/CHAPTER 1/

Echizen Ryoma was sipping on his water bottle, after practicing against the wall. The Nationals were over and it was almost about to snow now. He sighed. Practice was going to have to end early. Though when he picked up his bag, he was approached by a tall man with glasses. A brief case in his right hand, and his left in his pocket. "Isn't it cold to play tennis outside? It's be much better if we were in Madrid Spain," the man said. Ryoma's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?" he asked. This man smiled. "My name is Yushimitsu Tsubaki, and I have a question to ask you Echizen Ryoma. Have you ever heard of the Davis cup?" he asked.

Echizen nodded. "What does that have to do with me? I'm not a pro- "Ah, but I was very impressed with your results in the US open. No Japanese player has ever gotten past the third round since- "My dad," Ryoma said. "Yes, exactly. So I want you to be part of the Davis cup team," Yushimitsu said. Ryoma said nothing. Then he started walking away. Yushimitsu was surprised and walked after him. "What do you want? Is it money, or- "There's someone in America waiting for me. Don't have time for- "If you want, I'll send them over with us to Madrid. That's where the Davis cup is going to be held." Tsubaki said. He wasn't going to let Echizen Ryoma walk out on this. Japan needed him.

Ryoma smirked. He turned to Yushimitsu and said, "Alright, so you'll pay for everything?"…

/TERMINAL/

Kevin was waiting patiently in the terminal. Time away from his boyfriend was hard for him, but he had good friends like Billy and his girlfriend Stephanie. He was waiting in the airport because Ryoma was coming to get him. The blonde was so excited. Ryoma was going to play in the Davis cup. "Oi, Kevin!" a voice called out. Kevin turned his head and smiled. He dashed to Ryoma's side and tackled him with a big hug. "RYOMA!" he cried. Ryoma blushed and told Kevin to get off him. After all, they were in a public place. Kevin pouted in disappointment and helped Ryoma up.

"I just miss you so much," Kevin said. Ryoma smiled. "Well, let's go wait for the plane. We have to go to Paris, then take a plane there to Madrid," Ryoma said. Kevin had a big grin. "This is so cool! You're going to kick everyone's butt. Hehe, just don't faint again like- "Oh shut up!" Ryoma sighed. Kevin laughed. Though, it would be nice to lie in bed with Ryoma again, just cuddling like that.

/FLASHBACK/

Kevin was by Ryoma's bed side, waiting for him to wake up. His parents were already were there before, and left, seeing as how he wasn't going to wake up anytime soon. Ryoma's body began to stir, and his eyes began to flutter. He opened them and blinked once, then twice. "Where am- "Ryoma! You're awake!" Kevin said and tackled his boyfriend. He lay on top of him on the hospital bed, his breath on his neck. "Kevin, what happened?" Ryoma asked. The last thing he remembered was dashing around the court to try to get into the semi-finals of the US open. "You... you had to forfeit. Don't worry Ryoma, there is always the Australian open." Kevin said, trying to cheer him up.

They just hugged each other for a while and tried to enjoy the silence. "Kev," Ryoma said. "Yes?" Kevin asked, waiting for Ryoma to continue. "I want to go back to Japan and cheer my friends on. I really miss them," Ryoma said. Kevin laughed. "You think I would be upset? Ha! Just know that I'll be waiting patiently for your return," Kevin said and kissed Ryoma on the cheek. Ryoma smiled. "Thank you for understanding," Ryoma said...

/FLASHBACK OVER/

/MADRID/

Ryoma and Kevin were in their hotel room, resting. Tomorrow Ryoma had to meet the rest of the Japanese players and practice. They were just hugging each other, enjoying the silence. Ryoma sighed against Kevin's chest. He already missed the regulars. "Ryoma, why don't you call them?" Kevin asked. 'I swear he can- "I can read your mind now that we started dating." Kevin said with a grin on his face. Echizen frowned. His boyfriend was so annoying at times. Kevin smiled and kissed Ryoma on the cheek. "You shouldn't be so serious, other wise you'll get wrinkles." Kevin said. Ryoma pouted. Not glare, pout. "You're such a dork," Ryoma retorted. Kevin sighed. "You can do better than that, I think this relationship has made you gone soft!" Kevin gasped.

