Reply to Reviewers, please skip this part if you aren't one of the reviewers, thank you.
Ookami Kage: thank you for reviewing, your review is greatly appreciated. I'm not confident when I posted this story, and decided to delete it if it's really bad, but I'm reconsidering it, thanks.
Kari073: thank your for reviewing. Yes, there is other pairing, it's going to be TezuFuji, JuubeiKazuki, one-sided TezuRyo, but don't tell the others about this. And no, Kazuki isn't Ryoma's boyfriend, just thinking that he could play some pranks on Ryoma, because he already has his ever-loyal boyfriend Juubei. grins
Nina-b: thank you for reviewing. I'll try to update as soon as my story is finished and as soon as I have the time to.
Lovin it: thank you for reviewing. I'm glad that you liked the last chapter, and hoped that you'll like this one too. Notice that I say that everything Kazuki does is a disaster? Heheheh.
CintaAnime4Ever: thank you for reviewing. Well, I'll take it that you're an Indonesian, am I right? Yes, I like Kazuki too, instead of Ban and the others, but I still like the others such as MakubeX, Juubei, Akabane, Kagami, and others. Almost all of the GB casts followed Kazuki to Japan and they will eventually show up, I promise, if I find the right time to make them do so. Hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
Kristina: thank you for reviewing, it's greatly appreciated. I too, like Kazuki, and of course, his ever-loyal protector. I hope you like this chapter too.
Mutaku: thank you for reviewing, eheheh. I'll update the next chapter as soon as I can.
Kali: ah, thank you for reviewing. I know that my English isn't as good as the people whose first language is English, but I'll try to improve my English so I could provide more easiness in reading my stories. I hope you like this chapter as well.
Animefreak1586: thank you for reviewing. This chapter will tell you who he really is. At least I know that many people like the fusion of Get Backers and Prince of Tennis now. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
Firedraygon97: thank you for reviewing. I'm not good at making crossovers too, actually, but I can't resist writing this story and I'm glad that many people like it. His relation to Ochibi is discovered in this chapter, I should have made Ochibi said my br- or something like that, sorry. I hope you like this chapter too.
Chibisuke: thanks for reviewing, I hope you like this chapter too.
A/N: I will make another story that is the counterpart of this story, telling about the relationship of Fuji and Tezuka, because this story is a Ryoma-centric story, that one is Fuji and Tezuka-centric story. But I'm still not sure whether to make it or not. What do you think? Should I make it or not?

Disaster Two The Almighty Know-Everything Kazuki to the Rescue!
The beautiful boy with long raven black hair made his way to the tennis courts he found before along with his and Echizen Ryoma's guardian. He walked while grasping a can of cool Ponta in his left hand while his right hand was dangling on his side, swaying a bit as he walked on the pavement.
He soon arrived at the said tennis courts and met a grumpy boy who was currently grumbling and mumbling to himself angrily thanks to him and his strange way of joking. He grinned a bit before shoving the can of cool Ponta to the grumbling boy and smiled serenely at him.
"Ne, Ryoma-kun, do you think we should go now?" he asked as he cocked his head to the right a bit. He waited for a nod from the shorter and younger boy because he knew the other boy too well to expect an answer from him at this kind of situation, he probably will grunt, then nod, or growl, then nod.
"Wai! Ochibi is going on a date! And it wasn't with Fuji nor Tezuka!" the redhead exclaimed as he jumped up and down, bouncing like how a hyperactive kid would, while Tezuka was growling and Fuji was chuckling amusedly. He glomped the said boy and nearly choked him to death. "Well, you're so lucky, Ochibi! I'll hear your account tomorrow, then?" he asked eagerly.
"Let go, Kikumaru-senpai, I wasn't going on a date," he frowned and tried to swat the hands that nearly choked him to death. He growled and took the Ponta before nodding to the beautiful long raven black haired boy and opened the can up. He gulped the juice down and dumped the can after he had finished the content to the nearby trashcan.
The redhead looked slightly confused, "Not a date? Then go to where?" he asked the shorter and younger boy cutely, his face showed his confusion and the beautiful long raven black haired boy chuckled at the remark. He looked at the white cap wielder boy and grinned at him. There, a growl then nod, the latter one was the correct one.
"What are you grinning at, baka a-" the boy with dark green haired boy retorted unhappily but was cut off when the taller boy closed his mouth with his hand. The taller boy placed his index finger on his lips and smiled at the younger boy who just freed himself from the taller boy and grunted.
"Ne, Ochibi sure grunt much after Fuuchouin-san came, I wonder if he would turn like Tezuka," the redhead murmured to his doubles partner while shifting his gaze on the dark green haired boy and the tall russet haired boy.
"I heard that, Eiji," the tall russet haired boy growled lowly as the redhead jumped in surprise and slapped his own hand on his lips to shut them. Sure, talking much will make you suffer.
"It's dark now, should we go now?" he asked. Somehow, a paper flamingo popped out from behind him and made its way towards the dark green haired boy and landed on his fingers.
