Author: AzureBluePhoenix
Chapter Summary: Where are we? Is all the players could think of as they trudge around this foreign world of magic and monsters. As we catch up with other schools being sent to this bizarre world, monsters attack and some schools seems to be in greater danger than before…
Azure: Thank you to all who read the prologue, and now the first chapter is out too! Anyways, since I've been away from for so long, I realized the OC stories have increased…by a ten-fold… I wonder if anyone (who's a prince of tennis fan) knows about dream novels? If not, please check out my bio and be amazed. (Believe me, you won't regret it) Now onward to the story:
Disclaimer: Don't own any of Tennis no Oujiama, nor Tenshi or Hikari for this and upcoming chapters. Also I don't own any of the games being incorporated in this story.
Chapter 1
Reawaken
Pairings: Momoshirou/Echizen, Inui/Kaidou, Dirty Pair, Silver Pair, Kamio/Ibu, hints of Atobe/Jirou, hints of Golden Pair
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
When he wakes up, all he can see is green…. Echizen Ryoma wakes up in a giant field in the middle of what seems to be nowhere. The sound of birds are everywhere, along with a faint sound of running water. Looking around, he notices the various bodies surrounding his own.
"Senpai-tachi!" Echizen cries out, confused and slightly startled at everyone's still bodies. Looking to the left, he notices his senpai, Momoshirou lying still beside him, eyes closed and almost lifeless. Startled by the sight before him, he quickly shakes the older boy.
"Momo-senpai! Wake up!" The worry tone in his voice surprised even himself, as he shakes Momoshirou even more violently.
Stirring from his unconscious mind, the older boy slowly opens his eyes and looks into Echizen's worried golden pupils. "Echizen? What… what happened?"
Momoshirou sits up and rubs his eyes, while trying to figure out what just happened. Echizen sighs quietly to himself, relieved that Momoshirou isn't hurt in any way. Realizing that his other senpais are still unconscious, Echizen quickly runs around, shaking awake the rest of the team.
"Wha-… Ochibi! What happened? Where are we?" Kikumaru Eiji sits up and looks around, sniffing the air. "I don't think we're in Japan anymore…"
"Eiji!" Kikumaru turns around and sees a very worried Oishi Shuuichirou, running up to him. Thanking the gods for the safety of his partner, Oishi looks thankfully into Eiji's own cerulean eyes.
"Oishi! Where are we nya?" Eiji questions, looking confusingly around his surroundings.
"I think Eiji is right… We might not be in Japan anymore…" Fuji Shuusuke walks up to a tree and examines the dark green leaves. "I've never seen this type of tree before."
"Ow… My head…" Kawamura Takashi gets up and rubs his head. "Fujiko, where's that man who was talking to us?"
"Right! And he tried to show us a weird mirror." Momoshirou jumps into the conversation.
Kaidou Kaoru closes his eyes and hisses. "It was after that that my eyes got tired and I can't remember what happened…"
"It seems we have been transported to another destination after we lost consciousness." Inui Sadaharu ponders the possibilities for a moment. "Depending on what day and time it currently is, we may be able to figure out where we can be."
"Are you saying we got shipped off to another country?" Echizen Ryoma frowns angrily at that possibility and groans.
"Tezuka, what should we do?" Oishi turns to Tezuka while comforting a crying Kikumaru.
Tezuka opens his eyes and exits from his thoughts. With a brief pause, he looks at all the members before telling them what he needs to say. "If you all listen for a minute, you may hear the faint sound of running water."
Doing as told, all the members close their eyes and listens intently for the sound of water. "Y-You're right…" Kawamura Takashi is the first to speak out. "But what does that have to do with the present situation?"
"Where there is running water, there is a village." Fuji smiles confidently. "Not bad, Tezuka."
With a nod, Tezuka explains. "We should look for the river and follow it downstream. Perhaps we may find a city or a village and ask for information from there."
Doing as told, the regulars split up into groups of two or one, searching the area for any traces of the said running water.
Kikumaru Eiji closes his eyes as Oishi Shuuichirou searches the area. By following his keen animal senses, Kikumaru maps out roughly the area where the water sounds are coming from in his mind. After a small 'Ah!', he drags Oishi's arm towards the source of the sound.
