"Hey Akaya want to hang out with us?" Jackal asked the freshman now they were all in high school, the 15 year old shook his head.
"Nah it's cool Jackal-senpai, I've got somewhere to be"
"Hmm? And where's that Brat?" Niou quirked a fine blue eye brow high on his forehead in question, taking a few steps closer to their kouhai finally wrapping his arm over his shoulder, the four had finished playing a Saturday game of tennis and now it was time to eat- thanks to Jackal.
"Somewhere not here Niou-senpai" his signature-without his own knowing- cute pout appeared on his fine face, now developing into a young man worthy of all the praise that followed from middle school. Now that he was in high school, beside the fact that he was just a freshman, Kirihara Akaya was a damn good looker. Get past his ego and pride and there was a kid everyone of the Rikkai regulars fell in love with, he was cute with that pout of his, those bright green orbs that shone with mischief, that grin that gleamed with pride at them. It was just that now- you didn't have to look deeper to find something to love, Akaya's very being screamed to be noticed; even if he didn't notice it himself.
The naivety he held in middle school was only one of the many characteristics he had brought into high school.
"And where's that? A place our kouhai going without his senpai knowing?" Marui smirked blowing the notorious green bubble, wrapping his arm around his kouhai's shoulder from the other side
"Does it matter?"
"Yes" the three upperclassmen said in unison,
"I'm not a-"
"Baby, we know" the three said once again in perfect unison, as if by instinct
"Then don't baby me!" that pout on his face formed once more, earning a smirk from Niou and a smile from Jackal,
"It's part of the job as a senpai, Akaya" grinned Marui playfully knocking his head to the slightly smaller boy, their hair contrasting. "Always has been and always will be"
"Gee…great"
"Is that sarcasm I hear?" Niou faked a shocked looked then grinned "want me to tell mama?"
The three saw with amused looks as Akaya visibly grimaced "don't bring buchou into this"
"Heh thought so" releasing the boy the blue haired boy, shifted his bag over his right shoulder and began to walk off, with a wave of his left hand in the air "whatever you do, don't die"
"Yeah right" for some reason unknown to him, Niou just randomly adopted that slogan whenever he would leave.
"Well take care Akaya, be sure to get home before night fall"
"I got it" turning his head in a half turn from his ex-babysitter, the teen sighed
"I'll call to make sure your home on time, alright? No detours"
"I got it Jackal-senpai!" now his frown appeared on his face, he was in high school now damn it, he didn't need a damn babysitter anymore; even if Yukimura said otherwise.
Slowly removing his arm almost reluctantly Marui glanced over to his kouhai,
"See you later Akaya, I'll call too"
"You don't need to check up on me, I'll be home on time"
"I don't mean it like that-"
"Then what?" placing his hands in his pocket pants Akaya looked at his senpai with curious eyes, another emotion shone in those emerald green eyes but in a moment they were gone. Marui could have sworn they looked almost…. Hopeful?
"..nothing, later"
"Bye" turning to leave, Marui heard a sigh from the younger boy before his own footsteps faded the other way. And for some reason Marui couldn't help but feel apprehensive to let to boy out of his sight- as if…something bad was going to happen.
Heh. What were the possibilities of that happening? Without another thought, the second year ran off to catch up with his friends, he was going to squeeze Jackal out of every penny he had today.

Sitting peacefully at a light café a figure calmly drank from their cup of tea, in their mid twenties the figure was content and showed an attitude of nonchalant to the society bustling around them, they waited until the promised time of 4, to meet an acquaintance. Dressed in a pressed white shirt, half of a suit and a professional name tag on the chest; time pasted until their acquaintance finally appeared.
"Sorry did I keep you waiting long?"
"Not at all, I enjoyed the waiting"
"Heh again really sorry, I had to change and all"
"I see, you look very wonderful"
"…uh thanks" the acquaintance bowed, nervously scratching the back of their head. "So uh do I sit down or-"
"Oh no, we have to go some place else, more secluded"
"Oh right" nodding, the acquaintance saw the figure place the money on the table and the two exited the café.
The two figures conversed once in a while in the figure's car, watching the world pass by with flashing colors until they had reached a building
"Here we are"
"Looks like a hotel"
"I thought it'd be perfect since we could be alone"
"Yeah…"
"Is something wrong?"
