The Atobe and Tezuka police corp...

- Atobe Kei (Keigo's grandfather) had a love for solving crimes doing detective works and through this he met Kunikazu Tezuka (Kunimitsu's granfather) who was also into that sort of stuff and with his influence and money Kei had created their own detective business which immediately became a hit. The Atoka police force. And soon afterwards tuey merged their small business with Atobe corps (Kei's father's and brother owned ir) for better resources, but they operate separately from the corporation.

- In their youth both Keisuke (Keigo's father) and Kuniharu (Kunimitsu's father) got involved with police work and enjoyed helping people who needs it. At 26, the two were given a case that took them to America, the case intrigued both Keisuke and Kuniharu and they immediately left Japan to meet with the father who wanted to discuss things in face. They had worked hard on the case but everything came to a halt when the woman, Rinko, seemingly vanished and with no leads and no where abouts the case was put away, till such a time where the woman will appear again.

Soon after that Keisuke and Kuniharu went into the business part of Atobe corp.


His abusive past:

Reunion's

and a hero


Fuji couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the twitching form of the teams baby. It was amusing to see the usually apathetic boy so nervous, of was that excitement that caused him to twitch like that. "Saa, Ryoma-chan, you seem oddly restless, are you okay?" he raised an eyebrow in question, causing the rest of the team to turn and look at the prince.

Ryoma tugged at his cap, "I'm excited. I haven't seen them in a year after all." he tried to frown at his friends, which made the group smile larger at the adorable sight he made. The frown had the opposite affect Ryoma was aiming for as the look made it seem as if the boy was actually pouting and combine that with the large golden-green cat-like eyes he possessed, Ryoma made an adorable sight. Eiji would have leapt at Ryoma, intending to smother him in his death embrace when a voice stopped him from doing so.

"Ry-o-ma!" Someone yelled causing many heads to turn in the direction the voice came from, only to stare at three yound boys making their way towards a group of eight not to far away. The first boy they saw was lightly tanned with mid-back length fire engine red hair streaked with light orange and emerald green eyes. He was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a white turtleneck and some blue converse shoes.

The second boy was also lightly tanned but he had silvery-white hair with black tips that stood out proudly because of how naturally spiky his hair is and grayish silver eyes. He was dressed in a pair of white pants and a dark red long-sleeve. The last male was on the pale side but it was far from sickly, with tousled shoulder length dark blue hair with sea green streak through the strands. He was dressed in a pair of beige jeans and a dark blue long sleeve.

"Ryoma!"

The said boy smiled as he got to his feet, bracing himself for the usual greetings he'd get from his energetic friend, just as the red head reached him, Ryoma made sure his feet were firmly planted on the ground, as he felt a pair of arm threw themself around his neck, and a body slightly larger then him, collide against him, and belately realized that no matter how he had prepared himself for Alexander's hugs, he was just like Eiji, thus, they were both knocked to the ground with Alex on top.

Not to be deterred, both Chroma and Elliot dropped their bags beside the chairs, and without pause, bent down and skidded across the floor, on their knees, coming to a stop on either side of Ryoma, they proceeded to throw themselves around Ryoma, mindful of the redhead still on top of him.

"Ryoma, we missed you!" the white haired boy called out, "We hope you weren't too lonely without us." Chroma teased, with a smile, eyes glowing with all the happiness he felt to be reunited with the emerald haired boy he considered a younger brother.

From the side the rest of the regulars watched with smiles as their baby boys friends, well two of them, shot out various question, never pausing long enough to let Ryoma answer. Eiji had to be physically restrained from joining the younger boys on the ground. With a smile, Fuji grabbed his camera and began snapping pictures of the scene before him, in amusement, "They are so adorable."

Elliot rose up, so he was sitting on his knees, and ruffled Ryoma's hair, much to the said boys depleasure as he gently smacked the hand away from his head, which was absent of his usually placed hat, "Don't do that Elli!" Ryoma scowled, wrinklubg his nose elicting squeals and cries of kawaii from Eiji'

Chroma glanced at them as if just realizing that they had guest, "Who are you? Friends of our Queen?" Ryoma glared at Chroma while the group chuckled at the use of Ryoma's feminine moniker'

"Shut up Chroma!" Ryoma would've tugged at his cap if he was wearing it as he shot a chilling glare at his teammates and friends for laughing.