"Atta! Found it!" Kikumaru Eiji squeaks happily, prancing around a smiling Oishi.
The rest of the team gathers around the two and finds a small stream going towards somewhere behind thick trees. Deciding to follow it, the team starts their journey.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Owww… Kuso kuso, what the heck happened?!" An angry boy pounces up from where he laid two seconds ago, angry at the world. "Where is this?! It's freaking cold!" The red head screams into the field of snow and ice.
"Gakuto, calm down." Another boy stands up and adjusts his glasses. "And wake the others while you're at it."
"But Yuushi, why do I have to wake up the lazy Atobe?!" Gakuto exclaims, stomping around in the thick snow. "And Yuushi, it's cold!"
Oshitari Yuushi sighs and walks up to Mukahi Gakuto, slinging his hands around the smaller boy. "Now, feel warmer now?"
The smaller boy blushes slightly and smiles to himself, while still trying to remain a frown. "Ya…"
"Sorry to interrupt your little 'date' but where the hell are we?!" The sudden exclamation catches the two by surprise, as Oshitari Yuushi unwraps his arms around Mukahi Gakuto and turns around. "And where's Choutarou?!"
"Shishido-san, are you alright?" Shishido Ryou turns around and sees the younger boy, Ootori Choutarou struggling to stand in the thick snow. Struggling to walk over, Shishido waddles to his partner's side and holds him up. "Thank you, Shishido-san." The younger boy gives a small smile and tiny blush.
"Now look who's on a date?" Mukahi Gakuto yells, jumping up and down, trying to stay on top of the snow.
"Jumping will just make you fall deeper into the snow." Oshitari sighs and struggles over to the pouting red head. Accepting Oshitari's help, Mukahi holds onto Oshitari's hand and tries to keep from falling deeper into the never ending field of snow.
"Enough from all of you." A familiar annoying(to the other team members) and bossy voice attracts the two pair's attention. Standing on top of the snow perfectly fine and walking around in tip top shape is Atobe Keigo in all his glory.
"Shut up, Atobe. And how are you doing that?" Mukahi Gakuto gives Atobe Keigo a glare.
"Doing what?" Atobe plays innocent and smiles.
"Standing on the snow without falling in!" Mukahi Gakuto's glare deepens even more, if that's even possible.
"It's because Ore-sama is not fat." Atobe Keigo smirks as Mukahi nearly lunges himself at the captain and Oshitari trying to calm him down.
"Seriously, Atobe." Shishido gives Atobe a glare of his own. "You and I both know Mukahi's the lightest out of all of us."
Atobe gives a devilish smirk and brushes his hair with his hand. "Because Ore-sama has the brains to tell Kabaji to make Ore-sama some snow shoes, nahh, Kabaji?"
The giant standing behind Atobe gives a small but confident 'Usu'.
"Atobe, that's not something you should be proud of." Mukahi gives him a 'you-idiot…' glance, and then focuses on standing again.
"Think whatever you want, Mukahi. But Ore-sama is the last one standing right?" Atobe continues to glorify himself while Oshitari tries to tie down the angry red head.
"Atobe-san… Where are we?" Just then, another member of Hyoutei Academy awakens from the slumber and looks around while trying to stand.
"Ahh, Hiyoshi…" Atobe greets the younger boy. "Can anyone here tell Ore-sama what happened?" he demands, staring at the others, who exchanges confused glances.
Oshitari is the first to speak up from the group. "If I remember right, we were in that huge mansion, and some girl with blue streaked hair and sky blue eyes was talking to us."
"She looked really suspicious… Especially when she pulled out that weird looking mirror!" Mukahi exclaims.
"I just remember blacking out after the mirror incident… I wonder what happened after that?" Ootori Choutarou questions, while supporting his partner, Shishido Ryou.
"We got shipped to the north pole is what happened." Shishido curses, kicking the snow in anger.
"I don't think we're in the north pole…" Hiyoshi Wakashi states, while looking around the pure white surroundings. "There's snow, but it's not extremely cold."
