A/N: It took me a while, but here's the next chapter! This is his ex-lovers POV, mainly Yukimura's. Please review.

Darkhuntressxir- I believe this chapter answers some of those questions, but I can't give away what really happened between them just yet, since it would spoil it, but you will find out in one of the future chapters!

'Talking'- Flashback

Ryoma stared at the floor for a moment with his dull, gold eyes. He couldn't believe what he did! He had really left the men that he loved more than anything! He didn't know how he could have done this! But… then again, his lovers were the ones who forgot about him and it was time to move on, since they obviously had. Still… no matter how much he tried to convince himself that it was for the best, he couldn't help, but feel so guilty and sad.

Was it really for the best, though? To leave them like this… he couldn't help, but think that perhaps if he had stayed… No! Nothing would have changed! He would still be forgotten and ignored and he really couldn't condemn a child like that. Because, surely, if he was ignored, then so would the baby, his precious little unborn baby that would be his only reminder of his former life.

He smiled sadly and laid his hand on his flat stomach. That's right, this was all he had left of his lovers, and that was definitely sad, but this… this was definitely for the best, he couldn't keep living like this.

With that thought in mind, he looked up and schooled his features as he walked through the airport gates towards his new life in Los Angeles. It was time to move on, he wasn't going to mull on this anymore, he had his new baby inside his tummy, and that was all he needed!

"Ryoma!" He heard Kevin call out to him from the distance and nodded as he walked towards him.

"Hey, Kevin!" He greeted him with fake enthusiasm as the blond spread his arms to hug him.

Ryoma scowled and side-stepped the blond before he could hug him and sent him a glare. "Can we just go pick up Karupin and my luggage, already?!" He asked him impatiently as the other male sighed.

"Fine, just promise me that you'll tell me what happened, alright?" Kevin asked him hopefully and cheerfully followed the shorter boy when he didn't receive an answer. He already knew that he would get it out of his friend eventually, so he didn't have to worry about that. The only thing that did make him upset, though, were the bastards that made Ryoma cry, he promised himself that he was going to protect him from those idiots!

The brunet narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Will you hurry up?! I'm tired and I'm sure that Karupin is, too! You can daydream about your fantasies at home all you like, got it?!"

The blond blinked for a moment before sending his own scowl towards Ryoma and snorting in distaste as walked forward and ahead of him, not appreciating the comment in the least.

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."

Keigo Atobe scowled as he sat on the couch with his four lovers. They had just watched the interview that Ryoma was in and honestly, he was both pissed and sad at the same time. How dare that brat get a new boyfriend?! He was theirs and no one else had the right to touch him!

"Our little baby has a new boyfriend." Fuji stated seriously with his eyes fully open as he contemplated what he was going to do to the bastard that dared to even touch his Ryoma.

Seiichi narrowed his eyes and smiled sadistically, already knowing what his lover was thinking and he agreed fully with him, he was going to torture the man slowly and painfully until he promised never to go anywhere near his little again. "Syuu, I believe we have to something about this, right?"

"Of course what kind of boyfriends would we be, if we didn't?" Fuji replied closing his eyes and smiling dangerously. This was going to be fun! He couldn't help, but feel so angry about this situation, at Ryoma, at Kevin, at his lovers, his friends… at himself. Yes, it was true; he was very upset with himself for losing that boy.

The stoic duo sighed and rubbed their heads as they stared at the sadistic duo. They were both feeling a headache coming on. It was true; they did feel upset, as well about this situation. How could Ryoma betray them like that?! How could they let him?! All those questions went unanswered as Tezuka stood up to get himself and Sanada some aspirin; he had a feeling that they would need it.

Meanwhile, Atobe looked at his sadistic lovers and smirked. He knew those looks very well, and it wasn't the first or the last time he was going to see it. If nothing else, those two would make sure that their brat was going to regret ever leaving them and if they didn't, he would! He got out his phone and started to dial a very familiar number that would take them towards his brat, only to pause in his work when Fuji interrupted his thoughts.

"Wait, that little girl in Ryo's arms, she looks just like Sei with Ryo's eyes." Fuji stated in disbelief as he stiffened. Now, this was definitely news to him! What the hell was Ryoma hiding from him, from them?!

All of them were in shock, as similar thoughts were running through their heads, but Yukimura recovered first as he frowned sadly and clenched his jaw. He didn't think that his cute little kitten could ever hide something like this from him! Why didn't he tell him he had a daughter?! It just didn't make sense! He bit his lip harshly as he continued to stare at the screen in anger. "Well, well, looks like our little baby was hiding a little secret from us."

