Hye! ! ! I am back with the last chapter of my Valentine fic. Didn't expect to make it until this day. Anyway I hope you like this. ^_^

Sorry... but I am pissed for now... why? I really want to BREAK my pc into PIECES. It is not cooperating with me and I am totally having a bad day. Sorry for not replying to your reviews but tomorrow... I think I am able to reply to your reviews so wait for me. Thank you very much. I have the urge of not using our pc again but if I do that I won't be able to write another fic. sigh...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Prince of Tennis. Capiche?

animecouplelover - thank you very much for liking it and thinking that it was cute... ^_^

mayu - chan - thank you for liking it.

He's not your average type of guy review:

ummm... how do I say this... I am a slight inclined at what you said back then. It's true that all of my fics that they ended up together, I am just a type of writer who loves happy ending. But I am thinking of writing a different one but sure that it will receive a negative review in the future.

Doesn't mean that something happens to Sakuno, Ryoma is always there to save her. Take my Himitsu no kiss for an example or I won't say I'm in love or the Invitation. The saving things happen only on my ongoing fics like Crystal Teardrops and Fantasy Beyond Reality. My other one shot like the one you mentioned and Not Just a Fan only. Sakuno was not always in danger but Ryoma acts jealous when she was around with other guys. Think of the plot carefully and you will understand why I did those fics. as I told you before, I am always thinking a plot twice or even thrice before deciding to write it. Writing a fic is not that easy unless you want it to be useless or nonsense ones... no offense for that. ;p

Well if you have any suggestions where you don't want something happen to Sakuno that Ryoma needs to save her or if you would not want them to end up together just tell me... anything if you want it to be different in a way you prefer and I'll think about it. Thank you very much.

I just told you my thoughts... but I'll do different fics in the future which there will be no saving thing but I will not promise you about them not ending up together. I am thinking of humor though... thank you once again...

johanna - thank you very much... tee hee hee... this is the last one... I hope you enjoy this... last part.

Happy Black Day

"…To the racket stringer?"

"Un."

She heard him clearly. Her two months boyfriend was asking her to go with him to the racket stringer. She also remembered that it was exactly their second monthsary of being a couple, let alone being oblivious that they were a couple a month ago.

It was so stupid of her to think that they were not, that was why Ryoma was pissed about it. Being him, of course he had forgiven her and started going out when they could, minus the annoying senpais around them as he called them that.

Not that they didn't celebrate months of being together but she wanted to do something to him that she wasn't able to do before. So celebrating their two months being together was a nice idea so she thought.

"Are you still there?"

Blinking her eyes twice, she returned from her reverie, "H-hai, o-okay, I'll go with you there."

"I'll see you after an hour." With that the boy ended the call without waiting for her reply.

She was stunned as she tried to register what the boy said to her. Then blush suddenly attacked her there. She stood up and went rampaging in her cabinet;

"M-mou! W-why would he give me an hour to prepare."

After an hour:

Ryoma was standing in front of his girlfriend's porch. He was being opened by the non-other than his coach who was smiling mischievously at him.

"So, you are going on a date?"

He pinned his hat down before bowing down, "Just to the racket stringer."

"Hai, hai," Sumire replied not believing his words entirely. He secretly grunted but he didn't show it, "Come on inside, Sakuno is still preparing so you should wait for her."

"Ojama shimasu." He took off his hat as he walked slowly and entered the house together. Ryoma sat on the couch as he patiently waited for his girlfriend to come out. Not long ago, Sakuno came out and walked down the stairs. He stared at her with her summer pink dress and light pink sandals. She was blushing when their eyes met.

"G-gomen, did you wait long?"

He looked away before replying, "I-ie, I just got here." Geez, why do you have to appear good like that? He mentally scolded himself. It was true after all. Sakuno was cute with the get up that she was wearing. I hope she would forgive him if he would do something unexpected later. Devil smirked.

"Obaa-chan, we're leaving!" She reminded Sumire in the kitchen.

"Be careful and don't go home late!" Sumire peeked and warned them, particularly at Ryoma.

Ryoma feint a cough making the girl giggle. He frowned at her making her giggle more.

"W-well, let's go." She asked him.

"Un."

With that, they quickly left the residence and started walking to their direction. As usual, Ryoma walked ahead of her and she was getting used to it. Ryoma had this habit of walking faster with her catching up from behind. She found the ground interesting to watch, as she continued walking.

How am I going to tell him that we should celebrate today? Ryoma planned to celebrate last month but I was stupid that it was cancelled. I want to make it up to him. I'll tell him after we arrived at the racket stringer. I'll ask him-

Her reverie was cut when she noticed a shadow in front of her. She looked up only to see Ryoma standing in front of her. The boy was looking straight at her before grabbing her hand. Shock registered to her face as he pulled her to walk forward.

"You are not looking in front of you."

"E-eh?!" She blinked her eyes twice.

"You could've hit a post if you continue staring on the ground."

She blushed really hard when he said that. It was true though but she knew that he was just teasing her, "M-mou, you are getting there again."

"Heh," he smirked but he tightened the hold of her hand making her blush more in the process.