"…Hey, where's Jirou?" Atobe demands, looking around on the ground for a sleeping member of Hyoutei tennis team.
"Akutagawa-senpai? I haven't seen him since I woke up." Ootori politely replies.
Mukahi curses as he accidentally falls knee-deep into the snow. "Dammit, maybe he is covered by all this snow."
Slightly angry, Atobe demands for a search team to scout out Akutagawa Jirou and rescue him from the snow. So since it's their captain, and the team doesn't have any grudges against the usually sleeping boy, they decide to do as told and dig around for Akutagawa Jirou.
-o-o-o-
"Welcome back, Tenshi… Hikari…" The man who encountered with Seigaku turns his chair to two girls who just stepped into the dark room. One had a green streak in her hair and the other, a light pink streak.
"Do you think they have the potential to save them?" The girl with the pink streak questions, walking up towards the man, holding out the mirror.
"I don't think they have what it takes. I'm still not confident of this plan." The other, with the green streak complains, handing a CD to the man.
The man smiles confidently at the two and accepts the CD. Turning on his chair, he types something into the computer and inserts the CD. "Believe in their power and your own. We can only depend on them now."
"It's as Dis says." Another girl appears at the doorway, this one with a blue streak. "Trust in them, and in yourselves."
"Whatever, Azure." The green girl turns around and crosses her arms. "So are we going or not?"
"Whenever you're ready." The pink girl holds out the mirror in her hands. "Just tell me when."
From the doorway, a very sleepy and tired boy peers at the conversation between the four, with drowsy eyes. The orange haired boy can't hear their conversation well, as he is very tired. When he woke up, he was in a bed, and beside him in another bed is Atobe, and in another bed is Oshitari. Around him, are all the players of Hyoutei, sleeping motionlessly, without even a breath. Confused and wanting to drink some water, Akutagawa Jirou drags himself out of the comfy bed and looks around the giant mansion only to come across the four.
Without realizing it, Akutagawa Jirou hits the wall as he walks on. The sudden noise alerts the other four and the blue girl, who is the closest to the door, lunges at Akutagawa and holds him down. "Who are you?!"
The boy, now awake, only muffled a quite 'eep' and looks up to see the girl with pink hair holding out the mirror. After realizing his situation and staring deep into the mirror, he once again, falls unconscious.
-o-o-o-
"Ahhh, whatever, I give up! I think he died already." Mukahi complains, sitting down on the snow, only to sink in more. "I'm sick of digging for a dead corpse!"
"Jirou is NOT dead!" Atobe yells, glaring angrily at the boy. "And keep searching!"
"Why don't you do something then, Atobe!" Shishido screams back. "Don't just stand there!"
"Shut up and keep looking, Shishido." Atobe responses coolly.
Suddenly, out of no where, a sudden heavy object falls directly on Atobe, ramming him into the snow. The other watch, some surprised and shocked while others laughing evilly.
"It's karma, Atobe!" Gakuto laughs on. "It's finally kicking you in the butt!"
Atobe, more angry than ever, managed to muffle a yell. "KABAJI! Get this thing OFF me!"
Doing as told, Kabaji reaches down and picks up the 'thing' that fell on Atobe and helps the captain to his feet again.
"What dares to fall on top of Ore-sama?!" Atobe's anger quickly dissipates as he realizes that 'thing' that fell on Atobe is none other than Akutagawa Jirou. "Jirou?!"
"Good timing, Jirou, you fell right ON Atobe!" Shishido snickers. The death glare given by Atobe quickly silences him.
"Kabaji, wake Jirou. Now."
"Usu." The boy does as commanded and shakes Akutagawa awake.
Waking from his odd slumber, he slowly opens his eyes. "Ahh? Kabaji? Where's that girl?" He sleepily asks.
"Girl?" Atobe questions with an annoyed tone. "What girl?"
Akutagawa Jirou rubs his eyes and tries to stand in the cold snow. "Ahh? I think I was dreaming."
"Of a girl?" Atobe's words sounds edgy and sharp, lunging at an immune Akutagawa Jirou.
