Ok, we meet again on the second part of this story, thanks for all your enthusiasm regarding this story so here we go, the second part of the story, enjoy!

Warning: still the same, the characters are not mine and this is a little bit AU and some OOC also this is yaoi/shounen-ai, so view on your own risk.

That's all I guess, go read now and review me!

Oh by the way, the bold one represents the character's thought ok? So don't be confused, actually I want to write the label thought and who's thought it is but there is a reviewer says that it's not necessary so well…I try it but if any of you guys get confused, please do tell me and I'll edit it as quickly as I can. Thanks.

Sanada Genichirou could not sleep with the rain pours down like that. Sure the air was comfortable to sleep. Even his roommate had already slept soundly, yet not him. He turned to his side again then to another side for some moment and realized he was still wide awake. He sighed and sat up on the bed. Then quietly he walked out from his room. He was walking on the empty and dimly lit hallway. He looked around and sighed as he realized that no one was wide awake to even accompany him. Not that he was a sociable person in general but a companion would not be bad either. He decided to walk to the living room which of course he found it empty and quite dark. He sat on one of the couch and listen to nothing but the rain. He was not in the mood to turn on the television and broke this tranquil silence. So he just sat there.

He was quite comfortable and even getting a bit sleepy until he heard footsteps from the dining area approaching to the living room. He was awake and saw a slender form of Echizen walked quite fast passing the living room then vanished from his field of vision. The scene was fast. But he recognized the younger boy and he picked up the fact that the boy was greatly disturbed. The way he moved and the way his face expressed some pain. He was curious now and the sleep was now forgotten, perished into thin air.

He got up from the couch and walked out from the living room then looked at the hallway but could only catch that the boy was turning to the hallway which led to his room. He then wondered as he was looking into the empty hallway.

Why he's in such hurry? Something's strange about the way he walked like that…something's disturbed him…and is he sad? But why?

Getting no answers from that empty hallway, he sighed and shook his head thinking of why he should be bothered by that boy's problem. After all it was the boy's problem, not his and he didn't want to interfere. Thus he walked back to the couch and sat down again, shifting for a moment so that he sat on his side leaning to the back of the couch and placing his left hand above the back of the couch. His head rested upon that left hand while he was staring to the empty courts and the pouring rain out there and listening to its soothing rhythm.

However, his rebellious mind kept thinking back to a particular boy that he was lost to in the Kantou tournament. He did admire Echizen. For him, Echizen was a threat and one of big threats, similar to Atobe, Tezuka and Fuji also other regulars of Rikkaidai. That boy had proved his limitless ability of adapting and evolving during each game that he played also the particular game that involved him and he (A/N: Echizen) did win the game, despite that the boy was losing badly to him when they play at the first encounter.

Their first encounter was not really memorable but he still remembered it clearly. He still remembered how the boy just walked up to him and offering an opponent for practicing. That day was dark too just like today and it was raining. The boy had confidently challenged him and he was able to crush him (A/N: Echizen) in no second but later on their second encounter, the final of Kantou Tournament, he was the beaten one, such a change in just one week. Therefore, he had acknowledged him and was captured too. No wonder that Tezuka was focused on this boy, speaking of grooming him to be Seigaku's pillar of support.

His peaceful thinking moment was disrupted by a sudden voice coming from the hallway and he recognized that those slightly muffled voice belonged to Tezuka and the tensai, Fuji. He said nothing, keeping his silence as he wished not to be noticed by those two. They then passed the living room after stopping a moment slightly in front of the living room's door and shared such an intimate kiss.

So the rumour is true regarding that they're dating each other.

After sharing few minutes lip locking, they walked again, obviously not noticing his presence inside the already dark living room. Sanada could distinctively hear some words muffled out during the hot kiss, something mentioning about later and in the room. Then the kiss ended and both of them continued to walk down the hallway and were seemed in hurry. Sanada watched the whole interaction amusedly and after the couple had gone, he shook his head, slightly wondering what would be of them by tomorrow. A sound of door being opened was heard then it was closed and silence once again enveloped the whole living room and the empty hallway too. He too resumed to his previous thought of that particular boy.

After some moment of silence he then faintly heard of the sound of ball being hit by racket and the familiar thud of the bouncing ball who bounced against either the concrete or a wall. He looked over the courts the saw from the field of his vision but he saw nothing yet he was sure that he heard that sound. He got up from the couch and walked toward the window and looked through it to those supposed to be empty courts outside. He looked and looked again more closely. Though blurry he could make out a silhouette of someone that was standing outside at one of the courts. He focused more and then he could see though still blurry that that certain person was none other than Echizen Ryoma.

What he is thinking? Playing tennis in this kind of weather? Does he intent to get sick?

He watched for a moment the he saw that the boy didn't hit the ball anymore but just letting the ball bounced alone and fell onto the concrete and rolled. The boy was standing there and was looking up, seeming like enjoying the pouring rain upon him. The gesture of that blurry silhouette was suggesting something that had the atmosphere of sorrow. As quick as the mind could process, Sanada took a deeper thinking upon the series of event he had encountered since he was sitting in the living room. First was Echizen who was running away from something and was disturbed then there was also a happy lovey dovey couple and his mind came into conclusion soon after he put those all together in one frame.

Can it be that he loves one of them? But who?

Again Sanada's mind took over a quick running about previous events involving the boy and his interaction between those particular persons, Tezuka and Fuji and after quick scanning, he did find out some strange action from the boy whenever he was close to the captain of his tennis club. It was that the boy was quite jumpy and was even more expressive whenever Tezuka was close to him (A/N: Echizen) like yesterday on how Echizen blushed after being commented by his own team mates regarding his obsession on beating Tezuka and his private unofficial match between him (A/N: Echizen) and the Seigaku's buchou.

So now…it's all makes sense to me.

The soon the living room was empty and the couch was abandoned by the previous occupant.
