THE PERFECT PLAN
It was a warm balmy summer's day and a seven-year-old Ryoma came into view. He was chasing after a girl, a year older than he.
'Oi, Onee-chan! Chotto Matte Kudasai!'
The girl turned towards him revealing features similar to Ryoma's except for the hair which is brown and the eyes which are sea-green in color. She began to run backwards while holding a brand new raquet.
'Ei! Ryo no baka, couldn't you run a little bit faster?'
She chirped while grinning at Ryoma's almost haggard state. The younger child tried to speed up but...
PLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryoma tripped on a loose rock landing face-first to the ground. He sat up and began to cry. The girl shook her head in disbelief. She approached the sobbing kid and said,
'Don't be such a pussy.'
'But...'
'Oh well... here, take this.' With that she handed the raquet to Ryoma who protested, 'Onee-chan! This raquet is yours.'
'Keep it. 'll have you return it to me once you're capable of beating me in a game of tennis.' After that, she walked away. Ryoma tried to follow her but...
RRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryoma Echizen snapped out of his daze when his cellphone suddenly rang.
'Moshi moshi.'
'Ryoma-kun?'
'Nanako?
'Hai.'
'Nani desu ka?'
'Well, you see here... Oji-san asked me to tell you to fetch Yukino-san from the airport... I believe she'll be arriving at noon so you better hurry.'
'Huh?'
'Oji-san told me...'
'I heard it but... why should it be me?'
'Oji-san is sick right now, Oba-san is at work and I have to look after the house so the only person to do it is you.'
'WHAT!!!'
Ryoma stood at the center of the pedestrian lane, dumbfounded. Yukino Echizen was the last person that he wanted to accompany, well, maybe except for Fuji. His cousin was always mistaken to be his twin whenever they walk together. Besides, she always treated him as if he was still the seven-year-old pssy he was before.
'Ryoma-kun?'
'Nani?'
'Would you pick up Yukino-san?'
'Hai...' Like hell I would.
'Arigatou... and please treat her nicely.'
'Of course...' not.
Echizen was standing still when the sign for cars turned green. He didn't notice that a black limousine was speeding it's way up the lane. the driver tried to warn Ryoma and even stopped the car. But the act was too late for the car still collided with Ryoma even though it didn't cause any fatal damages. Some of the on-lookers began to approach the boy when the driver stepped out and checked his pulse.
'Boy, are you okay?' he asked worriedly.
'Uh...' Ryoma could only groan.
The driver was about to carry Ryoma when another figure stepped out of the car.
'Driver-san... dooshite?'
''Uhm...'
'Ore-sama does not have time you know.'
'Well, this boy...' the driver said while pointing at Ryoma's fallen form. Keigo Atobe stared at the spot where the young prodigy lay and slowly muttered in astonishment,
'Echizen... Ryoma...'
'Do yu know him sir?'
Atobe didn't reply instead he ordered the driver to take Ryoma and bring him to the nearest hospital. The driver asked him about the airport but he brushed it off saying the Ryoma's health was far more important.

At the airport...
'Where in the world is that idiot?!' muttered by an irate brown-haired lady who was wearing a baby blue off-shouldered blouse topped with a blue-and-white jacket, dark blue mini-skirt, sunglasses and blue high heels. Beside her were a stroller and a tennis bag. It seems that she was waiting for somone and was greatl irritated by the lateness of the hour. She kept on looking towards different directions as if she was sorting every head that she sees but to no avail.
'Once, I get my hands on him, he'll be so dead...' She murmured to herself while steadying her stroller and as soon as it was done, she seated herself on her bag.
Yukino's P.O.V.
Damn Ryo no baka, he's so late. I've waited here for almost two hours and still no sign of him. Well, I seated myself on my stroller and tried to wait a little bit more. I turn my head in different directions to see whether he's somewhere out there but I guess he will never come. I decided to go to the information booth and ask the teller to give me a map so that I'll be able to find a suitable place to stay. I was on my way to my destination when I bumped into this guy. I demanded for his apology which he gave me rather unthoughtfully. Well, it just so happens that my phone suddenly rang so I asked the stranger to look after my things as he seems like a rather nice guy. I just receive this call from Nanako saying that Ryo had had an accident and won't be able to fetch me so I'm on my own. i tried to debate my case as being new to Japan but she hung up the phone. Well, so much for being blood-related. I turn back my attention to the four-eyes who got the nerve to bump into me and since he's kinda cute this crazy idea struck me and I decided to accomplish that idea. I really have no choice but to use him... sigh...
Tezuka's P.O.V.
