Best Friend
Omniscient pov
Ryoma walked down the airport terminal. He masked his presence, hiding his aura. As the feelings of at least 20 vampires invaded his glanced around himself nonchalantly, unperturbed by this.
He opened his mental link and found Marui, Kevin, Shiraishi, Billy, and Alex.
'What school will we be attending, Alex.' Ryoma said as he weaved through people.
'Tokyo Dai, Ryoma-sama'.
'Why, Tokyo Dai?' Ryoma asked trying to confirm his predictions.
'Latest intel, says they will be on our side...They are heavily populated with vampires and we need to fortify our strengths.' Kevin replied. Billy replied after Kevin.
'We have reason to believe an A.S.S. attack on Tokyo is imminent.'
'Best friends..hmm i'm not sure if I should be disturbed.' Ryoma stated thinking over their plan.
'Do you wish to be more than best friends, sire.' Marui stated suggestively.
'Marui, can't you ever just contain yourself. That's not what I meant.' Ryoma said exasperatedly.
'Of course Ryoma- sama, I understand that this is best, I will stay in America. To keep you informed of everything that occurs in your absence.' Alex responded over the mental link, grateful that distance plays nothing in their king's powers.
'That and everyone with the exception of Alex have gone to highschool in the area, so it would make sense for us to go there.' Shiraishi said in an attempt to diffuse the tension, completly ignoring Marui.
'I guess we should just go straight there, that way we could get situated in our dorms.' Ryoma said as he halted a cab to wait for his princes as he broke the mental link.
The sun blazed across the sky as all the tennis players stood in front of the Todai gates waiting for their friends.
Atobe Keigo of Hyotei stood proudly, waiting for Shiraishi(he's with Hyotei in here) with the rest of his team behind him.
Tezuka Kunimitsu stood a little bit away with Seigaku, as they waited for their rookies, Kevin and Billy.
Yukimura stood awaiting not only Marui of his own (Rikkaidai) team but the remainder of Todai's team that seemed to be missing. Yukimura Seichi is buchou to the Todai tennis team.
They all awaited the four best friends. They got over their prejudice towards one another long ago, when they discovered their teamates were childhood friends, practically related. Untill this year, no one really knew what their relationship was. Shiraishi explained it before he left to America with Billy, Kevin, and Marui.
Flashback
They took the entire tennis team out to Taka's sushi shop, and explained they would be leaving to America. Everyone was so flabbergasted, they didn't know what to say.
"Ore-sama demands to know why." Marui popped his gum before completly ignoring Atobe and turning to Yukimura (for he knew the only reason Atobe would be acting so childishly, is if someone were controlling him( Seichi (vampire)can influence those around him and disarm their own powers in a nullifying way, his power creeps.)).
"Because Buchou, were going to go pick someone up." Marui smirked as he faced his captain. He easily side-stepped Atobe's and Yukimura's power( Atobe(vampire)can command you to tell him, and you are compelled into doing so.). Atobe scowled as he crossed his arms and turned away. Pissed at Yukimura for using him.
Tezuka walked up to Kevin and Billy, demanding their attention. They both froze as Tezuka locked eyes with them(Tezuka(vampire) can freeze you by looking into your eyes, he can control your mind if your eyes ever meet his).
"Who is this person you're going to pick up?" Tezuka said as he crossed his arms.
"Our best friend." Of course they held no power over them, because Ryoma's power protects them, ever since Ryoma made them his princes. They only acted like his power had an effect on them. Shiraishi grabbed them both and threw all three into a nearby cab.
"Don't worry we'll be back, meet us in front of Todai in two weeks."
End Flashback
So there they all stood, when a cab pulled up in front of them.
The door opened and a slender brown boot with white cuffs hit the ground followed by another. A bandaged left arm held the door open as the rest of his body came into view. He wore a pair of dark blue jeans that dissappeared beneath his boots, a tight red shirt against his lean body, with a black unbuttoned blazer. As he stood, his wispy, short, brown hair glinted in the sunlight. As the grey scarf wrapped tighter around his neck. The grey in the scarf highlighted the grey in his gorgeous eyes.
