Hi^^

Well I decided to finish all chapters I had a part from and update them all at once.

Yes I know this story is officially on hold but I'm bad at not doing things when I said I wouldn't do them. Anyways hope you like it^^

Fuji followed his classes as normal he was late that morning but he still followed his classes.

Eiji looked surprised at his classmate. "Ne Fujiko why were you late! Why didn't you come to practice? Is something wrong?"

Fuji smiled brightly. "I'm fine."

They walked to afternoon practice together.

"Where were you this morning?" Tezuka asked sternly.

"I met a demon who offered to play tennis with me and I couldn't refuse."

Tezuka knew he wouldn't get a clear answer. "Fuji 50 laps for missing practice."

Fuji spoke no more he just started running.

Taka-san noticed Fuji's behavior was off. He decided to do something about it as fast as humanly possible.

"Practice matches." Tezuka said. "Inui."

"Yes Tezuka." Inui got his notebook. "Kawamura and Momoshiro. Kikumaru and Echizen. Kaidoh and me. Fuji and Tezuka. Ooishi and Arai."

Everyone nodded and moved to their courts.

"Tezuka."

"Fuji."

"I heard you and Echizen have a relationship."

"We have."

Fuji felt his heart being torn once again. "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Let's begin. Rough or Smooth."

"Smooth."

"Rough. I'll serve first." Fuji said. He positioned himself at the baseline and started with a normal serve. He played a lot more serious than normal and most people didn't even notice.

Kawamura who just won his match noticed.

"5 games all. Fuji to serve."

Fuji served a normal but fast serve.

Tezuka returned.

Fuji returned.

Tezuka used his Tezuka zone.

Fuji being the genius he was broke the Tezuka zone without too much effort. He scored the point.

"15-love."

"Fuji might actually beat Tezuka."

"There's no chance right?"

"Fuji always held back."

"He still is. He hasn't used any of his counters."

"This is very unlike Fuji."

"30-love."

Fuji smiled, he still seemed awfully relaxed.

Inui choked. "I never knew he was holding back this much."

"What do you mean?" Ooishi asked worried.

"I always thought he played with about 70% of his true strength but he seems to be still holding back and he plays far better than usual. He probably only played with about 30% of his true skill."

"That's terrifying." Someone whispered.

"It is." Momo agreed.

"40-15"

"Only one more point and Fuji has this game."

"Neither one of them lost serve yet."

"The next game decides everything."

"Maybe it'll become a tiebreak."

"Game Fuji. 6-5. Tezuka to serve."

Fuji looked at Tezuka. He sighed he had given up everything for that person. He had lost everything. He will win something. He will win this match.

Tezuka served.

"Tsubame geishi." Someone whispered.

"love-15."

Tezuka frowned. "You're unusually serious."

"Saa."

"15 all."

Fuji returned the ball and smiled happily. "Are you happy?"

Tezuka looked surprised.

"15-30."

"It isn't over yet right?" Fuji smirked. "I haven't seen the zero shiki yet."

Tezuka thought Fuji wouldn't be able to return it anyway.

Fuji easily returned the drop shot leaving Tezuka amazed.

"15-40."

"Tezuka just couldn't react to that."

"One more point and Fuji wins."

"I always knew Fuji was an amazing player but I never saw this coming."

"G-game Fuji. 7-5. Fuji wins." The referee called.

"It was a good game, wasn't it Tezuka?"

"Hn." Tezua confirmed.

Fuji shook Tezuka's hand and left. He still had the strange aching feeling. He felt himself cracking every time he looked at Tezuka. He couldn't play like this. He would fall and break. He walked towards the locker room. He locked himself in one of the shower stalls.

"Kunimitsu."

"Ryoma."

"Does it bother you you lost?"

"It was a good match."

"Do you like Fuji senpai?"

"No."

Ryoma chuckled. "Isn't he important for the team?"

"He's a good player."

"But?"

"He's just an important player to the team. I'll only ever like you."

Ryoma smirked and wrapped his arms around his captain.

