Chapter 7: some truth

Kevin P.O.V.

As I saw Ryoma fall backwards towards the ground I called his name and ran towards him. I skidded halfway across the court and caught him.

"Ryoma… Ryo-chan, can you hear me?" I asked brushing a few stray hairs out of his face.

"N-Nii-chan… don't feel well…"

"Can you stand?" I asked supporting him slightly. He tried to sit up however he fell back into my arms.

"T-to weak…"

I saw someone kneel on the other side of Ryoma. "Ryoma, daijobu desu ka?" I heard Shusuke ask. Ryoma shook his head. I tried to lift him up however my arms didn't seem to work.

"Kevin-kun maybe we should get him inside?" Shusuke suggested.

"I agree however I can't seem to lift him." I explained.

Shusuke took Ryoma out of my arms; as if he was a new born baby; and carried him out of the court. I grabbed Ryoma's bag as I ran after him. Shusuke laid Ryoma on one of the benches in the changing rooms.

"Ryo-chan, I need you to tell me what's wrong." I said kneeling beside him.

"…Not feeling good…Bucket…"

I grabbed the nearest waste bucket and held it while Ryoma throw up. He heaved a few times before lying back on the bench.

"Want to go home?" I asked brushing some of his hair off of his face. He nodded and I took my phone out of my pocket. I dialed Ryoga's number.

"Hello?" he asked tiredly when he finally picked up.

"Nii-kun! Finally! Ototo-chan isn't well can you pick us up?"

"Nani! How ill?"

"Throwing up ill."

"I can be there in about half an hour. Where are you?"
"Seigaku middle school we are in the changing rooms."

"Okay be there soon Ja."

"Ja." I said hanging up. "Ryo-chan, nii-kun's coming can you last half an hour?"

"T-think so." He said before curling up on his side. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

"Kevin-kun how is he?" I heard Oishi ask.

"He's okay I think." I said stroking his hair.

"Nii-chan… no do that…" Ryoma said squatting my hand away causing me to giggle.

"Why not?" I asked.

"No like… Karupin…"

"Karupin is at home."

"No… Plush Karupin…" he said pointing at his bag. I looked at him confused but opened his bag and found a replicate of Karupin only in teddy form. I smirked and remembered how Ryoga had picked it up for him in France. I handed it to him and Ryoma took it and held it close.

"D-Doushite?" I asked still slightly confused.

"I can't hold Karupin like this. She'd scratch me to death." He said holding the plush closer.

"True." I said softly. I watched Ryoma as he fell asleep before sighing.

"Kevin-kun?"

"Hai?"

"What's wrong? Why is Ochibi-chan ill?" Eiji asked curiously.

Kevin sighed and slid onto the floor. "Ryoma has… nightmares, flashbacks if you will. No one knows when they are going to come up. They can occur at any time how ever the medication that he uses makes him sleepy and sometimes they have worse effects on him."

"Worse… affects?"

"Throwing up, migraines so on and so forth. He's been on six different kinds of medication since the open three years ago." Kevin said before sighing. He stood and walked to the court again. He packed up his and Ryoma's equipment before picking up both their bags and going towards the changing rooms. As he approached he found a very confused Ryoga looking around.

"N-Nii-chan?"

"AH! Chibisuke! Yokatta! I thought I was in the wrong place."

"Nah, you're not. Come on Ototo-chan is in here." Kevin said smiling as he showed him to the changing rooms. Kevin opened the door and found Shusuke trying to hold a thrashing Ryoma down. Kevin dropped the bags and ran over to him. He leant in and whispered in Ryoma's ear while stroking his hair. After about ten minutes Ryoma settled down and fell into a dreamless sleep. Kevin sighed and sat back. "Like I said it can happen anytime." He muttered. Ryoga stepped further into the room and slipped his shades into the top of his head.

"You really need to tell us what happened Chibi other wise we can't help chibisuke." Ryoga said glaring slightly.

"Not my place to tell. He'll tell when he's ready." Kevin said picking the bags up again. Shusuke pulled a piece of paper out of his bag and wrote his number on the sheet. Eiji took it off of him and did the same the remainder of the regulars did the same until all their numbers were on the sheet. Ryoga picked Ryoma up and walked to the door.

"Ochibi-kun!" Eiji said jumping across to Kevin. Kevin turned and looked at him confused before cocking his head to the side. "Here! This is our numbers. Text us and let us know how ochibi-chan is doing nya?"

"Hai Eiji-senpai." Kevin said taking the piece of paper before opening the door. He was about to step out however he came face to face with Kunimitsu.

"Buchou! Gomen." Kevin said bowing.

"Daijobu Kevin-kun. Come to the tennis courts tomorrow morning about nine half nine. Bring Ryoma if he's better."

"Hai Buchou."

"Ja ne Kevin-kun, Echizen-san."

"Ja Tezuka-kun." Ryoga said. Kunimitsu moved aside and allowed Ryoga and Kevin out. Shusuke followed them to the car with Ryoma's school bag and tennis bag. Ryoga opened his car and managed to get Ryoma into the back seat without waking him up. Shusuke and Kevin placed the bags in the back and Shusuke stood back as Kevin climbed into the passenger seat. Ryoga climbed into the driver seat and clipped in.

"Ja ne Fuji-senpai. See you tomorrow." Kevin said waving to him.

"Oi, chibi clip in." Ryoga said smirking.

"Mmhmm." Kevin said sticking his tongue out at Ryoga but clipped in. once he was clipped in Ryoga turned the engine on and they drove off leaving Shusuke looking after them.

A/N: sorry for the long await I had exams and course work to do. I am actually surprised how quickly I managed to finish typing this. I hop you enjoy this chapter Mika-chan. P.S. will hopefully have another chapter up soon.
