His abusive past:

A special surprise

for Echizen Ryoma


Turning towards the door Tachibana blinked. "Oh Akira, Shinji, what are you two doing here?" Fudomine's captain questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Are you guys hurt?" the older male walked towards his two friends.

Kamio and Shinji shook their heads in the negative, "We're fine Tachibana-san, we came here to deliver lunch to Shinji's brother but are you hurt? Why are you in the hospital?" the redhead speed demon asked, eyes filled with worry.

Tachibana smiled, "I'm not hurt at all. I'm here for a check-up that's all." both second years nodded their heads in understanding, "Do you still have to see Ibu-sensei?" agreement met the question and Tachibana requested to join the two in delivering the doctor his food.

"Afterwards we were going to head towards the street courts, did you want to come with us Tachibana-san?" Shinji glanced towards the former blond, "Of course Kamio might be going to irritate that Momo guy leaving me by myself again and if Echizen isn't there at least I'll have Tachibana-san to keep me company. You wouldn't leave me alone would you Tachibana-san not like Kamio..." both Tachibana and Kamio sighed and decided to let their friend continue his muttering, there was no use in trying to silence him anyways.


In Ryoma's

hospital room


Several hours later, Oshitari's phone went off again. The group watched as he chatted with his cousin, they assumed anyways. After a while the blue haired tensai flipped his phone closed and stood up. "The shitenhouji team is waiting outside, I'm going to bring them here. I'll leave you being alive a surprise." Ryoma gave a nod of his head as he watched the older teen excuse himself.

"It's going to be alright ochibi-chan." Eiji grinned patting the boys shoulder.

A while later, the door sliding opened caused everyone to turn in the direction. A wail was heard, "I don't want to see Koshimae's dead body, Shiraishi-buchou." the voice cried out. "Please don't make me go in."

"Kintaro, there's someone in there who wants to see you." Oshitari's calm tone did nothing to silence the cries coming from the wild tennis player, "I'm sure you'll like the surprise."

Ryoma held his breathe as the Shitenhouji team entered the room and glanced at the Rikkai team, towards the Hyotei team before stopping on the Seigaku members. "We are sorry for your lost. I know..." Shiraishi trailed off as he stared at the figure on the bed. Echizen Ryoma was sitting there and very much alive. "Echi...Echizen!" he called out while the said boy nodded his head.

Kintaro blinked before bolting towards the bed, throwing himself against the younger male, "Koshimae, your alive! your alive!" he bawled, tightening his hold against the hospitalized male. This death hug reminded Ryoma of Eiji and his bear hug. He wondered if all redheads at a deathlike hold when they embraced someone.

Seeing the Seigaku first years predicament, Shiraishi pried his rookie off of Seigaku's pillar, "Kin-chan if you continue to hold him so tightly, you just might kill him." the Shitenhouji captain stated, holding the crying kid. "Hush it's alright, Kin-chan."

Ryoma gestured towards Shiraishi, who raised an eyebrow at the younger one before handing Kintaro towards the tennis prince, "Kintaro, I apologize for worrying you so much that your reduced to this pathetic sobbing mess." boy wonder stated, while everyone sweat dropped at the half apology, half insult that was given but Kintaro just continued to blubber, getting tears and snot smeared across the shirt Ryoma was wearing, which earned the oblivious boy an annoyed look. "I'm not dead, you know, stop crying already, I don't want to be covered in anymore of your snot then I already am, you know."

Shiraishi smiled and took his rookie player, "Sorry about that Echizen." Shaking his head, Ryoma told him it was his fault for wanting to comfort the other.

Zaizen took a step forward a look of confused wonder overtaking his usual face. "How are you alive? I saw a film on you getting shot at and being pronounced dead." all eyes from Seigaku, Rikkai and Hyotei turned and pinned the Shitenhouji second year in place.

"What do you mean by that? A film?" Fuji eyes snapped open, blue penetrating and freezing Zaizen, "When did you see this? Where did you see it? Was this how you found out that Ryoma had been shot and almost died?"

With a shrug of his shoulder Zaizen told them about his psycho step mom and how she and another woman had been watching the tape and laughing. How his butler was the one who told him the name of the kid that had been shot and killed. He added that the film ended when the doctor told the group about brats supposed death.