"Huh? Oh no it's fine, I'm good"
"That's good to hear" smiling the figure lead their acquaintance into the hotel, up the elevator and into their room on the second floor, the door closing behind them.
"Alright why don't you make yourself comfortable and we can get started"
"Yeah sure" placing their things on the ground at their feet, the acquaintance sat on the couch looking around the apartment room, observing.
"Here some tea to calm you"
"Thank you" taking the cup of warmth, the figure sat on the other side with a gentle smile
"I've heard a lot about you already but why don't you tell me about yourself?"
"Well…I'm wait- why does it matter? Isn't this an interview?"
"Hmm? Oh right, forgive me, business first" flustered the figure got up and left to get something, as the acquaintance took a large gulp of the tea taking a sigh the figure returned and sat down
"Is that all you'll need?"
"Yes" holding the notepad, the figure asked once again "so tell me about yourself"
"Well I-!" suddenly the room began to spin, slowly almost as if the spin was drowsy then faster and faster until the body fell victim to the sickness of numb, dropping the cup to the floor; bearing hearing the shatter of the glass darkness began to fill the acquaintance's sight, "wha-what the hell is-"
"Nothing much, you look tired- rest now, I'll take care of you" with their last strength the acquaintance saw the figure smirk mockingly and predatory like, before losing conscious the acquaintance mentally cursed themselves for being so stupid and uttered one last name before fading.
"Marui….senpai"
___________________________________________
Turning to the west, light violet orbs curiously looked to the distance
"What's up Marui?"
"Nothing…I just thought I heard someone call my name"
"Heh right" stuffing his face with food Niou ignored the glare the redhead shot his way,
"It might have been your imagination Marui" Jackal smiled at his ex-doubles partner, now in high school the team went under some changes mostly in the doubles section; where Niou was now playing singles, Yagyuu in doubles with Jackal and Marui with Yanagi, occasionally switching off- not that that settled well with the Master at first, but Yukimura wouldn't hear of it.
"…yeah maybe- hey! Niou damn you that piece was mine!"
"Too slow fatty"
"Bastard"
"So sue me" smirking at the fuming friend, the sudden ringing of his cell's musical tone of Start by Nakagauchi Masataka his favorite actor and singer, broke him from his fun, "hello? Oh hey Yukimura"
"What's buchou want?"
"No we haven't seen him since 2"
"What's he want?"
"What?! you can't be serious" instantly the fun and trickery in the 16 year olds voice disappeared and rare genuine worry replaced it.
The two ex-doubles partners shared a look of concern at whatever it was to make Niou worry, had to be big and if it came from Yukimura- then it was possibly even more important than the world coming to an end.
"Yeah I see, we're on it" hanging up his cell, the teen waved for the bill
"Are you going to tell us what the fuck that was?"
"…Akaya's gone missing"
"WHAT!?" the two teens stood up, screaming in unison drawing the restaurants customers attention,
"Sit down"
"What the hell!? How when!" Jackal was in babysitter mode instantly
"I got a call from Yukimura saying Akaya's mom called him saying he hasn't returned home yet and she wanted to know if he knew where he was"
"But he left us at 2 it's almost 10!"
"Yeah I know, when Yukimura couldn't give her an answer she said she was going to call the police, Yukimura convinced her that that wasn't necessary and that we would find him"
"You mean?"
"Yeah Sanada, Yagyuu, Yanagi and Yukimura are already out looking"
"Then we have to get out of here and hurry!" Marui said, standing up he grabbed his things and aimed for the door when Niou held him fast.
"Wait"
"What now!? Akaya's out there probably lost and alone!"
"I know that but we need to think first, set up places to look for him so we don't end up looking in places we already have" that made sense, paying for the food Jackal got up and looked at the two others with a dark face
"I'll go to the arcade on Honcho"
"I'll go the other way to Nihonodori station" Niou pulled out his cell, "keep in contact alright?"
"Got it" the bald teen nodded and in a flash the boy ran off
"Marui where are you going to look?"
"I'll head a bit further from Honcho to Minaminakadori"
"That's far why go there?"