Ryoma took one of the hotel pillows and whacked Kevin in the face with it. "You suck!" he yelled...

/PRACTICE/

Echizen Ryoma got their early (ordered so by his lovable boyfriend), and was amazed. There were six courts for each of the four surfaces. The two types of hard courts (Australian and US), the red clay of Roland Garros, and the Grass of Wimbledon. He was in awe. He decided that since they were going to play on the clay surface this time in the Davis cup, he opened the gate to the red clay courts. There were benches between each court so you could put your stuff there without it getting dirty by the surface. Suddenly someone's hand was on his shoulder as he got up and took his racket out of his bag. "Oi, you Echizen Ryoma? Ne?" the person asked. Ryoma looked at the man and glared. So he's one of my team mates... he looks weak.

"The name's Hurashimi Utaro," he said. Ryoma looked into his eyes. He had a slacker's eyes. Brown. His eyes were brown. "What do you want with me?" Ryoma asked. The man was about 5 foot 8 inches, and had brown short hair (kind of likeShishido's). He had a lazy grin on his face, and this made Ryoma angry. His clothes were just black. Everything! Shirt, shoes, shorts, and socks! His pale skin though made him kind of sickly. That stupid lazy grin! Tennis should be taken seriously! "Can't team mates practice with one another?" he asked. Ryoma shrugged and pushed his hand off his shoulder. The guy smiled. "Very anti-social, aren't you?" he said. Ryoma just opened the can of balls and went to the other side of the court. Two balls went into his pocket and the other was in his right hand.

"Well, hurry up!" Ryoma yelled. Utaro sighed and went over to the other side and got in a ready position to return the serve. Ryoma tossed the ball into the air. He focused on the ball and when it reached it's peak, he gave a jump and hit it perfectly. Utaro could see it easily, but just let it go by dodging his head to the left. "Ah, you are quite interesting Echizen Ryoma." he said. Ryoma hated him now. What was this guy trying to do? Why didn't he return it if he saw the ball? Ryoma went to the advantage side and served again. This time a slice. Utaro then with unbelievable speed got to the ball and hit it before Ryoma could even see it. Ryoma gasped. Who was this guy...

"I'm going to be the captain of our Davis cup team, so see ya!" he said. And with that, he took his leave. Ryoma sighed. He himself still had a long ways to go...

/LATER DURING PRACTICE/

The only person out of the team that could Tolerate Ryoma was Utaro. The others, like Shinji, Mahabi, Kagei, didn't like Ryoma. Thinking he was just a cocky brat. "Oi, where's the other team mate?" Ryoma asked. Utaro sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration. "I don't know where Ryoga- "RYOGA!" Ryoma gasped. "Yeah, come to think of it. You two play the same way, and you look alike. Are you guys related?" he asked. "He's my half brother (he looks to much like Ryoma to be adopted, so I made him a half brother)," Ryoma said. "Well, I am still deciding on the team formation. I am planning on having you be second singles, do you mind?" Utaro asked. Ryoma shook his head. "Good, Shinji and Mahabi will play one doubles. Then Kagei will play four singles, and Ryoga will play three singles." Utaro said.

"CHIBISUKE!" someone yelled. Ryoma was then pulled into a hug from behind and was kissed in the ear. "I missed your cute face Ryoma," Ryoga said. Ryoma blushed and mumbled some curse words. "You shouldn't swear like that, or else I'm going to wash your mouth off with soap." Ryoga said. Ryoma sighed. Why couldn't he have just gone back to America and spend time with Kevin?

Me: Yes, I know. This is just the beginning.

Ryoga: Yay! I get to hug Ryoma!
