His abusive past:

A great tragedy


Nanjiroh smiled at the group of boys as they entered the house before frowning at not seeing his son anywhere amongst the eleven, "Oi shounen-tachi, where's that uncute brat of mine?"

"He wanted a ponta, nya." Eiji pouted, "We wanted to go with him but he wouldn't let us. Ochibi-chan is so mean." rhe redhead crossed his arms, "Tezuka let him go off by himself because he didn't want ochibi to feel as if he was some invalid who can't protect himself just because his mother is back, nya."

Tezuka gave a nod, "We didn't want him to start assuming his a burden to us just bacause we want to protect him from harm. The last thing we need is him hating himself."

Nanjiroh sighed and leaned back into his seat, "I doubt Rinko will make a move so soon, then again, she isn't right in the head and might just do something if the oppunity presents itself, like Ryoma being off on his own."

The Seigaku team, along with Alex, Chroma and Elliot shared a concerned look and shifted in worry. They hadn't thought about that. "What should we do Nan-ji-chan? Should we search for him?"

Nanjiroh sighed, shaking his head, "You were right when you said Ryoma would consider himself a butden if we start babying him for simple things that he has always been able to do before by himself." crossing his arms the former tennis pro crossed his arms over his chest, "We'll give him twenty more minutes, if he isn't back, then we can all go out to seatch for him."

The Seigaku team nodded, before startled shouts were issued as Momoshiro and Kikumaru pointed towards the blue eyed male seating on the seat beside their first year regulars father. Tezuka walked forward and stared at Atobe, "Why are you here, Atobe?"

Atobe flicked his hair in an arrogant fashion, a smirk curling his lips, "Ore-sama has business to discuss with the Echizen's, which do not include you." he snubbed, turning his nose in the air. "Beside plebeians such as yourself wouldn't understand anyways."

The Seigaku regulars, sans Ryoma, frowned at that statement and was about to protest when laughter rang out causing everyone to look over towards Alexander and Chroma who were the source of the sound, than towards Elliot who was chuckling.

"Hoi! Hoi! Chibi-tachi, why are you laughing, nya?" called Eiji tilting his head to the side in wonder, resembling the very animal he impersonates during his speech.

The redhead pointed towards the purple haired male, "He acts like a vain monkey." Alexander said in between his laughter.

"And sounds like he's some type of king!" Chroma added, trying to calm his laughter..

At the amused looks they were given, Elliot thought it be best to elaborate, "Ryoma told us all about his friends and the people he met while here and by his attitude and the description Ryo gave to us, we conclude this must be the king of monkey's, ne."

Atobe's brow twitched at hearing that dreaded moniker gifted to him by the tennis prince. Narrowing his eyes, the Atobe heir opened his mouth, "Don't address ore-sama by such a primitive name, you brats." there is only one person he would ever allow to call him by that ridiculous name and he's not here. "And just who are you anyways?"

Fuji opened his eyes, "Saa, Atobe, I would be nice to these boys if I wore you." a sharp, deadly smile graced the tensai lips, "You see These three just so happens to be Ryoma-chan's best friends; they just flew into Japan today, so we went to pick them up!" Fuji called with a smile, his blue eyes peeking out slightly to stare at the surprise look that littered through the diva's face or a split second before it had vanished.

Atobe turns his head to the side in feigned disinterest, "Like ore-sama cares who they are to that brat prince. Ore-sama only came here to speak to the Echizen family about a case his father had been involved with." he shot a discreet glance towards Tezuka, who frowned at the look. "Along with his partner."

"What kind off case?" Oishi questioned.

Atobe just shrugged, "I'll tell you when I tell Echizen-san, when that brat returns."


Sanada sighed as he walked down the street, he was far from home but he really needed to clear his mind, and if jt meant coming to Tokyo to do so well, a person has to do what they have to, besides Yukimura was in Tokyo, maybe he should look for his best friend. So lost in thought was he that he didn't notice the mass panic happening around him until someone ran into him and didn't bother to apologize afterwards.

