-The National Tournament-

It was the final point of the national tournament. Until those long awaited words rang through out the stadium.

"Match, Echizen."

That's when everything changed for the Seigaku Regulars. Only they did not know it yet, nor did they know that their youngest member was changing right under their very noses. Everyone rushed out onto the court pulling their youngest into their celebrating group. He just shook them off and went over to the stoic captain who was still on the sidelines.

"Buchou."

"Well done, Echizen."

-Kawamura Sushi-

Everyone was there eating there fill in sushi, all of them happy and excited. Momo eating everthing in sight. Kaidoh complaining about Momo's eating habits. Inui was sitting in the corner taking new data on the regulars. Tezuka was of course sitting stoically eating his sushi. Fuji was looking around and quietly laughing at all of the regulars. Kikumaru was looking around at the quickly disappearing food and trying to get some for himself. Kawamura was making the sushi. Oishi trying to calm everyone down. And Echizen was interacting with the group much like he normally would. Only it wasn't fake not at all as to what he was thinking inside his head.

Though no one appeared to notice Echizen's behavior two pairs of eyes were on him.

"Tezuka, have you noticed how our baby is not acting like himself tonight?" Fuji asked as he came over and sat by the captain.

"Aa"

"Saa. . . it does seem like he is worried about something. Don't you think?"

"We shouldn't let our guard down. Especially with Echizen."

"Saa. . . I think we need to find out what is going on, don't you, Tezuka?"

"Aa"

As the party was winding down Echizen got up and left with no one taking any notice of the young player. Except once again the two pairs of eyes that watched him go.

Fuji stood catching everyones attention "Well I had better go see you all tomorrow. Tezuka, walk with me."

Tezuka nodded and followed the tensai outside and turned to follow Echizen who they could see a few blocks down.

-The Street-

Echizen had already walked down the street several blocks. After a few minutes his cellphone rang. When he saw the caller id he frowned.

The two that were following him slowly walked closer and kept in darkness to hear what he said.

"The agreement has been followed through to the end now you must hold up your end of the bargain."

"Agreement I don't remember making any agreement with a traitorus rebel."

"Don't play with me I know and you know what agreement I am talking about and we both know that I am no traitor or rebel."

"Well you fight against your own country and if thats not a traitor I don't know what is."

"Shut up Nisshin Maru Captain."

"See you on the waters."

"I'll see you there."

After Echizen had that conversation with the Nisshin Maru Captain he called Paul Watson the second in command of HER ship.

"Hello"

"Hey Paul it's Ryoma I followed through with the arrangement but the japanese are claiming that they never made an agreement with us."

"Shit, so what are we going to do captain?"

"We do what we do best keep them whaling. When can you be in the Abashiri port?"

"If we keep at the pace we are now then tomorrow morning."

"Ok pick me up at the Abashiri port tomorrow morning and tell the crew that their captain is back."

"Yes captain right away."

Then after that conversation Fuji and Tezuka couldn't believe what they heard and approached Echizen.

"Echizen what was all of that about?" Tezuka questioned.

"Oh shit how much did you hear?"

"We got to where you just answered the phone and you were talking to this captain about some sort of an agreement." replied Fuji.

"Oh well then you should know. I am the captain of the Steve Irwin one of the many ships in a fleet called the sea shepherds who try to stop the japanese from whaling illegally when they are saying that they are doing it for research when they are selling the valuable parts of the whales to make money. I am leaving tomorrow morning to go back to my crew and lead them once again to victory in stoping the japanese. Also I'm a girl."

The guys just stared at her like she was going to melt.

'Did I break them with all of that information?' Ryoma thought.

With that she turned and walked home.

-Ryoma's House-

While Ryoma was packing her father walked into her room.

"Ryoma are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to go back." her father said.

"Oyaji I am one hundred percent positive that I want and have to do this it is what I think is right and it needs to be done." she replied.

"Ok if thats what you think is right and what you want to do go for it but be safe out there."

"I will Oyaji and thank you."

That next morning she was getting on the Steve Irwin to catch up with the Nisshin Maru on their way to antartica.
