Disclaimer: If I owned Prince of Tennis, it will definitely be shounen ai and Ryoma will have his own personal harem of hott guys.
Pairing: TezukaRyoma and FujiRyoma
Summary: Ryoma had many talents that his senpai never knew about. After finally deciding to tell his friends about it, he was in an accident that might forever change his life. How will his friends react when they hear the news? Seigaku brothers! Pillar pair and Thrill pair. SHOUNEN AI.
The most painful and heart wrenching thing to do in a parents life was watched as their offspring passed on before they did, no parents would want to bury their child, it wasn't right. The second painful thing for them was to bare witness to an accident involving your child, where his life might, figuratively speaking of course, be over despite being alive.
Such a time was happening right now for the Echizen couple.
Rinko buried her face within her husbands chest and sobbed her heart out, while Nanjirou could do nothing but hold her. There were no words he could say that would be able to soothe her, or himself as it is. Brown eyes closed as a head lowered to rest upon his wife's head, hands running up and down her back in comforting circles, trying to offer her what little comfort he could at the moment.
Hawk-like eyes opened allowing their owner to peer at the bed, taking in the motionless figure lying upon the bed covered by white sheets. Everything in the room was too white for Nanjirou. The only color he could see on the bed were his son's black tinted green hair; even Ryoma's golden tanned complexion was too pale for his liking.
Lower lips quivered at the sight of his beloved baby boy. He couldn't believe what those doctors told him, he couldn't, he wouldn't. What do those doctors know about his precious little champion, nothing. They knew nothing about the boy and how strong and stubborn he could be. Ryoma will overcome this, after all this was just another hurdle that he needed to jump over to become just that much more greater. Doctors were proven wrong all the time, and his son will just be another one to do so.
Echizen Ryoma constantly defied logic and whenever you thought you had him figured out he would go and do something completely unexpected throwing whatever expectation you had of him out the door. That was just how Ryoma was and he will do the impossible this time to, despite what the doctors keep telling him. He knew his son, and Ryoma will overcome this.
He just had to.
But against he had just been thinking about, he felt the tears building, burning the back of his eyes searching for an escape. For two days, two, his baby had been in a coma with no signs of ever waking up. And at the moment Nanjirou had no idea if this was for the best or not, because he knew upon finding out the news, he didn't know how is son will react. Not only were his legs damaged, so were his vocal cords, the doctors were unsure if Ryoma would ever be able to talk again, and at hearing that, Rinko had completely collapsed not being able to handle anymore bad news about their son and he sent them away.
How will Ryoma overcome such an obstacle?
At Seishun Gakuen
Seigaku regulars
It was another ordinary day for the tennis club, the members were training hard, the regulars harder and trying to avoid drinking Inui's newest concoction of alleged health drinks that were anything but healthy. So, yes, it was a typical day, but there was a slight change to the regulars attitude. They seemed more happy, excited, even Tezuka and Kaidoh couldn't help their happiness.
The reason?
Echizen Ryoma, the teams baby was finally returning to them, where he belonged and they couldn't wait. Ryom,a had been in America for the past six months and they had missed him greatly.
Fuji smiled brightly, patting his best friends shoulder, who was beyond happy as he bounced around the group of eight. "I can't wait, nya." the redhead exclaimed, "When ochibi gets here, I'll take him to the burger joint and get him all the burger he wants to ear. And ponta too, nya."
"Oyaji is closing the shop down." Taka replied, "I told him about Ryoma's return and he said we couldn't use the shop to celebrate. He's getting the sushi ready for us." the brunet smiled, shyly while Eiji and Momoshiro started jumping around cheering about free sushi at Kawamura's.
Oishi sighed, shaking his head trying to get the two to calm down before they hurt themselves. Inui grinned and was scribbling into his notebook, about what, the world may never know. Kaidoh hissed, glowering at Momo while Tezuka sighed inaudible, turning his head away from the group, while resisting the urge to tell them to run 100 laps around the courts, he was in a generous mood, and didn't think the group needed to be punished just because they are unable to withhold there enthusiasm about their prince's return.