When they arrived in L.A, it was eleven in the morning and sunny as it should be. They were visiting a city where they could practically do anything they wanted to, but the only thing they wanted was their brat and daughter. They didn't care about anything else, not the beaches, or the luxuries they could get and entertain themselves with. They needed to bring back Ryoma Echizen, their little lost love. And this time, they were going to make sure that he never got away from them ever again.

Atobe frowned as he stared out the window of his limo. They were going to his mansion in Beverly Hills, but all he could think about was Ryoma. He couldn't help it, really. Before Ryoma left them, he was sure that he gave him everything that he wanted. But obviously that wasn't enough, the little guy left them. He just couldn't understand why, perhaps, that was how it was supposed to be. Or perhaps, just maybe, he didn't really want to know, he didn't want to find out that they meant nothing to the brat, after all. Whatever it was, he was sure that when he found out the answer, nothing would be the same ever again.

He looked up and managed to put a smirk on his beautiful face when he saw that they finally arrived at his mansion. It was beautiful and luxurious, just like everything else that he owned. But that was to be expected, since he was a millionaire CEO, one of the most powerful men in the world, well, himself and Tezuka, of course.

Once they all came inside and into the living room, Keigo sat down on one of the chairs, along with Shūsuke, who sat on the arm of his chair and leaned back. "So, what are we supposed to do now?" He asked his lovers curiously as he stared specifically at Kunimitsu for answers.

Tezuka taking the queue to speak, he fixed his glasses and stared right back the other male. "We should wait." He answered, knowing that it would not go well with his other lovers, since they were far too impatient some times. But really, what choice did they have? They couldn't just storm right up to Ryoma and demand answers, that just wasn't an option for them. Truthfully, he himself was getting a bit restless; he wanted Ryoma back just as much as the others. He belonged to them, but if they weren't careful, they would just drive him even further away.

Yukimura narrowed his vivid blue eyes and glared at the taller male. He didn't care whether his lovers approved or not, he wanted his Ryoma back and he wanted answers! He had a daughter, who he didn't even know existed, that was just icing on the cake! It broke his heart to know that not only was Ryoma with someone else, but his daughter was with that person, too. Sure, he knew that he hurt Ryoma, he was part of the reason that the boy left. And he regretted it more than anything; he regretted not being there for his love, and most of all, he regretted forgetting about him. That shouldn't have happened! But even so, right now, he was beyond hurt, he was… pissed! Ryoma and that little girl was his and no one else's; he would be damned if he didn't get them back. "I don't want to wait! I want to see my little Ryoma and my daughter, now!" No, wasn't going to wait, he was getting them back as soon as possible!

"I agree I feel the same way." Shūsuke agreed as he gave him a small smile. Just like his lover, he also wanted Ryoma back, and quickly, too. He wasn't going to stand for any interruptions, anymore. He was getting his baby boy back, and no one was going to get in his way.

Tezuka was about to object, but Sanada intervened, knowing that it was pointless to argue with the sadistic duo. "We can't all go. Only two of us can and you both can't go either. So, I'll go with Seiichi." He wasn't too sure about this, either, and just like Tezuka, he felt hesitant about going to see Ryoma. It wasn't as if he didn't want to, no, quite the opposite. But he knew that it wasn't going to be the reunion that they all wanted, it wasn't going to be a happy one, that was for sure. And… he didn't want to scar Ryoma more than they already had. They, well, he wanted to make amends and apologize to the younger male. He knew that he was at fault and what he did was unforgivable, but he still wanted Ryoma back more than anything.

"Gen~, is that really a good idea?" Fuji asked sweetly, smiling with his eyes open, promising a world of pain if he agreed. This just wouldn't do, he needed to see Ryoma, just as much as the others. It wasn't fair for him to be left out of this.

All his lovers, except Seiichi, shivered. They knew that when the brunette wanted something, he usually got it, even if he had to use sadism to get it. Just that alone made Sanada gulp and lick his lips in nervousness. "…I do think it's a good idea, actually." Sanada choked out, knowing that he may as well have just signed his death warrant.

Fuji narrowed his eyes angrily and opened his mouth to hiss something back, but Atobe cut him off just in the nick of time. "Ore-sama wants to see our little kitten too, but Ore-sama thinks Genichirou is correct." He truly did hope that it was enough to placate their lover and get his attention off of the other male.

