What She Left Behind (Another Tezuka17)

Tezuka left the bank with everything in the box and drove home to change then drove to her parents place. When he got there he unlocked the door with the key she left him and found her parents crying in the living room ignoring a child of three years of age who was trying to get there attention.

"Toya come on." He said and the kid looked up at him. The kid smiled and came up to him.

"Mommy said you'd be coming to see me sometime soon." Toya said and Tezuka nodded.

"And I'm not going to leave you." He said and that's when her parents noticed him.

"Kunimitsu." They said and came up to him and hugged him.

"I'm sorry." Tezuka said and they nodded. "By the way she left these for you." He said and placed a file in front of them. "She apperantly started a foundation under your names." He said and her mother bursted out crying again. "I'll take Toya for a while so that you can calm down and so that he can meet with his greatgrandmother and his grandmother and aunty." He said and they nodded. "Also she had everything set for the funeral planned out as well as how it was to be pair for." He said then walked out of the house with Toya leaving her parents in shock.

He walked into his house to be met with a punch in the face from Fuji that he almost dropped Toya. "That was for not waiting for any of us to talk to." Fuji said and Tezuka placed Toya down for a few minutes and he pulled Fuji into a hug so that his friend could cry.

"Uncle Fuji why aren't you smiling like mommy always said you did?" Toya asked and Fuji looked at the kid.

"He looks like you?" Fuji said and Tezuka picked Toya up and walked into the living area where the other regulars and his family were waiting.

"I know." Tezuka said and handed Toya over to his mother. "Toya meet your grandmother and grandfather as well as your uncles and your aunty Sakuno." He said and everyone gaped. "And the person coming in from the kitchen is your great grandmother Sumire." He said and his coach almost had a heart attack.

"But but how?" everyone said at the same time and he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well the year before we left junior high Taki and I kind of…" He said then trailed off. "She didn't tell me about him. I found out just today in a letter she left for me." He said and handed it to his parents. "He's staying here till her parents say otherwise. Plus she asked me to make sure they can deal with things." He said and the regulars got up and took Toya from his grandparents so that they could talk with their son in private.

"Yeah Toya I'm your uncle Echizen." Ryoma said and Toya looked at him then to Sakuno.

"You're Aunty Sakano's boyfriend right?" Toya said and Sakano looked shocked at him.

"How did you know that?" Sakano said and Toya pulled out a photo album from his little bag he was carrying.

"Mommy always talked about all of you, even when she was in a different school. She kept track of what you were all doing. See." He said and showed then the album. "She went to all the tournaments you all had. I even saw the one were you guys went to nationals last year. Even though I was really small I remember hearing the shouting mommy did cheering for you." He said and Sakano started to cry.

"Toya are you saying that Taki brought you to our tournaments?" Oishi said and even the adults looked at them.

"Yeah she did. She said it was amazing at how quiet I was when I could hear the ball being hit from court to court. She said that the only times my eyes would focus on a game was if Daddy was playing. She couldn't get me to look anywhere else. That I even forgot about my bottle and let it fall most of the time." He said and that's when Sumire went over to a cabinet and opened it. There were recordings off all the games there. She looked at Tezuka and he pointed at the laptop that was on the coffee table. She scanned through the recording then paused it when something caught her eyes. She then ran back to the cabinet and pulled out a few more games. There on the one she was looking at the others saw Taki with her friends and Toya seated a few rows up from the team. She then popped in one of the games that Fuji and Tezuka both got ingured in and skimmed to see if she was there. Everyone came to see as well even Toya. It was a game that year before the girls transferred.

"Why isn't she in this one but you and the other girls are?" Momo said and Toya leaned into the coffee table and looked at them.

"That was a week after mommy started to feel bad again. She was too tired to get out of bed that she told me to go with the others to watch the game for her." Toya said and that's when Kunimitsu's brothers gasped.

"Ah I remember now." The brothers said and then ran up to their room. They came back down with a photo album. "Why didn't we notice when those girls came up to us asking about you guys." They said and opened the album. "See we got a picture of them. This was one that we got when you were all playing your first game when you entered senior high. She had a baby with her then." They said and Tezuka grabbed the album.

"You morons, how could you not recognize her?" Tezuka said and his parents grabbed the book from him to look at it.

"She was in a different uniform. Not Seigaku so we just thought she was some other girl who liked you guys." They said and Toya smiled.

"Mommy didn't go to Seigaku after you guys left." He said and Ryoma and Sakano looked at him.