Keigo told me that I have to meet him here at the airport at noon but he's still nowhere to be found. I mean it's understandable of him to be late when he'll be meeting a well-known person in America but not this late. I've been waiting for almost two hours. The nerve of him to say tha he hates tardy people. I decided to go to the information booth when I bumped into this girl. She reminds me of someone but I cannot fathom who it is that she reminds me of. She told me to apologize and I gave her an apology but then her phone rang so she asked me to look after her things. Now as I began to scan my surroundings especially this girl, I noticed that she's kinda cute and that's not all. I saw that she was also carryng a tennis bag showing that she plays tennis. As she finished her conversation, she looked at me and smiled. I smiled back even if i can sense something wasn't right.
Normal P.O.V.
Yukino had finally decided to go to the information booth when she bumped into someone...
'Ei, watch where you're going!'
'Huh...'
'Aren't you going to apologize?'
'Ah.. gomen ne...' Tezuka said in a spaced out manner.
Ring Ring
'Er.. could you please look at my things for a while?'
Tezuka nodded... Yukino turned back to her phone...
'Nanako! Where the hell is Ryo no Baka???'
'Ah Yukino-san, I believe he's rendered incapable of fetching you for he had this accident so I think that you are on your own, ja-ne.'
Yukino just couldn't believe her luck... First, she waited for nothing and now she's supposed to roam this place on her own. Oh just her luck... She turned back to Tezuka and finally, an idea struck her,
'Ne... can I ask you something?'
'Hai.'
'Do you know where Seishun Gakuen is?'
'Hai.'
'Can yo take me there?'
'Iie.'
'Onegai shimasu...' And there it goes... the puppy-dog eyes, oh how effective...
Tezuka sighed and finally gave in to Yukino's request. He took his phone to call Atobe when his phone suddenly rang.
'Moshi moshi.'
'Kunimitsu, I called to cancel our meeting.'
'Nani?'
'Something came up.'
'Huh?'
tut tut tut,
Before Tezuka could interrogate him, Atobe cut the line. Sigh... you should have called earlier... Tezuka sighed inwardly... before he could ponder in his thoughts any longer...
'Ne... the name's Yukino, you are?'
'Tezuka... Kunimitsu Tezuka.'
'Kawaii! Kuni-chan..' Tezuka cringed at the nickname but didn't say a word.
'Ne... shall we go?'
'Hai...' be thankful that you're cute...
'Arigatou Gozaimasu... Kuni-chan.'
Tezuka began to walk but Yukino called him and raised her bags to level Tezuka's eyes. Tezuka got the hint and was soon out of the airport carrying her bag.

At another place...
Keigo Atobe was now terribly worried about someone who got hit by his car.
Atobe's P.O.V.
I was preparig myself to go to the airport where Tezuka was supposed to meet me. I called him at once when my friend Yukino sent me an e-mail telling me ha she'll be visiting Japan. She was a superb tennis player. I only saw her play once but I was astonished by how she controlled the game with her opponent thinking that she'll lose. Well, even though it's hard for me to admit it, I admit that she's better than me and richer too. I thought that it would be nice for Tezuka to met her so I arranged a meeting with him at the airport today. I was so busy trying to look my best when I noticed that I'm already five minutes late. I called thedriver and told him to bring me to the airport asap. i just couldn't miss Yukino's arrival. My limo was now nearing the airport by at least two kilometers when it skidded to a halt. The driver stepped out of the car and approached someone. I just thought that it was a someone since he tried talking to it. I also stepped out and inquired about what happened only to have the driver point at something. I looked and to my utmost shock, I saw Ryoma Echizen in a crumpled heap. I began to panic and told the driver to take the boy and help me bring him to the nearest hospital.I believe that the driver said something about an airport but my mind was still unclear so it didn't really sink into my head. When we reached the hospital, it was then that I remembered my true intent. I looked at the clock and saw that I'm already two hours late. It was then that I decided to call Tezuka and cancel the meeting.
Ryoma's P.O.V.
I was walking towards a shop that sells tennis magazines located near the airport which I though was insignificant in itself. Oh, how wrong of me to think that. Just then my cousin, Nanako to be exact, called to inform me that my other cousin who's supposed to be my look-a-alike has returned. I was about to brush it offf when I realized that I was supposed to fetch her. I guess I stopped walking by then caused I sensed that I haven't moved at all. It was also at that time that I recalled something with regards to my dear cousin.- oh, please note the sarcasm-. Then, I heard a car honking towards my direction. It was too late when I realized what was about to happen and I my reflexes hadn't activated itself as of late. So, in all of my entire life, I found myself lying on the ground after I collided with that stupid car. I'm just thankful that the driver tried to stop before it really hit me full force. Well, of course, the commotion was there. I thought that I was hallucinating when I caught a glimpse of the great monkey king but guess, I can never have that kind of thing. Well, I heard him tell the driver to bring me to a hospital - - so it was HIS car after all - - hope he doesn't ask me to pay for any damage cause I don't have the money... I'm not rich to say the least... I guess I passed out after hearing some incoherent mumblings from the passers-by only to wake up in a comfy bed and see a disheveled monkey king in front... I really hope that I have a camera to capture the sight... Well, he noticed that I'm awake and began to speak...
