Revised and Rewritten


His abusive past:

Mienai Kizuna

(Unseen bonds)


Ryoma glanced at the door and blinked wondering who was coming to visit and glanced towards his friends who shrugged. Inui hummed lightly, "It could be Hyotei and Rikkaidai coming for that visit. Yanagi called several days ago and told me that despite how much they want to be here and visit you, they wanted to give your family and friends time with you before they intrude as he put it, so this could be them."

Oishi stood up and headed towards the door sliding it open a bit to peek at the new comer and gave a nod of his head, "It is Hyotei and Rikkaidai." he stepped away from the entrance allowing the two groups to enter the room. As they did so, all eyes were directed towards the bedridden boy.

Yukimura lowered his head as he approached the bed, "Echizen-kun, I want to apologize to you, if only I was fast enough to get you away from that area then you would never had gotten hurt." tears fell from the Rikkai captains eyes. "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Ryoma blinked, shocked that the older teen was blaming himself for what had happened. "I don't blame you Yukimura-senpai, it's not your fault that I was shot, or that I'm in the hospital, if anything it was my own carelessness that got me shot at and it was my own fault that I hurt so much people." Golden eyes lowered and he ignored the looks his friends were giving him, "I knew it was dangerous for me to be walking around by myself, but I was being stubborn, I mean I could have gotten my dad or a servant to get me ponta, but..."

"No!" Eiji cried out, not being able to take Ryoma blaming himself for something that he didn't do, "It's not your fault ochibi-chan, if anything it's that, that bitches, fault. She was the one who made that hit. The blame for your near death lies solely on her and we'll make her pay for it." the redhead wrapped his arms around the small boy.

Fuji nodded and glanced at Yukimura, "So don't blame yourself as well Yukimura."

Yanagi opened his eyes a bit, "You mention a hit and a woman, what does this have to do with anything? what is going on? Was that shot meant for Echizen? Was some one deliberately aiming to kill him?"

The Seigaku regulars shared a look before they gave a nod at the question, Inui adjusted his glasses and glanced at Ryoma silently asking for his permission, which the younger boy granted with a nod, "Someone had hired a hit man to kill Ryoma, so yes those bullets were meant to kill him."

Rikkai was in shock at the news while Hyotei already knew someone had purposely tried to kill Ryoma because of the police reports and stuff, but they still couldn't believe such a thing could happen to someone they knew, "Why?" everyone turned towards the voice to discover that the speaker was none other then Yukimura Seiichi.

Ryoma lowered his head to the bed, "She hated me since the day I was born." tears pricked the corner of Ryoma's eyes, seeing how upset the younger boy was Fuji and Eiji wrapped their arms around the younger one, "She tried countless times when I was younger to kill me, but it never succeeded. The hit man came by a few days ago and admitted everything to me. It's not his fault as well, he didn't want to take the case but she threaten him into doing it, and if he didn't then she would just hire a more blood thirsty killer to kill not only me but his son as well, so with no other choice he did what he did."

The group was surprised by that, "And who is she?" asked Niou, eyes coldly glinting with the various possibilities that he could entertain himself with his new toy when they found her that is.

"My mother."


Zaizen nodded his head at his teammates. "Hey." he called out, stepping out of his house. His eyes dropped towards the usually energetic first year and inwardly flinch at the sight of his kohai. "Kintaro." he whispered, placing a hand on the boys head.

"Are you ready to go, Zaizen?" Shiraishi whispered, "We're heading out now so we can reach Tokyo early enough to meet up with the Seigaku regulars to offer our condolences to them and his family. Also Kintaro wants to give something to the Exhizen family." With a nod of his head, he told his Kyouya that he was going out and won't be back till late. "Let's go team."


Nanjiroh opened the door and stared at the three males standing in front of him in wonder, "What are the three of you doing here? How did you know where I lived at that?" the ex tennis pro opened his door wider to allow the three to enter the house.

"Your son gave me the address a few weeks ago. I stopped these two from entering Ryoma's room on the same day and told them we'd meet up with you at a later date, which is this day." Sosuke beamed, ignoring the twitches the other three were developing. "I heard about the accident from my other son Yuuta and went to visit Ryoma-kun."