Akutagawa shakes his head and looks at Atobe in the eye. "Never mind… Where are we, Atobe?"
Atobe crosses his arms. "Ore-sama would like someone to answer that too."
Everyone remains quiet. Because, really, is there somewhere in Japan that snows THIS much?!
"Look, Atobe." Oshitari calmly proclaims, pointing to the sky, as smoke is seen. "Where there is smoke there's fire. And where there's fire in a 'koori no sekai' like this, there are people." Oshitari explains.
"Very well, Oshitari. Let's go there and ask for directions." Nodding in unison, the team decides to go wherever the smoke is coming from, hopefully to find shelter.
"By the way, Akutagawa-senpai… Where did you fly down from?" As they struggle through the snow fields, Ootori decides to lighten up the mood and start a conversation with the rest of the team.
Akutagawa ponders for a moment, and sleepily answers, "I dunno."
"Maybe a giant bird picked him up and dropped him down on Atobe." Mukahi snickers, but is quickly silenced by Oshitari.
"Maybe God just wants to kick Atobe in the ass." Shishido continues off where Mukahi left off and snickers even more.
"Shishido-san, please don't angry Atobe-san." Ootori tries to stop his partner from bringing the end of the world by pissing THE Atobe off. Or worse off, make Shishido lose his regulars spot… again.
Atobe tries to ignore all this back-talk about him and focus on trudging through the icy fields. But in his mind, he is a little boggled by how Jirou just fell out of the sky like that…
-o-o-o-o-o-
Slap!
Kirihara Akaya jumps up after feeling a sharp pain on his cheek, looking directly at his vice captain's stern eyes. "S-Sanada fuku-buchou!"
"It's good to see you awake, Akaya." Kirihara turns around to see gentle, dark blue eyes of Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku's tennis team captain, Yukimura Seiichi.
"Now that even Akaya is awake… We can focus at the problem at hand." A boy with glasses and dark purple hair looks around their surroundings and sighs. "Japan isn't a place full of deserts… So where are we?"
"Yagyuu, are you sure there are no deserts in Japan?" A silver haired boy asks. "Maybe they do, and you just don't know about it."
"Stupid Niou, if you pay attention in geography class you might know that too." A pink haired boy closes his eyes and sighs while blowing a bubble. "Right, Jackel?"
"Why are you asking me?" Kuwahara Jackel asks, looking troubled.
The pink haired boy turns to his doubles partner and frowns. "You're supposed to say 'Usu' like that big guy from that whatever school!" Kuwahara gives the boy a troubled look.
"You mean Hyoutei Academy, Marui-kun." Yanagi Renji states, standing beside Sanada Genichirou.
"That's all great and all, senpai-tachi… but, where are we?" Kirihara Akaya asks, rubbing his cheek.
"That… We are not sure ourselves…" Yukimura Seiichi answers, looking worriedly at the tennis team.
"Some weird girl with pink haired showed us a mirror and we blacked out." Niou Masaharu, the silver haired boy answers, looking slightly confused at his own words.
"That doesn't sound logical at all…" Yanagi Renji mumbles to himself as the others discuss the current problem.
"They somehow shipped us out of Japan?!" Marui Bunta, the pink haired self proclaimed prodigy squeaks, popping his bubble gum at the process.
"That's the only explanation we can get for our situation." Yagyuu Hiroshi, the purple haired boy with glasses speaks up while adjusting his glasses.
"What should we do?!" Kuwahara Jackel panics, pacing back and forth in the sand.
"Until we find out where exactly we are, we shouldn't panic." Sanada commands.
Yukimura nods. "It's as Geinichirou says. Let's just try to find out where we should go first. The desert can get violent at night."
"Wait a second…" Kirihara stops as he realizes something important. "What… What is Yukimura Buchou doing here?! Isn't he back in the hospital?"
Yukimura smiles at Kirihara. "Thank you for your concern Akaya, but somehow, when I woke up from my sleep in the hospital, I woke up next to Genichirou. I'm not sure what happened either."
"But… Then they kidnapped Yukimura Buchou too?!" Kirihara exclaims, worried.
