I don't own anything of Prince of tennis!
The rumors were spreading like a wild fire in a dry forest and it began to reach the ears of Seigaku's tennis team. Most of the girls in Echizen's class began to talk among themselves, whether or not this 'Sanada' person had just asked Ryoma out on a date and they had been in a very excited mood for the rest of the week. The boys on the other hand had wondered where the awkward atmosphere had come from. As for Ryoma himself, he had been ignoring what everyone had been saying about him and Sanada and focused more in class.
But the more Echizen focused in class, the more his mind went to a blank page. He began to imagine strange words being said and someone who was whispering to him when there was no one around him during this time. Ryoma put his head down to block the images out but they just kept coming like he was being shown a movie inside his brain. Blocking the outside world, Ryoma tried to block the images out at the same time.
"Hey, Echizen. Is it true?" The images in Ryoma's head disappeared and the pain in his head seemed to have vanished along with the images.
Opening his eyes, Ryoma saw his team mates, Momoshiro and Eiji standing before him with worried looks on their faces. Ryoma rubbed his eyes and smiled up at them.
"Is what true?" Momo and Eiji looked at each other and showed Echizen a picture.
Ryoma looked at the picture carefully and nearly fell out of his seat. Feeling a little bit embarrassed that he and Sanada had been caught hugging in between the doorway of the classroom and the hallway. Back then, Ryoma hadn't really been thinking very clearly and was pulled into the moment by Sanada. Echizen sunk into his seat fearing the worst that someone had been selling these pictures or even worse, showing them to a teacher and might try to get him expelled by posting fake pictures up of him on a chalkboard.
"Our poor baby. Forgets who we are and then this happens to him. Momo-chan! This is a serious problem!" Eiji exclaimed as he rubbed his face against Ryoma's.
"I'm sure Inui must know who it is by now. Let's go see if we can find some clues." Ryoma began to feel a little better after hearing his team mates were offering to help him out and followed them to Inui's class.
Inui's class was almost empty compared to the other classes and the two of them saw why. Ryoma on the other hand looked disgusted to just going inside where the older boy was performing his scientific studies on juices. The older teen straightened his glasses and poured a drop of some red liquid into a glass with green liquid in it and a small cloud of black smoke arose from the cup.
"Ninety percent done. Ten percent a failure." Inui spoke out as he jotted his recent percentages down in his small hand book.
"Inui! Put that down and help us!" The said man looked up from his book and then up at Eiji who had a concerned look on his face while waving his arms wildly.
"I'll try to be of much help as I can. If you want to know about who had taken that picture, it was-" Before Eiji, Momo and Ryoma could hear the name being called, Kaidoh, the team's human-snake had barged his way into the class room and was now dragging the scientist student out of the class room in a huffy mood.
"Momo-senpai, Eiji-senpai, thanks for all that you have done. But I got to go see someone right now." With that said, Ryoma walked out of the classroom and down the hall.
"Poor kid. I wonder if Tezuka's heard about it." Eiji asked as he turned to face Momo.
"Don't start feeling sorry for Echizen. He got mixed up with one of our enemies, I'm sure he's got a plan to get himself out. We can't meddle in these things. Or so Tezuka would say, let's go help the poor bastard!" Momoshiro had Eiji going there for a second and it took a few seconds to sink in before the other boy realized what had been said.
"How are we going to help him? We can't follow him, he might notice us." Momoshiro flicked his index finger sideways in a 'no' gesture.
"Not if we're in disguise he won't." Eiji's face lit up with excitement as Momo told his great plan to him.
Ryoma felt humiliated and angry at the same time that the other students were making fun of him and Sanada. The girls that were walking in the halls and passing Ryoma as they did, were giggling and chatting amongst themselves. One of them even stopped Ryoma in his tracks and was now asking for an autograph. Ryoma was puzzled as to why the girl would want his autograph when all he did was hug another man. He signed a paper for her anyway and received a loud shrieking sound in his ears before he went about his way.
In his pockets, something was vibrating against his leg and he knew it was his cell phone. He pulled the small phone out of his pocket and flipped up the cover. Speaking of the man he had been hugging the day before, he quickly rushed outside of the school and put the phone up to his ear. If anyone could make his day better, it was Sanada-san. The older male always knew what to say and had great suggestions for him.
"Sanada-senpai, could I...um...see you for a bit. It's urgent." Ryoma felt insecure about whether it was safe or not to be talking over the phone about his problems.
