi muttered under his drunken state.

:||ChApTeRfOuRtEeN||:

Inui grinned evilly.

Fuji looked at him curiously. "Inui? Didn't you say he'll return to normal on Sunday?"

"Yes, that's what I said." Inui answered. This answer was enough for Fuji and the others to understand everything:

Inui tricked them.

As usual.

Ryoma exhaled deeply. He was lying on top of a flushed and surprised Sakuno. "Whew. So hot here…"

The drunken Ryoma began unbuttoning his shirt. Sakuno blushed redder.

Now, Ryoma was left topless on top of his girlfriend.

Fuji focused his camera more to them.

Tezuka stood up. He wanted to stop what was happening, but at the same time, he also doesn't. So, he just stood there, waiting for what Ryoma would do next.

"Ryoma-kun… R-Ryo-chan… eh? EH?" Sakuno said meekly.

The ichinen trio and Tomoka were all asleep due to the sudden intake of alcohol.

"So, as I've said… I wasn't out in that stripping club to check out girls. It was that shit Momo who made me come!" Ryoma continued.

Sakuno was still staring at him wide-eyed, unable to comprehend what just unfold before her.

"Now, let's have sex." Ryoma added and began nibbling Sakuno's ear.

Everyone's face flushed.

Fuji zoomed in his video camera more. He was also blushing a bit. "Saa…"

"KYAA~" Sakuno yelled and pushed Ryoma away from her.

Ryoma got thrown not too far away from her. "The hell—!"

Sakuno stood up, whole body flushed and panting. "What happened! You were Ryo-chan a moment ago… then you turned into Ryoma-kun!"

Inui cleared his throat. He began explaining everything to Sakuno. A series of different facial expressions made its way towards Sakuno's face as Inui-senpai told her the whole story. And after he was done explaining, Sakuno stood there, shocked at the revelation.

The Ryo-chan she knew was one with his cousin Ryoma-kun. That little kid whom she spent that last two weeks with. That little kid whom she took a bath with. That little kid whom she slept with. That little innocent kid who was calling her 'nee-chan'.

With all those new information that suddenly got into her head, she fainted.

Ryoma stared at her.

"Ryuzaki fainted." He stated the obvious.

And then, Kaidoh started a fight with the other drunken men. Eiji, Momo, Oishi and Kaidoh started exchanging foul words and grappling each other on the ground. Especially Momo and Kaidoh… and if you look at Eiji and Oishi… it did not look much of a grappling match, rather a yaoi thing.

Of course, Fuji caught it all on tape. He turned to Tezuka, "Never knew Oishi and Eiji had that kind of relationship."

Tezuka's glasses beamed. "Make everyone stop." He said authoritatively.

Fuji chuckled and gave Taka a racket.

"BURNING!"

Ryoma crawled seductively towards an unconscious Sakuno. He poked her cheeks and grinned evilly. "You should never let your guard down, Ryuzaki."

Go back to the second chapter. Skim to the part where he said 'Ryuzaki doesn't need to be alert since he's NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING PERVERTED!' Oh, how people change easily.

He kissed her on her lips and began to nibble on her lower lip and I'm going to cut it now since I don't want to turn the ratings of this fic to M.

"BURNING! LET GO OF HER, BABY!" Taka grabbed Ryoma away from his girlfriend. The young boy protested of course, but Taka was too strong for him. He gathered all of the drunken men in a corner and pointed his yellow racket to them. "STOP THE BURNING OF LOVE, MEN! IT'S A MISTAKE! WRONG! IT'S WRONG! YOU BAD BOYS!" He scolded them.

Then, Fuji took out the racket from Taka's hand. "That's enough, Taka-san."

And Kawamura turned back into his old timid self. "Ah… what have I been doing?"

Fuji turned to Tezuka. "There, I made them stop." Fuji opened his eyes when he saw Tezuka's brow twitched.

"You haven't." Tezuka said.

Fuji turned around and saw the drunken men from behind Taka. Ryoma was already crawling his way back to the unconscious Sakuno, Kaidoh and Momo began wrestling again… and this time, he wasn't sure if he was going to be relieved or not but Eiji and Oishi began punching each other. "My, oh my. Looks like you're right. How are we supposed to stop their madness?"