The white haired boy grinned and waved his hands in front of his face, "Maa, maa, Ryo-chan calm down and stop making such a scary face, it's unbefitting a queen to wear such a look." the smile that curled Chroma's lips caused Ryoma to twitch, resisting the urge to strangle his friend. He loved Chroma like a brother but some times he was just too much for anyone, sans Elliot, to handle.

Elliot rolled his eyes and smacked his boyfriend in the back of the head, "Knock it off." the blue haired boy glanced at Ryoma and shrugged, "You know Chroma." that statement was accompanied by two sighes, "So who are your friends?"

Ryoma turned and looked towards his friends/teammates and smirked at them while motioning them over. "These are my teammates and my friends." Ryoma gestured twards the stoice male first, "Our buchou, Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Tezuka nodded his head in greeting.

"The vice captain, the first half of Seigaku's golden pair, and the teams resident mother, Oishi Shuichiro"

"Echizen" protested Oishi while the rest of the team laughed, chuckled or smirked at the weak sounding protest and with a soft sigh and a smile he gave a short wave towards the three boys.

"The tensai and the resident sadist of the team Fuji Syuusuke"

"Saa..." chuckled Fuji as he opened his eyes to reveal steel diamond blue orbs "That's mean Ryo-chan." he replied closing his eyes while keeping a smile on his lips, "It is nice to meet Ryo-chan's friends."

Elliot and Alex looked uneasy as they glance from Chroma to Fuji and back again while the aforementioned white haired male smiled, "I can't wait to get to know you better Fuji-senpai." which put the Seigaku regulars on edge, one sadist was enough, two was just asking for trouble.

Before Fuji could say anything in response, Ryoma decided to conrinue with the introductions, "Next is the data man Inui Sadaharu. If he gives you anything don't accept it, especially if it's suppose to be his so-called 'health drinks'." Ryoma glance at his friends, "There is nothing remotely healthy about them, if anything they are completly gross and would most likely put you in the hospital first."

Many agreements meant that response except two. Inui being one who rather liked the taste of his juice and the other being Fuji whose taste buds died a long time ago.

"The strongest power player in junior high, with a split personality while a racket is in his hand, Kawamura Takashi." Taka-san gave a wave, a bashful smile forming on his lips before he rubbed the back of his head looking a bit sheepish. Alexander smiled and waved at the brunet.

Ryoma glanced towards the remainder who he has yet to introduce, "The redhead is the teams acrobat and net player, along with being the second half of Seigaku's golden pair, Kikumaru Eiji."

"Hoi! Hoi! Chibi-tachi, nya!" Eiji called out with a grin while waving his hand excitedly, his happiness was very evident. Chroma, Alexander and Elliot gave him an annoyed look for calling them chibi's.

Knowing their irritation at being called anything retaining to their height or their age, Ryoma decided it would be better to interrupt them before they got started on their long winded ranting, "Anyways" he stated, diverting his friends attention to the broom haired male, "Seigaku's trickster, Momoshiro Takeshi."

Momoshiro grinned with a wave, "But you can call me Momo-chan-senpai!"

The three stared at him with incredolous looks. Alexander wrinkled his nose and turn his head to the side. "I think I'll call you Momo-senpai instead!" the other two nodded their heads in agreement.

Momo crossed his arms, "EH, that's the same thing Echizen said."

"And the last person with the green bandana is Kaidoh Koaru, the teams viper and endurance player." Ryoma replied.

"Ffssshhhhu..."

Ryoma shook his head when the three glanced at him after hearing the hiss.

"It's nice to meet all of you. Ryoma spoken of you guys, so it's nice to finally put faces with the names and descriptions." smiled the white haired male, he was about to continue when he was cut off by laughter, and turned towards the source.