"I'm fine it's just, please meet me at my school after school is over." Ryoma felt like he had a giant stomach ache with a fever at the same time. Sanada was the most likely to win an award for being nicest person in the entire world.
He had been told by the older teen that he had a practice match to be at soon but had explained a different situation with his team mates and told them he wouldn't be able to go to the practices with them today. Echizen hung up the phone after saying his goodbyes and stuck the phone back into his pocket. Feeling the sensation of being watched, Ryoma looked around but didn't see anyone out of the ordinary.
Ryoma was about to walk back into his school but something white caught his eye. Turning back quickly, he noticed that the bushes were shaking and someone or something was making a bit of noise behind them. He rushed over and pulled the bushes apart and was surprised to see the two people he had met a few days ago. Yuuta and Mizuki.
"Yuuta-senpai. You lied to me!" Ryoma went to take a slap to Yuuta's face but his hand got caught by Mizuki's hands.
"The crazy things a kid can say, Yuuta, get some rope and duct tape. We'll put on a great show for Sanada-san." Yuuta looked at Mizuki and Ryoma with a pained look.
"Mizuki...we're not doing anything bad to Echizen are we?" Mizuki held Ryoma against his body and smiled eerily at Yuuta and down at the boy.
"Of course not. We shouldn't get our hands dirty for such a tramp like this one. I'll prepare the note for his school and Sanada after we tie him up. His team won't be able to go anywhere without their prized tennis player." Mizuki snarled and grinned from ear to ear as he led both Ryoma and Yuuta to an empty gym in the school.
Mizuki found the equipment room immediately and pushed Ryoma toward the small room that was sealed and required the assistance of a key. Yuuta was given a strange look from Mizuki.
"You should be knowledgeable with this sort of thing." Yuuta scowled a little but took a paper clip from his pocket and rearranged the clip so that it was taken from its original shape.
Using the point of the paper clip, Yuuta stuck the paper clip into the key socket. He moved it around a bit until they heard a click sound. Mizuki smiled and shoved Yuuta away from the entry way of the equipment room. He turned the door knob and opened the door revealing what equipment the gym had stored.
Mizuki chuckled as he handed Echizen to Yuuta, placing Yuuta's hands over Ryoma's mouth and hands that had been held behind his back all this time. Mizuki rummaged through the bins that were on a shelf and with luck on his side, found a bit of rope. He pulled the rope out along with a piece of duct tape that was stuck to the rope.
"My, my, isn't this just a weird little coincidence?" Mizuki asked and straightened the rope out a bit while taking the tape off and fanned it out, making sure there was enough stickiness to it.
Ryoma struggled with Yuuta to release his hands but they were in a tight hold against his own. Mizuki smiled down at Ryoma as he stuck the duct tape onto the boy's mouth firmly. Using a pair of scissors from one of the bins in the room, Mizuki cut off the amount of rope they needed and took Echizen off of Yuuta's hands while turning the boy around so that Ryoma's back was facing him.
Mizuki tied their prisoner up by binding the boy's arms first and then laid him down to tie up his feet. Yuuta looked away while Mizuki pulled out a video camera from his bag.
"Ryoma, do you care to say a few words to Sanada-san for me?" Ryoma looked away from the camera while Mizuki enjoyed watching the sight of a tied up tennis player.
All three of them heard a buzzing sound and began looking around. Only Ryoma knew it was his phone until Mizuki caught the sight of Ryoma's pant leg shivering like it had a cold. He smiled again and took the vibrating phone out of the pocket. Still smiling to himself, Mizuki flipped the phone open while he handed Yuuta the camera to hold onto.
"You have reached Echizen but since he's not able to speak, I'll take your call for him. You see, Sanada-san, there are nice people and then there are the bad people who act nice. I'll be giving you a video tape soon and it will show how low, Ryoma can get when he's pressured. I even wonder if this will affect his team in any way. He is quite known around these parts. That's all I have to say, good bye, Sanada-san."
Mizuki hung the phone up and placed the phone in his pocket. He took the video camera back from Yuuta who was now looking away from the situation. Mizuki zoomed in on Ryoma's face and then his chest that was rising a bit rapidly now. He got Yuuta to hold the camera on Ryoma while he whispered something in Ryoma's ear. Knowing from the expression on the boy's face, it wasn't going to be fun to film. Yuuta wasn't sure why he wouldn't move, his mind was free to move away from the situation but his legs were too stiff to move. Like he was in the spotlight of some stage performance.
