February 2o

.

.

That was the date that marked the calendars. A little more than a week left in February before the month will be over and March will be upon them, but to a certain group of people it was a lot more important than just a date or just another day in the year. They had decided that it wasn't really fair that their friend only got to celebrate his birthday every four years, so they had taken it upon themselves to throw a party for him, in four days time, the last day of February but before March hit because than it would be a day late.

Eiji bounced around in excitement before glomping his ochibi-chan, much to the younger boy's annoyance as he shot a glare towards the red head but decided to ignore the red head for now besides it got to out of hand, he can always count on Oishi-senpai to pry his hyperactive lover off of him.

"So let's go through this one last time, after all we wan this to be a special day for Fuji, ne?"

Eiji bobbed his head up and down, reminding Ryoma of a bobble head, "Hoi! Hoi! Of course we do, nya, Oishi. Fujiko-chan deserves a great birthday after all he is going to be sixteen." Eiji exclaimed tightening his grip around Ryoma, unconsciously causing the fourteen year old to gasp.

"Eiji!" yelled Oishi, which was echoed by 'Eiji-senpai' and 'Kikumaru', as the group ran towards the red head who was nearly suffocating their youngest friend. "Let go of Ryoma-kun, your chocking him."

"Hoi!" called Eiji as he turned towards his partner in confusion "Nya, what do you mean, Oishi?"

Tezuka reached the two first and pried the acrobatic player off of the smaller boy, "Echizen, are you okay?" he questioned to the wheezing boy in his arm, who just nodded his head while still trying to get air back into his deprived lungs.

"Eiji, you have to be more careful when you hug Ryoma-kun, his a lot smaller than you." Oishi lightly reprimanded his partner who bowed his head, looking like a helpless kitten.

Ryoma lightly reached over and patted his cat-like senpai's leg, successfully gaining his, and everyone else', attention. "It's alright Eiji-senpai" he whispered "I know you don't mean to hold me so tight."

"Nya, ochibi-chan!" Whispered Eiji and despite the boy being held within their stoic buchou's arms, the hyperactive redhead leaped upon the smaller boy and hugged him. He couldn't help it, his ochibi-chan was just so adorable. It was hard not to hug someone like him.

"Kikumaru, if you don't let go, you'll be running laps around the building until I tell you to stop" Tezuka deadpanned, eyebrow twitching as he found himself sprawled out on the floor, with Ryoma lying on him and Kikumaru on the top of both of them, once again hugging the small boy.

"Nya" Eiji pouted and slowly removed himself from on top of Ryoma who grunted. Taka smiled and helped the smaller boy up while Kaidoh hissed, Momoshiro snickered, Oishi sighed and was scolding Eiji while Inui was scribbling in his notebook.

"Are you okay, Echizen?" asked Takashi while rubbing the back of his head.

Ryoma nodded his head, "Domo" he whispered turning towards the captain who was pulling himself up, "How about you buchou? Are you alright?" he questioned.

"Aa" Tezuka gave a light nod of his head.

Fuji Syusuke sighed and stared out the window.

He resisted the urge to scream or cry, which ever one came first. It was nearing the end of February which meant another year where he wouldn't be able to celebrate his birthday with his friends. When he was younger he was always envious of the other kids, though he hid it well behind his closed eyes and gentle smiles. As he grew older he realized the benefits of having a birthday every four years, he got better gifts to make up for the years, but still it would be nice if he someone would tell wish him a happy birthday even though it wasn't really the day of his birth.

Shaking his head, Fuji made his way towards his bed and fell upon the mattress and closed his eyes. Oh well, there was nothing he could do about it, was there.

~..~

The group stayed late into the evening discussing plans and who will bring what and how they were going to throw their tensai a birthday party without him finding out about it. Because let's face it, nothing gets passed Fuji. He will know the group will be keeping something from him and demand to know what it is. Or blackmail them into telling him what they were hiding from him.

