Linda: First of all I'd like to say that I may have made the characters of PoT out of character, however it is all for the good of the plot. I only own this plot and my OC's which include Kisa and Kyoya Hina. Read & Review!

It all started as I walked into the plane. One of the flight attendants asked me to check if all passengers were on board. I walked around and asked everyone for their name, one row at the time. When I was finished I walked back to the flight attendant who told me to sit in the back. I blinked at her, being confused for a minute before I told her I was going to my own seat. I walked over to find Kisa sitting in my seat asking me if we could talk. She told me something rather strange "This plane is going to crash, you should sit in your own seat." Were the last words I'd ever hear from her, who was once my childhood friend.

"When do you think she'll wake up?" I heard an agitated male voice ask.

"You shouldn't talk to her until she's fully recovered." A female voice told him.

I groan as I turn around, but the feeling of pain stings in my neck.

"Please leave now, we have to examine her." The female nurse told him, to which he turned around in a sigh.

"You okay?" The nurse asks me as she helps me sit up.

"What happened?" I ask her, not remembering much of what had happened. A television told me about a plane crash, wait a second that's the plane I was on! The words echo in my head.

"Wait here, I'll call the doctor." The nurse tells me.

"What happened?" I ask in shock while trying to remember.

"I see you're finally awake. Could you tell me your name?" The doctor asks me.

"My name is Kyoya Hina." I reply.

"How are you feeling?" He asks me.

"I feel terrible." I reply.

"Your friends are waiting outside, do you think you can handle it?" He asks.

"Maybe." I reply honestly.

"I'll call them in doctor." The nurse states.

"See you a bit later." The doctor smiles.

"Hina-chan, you look pale." Momo states.

"I suppose, why're you all here anyway?" I ask them.

"We wanted to see how you're doing." Fuji replies with a gentle smile.

"I've never seen Eiji this calm and silent." I state.

"How're you feeling?" Oishi asks me.

"Like my head got hit by a train." I state as I start to identify the feeling of having a headache.

"Do you guys know if there were any other survivors?" I ask hopefully.

"No, you're the only one."

"Oi, Echizen." Momo hits him on the head as punishment.

"What?" I ask softly.

"There were no other survivors, it was a miracle that you came out alive." Kawamura says with a sad face.

"No way." I mutter as my face turns even paler then it was.

"Hina." Fuji whispers.

"Yes." I ask faintly as I look at him.

"You have us, you'll be fine." Fuji whispers in my ear.

"We'll come back tomorrow." Tezuka announces, to which I nod slowly as a reply.

"Rest up, Hina-chan." All of them state before walking out.

Two days later

"I'm glad you're out of the hospital." Fuji smiles.

"Thanks for coming over, it really made me happy." I state as I look at the sky.

"What are you going to do now?" Eiji demands to know.

"Well, I need to find a place to stay and a school to attend." I reply, summing it up.

"We'll help you." Tezuka states calmly.

"Thanks guys, I'm glad you are my friends." I smile, but the sadness still shows through.

"How about we ask our parents first." Momoshiro states.

"Good idea, Inui would you check the best route to walk?" Oishi claims.

"According to my data it would be best to walk this route." Inui shows the guys the route he had drawn and the names of the regulars that lived there, but I decide to stare at the sky. The blue sky which shows no signs of clouds whatsoever, but I still feel sad.

"Let's go!" Eiji jumps up and down in order to try to lighten up the mood.

"So she can either stay with Fuji-senpai, captain Tezuka or Echizen." Momo sums it up.

"So, what do you want Hi-na-cha-n." Eiji stretches his sentence which makes me look at him.

"Huh? Oh, well." I sigh and not just a short one.

"Shusuke, Kunimitsu or Chibi, right?" I ask to be sure.

"Yeah, so… Which will it be?" Eiji asks while grabbing Echizen in one of his hugs.

"Can't. Breath. Senpai." Echizen tries to escape Eiji's hug.

"Ah, gomen, gomen." Eiji apologizes and I start to giggle. At the same time Shusuke shows a gentle smile.

"I don't know, I just want somewhere quiet. Maybe I should stay with Tezuka, at least for the time being." I finally answer Eiji's question.