"We talked to Yukimura before you woke up." Yanagi Renji explains. "Since Yukimura doesn't have a disease he's dying from, only that he is getting ready for surgery, it would not hurt for him to come with us and find out why and how we're here. But of course once we get back to Japan, Yukimura will be going back to the hospital."
"As for now, we will have to protect Buchou until we get back to Japan." Niou explains calmly, grinning.
"Is there a problem, Kirihara-kun?" Yagyuu asks.
Kirihara stammers a bit in his response. "N-no, but it's just… I thought…"
"As long as we protect Yukimura, everything will be fine." Sanada growls at Kirihara, daring him to say 'no'.
Kirihara sighs at his senpais' calmness in such a situation and nods. "I understand…"
"Now, let us go then." Yanagi nods, and is about to start walking when Kirihara once again interrupts the group.
"Sorry but… where are we going?" Kirihara questions, puzzled.
"Over there." Marui Bunta points to the far distant, where something resembling a city can be seen. "Sanada fukubuchou and Yanagi thinks it's a city."
"Oh…" Kirihara responses, peering to the distant city. "I see…"
"Then, shall we be going?" Yanagi asks once again. Kirihara nods in response, and the group starts their journey.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Where… am I?" Ibu Shinji, second year tennis player of Fudomine Chuu looks around his surroundings just to be surprised by the amount of cliffs, bushes, and most of all… giant flowers around him. "Akira? Where are you?" He calls out quietly to his surroundings, only to be replied by a small buzzing sound. "It seems we have lost each other… it's his fault… for telling me to come to this stupid camp… even though Tachibana-san said it's suspicious…"
As Ibu Shinji mumbles on, a sudden scream catches his attention, and a gust of wind blows past him. Wait… That's no wind….
"RHYTHM NI NORUZE!!!!" Kamio Akira dashes past the calm teen, running for his life. After about three meters away, he notices the stunned Ibu and stops just in time and grabs his hand. "Come on! Don't just sit there, Shinji!" Kamio yells, and starts dashing off once again.
"I don't understand why you're running off like this… It's like you're running from something… but there's nothing here…" Ibu continues to mumble as Kamio dashes for his life.
"Look behind us!" Kamio manages to shout while still running through bushes and plants.
Doing as told, Ibu turns his head around just to see the world's biggest grasshopper cross with a praying mantis running after them with blood-lust eyes. The arms are equipped with bone-piercing blades, and eyes thirsty for blood.
"What is that? Some grasshopper and praying mantis bug? It sure is big… I wonder what type of species that bug is…" Ibu calmly mumbles as Kamio, nearly in tears, runs for his life.
"Ah, Akira, you might want to stop… There seems to be a cliff in front of you." Ibu mumbles. Hearing that, the red haired boy tries to stop, but he knows he won't make it. Just before he falls, he throws Ibu to the side and twists his ankle in the process. "Akira!" Ibu yells, as Kamio falls down the steep cliff, screaming.
"Akira! Akira! Are you alright?!" Ibu crawls over and looks down at Kamio, sitting at the bottom of the cliff. He turns his head up to Ibu and smiles.
"I'm glad you're safe, Shinji… Owowow…" Kamio grasps his leg. "I think I broke something…" He murmurs to himself so Ibu can't hear him.
"Jeeze, all you do is run around, that's why you fell like that. And you even tossed me to the side and broke your ankle. Stupid Akira, if I fell with you, you wouldn't have had to hurt your ankle." Ibu continues to mumble as the world's biggest grasshopper and praying mantis mix approaches the concerned boy.
"Shinji! Behind you!" Kamio screams as Ibu, hearing the warning, turns around to face the giant green bug.
"Duck, Ibu-san desu!" Ibu, not know what the heck is happening, quickly ducks just in time as a flying rock smacks the bug in the back of the head, causing its attention to change to the 5 people emerging from the bushes.
"Get out of the way, Teme!" The silver haired boy screams, as he cracks his knuckles. His right arms is wrapped up and seems to be bleeding slightly.
"Akutsu-senpai! Don't pick another fight, desu! Your arm is hurt desu!" Taichi Dan of Yamabuki Chuu's Tennis team, a young boy with a green headband tries to stop Akutsu Jin from going after the bug.