Second out was Kevin his black shades rested atop his dirty blond hair, that fell in bangs on either side of his face. His eyes were a hazy blue. As he glanced around himself unsurprised. He wore a black button-up shirt that he had tucked inside a pair of black skinny jeans.
Kevin held out his hand to pull Billy. His black cowboy hat was seen before his body was. He wore a loose white shirt that had drawstrings across his chest, that hung loosely over dark blue jeans.
Marui came out next. His red hair was a bold contrast to his pale white figure. His green eyes glanced around mischieveously, as if he were sensing danger(Which he was, Marui(vampire; obviously) can sense power and reuse it meaning everyones power is his). He wore a dark black, long sleeve, sweater that hung tightly to his body over a pair of dark blue jeans.
They all stood with their backs facing their teams. All their eyes were drawn to the cab, they were all smiling waiting for someone, and it surprised them to see so much love from these four men. They began to wonder who stayed in the cab. When a slender hand gripped the door.
A slim body slid out. He wore tight black jeans with black Filas. His white shirt hugged his muscled body, revealing his toned chest. He wore a light white jacket, which sleeves were rolled up to his elbow. It showed not only his black wristbands but his well toned arms as well. His hair glinted emerald as the wind carressed his face. He opened his cat-like eyes and stared through blazing golden orbs.
"Did you have to take so long Ryo, I mean I know your sexy but others don't need to know that". Marui whispered into his ear as he ruffled his head.
"Hn." was his only reply as he began to walk away.
"Ryoma, wait up." Shiraishi exclaimed as he grabbed his arm. While Kevin and Billy took this opportunity to flank both Ryoma's arms.
"Ryoma, don't you want to meet our team." Marui whined as he popped his gum.
"Later, eight-hour plane ride, ponta." Ryoma said as he placed his hand over his mouth stifling a yawn. Kevin began rifling through his bag and almost laughed at Ryoma's wide eyed face as he pulled out a can of grape ponta.
Ryoma grabbed it and quickly gulped it down as Kevin, Billy, Marui, and even Shiraishi began to laugh. Ryoma glared(pouted) at them but for SOME reason it only made them laugh more.
He turned to the tennis players and stated,"Echizen Ryoma, Yuroshiko". All the players sweat-dropped at his lack of introduction except Eiji.
"Kawaii, Ochibi." Eiji ran to glomp Ryoma but was met by a wall of chests. as Kevin, Billy, and Shiraishi stood shoulder to shoulder hiding Ryoma, with Marui covering his ears, from view.
"Mou why won't you let me through, it's not like I'm gonna hurt him." Eiji pouted as he crossed his arms. Fuji came to stand beside Eiji with opened eyes, when Shiraishi leaned down a little bit to whisper in their ears.
"It's not exactly him were protecting, just be grateful Marui covered his ears in time."
"Saa, why Shiraish-kun". But it was Kevin that spoke.
"Because Fuji-sempai, Ryoma has an issue with being called short or young in any way." Billy seconded Kevin as he spoke too.
"We just saved your life Eiji-Sempai." Billy said matter-of-factly. Fuji was now truly curious of the boy hidden behind men. He tried to peer inside the makeshift huddle when golden eyes met azure and both men froze.
Ryoma recognized him but he couldn't understand from where. Ryoma tapped their shoulders as if asking for them to step aside as he walked to stand directly in front of Fuji.
"Do I know you?" Ryoma said in a voice barely above a whisper.
Flashback
A child sat on a root of a tree, with his back to Ryoma. His side rested on that tree as his feet dangled off the root. He began to hum happily as his eyes remained closed.
Ryoma walked forward happily to sit beside him. He turned to face him as his hat tilted slightly off his face. He hesitantly began to stroke the childs white wings, truly fascinated by it's silky feel. The child turned to face him with a genuine smile as he leaned into Ryoma's touch. He gasped as he looked at Ryoma's back.
His eyes opened to reveal stunning orbs. Ryoma lifted his head at the gasp and golden met azure.
End Flashback
"Ryoma?" Fuji gasped as everything in the world fell away leaving nothing but darkness, but he didn't understand why.
R&R people, seriously, i'm getting older here. Tee Hee XD