"Hey look, it's the bitch from the plane crash!" Some girl shouts and she and her friends start laughing.

"I bet she even forgot how to play tennis." Friend 1 laughs at her own comment.

"Why not play me then?" I snap at her.

"Here." I catch the racket Ryoma throws at me.

"Thanks." I reply as I head to the street court.

"You'll lose anyway." Friend 1 states.

"No way in hell I will." I reply calmly.

"Why don't you serve first, loser." Friend 1 replies.

I hit the ball into a Kick Serve.

"You were just lucky." Friend 1 brags.

"Game and match Kyoya Hina six games to one." Momo shouts. He was the referee of this match.

"You were just lucky." Friend 1 exclaims.

"No, I was going easy on you." I explain calmly.

"You jerk!" She yells at me as she hits me on my left cheek with her racket.

"Leave." I glare at her as she decides to hit my left arm with her racket.

"Don't even think about it." I state as I grab the racket in midair.

"Let's go, she's not worth it." The leader states as she and friend 2 walk away.

"You okay?" Shusuke asks me.

"Yeah, nothing to worry about." I reply calmly.

"Let's go eat at Kawamura's!" Eiji decides.

"Let's." I smile at him while Shusuke wraps an arm around me.

"Allow me to escort you." Shusuke smiles.

"By all means, please do." I decide.

"You never told me she played tennis." Ryoma shakes his head as he corrects his cap again.

"You never asked." Tezuka states calmly as we head to Kawamura's sushi shop.

"You sure showed her." Momo and Eiji state in sync.

"She wasn't that tough." I wave at their comment.

"So, what did you do in the US?" Fuji asks.

"I visited my grandparents there and analyzed some players. I wanted to learn some new techniques while I was there, but I ended up spending most time with my grandparents." I reply.

"Why not stay with them?" Oishi asks.

"I'd rather live in Japan, so that would be impossible." I reply.

"Let's eat!" Momo shouts as he runs to a table.

"Thanks for stopping by so often and thanks for helping me out." I state.

"No problem, all we want is to help you get back on your feet." Shusuke whispers in my ear.

What the? Why am I blushing?

"Hina-chan, you okay?" Shusuke asks in a soft voice.

"I- I'm f-f-fine." I stutter while still blushing.

"Here, take a seat." Shusuke guides me to the seat.

"Would you mind going to Seigaku?" Kunimitsu asks me.

"No, I'd love to go there. Just don't expect me to decide on a club." I reply.

"The great Hina-chan isn't going to play tennis?" Shusuke teases me.

"Not yet." I reply in a soft voice.

"Don't worry, just take it easy and ask if you need anything." Kunimitsu replies.

"I bet I could eat more than you." Momo claims.

"Fsssh , idiot." Kaoru states.

"What did you say Viper!" Momo shouts as I start laughing.

"They haven't changed at all." I state while still smiling.

"At least one of us enjoys it." Oishi states as he stands up to get the two to stop.

"Hey guys, better knock it off." I smile at Momo and Kaoru while Oishi is still trying to separate them.

"Sure." They mumble.

"Why ruin the fun?" Shusuke asks me.

"Wouldn't it be hard for Oishi? I thought I'd help him out, just this once." I explain to him.

"At least you're smiling again." Shusuke smiles at me.

"Let's go home." Kunimitsu grabs my hand gently as he helps me up.

"See you guys!" I smile before walking away with Kunimitsu.

"We could use a manager, it can be pretty hectic though. I thought that maybe you could use that time to keep busy and get on your feet again." Kunimitsu tells me as we walk.

"It would be good to keep busy, are you sure you want me?" I ask as I look behind me.

"Darn, she found out!" Momo shouts as I giggle.

"Now Kumi-kun has found out too." I smile.

"We could really use your help, nya." Eiji states.

"Hai, hai. I guess I'll do it then." I state.

"Yay!" Eiji shouts as he jumps up and down.

The next morning

"Hey Kumi-kun, so what's today's schedule?" I ask him as I quickly eat up my breakfast.

"You're quick, we start with laps to warm up and after that Inui will take over with his training schedule." Kunimitsu explains.