"How much you wanna bet Zaizen's step mom and ochibi's mother is one and the same." Eiji crossed his arms, a frown marring his usual cheerful countenance. "I can't believe that woman had been that close to us and we never even knew it, I mean, how hard would it be to miss a woman holding a video camera, nya."

Momo shrugged, "In our defense, we were pretty upset by the news and it was hectic during the time. With just finding out that our baby boy was killed, it was hard to concentrate on anything much less on a strange woman filming our suffering."

The group spent many hours talking and getting to know each other better. Ryoma told Zaizen that his step mom was his mother and she was the one who wanted him dead. Had always wanted him dead. When Shitenhouji heard the entire story, Kintaro threw a master tantrum and it took Shiraishi, Kenya, Chitose and Zaizen to make him stop. It was evident that they were disgusted by Rinko's action and Zaizen declared that since technically his father and Ryoma's mother were married, that made them step brothers, that he would protect the younger, after all he was the older brother.

It was only after the nurse told them that visiting hours were over that they were forced to leave. Shitenhouji and Rikkai left with Hyotei, since Atobe offered to let them stay at his mansion along with his teammates. The only people that remained with Ryoma, like all the times before, was his teammates.


Kawamura sushi bar

A few days later...


A few days later find the Seigaku regulars sitting within Kawamura's sushi. Ryoma will finally be leaving the hospital and they wanted to have a welcome home party for him, they already planned to have Taka bring the sushi dishes, while the others will just make whatever they had at home while Oishi would make the cake and other such treats.

"Nya, what about the games and music?" Eiji questioned, "We already have every thing else settled except for that." the redhead sighed, "Wouldn't it be awesome if ochibi's favorite singers will walk through that door and agree to come to his party."

The group nodded at that. "That would be nice na, it would be nice yo." Momoshiro smiled before a frown overtook his feature, "But, that isn't really possible. I mean what will the odds be of both Shirota Yuu and Kimeru walking through that door, anyways."

The redhead pouted, "It could happen." a bell tinged and Eiji glanced towards the entrance and gaped, a trembling finger pointed towards the door, "It's..." blue eyes wide with shock. The rest of the regulars, sans Ryoma, turned towards the acrobat in confusion.

"What is it Eiji?" Oishi asked, "Are you hurt?" green eyes turned in the direction his partner was pointing in and gaped. Seeing Oishi's expression, the rest of the group turned and reacted similar to how both Eiji and Oishi had.

Fuji chuckled. "That statement about Ryoma having an overprotective guardian angel theory sounds more plausible by the moment doesn't it." the tensai stared at the four people standing by the door, "How else will you explain something like his happening, it is highly unlikely that this should be a coincidence." The rest of the group couldn't help but agree.


A while before

with the special guest


"What are we still doing here, Yanagi?"

Turning to face his friend, Yanagi smiled, "Because Yuyan, we are on vacation and because I want to meet that kid." Dark eyes glittered with happiness, "You can't tell me you don't want to see him either Yuyan. He was really cute, wasn't he?"

A chuckle was heard, "Don't let Shirota hear you say that, Yanagi." he glanced towards Yuya, "I'm surprise your feeling alright with Yanagi practically admitting to liking someone that's not Shirota or yourself."

Yuya shrugged his shoulder, glancing towards the grinning Yanagi, "Well, the boy in question is just that, a boy. I'm sure Yanagi wouldn't touch a twelve year old no matter how cute he is."

Yanagi nodded his head in agreement to his lovers statement before facing his best friend. "Kimura-sama, I'm hungry, can we get something to eat." the fragile looking boy questioned. "There's a sushi restaurant not too far from the hotel."

Kimera gave a nod, "Sushi for lunch sounds good. I'll get Shirota and Takeshi to help carry the sushi platters." the singer called out, "Yuya, could you tell everyone that Yanagi and I along with the other two will be getting lunch and that they should buy the drinks." Yuya nodded his head as he stood up, brushing a kiss against Yanagi's temple before leaving the room.

"Let's go Yanagi."

Nodding his head, the actor got to his feet, "Okay."