Yes they were all very happy and nothing was going to ruin the day.
Ryuuzaki walked towards the courts, crossing her arms over her chest, she observed the eight regulars in sadness. She hadn't seen them this happy since Ryoma's departure to the US. She didn't know how she was going to tell them the news. It'll hurt them so badly and for that alone she wanted nothing more then to hide the truth from them, but with Echizen not showing up when they know he was suppose to, well, that would hurt them even more then the finding out the truth.
Steeling her resolve, she uncrossed her arms and closed the remaining distance, "Hora, minna-san!" she called out. "Practice is ending early, members dismiss, freshman pick up the balls and take the equipment into the storage, second and third years help move the equipments." she ordered, before facing the team starters, "Regulars come with me, there is something I have to tell you."
Sharing a look, the eight followed their coach towards her office, without speaking they knew what the others were feeling, apprehension was the major one, followed by confusion. The regulars were more just teammates, more then just friends, they were brothers and they loved and cared about the others despite the fights and arguments they might get into. And Ryuuzaki's actions were scaring them. And they had no idea why they were feeling this way.
xXx
Sitting in her chair, she leaned back, eyes lowered to her desk, she motioned for the boys to take the seats before she addressed them. "You know about Ryoma's return from the states, right?"
Eiji grinned, "Hoi! Hoi! Of course we do sensei, nya!" the redhead flashed two fingers towards the coach, the universal peace sigh. "Bui!" he exclaimed, resisting the urge to bounce around the room.
Momoshiro nodded his head, just as excited as his senpai, "YOSH, that brat said he'd be arriving today when we last spoke which was a few days ago." the second year's excitement was just as obvious as Kikumaru. The rest of the group nodded their heads in agreement to what their other two friends already said.
Ryuuzaki sighed, placing her hands on the desk in front of her, "Nanjirou called me just a while ago and told me that they actually arrived in Japan the day Ryoma made that call to you guys. He wanted to surprise you and what better way then to arrive when you lease expect it."
Fuji blinked open his eyes, he didn't like the sound of this. If it has been a few days already and Ryoma hadn't come to see them and the way Ryuuzaki is acting, it made warning bells ring, and for the first time in his life, Fuji Syuusuke was terrified. "What happened? What did Nanjirou tell you, sensei?" he whispered.
"Two days ago, when they arrived here. in Japan..."Ryuuzaki paused, eyes closed, "He was standing near one of the vending machine located just outside of the airport,, when a speeding car drove past the departure and pick-up , but he was going to fast and couldn't make the turn properly, the car jumped the sidewalk and struck Ryoma."
At those words, the team didn't know what to do before a cry rang out and everyone turned in the direction it came from. Eiji had fallen to the floor, his head in his arms and sobs racked his body. Oishi fell beside him, wrapping his around the redhead. "NO, ochibi-chan!" the acrobat wailed, clinging onto Oishi.
"I've talk to your teachers and the principal, they all know about Echizen's accident and that you guys won't be attending your afternoon classes." The elderly woman gave a nod, "So you're all dismissed from school." the regulars, those that were able to, gave nods, :Nanjirou informed me that Ryoma is being treated at Kanto General, room B110."
Oishi wiped his eyes, as did everyone else, bowing towards their coach in farwell the group of eight wasted no time in leaving the school and taking off towards the said hospital. Each lost in their own sorrow and grief, but beneath that, there was a fire that burn just as bright as Ryoma
They had to know he was alright. That he would be fine. He just had to be, he was Echizen Ryoma after all. The prince of Tennis. And there was nothing and no body that could defeat him.
The story is a product of me watching Tenimyu: The Prince of Tennis Musical, first cast, and oh my god, do I love them, especially Yanagi. I heard about his accident and I was really sad, but, I so super happy that Yanagi is doing well now, I adore him, and Kimeru, TakiEiji, just the entire first generation, including Endo...
Hope you like the fic...Happy Birthday Yanagi (Dec. 21) and Echizen Ryoma (Dec. 24) and Merry Christmas all...And a happy new years!
