Thanks for the reviews! ^^ here's chapter 2.


"Aarghh…" Ryoma woke up with a giant headache; it feels like thousands of rackets hitting him at once. He sat up slowly and walked towards the bathroom but tripped on the tennis ball that karupin chased last night and landed face flat on the hard wooden floor. "Ouch!" He cried out and saw a lot of Karupins spinning above his head "Karupin….when did you learn to make clones?"

"Ryoma-san! Hurry up or you'll be late!" Nanako shouted from downstairs.

"I know!" He quickly stood up and dragged his heavy body to the bathroom. "Maybe a shower will make this headache go away…." He turned on the shower, went in and stood there for a few minutes, enjoying the water rushing down his body. He felt refreshed.

He got out of the shower and was about to get dressed when he heard the sound of brakes, that can only mean… "Oi! Echizen! We're gonna be late! Come on!" Momo was already waiting outside. Ryoma quickly got dressed, grabbed his bag and shot out the door.

"Ryoma-san! What about your breakfast?!"

"Gomen! Gotta go!" Ryoma hopped onto Momo's bike and rushed off.

"But I even prepared your favorite dish…." Nanako sighed in disappointment.

~At School~

Riiiiinnnnng…! Recess!

"RYOMA-SAMAAAAAAA! Can we eat with you?" Tomoka skipped towards him and smiled cheerfully.

"R-ryoma-kun….I made some cake.. Do you want to try one? " Sakuno asked shyly as she opened her lunchbox, revealing the prefect cheese cakes. "Sugoi na Sakuno!" Tomoka took one and bit down onto it "If's beffer fhen last fime!" she said with her mouth stuffed with cake. Sakuno just smiled.

Ryoma was itching to try one too, he took one and was amazed how much she improved, but he didn't show it. "Ne Ryoma-sama! Where did you get that ring?" She points at his finger. He was so busy day dreaming he almost forgot about it. "It's nothing…" He got up and went out. "Ryoma-sama! Where are you going?!" Ryoma just waved and ignored her.

"Argh…" his terrible headache was back again, and it was worst than before. He went straight to the washroom hopping the cool water would help. Luckily there was a bathroom near his class, he stood by the sink and turned the knob. The chilling water rushed out, he splashed his face with a handful of water so many times that he lost count. "It's not helping… not even a bit. Maybe I'll just skip practice today…" He sighed while lifting his head and looked at himself in the mirror "it feels like the world is spinning… wait… the world is spinning… then my head is spinning because of the world? Wait! My head doesn't have a connection with the world spinning…ok…this isn't helping either " he shook his head in attempt to drive out the thoughts.

He was about to go back, when he accidentally bumped into someone and fell onto the floor. "Ouch" rubbing his aching butt. "Echizen? Are you ok?" "familiar voice… oh uh.. don't tell me it's.." Ryoma looked up and saw 2 Fujis, and his spinning head which isn't connected to the world spinning made it look like they were spinning around. "Senpai… could you stop moving?" "Moving? What are you talking about? Are you ok?" Fuji offered a hand, Ryoma tried to grab it but it was hard since the hand was spinning too. Fuji saw the condition and grabbed his instead and pulled him up.

" Thanks..." Fuji just smiled "Are you ok? Your face looks a bit red"

"I'm fine…just a headache..." Ryoma said as he was trying to stand properly.

"I see…"

"Echizen, I told you to give the ring to the police right? You shouldn't be wearing it you know… it's a very bad decision" Fuji suddenly said sternly as he saw the ring on Ryoma's finger. He looked at his kouhai who was now using the sink for support with a pair of icy blue eyes. "I forgot…but I was planning on giving it toda-..." Ryoma can't hold on anymore, without finishing his sentence, he collapsed on the floor.

"Echizen!" Fuji quickly kneeled beside him "Echizen! Can you hear me?!" He shook Ryoma's body.

"Fuji-senpai…"

"Tell me, how do you feel?"

"I feel….. Cold… but so hot inside" Ryoma was breathing heavily. Fuji could see he was suffering.

"It has already begun?! But that's not possible for a normal kid!" Fuji acted quickly as he carried Ryoma to the clubroom bridal style. Everyone stared at them as they went.

"Fuji-senpai….." Fuji laid Ryoma on the bench. It was getting harder for him to breath, he was sweating a lot and his face was very red

"Hang in there Echizen!" Fuji placed his hand on Ryoma's forehead "This wouldn't hurt " he closed his eyes and started to mumble something in an unknown language.

"Fuji…..senpai" Ryoma saw a blue aura was starting to surround him… "What's happening?! This isn't good…" he felt something… something strange. Tears from the pain were starting to form on his eyes.