Mizuki chuckled softly and began to unbutton the boy's school shirt, revealing the ivory skin tone. Ryoma shut his eyes as Mizuki trailed his finger up and down the middle of his chest. Behind the camera, Yuuta felt sick to his stomach and a guilty conscience was slowly approaching the back of his mind.
"Hey, Echizen. Do you touch yourself at the thought of Sanada-san? Picture me as Sanada. I'll be gentle, Ryoma." Mizuki began kissing the side of Ryoma's head while he let his hand slide into Ryoma's pants.
Yuuta couldn't stand to watch the camera even as Mizuki planned out the next plot. Yuuta looked around and saw a piece of equipment that was just the right height to hold the camera in position while he left to get a clearer mind. Yuuta snuck out of the room and sat up against the gym wall, putting his head in his hands.
He wouldn't have agreed to do this if he knew what he was going to do. He knew it was going too far this time but couldn't help but go along with what Mizuki told him.
He heard a loud shuffling noise coming from inside and rushed in quickly in case Mizuki needed him. He was shocked to the spot as he stared at the horrifying sight. Mizuki had the boy pinned beneath him and he was trying to force Ryoma's underwear off but Ryoma was using both his legs to hold him off.
"M-Mizuki, what are you doing?" It was as though Yuuta had seen the devil for its true self. Mizuki had spun his head around in a slow manner and had a strange smile that made him look a bit crazy.
Yuuta gulped and backed away, letting Mizuki carry on with the task he was doing in the first place. Tears had been running down Ryoma's cheek and Yuuta was placed with a burden on his shoulders. His brother's voice began to make itself heard amongst the darkness of his mind as he tried to block out the righteousness of his older brother. It was as though it were a last minute timing to a bomb that was about to go off. Wouldn't he do anything he could to help a girl from getting the same treatment? He couldn't think of any other solution but to help Ryoma out of such a problem that happened because of him.
"Mizuki, maybe we should get at him another way." Mizuki was not listening this time and had his mind fixed on Ryoma and his body.
Yuuta looked away to figure out a plan. He began to doubt himself on his strength on prying Mizuki off of Ryoma. Hearing a sudden silence inside the room, Yuuta peeked his head around the corner and had to put a hand over his mouth as he turned away again.
His senpai was now on the verge of losing his place on his own team. And the worst of all, it was all going on the tape. Mizuki chuckled as he saw the huffing and puffing that Ryoma was doing now. Yuuta heard the sound of the tape coming off of Ryoma's mouth and he looked again to see that Ryoma was coughing up blood.
Yuuta looked away while Mizuki pulled out of Ryoma's body and did his pants up and fiddled with the video camera. Before Mizuki could say any more dark comments to the camera, the doors to the gym itself opened like a dark hole had forced them to pull open. Yuuta backed away slowly after realizing who it was.
Ryoma coughed again and this drew in an anger that Sanada could not explain. Yuuta looked at Mizuki and then back at Sanada and took off like a speed of light, leaving Mizuki behind to pay for the crime. Walking quickly toward the open equipment room, Sanada looked past Mizuki and the camera and his eyebrows sewed themselves together in a fury, Sanada took one glance at his fallen Echizen and another look at Mizuki and his camera.
"Hey, let's talk this out, Sana-" Sanada wasted no time in punching the other man in between the eyes, knocking the camera out of his hands at the same time.
Mizuki fell to the floor in agony as he held his nose with both hands while Sanada untied the frozen-state Echizen and took off his own shirt to cover his lower half up. With care, he picked up the shivering boy and held him tightly in his arms, walking away and out the gym doors.
Still in a bit of shock of seeing Ryoma like this, Sanada let Echizen down on a bench that was parked outside of the school building and away from the classes and all the people. Ryoma coughed up some blood again but stayed curled up in a ball and didn't want to seem to move a whole lot. Sanada tried to calm Echizen down by placing his arms around him but it only made things worse for Ryoma.
"I promise not to leave you alone again. I'm sorry, Ryoma." Sanada lowered his head in shame and held Ryoma's face with his hands.
"Sanada-senpai...it hurts." Another tear rolled down Ryoma's cheek just as he tried to get up.
"Don't push yourself." Sanada quickly embraced Echizen so that he could get Ryoma to sleep faster.
'I'll get you for this, Mizuki!' Sanada thought as he kissed Echizen's head and picked the boy up and carried him to his own house. He would have to inform his parents about the sudden sleep over.
A/n: Poor Ryoma-kun! I hate Mizuki! Anyways, you know the rules, R and R!
