You'll Know the condition in this chapter... yea about Seigaku looking better... um... thinking bout that... Anyways thanks for telling me what you think! lol
Guest - Um... first off I am not the first one to use this idea. I mean I would like to credit it to the rightful owner of this idea, but I don't know who it belongs to, not me though. Second - does it really matter if I copy the simple idea of - Ryoma gets betrayed, Ryoma finds out, and Ryoma is a girl...? Anyways thanks for telling me what your mom says about copying and I assure you I am not crediting the 3 main ideas to myself, I just thought it would be fun to try and make a story that surrounds the ideas.
Last Chapter
Suddenly the doctor turns around, "By the way, Atobe-san, did you know about her condition?" The doctor asked Atobe as he raised an eye brow.
"Yes." Atobe said calmly, but can sense that the doctor's last statement made everyone waiting perk up their ears. What condition? What happened? All the regulars, besides Atobe, thought together.
Atobe on the other hand just sighed inwardly and thought, This is going to take a long time.
Chapter 2 ~ The Urge to forget
(A/N: Just letting you know! The beginning of this chapter is the continuation of the flashback in the previous chapter.)
All the regulars out in the hall were bombarding Atobe with questions.
"Settle down! Ore-sama suggests we go visit the brat first!" Atobe said. After that was said realization hit them and they slowly passed Atobe and rushed into the room only to find Ryoma already in a sitting position.
"Oi, Oi. are you ok sitting up right now?" Ayaka asked Ryoma. Ryoma only nodded and gave a small smile before Atobe came in.
"They found out that you have a condition, but not what it specifically is." Atobe said in a very serious voice. This only made Ryoma sigh once again.
"If you find the need to, tell them. The only thing I am worried about is it getting to the public." At this said Ryoma looked around to the other regulars, then said, "If you keep it to yourselves, then I guess I can approve of you guys knowing." At this all the regulars nodded, either calmly or furiously.(A/N: I'm pretty sure you know who would nod furiously and who would nod calmly.)
*Sigh*"Fine. You tell them." Ryoma looked back at Atobe while telling him he had to tell them.
"Fine, Ore-sama will only do it because yo-" At this point Ryoma slapped his head lightly and said, "Ok, Ok. We get it."
*sigh*"Ok, so this condition of Ryoma's is Pneumothorax."
"What!?" The regulars that knew what this conditions was were shocked and that was the one word they could make out. While those who didn't, mainly Ayaka, were dumbfounded and looking to the others to try and find an answer.
*sigh*"It is like a collapsed lung. It happened due to an accident when I was younger. It really isn't anything big right now." Ryoma was the one who answered this time. (A/N: If anyone wants to know what it really is, tell me and I'll explain it either in the reviews or in a different chapter.)
"What do you mean it is not bi-" Some of the regulars started to protest, but was stopped by Ryoma's light plea to leave her alone.
"Can you guys just leave me alone, I need to rest. Please. Oh, and don't tell anyone about the video you saw and I'll be keeping the camera." Ryoma said while crawling back into the white blanket that was provided by the hospital.
The regulars looked worried, but didn't protest since they knew Ryoma needed time alone to think. After they reluctantly left, Ryoma's heart felt painful, very painful she couldn't hold it in anymore. She pulled the covers over her head and anyone outside the door to her hospital room can hear her silent sobs.
-End of Flashback (Morning after Ryoma is sent home from hospital)-
Ryoma cuddled into her knees, wishing this was not happening. Wishing everything was a dream and wishing everything was going to be back to the warm days before the nationals. There was a light knock on her door and she only responded with a light, "Come in." While wiping her tears away.
"Honey, are you ok?" Ryoma's mother, Rinko, decided that she needed to do something to comfort her daughter. After being told what happened from her nephew, she and her husband immediately pulled Ryoma out of Seigaku and planned to move away to America for who knows how long. They thought Ryoma needed some time away from people who hurt her.
