Hello, This will be themed after the sin of Wrath which you may find to be very surprising, at least that's what I was going for anyway. This won't be lovey dovey but I wanted it to be heart warming.

Please note, I have a poll on my profile for some Prince of Tennis one-shot ideas I want to do but I am stuck on which one I should do. If you could please vote that would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

A young Kabaji was on his way home from elementary school and seemed to have a few bruises on his body. He didn't look like he was in pain, or upset at all, almost as if they weren't there. He was big for his age and he looked tougher and older then he actually was, but he never used this to his advantage. That was the trouble, his classmates knew that he wouldn't fight back so they felt free to bully him. He never said a word to the teacher or his parents because he felt no need to bother them. He wasn't the type of person to get upset over things like that.

He was a strong guy even though he was gentle, and he knew how to defend himself properly but fighting back never made anything better. He knew that and he never liked fighting in the first place.

When he got close to the park he heard some one yelling. When he got closer he could finally hear what was going on.

"Oi! Little girl get back here!"

Kabaji looked to see a boy in the park grabbing a girl with twin braids and pushing her down on the ground. The little boy then pulled her braids and forced her to stand up.

"This is pay back for bumping into me , and making my lunch fall to the floor." He said

"I-I'm sorry! It was an accident!" She said as she started to cry.

The boy pushed her down again. "You're so clumsy and you're not smart or cute." The boy said with a smirk.

Kabaji didn't know what to do, his heart seemed to be hurting a bit and a strong impulse was shaking through out his body.

"Why don't you just stop going to school?" The mean little boy asked

The girl covered in dirt and eyes red from crying shook her head. "N-No! I p-promised grandma th-that I would go to S-Seigaku!" She forced out.

The boy huffed and kicked dirt in her face.

"Like you would make it there." He said folding his arms.

She stayed silent and began to cry again as her frail ego got the best of her. At this moment Kabaji couldn't handle it, before the boy could grab her again Kabaji ran over and grabbed the boy by the collar and hoisted him up in the air.

"Hey! What are you doing? Put me down!" The boy screamed as he wiggled to get free with no luck.

Sakuno only looked on in confusion and anxiety.

With a loud grunt Kabaji spun and threw the boy who rolled on the ground. He then got up slowly and glared at Kabaji.

"What was that for you freak!" The boy screeched.

Kabaji turned to Sakuno and she looked a bit scared but with a bit of hesitation held out his hand. He didn't look upset, she was mesmerized by how calm he was and took his hand. He helped her up and while still holding her hand he walked away.

"Hey answer me!" The boy yelled upset over being ignored. The two kept walking on, and when the little boy was out of sight Kabaji let go of Sakunos' hand.

"U-ummm…Thank you." She whispered. He didn't reply but kept walking a slow pace for her to keep up with. "Y-you're really strong…" she added with a small smile.

"Usu" He said looking straight forward.

She looked down a bit disappointed by his silent nature but she didn't mind it too much because he was so kind.

"umm…My name is Sakuno Ryuuzaki." She said shyly.

He looked down at her. "Kabaji" He answered.

That made her brighten up. "You know, you're r-really amazing! C-can I call you Kabaji nii-san?" She asked with hope beaming from her eyes.

He stopped walking, and only stared at her shocked. "U-usu" He said nervously, but he was truly happy on the inside. She too was very happy and he was so caught up in the moment that he didn't hear a bunch of foot steps running their way.

It happened so fast.

He only remembers a few things from that moment.

The voices: "There he is!" "Kabaji nii-san!"

The reason he snapped: The nice little girl named Sakuno that wanted him to be her brother stood in front of him arms stretched out. The two boys a few yards away, throwing stones and her falling down to her knees holding her head.

He kneeled down next to her to see her head was bleeding slightly.

"Dumb girl." One of the little boys said. From then Kabaji could only see a cloud of red.

Kabaji stood up, and patted her head.

She looked up at him "N-nii-san?"

With that he ran off towards the boys and grabbed one by the collar and threw him into the other boy. They scrabbled up, but before they could make a move Kabaji punched one in the jaw and the other in the gut. The force was enormous and they were in a great deal of pain.

The two boys knew they were outmatched and were going to run away, but Kabaji caught them by their arms. Both tried to yank away but his hold was firm.

"L-let us go!" The boy from earlier yelled scared of further pain.

Kabaji only tightened his hold on both of them. "Stop it please! It hurts!" The other said.

He didn't stop, in fact he tightened his hold still. "Oww!" They both yelled in unison as they started to cry.

They are rotten and mean boys who don't deserve any mercy. They hurt someone that finally liked him for who he was. Someone caring enough to want him as a brother. Never in all his life has he wanted to hurt others as much as he did right now.

"Nii-san!" He snapped out of his thoughts when Sakuno ran over and grabbed his arms crying her heart out.

"Please stop!" She yelled as her eyes showed fear and overwhelming concern, not for the boys but for the kind Nii-san who lost control of himself.

He looked into her big brown eyes, and felt guilty for making her cry even more. "Usu." He said letting the boys go, who quickly ran off.

The two now alone, stared at one another for a moment. "I'm…sorry." He said looking down ashamed. He figured she would probably never want to see him again.

"P-promise me that you will never be like that again." She said.

He nodded a bit surprised. "Usu" He said bowing his head a bit.

She grabbed his hand, and even though she had a bit of blood on her head she smiled a grand smile. "Nii-san is amazing when he is kind and gentle."

With those kind words his heart seemed lighter than air. The hate he felt was gone, and he finally felt at peace again.


Strange no? I hope it was an interesting read for you. I remember when I thought of who to match her up with the first person was Akaya but I thought that would be too cliché. They are cute but I also wanted to give Kabaji some love.

He seems like the type who doesn't care what happens to him but would kill you if you harmed a lady. A sleeping giant if you will.

Next is Lust