Alexander was bent over, hands clutching at his stomach as he laughed; everyone was staring at him in confusion, wondering what the redhead was laughing about. Ryoma, Chroma and Elliot were bemused by their friends behavior; in between the bouts of amusement, the group could make out the words 'Seigaku' 'dog' 'monkey' and 'pair'. As if that was some type of code Chroma chuckled while Ryoma and Elliot rolled their eyes and smirked.

"Hoi, what's going on, nya?"

Ryoma faced the team, "When I first started at Seigaku, I might have told them a bit about you guys." at the silent question, the prince of tennis decided to continue, "I described Kaidoh and Momo as Seigaku's dog and monkey pair." Eiji was the first to burst, followed shortly by the soft chuckles of Fuji, the others tried to conceal their amusements but failed, even Tezuka couldn't stop the smile from overtaking his feature. Momo protested and Kaidoh hissed while glowering.

After a while the white haired male was able to stop his laughter enough to introduce himself, "My name is Chroma Fain Cunningham, feel free to call me Chroma and no san, chan or kun needed just Chroma."

The red head, finally getting his laughter under control, raised one arm over the prince's shoulder in a wave while the other was wrapped around boy wonders shoulder, "Alexander-James De Vera, but you call me Alex or A.J. Ryoma, Chroma and Elliot calls me Xander some times so I guess you call me that as well. Oh yeah there will be no need to add the san, kun or chan to my name as well."

"Elliot Sylvan Hawthorne. Call me Elliot or Elli, doesn't matter to me. There will be no need to add the suffix to my my name as well besides it will sound weird to hear It said that way." was the blunt response from the blue haired boy.

"It's nice to meet you three." called Oishi with a smile.

Eiji bounced around with a grin, "Yeah, we never knew ochibi-chan had any other friends aside from us, nya."

"Heh" Chroma snorted and glanced at Ryoma with a frown, "What is it Ryo? Is there something wrong?" Elliot and Alex glanced towards the boy as well, "You know we were never fooled by that fake nonchalant look, so what is it?"

Ryoma sighed, and glanced at his Seigaku friends briefly before looking towards his oldest friends, "She's back!" at their confused look, the prince of tennis elaborated, "My mother, she's back. She sent a letter to my dad, the night before."

The three froze at hearing those words. Rinko had pretty vanished from the face of the earth and they never thought they would ever see that bitch again, but here she was making a comeback and trying to ruin Ryoma's life once again.

"Let's go somewhere to talk about this new development shall we." Chroma's tone was anything but pleasant. He was pissed and it was showed through the tone he used.

Fuji opened his eyes a bit, a creepy smile gracing his lips, "Yes, let's go and talk about what we're going to do to that bitch once she makes an appearance."


With

Atobe


Stepping out of his limo, the young Atobe heir glanced at the house in front of him in surprise. He never took Ryoma for being part of the wealthy family, but judging by the boys attitude most times, he should have guess. Shaking his head, Atobe made his way to the door, upon reaching it he knocked several times and waited for an answer.

While waiting for someone to open the door, Atobe's thoughts returned to the younger male and a fond smile etched it's away upon the arrogant diva's lips. He didn't know when or even how it happened, only that upon realizing his own feelings for the boy it was too late to turn back.

He had fallen in love. And with the worst possible person. It was nothing to do with the boy himself, but with all the headache and competition that will erupt when everyone finds out just how many people are seemingly in love with Ryoma. Just thinking about them made the Atobe heir frown.

Seigaku's esteemed buchou, Tezuka Kunimitsu. He knew Tezuka since they were pratically still in diapers, their fathers being close friends snd their fathers before them, so naturally, they were always together and because of this fact, it was obvious, that Tezuka was absolutely smitten by the young pre-teen. It became apparent by the little things that might not seem like much, but to those who knew the stoic Seigaku buchou, it was unlike him; from personally training him after practices to wanting t hang out with the team when before he would never actually consider doing such a thing.

Seigaku's tensai, Fuji Syuusuke. It was hardly noticeable at first but Atobe saw how protective the brunet was over Ryoma, well, too be fairly honest, the entire Seigaku team was protective, but Fuji was possessively protective over the prince and if any-one even looked at him the wrong way, they'd be on the receiving end of a glacier-like glare that could freeze a blizzard with the sheer intensity. And if he just so happens to be smilng, with that particular glare, one would beg for hell's mercy, instead.