Later on:

They reached the racket stringer in no time. They went inside and saw the same old man that they met a year ago. The old man smiled when he saw them enter.

"My, my look what we have here."

Ryoma just bowed in front of him and showed him his grandea dynabeam racket. The old man examined it for a while;

"Hmmm, it is easy to restring this one. This is the old one right?" The old man said as he checked the said racket.

"Hai."

"Well, the price is still the same when it comes to you," he looked at the both of them and smiled, "You can have it back after an hour."

"Ano sa," he started as he pinned his hat down, "I am thinking of retrieving that back tomorrow morning so no need to rush."

"Why?" the old man asked and then looked at the girl behind him. The girl that seemed to be familiar to him was blushing all the time.

Ryoma looked away, "date."

The old man was shocked while Sakuno was blushing as she looked up. The old man was the first one to recover;

"With your girlfriend?" he looked at Sakuno making her blush more.

Ryoma wore a fainted flush taint of his cheek before replying, "hai."

The old man looked at them and smiled at their reaction. He chuckled making them look straight at him, "I knew that you would end up together. You two are perfect for each other."

Sakuno tried to speak this time, "A-ano… O-oji-chan-"

"Domo." With that Ryoma grabbed her hands and pulled her out of the shop. They could hear the old man saying 'take care and enjoy your date' to them. Both of them remained speechless as they continued to walk.

Later on:

They had been walking for a couple of minutes now but they hadn't reached their destination. Curious, Sakuno asked her boyfriend.

"R-ryoma-kun, w-where are we going?"

The boy suddenly stopped with her facing his back, "we're here."

"E-eh? In the park?" she blinked her eyes twice. She looked around wondering why the boy would take her there. There must be a reason but she couldn't know why. She was busy looking around her when a hand suddenly cupped her chin and tilted it up.

In an instant, her lips were landed on his. Her eyes widened contrast to his eyes which were closed. Seriously, the boy had lots of surprises for her. After relaxing and calming, she closed her eyes and slowly responded to his kiss, blush still present on her face.

He released her after that. Satisfied at seeing her blush, he smiled, "Happy second monthsary."

Her blushed became more intense as she stared at him. Later, she found the ground interesting to watch as she fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, "Y-you remembered."

Ryoma frowned and replied to her, "Of course, I did."

"A-actually, I am planning to celebrate this day with you," she peeked at him and then looked down once again, "b-but I don't know how…"

He stared at her and smirked afterwards, "Mada mada dane, Sakuno."

She looked straight at him and retorted, "Mou! Don't make fun of me."

"I am not," he quickly replied as he too quickly grabbed her hand, "come on."

She was being pulled by him, "W-where?"

"To celebrate."

Another moment passed;

They stared wonderingly around them as they walked to a street which was pretty common for joint and restaurant. They looked at each area and notice something.

Everyone was eating the same thing.

There were eating white noodles with black bean sauce. It was weird for them because they seemed to be enjoying themselves. They looked at each other and shrugged afterwards.

They entered a place which was very common for them, at least for him and to Momoshiro. And speaking of the devil, he was there among with the other regulars including the trio, well, except for Tezuka and Fuji which were nowhere to be found. Before he could take Sakuno away from that area, Momoshiro spotted them and called him;

"Oi, Echizen!"

Crap. He secretly cursed himself as he slowly turned to their side.

"Ochibi, Ryuzaki-chan!" Eiji waved his hand and gestured them to come and join them, "come here, there are plenty of rooms here for the two of you."

"Senpai no baka!" Momoshiro retorted to his senpai, "Are you going to join them here and eat these with us?" he said eyeing the noodle with black bean sauce in it.

"You called them here so what do you expect." Kaidoh murmured but Momo heard him.

"Are you complaining, huh, you single viper?" Momo retorted.

"What did you call me, you forever coward singledom!" he retorted back.

The two started bickering while Oishi and Kawamura tried to stop them. Ryoma and Sakuno who were already at their table sweat dropped. Still oblivious about at what they were bickering about. Ryoma faced Inui and asked him;

"Senpai, what's going on?" he started, "and what is with this noodle black bean stuff?"

"It's the white noodle with black bean sauce, Echizen." Inui said scribbling in his notebook.

"Whatever."

"You don't know Echizen," Horio who had just finished eating his bowl interrupted, "according to my three years of tennis experience, the black bean soup if for good luck about having a girlfriend in the future. If you eat this all day…"

"There goes his bragging stuff again." Kachiro and Katsuo both said in unison. Kachiro leaned closer to him and whispered, "don't listen to him, it's not true."

Unfortunately, Horio heard him and hit him on the head, "I heard that Idiot."

"Geez, you don't have to hit me that hard." Kachiro complained rubbing his head.

"Well, Echizen if you are serious about this food that we eat, I'll tell you," Inui said as he pushed his glasses to his nose, "but first you have to know what day today is?"

"T-the day today?" Ryoma and Sakuno asked in unison. The couple looked at each other but looked way when Eiji talked;

"It's black day, Nya."

"Black day?" Ryoma blinked twice, "What is that?"