Mentally frowning at the rude behavior, Sanada glanced around finally noticing how frightened the people looked as they ran from a specific direction not to far from where he was standing. Confused he stopped a man who was passing and questioned him.

"Someone is shooting off a gun, a kid was just shot." he answered before continuing his run, there was no way he was going to stay so close to this area, he wanted to live, damn it.

Sanada blinked, someone had been shot, a kid, and all these people were running away. Wasn't anyone going to help the boy. With a scowl, the vice captain of Rikkai tennis team took off in the general direction the masses was fleeing from. If none of the adults will help some kid that could very well be his kouhai, though he doubted that, Kanagawa and Tokyo aren't exactly close after all, or a kouhai to Seigaku.

At the thought of Seigaku, Sanada pushed himself further, ignoring the yells he was getting from the strangers, telling him he shouldn't be running towards danger but away from it. Two minutes later, which felt like an eternity, Sanada came to the area where the shooting must have taken place, but he wasn't paying any attention to the destruction around him, his attention was solely the two beings in the middle of the war zane.

Two boys were on the ground. The first one was lying on his side blood leaking from his wounds to form a small pool around his petit frame. The other was sitting on his knees beside the bleeding boy, cradling the smaller, injured boy while applying pressure to the wound in hopes it would help halt the flow of blood. Pleas for help left the boy's quivering lips but no one cared enough to stop, but it was in that moment he knew who the blue haired boy was.

"Seiichi!" yelled Sanada running forward.


Elsewhere in

Osaka


Placing her hands on her hips, a woman glared daggers at a man with unruly black hair and green eyes, "You were hired by me to get rid of that hellspawn, so do what you were paid to doo." she scowled at the anger looking man in front of her. "Now!"

Despite how demonic the woman appeared in all her fury, the man was unfazed, eyes cool and face devoid of all emotions, "A kid. The target is a twelve year old boy, you implied the hit was for an abusive husband who was stalking you, in essense you lied, and therefore I see no obligation to fulfil my end of the deal."

Rinko smirked, "What's the difference, either way you get paid, I'll even double it since you seem so against killing demonic possessed children, after all your very son is demon-like, isb't he." her smirk widened at how stiff the man became, anger practically radiated from his pores.

"There is a difference, putting a hit on a man whose because he abuses you and stalks you is not the same thing as wanting a child killed, and if your too pidheaded to understand the difference, you need more help that what I've got time for." green eyes sharpened, "And don't you dare bring my son into this arguement, you bitch!"

Leaning back in her chair, Rinko crossed her legs at the ankles and stared at the man, virtually amused by his defiance, "Now, now, don't get to ahead of yourself." eyes gleamed in malicious delight, "If you don't do the job I've hired you for then I'll get another one to do so, and this time I just might add another kid to the list, you wouldn't want that would you."

The man gritted his teeth, "You fucking bitch, you better watch your back, after this hit, I'm coming after you and if you even dare to hurt my family, I'm going to rhe police, I'll turn myself in and you as well. You'll regret this!" he yelled as he stormed out of the room, leaving the brunet woman to herself.

Rinko picked up her glass and swirled the red liquid, "I will never regret this, that monster will finally die and I can have my Nanjirou back.


With the

hitman


The fuming man leaned against the bridge looking over it towards the people walking down the streets; friends hanging out and chatting together, mothers and fathers tending to their fussy kids. Tokyo was crowded, yet very peaceful despite the loud noises going on around him.

Shaking his head, the man glanced towards the sky and sighed; and not for the first time he wondered why he was even in this type of business. He should've left years ago and never looked back, but he couldn't. He had been apart of this underground business for so long, partically grew up doing this type of work that everything else seemed boring and uninteresting, beside the pay was a hundred times better then anything he could earn sitting behind a desk, pushing papers all day.