As Tezuka liked to say, 'Yudan sezu ni ikou', especially when the other two vying for Ryoma's heart was the emperor of Rikkaidai, Sanada Genichirou, and the hailed Kami no ko, Yukimura Seiichi. Of course he, himself, also seeked to hold the prince's heart. Out of the five choices, two of them had the best chance of winning Ryoma's love, if they hadn't already that is. And those two are quite obvious; the Seigaku captain and tensai would be the ones to garner the boys love, and it wasn't at all fair.

Atobe shook his head. He would be the victor of Ryoma's heart after all he was the great ore-sama. He was amazing, beautiful, gracious, and graceful. Everyone is awed by his prowess and Ryoma would be no different. Or so he liked to believe. Walking towards the door Atobe knocked on the hard surface and watched as the door opened to show a male in his late thirties, who looked similar to Ryoma.

"Hm, are you one of Ryoma's little friends? I've never seen you before!" the man scratched the back of his head, "And I can't recall ever hearing anything matching your description. Are you from a rival tennis team and is here to challenge the brat?"

Atobe twitched and shook his head, deciding that honesty was the best policy, in regards to getting close to Ryoma, especially if this man was his future father in law then he must make a great first impression, "Ore-sama and Echizen-kun are not really friends." he replied, 'I wish to be more, though.' "But ore-sama is an acquaintance of his from a rival tennis team, but that's not the reason for my visit. Ore-sama has some-thing he wishes to inform the both of you about as soon as Echizen-kun returns."

Nanjirou furrowed his brows before he smirked. "Wait I know you. Ryoma called you an arrogant monkey. Atobe Keigo, right?" not waiting for a response Nanjirou nodded his head, "You must be him, A mole..." 'It''s a beauty mark!' protested Atobe which was ignored as Nanjirou continued like nothing was just said, "under his right eye, purple hair and dark blue eyes. Looks arrogant and will sound like he's a king." Nanjirou chortled "King of the monkey, that is!"

Atobe scowled at that. Really, why did he like that arrogant brat for again. How dare he speak about Ore-sama that way. Nanjirou opened the door wider, "Come in. Even though Ryoma said those things, he seemed to like you well enough."

Atobe blinked in surprise, heart fluttering, and he hid a smile at the thought of Ryoma actually liking him. He gave a nod of gratitude before stepping into the house, "So, if I may ask, where is Echizen-kun?"

Blinking at the question, Nanjirou closed the door and gestured towards the living room, "Go on, take a seat." the ex tennis pro stated, "As for my brats whereabouts, well, he and the rest of his teammates headed to the airport earlier to recieve some international friends of Ryoma's." glancing towards the clock, Nanjirou hummed, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be back shortly." As soon as those words left his mouth, laughter and several voices conversing caused the two to divert their attention towards the picture window, and watched as a group trodded through the gates, "It seems you didn't have to wait too long after all."


With

Sanada


He just couldn't understand what was happening anymore. Running a frustrated hand through his hair, brown eyes glanced at a framed picture resting upon his desk and sighed, placing his head in his hand. He had always liked Yukimura, ever since first meeting the beautiful blunet when he was four, throughout the years that like had blossomed into love, he was sure of it, but then he met Echizen Ryoma, and like a hurrican, he turned everything in his world around, now nothing made any sense. He was still in love with Yukimura, he knew that, he feels it everytime they're together, but he also feels a magnetic pull towards Seigaku's baby.

Throwing himself backwards, Sanada tucked his hands beneath his head, upon his bed, and stared at his ceiling as if it had all the answers to his question, with a sigh, he closed his eyes, "What do I do, now?"


With

Yukimura


Yukimura Seiichi closed his eyes and allowed the wind to gently caress him. A small smile touched his lips before his eyes opened his eyes a bit. He had come to the park to clear his mind. Ever since his match against Seigaku's wonder boy, he found his thoughts continuously wondering back towards the younger boy; from his black-green hair, to his golden-green eyes and soft features. Every thing about the smaller male captivated him and if he saw the signs right. Tezuka and Fuji both have feelings for their kohai, he noticed Atobe had his eyes set on Ryoma and even his best friend and fuku-buchou, Sanada wasn't immune to the boys charm.

