Authors Note: Thank you. Thank you. I know I'm still 'mada mada' but your positive reviews kept me going. So here goes the fourth chapter. Oh and 'thoughts of Ryoma' are like this. So enjoy :D
Disclaimer: I do not own POT, but I wish I do. Thank you, and please review :D
"Ryoma-Kun!"
'Now, I see Ryuzaki Sakuno, yes the one and only, walking towards me and she is crying. Why? What happened? She's now getting nearer. I don't know what to do. I feel that my head gonna explode! My heart is thumping like crazy. I see her innocent and pretty face inching towards mine. I was about to say something and ask her why she is crying, but then….'
"Ryuzaki, wha-mmmm"
'Then and there, I've felt the most wonderful feeling, even better than winning a tennis match. Even better than everything I've ever imagined. Not that I've imagined it though. Ryuzaki Sakuno is kissing me with her soft, sweet lips.'
'How did this happen? I thought you were going to ask me that. Well, it was of course set up by my senpais, who I might say did an amazing job ….. this time….. just this time.'
Flashback
"Ryoma-kun, is everything okay?"
"hnnnn…"
"Sakuno-chan, why don't we prepare the snacks for the whole team while they are all practicing?"
'What?! Fuji-senpai with Ryuzaki… I suddenly feel uneasiness in my chest'
*ehem* " Okay, team, 50 laps around the house except Fuji, Sakuno, …. And Ryoma."
"What? Me? Why should I? "
"Saaa… you should help us working in your own kitchen right? Why don't you just guide us first on where the stuffs and foods are, then you can go practice, ne?"
'Me, with Ryuzaki and senpai? I guess it wouldn't be so bad'
"I guess I don't really have a choice, don't I?
'Wait… wha… why is Ryuzaki red eh? Hmmm… whatever'
When Ryoma was done with what he's supposed to do, with the guiding and helping and stuffs, he left them and joined the practice. When he went out, he saw them already having practice matches.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen….
"Sakuno-chan, I think I have a great idea for the snack we can cook today!"
"Sugoi senpai! What is it?"
"I brought a recipe book earlier, but then I left it Ryoma's room. Could you go get it for me, hmm Sakuno-chan? It's on the table, you can easily spot it. "
"Okay Fuji-senpai! I'm gonna go get it now! "
….
"Hmmm, where is it… oh there it is! Oh wait, what is this letter and why is it addressed to me?"
"hmmm…hmmm… Wha.. how… Ryo..Ryoma-kun….."
You can see the tears flowing through her face, not of sadness, but of happiness and love. You can guess what that letter is, right?
"Oh, Sakuno-chan! Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Yes, Fuji-senpai. I indeed have. I know this may be rude of me, but will you just please go on cooking without me. I'm really sorry senpai… I…"
"I know Sakuno-chan… Go to him."
"Arigatou Senpai!"
End of Flashback
And now, back to the fact that Ryuzaki is kissing me…. It was all perfect. It was…
"Ryo… Ryoma-kun, of course you a…are very special to me. Don't you think I will spend all that time making you bentos and cheering on your every tennis match for nothing? I… I stopped talking to you because I thought I was just a nuisance to you. You were always saying I'm 'mada mada'. I don't know whether you like me or not. "
"Ryu..ryuzaki…you….you read my letter?."
"Ha….Hai! I read it! You keep teasing my hair is too long. All I hear from you is 'hnn', 'unn'. How do you think I'm supposed to react to that! Baka! Baka! I love you! I love you! I really do!"
"Whoa.. Ryu… Sakuno… Is this true?"
"It also broke my heart when we stopped talking, when you walked away. Every moment that we may be together, I come running to you. I've always wanted to say… I.. I missed you. But… you… you…" *sob sob*
"Sakuno, it hurts me when you cry. I guess it is indeed the time to say this properly. Here goes…. Ryuzaki Sakuno, the clumsiest, most directionally challenged yet the sweetest, most adorable girl I have ever met. The most beautiful girl I have, and will only set my eyes upon for the rest of my life. I truly, undeniably, and whole-heartedly love you. I love you. I love you. I love you more than anything. "
"Even more than tennis?"
"Definitely. Now Sakuno, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Ye…Yes Ryoma-kun"
And to that, they once again shared a beautiful kiss, finally as a couple.
"Ah, young love young love!"
"Congratulations, Sakuno-chan and Ochibi! Nyaaaa!"
"YEAAA! BURNING!"
"Hurray for the new couple!"
"Saaaa…. Well I guess it was never a bad thing that we read your diary, ne Ryoma?"
"I guess it was not after all. Arigatou senpais!" *bows*
"A.. arigatou senpais.."
*ehem* " I guess we'll leave you two for now eh?"
"I love you, Ryoma-kun."
"I love you, Sakuno"
Sooooo…. Guys, what do you think? Now we have a lovey-dovey couple here. Tee hee hee…. Next up, I'm thinking of writing an epilogue for the story. But for now, please review the 4th chappie :) Reviews are greatly appreciated :D
