Chapter 2. Peace is Ryoma's sister?
"Peace?!" Fuji opens his eyes and asked with interest.
"Nya, Fuji, don't tell me you don't know who Peace is? Nya!" Eiji asked bouncing up and down in excitement.
"Ah! You are talking about the pop-singer, right?" Eiji nodded. "I heard some of her songs before, they are very nice. So, doushita?" Fuji said, his smile never fade away.
"Doushita? Doushita? Fuji-sempai doesn't you know that she" Momo pointing to the girl they just met "is the 'Peace' we are talking about?" Momo said in disbelief.
"Ii, data…" Inui mumbled to himself while writing down notes.
"Ah, so you are Peace-san ka?" Oishi asked the girl they just met as gentle as ever.
"Hai, sorry for all these trouble." Peace said bowing down to apologise.
"Lie, we are the one who is willing to hel…" before Oishi can finish his sentence, Eiji barges in.
"Peace-san, nya! I'm your biggest fan, nya. Can you give me your autograph, nya?" the ever so 'hyperactive acrobatic' player said.
"Me too, me too. I want your autograph too!: Momo said in excitement.
On the other hand, among the Regulars, there an individual minds deep in thought.
'She looks awfully familiar, but I can't remember.' Ryoma thought while observing Peace's features.
"Just call me Izumi, 'Peace' is just my name as a Singer. Most of my friends call me 'Izumi', I treat you guys as my friends, so just 'Izumi' will do. Now here the autograph." Izumi said and at the same time hand the autographs to all the Regulars, including Taka-san.
Sound of 'arigato' or 'domo' were heard when Izumi (aka Peace) gave them the autograph. They were now chatting about Izumi's career and eating Taka-san's newest recipe. At the same time Ryoma was deeply in thought again the word 'Izumi' seem to ring a bell in his mind. 'Izumi? Is it possible that she is …'
Just as he was about to come up with a familiar name he was snapped out of his thought by Tezuka's question.
"Daijoubu ka? You look rather distract" there was shown of concern in Tezuka's voice.
"Lie, nandemonai. I'm fine." Ryoma lied and this didn't go unnoticed by Tezuka.
Tezuka, having dated Ryoma for years, know that boy wonder would not tell him if he did not want to, so he had no choice but dismiss the matter.
Ryoma on the other hand went back to his thought. When he was more confident of Izumi's identity, he decided to ask Izumi some question to reassure. Before he cold open his mouth to ask, someone barged into the shop.
"Izumi ne-chan, I finally found you. If you don't hurry up, we are going to be late for your recordings." the newcomer, who is a girl said.
"Ah! Yumi-chan, you are here." Izumi said , then she turned to the Regulars, "Sorry guys, I need to get going. Here my email address and hand phone number, feel free to call me if you need help." With that, she greet them goodbye and went off.
A while later, after Izumi had left, Ryoma stood up and said, "I'm sorry, but I feel a little tired, so I will take my leave first."
"Unya! Ochibi, you are leaving already?" Eiji said sounding a little disappointed, everyone knew that Eiji had a soft spot for the baby of the group.
"Un. I really tired, I think I really need to get some rest." With that Ryoma started to leave the shop.
"I think I will send him home." Tezuka said and followed after boy wonder.
They walked in silence for a few minutes until Tezuka decide to start a conversation. It is not that they really mind the silence, but seeing Ryoma being distracted made him rather uncomfortable.
"Ryoma," Tezuka began "if there is anything that bother you, you can always talk to me you know."
"Nande? What made you think that there something disturbing me?" Ryoma also growl but softer his voice when he saw Tezuka's concerned face.
"Because you look distracted, but if you don't want to tell me, it's ok," Tezuka said.
Once again they remain in silence until Ryoma started to speak again.
"I… you know about Izumi, I think… s-she my sister." Ryoma said, his sounded sad.
"Sister? You have a sister?" Tezuka asked with interesting.
(Craze: When Tezuka is alone with Ryoma he is able to express more, he is not as stoic as around the others or during practices.)
"She left the house six years ago, we haven't heard from her all these years and I was busy with tennis, so I forget to tell you guys." Ryoma said.
"Are you positive that, Izumi-san is your sister?" Tezuka asked.
"I'm positive, beside my sister name is Izumi and they look alike too. But…" Ryoma stopped, his expression became more depressed every time he talks about Izumi.
As they talked, they had already reached Ryoma's house. Seeing Ryoma's sad expression, Tezuka pulled him into an embrace, kissing boy wonder gently on the lips and said. "Everything will be solved soon, now you will go home and get a good rest, we still have morning practice tomorrow." Tezuka kissed Ryoma again before he break the kiss and bid Ryoma goodbye.
"Ja, make sure to get a good rest." Tezuka said, waved goodbye and walked towards the direction of his house.
Ryoma walked into his house and said, "Tadaima," feeling very tired after such a shocked day.
"Okaerinasai. Ara? Ryoma-san you look very tired." Nanako (Ryoma's cousin) said with concern.
"I had a long day, where kaa-san?" Ryoma asked.
"Obaa-sama, she is in the kitchen preparing dinner, doushita no?"
"Lie, I just need to ask her some question."
"Well, I'll call her. Obaa-sama, Ryoma-san says he needs to talk to you." Nanako called out to Rinko (Ryoma's mother).
In the living room, Ryoma waited for his mother to get ready. His mother came out of the kitchen with an awfully happy looked.
"Kaa-san, you look really happy, anything good happen today?"
"Well, Obaa-sama heard from the news that Peace-san, the pop-singer, has moved to Japan and well, Obaa-sama is a big fan of Peace-san." Nanako replied for Rinko.
"I saw her today." Ryoma said.
"Where? Where you saw her?" Rinko asked.
"On the street, she is being chased by some men…" before Ryoma could finish Rinko cut him off.
"Nani? Is she ok? Is she hurt?" Rinko asked anxiously.
"She is fined, we save her and later on she joins us to Kawamura-sempai's sushi shop." Ryoma said his face expressionless.
"Really? That good to hear." Rinko said finally relaxed after hearing that Peace is safe.
"Ne, Kaa-san, why are you so worried about Peace?"
"Is there anything that you are hiding from me?"
"No, of course not, why do I need to hide things from you? I'm worried because she is…" before Rinko finished, Ryoma cut off her sentence.
"Because she is Izumi, deshou?" Ryoma asked.
"I-I…"
"She is Izumi ne-chan then," Ryoma asked again.
Rinko sighed in defeat, "I know she told me not to tell anyone, but it seems I had no choice. Peace is Izumi, your sister."
"Why? Why do you hide it from me? Why did she leave six years ago? You knew it all along right? Nande?" Ryoma asked in anger with hint of sadness.
"She told me not to tell, and I really don't know the reason behind why she leaves, but yes, I knew that she is Peace all along and she is fine all this years." Rinko said with sadness too, seeing her son reaction.
"I hate all of you!" with this Ryoma quickly ran to his bedroom living Rinko and Nanako in the living room.
At the same time Nanjirou walked in and saw Ryoma dashed passed, "Oi, shounen!" and he looked into the living room finding the atmosphere rather weird.
"Shh! I think it's better to leave him a lone for the time being for him to calm down." Rinko said.
"You told him, didn't you?" Nanjirou asked. Rinko nodded.
"Ah! He is still a brat, come on let's start the dinner."
In Ryoma's bedroom, he was crying, he seldom let others know about his feeling other than Tezuka and Izumi. 'Nande? Why do you have to leave? Izumi, nande?' After deep in thought, he finally drifts to sleep due to tiredness and sadness.
