Way Back To Your Heart
Chapter 1: The Life of Fuji Syuurei
She was cleaning her attic when she came across a box. She opened it up and found her son's first book, his past report cards and some picture albums and then she found an even smaller box. When she ripped it open she was glad to find what she had been searching for.
In the box were few books. They were here diaries. She read the date on them and opened up the one that she had kept when she was in the first year of high school. Her son, Naoki, deserved to know the truth and she decided to use these diaries to reveal it to him. She was scared of how he would react to it but, he was old enough now. She opened up the diary she held in her hand randomly and read the first entry on that page.
It read:
21st Sept. 2001
Today was the best day of my life. I got selected as the captain of the girl's tennis team. I can finally stand at the same position as Tezuka Kunimitsu. I hope he knows I exist now…
She read the first two lines of that entry and skipped to a few days ahead.
30th Sept. 2001
Tezuka left his book with in the biology lab. He has a test next week so we'll be meeting over the weekend so I can return his book.
She read a few more entries when her son- Naoki- walked towards her. She quickly hid the books in the box.
"Mom? What are you doing in here all by yourself?" he asked.
"Oh nothing. Just looking at a few photos." She said handing the photos over to her son.
He glanced at them and replied "Oh Mom! Those are embarrassing! Anyways, Uncle Yuuta says dinner is ready."
"Tell him I'll be right there"
"Ok"
The minute he was gone, she stuffed all the diaries and other things back in the box. She wiped a tear from her eye and went to eat dinner.
Naoki's POV
Mom was definitely hiding something from me. Why else would she have tears in her eyes? Could it have been something related to dad? Why am I getting thoughts like this? Mom would never hide anything from me.
Yuuta's POV
Why was Syuu so upset over dinner? I thought as I lay in bed that night. She must have been thinking about him. I hope she was only searching for those journals because she wanted Naoki to know his father. He's already ten years old. I'm sure he'll be able to understand the truth about his father.
The Next Day
She had a meeting with the chairman of a very important company. She took a shower and got dressed. As she glanced in the mirror she felt like something was missing. She stared at herself for sometime and realized what it was.
She opened her jewelry box to find something her hardly ever wore. She held it in her hand and let the memories come back to her.
It was her birthday and she was sure that it would be a good day. She only got to celebrate her birthday properly only once every four years since it was on the 29th of February. She walked to her class where she found him smiling.
"Happy Birthday" he said and kissed her softly.
"Thanks." She replied. But before they could talk more the bell rang.
That evening, at the party Tezuka gave her his present. When she opened the little red box she found a white gold chain with a pendant shaped like a tiny diamond ring.
That necklace symbolized Tezuka's faithfulness to her but the future held very different things in both their lives.
She opened her eyes and wiped away a few tears. She kept the ring back in its place. She wanted to wear it as a lucky charm but was sure that she wouldn't be able to bear remembering him. After all, Naoki reminded her of him every single minute.
She walked to her son's room and drew the curtains. The sunlight woke him up.
"Mom!" he said rubbing his eyes.
"Rise and shine sweetheart."
"Don't you have a really important meeting today Mom?" that was just like Naoki. He was a little too responsible. It sometimes made her feel like a child.
"I don't want to go for such an important meeting without seeing my Naoki first. You're my good luck charm remember?"
Yuuta interrupted them.
"Syuurei. We've got to go."
"Ok. Naoki, don't give Grandma too much trouble, ok?"
"Good luck Mom. Good luck Uncle Yuuta."
"Let's go!" Yuuta said eagerly.
She got her Mercedes out of the garage and sped down the street.
"You ready for this?" Yuuta asked from the passenger seat.
"Aniki! I was ready to establish my own company I think I'm ready for this deal."
"But it is a two million dollar deal. Although you don't have to really worry since your chairman can handle it." Yuuta said raising his collar.
"I'm sure he'll be great." Syuurei said playing along.
The meeting went well and Syuurei's company now owned a sports magazine.
Syuurei drove to pick her son up from school. On the way she saw a sports shop. This gave her an idea. She sped up.
She was five minutes early but she wanted to surprise him so she went to his class and asked the teacher if she could take him home early. He was overjoyed since this meant that the deal was done. She drove him to the sports shop she had seen down the road and parked there.
"Mom, why are we stopping here?" Naoki asked.
"You've been a very good boy lately so I thought of getting you a little present. Let's go."
They got out of the car and walked into the shop.
"You're pretty good at tennis already Naoki. You're already vice captain of your team. I want you to be captain next year." she said.
"Mom, I know you want to see me as a captain and I assure that I will be the captain next year. But, to ensure that could you-um…" he hesitated.
"Could I what Naoki?"
"Could you coach me?" he asked.
"Sure. Let's get you a new racquet first shall we?"
They saw different types of racquets in the shop but Syuurei was shocked when she realized that the racquet her son had picked was and updated version of the one she used to use when she was in high school- it was a Prince (Michael Chang titanium). She had a feeling her son was going to turn out to be a Tensai as well. She was yet to discover how similar he was to his father in ways other than his looks and habits.
A/N: 2ND Chapter will be focused on Tezuka. Reviews are appreciated. If anyone wants to change anything in the story, review and let me know. Also, let me know about pairings you want me to include in this story.