Entering the sushi bar, the four felt several pairs of eyes on them and turned to see who was staring and blinked when they saw a group of junior high students, who looked awed by their appearance. Kimeru smiled and waved his hand, "Hi." Red tints marred several of their faces and they turned away, embarrassed at being caught staring no doubt.

Yanagi grinned recognizing them from when he, Yuya, Tutti and Nagayan went to the National tennis games that was taking place. Tutti really wanted to watch the tournament and the other three had been bored at the time and decided to go with him. And to their surprise, they liked watching the tennis matches, despite not understanding what was going on and having Tutti narrate for them, they went with the tennis fanatic every day until the championship was over.

"Hey your that Seishun Gakuen tennis team aren't you?" Nagayama called out, "We saw you play during the Nationals, you're really good." he grinned, glancing towards Yanagi, "Right Nagi?" at the nod he received, Nagayama continued, "Tutti loves tennis and when he heard that the Nationals for Junior high tennis was being held at the location we were staying in, he wanted to go, so Yanagi, Yuya and I went along with him, and even though we didn't understand much about the sport and having Tutti play commentary during the matches, we enjoyed it. It looked like a lot of fun, ne, Yanagi?"

The mentioned male nodded, "Un, but your missing someone." he pointed out, "That adorable first year is missing, where's he at?" Shirota's eyebrow twitched causing Kimeru to cover his mouth, concealing his chuckles. "I wanted to meet him up close."

"Hey Yanagi, your making Shirotan jealous with all your talking about the twelve year old tennis prodigy." Nagayama grinned as he glanced at the mentioned singer in amusement. Kimera gave a nod of his head, smile wide as he watched the confused look overtake Yanagi's countenance.

"Huh, what do you mean by that Nagayan? Why would Yuu-chan be jealous?"

Shirota shook his head as he wrapped an arm around the smaller male, "Don't mind Yanagi, I'm fine." the tone of voice he used clued Kimeru and Nagayama in that the younger male was anything but fine. He was far from fine and it amused them that the singer was this jealous of a boy not even in his teen years.

"Hm, you mentioned watching our National match." Inui scribbled into his notebook, adjusting his glasses, he peered at the quartet, "And that you wanted to meet Ryoma our first year player." grinning Inui glanced at the rest of the group, "You know we were just talking about you guys, you see our friend, the one Yanagi-san wanted to meet, well he was in an accident that nearly killed him a few weeks ago, but the doctors were able to revive him, though he was in a coma for two weeks."

The quartet seemed surprised by the news before Kimeru gasped, "Was he involved in the accident a earlier this month, the one with the shooting? We were near there when the shooting happened, but not close enough to see anything, though. When we arrived at the scene, a boy was already being loaded into the ambulance."

"That's the one." Oishi whispered wrapping an arm around the redheads arm. It still upset them whenever they hear about the shooting for it made them think about what had almost happen and it caused them great pains whenever they remembered that their dearest friend could have died. "We almost lost him." he chewed on his bottom lip, eyes closing, "We wanted to throw a party for him, so that he knows how much he means to us. We need to him to understand just how important he is to us."

Yanagi gasped, "He's okay though?"

Inui gave a nod of his head, "Apart from being slightly sore, his healing rather quickly and will be released from the hospital in a few days, so we were planning on throwing him a surprise party." he glanced at the quartet, "I was wondering since Yanagi-san wanted to meet Ryoma, and Ryoma's favorite singers are Kimeru and Shirota, well..."

Shirota and Kimeru smiled and nodded their heads understanding what the fourteen year old was hinting at. "We would love to come and sing for your friends party, besides I don't think Yanagi will ever forgive me if I decline going." Yanagi smiled with a nod of his head. "So it's settled. We'll go."

"Where do you want to meet us at?" Kimeru stated, "We have a pretty large group, so it'll have to be a big area."

Fuji smiled, "Don't worry about the place. Ryoma actually comes from a wealthy family, thus his house is large enough to hold allot of people. we were going to have his party in the ballroom of his house. We can set up a stage and set up some tables and chairs towards the center of the room, that way they'll still be room for those who wishes to dance."

Eiji nodded his head, "Sou! Sou! Ochibi-chan is going to be so happy when he sees Shirota and Kimeru." the redhead grinned, "Ochibi-chan is the one who got Fuji and I to love your music Shiro-chii, nya. We didn't even know who you were before we heard him singing one of your songs."