"We once went to the pool there"
"Why- whatever, remember call if you find anything"
"Got it" both sharing a nod from the other, the teens turned the other way and off into the night the members of Rikkai's tennis team ran off to find their baby.

"Mmm w-what happened?" groggily peridot green orbs woke in a room unfamiliar to him,
"I see you're awake, good" at the sudden sound of a voice Akaya turned in shock at the sight of the tennis magazine man he had trusted, instantly his mind reeled and peridot covered over to emerald
"What the fuck do you want from me" he demanded
"You should know already, I don't need to explain" seeing the man slowly undress, cold, raw, disgusting fear slid itself into his stomach; pulling his heart and lungs until they barely moved
"Bastard! Y-you drugged me! Let me go!" wringing in his binds on the large bed, Akaya noticed with dread his clothes had been loosened until they hung off his body like rags, his pant zipper unzipped showing large cleavage of his lower stomach; had he been in another situation he'd have blushed.
"Now now, Akaya-kun you don't want the neighbors to hear you"
"Oh no? HELP! RAPE! SOMEONE HEL-!"
"Shut the fuck up" lunging at the boy covering his mouth until he swallowed his tongue, "you will listen to me or I will kill you Kirihara Akaya, you're just a boy; and boys can disappear without anyone ever remembering them"
For the first time, Akaya felt terror and sadness mingle in a repugnant taste- terror for himself and sadness that if he really did disappear….would anyone notice? Of course! What was he even thinking?! His senpai for sure, they of all people would remember him! They…must be coming to get him someone must have noticed his absence! Or so he told himself; anything just to keep the dark thoughts from taking over his mind.
Time seemed to slow to an agonizing torture, Akaya watched unable to do anything against his binds as the man touched his body drawing a smile at his shiver, the eerie look in the man's eyes at his body under him slowly showing more and more skin, it was repulsive, revolting, it made his stomach turn, his heart beat in fear in terror, it quickened his breathing until each breath hurt, his brain tried to think of an escape- anything anyone!- Akaya prayed and prayed to get from the man's coarse touch but anything he did the man just roughly pushed him back in his place.
Slowly as the time went by slower, Akaya's determination began to waver when he thought he couldn't bare to have the man's hands on his hips Akaya felt a surge of adrenaline, who was this fucker! What gave him the damn thought he could over power him?! He was the Junior Ace of Rikkai, their pride! He'd be damned if he let his bastard take what was his to give away! With that thought Akaya raised his leg and kneed the man in the stomach causing him to roll over in pain; gasping for air.
At the chance, Akaya sat up and with strength he had tore out of the bond to his arms, jumping out of the room and quickly glancing at the apartment, Akaya knew in that split moment he couldn't run through the hotel, instead he jumped from the sliding glass door. With the reflex of a true tennis player his knees held the weight of his body as he dashed away from the room-Akaya couldn't think straight he didn't want to think, he just forced himself to keep running farther and farther from the man….from the fear.

"Anything on your end?"
"No"
"I'll keep asking around someone must have seen him" hanging up, it was rare to hear such fear in Jackal's voice even if they had been doubles partners for years. Marui hung up his phone and kept looking straining his eyes until he could feel them pulsating, it had been hours since the team split up, Yukimura, Sanada, Yanagi and Yagyuu searched one half of the city while Jackal, Niou and himself the other. By the time on his cell it was already half past 1 in the morning and Mrs. Kirihara had already called the cops, it was only a matter of time before she called them to her house for questioning- stopping their own search for their baby.
"Damn it Akaya where are you" whispering with plea Marui continued to search for the boy, he knew it deep down that afternoon he had a bad feeling now it seemed so clear! Why didn't he listen to it! Mentally cursing at his stupidity Marui was about to yell out the boy's name until
He heard a soft whimper from behind a cluster of trees, curious as to what the thing that made the sound was Marui cautiously made his way to the sound when from the darkness a shadow of a crouching figure appeared, temoring
"..A--Akaya!?" turning of the balls of his feet, Akaya fell backward in shock and terror when he recognized the person who called his name
"M-Marui s-senpai!" in a moment the two embraced the other not caring if this may have been the first time they shared such intimacy, Marui grabbed the boys head placing him so close to his chest- Akaya might not have been able to breath, he didn't care, in that moment he never wanted to let the young boy go.