Nanjiroh gave a nod of his head. "Whatever, so what do I owe this visit?" he asked bringing them to the room, "You remember everyone I'm sure and everyone these are the officers that was assigned to Ryoma's case when we were in America and the therapist Ryoma went to." The group nodded their heads and greeted the three. Alexander, Chroma and Elliot left their seats so the three men could sit down.

"What brings you three here?"


The Seigaku, Hyotei and Rikkai teams blinked when a yell was heard, strangely the voices sounded familiar but they shrugged it off and Oishi continued telling the Hyotei and Rikkai teams about what Rinko had done to Ryoma when he was a child. "...she nearly beat him to death and the only reason she didn't was because Ryoma is a fighter. He fought to live."

"We'll help you as well. We won't let that woman hurt you, Echizen-kun." Yukimura stated, glancing at his teammates who nodded their heads, "You've been hurt more should be allowed in one lifetime."

Atobe folded his arms, "And you already know ore-sama will help." the rest of the Hyotei team gave their own agreements before the sound of ringing interrupted the silence that had descended upon the group. Oshitari glanced at his phone with a raised brow before answering it.

"Kenya..." the group watched as confusion washed over Oshitari's expression before he told whoever this Kenya person was that he was at the hospital, "What are you talking about?" a pause. "Kenya, I think you should come here. I'll answer every thing you want to know once your here." after a few more words, Yuushi flipped his phone closed and faced the group, "We have a problem. That was Kenya, my cousin, he lives in Osaka and attends Shitenhouji, anyways his team heard about how Echizen-kun died and were on their way here to offer their condolence. And if I wasn't mistaken, I could swear someone was sobbing."

"A hundred percent that person is Kintaro Toyama." Inui adjusted his glasses and glanced at the bedridden boy, "Don't blame yourself Ryoma. Like Eiji already said, it's not your fault and you shouldn't take the blame for upsetting Kintaro so much."

Ryoma gave a small nod of his head, "Are they coming here? I'd like to apologize to Kintaro anyways, he might be annoying but it was evident when we met up that he cared a lot about me for some reason, despite never meeting before the tournament, he even played against Yukimura to stall time until I could get there."

Oshitari pushed his glasses higher up on his nose and gave a nod of his head, "Yes, actually. I told them to come here because I wanted them to see that you were alive and doing well. They were already on their way here anyways and Kenya called to ask me if i knew where you lived."


A bunch of muttering could be heard, as a boy around thirteen entered the hospital another boy around the same age was with him, "Shinji, be quite." Kamio called out getting tired of his friends muttering, "You know your mom is going to make us deliver your brothers lunch to him no matter, so there's no use in complaining about when only I will hear you, besides after we give Shugo his lunch, we can go to the street courts to play a game, maybe Echizen will be there and you can play a game with the chibi."

Shinji nodded, "Whatever, but what if Echizen isn't there, then who am I suppose to play with, Kamio might ditch me to fight with that power player from Seigaku again, like last time, but last time I had Echizen to keep me company, this time might be different especially if Echizen isn't there..."

Kamio shook his head and decided to ignore the other boys mutters as they walked through the hallway heading towards Ibu Shugo's office. They passed various rooms some with people occupying them, others without, but one room in particular caused them to pause, even Shinji stopped his muttering as they stared at the occupant.

"Tachibana-san!" they yelled.


Tsuzuku

(To be continued)


This version, if you could tell, will be a lot different then my original especially since I wanted to put the entire Shitenhouji team instead of just Zaizen, Shiraishi and Kenya. Yuuta, Mizuki, Tachibana, Kamio and Shinji will also be involved in the story because my friend wants them to be.

Pairing:

Ryoma with Tezuka, Fuji, Yukimura, Sanada and Atobe, keep in mind that they will be with Ryoma but not each other, well except the alpha pair, they'll be together, but also with Ryoma, individually, so this isn't an OT6.

Minor pairings:

Yuuta/Mizuki or Yuuta/Kevin

Diabolic + Platinum = Kirihara/Marui/Niou/Yagyuu

Emerald + Yanagi = Inui/Kaidoh/Yanagi

Golden + Dirty = Oishi/Eiji/Gakuto/Oshitari

Taka/Momo

Shishido/Ohtori

Tachibana/Kamio/Shinji

Others has yet to be definite...
