DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS. BUT THE PLOT IS MINE!
Higa's POV
After an hour of travelling, Higa finally arrived at the address Atobe had given Kite.
And just as they thought, most of the teams that Seigaku had faced in the past were there.
Kite and everyone slowly entered the backyard and saw how gloomy the atmosphere was.
It was totally devastating.
Everyone followed Higa as they made where way to where Ryoma's picture was placed.
Tanishi fell on his knees in front of Ryoma.
"Gaki! How could you do this to everyone? How could you just leave them without saying goodbye?" he spilled his heart out.
Kite knew that Tanishi had been trying to hold in everything but when he saw the blow up photo of the kid, he lost whatever control he had.
"You still owe me a rematch, you little…" the big guy sobbed.
Kai and Chinen pulled him back and Kite came up front.
He bowed and stared at Ryoma for a few silent moments.
"Ryoma Echizen, you have indeed moved people without even trying. I have to admit, after our defeat in your team's hands, it made us think about the way we did things and now because of you, we play better than ever." Kite's tone was full of sorrow.
"Sad that you won't get to see the new us, kid." Kai said, trying to smile to make everyone feel a little better.
After a few more minutes, Higa came out into the yard to give their respects to Nanjirou and Rinko.
"You're son was truly one of a kind." Kite told them.
Nanjirou and Rinko couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, that brat of mine was special." Nanjirou told Higa before they all turned to see who came into the yard.
