A/N: I'm avoiding my other fic and did this during finals week. I still should be studying now. Meh.

Return Redux:

Chapter 1 : The Beginning

"Did you hear? That first year, Tetsuo scored 28th on the national mock exam!"

"That's amazing! What does he look like?

Tsutsui cringes in his seat. Invariably, students would point to him, thinking that he was Kaga, but he wasn't. No matter how much he studied, whether it was go or textbooks, he could never catch up to Kaga. To him it was a joke to take the mock exam. Still he studied, hours and hours, days upon days. But even with the amount of studying he put in, he scored only 48th on the same mock national exam .If it were any other school, or even if it were any other school without Kaga, it would be a great achievement for him. Unfortunately, the teacher Kaga made a deal with, had him take his exam. Who took the national mock exam in exchange for three months detention? Only Kaga that's who.

"Is that him? Is that Tetsuo-san? He sits in the back right? I mean he fits what national mock exam scorer would look like, with those thick glasses and looking at a textbook even now."

"Kimihiro-san, Takayama sensei wants to have a word with you," a boy yells into the classroom.

"Coming," Tsutsui replies weakly and gets out of his seat to follow the student.

"What, not him after all. What a loser..."

Tsutsui cringes at the insult and slumps even lower in an attempt to sink into the floor in the few steps before the door.

"Kimihiro-san, congratulations on scoring 48th on the national mock exam. It's one of the highest the school's had since its founding! Certainly, Tetsuo-san did scored higher than you, but with his wild ways, I doubt we could ever him to actually sit down to take another test. Our school's hopes rest with you, Tsutsui, in ways more than one. I heard you and Tetsuo-san to be friends"

"We, um, grew up together, but I wouldn't call us …friends." Tsutsui drifts off saying as Takayama sensei gets distracted by the visage of the red haired Kaga walking toward the soccer fields.

"Hey, weren't you just about to die of a stomachache in my class! Aren't you supposed to be in the infirmary?" Takayama sensei looks like she's about to die of an apoplexy.

"Oh, I just need some exercise, I'm off to the soccer club! Sayonara Sensei!"

"Wait, just you come back here! ARGH! I just don't know how to deal with him!"

One of the other teachers interjects, "I heard he smokes and drives a motorcycle to school as well."

"What, he should be expelled then! Our school shouldn't tolerate delinquents!"

"Kaga's not bad at heart, and he's smart, scoring 28th on the national mock exam. He's also aiming for the World Cup and afterwards becoming a shogi pro. He wouldn't endanger his or anyone's left before then." Tsutusi felt compelled to explain as he had for the other 16 years of his life for Kaga. It was why Takayama sensei really dragged him in to talk to him. Might as well nip it in the bud.

"I knew it! Tsutsui, you are our hope!"

No, it really was hopeless.

"What's up genius?" Kaga says as he sees Tsutsui standing there in the sun, just staring at him. "I just finished telling another teacher that I would "reform" you." He wasn't about to repeat all the nice things he said about Kaga, the other boy would never let him live it down.

"Hah! Good one, Tsutsui. That'll never happen."

"You really shouldn't ride your bike to school regardless, or ditch class."

"Hey, at least I finally got a license for the motorcycle like you keep bugging me to do."

Tsutsui was taken back for a minute. Kaga actually listened to him for once?

"Want a ride?" Kaga offered a second helmet to him.

Wait, Kaga was being nice for once? That had to be some trick to it. But if he did accept Kaga offer, he actually would be in time for cram school.

"O-kay. But don't go too fast!"

Kaga answered him while putting on his own helmet. "Oh, and why would I ever do that…"

Tsutsui got on the motorcycle and hugged Kaga tightly.

"Hey, loosen up will ya? I mean, I don't like anyone but girls getting that close"

He was going to regret this, Tsutsui just knew it.

"KAGA SLOW DOWN!" Tsutsui was in a panic. At first Kaga seemed to have heed his wishes and driven slower, at least Kaga's definition of slow. But once they gotten on the strip of highway on the mountain, Kaga had revved the engine.

"I can't hear you….." Kaga said in a sing song voice that was lost in the strong winds that was blowing against Tsutsui face.

"SLOW DOWN!"

Kaga only response this time was to rev the engine and went faster.

Tsutsui had no choice but to hug Kaga even tighter.

Kaga felt the choking grip and thought maybe he should slow down. "Ease up Tsutsui, remember you're not a girl!" The grip loosened and Kaga felt satisfied. However in that spilt second of thought, his bike skidded a little on the road, propelling them forward toward the incoming lane. The lights of big truck were there and it would almost be too late …..

"Shit! Tsutsui, hang on…."

Kaga tried to control his bike, and it seemed like they would barely make it but to his horror, Tsutsui fell off his bike and in slow motion, Kaga watched the gentle green haired boy he known all his life rolling toward the incoming tires of a 16 wheeler.

That was all Kaga saw before he blacked out.

TsutsuiTsutsui… Tsutsui..

Someone was calling him, probably his mom. He better wake up then…..

Tsutsui opened his girl slowly, and in his drowsy state , he began to get out of bed. When he couldn't, he remembered. The accident.

A cute girl looked at him from the mirror.

She's cute… wonder what she's in for.

Tsutsui looks behind him. No one was there.

Tsutsui then began to lean closer to the mirror, and the girl leaned closer as well.

Tsutsui waves his hands, and the girl does as well.

A sickening feel was upon him.

He looked down, and through the paper thin hospital gown he could see breasts.

God had finally played the ultimate trick on him.

He finally was the weakling girl that Kaga always called him.

A/n: This had much more impact in the manga, oh well. I thought of this idea when I was not supposed(read: during finals week and not studying still). There's not enough Kaga and Tsutsui stories out there but unfortunately I know my rendering of them seems rather bland. Hopefully it'll get better. What did you think? For those who read Return, it should play out pretty much the same. I know I'm kinda stealing ideas… but I really wanted to see Kaga suffer. C/C appreciated!