"Yeah, I hate taking too long to get ready. So laps first, do I need to prepare something for you?" I ask.

"No, all is being taken care of. You only need to make sure to remember the weak points of each player to make sure the players can train them." Kunimitsu states.

"Let's go then!" I smile at him as he stands up.

At school; the first practice

Tezuka gave us laps and so we're all running, if we don't finish the final lap we have to drink some of Inui's juice. Unfortunately we have to finish the last lap within a minute, so I run as fast as I can.

Inui stands before me with a glass of juice.

"Great." I state as I bring the drink to my lips.

"Not too bad, tastes good." I state as I give Inui the glass.

"What?" I ask as most of the regulars look terrified at me.

"Next up are practice matches, get yourself a partner. If you lose you'll have to drink my juice, but if the server doesn't take a point after hitting the ball five times he loses automatically." Inui states with an evil grin.

Lunch

I walk up the stairs towards the rooftop of the building.

It all happened so suddenly, there was this explosion that threw the door to the cockpit across the path all the way to the back. My parents held me tight as I bowed down with tears in my eyes after I recognized Kisa's squashed figure behind the door. 'No way, this can't be.' Those words kept echoing through my head as I heard another explosion, my parents must've held me so close that they formed some sort of shield to protect me.

"Kyoya?" I hear a cold voice try to snap me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I ask as I look up at Echizen and the others.

"Did something happen?" Oishi asks worried.

"Just remembered something." I try to smile.

"Was it about the crash?" Momo asks.

"Fsssh, idiot." Kaido states.

"What was that!" Momo yells.

"Quit it guys, yeah about the crash. So what?" I almost scream in anger.

"Hina-chan, calm down." Oishi tries to calm me.

"No way!" I yell as the tears well up inside of me, so I run as fast as I can to get as far as I can.

I finally find myself in the music room, where I grab one of the guitars and start playing a sad tune. Then all of a sudden the door opens, but I don't hear it since I'm too focused on playing and singing.

"So this is where you went." I hear a gentle voice say as soon as I fall silent.

"Oishi-senpai?" I ask.

"Don't worry, I won't tell. But you really need to go back to class." He smiles at me.

"Oh joy." I state sarcastically as I put the guitar back and head towards class.

Weekend!

"Hina-chan, time to wake up." I hear a voice call to me softly before I open my eyes.

"Tezu-nii?" I ask as I open my eyes.

"Come on, after practice we're going to this place. I really hope you want to join us." Tezuka replies.

"What kind of place?" I ask out of curiosity, but I also have this feeling. A feeling that something will either change or go wrong.

"That's a surprise." Tezuka answers as I get up and walk to the shower with my clothes and other necessities. As soon as I'm done I run down the stairs in my tennis outfit. I grab a piece of bread and run to the door, where Tezuka stands putting on his shoes.

"Let's go." He really wants me to just hurry up, so I run after him after putting on my shoes.

"You're late, nya!" Eiji states and starts running towards me to give me a hug.

"Can't. Breathe." I call as Eiji finally lets go of me.

"Let's sit down, Hina-chan." Fuji guides me towards one of the benches near the court.

"Fuji, you should practice." Tezuka states.

"And let you miss out on the fun?" He smiles gently.

"Go out on the court." Tezuka tells him.

"Why don't the two of you stay here?" I tell them as I head towards the court.

"Looks like she's feeling better, if only right now." Fuji states as he follows me with his eyes, though closed as always.

"I just hope it lasts." Tezuka replies.

"Eh? Sushi?" I question as Shusuke just asked me to come with the others.

"It'll be fun." Eiji exclaims as he jumps happily.

"Well, I guess so. Let's go then." I reply as Shusuke gently holds my hand while Tezuka and Oishi lead the way to Kawamura's. We all walk slowly, but for some reason Momo and Echizen are walking behind Shusuke and me.

"You look like you enjoyed playing tennis today." Shusuke states as he looks at me from the corner of his eyes.

"You guys provide me with a great workout and I get to play against different players, it's actually fun. And thanks for always being there for me Shusuke." I whisper the last sentence as a small blush comes to my face.