"Well then, let's test our luck for today." Sengoku Kiyosumi, an orange-haired boy takes another rock and aims for the bug's eye. With pinpoint accuracy, he throws the rock and it does smack the bug in the eye, as it staggers back and trips over Ibu, falling down the cliff beside Kamio. "Oh, Lucky!"
"EEK!!" Kamio screams, as he tries to scoot away from the bug that is nothing more than a corpse now.
"Are you alright, Fudo-san's Ibu Shinji?" Sengoku Kiyosumi walks up towards Ibu and holds out a hand for him.
Ignoring Sengoku, Ibu continues to complain. "Jeeze, if you guys came earlier, then Kamio wouldn't have to fall and get hurt like that. But I guess it's ok, since you did just save me."
"According to my data, if we keep picking up the rocks along the way and throwing them at those bugs, we won't be in too much trouble." Mizuki Hajime of St. Rudolph Tennis team laughs to himself, as another member of St. Rudolph catches up with them, holding a ton of rocks in his hands.
"Mizuki-san, don't you think this is a bit too much?" Fuji Yuuta frowns, trying not to drop any of the rocks.
"Don't worry Yuuta-kun, you're doing a great job, Nfufufu." Mizuki closes his eyes and twirls his hair.
"Ibu-san, where's Kamio-san?" Fuji Yuuta asks.
"Akira was an idiot and fell." Ibu explains, for once, in a short sentence.
"Shinji, just get me out of here!" Kamio yells from under the cliff, holding onto his leg.
Suddenly, a rustling sound comes from the bush beside Kamio. Nearly jumping from the sound, he looks over, crossing his fingers for it NOT to be another grasshopper-praying mantis mutant.
From the green bush emerges a small winged dragon with a tiny body and big head. Its red eyes shines with innocence and little white body bobs up and down with excitement.
Sighing in relief, Kamio looks over to it. "Wow, this is kinda cute…" Just as he says that, the weird dragon-like creature opens its mouth and growls. Sharp, bone-piercing teeth shines in the light, and from the throat, something red seems to be coming out… "Oh Shit!" Kamio launches himself forward as a fireball misses him by a hair.
"Akira, are you alright?" Ibu asks, looking down at the struggling boy.
"DO I LOOK ALRIGHT TO YOU?!" Kamio screams, trying to crawl away from the demon. "Ow… Dammit, I can't move my leg…"
"We'll be right down, Fudo-san's Kamio Akira-kun!" Sengoku yells over the cliff as him and the others dashes off to find a way down the cliff.
"Dammit…" The dragon sneers at Kamio and opens its mouth again, ready for another fireball. "I'm so dead…"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Watch your step, Kaidou." Inui Sadaharu calmly announces as Kaidou Kaoru accidentally steps into a slippery area and falls. Just before he hit the ground, Inui holds onto his arm and pulls him back up. "See? You have to be more careful in a place you're not used to."
Kaidou blushes madly and pulls free from Inui's grasp. "T-thank you senpai…" He hurries and walks up to the others as Inui looks confusingly at Kaidou.
"How much further?" Momoshirou complains, dragging his feet.
"After we get past these trees, and down that hill." Fuji responses, as calm as ever.
"That's so far away!" Kikumaru joins in on the complaining.
"Eiji, don't be like that… we're almost there." Oishi comforts his partner.
"I know but…" Kikumaru suddenly pauses as a quick flash caught his attention. Looking to the side, he stares at a motionless bush, as if something is going to jump out any second.
"Eiji? What's the matter?" Kawamura Takashi asks, patting Eiji's shoulder.
"Shh… There's something there!" He points at the push, looking hard at whatever that may be there.
"Are you sure you're not just seeing things?" Fuji asks, concerned.
"I have the best eyesight in Seigaku!" Eiji announces. "And I swear I saw something jumping into that bush, nya!"
"Whatever it is, don't let your guard down." Tezuka commands.
