Warnings: I am not sure if they will be Yaoi (Boys Love), but I am placing it here just encase there should be any in future chapters. Language, Sadisms, OOC...

Pairing: Saa...We shall see as the story progresses. I am not sure if the story will have one yet or not. But for now, it is a friendship fic...

Summary: A vacation is just what they needed. But what happens when a supposedly fun vacation meant for relaxation and recreation turns into horror and a fight for survival. The group must come together or lose their lives.

The news

and...

Yuukyuu no Tsuki

An hour later found the group who had been an unsuspecting victim to the horror that is Inui juice, awakening. The first to move was Sanada, then Oshitari and Kabaji followed by Sakaki and the others.

The Seigaku regulars, Ryuuzaki and Yukimura turned their heads to look at the group. Momoshiro, Eiji, Fuji and the Rikkai buchou were outright smiling at them while Ryoma and Kaidoh were smirking (Ryuuzaki was as well, though her stare was on the Hyotei coach), Inui ready to record data, Oishi and Taka seemed worried and Tezuka just stared blankly at them.

After getting their barings back, the Rikkaidai team looked towards Seigaku with annoyed looks but didn't dare to make a scene especially when their captain looked at them with the 'stay silent' smile or risk Sanada's wrath.

Sakaki narrowed his eyes at Ryuuzaki, "That was uncalled for."

"Maa maa, Ryoma-kun warned all of you that Inui's juice were to die for." she smirked, ignoring the younger coach's scowl. "I had to drink Aozu as well, just be thankful that your not threatened to drink it every day like the rest of my boys are."

Rikkaidai hearing that statement couldn't help but shiver. If Seigaku was threatened to drink that horrid juice every-day it was no wonder why they were so strong this year. They pitied those poor fools and thanked every Kami they could think of that Yanagi didn't make any hazardous drinks.

Gakuto immediatly leaped from the ground, a glare directed at his rival, "That was a rotten trick carrot head!" He yelled, brows ticking when the only response he was given was EIji's wider smile as he stuck his tongue out.

Never one to let an insult slide, Ryoma turned his head to stare at the acrobat from Hyotei under the brim of his white cap, a 'tsk' sound escaped plump lips, "Gakuto-senpai, I thought it was just juice!" his eyes glittered, "Didn't you say we were a wuss for being scared of Inui's Juice?" snorting the pillar of Seigaku leaned back into his seat, "Mada mada dane, I guess that will make you a wuss as well."

Gakuto opened his mouth to retort, glaring at the snickering group, when the 'magnificent' and 'glorious' ore-sama decided to deign the group with his 'beautiful' and 'awe-inspiring' voice, "Ore-sama blames you for this brat! You were the one who gave your data man the name of the drinks that he gave to us. How dare you make ore-sama drink such a vile concoction!" raged Atobe as he glared at the smirking figure who looked at him with defiant eyes that swirled with colors of the forest, a mix of gold, brown and green.

Not appreciating the way Hyotei's buchou was looking at their baby, Tezuka and Fuji, whose eyes were open, the blue glittering like icy diamonds, stared at the diva for his comment towards Ryoma while the rest of team looked on silently watching the other teams reaction.

"Watch how you speak to Ryo-chan, Atobe, or you'll find out just how vindictive I can be." Fuji's soft voice cut through the group like butter knife though, well, butter.

Huffing, Atobe sat back in his seat, he did not feel like dancing with Seigaku's sadist knowing how protective the boy was over the baby of the team, heck the whole Seigaku team was protective over the brat and with his great insight, Atobe was aware of the fondness that the Rikkai buchou held for the 'prince of tennis'. it was the same tenderness that was shown to Rikkai's own baby. Kirihara Akaya. Jeeze, what was with the sadists having 'babies' it made it harder to pick on them.

Shaking his head, Atobe looked over towards his best friend, Yuushi who was currently patting his partners shoulders offering the redhead some form of comfort. If he was completely honest with himself, he knew everyone was fond of that brat in some way; and yes, unfortunately, that meant him too. He had no clue how that annoying kid had wormed his way into his heart, but he did. There was just something about Echizen Ryoma that lures you in. You either loved him or you hated him there was just no in between.

Footsteps heading in their direction caused the entire group to turn and watched as a man in his mid thirties walked over. His black hair was slick back and brown eyes scanned the group trying to locate an adults amongst the teenagers. And upon spotting two of them, he made his way towards them.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice." As soon as he spoke, all attention was directed to him, "My name is Minamoto Kouichi and I represent Koboyashi Law firm." he held out an vanilla colored folder, "This arrived to our boss a few days ago.

Ryuuzaki eyed the folder with a frown, "Who is it for? And why did you request three different schools to be here?" the stern woman questioned.