"No, I'm fine." Ryoma replied with a small whisper.
"Um... Ryo, I forgot to tell you something about next week..." Rinko started nervously.
"What is it, Okaa-san." Ryoma lifted her head up to reveal puffy red eyes and a tear stained face.
"Ryo, in a week we will be moving to America... and we already pulled you out of Seigaku today, so you can feel free to visit some friends and say goodbye..." Rinko said nervously, unsure on how her daughter would reply.
"Fine, I'll head out later." Ryoma said in a monotone before putting her head back down.
"How about eating something, there is Japanese food." Rinko tried to urge Ryoma to get up and do something other than sulking.
"... I'll be heading out." Ryoma said as she got off her bed, knowing that her mother would be pushing her to do something.
"How about breakfast?" Rinko said, a little more happier that she got her daughter moving.
"Nah... Not hungry." As Ryoma put on her usual white tank top and blue skinny jeans that reached up to below her knees, while grabbing a red jacket and her tennis bag while heading out. This time though, she tied her hair put into a high ponytail (the end of the ponytail ended a little lower than her waist ) and her tennis bag was black stead of the Seigaku bag she normally used. She also put on some wrist bands with weights in them and they were black as well. On her way out she took a cap that was black and had a white 'R' on the front and put it on her head.
"Ok! But be call if anything comes up!" Rinko said cheerfully as she got her daughter to get out of her sulking in her room.
-With Ryoma-
"Ahh... Kaa-san can be very pushy sometimes..." Ryoma sighed as she was not in the mood to do anything. Then she realized, as if she was not thinking when her mother was talking to her, she should prepare to go to America. She quickly decided what she would do and headed for Rikkaidai to say some good byes because if she was not mistaken, the tennis club regulars of Rikkaidai were allowed to stay at the tennis courts for playing in the nationals the day before.
-Rikkaidai Front Entrance-
"I... actually came..." Ryoma sighed deeply. She really didn't want to see any of the regulars from any school, since it just reminded her of Seigaku. Ryoma headed past the gates and saw some students outside ready to get to class. Ryoma walked up to one of them and 'politely' asked for the directions to the tennis courts.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where the tennis courts are?" Ryoma asked. The boy blushed slightly as well as his companions and he pointed around the corner of the left side of the school.
"Thanks." Ryoma said with a slight wave as she headed for the courts. She found a shady tree close by the courts where all the regulars were practicing. Akaya and Niou were playing a game where it clearly looked like Akaya was at his limits and was in 'demon mode'. The rest were observing them silently on the sides. Ryoma just headed for the tree and watched as the match proceeded with Akaya gaining one game which was returned when Niou got two games from him. She watched as they started to sweat buckets, but they continued to play with even more force than before.
"Excuse me, but what might you want with us?" Ryoma was startled, but not showing it as she turned around and saw Yukimura with a creepy smile on his face.
"Saa... Lets see..." Ryoma said as she inwardly smirked when she saw Yukimura eye brows twitch, not satisfied with her answer.
"Who are you?" Yukimura now looking serious, but this only made Ryoma laugh which sounded like soft chimes going off and Yukimura look even more confused.
"A bumble bee only gets mad when their territory was invaded, ne?" Ryoma giggled at the connection.
"Well, Yes that is definitely true, especially now." Yukimura said as he smiled very sweetly.
"Fine. Nice to see you again." Ryoma said as she took her cap off to reveal golden eyes and a small smirk. By this time all the other curious regulars already gathered somewhere behind Yukimura. All the regulars gasped at who was right in front of them right now.
"Kur.. Kuroko... Tet... Tetsuya! Said to be the princess of tennis and queen of the basketball courts!" Akaya and Bunta shouted as they pointed their fingers toward Ryoma.
Only one thought ran through Ryoma's mind that second, I can't believe they actually still recognized the princess of tennis and the queen of the basketball courts even after she disappeared for a bit over a year already! Was I that famous?!