Echizen looks boringly at the bush, half paying attention. "Mada mada ssuyo, Kikumaru-sen-" Suddenly, the whatever that's in the bush jumps out at Echizen, fangs bared and ready to bite. Being one of the regulars for Seigaku's Tennis Team, Echizen side steps with his quick reflexes, and the whatever misses and turns around, growling.
"What the… It's only a rabbit." Momoshirou laughs at Echizen's surprised expression. "You got scared by a bunny!"
"It's not funny!" Echizen yells back, blushing slightly.
"Wait everyone." Inui sounds concerned. "It doesn't look like an ordinary rabbit. Look at its eyes, it's glowing red."
Doing as told, the regulars advert their eyes to the rabbit, only to see blood-lust present in red eyes.
"That's… scary, nya…" Kikumaru shivers, tugging on Oishi's jacket.
"Don't let your guard down, everyone." Tezuka commands again.
As the rabbit changes target and stares at Inui, who steps back slightly shocked, it growls and launches itself at Inui. Just before it hit, Kaidou jumps in the way and blocks the rabbit's sharp fangs with his arm.
"Kaidou…" Inui gasps. Kaidou winces at the sharp pain going down his arm, and quickly flings the rabbit off to the side. Crimson blood drips down his arm and two fang holes are present. "Your arm, let me see it."
"It's nothing, senpai… Be careful." Kaidou hisses.
The rabbit angrily turns around and is ready to launch at Kaidou again when Momoshirou grabs a nearby huge log and swings it at the rabbit, killing it instantly. "Kaidou, don't let your guard down, like Tezuka Buchou said!"
"I don't need to hear that from you!" Kaidou yells back, slumping to the ground, holding onto his arm.
Inui knees down beside Kaidou and touches his arm just to hear a very tiny yelp come out of Kaidou's mouth. Concerned, Inui takes out his new notebook and rips up the pages.
"Inui-senpai, what are you doing?!" Kaidou exclaims, surprised.
"Kawamura, can you go to the river and soak up these pages with water?" Inui asks, handing him some shredded notebook paper. Nodding in response, he takes the paper and rushes to the bank.
"Inui-senpai, those were your notebook pages! You can't…" Kaidou exclaims.
"Stopping the blood comes first." Inui frowns. "Don't worry about the notebook, data can be recollected, but if you lose too much blood, you might be in danger." Inui looks into Kaidou's eyes with confidence.
Kaidou looks away and nods, a small blush creeping up on his cheeks.
"Ya, so don't go throwing your blood away like that, Mamushi." Momoshirou grins at the boy, who replies with a loud hiss.
"We're almost at the city. I can see the city walls." Tezuka explains, pointing to a huge brick wall.
"It looks more like a castle if you ask me." Oishi tilts his head and looks at the city.
"Ah, an open gate…" Echizen points to a opening where he sees some people entering the city and some leaving. "… It looks medieval…"
"I agree with Echizen on that one… It doesn't seem like it's anything modern." Fuji puts a hand on his chin and ponders.
"I'm back!" Kawamura runs back towards Inui and hands him the soaked pieces of paper.
"This is the best we have so far, when we get into the city, we'll look for a hospital for you." Inui explains, taking the soaked pieces of paper and cleaning off the blood, and trying to stop the bleeding as best as he could.
Kaidou answers with a "Fushuuuu" and closes his eyes, trying to focus on something aside from the pain or the fact that Inui's treating his wound.
AzureBluePhoenix: How you guys like the start? It seems to be getting troublesome for the schools, especially Fudomine/Yamabuki/St. Rudolph.
Next chapter: Hyoutei encounters a boss monster! Rikkaidai encounters a… dancing cactus?! Get ready for the next chapter everyone!
I planned to write further than this originally for chapter 1… but I couldn't cause the chapter was getting just way too long and I wanted to read some fanfics, lol.
-o-o-o-o-o-
Fudo-san: Sengoku's pun he made for Fudomine.
Special Note: I just noticed, by the timeline I placed the story in, Yukimura should NOT be there as a tennis player, so a lame excuse was made up for him… but then I realized Tezuka should not be there either… His shoulder's still dead… Oh man, I'm so sorry everyone. It's too late to change that, so all I can do is apologize. Sorry everyone.
