Chapter 2: Momo's injury & Kaidoh's match

Hey, sorry for the wait for all you fans! I was just doing stuff… o-o Anyways! Here's chapter two! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own The Prince of Tennis, and any of their characters. Blah, blah, blah.

The time was 6:30 a.m., Momo had awoken peacefully with Kaidoh in his arms. "Hoi Mamushi, wake up. We have to get ready for the day." Momo said. But, really Momo didn't want anyone to wake up and see Momo holding Kaidoh in his arms, sleeping together on HIS bed. Kaidoh's eyes had open slowly. Looking into Momo's eyes always made Kaidoh feel better. "Good morning!" Kaidoh said brightly. "Hurry and get changed before someone sees us together", "Relax. No one will see. Besides, I thought you were the one that doesn't care if anyone 'sees' us together or not." Kaidoh said with a smile on his face. Momo was happy the fact that Kaidoh rarely smiles, and that Momo is one of the special people who get to witness Kaidoh when he smiles. It made him feel good. "Just get ready." Momo said with a big grin on his face.

Their morning didn't start off too bad, there was intensifying running, stretches, and followed by some work outs in the weight room.

Everyone was pumped, and overzealous about their matches. However, when all the middle schoolers from different schools, except Seigaku, noticed that only one certain middle schooler could play a shuffle match, and the board stated: Momoshiro Takeshi. Eventually, Kaidoh and Momo went to go and view the board, Momoshiro was surprised that he was the only chosen middle schooler to play a shuffle match with Jujiroh Oni on court 5. "Yahoo! Lucky! A match already? I'm psyched!", " Momoshiro… Be careful." Warned by the Seigaku team captain. "No Worries! He's a power player just like me!" Momo said excitedly. "Then this should be a interesting match." Fuji-senpai said with a concerned look.

The match had begun. Every middle schooler was watching this intensifying match. Everyone knew Momoshiro wouldn't really stand a chance against this unknown high school tennis player. However, most of them still had faith in him. Astonishingly, the over six foot high schooler only had two strings crossing in the middle of the racket. "He's only got two strings on his racket!", "Is he for real?" the questioning and confused crowd continued. "My name is Momoshiro Takeshi. Let's have a good match." As Momo extends out his hand, expecting a hand shake from Oni. The red headed man walked away, and walked towards the base line of the tennis court. "Impossible." he muttered.

Overly confident, Momoshiro starts with his serve, it was fairly decent compared to his amazing bullet serve. The six footed beast looked very calm and collected, then suddenly burst out a roar and screamed, "Too slow!" he countered Momo's serve with a nice return. Momo ran straight for the net and almost tricked his foe, instead of using one of his most amazing shot's the "Dunk Smash" he instead does a feint, and does a drop shot. The red headed man then ran straight for the net and picks up the ball with his two strung racket in the air. Momo then dashes and uses one of his special shot's the "Jack Knife." However, as he hits the ball, his opponent was copying his form, "Do you really think you can cut me with that little thing? This is what a REAL 'Jack Knife' looks like! 'Black jack knife'! "Black Jack Knife?" The crowd wondered. As Oni hit the ball, his power was so great that once when Momo had time to react, The ball had already hit his racket. The pain was excruciating. As Momo fell to the floor and tried to stand up, and pick up his racket, it dawned on him that he couldn't touch his racket. The pain on his wrists were too intense. "You won't be able to play for awhile… It's over. I won." The red headed man said softly. As he tries to walk off the court, he notices that Momo was using his arms to hold his racket. "Where do you think you're going? I'm not finished with you yet… I still have a lot of fight in me left." As Oni looks at the foolish middle schooler, he sees the burning passion in his eyes. He sees that he's not going to give up. Oh no. This isn't any ordinary middle schooler, that's for sure. "Idiot." As he makes his stance at the base line. Momo serving, the match was still at play…

During this harsh match, Momoshiro kept fighting, he was determined to win the match, for himself, and all the other middle schoolers. "Black Jack Knife!", "Look out Momoshiro!" Kaidoh screams out from the crowd. But, it was too late. That final blow was the last shot, the match had finally ended. Oni-san looks down at his racket and notices that his strings had broke during the match. "Damn kid broke my strings… Hey? What was your name again?" As he yelled and looks directly at Momoshiro. "Momoshiro… Takeshi…" He said weakly. "Work your way up! Momoshiro Takeshi!" The red headed man screamed as he walked off the courts.

Momo was sent to immediate urgent care. And both wrists were bandaged "You don't think about the consequences enough, you moron." Kaidoh says with worry. "What'd you say?", "You wanna fight?" As Momo and Kaidoh argue, all seemed very normal. Until the shuffle matches were over.

In the U-17 camp, there were many coaches and/or staff in this facility. And today, there was a new coach that would give direct orders to the middle schoolers. His name was coach Saidoh. He was an eerie looking man, with long black hair, but styled it in a pony tail. His instructions were clear. At first.

Every middle schooler was suppose to choose a partner. Simple, right? But, to play against your partner, and whoever losses immediately leaves camp. Nuts! While Momo and Kaidoh were scattered, Kaidoh wanted to test his strength, and asked Tezuka buchou, to be his partner. He agreed because he knew that Kaidoh was going to be Seigaku's new Team captain next year, after all the senpai's were gone. So he wanted to test his skills.

So their match begun.

Tezuka wasn't holding back. He's made marvelous hits, angling all of his shots. Kaidoh could not reach any of them. Progressing through their 7 point tie breaker, the score was 6-0. Tezuka leading. "Damnit… Is this how you're gonna go out, Viper?" Momo said softly. This long rally continued. "What point is there in keeping this going?" Momo said aloud. "I've never seen Viper like this before…" "Go Viper!" Momo screamed. However, the match had ended. Tezuka finished the rally with one of his special moves. The "Zero Degree Drop Shot" The score was 7-0. "Viper…" Momo said with a deep sigh. "Damn buchou is amazing." Kaidoh said. "This was the best match I've played with you, Kaidoh." Tezuka smiled. "Yeah…" Kaidoh said in disappointment, yet heppy.

Eventually Momoshiro plays against Sengoku. However, due to his injury, he couldn't continue the match. So, Momoshiro had no choice but to forfeit. In the end, the score was 3-0.

Once every middle schooler finished their matches. There were winners, and there were losers. Granted, they were given the remainder of the day to pack up their bags and leave camp U-17.

It was dark out. The time was 7:31 p.m. after dinner, Momoshiro and Kaidoh excused themselves from the dinner table. They immediately went to their room and locked the door. They were too tired and too depressed to try anything on each other. (sucks)

"It sucks that we both lost our matches today… And now we have to go home…" Momo said looking down at the floor. "Yeah, it does. But, maybe when we go back home, we can get stronger. Maybe even better. Y'know?" Kaidoh said looking at Momo, trying their best to stay positive. "You always know what to say to cheer me up, huh?" Momo said trying his best to smile back at Kaidoh. "Well, I most definitely try." Kaidoh leaned in and gave Momo a kiss on the lips.

To be continued…

Hey guys! Sorry to cut it here… but… yeah… ^-^;;

Not much love scenes with Kaidoh and Momo. But, just wait till chapter 3! :D
