A/N: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS

Again, I wrote this because I really, REALLY need to get away from my homework. Please review!

My name is Echizen Ryoma, and my twin's name is Yuuki. My father is the retired Samurai Nanjiroh. My mother's name is Rinko. She's a beautician, and she loves tennis. My cousin's name is Nanako; she lives with us and does a lot of the housework. I love my family, especially my twin. She's the only one related to me by blood. Yes, the only one. My parents and Nanako are my adopted family. My real parents were murdered a long time ago right in front of my eyes. That scene, the scene of my dead parents, is where I left my voice. My last scream will forever ring in my mind, in that crimson stained memory.

Chapter 1

"Okaa-san! There's a man lying in front of our house!" Ryoma and Yuuki shouted in unison.

"Eh? A man lying in front of our house?" Their mother asked. She looked through the window, and, true enough, there was a man unconscious on the sidewalk outside of their gate. "Oh, Kami-sama!"

"Okaa-san, you shouldn't swear." Ryoma and Yuuki said in unison again. "Would you like us to get Otou-san?"

"Please do so," their mother said. Then, she ran outside to the man lying outside

Ryoma and Yuuki ran upstairs to their father's office while shouting, "Otou-san!"

"Ryoma, Yuuki, what's wrong?" Their father asked.

"There's a man lying in front of our house. Okaa-san went to help him." They said.

"Eh? Really?" Their father began walking downstairs.

"Hai!" The twins followed him.

Once their father saw his wife helping the man outside, he rushed out the door to assist her. Together, they carried him inside. The placed him on the couch in the living room. The twins watched the man to see if he would wake up; the man didn't move. Their father called for an ambulance, just in case. Their mother walked in with a blanket and placed it over the man. Then, their father walked in. The four of them stood together and watched the man.

Suddenly, the man jumped up with a knife in one hand. He slashed at Yuuki's right eye. She cried out in pain. Ryoma instantly pulled her close to him, shielding her from another attack. The man, however, didn't attack them. Instead, he pulled out a gun and shot their parents repeatedly until both of them fell.

Ryoma screamed as tears streamed down his face. He held his sister closer as her own tears mixed with her blood. They moved closer to their parents' bodies. Each step they took stained their feet with blood. They knelt between their dead parents.

Ryoma screamed again and again. His screams echoed throughout the empty house…

"Ryoma! Wake up!" Yuuki shouted. She was shaking her thrashing twin.

Ryoma bolted up into a sitting position. He was panting and sweating hard. He held his head in his hands. He felt Yuuki's arms around him, and he leaned against his twin. He closed his eyes. She said, "You remembered, right?" Yuuki felt him nod. "Come on. We're going to be late."

Ryoma nodded and looked at his twin. She was already dressed. She left her long hair down today; that meant that it wouldn't be windy. She never left her hair down on windy days. It'd be too troublesome, since it almost reached to her elbows. He looked out the window and saw that it was windy. He looked at his twin with a question in his eyes. Yuuki said, "It's going to stop soon. You know I'm never wrong."

Ryoma nodded. Then, he got his uniform and began to walk out of his room. Yuuki said as he left, "I'll be downstairs." She saw him nod slightly. Then, she whispered, "I'm still here." Ryoma paused outside the bathroom door. He shouldn't have been able to hear her, and he hadn't. Or, well, he hadn't heard her with his ears. He had heard her in his mind. No matter how far apart they were, Ryoma always heard his twin. Always.

How did it happen? Why did it happen? Neither of them knew the answers, but they did know it was for the same reason that Yuuki always knew what Ryoma wanted to say. Always.

A/N: I need yours thoughts on this everyone! I just need TWO reviews. If there are at least TWO people out there reading my story, then I figure it's worth writing.
Paring suggestions are appreciated!!

Oh, and in this story, Seigaku is a high school. So, Ryoma and Yuuki are 15, Momo and Kaidou are 16, and the rest of the regulars are 17.