Reaching into his pocket, the hitman withdrew a small picture of a young boy with shoulder length black hair that gleamed green and catlike golden eyes that was more green then brown. He was tanned, golden, and he knew without having to ask, that it was natural. He was dressed in black shorts and a white shirt with four blue stripes going across his chest. He had to admit, the boy was very beautiful, and he was sure to have many who would mourn for him.

A squeal caught his attention and he turned towards the direction, only to see a group of girls, and a few guys staring in the same direction, red tints gracing their faces as they spoke. With an amused expression, he turned to where they were looking and gaped at the boy he had just been staring at moments ago, in a photo.

His heart pounded in his chest, eyes wide in horror. He couldn't do it. He watched as the boy leaned against the wall and popped open a can of grape ponta and began sipping at the liquid, it looked like he was waiting for someone, and just as that thought made it's way around his head, the doors opened to reveal a familiar figure and he gaped. He saw a photo of that kid too, in his sons room. The Rikkai buchou, if he recalled correctly.

At the thought of his son, he remembered the threat to his life and he knew, there was no choice, he had to do it. His son meant the world to him and he didn't know what he'd do if he ever lost him, and in that moment, he realized something else, he was taking another mans son from him, and he prayed, with tears in his eyes, he hoped Kami-sama welcome the boy with open arms.

Taking his gun out, he took aim and fired, six rounds, four missed, the last two hit its target and the boy stumbled forward, into his friends arm, before he fled the scene.


Back with

Yukimura and

Ryoma


He smiled in amusement, watching as his companion popped open his third can of ponta since they left the store, "You must like those sugary drinks, boya." the captain of Rikkai chuckled at the look the rookie tossed at him, it was really adorable.

Pulling the can away from his mouth, Ryoma gave a nod of his head, "I like the grape ponta best, but the apple flavored one is good, as is the strawberry. My older brother likes the orange flavored one, it's mada mada but so is he."

Yukimura chuckled at that, "So you have a brother, is he older or younger then you?"

"Older." Ryoma glanced at the other male, "He's in a boarding school in Europe, it's his last year before he graduates, then he said he'll come to Japan tp stay with my father and I."

The blunet smiled, "You really love your brother, don't you?" Ryoma blushed at that and cursed at the fact that he didn't have his cap to hide his reddening cheeks from the older male. With his smile widening, Yukimura reached over and ruffled Ryoma's black tinted green hair causing the boy to bat his hand away.

The blue haired boy chuckled again before turning to look a head of them. Ryoma glanced over towards the blue haired buchou of Rikkaidai and was about to open his mouth to ask him what was so funny when several bangs were heard.

Ryoma and Yukimura paused at the noise, looking around for the source of the sound. It took a while, but when the Rikkai buchou could finally place the sound, he dropped the bags he was holding and reached out for the youngers hand, causing Ryoma to drop his bags, as he was pulled down the sidewalk and away from the shooting, but with the mass of panic-striken people pushing and shoving their way through the crowd, it made things difficult, he tightened his hold on the youngers hand not wanting to lose him in the crowd.

Two more shots were released, and Yukimura was force to stop when he felt the hand holding Ryoma's jerk, a gasp escaped the boys mouth and he turned to question him, but froze at the sight that met his eyes. The white parts of boy wonders hoodie was steadily getting redder by the second.

"Yukimura-senpai!" Ryoma whispered, stumbling forward, into the other boys arms.

With shaking hands, Yukimura turned boy wonder over, "Echizen!" he whispered, tears filling his eyes, he moved the hoodie up, so he could see where the wound was located, "Can you hear me?" spotting the bullet wounds, Yukimura pressed his hands on to the injured spots, "Echizen!" Looking up, he yelled and pleaded for help, but no one stopped, no one cared enough to help two strangers, it didn't matter if they were kids.

"Seiichi!" A voice yelled, and the captain turned, tear filled eyes towards his best friend, lips quivering in relief, "What's going on? Are you hurt?"

Yukimura shook his head, "Gen, help me! I can't get the blood to stop!"
