This idea pass over when I was day dreaming xD
I do not own Prince of Tennis!
An Unexpected Situation
"Kumiko, you look sick, you sure you're alright?" Marui asked worriedly to Kumiko whose towel was draped onto the head.
"It's nothing… maybe it's because I slept a little late last night…"
"Maybe you sure take the day off… I'm sure Yukimura will let you."
"No… I can't just leave practice like that…" Kumiko mumbled.
"You're going to collapse if you do that, Kumiko…"
"Marui, you look worried. Something the matter?" Marui looked relieved when he saw Yanagi approaching him.
"Oi, Yanagi… don't you think Kumiko look a bit sick? Don't you think she should just go home and rest?" Marui told the data master as Yanagi looked at Kumiko who shook her head.
"I'm okay, Yanagi-senpai… just need to take a break and I'll be fine." Kumiko said before Yanagi placed his palm onto Kumiko's forehead.
"You're starting to burn a fever, I'll tell Seiichi about this." Yanagi said before Kumiko quickly grab a hold of Yanagi's tennis uniform.
"No… I'm okay, see?" Kumiko said, standing and moving her arms up and down.
"… Kumiko."
"Hey, Kumiko. Shouldn't you be resting now?" the three turned around and saw Kirihara walking towards them.
"What do you mean by that, Akaya?"
"Mean by what? Kumiko's been feeling not well ever since morning, her friend told me she'd fell asleep in her classes and still won't take a break even if the teachers told her to go to the nurse's office."
"And you didn't do anything?"
"I tried! But Kumiko wouldn't really listen to anyone with her like that…" Kirihara said.
"I'm okay! See? I'm perfectly… fine…" Kumiko said before she felt her world swirling and heard Kirihara yelling her name before she closed her eyes.

The Seigaku court was filling with its members as they were rallying towards each other while Tezuka watches with Ryuuzaki beside him.
"They seem to be doing well, aren't they, Tezuka?"
"Yes, sensei." Tezuka then felt something vibrating in his pocket and fished out his cellphone. He didn't recognize the number but felt like he should answer it.
"Hello, this is Tezuka."
"Tezuka." The Seigaku captain quickly recognizes the voice as his sister's captain, Rikkai's Yukimura Seiichi.
"Yukimura." Tezuka didn't seem to remember giving the other captain his number.
"Has Kumiko been feeling not well since this morning?" Tezuka is now suspicious as well as worried. He then walked out from the courts to talk more quietly.
"This morning we had morning practice so I had to leave earlier, is something wrong with her?"
"Maybe it's better if you come here and brought her home… it seemed Kumiko has fainted." Tezuka almost dropped her cellphone before he quickly gripped at as Fuji seemed to notice the captain's sudden panic.
"Is she alright?"
"Yagyuu is watching her now in the nurse office, I don't think she'll appreciate it if I told her to rest, so it'll be better if you could come and get her."
"Right, I'm on my way." Tezuka said as he closed his phone.
"Is something the matter, Tezuka?" Ryuuzaki asked the unusually stiff captain.
"Kumiko fainted, I need to pick her up."
"Kumiko fainted? You should go right away then! I'll ask Ooishi to bring your bag then."
"Excuse me, Ryuuzaki-sensei." Tezuka then bowed and quickly head out from the courts.
"I've never seen Tezuka in a hurry like that ever since Kumiko injured herself…" Fuji said.
"Kumiko fainted, it seemed that it was Yukimura-kun that called him." Fuji's eyes are opened now as he frowned in worry.
"She fainted? How did it happen?"
"I didn't know either, it seemed that Tezuka didn't know either. He'll be bringing her home. Ooishi, can you bring Tezuka's bag with you?"
"Of course, sensei."

"Yukimura." Tezuka had just arrived in Rikkai, with a bit of running and saw the Rikkai's captain leaning against the school gate, seemingly waiting for him.
"Tezuka. Kumiko's this way." Yukimura said as he led Tezuka inside.
"How did this happen?"
"Kumiko was taking a small break, it seemed that Bunta, Renji and Akaya were trying to convince her to go home to rest. And of course, Kumiko didn't listen, she stood up and then she fell. It seemed that she couldn't hold it any longer."
"I… see. Thank you for taking care of Kumiko."
"Of course we would, she is our youngest member." Yukimura said before both captains heard running footsteps and saw Marui and Jackal running towards them.
"Bunta, Jackal, is something wrong?"
"Y-Yukimura, Tezuka… it seemed that… um…" Marui said, looking towards Jackal.
"T-There was something wrong… something really wrong happen, Kumiko…" Yukimura and Tezuka's eyes widened as both of them ran towards the nurses office. When Tezuka and Yukimura walk in, they froze. All the tennis members were staring towards the small girl that was giggling, playing with Yagyuu's glasses.
"Glasses!"
"Miko-yan, you shouldn't put it on, you'll get dizzy." Yagyuu said as he took his glasses from the girl's hand. The little girl to reach towards the glasses with her little hands before Kirihara picked her up.
