Dreams of the Soulless
OMG! I did it! I started another story! Right after promising myself, I would NOT start another story until I finished at least one of the ones I already have… GAH! I fail…totally…
This takes place after Ryoma wins the Nationals and comes back for his first year of high school. It's been a month since he's come back and the regulars decide to celebrate.
Anyway please enjoy. This is only a Prologue so chapters will be longer and I promise, better. At least in my opinion.
Summary: The regulars decide to go to the beach. No training, no practise, just a fun filled day without worries. Little did they know that tragedy was waiting, ready to strike. Little did they know that their fun filled day would soon turn out to be one of the most horrifying events they have ever witnessed.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS. That, at least, should be obvious.
Prologue:
Dreams are like Stars.
Dreams… What are dreams? Figments of our imagination? Goals we set for ourselves? Things we see when we fall asleep?
No.
Dreams are something more. They are part of you. Without them you might as well just be the shell of a human. Without dreams one simply cannot exist
My sister once told me dreams are like stars. Some big, some small, but always there. Sometimes it may feel like they're surreal, and out of your reach, but mankind is always improving and finding new ways to grasp these stars.
I remember doubting whether one could always achieve their dreams.
"Nee-Chan, what if that dream was impossible? Like wanting to be the first person to breath in space without oxygen! It's impossible, right?"
She had laughed and then proceeded to tell me something I still haven't forgotten, even to this day. "Things are only impossible when one believes them to be so."
That had left me with two things to think about; Dreams, and the impossible.
Now you have to know, I was only six years old when asking this. Yes, I was smarter than most at my age, but six years old nonetheless.
What my sister told me back then had confused me. I had grown up thinking some things were impossible; now here I was being told nothing is impossible.
Confusing, right?
"Ne, Nee-Chan…What's your dream?" My sister bent down, looked me squarely in the eyes and smiled.
"One day I wish to become a great Psychic, greater than even Oba-San." True to my sister's words, she had indeed become a great psychic, even surpassing our grandmother.
"Do you have a dream?" she had asked. I remember being surprised by the unexpected question. It was then that I began to think.
Do I have a dream?
After coming to a conclusion I nodded. "My dream is to protect Yuu-Chan and all those I care about!"
'I promise to never let those I care about down.' I had added silently to myself. My sister had smiled at me and had given me a pat on the head. After that she told me what a wonderful dream that was.
...
Hanging my head with sorrow, I held back a sob. I had failed to uphold my promise from all those years ago. Here, sitting on a cold, metal chair of the Hospital waiting room, I couldn't help but think how much I had failed those I care about.
Life could be so unfair sometimes.
A/N
So how was it? So far I'm really excited about this story. Even though I just promised myself, I not upload another story….
Anyway, please review. Or criticize. Honestly, tell me you hate it for all I care.
Remember though this is only a Prologue. Or at least kind of, this is like a sneak peak to later during the story,
