In the dark of the night, when everything was still and quite, a slap vibrated threw the air. Two figures stood in a room. One against the wall slouching, the other looking at his hand in guilt.

"...Ryoma...I...I...didn't..." the one who slapped Ryoma was staring at his hand in disbelief.

Ryoma straightened up and look at the other. a bright red hand print showed off the side of his face, along with a cut following it from the ring the other was wearing when he slapped him.

"Mada Mada Dane.. Keigo." his voice whispered out. Keigo walked closer to Ryoma trying to see the damage he caused the younger male. as he reached out the see, Ryoma flinched a little. Pain filled Keigo's eyes.

"I'm so sorry Ryoma."


"Hoi Hoi. O'chibi. What's a huge bandage doing on your check!" A red headed, hyper-active kid yelled. Gathering everyone's attention.

"Sempai. Its nothing." Ryoma stated as he pulled his hat down over his eyes.

Everyone gathered around to see what was going on. Questions were being raised and everyone voicing out their concern.

"Saaa. Echizen, why do you have that bandage. It covers half your face?" Fuji asked with his eyes open.

"I go in a fight with Karupin. That's all" Walking away from them, he headed to the club room to change for practice.


~Flashback~

"Ryoma. I think maybe we should split up."

"Why?" A voice asked softly.

"Because I know your cheating on me!"

"I'm not. I wish you would listen to me. Atobe gets up and throws a envelope to Ryoma.

"Whats this?"

"Proof" Was all he said as he sat down.

Opening the envelope. Ryoma looked threw the pics.

"So this is your proof?"

"THIS IS BULLSHIT! THESE PICTURES ARE OF ME PLAYING TENNIS AND TRAINING WITH BOUCHE!"

"Im sure that's all you were doing."

"Damnit Monkey king why cant you believe me!" Only Atobe Keigo could get Ryoma emotional like this.

"So as you see...I think we shouldn't do this anymore." Ryomas eyes widened then he looked down at the floor.

"You don't even care. Its just a job to you isn't it. Was I fun to play with?" Ryoma's cold voice said. Looking up Atobe started at the figure of his lover -ex-lover.

"no."

"If you wanted me gone so bad, you should have just told me. Not making something small, that never happened, into something huge." getting up, atobe walked to Ryoma with anger. Raising his hand he smacked him. Disbelief filled his eyes after he hit Ryoma.

"...Ryoma...I...I...didn't..." the one who slapped Ryoma was staring at his hand in disbelief.

Ryoma straightened up and look at the other. a bright red hand print showed off the side of his face, along with a cut following it from the ring the other was wearing when he slapped him.

"Mada Mada Dane.. Keigo." his voice whispered out. Keigo walked closer to Ryoma trying to see the damage he caused the younger male. as he reached out the see, Ryoma flinched a little. Pain filled Keigo's eyes.

"I'm so sorry Ryoma." Getting up, Ryoma picked up his bag that was sitting next to him and turned his back to Atobe, heading to the door.

"You have your wish. Have a happy life Keigo." With those last words, Ryoma walked out the door.

Atobe Keigo just stood there. Staring.

~ End of Flashback~


' He should have came after me if he really care.' Ryoma thought with a sigh.

Practice went on like usual. Except for everyone tried to figure out what happened.

"Tezuka. You don't believe his story, Do you?" Fuji asked Tezuka as he was standing beside him.

"No"

"Im going to try and find out what happened." Fiji promised himself.

'Noone messes with our kitten.' he thought with a smirk and his eyes opened a little. Everyone within his range stepped away from him.

"Calm down Fuji. Don't let your guard down."

"Saaaa" with that Fuji closed his eyes and Tezuka kept his eyes on a certain younger member.