"The folder is addressed to one Echizen Ryoma-kun!" Kouichi stated and gulped when several glares bored holes into his head. Who knew teenage boys could be so scary after mentioning a single name. "Uh..."

Tezuka stood up, "And what is this about?"

"We aren't sure." Kouichi took a step back, "Like I said, this showed up at the bosses office with no note or anything, just a name Echizen Ryoma."

Fuji walked over with his benevolent smile and grabbed the folder before handing it over to Tezuka, who nodded his head and opened it. Grabbing the rather large envelope, resembling something a photographer would use for their photo's, and turned it over.

After opening it, Tezuka took the contents from inside. A ring of keys, pictures and a letter. Handing the other two objects towards Ryoma, who took them in confusion, he glanced at his captain waiting to hear what the letter said.

Echizen Ryoma,

It gives me great joy to be sending these things to you as you are the sole inheriter of everything that once belonged to your many great grandfather. Inherit what you maybe questioning, well my dear boy, it's quite easy... The Echizen family home that has been in your family for a long time, but there is a condition that must first be met. In order for you to obtain your inheritance, you must first survive a month living in the house, with no adults present. This will ensure that you have what it takes to make it on your own like any real Echizen.

In the envelope there is a ring of keys, those are the keys to all the rooms, don't lose them for there aren't any other copies for it. The photo's are of the house, inside, outside, the rooms and the garden, everything.

Any and all friends you wish to invite are welcome as long as they aren't above eighteen years of age. Remember, a month with no adults. The house comes furnished with everything that you need and you will find about a hundred thousand yen to restock on items if needed.

The Echizen family mansion is located on the outskirts of Tokyo, hidden deep within the Kyuubi forest. Rumors say that the guardian spirit that has protected the family for years still resides there, waiting for his new master to make an appearance. Well, anyways, the name gifted to your family home is, 'Yuukyuu no Tsuki, the eternal moon. Pretty, ne?

Well I'll leave it at that. If you decide to claim your inheritance, then you and those your taking are to meet at Kyuubi forest and one of my employee's and myself will escort you to your home for the next month, Yuukyuu no Tsuki.

Hope to see you there,

Tanaka, Yuu

Silence reigned supreme after Tezuka finished reading the letter.

"Heir...to a mansion...?" murmured Ryoma as he rose an eyebrow.

Fuji smiled while rubbing his chin, "Saa...sounds fun, ne. Staying at a mansion with no parents. But the question still stands, why is Hyotei and Rikkai here?"

"We heard that the Atobe heir was friends with Echizen-kun and didn't wish to be sued should anything happen. As for Rikkaidai, we thought you were friends with them as well, was that wrong?"

Fuji shook his head, "No." he opened his eyes a bit, "So we can all go with Ryo-chan to his family mansion?"

Kouichi nodded his head in affirmative.

Tezuka turned to the man and bowed, "We will discuss this with Echizen and if we agree we wil meet you on the outskirts of Tokyo, near Kyuubi forest."

"Okay." Kouichi nodded his head and bowed, "I'll take my leave, now. And thank you for your time."

-Saturday-

Kouichi and his boss had just left Seigaku at the gates of Yuukyuu no Tsuki when Hyotei and Rikkaidai arrived. It seemed everyone wanted a month away from their parents.

Unlocking the lock from the gate, Seigaku entered first followed by Rikkai then Hyotei. Each of the boys looked around in awe at the sight.

"Wow, this place is really pretty!" commented Ohtori as he smiled towards the younger boy "Your lucky to have inherit such a place, Echizen-kun"

Ryoma tugged at his cap, "Aa, domo!"

Atobe sniffed and crossed his arms, "Ore-sama has seen better!"

"Che. Monkey king, no asked for your opinion." murmured Ryoma as he walked to stand in between his captain and the tensai as he took in the sight of the place. From the corner of his eyes, he saw something move, causing golden-green eyes to turn and tilt his head upwards, towards one of the upstairs window, and blinked when he saw a dark figure standing their before it vanished.

Ryoma furrowed his brows and shook his head before turning his head when he felt a touch on his shoulder only to see both Fuji and Tezuka looking at him in concern.

"Are you alright, Ryoma-chan." The tensai questioned.

"Un" Ryoma nodded his head. "I thought I saw something."

Tezuka furrowed his brows, "Well come on then; we're going inside."

Ryoma inclined his head and followed his two seniors.

From the upstairs window, a figure stood within the shadows observing the group, it wasn't long before his blood red eyes trained themselves upon the three that just entered the house. His eyes zeroed in on the shortest of the three. And feral smirk graced his lips.

"Your finally home, Echizen Ryoma!"

1. When I stated that Atobe didn't feel like dancing with Seigaku's tensai, for those who didn't understand, it basically means Atobe knows NOT to mess around with Fuji, especially when Ryo-chan is involved.