"That's right, Echizen-san, you mustn't make your beloved boyfriend wait longer," the flamingo spoke up and Ryoma felt the sudden urge to crumple the paper it was made of and tore it into little bits of paper. "Let's go home, Echizen-san and Nanako-san must be waiting," the flamingo said, somehow its voice resembles the one that belonged to the taller boy that stood before him, none other than Fuuchouin Kazuki himself.
"I'll forgive you just for this time," the dark green haired boy smiled and tugged his cap lower. He walked slowly, following the long haired boy in front of him and their guardian.
--------------------
"How's your day at school, seishounen?" the stupid father of his was the first person that greeted him when he had gone home, and that made his sour mood and bad mood even worse. He growled and took off his shoes, while the paper wielder and their guardian followed suit.
"Terrible," he stated shortly. His cousin had come by now and heard the single word he said as the comment of today. He took his tennis bag and prepared to go to his room when his cousin's voice stopped him.
"What made the day terrible, Ryoma-san?" she asked, frowning a bit. She took some packages from the huge bag near the shoe rack and handed them to Ryoma who frowned and looked at her with a what-is-this? look.
"It's some kind of gifts from Kazuki-san, your birthday has just passed several days before right?" she asked, smiling. "Oh, and by the way, Kazuki- san will be staying in your room for some time while his room is being renovated, is that alright with you?" she asked, smiling happily at the dark green haired boy who nearly choked on his own saliva.
"What did you say!?" he screamed in horror as the information slowly sank to his mind. "Why can't he just stay with baka oyaji!?" he protested. Sure, he didn't mind Juubei staying there, but no Kazuki! He could ruin his sleeping time and his beautiful night with that I-know-everything-and-I'll- help-you-if-you-need-help speech.
"Ne, Ryoma-kun, are you sure you want to let your lovely foster older brother to sleep with Nanjirou-san?" he murmured near the dark green haired boy's ear and his breath tickled the sensitive part near that area.
"!#$%!" the dark green haired boy leaped up in surprise as he started to look astonished or something like that, but his expression was a bit undecipherable. He pointed his index finger at the older boy and growled angrily after he was able to regain his composure.
He remembered the incident that happened before they go home that evening. The flamingo somehow had managed to multiply itself into a thousand flying paper flamingoes. If you think that one thousand flying paper flamingoes are bad, then one thousand flying REAL flamingoes are worse!
He sighed in defeat. The twisted sense of humor both Kazuki and Fuji shared were unbearable. They were able to do what amused them while torturing the others while doing so.
"Fine then," he sighed in defeat again before walking to his room. Now his room will stay stuffed until the Kazuki's room was finished renovated. "How long does it take?" he asked, silently praying that it would be anytime soon.
"Well, it wouldn't be finished for another month, aren't you glad that you could spend nights with your older brother, Ryoma-san? You haven't meet him for quite some time now," his cousin said as she smiled. "And Kazuki-san is entering a school too," she continued as her smile widened, effectively avoiding mentioning the school's name.
"Juubei?" he asked.
"Ah, Juubei-san's room has moved and it's still okay so he could stay in his own room, and he is going to enter your school too," she answered.
"Why don't aniki sleep in Juubei's room then?" he frowned.
"Well.... Juubei-san's room is a bit too small for both of them, and since you're his younger brother...." His cousin reasoned.
He sighed again, "C'mon then, aniki, I'll make you tidy your things up," he walked up to his room while carrying the packages with him. He thought that he would just open it when his brother wasn't there.
"You didn't tell the others that he's your foster older brother?" she asked, trying to lower her voice when she said 'foster'. Of course, they weren't siblings. If they were, why would Kazuki's name be Fuuchouin Kazuki, not Echizen Kazuki?
"No," he shook his head. "I'll tell the others if the time is right,"
"Oh? And do you know when it is?" Kazuki teased him and laughed. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to the mini mart near here with Juubei to buy Karupin's cat food then," he said as he walked backwards for several steps and turned around. He opened the door and exited it, bringing Juubei in tow.
"Karupin's cat food is already eaten up again?" the younger boy scratched the back of his head frustratedly. Sure, he wanted to spend some time alone with his brother, but not at night because his brother turned to his talkative side at night, so he preferred it to be at afternoon or evening.
Even if he didn't say it out loud, most people know. They had been brothers since they were five. Back then, Kazuki's father had just passed away while his mother had passed away when she gave birth to him. He was adopted by Ryoma's parents along with his guardian, Kakei Juubei, and Juubei decided to be a guardian for the people-who-had-adopted-them's son.
Kazuki experienced some kind of mood swing, I guess, because he was nice and less talkative at the morning, nicer and manipulative at the day, become nicer and kind at the afternoon, nice and full of pranks in the evening and a bit sly, manipulative and very talkative at the night.
"Maa ne, Ryoma-san, you better go with them then," Nanako smiled at the younger boy. He nodded and quickly dumped his bags near the shoe rack, took his shoes and put them on, then ran out of the room to catch up with his brother and his guardian that had gone to the mini mart several minutes ago.
She smiled and turned to see Nanjirou. "They're so compatible, ne?" she asked and smiled at him. He grunted and grinned, "Well, that's youth for you," he said as he walked to the kitchen, leaving the young lady smiling at his back.
