Full Summary: Living in a world, where unknown authorities rule over countries and districts, some people are searching for something. An mysterious treasure, bound with the tale of possesing the power to fulfill every so selfish wish. People holding supernatural powers in them and people not holding such, are fighting and bounding over this treasure and in the middle of this chaos, stands a boy, which seeks for something he long ago forgot.

His name is Echizen Ryoma.

Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis.

"Where...?"

Echizen Ryoma blinked, it was dark and he needed some time until he could slowly see something. Though there wasn't much to see. In his sight were just a wall, a table and a door. As the boy wanted to turn around, he noticed, that he was currently bound onto a chair with a rope. Seemed like he got in some trouble.

Sighing, he decided, that it wasn't worth the trouble to stay awake and was ready to fall asleep, as the door opened and some light fell upon his face. Three or four - he couldn't see it clearly, as the light blinded him - tall guys entered the room, not looking kind in any way.

After Ryoma got used to the light, he noticed that he was sitting in something akin to a cell. Wouldn't be the first time.

"Awake already, huh?"

His golden eyes wandered to the man in front of him, checking him shortly, before shrugging slightly and mumbling, "I guess." He wasn't sure himself.

The man in front of him was rather wide and looked like he wished a painful death to everyone around him. Ryoma couldn't really blame him. He did that too a lot. Well, probably because idiots were always surrounding him.

"Hm, really relaxed? I'm sure you know in what kind of situation you are, right?"

"I don't need to be Sherlock, to know that."

The man started smirking at him, "Huh, I like you kid."

Ryoma smirked back, "Well, then you might free me of this ropes? They're annoying."

A loud laugh left the man's lips and he spoke up with a steady voice, "Dream on, kid. That won't happen for awhile. I need you as hostage after all."

Ryoma blinked, just to start smirking even more, "I see..."

"Oh, did I say too much? Well, it doesn't matter anymore. You're not gonna get out of this. So, I'm gonna go now, handling some preparations."

Ryoma narrowed his eyes, looking at the door, where mere seconds ago some men stood. Hostage, huh? As he was wandering through the world, he didn't have really any friends or family, which meant he couldn't really be a hostage. Well, if he didn't include the authority of whatever town or country he was. Normally the authority couldn't care less about some stranger, but once the residents found out, that the authority let something, as maybe murder happen, it would give very much trouble for said authority.

Ryoma's smirk remained on his face, as he realized how smart and dumb his captor's plan was. The authority probably was smart and strong enough, to handle everything and if they weren't, there was no way, that they could ever...

... Well, it didn't matter.

Soon after they left, he fell asleep, not really caring about what was happening. The boy slept for some hours, until he could hear some shouting, kicking and crashing. It wasn't easy to stay asleep with the whole noise for most humans.

But Ryoma was an exception.

So he decided to not give a fuck about it all and sleep on. Though not for long, as someone kicked the door to his cell and just seconds later, it crashed down. Opening his eyes, to tell them to be quiet, he stopped as he saw the person. He narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out the answer for the question in his mind.

Was the person in front of him male or female?

There stood a person with light brown hair and closed eyes. A smile was on the unknown person's face, making Ryoma shiver for some unknown reason.

"Oh, I didn't know someone else was here."

Ryoma could practically hear the lie in these words, but ignored it, figuring out, that he didn't really care.

"My, my, what to do with you, little boy."

Said 'little boy' tried to hid his annoyance and looked to the side.

"Hm... Seems like you don't need help at all. See you," After saying these words, the boy turned around and left the room, just to come back seconds later.

"You're not asking for help? Or being scared?"

Ryoma shook his head slightly, "Nah, this isn't really that worse."

Silence filled the room, until the unknown person sighed.

"You're not fun at all. Well, let's get you out of her. I'm Fuji Syuusuke, you?"

"I don't see reason to tell you."

"Even if I would leave you here to die?"

"I don't really care."

Fuji frowned, speaking up, "You should. Just tell me your name. I can't keep calling you 'little boy' now, can I?"

"... Echizen Ryoma."

