Ryoma's serve snapped past Kagome but she twisted around and hit it back. Ryoma hit back Kagome jumped high and hit the ball straight at Ryoma's knees. Ryoma backed up and nearly tripped to hit it, Kagome stuck out her tongue at him as it scored him a point, Ryoma sighed.

"Sis you're gonna kill me with that sniper shot one day," Ryoma said. Everyone watching, meaning everyone, save Tezuka who had mysteriously vanished, was confused Kikyo answered their confusion as Ryoma served a twist.

"Sniper shot, Kagie's ultimate shot. It is aimed after she hits it. It's like the ball goes in her will, see how Ryo had to back out of his perfect receiving position to hit it. Ryoma is one of the few who can hit it back, Kagie knows exactly how it pinpoint every weak spot even as the ball is just about to leave her racquet. She is crazy smart but never uses it except in school, like I do, well I use it in tennis to, Kagie could hit every shot she wanted but doesn't. It's like Fuji-kun, she holds back to much, but look she's hitting it again," Kikyo explained as Kagome jumped high again and hit the shot at Ryoma's face, he had all of a split second to dodge he was unable to hit the ball back, Kagome tied to score and Ryoma served again, "Kagome hates hurting people that don't deserve it, she hates using that shot to but she does it half the time without noticing it, she pays me and Ryo so much she doesn't even see it when we dodge to avoid it, that is Kagome's killer technique, it put our dad out like a light for three hours cause he underestimated it." There was a general awe going round all of the regulars now as Ryoma returned yet another sniper shot.

"So Kagome-chan doesn't see when she's hitting it," Eiji asked, slightly confused with the shot.

"Oh no she does, she just knows we can avoid it so she doesn't hold back. If she went against one of you she probably wouldn't use it at all. She'd rather lose honorably than hurt someone with the sniper, but make her mad and you'll be out faster than you can see the shot coming," Kikyo said a hint of wicked pleasure in her voice as if she had seen that happen many times.

"Sugoi there it goes again," Momo said. The match went on and Ryoma gradually took it, it ended in a victory for Ryoma 6-4.

"Good game," Kagome said happily she had stopped using the Sniper once it had hit Ryoma in the ear making him fall on his butt.

"Che, I would have had to work a lot harder if you hadn't stopped trying," Ryoma said, in truth he was sad because Kagome thought she had hurt him Kagome hugged him.

"I hate hurting you and Kiky, I hurts me," Kagome insisted, letting Ryoma go, he 'hned' and walked off, unable to face his sister with a straight face.

"Ryoma is such a brat sometimes, ne," Kikyo said to her double as she walked up behind her, Kagome shook her head.

"He just doesn't want us to worry about him even though we do," Kagome said Kikyo smiled and they walked out of the court to watch Eiji and Oishi play a match. Ryoma stayed away from his sisters all the rest of practice, it made them worry, he left so quickly many wondered if her had even changed. Kagome and Kikyo disappeared to their house, thinking of places Ryoma could be.

"Saa Ryoma-kun why are you here all alone and worrying your nee-chans to death," Fuji asked dramatically popping up behind Ryoma, Ryoma jumped and fell off the park bench he had been sitting on. Ryoma glared at Fuji but couldn't hold the glare, his face slid into a sad frown as he turned his face from the tensai, but Fuji had seen, "Saa, Ryoma whats up?"

"You don't need to know," Ryoma hissed at Fuji, who was taken aback, the kouhai he had began seeing as a little brother just like Yuuta was hissing at him. Ryoma never did that to anyone, save, Momo, his fan girls or the freshie trio.

"Yeah I do Ryoma," Fuji hissed back he grabbed Ryoma's arm to keep him from leaving, his growing feelings for a certain twin had noting to do with the worry he was now getting for Ryoma.

"Fuji-senpai stop it, I know you care about us but you don't need to know, it's not you're business it's theirs and mine so leave me alone," Ryoma said fighting Fuji strong hold, but it didn't loosen. Ryoma glared hard at Fuji but the tensai didn't let go.