--------------------
"Ne, I think you didn't plan on coming with us, Ryoma-kun," the taller boy teased as his guardian kept silent. He was known for not meddling with other people's personal affairs and that really do him good, unlike a certain beautiful long raven black haired boy who liked to meddle with other people's personal affair and a certain light brown haired boy that liked to do so.
"Urusai," the shorter boy growled and walked to the mini mart near their house. They walked into the small building through the front glass door.
"Where's the cat food shelves?" they looked around for some time before the shorter boy guided him to the cat food section where there were many shelves containing cat food. They took some cans of cat food and went to the cashier.
"Ara, Juubei, I thought you've exchanged our money with Japanese yen," the taller boy frowned when he saw that his wallet was filled with cents coins. "Ne, Ryoma-kun, will you pay it and then bring it home? I'm going to exchange this first with Japanese yen with Juubei," he stated as he smiled.
"Okay," the younger boy just nodded. 'He left me.... Again,' he said in his mind.
After he had paid for the cat food, he walked home slowly. His mind started to travel back to one year ago, when they were going to go back to Japan, but Kazuki said that he would stay in the Infinite Castle dormitory school along with Juubei and his other friends. Frankly, he felt betrayed. He felt betrayed by his own brother.
He felt that his brother chose his friends over him. When Kazuki ran back to the dormitory school along with Juubei, the scene was almost like the scene before, when Kazuki and Juubei were going to go to the moneychanger to change their American dollars with Japanese yen.
He arrived at the front gate of his house and opened it slowly. When he first came back here with his family, it also felt like this. So silent. The crickets' sound was a bit comforting, but he felt that something is missing. No cheerful voice that teased him 24/7, no long raven black hair that looked like silk, no deep brown eyes, no greetings from a certain someone....
It felt painful to be reminded of the past he wanted to forget so badly when the object of his thought was actually already back, but left him again. He felt like Kazuki would go to America for his entire life and never come back.
'How silly of me, thinking like that,' he said to himself, 'Kazuki would never do that,' he continued, trying to reassure himself that Kazuki would not leave him for the second time.
He stopped for a while, remembering how his brother would run towards the front door to greet him when he came home, almost tripping on the step all the time, his long hair sway, blown by the breeze. He sighed and was about to reach the doorknob when a familiar hand tapped him on the back.
"What are you doing out here for so long? You look like someone that would meet his death when he opened the door," Kazuki said as he tilted his head to the right a bit, staring at his brother's deep golden eyes.
'Well, maybe yes,' Ryoma sighed. He was accustomed to the silence whenever he came home, just the sound of his baka oyaji and the voice of his cousin calling from the kitchen. He was accustomed to the silence since he came back to Japan, but why not now?
Kazuki stepped inside first, then closed the door again. Ryoma almost fell, well, he did fall back, to the back in the process because he was going to enter the house as well.
Ryoma cursed a bit and got up, opening the door again. The sight that welcomed him is the one that he missed so much.
Kazuki stood in front of him, smiling. His hair swayed, blown by the breeze. "Okaeri," he said to his younger brother.
Ryoma felt the urge to just jump and hug his older brother, but managed not to do so, or else he would get it the next morning in his school. There's no sound of feet running on the wooden floor, no sound of someone tripping over the step, no sound of cheerful and childish laughter, but that was enough.
'At least now he's really back,' he said to himself and entered the house.
"Oh yeah," Kazuki started, placing his index finger down on his chin, trying to look like he's thinking, "You look different from the last time I saw you," he continued. It had been almost more than one year. Ryoma had come back to Japan when he's still an elementary school student, and all the way until he's a Junior High School student, they hadn't meet each other.
"Of course, it's over than one year," Ryoma replied, frowning a bit. What did he mean by 'look different'? He still looked the same. Dark green locks of hair, white baseball cap covering half of his face and head, big red jacket, now the Seigaku regulars jacket instead, sly and conceited look on his face, cocky smirk, everything was still the same.
"No, what I mean is," Kazuki repeated, "You look really different from before, I wonder why," he thought for some time. "Ah, I knew! You must have fallen in love!" he said as he smiled to Ryoma who had the urge to kill him and generously order his coffin and make his tomb for him.
"What do you mean?" the frown deepened. Him? Falling in love? No way.
"Heh, don't deny it, I can see it in your eyes," Kazuki said, "You look like someone who had just fallen in love," the older boy continued as he walked to the younger boy's room, his guardian already leaving for his own bedroom.
"But I don't!" the younger boy tried to protest, but it was to no avail.
"Ne, ne, who's the lucky girl?" Kazuki asked teasingly, "Oh, or maybe the lucky guy?" he asked again.
"I DON'T!" the younger boy sounded a bit desperate by now.
"No worries, your kind aniki will be here to help you, so you can just tell me who it is," he said again, tapping his hand on the younger boy's shoulder, as if trying to comfort him, but just made him more desperate, and he hadn't ever been that desperate. Heck, the younger boy had never been desperate in his lifetime, but his older brother had successfully made him desperate.
"I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T!!!!!!!!"