Fuji slid down against the wall. He couldn't believe this. All this time he had thought his captain was his friend. He never thought he would be reduced to the tensai. He was of course a genius but people only saw him as that. He wanted to cry like the twelve year old boy he was.

"Shuusuke. I'm so glad you called. It was getting bored."

"Ne nee-chan, would it be possible for me to transfer. Our parents don't mind either way."

"Why would you want to?"

"I think it would be interesting."

"Where would you want to go?"

"I don't know yet."

"Talk about it with Yuuta."

"Sure."

Fuji called his older brother. "Aniki."

Yuuta looked surprised. "Why do you call me?"

"Would it be okay for me to transfer?"

"Transfer where to?"

Mizuki looked up. "You're not going to transfer, right Yuuta?"

Yuuta shook his head and signaled to Mizuki to be silent. "Why?"

"Wouldn't it be interesting?"

"As long as you don't come to St. Rudolph."

"Don't worry I won't."

Mizuki raised an interested eyebrow. He however was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

"Where's Fuji?" Tezuka asked sternly.

"He was so serious yesterday. He isn't even at practice today."

"He wasn't at practice yesterday morning either." Someone corrected.

"You're right."

"I'm sorry I'm late." Fuji said walking on the courts as if nothing happened.

"That's unusual for you." Ooishi said. "Did something happen?"

"Saa."

"Fuji, 20 laps."

Fuji started running without protesting.

People started to whisper once again. They wanted to know what their tensai was up to. They saw something was off but they couldn't place it.

Kikumaru who was playing against Ryoma suddenly stopped mid-serve. "He hasn't teased anyone since yesterday. He doesn't hold back. He smiles weird."

"What?" Ryoma asked surprised.

"Ochibi, do you think Fujiko is depressed?"

"Don't think so." Ryoma answered bored.

Ooishi who heard this was immediately worried about their tensai.

Fuji looked at his empty house. He didn't feel like being alone right now. "Well might as well go to the street courts." He said to himself. He didn't care about the things around him like he usually did and for once that was a good thing. If he had been paying attention he had seen Ryoma and Tezuka sitting next to each other on a bench in one of the most unromantic dates ever.

"Fuji."

Fuji smiled brightly. "Hi."

The entire Fudomine team was facing him.

"You're not here very often are you?" Kamio asked.

"I was looking for an opponent."

"That's not like you either." Kamio replied.

"You know Ann-chan heard from Momo that you beat Tezuka. I thought you would always let Tezuka win. But that's stupid if you're the better player. Momo also said your playstyle was off yesterday. He isn't very observant so it must've been pretty obvious. You must've played like the Devil from Rikkaidai."

"What do you mean Ann heard it from Momoshiro!" Kamio yelled. "Why is she still talking to him?" Kamio started ranting about Momoshiro and Ann.

"You're looking for an opponent as well?" Fuji then asked Tachibana.

"Sure." Tachibana smirked. "I want to play against you now you've beat Tezuka. I want you to play as serious as you played against Tezuka."

Fuji smiled. "Saa."

The match was wonderful to see with Fuji easily winning.

"You still didn't give it your all." Tachibana panted.

"Saa."

A chuckle stopped the conversation. "Ore-sama is impressed. Ore-sama used to think Tezuka was a strong player but it's only because you let him shine."

Fuji looked surprised.

"Ore-sama thinks it's ridiculous that you hold back, it makes Tezuka look good but it makes you look terrible."

"Does it now?" Fuji asked. "Saa."

"Ore-sama thinks you should go to a school that will make you shine. Hyoutei will always welcome you."

Fuji smiled brightly. "I will consider it."

Atobe had to do everything in his power to not let his mouth drop to the ground.

Tachibana looked surprised. "You will?"

"Saa." Fuji said with his usual smiling mask. "I should be going home." It wasn't like anyone expected him but still. He didn't like where this conversation as going.

Tachibana looked how Fuji left with a confused expression.

Fuji was staring at the many folders his sister had sent him.

She wanted him to carefully pick the school he was transferring to.