Fuji chuckled, "We thought you were a dork, we still do, but your a dork who can sing." Yanagi. Kimeru and Nagayama laughed at the statement, Kimeru muttering, 'I told you, you were dorky looking.' which went ignored by other singer.

Tezuka walked towards the counter and request to borrow a pen and a piece of paper from Kawamura, who upon receiving the mentioned things, quickly scribbled several things down. And walked over, handing it towards Yanagi. "That is Ryoma's address. I wrote down the time we're picking him up from the hospital, so if you could perhaps meet at the house before that time."

Yanagi nodded his head, "Yeah." he smiled, "Yuyan and I wanted to meet the boy since we saw him play during the National, but we didn't get the chance to. I can't wait to tell him that we're going to the cute kids house for a party." The Seigaku regulars, most of them, smiled at the older boys enthusiasm.

"We should order those sushi or the others will start wondering where we went." Nagayama stated with a grin as he walked towards the counter, "We need several platter of sushi's, will that be alright?" Kawamura gave a nod of his head and motioned for his son to come help him. Taka gave a nod and went behind the counter, washing his hands as his father took the orders. "The first platter will be makizushi rolled with Kihada (Yellowfin tuna), Unagi (eel), Taiseiyosake (Atlantic salmon) and Tako (Octopus)."

"How much do you want of each? And how do you want them rolled?"

Nagayama placed a hand to his chin trying to decide, "How about 10 each. As for the type of maki sushi..." The actor hummed a bit, "Kihada and Unagi wrapped Uramaki style and Taiseiyosake and the Tako wrapped Temaki style." Kawamura gave a nod of his head.

Yanagi walked over and smiled "Buchou and Naoya mentioned wanting Oshizushi if they made it here. You might want to get some of that as well. Yuya said he was in the mood to eat some Chiraishizushi, but knowing him he might finger pick other sushi as well, so..." the dainty boy laughed, might need to pick up some extra's just in case. Kimeru chuckled at that. "I want some sashime though, with a side of rice."

As Kimeru and Shirota walked over placing their orders and what the others wanted, the Seigaku team watched them in fascination. They must have travelled with a large group or some of the members just have big appetites, not like they could say any thing as Momo could eat allot in one sitting.

Fuji smiled, "Kawamura-san, do you need extra hands. We're fast learners and we have watched you make sushi countless times, so I'm sure we could help and Taka-san can give us pointers as we go."

Kawamura went misty eyed and glanced at his son, "Takashi, you have such good friends." he gave a nod, "Go wash your hands and Taka will show you what do to."

Yanagi glanced at Kimeru, who smiled. "Hm I know what your thinking Yanagi, and it seems like a good idea." While the rest of the tennis regulars washed their hands and got ready to help roll sushi, Kimeru struck up a conversation, asking them about themselves and about Ryoma, taking in everything they were being told.


Finally telling

the coach and

a spy


"I see." a woman sighed, "I wish you would have told me sooner Nanjiroh, I would have liked to have known this when it happened not weeks afterwards. All that aside, how is he? Doing alright now?" Nodding to whatever was being said, the elderly woman wished her former student well before hanging up the phone. "Mataku, and to think not even those boys could tell me what was going on." despite her tone, she couldn't help but smile at the news.

A girl hiding behind the wall clenched her fist, "Damn." turning away, the brunet headed towards her room, she had a phone call to make and that person won't be happy with the news. "Rinko-sama will surely blow a gasket."


Tsuzuku

For those of you who don't know; Yanagi Kotaro, Shirota Yuu, Kimeru, Nagayama Takeshi and Endo Yuya, who were mentioned in this chapter, are Japanese actors and singers who were also part of the Seigaku first and second cast in Tenimyu.

Yanagi/ Yuya : Echizen Ryoma (First and Second cast)

Shirota Yuu : Tezuka Kunimitsu (Second cast)

Kimeru : Fuji Syuusuke (First cast)

Nagayama Takeshi : Eiji Kikumaru (First cast)

My original story only had the first cast, but I decided to put the second in here too because I love the thought of Shirota and Yanagi being together.