"Ryoma what made your sisters move to Kanto," Fuji asked, his hold on Ryoma's arm is now so hard that it started to make Ryoma's left arm hurt.

"Let go of me Syuuske," Ryoma snarled yanking his arm painfully from Syuuske's grip.

"Ryoma tell me now," Fuji hissed at the freshman, Ryoma was taken aback by Fuji's sudden voice change. Ryoma fell onto the bench, his face set yet saddened.

"Their mom and gramps died, their adopted kid brother died to, I've known him ever since they adopted him as a baby. He was only nine, they cried all night when they found out and they still cry at home. No one knows or understands, Sota and I were their little brothers and Sota was mine, even if I'd never been related to him. I hate people knowing my feelings. Why the hell do you think I ignore people so much," Ryoma snapped. Fuji understood, for Ryoma, a person who NEVER let anyone in his walls it had to be hard to lose someone you felt like was a brother and then not be able to express your grief for them.

"So that's why they wear sunglasses and you never take you cap off anymore, you're grieving but you can't show it because he wasn't a blood relative so the school wouldn't except it, you had to find ways around it, that weren't conspicuous," Fuji deducted. Ryoma nodded.

"Yeah, I can't believe someone figured it out. They could claim to be grieving for their mom or gramps but they never wanted to, you don't know how hard it was for them to live there. They didn't want to leave cause of Sota but seriously they hated it there, their mom was a real bitch and their gramps was a stuck up old ass. They were so narrow minded about EVERYTHING Kagome and Kikyo did that the girls could barely live there, Kagome and Kikyo HATED them," Ryoma said probably the most words he had ever said at once in a LONG time.

"Do they know where you are," Fuji asked, Ryoma snorted.

"Do you think they do," Ryoma asked.

"No, let's go," Fuji said. He walked Ryoma home, Ryoma didn't need and escort but Fuji wanted to make sure that Ryoma didn't run again.

--

"Ryoma-san where were you," Nanako asked as Ryoma walked inside the front door of his house, Fuji having left at the front gate.

"Park, I'm not hungry, good night," Ryoma said he walked swiftly up to his room, and looked the door as he closed it behind him. He fell, fully clothed, onto his bed asleep.

"Ne, where's Ryoma," Kikyo asked Nanako as Ryoma's door clicked shut, Nanako sighed and pointed above, Kikyo and Kagome shrugged and went to their own room.

--

"HURRY UP YOU THREE," Momo called, the three Echizen kids ran from their house, they were all late. They bypassed Momo and kept running towards the school, Momo only just realized what had happened and took off after them.

--

"You didn't -pant- have to leave -pant- me," Momo panted/whined as the four of them huffed onto the courts just in time.

"Yeah we d-pant-id," Kikyo protested.

"Shhh!" Kagome hissed at them as Tezuka stalked in the courts, they stood erect as if nothing had happened, Tezuka looked them over.

"Echizen, you will have a match with me, Echizen will have a match with Momoshiro, and Echizen will have a match with Fuji," he commanded confusing everyone, the three Echizens looked at him confused, "Ryoma with me, Kikyo with Momoshiro, Kagome with Fuji, NOW!" The ones under question hastened to go to their spots, Ryoma inwardly groaned, he knew that Tezuka was only having a match with him to torture him in his tired state.

"I'll serve," Tezuka said, Ryoma nodded and hid his panting as he took his receiving place, Tezuka served and Ryoma had to sprint to catch it, Ryoma shot back and Tezuka caught it with utmost ease, while Ryoma was barely catching the shots, Kagome and Kikyo and Momo were having similar problems. Tezuka hit a pronouncedly hard shot to receive and Ryoma had to jump to catch it making himself go headfirst into the fence after he had returned it, on accident of course, he was almost tangled in the fence he had hit it so hard, Tezuka walked over to him.

"Bucho," Ryoma said, he painfully got up, his arms had cuts on them but he paid them no mind Tezuka inwardly smirked at Ryoma determination.