"Fudomine seems nice." Fuji said playing with the folder. "So does Rikkaidai." He sighed. "I'm just not sure if I even want to play tennis anymore." He looked at some of the other schools. "Shitenhouji seems nice. But I would have to travel far." He thought about Shiraishi. He had played serious. He had thought that he couldn't play more serious than that. Well he had believed that until he played against Kirihara. He chuckled he might be able to win from Shiraishi like he was now. He somehow wanted to try and somehow he didn't want to. He felt like he had disappointed Tezuka there. He had felt guilty and he hated himself. He had considered that might be the reason why Tezuka preferred Echizen but he knew that wasn't it.

Tezuka had liked Echizen better anyways.

Fuji opened his eyes. "Why isn't he too young? I was." Fuji noticed tears welling up in his eyes.

"WHAT!?"

"I'm transferring."

"But but but you can't!" Kikumaru whined.

"Saa."

Kikumaru looked at Fuji shocked.

"What's the matter?" Ooishi asked as he saw the two approaching the courts.

"Fuji says he's transferring." Kikumaru wailed.

The entire tennisclub looked at Fuji.

"Is that true?" Tezuka asked Fuji with a stern look upon his face.

Fuji smiled as usual when he replied. "Yes."

Tezuka looked at Fuji but didn't reply for a while. "You still have to hand over your resignation form."

"Ah yes." Fuji said getting it from his bag. "Here you go." Fuji smiled brightly. "I should get going I still have to prepare some things."

"Why are you leaving?" Kawamura asked. "Did you play serious the last two days because you're leaving?"

Noone had asked Fuji why.

Fuji paused. "Saa." He said after a while and continued walking towards the school building.

Ryuuzaki had looked from a distance and raised her eyebrow. She saw a lot of things and she also saw that Fuji had looked at Tezuka when he had announced it. She had seen Tezuka didn't reply any different than he usually did. She also saw how it had hurt Fuji. But she doubted if that was the reason why Fuji left. Better she wouldn't be able to believe it if that was it.

"Senri, you're out of it."

"Kippei called yesterday." Chitose said. "He said Fuji would think about going to Hyoutei."

"He probably was joking." Shiraishi answered.

"Kippei, said it didn't look like that."

"Fuji, is a good actor."

"Yuushi, said that as well." Kenya said doubtful. "He said something was seriously strange."

"Maybe he and his boyfriend broke up." Koharu said jokingly.

Everyone laughed.

"For as far as I know the only one Fuji has ever been interested in is his little brother." Senri chuckled.

Shiraishi looked at them a bit absentminded. He had the strange feeling this might end bad.

Atobe twirled his hair between his fingers.

"Atobe, that's not like you." Oshitari said looking at how Atobe was mismanaging his hair.

"Usu." Kabaji agreed

"Kabaji, agrees with other people." Gakuto squealed.

"Fuji was probably joking." Oshitari said not believing it himself. "Well if he really comes to Hyoutei…"

"Ore-sama will welcome him with open arms."

"I'll gekokujou him."

Taki turned around. "Where did you come from?"

"Hmp." Hiyoshi turned his head away. "I've been here the entire time."

Jirou yawned. "Fuji-san, won't come to hyoutei."

"What why not?"

"He will go to some other school and quit tennis. Or just like fudoumine."

Oshitari looked thoughtfully. "He might yes. But that leaves the question as to why he's leaving Seigaku, if he's leaving Seigaku at all."

Jirou looked tired. "He liked Tezuzka."

Oshitari looked surprised. "How… why?"

"But the brat is dating Tekuka." Atobe said.

"Fuji is jealous?" Choutarou asked.

"Wouldn't be the first time." Shishido said careless.

Oshitari looked thoughtful. "But it's more like Fuji to be happy for Tezuka."

"He should realize he never confessed." Gakuto said annoyed. "He didn't right?"

"For as far as we know not." Oshitari said thoughtful. "But if he did."

"He didn't." Shishido said annoyed now.

"It's a hypothesis."Oshitari said. "Why would he have been rejected?"

Well I hope you liked it^^pretty pretty please review^^
