The Tragedy

The silence of the crowd was almost deafening as Kunimitsu Tezuka lay on the tennis courts screaming, clutching his shoulder in pain. All his beloved teammates could do was watch, as they saw their beloved Captain fall to pieces as tears streamed down his lightly tanned cheeks. You'd think that it would hurt the team the most to see Kunimitsu in such agony. But tears welled up in the eyes of Kunimitsu's beloved little sister. With a broken ankle Maya, Kunimitsu's little sister and Co-Captain of the Seigaku Tennis Team was forced to withdraw from the Kanto Tournament before her first match that was to be played against Keigo Atobe. So unsurpassable circumstances forced Seigaku's beloved Captain to fight the repeated struggle that began one-year prior to his match against Capt. Atobe. As Ryoma surveyed the stadium all he saw was the blank expression of the Seishen fans, and the snide soul devouring smiles of the Hyotei- Gokken supporters. All that could be heard was the agonizing screams coming from Tezuka. The medics quickly came and took Kunimitsu to the hospital, with the team closely behind.

Maya's P.O.V

As soon as we entered the hospital Kunimitsu was nowhere to be found, all we could hear was the faint squeak of the gurney wheels and the sobbing of patients and their families alike. I had always seen the depressed and silent onlooker of the waiting room as the waited for the best or the worst. But I never thought that I'd be one of them. I stormed through the fifth floor without even a second glance. When I stumbled upon a room with a large glass window. "OH MY GOD!!!"

Eiji's P.O.V.

We all sat apprehensively in the waiting room, hoping that we could figure out where Kunimitsu was. When suddenly a blood-curdling scream echoed throughout the hallways of the fifth floor. " What was that?!?" yelled Kaidoh in surprise. " It sounded like Maya, let's go" We all quickly ran to the source of the scream to find Maya lying unconscious on the floor outside of a large window. " Maya, what's wrong" I yelped in exasperation. " Look in the window," was all the response I received. As our eyes took in what we saw through the window, our blood ran ice cold. We saw our beloved Captain laying on a operating table with a ventilator tube lodged down his throat, multiple I.V. needles protruding from his arms, his shoulder slashed open being held by multiple sutures, a waterfall of blood fall to the floor, and Kunimitsu ghost like skin tone was unbearable for us. We all burst into tears. Not just of the sight set before us, but because we couldn't imagine how horrible Maya must feel having to watch her big brother that always protected her be this helpless and showing such weakness. We all just sat beneath the window, crying as we heard the faint beep of the heart monitor.

Normal P.O.V

That was the event that was change the lives of the Seigaku Tennis Team and every member of his beloved tennis team. He was Kunimitsu James Tezuka. A son, a brother, a mentor, and a friend.