Inui coughed as he cleared his throat, "Well, compared to Valentines and White day, Black day is a tradition for single people who will get together and eat noodles with black bean sauce."

"Eh?!" Sakuno retorted, "I-I didn't know about that."

"Of course," Momo looked at her, "you are already committed," and then looked at Ryoma, "To Echizen, so there's no need to know this day."

She blushed as Ryoma feint a cough before speaking, "Where are Tezuka-buchou and Fuji-senpai."

Eiji answered his question, "Well, we couldn't contact Tezuka and Fuji said that he has a date to attend to."

"Eh?" Momo reacted, "R-really Fuji-senpai has a date today."

"You should have too, Momo-chii," Eiji looked at him and teased him a little, "don't you have a date with Tachibana's sister today?"

Momo blushed as he completely denied that while Ryoma smirked. Soon Horio was being teased with Sakuno's best friend, which the girl defended her. It seemed that the table was turned to him but not for long, much to his annoyance.

"Well, you don't have to eat this. Ah—let me correct that. You two are not allowed to eat this," Eiji said to the two, "You are not SINGLE anymore, you are DOUBLE, DOUBLE! Nya~"

"Yeah! He's right! Go on and enjoy your date." Momo grinned at them making the two blush.

Ryoma just stared at them while Sakuno tried to stop them from teasing. She was blushing really hard. Staring at his flushed girlfriend, he closed his eyes before making a decision and quickly grabbed his girlfriend's hand. Sakuno was shocked and blushed to the fullest. Reactions in front of them were not different from her;

"Ne,"

They became silent as they waited for his next words making everyone shock.

A smirk formed on his lips as he said his words;

"Happy Black Day To All of You."

Time seemed to stop as he said that to them. No one seemed or dared to move as they looked at the couple. Satisfied, Ryoma bowed in front of them and pulled his girlfriend outside the restaurant.

"What was that all about?" Oishi asked to no one as he was the one who recovered.

"Beats me." Momo only shrugged.

Kawamura suddenly held a racket by accident and came brandishing them seconds later;

"COME ON BABY! LET'S JUST CELEBRATE OUR SINGLEDOM! THAT'S WHAT ECHIZEN TRIED TO TELL US! ! !"

Momo and Oishi tried to stop him. The trio looked at the commotion and sweat dropped;

"You know," Kachiro started, "somehow, I envy Ryoma-kun. He has Ryuzaki-san with him."

"You are right." Katsuo and Horio nodded in confirmation.

Somewhere down the road :P

He was still holding her hand, making her blush in the process. Sakuno couldn't look ahead of her and Ryoma continued pulling her somewhere. On what the boy said in the restaurant was a bit offending but she still found it funny the way he said it. But making remember that couldn't stop her from thinking;

"N-ne, Ryoma-kun… I don't think… you should've said that?"

Ryoma looked at her to his shoulder and asked, "What is it that I should've said?"

She peeked at him this time, "A-about greeting them… because of today?"

"That," he started and then shrugged, "Don't mind them. They are enjoying themselves anyway."

She blinked her eyes twice but she didn't reply to his words. As they walked for a few meters from she didn't know where, the boy stopped to a not-very-secluded area. Her heart beat faster when the boy turned around and faced her. His stare was hypnotizing yet she couldn't look away from them.

She flinched when both of his hands touched her cheek. Blushing in the process, she was able to hold her breath. Her eyes widened when the boy leaned closer to her;

Only to put his forehead to hers and simply commented;

"Happy Non-Black Day to Us."

She blushed even more when he said that. A smile formed on her lips as she giggled a little.

"Hai."

Ryoma leaned back as he stared at her. He was smiling at her at that moment making her smile back at him. But not for long that his smile transferred into a wide smirk. Without giving her chance to ask him, he quickly grabbed her hand once again and pulled her to a store.

"Let's buy chocolates today."

"E-eh?!" Her eyes widened when the boy said that. Looking at the store in front of them, she realized that it was a chocolate shop. Tons of shade of red registered to her face once again as she reacted a little late;

"EEEHHHH! ! !"

Ryoma smirked at her reactions. He liked it anyway. And just like the first two months of their relationship, they always ended their smoochies between chocolates.

And he let her know that she would be receiving a lot… this very black day.

Done! Finally it's done! How was this final chapter? Did you like this? Thank you for reading. Mitsukijunko likes.

Vocab:

Ojama Shimasu – sorry for disturbing. Usually it says when someone enters another house.

Ano sa – mean that you have something delicate to say or figure out how to phrase it.

Black Day – is an informal tradition of Korea so normally Japanese people don't have this kind of day in their country. Actually, April 14 is a day for couples in Japan. Koreans get together on this day and eat noodles with black bean sauce to celebrate their singledom. I sort of have the version of black day in Japan for humor… I hope it did.

Haven't checked this so sorry for the grammar... I just posted it with hassle. So much for the bad day and timing... gomen ne...

Well, there you have it. I hope that you are satisfied with my Valentine fic. And for the last time reviews please… need to hear your thoughts. Domo… ^_^

Arigatou Guzaimasu
