Chapter one

(Tezuka's POV; Germany)

It had been many years since they had last seen each other after high school they both lived separate lives, he himself lived a night life, a life of solitude of order a life he could control, after all that's what he craved the most; control. On the other hand his best friend during those sweet high school years was quite the polar opposite. He became a star in his field, living the life most can't even dream of. Living a life under the constant flash of the paparazzi, praise form critics and surrounded by fans both male and female alike. A social butterfly some would say, people were draw to him due to his charisma and personality he made others feel confident and comfortable. Kikumaru Eiji rose to the top of his tennis career only out skilled by few.

Tezuka Kunimitsu had moved on from tennis due to an injury that never made him the same. He couldn't deal with the disappointment of never being as good as he once was. That was all in the past though a life he rarely spoke about but always visited in his memories. People were often intimidated by his cold demeanour and closed personality. That was fine with him he didn't like to deal with people unless absolutely necessary. After high school he had moved on and away from his home country and went to live in Germany once again. There he studied law, human behaviour and criminology all of which he excelled at. He broke off all contact with his former life and friends. It was painful to remember such happy times with them, and more specifically a someone. No matter how he tried to forget him he found he couldn't, he couldn't resist watching his matches or recording them when he knew he would miss them. No matter how much he was infatuated with him Tezuka had a rule; no contact. He understood himself well enough to know that the minute he broke that rule he could never go back to his current life as a P.I . Tezuka was comfortable where he was, he survived and was rather content. Little did he know that that would all change.

It all started with a case he took up, nothing special, just another missing persons. He did his thing called up all his sources. In this day and age everyone left a paper trail. You just had to find it. Tezuka simply hired his acquaintance Logan -a computer hacker- to find anything that could be traced through the net, as always he reminded him self that there was no privacy on the internet and some things still should just be done in person. When the police had asked for his assistance they had stressed that the missing person was a witness with some very bad people after them. They suggested that he should take extra care when bringing the witness in. Tezuka had always made an effort to bring in or deliver the items he was hired to find in person. After all there are still people who go through the mail, it is illegal but then again so is murder. Ever since he left his old life this is the life he had been living in, a darker side of life people just don't want to hear about or even acknowledge exists.

Tezuka found the witness and cringed when he saw the address, he didn't want to go back there, not after all he put his team and himself through. He sighed in defeat; if he ever wanted to get paid he had to do this. That night he booked his ticket for Japan, and would be departing in the morning. Once this job was done Tezuka planned on taking a long well deserved vacation maybe to the Caribbean some where nice, somewhere no one knew him. Tezuka paid Logan and headed home for a long sleepless night that waited for him. On the walk home he made a silent prayer to any gods there may be that he didn't run into any of his old team mates during his visit.

(the next day; Japan. Eiji's POV)

Kikumaru Eiji and his friend Ooishi finished up a recreational match even though it was closely matched Ooishi beat him. It wasn't something that happened often, neither was Eiji winning. The two of them were as evenly matched as it gets, like everyone else they had their off days.

"You're as cheerful as ever Eiji." Ooishi commented as he made his way over to the redhead breathless form the match.

"Hai, Hai!" Eiji responded happily with his signature grin. It was difficult to catch Eiji with out a smile on his face, or it was. Ever since the old captain left their lives Eiji's smiles seemed more forced and for show then actual meaning. Eiji tried to hide the sense of betrayal among his friends but he was hurting just as much as others, even the prince himself was struggling to deal, although he would never admit it, even to himself. In truth Tezuka's leaving affected everyone, Momoshiro and Kaidou seemed to argue a lot more when the news was final that they would never see their captain again. All of them longed to be guided from their old captain, but things change and life goes on.

After high school most of the old Seigaku regulars moved on from tennis. Inui Sadaharu got his PhD in both science and mathematics and is now a professor at Tokyo university. Ooishi Shuuichirou became Eiji's private physician and physiotherapist who would accompany the young tennis pro on tour. Momoshiro Takeshi and Echizen Ryoma moved to live in America together, Ryoma continuing to take the tennis world by storm like his father before him. Both of them kept in contact with the rest, no one on the team were willing to have another 'Tezuka' incident. Fuji Shuunsuke is as conniving as ever and is currently a very popular BL novelist and is living in his pent house suit with his equally conniving partner Yukimura Seiichi. Kawamura Takashi ended up taking over his fathers restaurant, his father is now enjoying retirement. Kaidou Kaoru is now a happy, hissing pet store owner. All eight of them meet up once every 6 months or less at Kawamura's restaurant and talk about their lives. After the match both Ooishi and Eiji headed over there to see everyone, eager to see their friends and hear of their adventures in their simple lives.

Eiji and Ooshi were that last to arrive at Kawamura's place it was pretty late so the party wasn't expecting anyone to intrude on their night. When the two got there Momo and Ryoma were already stuffing their faces with anything they could get their hands on. Fuji and his partner Yukimura were cuddling to one side and feeding each other, all the while doing stuff for 18+ eyes. Eiji avoided the pair just because he's in his late 20's doesn't mean he wants to lose every piece of innocence he's got. Ooishi seemed to feel the same way and took a seat beside Eiji. Kawamura was running back and forth between the counter and the tables trying to keep up with every ones appetite. Kaidou was eating chicken contently and passing some small pieces to the puppy that was sleeping on his lap under the table. Inui being as creepy as ever watched everyone with his green eyes hidden behind his glasses, taking notes and mumbling to himself.

Everyone was happy to get together and catch up, Momo and ryoma living so far away had a whole bunch of stories to tell. Fuji and Yukimura would comment and input their own experience once and awhile but mostly stayed absorbed in each other, like always. It wasn't long before Momo and Kaidou were at each others throats, Ooishi and Inui were right along with them trying to keep the peace and Eiji was just laughing at the bizzarness of it all. It didn't do anything to help but out the lightning flying between them. Everything was inturped when the bell from the restaurant door chimed signaling that a costumer had walked in. all eyes turned on the new comer, who wasn't so much a stranger.

(Tezuka's POV)

Tezuka filed his way off the plane exhausted and hungry. It was a long flight 12 and a half hours in coach was just barbaric and being stuck between a knitting grandma and a smelly biker was not any way to live even if it was for just half a day. By the time he got out of the airport and onto the familiar streets of Japan it was almost 11 o'clock. Tezuka checked into his hotel and was dismayed to learn that the room service closed at 10 forcing him to find a meal out on the town. He sighed and walked to a small restaurant that seemed to be still open based on the amount of noise from behind the door. He was thankful for it not being his old friend's father's restaurant, so there was no chance meeting any one he knew here, not this far into the capital. He walked in and just about died.

"Tezuka?" eight voices said in unison as he took in the party's crowd.