"You don't sound concern at all." Tezuka said. A nerve was already twitching from his forehead.

Fuji chuckled. "Well, you could say that."

Ryoma crawled back to Sakuno. He climbed on top of her and stared at her sleeping face. Her innocent sleeping face to be exact. His face was still red because of the alcohol and he had his eyes half-opened. He hiccupped once more before leaning towards her. He kissed her passionately. And soon, he was unbuttoning her blouse.

Fuji stopped him just in time though. He grabbed Ryoma's wrists and stared at the young prince with his warningly cerulean eyes. "That's enough, Echizen."

Ryoma stared at the tensai with half-lidded half-conscious eyes. "What are you doing, Fuji-senpai?" He asked lazily.

"Now, Fuji sounded concern. Does that help you Tezuka?" Inui asked monotonously.

Tezuka's glasses beamed. Of course Fuji sounded serious that time. He liked Ryuzaki-chan, but never had the intention of letting anyone know. "No." He replied to the data man.

Fuji closed his eyes again. Ryoma was acting lazily now, unlike earlier when he cursed and acted like a low-life man. He smiled. "Looks like you're finally getting sleepy."

Ryoma hiccupped. "Sleepy…? Who's… sleepy? I'm… not… sleepy ye—" He cut himself off as he dropped unconsciously on top of Sakuno.

Fuji turned to Tezuka and smiled again. "Well, we'll just have to wait for Kaidoh, Momo, Eiji, and Oishi to knock themselves out to shut them up, like Echizen."

Tezuka sighed. One thing is for sure, Tezuka would never let them get drunk again, ever.

:||SePaRaToR||:

Ryoma slowly opened his eyes. It was one Saturday morning that involved a lot of headaches, that was what Ryoma was sure of. He didn't know why, but his head hurts a lot! He clutched his head, attempting to ease the pain. He also smelled the disgusting scent of alcohol. He imagined his father pestering him, stinking of alcohol. Maybe his perverted old man decided to visit him, that's why he smelt alcohol everywhere.

He sat up.

That's weird, he thought. His feet reached the floor. In his six-year-old life, he had to jump out of the bed to reach the floor. He stared at his hands. Those weren't that big before either.

He stood up and walked towards Sakuno's full-body mirror. He saw himself. His fifteen year old self.

"So I guess, it's Sunday today…" he uttered. "I'm back to normal…"

Then, he heard a knock on the door. "A-Anou… R-Ryoma-kun… breakfast's ready…"

That was weird too. She called him Ryoma…

He opened the door and saw the timid-looking Sakuno. She blushed upon seeing him stare down at her. "Oi, what happened here?" He asked.

Sakuno stared at him confusedly. "Ah… w-well… y-you were drunk last night s-so I guess you have no idea what happened…"

Ryoma's eyes widened. "Drunk!"

Sakuno nodded. "Kawamura-senpai accidentally made everyone drink sake. You, Kaidoh-senpai, Momo-chan-senpai, Kikumaru-senpai and Oishi-senpai were drunk the whole night." She explained. Last night, Tezuka asked Fuji and Inui to take everyone home as soon as the drunken men passed out. They had a hard time going back and forth, carrying their teammates to their houses.

Ryoma pointed to himself unbelievably. He once swore to himself that he would never ever drink any beverage with even one percent alcohol content so long as he lives his life. He got traumatized when he saw his Oyaji drunk one night and acted really really perverted towards his mom. He never imagined himself getting drunk even. "Me? Drunk?" Those words didn't even sound right in one sentence.

Sakuno nodded meekly.

Then, Ryoma felt his stomach turn upside down. He quickly ran towards the bathroom and voila! The proof that he was drunk last night came out from his mouth.

Sakuno followed after him. She patted Ryoma's back concernedly. "A-Anou… R-Ryoma-kun… are you too unwell to eat breakfast today?"

Ryoma tiredly looked at her. "I'm fine. Just go ahead and eat without me. I'll eat la—" He made another puking sound and vomited on the sink again. Oh, how embarrassing! She saw him like that!

