Thank you everyone! I'm glad you like this and hopefully a lot more action than the first one. Ryoma has to find Fuji. I'm not going to give much away this time, but hopefully this will be as long as the first one. I'm glad you all think that this is just as good as the first. I enjoy writing Prince of Tennis fanfics. Something about this anime just makes my mind go wild! And the funniest thing is I can spell their names now without a cheat sheet. YAY for me! LOL So anyway onto chapter two.

---------------------------

Chapter Two

Tezuka walked with Ryoma carefully out of the apartment building. The only place he could think of taking Ryoma was to his house. At least there he could keep a sharp eye on the young man. Once he got to the front door, Tezuka glanced out of the door, up and down the street to make sure no one was watching him. He put a hat and sunglasses on Ryoma and moved swiftly through the streets. He was just about to turn a corner that would lead them down to the subway when he saw two black figures running towards him. "Shit," he mumbled and ran, pulling on Ryoma's arm the entire time.

He ducked through a few stores and came out the back entrance just to get some space in-between them and the people chasing them. Ryoma stumbled over his own feet and ran right into one of the displays, knocking everything over. He started to pick everything up when Tezuka came back and grabbed his arm again. "Later! We have to move." They ran down the stairs to the subway just barely getting on it before the doors shut.

They both sat down and breathed slowly in and out, trying desparately to catch their breath. "They're going to hurt Fuji if I don't give myself up," Ryoma finally got out as his eyes started to water. He was tired of all these bad things happening to him, but what made him feel even worse was involving Fuji. Why couldn't things remain normal?

"Don't worry. I'm sure they won't kill him. They need him alive to get you."

"But I don't even know who these people are." Ryoma got up and moved towards the door, wanting to get off the subway as fast as possible.

"Akutsu was released two days ago."

His blood froze. "W-what? H-how?"

"We didn't want to tell you because we thought he would never try for you again. He got out because of good behavior. Apparently the judge said that he had a completely change of attitude since he entered into jail."

"That's no excuse! Why wasn't I at least warned?"

"We didn't want you to go back to the scared Ryoma that you were before. You were finally back to normal. It would ruin everything if knew."

"Did Fuji know?"

"No, we were afraid he would find Akutsu and kill him or something like that. Fuji still has resentment towards him." Ryoma sighed and stood by the door since the next stop was coming up. This would be where he normally got off of to go to school. "We're going to my house. It's two stops after this one."

Ryoma moved back over and sat down. "What are we going to do?"

"Find Fuji of course, but first things first. We need to get them on a false trail so that you could hide much easier. Ryoma, I'm sorry to make you go all through this."

Ryoma shook his head and slid down in the seat. Now that his adrenaline was slowing, he felt the fatigue wash over him. He felt tired before but nothing like this. It must have been the constant worry and motion that he was in for the past day. Even though he slept for a little while, it didn't seem like he slept at all. He massaged the knot in his neck, trying to calm himself down even more, but unfortunately, the stop came too fast, and they were moving again.

They walked through the station and up to the main street before Tezuka started down a street. Ryoma has never seen his house (author note: nor have I. So sorry if it was shown this is just my guess). Walking up a light flight of stairs, Tezuka pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the door. "Don't worry no one is home right now. I'm going to call the others. Make yourself at home," Tezuka said as he removed his shoes and walked off to get his home phone. He didn't want to risk being on his cellphone just incase Fuji managed to escape and called him.

Ryoma felt the same as he flipped his phone open and closed. He thought of nothing but his lover and what could be happening to him. He just prayed that Akutsu didn't have the same intentions with Fuji as he did with him. But, Ryoma knew Fuji would never let that happen. Fuji was strong; much stronger than Ryoma. He closed his eyes and relaxed against Tezuka's couch. Well relaxed as much as he could with the continuous nagging of Fuji's location and if he was okay.

--------------------------

(Warning: Fuji has a bad mouth LOL)

Fuji wiped away the blood that was trickling down his jaw. He blocked another kick from one of the men dressed in black, but because of his fatigue he missed the other foot coming from another opponent, knocking him down. The one with red hair revealing itself slightly below his black hood stepped on Fuji's neck, applying just enough pressure that it would cause him to choke. "I'll ask just one last time. Where would the Seigaku Regulars hide Echizen?"

The man let the pressure up slightly as Fuji gasped for breath. "Fuck off. I'll never tell you."

The man growled and kicked Fuji in the stomach again and again until Fuji grabbed his foot and twisted it off of him. Fuji rolled over and attempted to get up, but the other two men were too fast. They grabbed each of his wrists and held him tightly there as the redhead kicked him numerous times. Once he finished he grabbed Fuji by the collar of his shirt and held him up against the wall. "Think about it whether or not you want to tell us where Echizen is. When Akutsu gets here, time is up. You tell me or you face his wrath. Trust me. Ryoma was the last person to feel Akutsu's wrath. You don't want him doing the same to you now do you."

"Fuck you. Fuck all of you. You think I'm scared of you!" Fuji spat on the guys feet with a mixture of blood and salvia.

The redhead picked up a metal rod and slammed it against Fuji's head, knocking him unconscious. "Chain him up so he don't escape." The man opened his cellphone and dialed a number. "Sorry, boss, he's not talking. Maybe you can knock some sense into him." The man listened for a while. "Alright. See you then." He shut the phone and took one last glance back at the unconscious man. "Leave him. Let's get something to eat." The room emptied, leaving no one but Fuji and the guard standing outside of his door. There was no light shinning from anywhere, not even from under the door crack. Darkness plagued the room.

And yet another chapter. Question for anyone that knows: Have they ever shown Tezuka's house and what does it look like or mentioned who he lived with if he lived with anyone at all. I want to make sure I get this right but I'm not finding much information on the internet about it. It's still junior high but I don't know if he would still live at home. LOL I hate not finding the right information I need! Thank you for your help and reading I hope you're enjoying this. Please review