"We never saw her at all when we went there even before the seniors left." The two said and he pulled out another picture from his bag.

"You wouldn't have since she looked different." He said and showed them the pic. "Mommy said that she hated people coming up to her because she was good at tennis so she used a wig and wore thick glasses so that people wouldn't know who she was." He said and everyone could only gape at the pic.

"But whenever she came to our practices she would never look like that." Eiji said and Tezuka smiled.

"That's because she usually got changed in the clubhouse that last year I should know." Tezuka said and they all looked at him. "Why the hell did you think I was always the last one out of the room anyway." He said and it all made sense to the regulars.

"You didn't." Oishi said and the others rubbed their heads.

"Was that why I always managed to smell white musk perfume whenever I came in from practice?" Eiji said and Tezuka nodded.

"Ne Tezuka why didn't you say anything to any of us?" Fuji asked and Tezuka looked at him.

"No one was supposed to find out about that year. Why do you think I was always so busy whenever any of you called that year. It wasn't that I was doing school work most of the time." He said and his parents nodded.

"He was usually out in the mountains with Taki. We should know we drove them out there so they could go hiking with the boys." They said and the brothers nodded.

"Any way this was mommy's favorite picture." Toya said and placed it onto the table. It was a picture of all the regulars seated at the park enjoying their free time. They were all in their uniforms. Tezuka actually had a smile on his face that was rare to see. Sakano was seated with ryoma's head on her lap as Fuji was laughing at Eiji jumping up and down because he wanted some of Oishi's lunch. While Inui was taking down data as Taka was trying to keep Kaidoh and Momo apart.

"How did she get this?" Tezuka's parents asked.

"Oh some of the girls from her school got it. But she confiscated it from then since it was distracting class. She never gave it back." He said and smiled. "Mommy did that a lot when it came to pictures of Daddy smiling." He said and pulled out a separate album and handed it to Tezuka. Tezuka flipped through it to find all the pictures were of him and so of the others. "That's how I got to know all of you through pictures." He said and everyone was silent. He went up to his daddy and sat on Tezuka's lap since he had sat crossed legged beside Fuji who was trying not to cry. "Oh I almost forgot." He said and pulled something out of his bag, it was a cell phone. "Mommy said something about Daddy's birthday and said that when her oba-san gave him the present to give this to him as well." He said and that's when Sumire remembered about the gift that was on the side table.

"Bucho it's your…" Inui and Kaidoh said but went silent as did the other regulars when they noticed the date.

Tezuka placed the gift in Toya's lap and let his son open it. There was another box but it had Seigkau Regulars engraved on it. There was a computerized lock for it so Toya skimmed through the cell and found what his mom told him. He then pressed send then the box opened. There in the box were letters and a DVD. They placed the DVD in the player and turned the TV on.

Hi guys, it's Kunimitsu's birthday I know but I thought that maybe you would all like to see this as well since you should have all met Tezuka Toya Ryuzaki. This was taken a few days before I came back to Seigaku with the girls. I thought it would be fun for you all to see what you've kind of been missing and a way to thank you as well.. I know that none of you knew that we came to all you games so hear are some glimpses at how things went.

Oh by the way the first game you had at nationals in senior high I went into labor. I didn't even notice I was going through contractions till after you guys won. The girls had to rush me to the hospital. Toyo was born one hour after we got there. My parents didn't know that Tezuka was the father until they got a glimps at Toya. They thought that Kirihara Yuui was the dad at first. But there was no mistaking him when he was born. He was a quite baby didn't cry at all when he wad born that scared the shit out of the doctors but I assured then that was how his father was like. He had Tezuka's hair style as well. It naturally looked windswept. Only way you could tell he was really my kid was when you looked at his eyes.

Well back to what I was saying that doesn't have anything to do with Toya being born was that I never really got to congratulate any of your great jobs at all your tournaments. I always wished that I could have played with you.

I also wanted to tell you that I'm sorry that I never really got to tell you guys that I wasn't sure that I would be able to stay with all of you for too long. Toya knew this when he turned two I told him. He understood. He also knows that his dad will of course come for him. Knowing you Kunimitsu, You always do the right thing. Sakano Sorry for all the birthdays I missed as well. I always wanted to be with you but I always managed to feel ill on those days. Mom and Dad should have given you all your gifts. There was one thing that they gave you that I wanted to tell you about. It's that necklace that you're wearing. Tezuka I know that you hadn't noticed but that was the necklace you gave me for my 12th birthday. It looked so much better on her that I thought you wouldn't mind seeing that every year I got something really expensive from you. Toya has most of my valuables in his bag that he's carrying around. Knowing him he won't put them down for quite a while.