Sakuno obeyed him though. She ate her breakfast alone. She took some glance to the bathroom every once in a while to check up on the prince. At first, she thought about asking him to go back to his own home since he's not a six year old child anymore. But then, she imagined what Ryoma would say to her. He'll only say that he's her responsibility until her grandma gets back. Or whatever excuse he can make up. He'll win either way anyway so why bother.

"AH! STUPID HANGOVER!" The prince yelled as he slumped down tiredly on the couch. He laid down looking extremely tired.

Sakuno walked up to him carrying some kind of medicine, a glass of water and a rice ball. "A-Anou… this medicine is effective for headaches… but you have to at least eat something first before drinking it."

He looked at her with gratifying eyes. He then sat up and ate the rice ball. After he was done, he drank the medicine. He lied back on the couch, thanking Sakuno.

Sakuno smiled and blushed.

"So I guess this means that you already know that Ryo-chan and I were the same." Ryoma said, eyes closed.

Sakuno's purportedly sincere blush turned into an embarrassing one. She remembered every thing she had done with Ryo-chan. Her baths with him, her nights with him… EVERYTHING!

Ryoma took Sakuno's silence as a 'Yes'. He smirked. "Say, until this hangover of mine goes away… could you take care of me?"

She blushed even redder. "H-Hai…"

:||SePaRaToR||:

Ryoma's hangover completely disappeared that afternoon. And indeed, Sakuno took care of him as he asked. And so, at that moment, Ryoma decided to hang out at the street tennis courts to challenge some loser and defeat whoever that loser is in a matter of time. Momo was there at the street tennis courts too, as usual. But when Ryoma arrived there, his senpai was with Ann Tachibana. And Ryoma was more than happy to find out something that may come in handy whenever he was teasing the poor junior. Momo denied that he was dating Ann though; saying that he was only playing tennis with her. And it also seemed that Momo also got over his hangover from last night.

And so, the three hanged out at the tennis courts until night. They played with the usual guys that were there. Gyokurin guys were still there too. Ryoma was amazed at how the place did not change after three years had gone. The vandalized graffiti were still there and didn't change at all. The whole place was kept clean too.

After three hours of non-stop tennis, Ryoma decided it was time for him to go home. Momo teased him about going home to his 'wife'. He glared at his senpai for that, but inside, he did not mind anyone calling Sakuno his wife. She'll be his wife someday after all, so why not call her with that nickname earlier?

He unlocked the door of the Ryuzaki residence with his borrowed key. He opened the door and uttered a monotonous "Tadaima."

Ryoma's eyes softened. It felt as if he just came back from work, with his wife waiting for him at home. It gave him a sneak peek of their future together.

As he was finished placing his shoes neatly on the shoe rack, Sakuno came up to him. "Welcome home, Ryoma-kun." She said shyly.

Ryoma patted her shoulder and walked passed her, heading towards their room where he would change his clothes. As he got there, he walked towards his duffel bag and rummage inside it, looking for something appropriate to wear. He got his new batch of clothes out and wore them. After he was done changing, he saw Sakuno on the couch watching television. She saw him came out of the room and told him, "A-Anou… d-dinner's ready… I-I'll eat w-with you."

Ryoma answered her with a small 'hn'. He climbed down the stairs and headed towards the dining room. Sakuno turned the television off and walked towards the dining room to join him for dinner.

She watched Ryoma began eating his meal. She was eager to find out if he liked it or not. She stared at him, eagerly waiting for his comment.

Ryoma saw her looking at him. She blushed and quickly looked away. "Oh. Sorry, forgot about that." Ryoma said and leaned forward. He gave Sakuno a quick peck on her cheeks. Sakuno blushed.

"A-Anou… w-why…?"

He looked at her with puzzlement. "Didn't you tell me to always give you a kiss every time you give me a meal?"

Sakuno blushed redder. "Y-Yeah, I said that… b-but to Ryo-chan, not to you…"

Ryoma smirked. "Ryo-chan and I are the same."

She blushed even more, if it was possible.