"Akaya thank God you're alright, everyone was looking for you they still are, where the hell have you been!?" looking at the boy at arms length Marui saw for the first time how disheveled the freshman looked
"I-I no, I can't please don't make me talk about it…not here!" digging his nails into the older boys shoulders, crushing his face in the redhead's chest, Akaya didn't want to think about that man…nothing but the safe and familiar smell and touch of Marui.
"Shhh It's okay Akaya, come on I'll take you back to my house, there we can get this all sorted out" with a nod of gleaming black curls, the second year lead his kouhai home.
"Sit down I'll call Yukimura and your mom, she's been crazy worried about you" silence met his words, and Marui went to call. Coming back to a silent Akaya, seeing his clothes Marui went to his room and brought back new clothes "here, put these on, you can stay the night, we're home alone so its cool"
"…thanks" looking at the clean clothes he left to the bathroom, knowing exactly where to go since he had been to Marui's house more than often; coming back with a somber face
"What happened?" it came like a soft blow
"…."
"Akaya…look at me" lifting the boy's chin to face him Marui saw fear flash through the peridot orbs for a moment before sadness filled them once more. "I'm trying to help you but I can't if you don-"
"I-I was stupid….I-I listened to some bastard who promised me a part in a tennis magazine" looking away in shame Akaya almost stopped talking but when he looked up into his senpai's eyes they were strong with emotion he couldn't bare to ignore. "I…met up with him and he drugged me"
Shock radiated from Marui's but he remained silent and listened to the boy as he told him of the… potential rape. After he was done Marui pulled the younger boy onto his chest, so close until he was sure Akaya could feel his heartbeat.
"M..Marui"
"I'm so sorry Akaya…all this time we've said we could protect you but when you needed us most we-…I wasn't there" slightly tightening his hold on the boy Marui ran his face within the warm curls of black locks, savoring the sweet smell that belonged only to Akaya.
"Senpai…"
"Hmm"
"You're a genius right?" looking down at the boy with curious purple eyes he nodded and asked why that mattered
"Can you take the pain away?"
"Akaya…"
"When I close my eyes I see that man…I can still feel his touch, his voice, his smell everything…it's- I just want to forget!" digging his nails into the redhead's shoulders, biting his lips until they felt numb Akaya forced his tears to remain behind his emerald orbs, he was not going to let himself cry again.
"Akaya even if I knew how-" without another word Marui was silenced by a pair of rough lips pressing against his own passionate and sloppy. Shock, sadness and lust mingled in his mind instantly taking over his body, before he knew what was happening Marui grabbed the younger boy and pulled him onto his lap until the black haired freshman straddled him tightly.
The two battled for dominance over the others tongue until there was a winner, sucking on the boys mouth Marui earned a soft moan and mewl from the latter, he had dreamed of those sounds over and over but never did he think it would be this sweet sounding; as if the moans were enough to make him come Marui's breath stuttered as he grew hard under his kouhai, he could feel the boy was the same.
What they were doing was wrong. He knew as slowly their clothes dropped off their sleek bodies and onto the floor,
Akaya knew as he was pushed under his senpai and gently caressed and kissed by the redhead- it was different, with Marui it wasn't scary no. it was…calming, exciting and loving, Marui was someone he could trust, someone he could possibility be with, with Marui this was almost heaven- almost. The fact that he was partially using the older boy to rid himself of his shame of almost being raped, made Akaya feel sick but when they looked in each other's eyes, kissed without closing their eyes, touched and moaned the other's name he knew; what they were doing was wrong but….did it really matter?
Did it? As Marui felt himself push into the younger boy grasping the latter's hand tightly, Akaya yelled as Marui screamed, it hurt to push into him and then to pull out again, watching as the boy's hot chest rose and fell rasping for hot air breathing into his face, the flush on his pale skin Marui kissed the younger boy passionately, lovingly and understanding.
They both knew what they were doing was wrong. In the morning there would be millions of questions, thousands of consequences and hundreds of more problems, but tonight none of that mattered.
Tonight Marui would remember and Akaya would forget.