Tezuka nodded and stoically replied, figuring that it was best to step in before something… unfortunate happened to the tall male. "Gen is right, Syuu, we should go to the mall. I know that both you and Keigo both enjoy shopping. Besides that don't you have to buy a new camera?" He asked, hoping to distract the younger.

Fuji glared at all three of them, giving them a warning that he wasn't done with them. "Fine, but next time I'll go to see Ryo and you can't stop me." Sure, he'd… forgive his lovers this time, but that didn't mean that he'd let them stop him a second time. He will see go to see Ryoma another time, no matter what!

Atobe nodded in relief as he relaxed somewhat, while, Seiichi went to get the keys, before Sanada interrupted him as he put his hand on the others shoulder. "Wait, Seiichi, we don't even know where he lives."

The bluenette turned around and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Oh, so now of all times he admitted that he didn't know Ryoma's address, right when they were about to go. Hmm, he definitely needed to show Gen his love tonight.

Atobe smirked before the bluenette could threaten Sanada and cut him off. "It's okay, be grateful, because the generous, Ore-sama, has found his address. All of you plebeians should show the great Ore-sama your gratitude!"

Yukimura's lips twitched upwards into a small smile as brushed off the hand on his shoulder and went for the door, with the car keys held firmly in his hand. "Thanks, Kei, I'll definitely have to think of something to thank you with."

Atobe nodded arrogantly as he held the smirk on his face, while Sanada sighed in relief, thinking that he got a reprieve for his boyfriend and went to follow the other out the door.

"Let's go, Gen, I want to take the Porsche." Seiichi told him with a hint of coldness in his voice as he opened the door and left without another look, making Sanada sigh again and shake his head before following him out the door.

Yukimura sighed in annoyance when he drove his car over to the curb on the opposite side of a large house; Ryoma's house to be more specific. And truly, it did suit the younger boy, though, it wasn't entirely a pleasant surprise to the bluenette, it was as though the brat traded up from them; which was a completely ridiculous thought. How many times had he asked himself if he and his lovers didn't give Ryoma enough that he left them? At that moment, he thought he had a semblance of an answer. Was it entirely their fault that Ryoma left them? At that moment, he couldn't entirely agree with that. Just like it was their fault, it was also his! Perhaps, if they had done more for him, this whole situation wouldn't have happened?

Sanada sighed as he watched his lover glare at the house. Honestly, it was a bit disturbing, since in his gut, he couldn't help but feel the opposite of what the bluenette felt. He was proud that their brat had taken care of himself for all these years, though; he did feel jealous at the fact that he wasn't the one to provide him with everything.

He put his tightened his hold over his sweatshirt as did the bluenette. They didn't want to be recognized yet, and had to wear disguises, though he supposed that Yukimura could simply snap and reveal themselves. "I think we should ring the door bell, don't you, Gen~?" Seiichi asked sweetly as he gave an innocent look, that was anything, but innocent.

Sanada shivered in fear and gulped as he tried to deal with his angry lover. "Uh… no, I think we should wait and see what Ryoma does, remember, Ryoma might get upset if we just show up on his doorstep."

"Don't be ridiculous, we need to go see him! I want answers and I really want to punish him for making us go through all this trouble!" Seiichi answered in annoyance, as he clenched his fists tightly over his sweatshirt. He knew that he was letting his anger and mental exhaustion get the best of him, but… "Gen, we need-"

"Shh, there he goes." Sanada cut him off as he saw the door opening from the main entrance of the house, which made the bluenette look over. The smaller male's breath hitched as he his little daughter quickly come outside and run onto the sidewalk. The younger bluenette was wearing light blue jeans and a pink tank top, with pink ribbons in her hair. Honestly, she was almost a carbon copy of himself, which made him feel all the more resentful and annoyed. Should he just accept it and forgive Ryoma? He didn't know and that bothered him.

"Ai, don't go anywhere, wait for me." A familiar male voice yelled out from inside the house.

Aiko pouted as she turned around for a second to look back at the door. "Huwwy up, Dada"

A familiar short man came out of the house with a small bag on his shoulder, wearing dark blue skinny jeans and a red polo with three black horizontal lines in the middle of the top. His hair was hair hadn't changed all that much, it was still black with a green tint in it and boyishly styled as always. Ryoma sighed as he gave her an arrogant smirk. "See, love, I'm out."

