The nice walk was nice as the two friends walked towards to their usual training spot. "So Kaidou, how was Kyoto?" Inui asked as he wanted to break off the silence.

"Not that great," Kaidou replied slowly.

"Oh? Something went wrong Kaidou?"

"I tried going to your stepmothers place, but she wasn't there. She wouldn't be back until next week," Kaidou explained.

Oh, that explains it all. Inui shook his head, "it's fine Kaidou. I just wanted to see how she was coping without us."

Kaidou nodded slowly as the two walked in silence again but it was Kaidou this time who broke it, "um, Inui? Why are we at the arcade?"

Inui looked up in surprised and sure enough, they were standing in front of the arcade and not their usual training spot. "I guess I was so lost in focus that I wasn't noticing where I was going," he said with a chuckle as Kaidou hissed.

"Well, look what we have here," a voice said suddenly as the two looked and saw a boy that was Inui's age with dark brown hair and light skin.

"Renji," Inui murmur but it was loud enough to hear from Kaidou.

"Renji?"

"Remember that person I was talking about who goes to Rikkai Dai and supposedly we'll be facing them later on?"

Kaidou nodded as he went and stared back at Yanagi again, "this is him?"

Inui nodded, "long time no see Renji. It's been what, four years since you went to the tournament and I never saw you except for that one time?"

Renji smiled, "you still remember that, hmm?"

"Remember what?" Kaidou asked confused.

"It's none of your concern Kaidou," Inui said angrily as Kaidou looked at him surprised.

"Oh? You wouldn't say that both of us had a one-time thing and blew it off at that moment?" Renji asked with a smile.

"What? Both of you were lovers?" Kaidou asked surprised.

"Not lovers. Just sex buddies that's all," Inui said unhappily.

"But you loved it, didn't you? Even though I was home in Japan for a whole entire week, Sadaharu couldn't get enough of me," Renji said.

"THAT'S ENOUGH RENJI!" Inui yelled at him that took Kaidou by shocked and surprised as he had never seen Inui yell before.

"You just couldn't admit it, do you? We were humping like bunnies every single night until I had to go back to the tournament in Hong Kong," Renji said.

"Is it true Inui?" Kaidou asked as he looked at his friend beside him. For some reason, this angered, jealous and hatred of him for doing it so in the first place with Renji. He had thought that it would be his first time and Kaidou's first as well; but now, that wouldn't happen after finding this out.

Inui didn't say anything as Renji smirked, "you could even ask our parents if it were true. They caught us doing it once and we were punished for it even though they thought we didn't know what it was but we knew fully well what we were doing, huh Sadaharu?"

"All this time, I thought you were a virgin," Kaidou said quietly so that nobody could hear him except for Inui.

"I'm sorry Kaidou. I could never get my innocence back, but I never loved Renji at the time unlike the way I do to you," Inui said as Kaidou stared at him.

"Y-You lo-love me?" He stammered.

Inui nodded, "this isn't about that dream that you had several days ago, but I truly do Kaidou. More then anything in the world," he confessed.

"How can I love you? After finding out that you slept with Renji for the fun of it?"

"I was young back then Kaidou," Inui said.

"But you knew what you were doing with Renji! Who cares if you were young back then? I didn't know any of this stuff back then when I was kid and I had known that idiot Momoshiro for a long time! Probably longer then you and Renji!"

"Kaidou, please under…"

Kaidou shook his head angrily as he slapped the cheek of Inui's hard, "if you truly love me, why don't you go and think what you did to me then? I had no idea that you were smitten with Renji and that the person was your friend. All I want now, is to be left alone," Kaidou said as he glared at Inui one last time before taking off towards his house.

Inui watched him go as he rubbed the place where Kaidou had strike him, it was burning like hell and he really wanted to get back home to put an ice there to calm it down.

"There's a way to get him back," Renji said as he approached Inui who glared at his long time friend angrily.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Play tennis against me."

"What?"

"You did say it has been four years since we've last saw each other, right? Get a way to bring Kaidou with you when we have our match. If you win, you'll be able to defeat me in the tournament with no problem and you get your chance in reuniting with Kaidou."

"How will this help?"

"If Kaidou sees you are truly playing your heart out against me because of all the wrong doings I have done with you, he'll be able to change his mind. But if I win, you have to forfeit in the tournament and Kaidou won't ever see you change."

"I never forfeit a match in my whole entire life Renji," Inui said confidently.

"Then prove it. I want to see how you had changed the last four years that we hadn't seen each other," Renji said.

Inui nodded, "I want to see your play style also," he said as Renji grinned and the two shook hands before departing.