Normal P.O.V.
Ryoma opened his eyes to see Atobe pace the room worriedly. As soon as the older boy saw that he's awake, he sighed in relief and said,
'Good thing you're awake... It'll be humiliating to see Tezuka accusing me of being a cheat for damaging Seigaku's prodigy.'
'Nani?' Ryoma asked, confused as to what the Hyotei player was talking about.
'Erm... you see... how should I put this...'
'First, tell me where in the hell am I?' Ryoma interrupted,
'You're in the hospital.'
'Dooshite?'
'It seems that you have forgotten that you got hit by my car...'
'Okay, how long have I been here?'
'You've been here for two hours, I assume.'
'Shit! Yukino's gonna kill me.'
'Yukino???'
'My cousin from America?'
'I see.' Could this be the same Yukino that I want Tezuka to meet. I couldn't really tell since she didn't tell me about her surname.
Seeing that Atobe was deep in thought, Ryoma tried to get up but was slumped backed to the bed when Atobe realized what he was doing. The first year winced in pain and looked inquiringly at the senior in front of him.
'Your left leg was broken and will heal after a month.' was the reply that he got from the ice king himself.
'NANI!!!' Ryoma yelled. He was still incredulous about this. Damn, a month... How in the hell am I gonna play in the Kantou tournament, which was to be held in what, NEXT WEEK... Monkey King I'm gonna kill you as soon as I get over this.
Atobe looked at the murderous expression sent to him by the indifferent kid and thought that he shouldn't have told him about the time he was about to take in recovering. He waited for another outburst but to his shock, Ryoma only said his infamous quote,
'Mada mada dane.'
Atobe sighed in relief when Ryoma began his questioning once again.
'Did you notify anyone about this?'
'Hai, I called Ryuzaki-san and she was extremely worried. Your parents seems not to care but your cousin told me to tell you to rest in peace.'
Ryoma guffawed but soon his expression was turned into that of utter horror.
'Is there something wrong, Echizen?'
'Hn.'
Echizen thought for a while before he asked again,
'Why were you in the alley anyway?'
'I have no obligations to tell you but since you asked, I was about to meet Tezuka at the airport.'
Ryoma gulped and began to imagine several scenarios including his cousin and buchou. He composed himself before he asked for his phone.
'Do you have my phone..'
'Iie. It got crushed by the impact. Do you need it.'
'Hai. Can I borrow yours, I have to call Tezuka-buchou and inform him since, sensie won't be likely to tell him outright.'
Atobe eyed him before giving his cellphone. Echizen dialled Tezuka's number and waited for his captain to pick up.
'Moshi moshi?' Tezuka answered as soon as he saw Atobe's number appearing on his cell.
'Buchou...' Echizen's voice came out.
'Echizen?' Tezuka asked wondering how Ryoma got hold of Atobe's cellphone. He was about to ask when Yukino, upon hearing the name Echizen, suddenly spoke.
'Kuni-chan, who's that?' Ryome froze upon hearing his cousin's voice and hung up at Tezuka who was totally confused.
Thye formerly stoic captain trained himself to keep his indifferent expression but suspicions began gnawing its way into his mind, What's going on with Keigo and Echizen... He never thought of anything else since his train of thoughts were interrupted by Yukino who demaded him to bring her to Ryuzaki-sensei's office. He had no choice but to comply since he already promised to keep her company.

Ryoma: Could you please tell me why I should be the one to get hit by that dumb car?
Kyuubi04: Well, what kind of accident are you supposed to get into without practically dying?
Ryoma: Still, you could have made it less severe, seriously, no tennis in a month, you must have gone bonkers.
Yukino: I see, that my supposed cousin have lost his indifferent self over a month's lost of tennis... I guess, I just have to enjoy myself in the company of your cute captain.
Kyuubi04: Yukino-san, you're not supposed to act like that, please be more demure. - receives a wink from her - sigh I guess I should've created a different character. - gets a glare - guess not sweatdrops and walks away
Yukino: Well guys, see you soon, oh before I forgot, just so you know that child doesn't own any P.O.T. characters in this story, well maybe except for me but I'm not really a character so I don't count... Ja ne... runs off stage shouting Oh, KUNI-CHAN!!!! Where are you!!!
Tezuka: ... runs and hides
Ryoma: That girl can really ruin ones rep, but I guess this will be a new experience, ah, don't forget to review and tell me how unfortunate I am for this accident. Well, ja ne.
Curtain falls and everything turns black.