"Mada mada, Dada!" Aiko replied as she shook her small head and gave him a smirk of her own, one that was almost completely identical to the older male. Ryoma just shook his head at her actions with a small chuckle leaving his lips and took Aiko's hand in his own and lead her to the garage.

Once they were inside, they walked over to the red BMW M3. Ryoma picked up the excited little girl and put her in the car seat. Then he sat in the driver's seat and drove off, happily listening as the little girl babbled to him.

"Where do you think they're going?" Yukimura asked curiously from their own car as they watched them drive off. He was honestly curious as to where his love and daughter were going, hopefully not to see Ryoma's current boyfriend, though.

Sanada sighed and rubbed his temples as he felt a newly formed headache coming on. "I don't know, but I'm pretty sure we're going to find out, right?"

The bluenette scowled at his black-haired boyfriend and rolled his eyes. The black haired male was of no help at all, it was rather a bit annoying since he was usually very helpful with the right incentive. "We're following them." He replied curtly, completely disregarding Sanada's rhetorical question.

0000

The blue haired male slowed down as he saw Ryoma park his car and start walking towards the park on their right with Aiko in his arms. He drove over to a parking space and parked the car as he kept watch over the shorter male's actions, along with his taller lover. He licked his lips when he saw Ryoma put the little girl into a baby swing. Just the sight of that scene alone made the older bluenette's heart ache. He wanted to be right there, right along with Ryoma swinging their baby girl. He wanted to be a family with them.

Yukimura smiled slightly as he turned towards his partner and let out a small chuckle. "Gen, our little Ryo is quite a mother, don't you think?"

Sanada watched as Ryoma laughed, while Ai waved her arms around in excitement. Truly, the sight was so surreal to him, it was breathtaking. He let out a small smile of his own, before turning to his lover and clearing his throat, with a small blush lingering on his cheeks. "I think that he's good with kids, but he's more like a father, Sei, he's not a girl." Even while saying that, he couldn't help, but think the role suited their youngest love.

"It doesn't matter, he gave birth to her, and therefore he's a mother." Seiichi replied with a huff and turned back to watch the duo in the park with a longing in his eyes.

Sanada sighed and shook his head at his lover's antics. He couldn't win an argument with the sadist, even if he tried. It was a bit disconcerting to him, since he was the seme in their relationship. "You're right, I guess."

"Of course, aren't I always?" Seiichi asked rhetorically as he smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. He really did enjoy messing with his lovers, they were all so easy to manipulate and tease, well, except Fuji, since he was just like him.

Meanwhile, Ryoma took Aiko out of the swing and set her down onto the ground, his eyes shining warmly as he gazed at his most important person. "Well, what do you want to do next?" Ryoma asked curiously, while smiling warmly at the little bluenette.

Ai widened her eyes and smiled brightly at her dad as she fiddled with her small top. "I want to pway twag!"

Ryoma raised his eyebrow at her teasingly before bending down to her level and poking her, making her squeal and laugh. "Alright then, tag, you're it, love! Try to catch me if you can!"

00000

Yukimura checked his watched as he saw Ryoma yawn a little, the sight was utterly adorable. An hour had passed since they arrived in the park, and little Aiko had just fallen asleep. The sight of their younger lover carrying his daughter into the car made Seiichi's heart swell with longing; he could just imagine both himself and Ryoma tucking in their little girl as she went to sleep. He was brought out of his musings as Sanada nudged him to start driving after them.

Once they arrived next to Ryoma's house, the bluenette parked their car in its previous spot as he watched Ryoma park his own in the garage next to a black Ferrari. He contemplated getting out of the car and meeting his lover, but he had to quell his urge, knowing that it would scare the other boy and possibly ruin any chances they would have had with him. Yukimura sighed as he watched the younger black haired boy take Aiko out of the car and towards his home.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the door opened before Ryoma could enter his home to reveal a smiling blond man that made Seiichi hiss under his breath as he recognized him as Echizen's lover. "Hey, how was your afternoon?" Kevin asked curiously as he wrapped his arms around the smaller male to support him.

Ryoma smirked arrogantly as he leaned into the blond. "Mada mada dane."

Kevin shook his head at his lover's antics and kissed Ryoma chastely on the lips, before pulling away and giving Ai a small peck on her blue-haired head. "That good huh?" He chuckled as he closed the door after them.

Seiichi tightened his hands on the wheel as he smiled sweetly towards his partner with a deathly aura surrounding himself. "Well, Gen, it seems that a certain someone will have to pay deeply for taking away both our baby boy and daughter." Oh, Kevin was definitely going to pay big time for messing with them.

