To all my readers i might not be able to update for awhile since i will be going back home to my country for vacation and the internet connection there is pretty bad but i will try my best to update but its unlikely.

Ryoma was finally starting his first year in Seigaku in two more weeks, he was not really excited since its just school but he wondered how the school was going to be like, the school that his father attended, even after he got adopted he never did keep his adoptive father's name. Over the year Ryoma grew a bit taller and he stared calling his older brother by his name sometimes.

"Are you sure you okay about going to school?" Ryoma heard this many times before, he knew his brother is worried about him since he never left home but Ryoma knew he was ready.

"I'm fine." Ryoma replied, "And if anything happens I will call you." Ryoma took out the mobile phone from his pocket that he recently got from Marui but he didn't use it much since he wasn't good with things like this.

Marui was now starting his third year at Rikkaidai but he wasn't worry about, he was more worried about Ryoma's school. Marui thought Ryoma would go to his school when he decided to go back to school but he didn't go to another which still upset him, he tried many times trying to change his mind but nothing worked.

"I guess I have to let him do what he wants."

Ryoma went outside and swept the ground like he always does that's when he saw his other two brother arrive.

"Your back." Ryoma smiled.

"We're back." They said in union.

Kiyo and Souji are both of Marui's younger brothers and older brother to Ryoma. Unlike Marui Souji had just black hair and Kiyo had the black hair and on the bottom a bit of pink, Souji and Kiyo takes more of their father while Marui takes after their late mother. They had went on a trip with their father but returned a year earlier since their school was starting soon. Both Kiyo and Souji did different sport compared to Marui who loved tennis. Kiyo played basket ball while Souji did soccer and like Marui they were good at it, sometimes the two would teach Ryoma how to play their sport they loved but Ryoma loved tennis a lot like Marui did.

"It's going to rain soon so we better get inside." Kiyo said pushing Ryoma inside where Souji followed after.

"Where's Bunta?" Souji asked.

"I think he is taking shower." Ryoma pointed it out, "Since he just came from practice."

The boys sat in the living room and watched the TV and then Ryoma made some snacks for them to eat while they watch TV, then they heard somebody coming out of the shower.

The pinkette stared at the three in the living room.

"When did you two get back?" He asked.

"Just recently." Souji answered.

"By the way father won't be able to come for Ryoma's first day at school."

Marui had the feeling this was going happen since his father had always been busy with work, neither had the time with him or his brothers when they were small and always missed their important dates.

"He won't be able to meet the chairman or the teacher, eh."

"It's fin..." Ryoma's hands dropped hard on the table on the middle of the room. When they heard that sound the three turned to Ryoma in surprised.

"What's wrong?"Marui rushed to Ryoma's side in worry then he felt his forehead, it was burning hot, "You have a fever." Marui quickly carried the younger boy in his arm and ran to his room. Souji quickly dialed a number in his phone while Kiyo went to the kitchen and get rag for Ryoma. The other two then headed to the boy's room and saw Marui by Ryoma's side. Kiyo put the wet cloth on top of Ryoma's forehead but his face looked pale.

"I called a doctor." Souji assured the two, "I also called father but he didn't pick up but I left a message."

"How didn't I notice that you were ill?" Marui thought. He looked fine this morning, he wasn't in any pain and looked like he always does. Marui was angry at himself for not protecting him from this.

"Onii-chan."Ryoma said slowly, breathing heavily then stared at Marui.

"Don't speak." Marui said taking the wet cloth from his forehead and put another new one that Kiyo had prepared.

Ting Dong

"That must be the doctor." Souji said as he left the room to get the door, the doctor stood there, to Souji's surprised he looked young for a doctor.

"I'm and the only doctor who does house visit." Souji let the doctor inside and led him to Ryoma's room. Shamal introduce himself to the other two and then felt Ryoma's forehead then he took out a stethoscope and put the two ear part to his ear then the other part he placed it on the boy's chest to hear his heart.

"He's breathing normal, so that's good." He took the stethoscope out then he looked through his bag and took out a bottle.

"Give him this every morning, evening and night." Shamal said handling the bottle of medicine to Marui. Marui nodded his head in agreement.

"My work here is done." He said leaving the room. Souji followed the doctor out and thanked him.

"If anything happens call me."He said handing a card with his name and business then he started walking away.

He went back to the others and saw that Ryoma's pale face was somehow coming face. Suddenly Souji's mobile rang.

"Old man." He said as he picked the call up.

"How's Ryoma? Riku was worried when he got the voicemail a bit late.

"He's alright now, I called the doctor."

"Thank goodness."He sighed.

After the call ended he smiled, even if his father was busy he still has time to worry about his kids, even if Ryoma isn't blood related, he is still family but he knew Marui cared about Ryoma in a different way but he didn't really mind, now he wish his father would find somebody.

"Souji." Kiyo called his name when Kiyo saw Souji near the door entrance.

"What is it?"

"I have this bad feeling about chibi going to Seigaku and its not because of Marui."

"I thought I was the only one."Souji replied back, "And it's not because that school and Marui's are rivals either."

"I think since our school is so close we should take care of him."

Souji agreed and this would make Marui happy. Later that evening they explained to Marui that they would drop and pick Ryoma off from school except when he hangs with his friends that it. Marui agreed to it. At this time when Ryoma was sick Marui decided to stay home and look after him until he was fully recovered, this made Ryoma feel bad since Marui was missing practice.

"You don't have to look after me, I'm fine."

"You are not."Marui argued. The boy kept telling the pinkette he was fine but Marui knew better than that. Marui didn't even let the boy leave the room without him since he was still sick, Marui or his two brothers would bring food for him to eat but the food wasn't the best since they are not used to cooking.

"Bunta, I have practice so I will be late." Souji said but before he left he went to see Ryoma who was sleeping then walked out of the house.

"Get well soon." He walked to his school which was Hyotei, it was also a famous tennis club but Souji wasn't interest in that. Souji did see his brother's match last year but Hyotei lost to his brother's school.

Souji then looked at his watch and saw he was running late so he ran as fast as he could, in soccer he is the fastest in the team. Souji is the captain even for a second year but he's not really what most would call a captain.

"Souji, you were almost late."A guy with silver-blue hair said giving a hi five.

"Kei, what are you talking?" Souji tried to act like he was on time this time but Kei his best friend saw through it all.

"How's your little brother? Kei asked. Souji had told Kei about Ryoma since they are best buds they tell each other almost everything.

"He's fine for now, Bunta is taking care of him."

"That's good."

"Bunta oniichan, you can stop holding me like that, I won't go anywhere." Marui was lying next to Ryoma on the bed while holding on it him.

"I know you won't but I just want to hold you."Marui smiled.
