Hello, everyone. I hope everything is going well.
Recap:
Serenity had "accidently" let slip that Ryuzaki was not
her great aunt but her great, great aunt.
story
start:
"Na-nani?!" (What!) Almost all the regulars shout
except, Oishi, Tezuka, Ryoma, and Fuji. "Sigh, Great! Now
everyone knows. Why'd you go and do that Serenity?" Ryuzaki
asked. "They were going to find out anyway." you responded
in a smug voice. "Sigh. Your right. Yes, its true, Serenity is
my great, great niece." Ryuzaki said. "Why would you lie?"
Momo shouted in confusion. "Because, Coach Ryuzaki did not want
people to know how old she truly was." Oishi said. "Hey! I
am not that old! I am only 57 years old, ahhe I mean 47, ehehe."
Ryuzaki said. "You knew about this?!" Eiji yelled. "Not
So Loud! You're going to make me lose my hearing!" Ryoma said
while wincing with his hands over his ears. "Yes, Serenity
mentioned it while Tezuka and I were walking to meet Ryuzaki."
Oishi stated. Fuji smiled stadistically. "Fuji and Inui were
wondering if it were true. So it was only a matter of time before it
was discovered." You said. "I had my suspicions, but I was
only 35% sure." Inui stated. "I had a feeling, so I began
to observe." Fuji said with his grin getting wider. "How?!
How did you know?" Eiji whined. Fuji just smiled more
sadistically and shrugged. You soon got up from the cot, but you
staggered a bit and felt steady arms hold you still. You looked up to
see golden brown eyes staring down at you. "Thank you Tezuka."
You said, moving out of his grasp. "Just don't do anything
foolish. And be careful." Responded Tezuka in an aloof voice,
but his eyes showed hidden emotions. "Thank you." You said
dropping you head with your bangs covering your face. "I am
going home." You respond while going to retreive your back pack
and equipment. However, Ryuzaki beats you to it. "I am going to
drive you home." "Sigh, fine, (demo) but it is only a half
a block from here." You say in defeat knowing that it was no use
to fight. "You do not live with Coach Ryuzaki?" Fuji asked
with his eyes open. "No she does not." Ryuzaki said with a
wishful tone. "Why! Why doesn't she live with you? Do you not
want her? Do you not have enough money to care for her? That is just
cruel! Hoi!hoi!" Eiji cried in a chibi form with waterfall
tears, while Oishi comforted him. "Eiji lets listen to the
explanation first." Oishi said in a calming voice. "Serenity
wanted to live by herself." Ryuzaki stated with raw emotions.
"What about her parents?" Momo asked. Ryuzaki flinched as
Serenity snapped "Do Not talk about me, when I am in the same
room, If You Want to Find out about me, get to know me and earn my
trust, But do not talk about me like I am not here." You say
while walking out. "I am sorry (Gomen ne sai!) I've said
something I shouldn't have." Momo said while bowing. "Fssh!
no kidding baka! (idiot!)" Kaido said. Before a fight could
break out, Ryuzaki said "It is not your fault; you did not know
it would upset Serenity. Serenity is just going through a rough time,
and needs people's help to adjust, even if she herself will not admit
it." Ryuzaki left quickly to catch up with Serenity, not seeing
the look of determination of all the regulars to help their new
friend Serenity. The Regulars shrug and leave to go to Takashi's
sushi bar.
You had just been dropped off and had decided to take
care of your shoulder. You peel your shirt down, biting your lower
lip in pain. You see a blue-black and yellow bruise on your inner
shoulder. You begin to rub salve into your sore muscles, ignoring the
pain that assaulted you. You had been hurt worse before. You let your
eyes wander the white, pink, folded puffy scars lining your shoulder
to your back and cringe as you begin to remember how you got
them.
Memory:
You flinch as you hear the whip of a leather belt
bite into your back and wrap around your shoulder. Blood flies past
you pattering the floor. "You will never play tennis again."
You hear a dark voice man say and laugh drunkenly.
Memory end.
You
shake your head, getting rid of the memory that you wish was only a
dream. "I do not want to remember, but I cannot forget."
You say with tears falling down your face. You shake your head. "I
made a promise to myself that I would no longer be weak! I will
become strong." You say with determination, while wiping your
tear streaked face. You look to see your face has no trace of tears.
However, your eyes are sad and have no light in them, and you have a
long face.
You head to bed, not knowing of the new horrors you'll have to face of tomorrow.