Sanada nodded as he scowled angrily. He hated the sight of the blond American taking care of Ryoma and Ai, though, he would be fine with just getting Ryoma and their little girl back, but somehow he didn't think Yukimura and Fuji would agree to that. Somewhere deep down within himself, he really pitied the blond for what he was going to get.

000000

Yukimura exhaled once they finally arrived back home at Atobe's mansion. He was mentally drained from seeing his baby boy and little girl in the arms of another. Truly, everything that they've done to their boy could be written off as a mere figment of their imagination and blame their simple and forgetful minds, but really? What was the use? It wouldn't get their little boy back where he belonged no matter how much he wished the smaller male was here with them.

No, it's true what they done was probably seen as unforgivable in Ryoma's mind, but honestly, what Seiichi would blame first and foremost is their response to the problem. They should have tried harder to find him, they should have gone after him, and most importantly, they should have seen how miserable their little uke was. It was as if there were multiples of never ending numbers of issues they had in their relationship and the solution their little boy provided happened to be the elimination of himself and his property, which was considered unacceptable by all other parties involved.

His final question and conclusion to all of this was, when exactly did their relationship start to decay and whether they had matured enough to fix it and get their baby back? He didn't know the answer to that, but he did know one thing, whether Ryoma liked it or not, he would get him back to the bluenette himself one way or another. That he promised himself no matter what.

He forced a smile onto his face as he turned to his stiff companion and tilted his head. "We should go tell the others what happened." He told with tiredness clearly seeping out with every word he spoke.

Sanada nodded as he got out first and turned to see a red Aston Martin parked outside their driveway that could only belong to their friend. "We should hurry then; Renji is here, along with Akaya, no doubt."

Not wanting to keep their guests waiting, they hurried to the door, ignoring the renovations their purple haired lover had decided to make and went inside to look for their guests.

Both of their guests were sitting in the living room, drinking tea and eating freshly made scones. Of course, that wasn't very surprising, but seeing the frigid bodies of their lovers sitting on the opposite side of the duo made them cautious as they entered the living room.

"What's going on?" Seiichi asked warily in surprise as he went to sit next to a certain purple haired diva.

Atobe looked up him with wary smile of his own and answered carefully, trying to discern how their trip went. "They came to visit us to talk about our little kitten."

"Well, we did see him, though, it wasn't as pleasant a sight as I hoped. His boyfriend was there, as well." Seiichi looked into the diva's eyes as he practically spat the work 'boyfriend' out, his own eyes darkening considerably before turning towards the other sadist in the room. "We really should take care of that little bug as soon as possible, don't you think, Syuu?"

Fuji opened his eyes and smiled back at him with a sadistic smile of his own, unconsciously clenching his fist in the process. "Of course, that boy needs to be eliminated as soon as possible."

Everyone in the room shivered from the sadistic aura that surrounded the two sadists, silently thanking Kami that it wasn't directed at them. It was scary enough for the other trio to live with two murderous, sadistic men, but actually having both of them angry practically signed the death warrant of whoever the anger was directed at. And for once, the trio didn't even pity the poor, foolish man that decided to steal their kitten's heart.

Sanada cleared his throat, deciding to get back to the topic at hand before that anger was redirected at them. "Renji, Akaya, what did you want to tell us?"

Renji looked at his long time friend solemnly and began with a sigh. "Right, well…"

0000000

It was nightfall when Yanagi and Kirihara left. The crescent moon shined brightly in the night sky as the cool air managed to seep through their opened window, making the smaller brunette shiver at the chilled air. Tezuka went over to the opened window and closed it, before turning to his lovers on their bed. Each one of them had their own thoughts about Ryoma; truly he was the one person they could never predict.

Even so, they did the only thing they could, they thought about how to get him back, preferably without using force as that was apparently illegal and considered kidnapping.

Tezuka sighed as he turned towards the calendar with his eyebrows furrowed. It was a long shot, but he actually did think of something. "We should go to Australia for the Australian Open and confront him after he wins. It's probably the only opportunity we'll get." He suggested stoically as he turned back towards the other four.

Atobe nodded as he put his finger under his chin in thought. That might actually work out for them in the long run! "Ore-sama agrees; it's the perfect place to go!"

A/N: So what do you think? Please review. The ending will be OT6, however, please note that there will be other pairings before reaching the end.
