Recap:
You were being beat up when a man stopped Yukino, Yolande and Sumico. Yolande and Sumico had run away when they heard the man's voice. However, Yukino looked at the man and froze.

Story Start:
Yukino dropped her racquet, and fell shakily to her knees, her blue eyes widened in shock and fear. "Te-Tezuka!" Yukino shouted in her annoying voice, sounding like nails scratching the chalk board. "Yukino! What Have You Done?" Tezuka said in an angry deep voice, with his fists clenched, while he stepped forward. "Ple-please don't hurt me! I'll never do it again." Yukino said with a shaky, quivering voice. "I'll deal with you later!" Tezuka said with a glare at Yukino. With the upmost care, Tezuka picks you up bridal style. "Why do you care so much about her?! She is the Devil! The Monster has red eyes, and it changes the minds of people. It does not deserve a name, because the Monster is not human." Yukino screams with hate, upon seeing Tezuka's concerned face. "I would not be speaking Yukino." Tezuka says between clenched teeth in an angry voice.
You watch with amusement, while Yukino falls to her knees in shock. However, once you realize you are safe, with each pump of blood, you feel shooting pain. You look down at yourself and see red, thick blood covering you. The pain was overbearing and you feel yourself drift out of consciousness. The last image you remember seeing is Tezuka's concerned face, before passing out.
"Serenity...Serenity, can you hear me?" You hear a woman ask you as your eyes flutter open, only to close due to the bright light shining through the curtains. Once again you open your heavily lidded eyes, to come face to face with a beautiful lady with brown-blond hair and brown eyes. You look around the room and see Tezuka sitting in a chair, sleeping. "I am Tezuka's mother, Ayana. How are you?" Tezuka's mom says in a sweet angelic voice, drawing your attention back to her. "I'll live." You say in a scratchy, whispery voice. "Don't worry. You aren't going to die." Ayana says with a slight laugh that sounds like tinkling bells. "How long have I been out?" You ask with your voice alittle stronger. "Hmhm, about four hours." Ayana responds while looking at the clock."Would you like anything? Are you in any pain?" Ayana asks in her sweet voice. "Some tea would be nice, thank you (arigato)." You respond pleasantly. "I'll be back soon." Ayana responds while walking out the door.
You began to stretch your body, testing out the damage. You give a small yelp of pain as you move your ribs. You felt a strong hand on your stomach, pushing you down. "Do not move, you were hurt pretty bad." You look up to meet yellow-brown eyes. "Tezuka, thank you for helping me, but I should go." You respond trying to get up, only to fall back on the bed with a hiss of pain. "Not until you are healed." Ayana responded coming in with the tea. "Here you are. I will be right back" Ayana said while leaving. "I do not want to intrude on your family." You respond looking down at your hands. "It is fine. Do not worry." Tezuka responds with a sigh. The sound of the door bell, interupted any more conversation. Tezuka got up and went to see who was there, only to be rushed at by a blue blurb. "Serenity! Serenity! Don't Die! I have yet to become your friend!" Eiji screeched, crying water fall tears. "Don't worry Eiji. I am fine. Although, I don't think my hearing is quite the same." You respond with your hands over your ears. "Why! What is wrong with your hearing? Did those girls make you hard of hearing? Are you going deaf?" Eiji yelled with tears glittering in his eyes. "No, but I will go deaf, if you do not lower your voice." You said with a groan. "Calm down Eiji. Serenity is going to be fine." Ayana said in a calming voice with a sweet smile. Eiji seemed about to yell something, but was hushed by a hand covering Eiji's mouth. "Relax Eiji-sempai. Serenity is fine. There is nothing to worry about. Besides, if you shout any more time, you are going to make us all deaf." Ryoma responded while removing his hand from Eiji's mouth. "You really are fine?" Eiji asked quitley with two tears trickling down his face. "Yes." You reply simply. "How are you Serenity? Are you in any pain?" Oishi asks in his motherly voice. "Not really." You respond looking up to see the whole Segaiku team. "Her ribs hurt." Tezuka said. You notice people get worried and concerned, except Ayana. "Maybe she should be brought to the hospital. Serenity could have broken bones." Oishi said with concern. "I did not feel any broken bones, when I examined her. Just bad bruises and a couple sprains." Ayana responded. "My ribs are not broken but a little sore." You respond with a sigh. "Saa, how would you know, Serenity?" Fuji asked with his azure blue eyes open, trying to figure out my life with his tensai (prodigy) eyes. "Let's just say I have some experience." You respond. "Nya! Nya! I am glad you're fine, Serenity!" Eiji said. "Does your Great, Great Aunt know?" Oishi asked. "I tried calling, but it seems that she is not home at the moment." Ayana said. "Coach Ryuzaki has a business meeting to attend." You respond.
After a while of talking, everyone had to leave. All day you were treated with hospitality. It was odd for you, because you were not use to the attention. However, the Tezukas would not have you leave until you had someone to watch over you.
"You evil child!" A lady with red hair screamed, while pulling you by the hair into the bathroom. "No, please don't make my lights go out! Please, I don't want that!" Your younger self screamed in fear.
"You will not play tennis, or do anything that makes you happy. You do not deserve to be happy! You are the devil in disguise! You should die! Why couldn't you have been a boy?!" The red haired lady yelled, while holding you under the water, until you past out.
You woke up in a cold sweat, panting. You started to cry, when the door opened. You quickly wiped your face, removing traces of your tears. "Serenity, are you okay?" Tezuka asked walking to your bed, and pulling up a chair. "Yeah. I am fine. Just a bad dream." You say with a relieved sigh. "Serenity, we are here for you; whenever, you need to talk." Tezuka responded. "Tezuka, I want to tell you. I need to tell someone, because it is eating me up inside, but I am afraid to." You respond with your head down.

You feel a warm finger under your chin, lifting your head up to become eye level with Tezuka. "I am here for you. Let me help you support the weight you deal with. Let me be your pillar of strength." Tezuka said. "Tezuka... I... I was..."

I actually got to use my title for the story in this one. Yay. lol. Next Chapter is up.