A grin made it's way onto Fuji's face, as he opened the ropes with a knife.

"See? That was easy."

"..."

A light chuckle came from Fuji, as he took the younger boy's hand.

"Let's go, we shouldn't stay to long here."

Ryoma didn't say anything and just followed him. He probably shouldn't trust the stranger, but he didn't seem like he would harm him. As he looked around, he noticed shattered windows, destroyed doors and many, many bodies laying around. He wasn't sure if they were dead, but they definitely didn't look alive. After some time, he finally decided to ask the question, he should have asked minutes ago.

"Where are we going?"

At first Fuji continued humming the song, he did the whole time, but then he stopped and turned around, so that he could face Ryoma. A mischievous chuckle escaped him.

"Well, you see, we were sent from the authority of this town, to prevent some 'problems'. And now, that we've done our job, we can go home and get our pay."

Dog of the authority? Someone like this person? Fuji doesn't seem like he would be loyal to someone. But then again, appearances are deceiving. But then Ryoma stopped walking - bringing Fuji as well to a halt - realizing, what he said.

"We? Who do you mean with we?"

"Well... Did you hear of Seigaku?"

Ryoma nodded. It was practically impossible to not know of Seigaku, as it was one of the three largest gangs in Japan. Gangs were usual in the kind of world, where Ryoma lived. There were some big, there were some small. They weren't really that hated by society. Well, at least not the good ones. It always gave a bad side in everything, also in gangs. While some countries don't have big gangs either ruling over a district or being like a special quad protecting the district they lived in, Japan was an exception.

Generally a country was divided between five districts.

The North District.

The East District.

The South District.

The West District.

And lastly, The Central.

When a country is lead by an authority, they will be most likely to stay in the central, as it's more simple too see what's happening in the other districts from there. Japan had three known, large gangs.

Seigaku, Shitenhouji and Hyoutei.

Seigaku lives in the South District and takes ordes from the government, also known as Small Authority, chosen by the Large Authority, which is the one living im the Central and leading Japan. Then there would be Shitenhouji, who was leading the West District. And then there was Hyoutei also serving the government of the North District. Well, Ryoma wasn't sure about the serving part, as he heard about rumors, which told, that it was actually in the opposite. Then again, like mentioned, it were just that, rumors.

Lastly, there was the East District it didn't have a large gang, just it's government. A way to lead a district, like Shitenhouji did, would be to destroy the government. Naturally, that would get one in problems with the Large Authority, but they weren't as worse, as people tended to believe. Well, with the exception, if you actually killed someone of the government, whilst taking over.

Anyways, it wasn't easy to not know about Seigaku, as they were also known as the authority's dogs (though not with Ryoma, as he called everyone who worked for the authority dogs). And not just that, whenever Ryoma heard of Seigaku, he felt, as if he knew the name already from somewhere others. From where tough...

"Good, that's the answer, Echizen-kun."

"I see..." A dog, huh.

"Let's go, we spent too much time here," Fuji said, as he took Ryoma's hand, pulling him towards a door.

But before they could leave, someone stopped them.

"Oh, some little puppies are still here as it seems."

Both, Fuji and Ryoma, simultaneously looked at a door behind them.

"Well, good for me though. Some hostages against Seigaku will surely do good."

And then fire surrounded them.

Ryoma totally forgot.

Supernatural powers were also a thing in their world.

A/N: This is the first time I'm writing that kind of fanfic, where mystery and supernatural elements are present. Well, there is for everything a first.

Anyways, some things I wanna state!

- I update whenever I feel like. (Meaning whenever I'm not being lazy or I'm studying, also never.)

- Also I don't give a damn about length. My chapters are gonna be short. Under 1000 words or over 1000 words I don't give a fuck, because I'm a lazy, impatient little brat. (I'm just stating this, because my mind is a bitch, who won't let me be. Sorry.)

Ah! Also for the character tags. I'm gonna add more as the story progresses, but the ones already there are kinda like the main dudes.

So, that's it. Maybe leave your opinion here? I would really appreciate it!