Yukimura turned his head and watched two boys, who looked to be about eight or nine, hit tennis balls to each other. He observed them for a while until a commotion caught his attention. Turning his head to the side, confused and just a bit curious, Yukimura watched aa a man, somewhere between late to early thirties-forties step in front of a small boy who was dressed in a pair of black and white converse, black pants and a black and white checkered hoodie.

The boy yanked himself away from the man and said something that went unheard by the blunet, but whatever he said, must not have been to the man's liking since he swung his arm, smacking the kid. Yukimura growled at that and stood up to help the unknown kid, when somthing froze him; realization dawned on him, he knew the boy, it was the same one who occupied his thoughts for the last couple of days.

Black hair tinted green was revealed after the man smacked him, and if he wasn't mad before, he was beyond pissed now. Seeing the male raising his hand to strike Seigaku's baby boy again, Yukimura ran forward, standing in front of the smaller male with his arms crossed and a chilling glare on his face; daring the man to continue what he was trying to do moments ago.

Ryoma gaped at the figure in surprised, "Yukimura-senpai!"

Yukimura threw a glance over his shoulder, smiling at the adorably confused face Ryoma was displaying before he turned back towards the man, his gentle smile gone and replaced by a frown, his eyes narrowed. "I don't know who you are, but you have no right to touch Echizen-kun in any such way without his consent. And if you ever dare to lay a harmful hand on him again, I can guarantee, you would not like what we would do to you; and by we, I meant his senpai tachi. They are quite protective over there baby boy." A slow, sadistic looking smile crept it's way upon Yukimura lips, thoroughly freaking the man out as he took several steps back before turning tails and taking off.

"Saa..." chuckled Yukimura "Not even my team reacts like that." he replied turning to look at Ryoma who was staring at him. But there was something in his gaze that shook the Rikkaidai captain. It was something he never thought he'd ever witness from the brat. Gratitude.

Ryoma bowed his head a bit and swallowed his pride. The only people who had ever seen this side of him was his family, real and pseudo, along with his teammates, but Yukimura deserved as much for what he did for him, "Thank you for helping me."

Yukimura smiled, his eyes softened a bit, "It's fine, Echizen-kun. May I ask, why you are here? And why that man was hit you?" Just thinking about what he had done to the beautiful boy, made Yukimura want to hunt the man down.

Ryoma shrugged, "I was heading home with my team after picking up three of my friends from the airport, but I got thirsty and told them that I'd meet them at my house after getting some ponta, so I told buchou and he reluctantly allowed me to leave on my own, " Ryoma turned his head away, "I went to the nearest vending machine when that man showed up, he was harassing me, telling me how pretty I looked and how I should go with him and he'd show me a good time." Ryoma scowled resembld Yukimura's, "I walked away intending to go to another vending machine, but he followed me. I told him to leave me alone, that old men didn't interest me, that's when he slapped me and you showed up."

Nodding his head, Yukimura clnched his fist, "How about I walk you home, Echizen-kun, you're too cute to be left alone, a lot of people might try to do something to you, like that guy."

Ryoma went to object but knew it was pointless and sighed instead. "Can we go to the store first, though. I want to get some ponta, and while I'm there, I might as well get some lunch." Ryoma turned and blinked at th Rikkai captain, "Ne, Yukimura-senpai?"

Yukimura hummed and looked over, "What is it, Echizen-kun?"

"You're welcome to have lunch with us, think of it as a thank you for helping me."

The blunet smiled at the invite, pleased and gave a nod, "Alright, Echizen-kun."

Ryoma tugged at his cap and turned away, a dust of pink tinting his cheeks. He was never one to invite anyone to his house except his closest friends, but he felt compelled to invite Yukimura, he did rescue him froom what could've been a bad situation, besides maybe after they eat, he could get the Rikkaidai buchou to play a match with him.

The rest of the walk to the store was done so in companionable silence, each lost in there own thoughts. Unaware of the danger that will befall them, soon.
