Author Note: Okay this is a bit of a time skip. Like ten years of a skip but the schooling and other stuff is not the biggest thing of the story. Oh and yes I have changed my name thanks to my friend LadyCrazyMonkeyPants who lets me bounce ideas of her during Chemistry I. It is perverted or gross if you think about it to hard. Oh be warned that soon LadyCrazyMonkeyPants and I are going to come out with a OT5 story but we are still working on it so it will be awhile because we can't decide how to start the damn thing.

I would love to thank everyone who reviewed for my first chapter. Okay this is also going to be a real chapter and not a song fic like the last chapter. That was just, I don't know, to catch the mood of the story or something.

A Blind Need

Chapter 1: Ten Years

NailBunnyDeadBunny

Atobe sat in his limo on the way to the jail. Why? Because his new found "Friends" were in need of help. Fuji Syusuke's brother seems to have gotten himself into some deep trouble. According to Tokyo Fuji Yuuta might have committed murder. Look Atobe might the kid only a couple of times but he was incapable of murder. Stupid Tokyo.

As the driver opened the door for Atobe, he stepped out and looked at the filthy place and grimaced. God this place looked like shit warmed over. He walked up the stairs and into the lobby, which did not look any better, and over to a clerk behind a desk.

"Excuse me but I am looking for a Fuji Yuuta, where might I find him?"

"Follow me, he is with his family."

"Thank you."

As they walked down the halls and soon came to a door and the clerk opened the door, which was good because he was not going to touch it. He was not going risk his perfectness and possibly contract HIV. As he stepped in side he saw the Fuji family, Tezuka, and Yuuta's girlfriend, whatever her name is. He was offered a chair, which he refused because, again, HIV.

"Atobe thanks for coming." states Fuji's mom, who's name alludes him also.

"It is my pleasure." he states with a small smile

"You said you could help." states Fuji who looked….well not himself, which was no surprise. I mean his brother is facing the death sentence and all, and well that is a good reason.

"Yes I know some good lawyers who will love to help out."

"We can't afford anyone that is to expensive." states his father, who he just met.

"Don't worry I will cover any costs."

"Thank you." states Yumiko, who was Fuji's sister

"It is no problem." This was true because he only had plans to call one lawyer who owed him a big favor and a plus this lawyer would turn everyone one their ears, and he would be there to watch.

He look over at Tezuka who had also become a lawyer but he did only divorce cases and other smaller cases, so in short he was not qualified to cover Yuuta's case. The irony of the whole situation was that when he was the Brats captain he trained him to succeed him that he did.

He remember first meeting Echizen after he took off. It was about three years ago when a taller but still bratty Echizen walked into his building and asked to speak to him. He at first denied him entrance, because the secretary did not tell him his visitor's name, but when he heard the vulgar term of Monkey King he had him rushed in. When the Brat walked in with the cane and sunglasses, he was floored at the thought of the once promising tennis player was now without sight. The Brat was always was blunt and stated that he needed money. When asked for what, he responded that he was opening his own law firm but was short of the funds to do so. He then asked the Brat what kind of lawyer he was, and he responded that he only helped people that he believed to be truly innocent, and that is only in the big cases. He also asked how he got this far so quick and Echizen stated that he stated that he started schooling for it in his freshman year of high school.

To state he was shocked was a understatement, but his mother was the best defense attorney in Japan, so maybe it was in his blood like tennis was from his father. So with Atobe's help Echizen quickly came the most prized lawyer in England, and developed a reputation for winning the most difficult uphill battles. He might have been blind but he was clearly the best at what he did. About a year ago he finally told his complete story to Atobe that included part about finding out about being cheated on and Atobe saw that Brat still had bleeding wounds and that he was still very vulnerable to more attacks.

As Atobe measured Tezuka up, he relized that because Tezuka lost something valuable like Ryoma did not mean that he was going to screw up like him and it was his personal goal to have the Brat as his own.

"Atobe do you have a preferred lawyer, that would help us?" asked Fuji

"Yes but he at the moment is England, but I can get him here as soon as possible, just let me contact him. Do you mind if I do it here because he is going have to speak to Yuuta personally."

"That is fine with us." states Fuji's father

"Thanks."

Atobe pulled out his phone and dialed up a number that was memorized by heart and held it to his ear.

"Hello? This is the office of Ryoma Echizen, your name?"

"Atobe Keigo."

"Hello Mr. Atobe, I will patch you right through."

After a few seconds a voice that sent shivers up and down his spine though he hid them from the people in the same room with him.

"Monkey King you better have a good reason for calling me at eight in the morning."

"Why I do have a good reason, I want to cash in my favor."

"I am not doing a case were someone wants there puppy dog back from a disgruntled lover."

"It is not a puppy dog case, it is a murder trial."

"Who did you kill, and how? My guess is that you gave them one to many orders and they just fell over dead."

"Ore-sama did not kill anyone." (Can you imagine what is going through the other peoples minds.)

"Then who."

"Fuji Yuuta."

"Who killed him?"

"He is still alive."

"Then what why is this his murder trial?"

"Tokyo saids that Yuuta killed his uncle."

"Was he left handed, ask if he was left handed."

"What dose that anything to do with this?"

"He was the Lefty-Killer back in my freshman year."

"Your just doing this to harass me, are you?"

"Mada Mada Dane."

"Shut up."

"Put him on the phone."

Atobe holds the phone out.

"He wants to talk to you."

Yuuta takes the phone and places it to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hello there Mr. Fuji, besides being in jail, how are you?"

"Fine, I guess."

"Okay, lets get started. My name Echizen Ryoma and I will be your lawyer."

"R..Really?"

"Yes now stay with me, because we have to move fast before Monkey King blows a fuse. Now I understand that you under murder charges, now I am not going to ask you any questions because I am not prepared and I would prefer that I do that in person. Now I am going to ask you a favor, now I want you not to answer any questions or talk to anybody about the case till I get there. I will then collect you story and the reports and then we will go from there but I will need you complete support through this and that means no lying. Do you get me?"

"Yes."

"Good now I will be there as soon as I can, and lets agree that my past will remain unspoken of for my own reasons. I still am not comfortable about some things so lets not fill the air with tension, because we need to worry about you."

"Yes sir."

"Good now that is out of the way, hand me back to the Monkey King, because he is pay for my trip."

"It was nice talking to you again."

"Yes, I just wish it was under more pleasant conditions."

Yuuta hands the phone back to Atobe.

"He want to talk to you again."

Atobe takes the phone and holds it to his ear.

"Yes?"

"You are paying, but I do have a place to stay. Bye Monkey King."

Echizen hangs up the phone.

"Why you brat."

Atobe closes his phone and looks up in to the annoyed eyes of Yuuta.

"What is wrong with you?"

"Next time you are going to stick me on the phone with Echizen, I would like some warning then looking some idiot."

"You didn't ask his name before I called him, or I would have given it to you."

"Are you talking about that freshman tennis prodigy?" asked Fuji's father while everyone stared at Atobe wide eyed

"The one and only Echizen Ryoma. The brat is as good as his tennis and getting better."

"You have been in contact with him the whole time?" asks Fuji wide eyed

"Not the whole time just the last three years when he came to me to borrow some money to open his own practice. Now I must go and see about getting him as fast as possible."

Atobe turned and walked to the door and with a handkerchief he opened the door and walked out.