To all of you there are letters in the box with a little something that I wanted you to do for me. All of you can read them on your own time but please don't tell anyone else about them except for the other that is involved in what I asked. Oba-san there is a letter there for you as well. I know that you've been taking good care of Sakano since I've been looking in on you both now and then as well. The team looked great when I came to take a look at thehigh school before the girls and I decided to transfer.

Knowing me I'll be causing you all trouble that you never expected. I'm sorry for that. I prey that you all forgive me some day. The other girls don't know about what was going on so they will of course need you all to explain it to them.

Kuni-kun, Oishi take a look at theDVD that I left for Oishi. I did some things for you both so you won't have to worry about next year with all the work you both will have to put up because of me.

Fuji in your letter there will be a CD I want you to listen to. It will help you with letting your feelings out so that you won't physically hurt Kuni-kun or yourself.

Inui we kind of stole some of your juice so we could find out how to make it better so that people wouldn't well die from them or make them feel ill. With your letter are some ideas that you'll have to follow directly.

Eiji the girls have my stuffed animals for you. They may help you cope with anything. Like most things do. Don't be to much of a burden for Oishi my friends will be there if you need anyone to talk to when things are really bad that goes for all of you.

Momo Kaidoh please take care of each other. I know that sometimes you fight but all things must come to an end. I've seen you both on your own times trying to think of ways to apologize to the other. Even though it usually does the opposite. Momo there is a card in that letter use it well. Kaidoh there is a card in yours as well I know that you'll put it to good use.

Taka-san I know that you haven't played for a while but still you had done great in the games. In the letter you have I have put some letters of recommendations for people to help at your fathers shop and at your own when you open yours up. Also I have talked with some of my old teachers and they would like you to help them teach some of their students how to cook if you are interested their names and Phone numbers are in the letter as well.

Now Ryoma what could you think I could say to you. Well I say thank you first of all for taking care of my twin sister. Secondly I say you have my permission for you know what. You can't hide it from me I saw the damn bill since I went to the same place to get Toya's medical bracelet engraved. Also I prey that you live a long life together.

Now for The Tezuka Family since I know that Kuni-Kun isn't just playing this for the team. Thank you for all you've done for me. Mrs. Tazuka I love you as a daughter would a mother. You've been there for me whenever my parents couldn't be. Mr. Tezuka thanks for the late night emergency calls that I did. And thanks for not saying anything to Kuni-kun. As for you two brats in your brothers letter there are some pictures for you that I got signed by your favorite bands since I went to the America a few times. And also don't be to much trouble for your brother he had a lot on his plate now.

As for you Kuni-kun…(she had tears in her eyes) what can I say that I probably haven't said already. Thanks you for everything you've done for me…(The tears started to fall)…Thank you for giving me a chance to be something more then a friend to you…Toya was a blessing I got from you since I was told that I could never have kids from my doctors a year before he was born.(she whipped at the tears) I know that you probably still can't get what's going on processed in your head,but please stay strong for me. I need you to be that for me when I can't be. Toya is going to need you know more then ever. He knows that for the past few days I haven't been around him because I need to be with you guys. He never sleeps alone so you know what to do. If I haven't said it already to by now, I love you with all my heart. And I always will.

Toya take care of your daddy, uncles, aunty, Grandparents, and your great-grandparents. Baby I'm sorry for not seeing you before things got really bad. I just needed to be with your daddy as long as I could. Remember to always say your prayers before you go to bed because I'll always be there to hear them. I love you baby. Oh and Tezuka there is a CD with you letter for you to play to ease him to sleep when he's missing me.

I love you all. And I hope you all forgive me someday for all this….dad you can turn it off no…mom stop crying or I'll… (She broke down crying and then the visual went black)

No body knew what to say as pictures of all of them sometime in their lives came up onto the screen.

"It's a Ring?" His brothers said then Fuji read the inscription out laud.

"To my Queen of Tennis. From your Loving King You'll always been with me."

Everyone turned to see Tezuka placing Toya into his car. Then to there surprise they all gaped at seeing a glisten of a ring on his finger and that something seemed to be appearing just above his shoulder. It looked Like Taki bending over to place a kiss on his cheek then she turned to then and smiled then disappeared right in front of their eyes.
