"You're lying"

"Ryoma-"

"YOU'RE LYING!"

Ryoma screamed, his face red. He moved to- to do what he didn't know, maybe slap Yuuta for joking about such a thing- he struggled, thrashing as he tried to stand. His IVs painfully pulling at his skin and his leg unwilling to support him. Yuuta rushed over, his arms moving automatically around Ryoma to hold him up.

-SLAP-

Yuuta let go, his hands flying up to hold his cheek. Ryoma was leaning heavily on the hospital bed, his eyes glassy and broken.

"You're lying. You're lying. You're lying." He sobbed.

"Ryo."

Nurses ran into the room, looking horrified at their patient's position. They swiftly ushered Yuuta out of the room and went to setting Ryoma back into the bed.

"Now dear, I need to ask you a couple questions…"

"Lying, he's lying." Ryoma muttered.

"Dear?"

Ryoma's eyes shot to the nurse standing closest to him.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu, Oishi Shuichiro, Kawamaru Takashi, Momoshiro Takeshi, Kaidoh Kaoru, Kikumaru Eiji, Inui Sadaharu, and Fuji Shyuusuke."

The nurses shot each other worried looks.

"My brothers, can you find them for me?" Ryoma spoke in a small voice, making his eyes widen in such a way that he knew they'd do whatever he told them too- Shyuusuke had told him so.

"Of course." The youngest nurses smiled. For a moment the room went silent, most of the nurses left. The last fixed his IVs and stood next to him.

"Now I need to ask you a couple questions…"

"Ok."

"Can you tell me the date…?"

Three nurses stood in a circle outside of room A42.

"Is this the room?" The youngest asked.

"Yeah, the boy." The oldest confirmed her voice grim.

"He asked about the others?" The male nurse questioned quietly.

"I found their picture, they were a tennis team." The youngest said, pulling out a copy of Monthly Pro Tennis.

"They won the nationals?" The man said impressed, his son was on Gyokurin tennis team and he knew his son was a good player, he also knew his son's team didn't win the Kanto Regional tournament.

"Yeah, not even two weeks ago." The older woman said sadly.

"They must have been close if he's asking for them. What's happened to them?"

"Right now? Two others are alive, one is in the operating room and the other is in a coma."

"What are they're odds?"

The woman looked away.

"What do we tell him?"

"Nothing until his parent's get he-"

The doors slammed open. "WHERE'S MY SON!?"

The old nurse ran towards the man and woman, a young girl close behind them.

"Ah Echizen-san!" A brown haired boy (Yuuta) exclaimed, moving up to intercept the couple and girl.

"Fuji-san!" the girl exclaimed, moving to hug the brunet.

"Fuji-kun!" the man yelled a second later. "Do you know what is going on?" the woman question softly besides her husband.

"The-There was a train crash. The-They were all on board."

"Oh! Fuji-san!" The girl cried, hugging the younger boy closer.

"And the- and Ryoma?!" The man yelled, his eyes moving around hysterically.

"He-he's the best off. He's in that room over there."

"And the others?" the woman asked.

"Aniki and Kikumaru are the only others that didn't- that didn't die on impact."

"Oh God."

"Kikumaru is in the operation room and Aniki… Aniki is as good as dead."

So Nanjiro, Rink, and Nanko finally make an appearance!