"Don't do that, Kumiko…" Kirihara said as Kumiko pouted.
"Glasses."
"Your eyes will get bad if you do that…" Kumiko then patted Kirihara's cheeks and touched his hair as she giggled.
"Messy!" Kumiko said as Niou laughed at the embarrassed Kirihara.
"How did this happen exactly?" The members inside the office finally noticed their captain standing with Tezuka.
"Onii-chan!" Kumiko said as she reached out towards Tezuka who picked her up and carried her in his arms.
"I left the office to inform Yanagi-kun about the nurse's absence and when I returned with him, this happened. But it seemed her memories are fine since she could still recognize Tezuka-san… but she could only tell us as familiar figures." Yagyuu explained.
"How old would she be then in this state?" Yanagi asked.
"Around 5…" Tezuka answered as he patted Kumiko's head.
"That's quite a bit of an age difference…" Sanada said.
"She was fond of Genichiro, that's for sure." Yanagi said as Tezuka let little Kumiko walk around the office. Kirihara then followed Kumiko as he was afraid Kumiko might got herself lost.
"Did she happen to feel unwell last night?" the data master asked.
"Not that I know of. She went to bed a little bit earlier than usual." Tezuka answered.
"We still haven't managed to figure out why this happened."
"Did someone spike her drink?" Everyone then stared at Marui who just popped his bubble.
"What? It might happen, it did in movies." Marui said.
"Did she tell you anything before she went to bed?" Yukimura asked.
"… Inui… she told me she met Inui and he treated her for ice cream." Tezuka said as his face darkened, thinking about the possibilities. Yukimura then looked towards Yanagi who was thinking.
"… Sadaharu did say he wants to experiment on something…" Yanagi said as Kumiko suddenly latch herself onto his legs. Yanagi was about to kneel down but Kumiko squealed, running away while giggling from Yanagi.
"I can see she still have her energy." Yukimura chuckles as Kirihara tried to catch the running away Kumiko.
"I have to speak with Inui." Tezuka said.
"I can help you with that, do you want to meet him somewhere, or in Seigaku?"
"In Seigaku, thank you Yanagi."
"I have to speak with Sadaharu about this matter as well."
"Nobody messes with our little Miko, after all." Yukimura said venomously while chuckling.
"I agree." Tezuka said as the Rikkai team members, even Yanagi and Sanada could not imagine what both captains would to do Seigaku's poor poor Inui.
"This is gonna be scary." Marui said to Jackal who nodded.
"Kumiko, come back here!" Kirihara shouted with Niou who joined him in chasing Kumiko.
"All of you are going with us to Seigaku."
"Geh? What for?" Marui said, not wanting to see what would happen to the man.
"This is Kumiko we're talking about, don't you want to know what happened?"
"Of course I want to… but…"
"No buts, that is final." Yukimura said as he glared at Marui who squeaked and hid behind Jackal. They then heard Yanagi closed his phone and looked towards him.
"Sadaharu will wait. He seemed to think that it was only me who wanted to talk to him." Yanagi said as Yukimura nodded.
"Alright then, shall we go? Akaya, Niou, we will go to Seigaku."
"Looks like it'll be bloody." Niou chuckled.
"Kumiko, we're going to Seigaku. You remember Seigaku? It's Tezuka-san's school." Kirihara said to Kumiko who is giggling in his arms.
"Okay!"
"You seem to be enjoying carrying little Miko, Akaya." Niou teased as Kirihara's face went red from embarrassment and anger.
"I'm going to kill you, Niou-senpai…"
"Akaya-kun, language. Kumiko is with you."
"Sorry…"
"Big Niou is bad!" Kumiko suddenly said as Yanagi chuckles.
"Yes he is, Kumiko. Yes he is." Yagyuu said.
"We should go now." Yukimura said as he, Tezuka and the others walked out from the nurse's office while Kirihara carried the giggling Kumiko in his arms.
"Do you mind if I carry her, Tezuka?" Yukimura asked.
"No, not at all." Tezuka said as Yukimura went to Akaya who seemed to be tired and carried Kumiko out from his arms.
"She has more energy than I thought…"
"A small child would have plenty of energy, Akaya-kun." Yagyuu said.
"You have a younger sibling, Yagyuu-senpai… I just don't understand how you can keep up with them…" Akaya sighed.
"It seemed that she's tired as well. She's sleeping." Yukimura said, watching the now sleeping Kumiko in his arms.
"Not fair! She was energetic with me!"
"Maybe she likes playing with you." Niou teased.
"Shut up, Niou-senpai."
"Lower your voices, Kumiko is sleeping." Yanagi said. Sanada then took off his hat and placed it over Kumiko's head.
"Nice idea, Genichirou. At least it'll protect her a little while from the heat." Yanagi said as Kirihara and Marui gaped at the unusual treatment.
"We're here." Tezuka said as they stopped in front of the gate to Seigaku.
"It's time to face the culprit, shall we?" Yukimura said, smiling as Yanagi could only feel pity to his childhood friend.
'Sanadaharu… you're too reckless…'
Now, what will happen to Inui?