"Anyway, it's edible enough so don't worry." Ryoma said.

Sakuno looked at his eyes. "E-Edible?"

"That's my way of complementing, stupid girl."

"O-Oh." She leaned her back on the chair's backrest and began eating her food. She unknowingly smiled. This felt like they were married or something. Then she blushed, getting embarrassed about her own thoughts.

After dinner, Ryoma got curious with the DVD Sakuno had inside her player as he explored her living room. He asked her about it and the two watched the anime series called, 'The Son of the King of Tennis'. Ryoma never saw it before so he decided to watch it. After watching some parts of the anime, the two sat still, eyes filled with amazement at the anime they saw.

"W-Wow… that Echigoya Ryosuke guy was something…" Sakuno commented.

"How unrealistic." Ryoma said although he was amazed inside.

Sakuno weakly smiled. "Oh come on Ryoma-kun, I know they were pretty unrealistic… but anime are always unrealistic, although they teach valuable life lessons."

"I think that Echigoya Ryosuke's captain, Teshima Kunimichi, was better than him. He should be the main character." Ryoma said.

"But Echigoya's much cooler!" Sakuno pouted. "The tensai, Fujikage Shunsuke was cool too. The Yellow Pair also has some cool moves. Oichi Shuichi and Kikugawa Eiichi make the perfect doubles pair!"

"Well whatever. I still don't like Hyorei's captain, Adobe Geigo. He reminds me of that Monkey King. The data man, Inao Sadahige, creeps me out too. And that Echigoya's sidekick-slash-best friend, Momotami Takechi, was also a loser. Falling in love with Kudomine's captain's sister, Tachinaba Anna." Ryoma said.

"Oh, I think it's cute! And don't you think Ryusaki Sunako and Echigoya make a cute couple?" She asked expectantly.

Ryoma eyed her. "This anime is about sports, not romance."

"Mou, you're no fun."

Ryoma smirked. "But I do know one couple that looks good together."

Sakuno looked at him. "Who? Don't tell me Osagawa Tomoko and Horri Satoru!"

"No." Ryoma faced her. "I think Echizen Ryoma and Ryuuzaki Sakuno looks good together."

Sakuno blushed.

"Mou, we're talking about 'The Son of the King of Tennis' here!" Sakuno said, although she was a bit flattered by Ryoma's sweetness and it made her heart beat fast.

And this made her remember one guy who was also sweet towards her. She had to tell Kirihara that she and Ryoma were dating now. Before things lead to misunderstandings. She decided to call him tomorrow to meet him personally at a park or something. Then she'll tell him about what happened in their recreational outing.

Ryoma looked at the time. "It's getting late already. I think it's time for a bath."

She stared at her wall clock too. "Oh I see. You go first Ryoma-kun. I don't mind."

Ryoma looked at her with frustrated amber eyes. "Who said anything about anyone going first? We're going together."

Sakuno blinked. "E-E-E-E-E-EH!"

:||SePaRaToR||:

Sakuno was in an awkward position where she just sat on the cold tiled floor of her bathroom, leaning on the glassed sliding door, watching Ryoma stripping in front of her.

Back then, it was the other way around. Ryoma (child version) would nosebleed on a corner as Sakuno relaxes in her bath tub. But Ryoma soon got used to it. He figured Sakuno would too. Although it would take some time because of her shyness.

He began unbuttoning his shirt.

Sakuno wanted to look away but she can't! She can't because she wanted to see more!

She shook her head violently for even thinking about that.

He unzipped his pants and tossed them aside, leaving him on his boxers.

Sakuno could feel her face about to burst because of too much blood rising to her cheeks. She believed her heart's beat was faster than a bullet right about now.

He removed his boxers (giving Sakuno a view of him nude) and dipped himself in the bathtub. Ryoma looked curiously at Sakuno who was still quiet and unmoving. "What's the prob?"

Sakuno pinched her nose. Blood would soon find its way out of them.

Ryoma smirked. He felt kind of triumphant for making Sakuno feel the same way he felt that day when they first took a bath together. He knew he needed to feel guilty, but the feeling just never came out. Ah sweet, wonderful karma.