Well past dinner time, the group decided they will continue talking about this tomorrow and started leaving Kawamura's sushi. Tezuka and Oishi heading in one direction, Kaidoh and Inui going in another while Eiji, Ryoma and Momo walked in the same direction.

"This is going to be fun. We never really got to throw Fujiko-chan a birthday party before. I bet he'll be surprise."

Momoshiro grinned and nodded his head, "I can't wait to see his face when he sees what we did, I can't."

Ryoma tugged at his cap and grunted when he felt two pairs of arms wrap them-selves around his shoulder. "Get off" he grunted.

"Ochibi-chan" whined the red head

Momoshiro ruffled his head, "Don't be such an un-cute brat, Echizen."

Ryoma sighed and decided to deal with his annoying, immature senpai's.

The first house they stopped at was Eiji's and before leaving he gave his ochibi-chan a extra tight hug before waving to Momoshiro and telling both of goodnight, and that he will see them tomorrow, which were echoed by the two younger boy.

Momoshiro glanced at the small boy beside him. Echizen Ryoma was like a kid brother to him, he knew his house was coming up next, but he didn't want the younger boy to walk home alone, especially since the boys effeminate beauty could and would draw unwanted attention. It was almost as bad as their senpai's Eiji and Fuji but the latter two could protect themselves. He wasn't to sure if Ryoma could as well. He was after all really small for his age and anyone could take advantage of that.

"Momo-senpai, we reached your house. I'll see you tomorrow in school." Ryoma's voice cut through the rascals thoughts.

"EH?" Momo glanced at the building they were standing in front of, before blushing in embarrassment, a sheepish smile on his lips.

Ryoma smirked, "Che. Mada mada dane, Momo-senpai" he whispered tugging at his cap. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Oi, Echizen, do you want me to walk you home?"

Ryoma turned and looked over his shoulder, "I am not a girl Momo-senpai, I don't need you to walk me home."

Momoshiro smiled and waved off the glare that the younger was giving him. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow than. Don't forget to be up early, buchou wants everyone there before Fuji-senpai arrives so we can finish discussing plans about the surprise party.

Ryoma nodded his head, "Keh" he responded tossing a hand in the air in a careless wave, causing Momoshiro to smile and shake his head.

Tightening the hold he had on his bag, bright golden-green eyes glanced towards the alley he was passing when a bang was heard. Not wanting to stick around in case something other than a-cat-knocking-over-a-trashcan- was inside the small darkened space.

The hailed 'prince of tennis' calmly, albeit shakily, reached over towards his tennis bag side pocket and after undoing the zipper, slipped his hands inside and started searching for his phone.

Grabbing his phone, he flipped it open and looked at the time and shook his head, seeing the number '6:49' flashing across the screen. He needed to get home, his father tended to over worry when he was out past sun down, really his father may seem lazy and uncaring but he knew better than that. The old man was worse than any mother.

Spotting the temple a few feet away, Ryoma was about to pick up his pace when he felt rushed footsteps before a hand wrapped itself around his waist.

Dropping his bag in surprise, the small boy struggled to get away. Bringing his elbow back, Ryoma smashed it into his attackers gut, momentarily stunning the man and causing him to release the hold he held on the 'prince'.

Pulling away, Ryoma took off in a run, but didn't get to far when he heard the foot steps behind him. Hearing the rush of winds in his ear, he knew the man had moved his arms to hit him. Ducking beneath the hand, he felt his cap being knocked off his head. His attackers other hand shot forward and grabbed the back of his jacket and yanked him backwards.

Twisting in the man's arms, Ryoma thrust his left leg into the older males shin and quickly stripped of the jacket, while taking off again. An annoyed sounding growl was heard before he felt a hard blow land in the back of his head.

The last thing he remembered before every-thing went dark was a foul smelling breath on his face and a voice in his ears telling him that he would pay for being such a troublesome brat.