"Ready to start again," Tezuka asked, Ryoma nodded and the matches continued. The final scores went as follows, Ryoma Tezuka, match to Tezuka 6-3, Kagome Fuji, match to Fuji 6-2, Kikyo Momo, match to Kikyo 7-5.

"Saa, I won," Fuji told Kagome, she smirked at him.

"Yeah you did, Fujiko," Kagome said, this time Fuji smirked.

"But you held back a lot didn't you, Kagie," Fuji asked, Kagome choked on the water she was drinking, Fuji thumped her on the back. Kagome swallowed hard and squealed. Fuji held back his hand s and Kagome stood up.

"You called me K-Kagie," Kagome blushed.

"You called me Fujiko," Fuji countered, Kagome blushed harder.

"W-Well Eiji-kun calls you that so I t-t-thought I could, only Ryoma and Kikyo call me Kagie, well and -mumbles- Inu...," Kagome said, her face fell at the last word.

"What, who else," Fuji asked, Kagome suddenly had teas pouring down her face she walked silently out of the court saying something to Tezuka about water, Kikyo approached Fuji.

"What happened Fuji-kun?" Kikyo asked.

"She called me Fujiko, that's fine so I just called her Kagie and she got flustered and mumbled how only you, Ryoma and someone name Inu only called her Kagie," Fuji said confused, Kikyo sighed.

"Kagome's old Boyfriend Inuyasha used to call her that before he left her and went to America. That dog breathed bastard dumped her just before a big match that he new was important to her and left on that day. That's a reason Kagie doesn't play to hard anymore, she lost the sprite and I only like to play her or Ryoma or someone interesting so yeah, we both kinda fell from grace," Kikyo admitted a little touchy.

"Saa, that makes sense, umm, I've never had to ask anyone this but should I apologize to her," Fuji asked, for once in his life he didn't know what to do.

"You should, but she's back now, go," Kikyo instructed, Fuji stood up and pulled Kagome over to a side, away from the others, he apologized and she insisted it wasn't his fault, that she just got upset sometimes about h-i-m.

"So you're not mad," Fuji asked, slightly worried he had upset his new interest, she smiled and shook her head.

"Of course not, you didn't know, please call me Kagie, ok," Kagome said, Fuji put on his normal sadistic smile and nodded, the people who had silently been watching were astounded, well most of them were, Ryoma and Kikyo weren't they could tell both sides had liked each other for a while, Momo and Eiji however where shocked when Fuji and Kagome hugged tightly the turned around to face them, Ryoma and Kikyo ran for it just before Fuji and Kagome saw them. Momo and Eiji weren't so lucky so they faced Kagome's wrath.

"BAKA BAKA BAKA," Kagome yelled at them hitting them with tennis ball after tennis ball as they ran for it.

"KAGOME-SAN, MOMOSHIRO, KIKUMARU! 15 LAPS FOR DISTURBING PRACTICE!" Bellowed Tezuka, Kagome set off like a flash on her laps, Momo and Eiji followed. Kikyo doubled over in silent giggles, Ryoma snorted quietly and Fuji chuckled silently.

"Ne, Ryoma come here," Kagome said once practice was over, she had been watching Ryoma like a hawk since he crash landed in the fence, Kikyo to was concerned, both twins pulled Ryoma into the clubhouse while everyone was still cooling down.

"Lift it," Kikyo commanded, Ryoma looked at her, then realized what she meant, he inwardly cussed and lifted the left side of his shirt, there was a fence patterned area of bruises and a cut on a rib, Ryoma hadn't even known how bad it was because he wasn't stupid enough to give away that his side still hurt. Kagome and Kiyo scowled at him.

"Why?"

"I had to finish my match then my other ones," Ryoma replied emotionlessly, he dropped his shirt back own, grabbed his bag and left before Kagome or Kikyo could do a thing, they scowled in his general direction but it would be to much of a commotion to chase him down, Fuji, thankfully, and Momo caught up to Ryoma and started walking with him.