"I-I-I c-c-c-c-can't t-t-t-take a-a-a-a-a b-b-b-bath w-w-with y-you…" she stuttered. She sounded like she was electrified or something!

And remembering what Sakuno did that day, he decided to imitate her. "Ryuzaki is such a shy girl."

"A-Anou… n-no! I-It's n-not like t-that!" She protested.

Now, this felt like dèjà vu to Ryoma. So he decided to go with the flow. "Then take your clothes off and join onii-chan here."

"B-But!" She blushed thirty shades of crimson.

Ryoma stood up, giving her another full view of him nude. He walked towards Sakuno and removed her clothes himself, despite the latter's protest. He carried her bridal-style and dropped her gently in the tub.

She was trembling and stuttering all the way. She had her back turned to Ryoma. She felt like she was going to faint anytime soon.

Then, Ryoma hugged her, making her feel his chest from her back. "What are you so embarrassed about? I've seen you naked a lot of times."

And then, Sakuno truly did faint.

"Ah. Ryuzaki…?" Ryoma stared at her twirling eyes. He sighed. "Oh well. I've always wanted to sleep naked with you." He smirked.

:||SePaRaToR||:

Sakuno slowly opened her eyes. The sun's light blinded her slightly. She felt some weight on her waist and found Ryoma's leg on top of her stomach. He used her as his human pillow. Not only that, Ryoma's arms were wrapped around her shoulders. He was breathing slowly and had his mouth slightly opened. He always looked so peaceful whenever he was asleep.

She smiled a bit.

But then again, she had no idea what happened last night. She only remembered until the time he forced her to take a bath with him. She removed herself from his tight grip and jumped out of the bed. Only to see herself naked… She blushed and saw him also naked. She blushed even redder. She quickly jumped into her closet and racked out whatever clothe she got her hand on and quickly put them on.

They didn't do that last night… did they?

Sakuno blushed.

"Nothing happened." Ryoma answered her mental questions sleepily. He was still in the same position he left her, the difference was he had his one eye cracked open. He woke up when Sakuno removed herself from his embrace. He silently watched her dressed herself from then on. Then he added, "Nothing will happen until I think we're both in the right age."

Then he got back to sleep.

Sakuno had blushed a million times already since she found out that he and Ryo-chan were one.

She sighed. She felt relieved after he answered her unasked questions. And then, she decided it was time for her to make breakfast.

She went out of their room and down the stairs to the kitchen. It was then when she noticed her landline phone. That's right! She had to call Kirihara to meet him up that afternoon to talk to him about her and Ryoma.

But first, she needed to finish breakfast first.

So she went to the kitchen and began preparing their meal.

Not long after, she finished cooking and already set up the table. "Ryoma-kun, breakfast's ready!" she yelled, enough for the sleeping prince to hear.

Then, she walked towards the landline phone and started dialing some numbers. She listened to the ringing tone on the phone until she heard Kirihara answered it. "Sakuno-chan? That's weird…"

Sakuno was not even given the chance to greet back. "A-Anou… Akaya-kun, what do you mean by weird?"

DING DONG

She looked at the door. "Oh, wait. I've got some visitor. Please hold." She dropped the phone on the table and opened the door for her visitor.

Her brown orbs widened in shock upon seeing Kirihara Akaya standing on her porch, a phone held on his ear. "What I mean about weird is… I'm standing in front of your house and you happened to call at the exact time I'm about to ring the doorbell."

Sakuno stared at him. "A-A-AKAYA-KUN!" She unconsciously yelled.

Kirihara grinned and flipped his phone off. "Yo."

:||NeXtTiMe||:

"Hands off my girlfriend." Ryoma added as he stared at Kirihara with vicious eyes.

Sakuno looked at Kirihara apologetically. "A-Anou, Akaya-kun… t-this is the reason why I wanted to talk you about this later…"

Kirihara turned his look to Sakuno. "This?"

Sakuno fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. She didn't know how to start the story. "Y-You see… Ryoma-kun and I are—"

"Dating." Ryoma finished for her. "For five days already."
