PLEASE READ THIS BLURB

Alo! Kiyu-chan here. ^-^ This is the continuation from last chapter. Forgive my obsession of slapping. It's better than having the people receive punches right? Also, forgive me for making events so completely random. According to the votes and such, Atobe and Fuji wins as the two attackers!! I'm sorry if this is confusing/boring!! My mind was all over the place when I wrote the second half of the story. If it is really no good, I can always rewrite it to be better. ^-^;; (making it up as I write along)

Note: If you do not like rape or abuse, skip the Flashback section all the way to the last two paragraphs before the DreamEnd line.

Next Chapter: Maybe next week ish? I have science fair. ^

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Prince of tennis though I do own the 'EVENTs' involving Seishun and Hyotei. ^-^

IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE INTO THE STORY, FEEL FREE TO TELL ME! =D (PM is preferred)

Anyways, have fun reading! Please review!! But no dissing my story-writing skills/grammar. I already know it's bad. -__-

"Ah-ahh! Stop... please!" Ryoma cried out, thrashing against his restraints, blindfolded…His body covered with blood and abuse markings. Two figures loomed over the small boy with wide smirks and lust-filled eyes as Ryoma was struck on his left cheek very very hard. "We can do whatever we want, unless you want us to post pictures of you online in your current state." said Fuji, taking pictures of Ryoma being attacked by Atobe. He coughed out blood as Atobe started to bite and suck the blood from Ryoma's neck like a vampire. "A—!!" Ryoma's scream was drowned out into Fuji's as Fuji sucked his mouth dry, refusing to let Ryoma take another breath. He wanted to throw up. This was so wrong! They were all guys! Why are they doing this to him? Are they vampires or something? He wasn't turned on one bit. He couldn't breathe. It was so painful everywhere. All he could do was cry, using the last of his breath, he mumbled into the invading mouth "Dareka, daskete.. onegai! (Somebody, save me.. please!)" As if Heaven heard his plea, the door of the room busted open.

"Echizen!" someone shouted out to him with a very worried and angry voice. Ryoma's mind was very foggy and he started to black out from lack of oxygen. All he could hear/ feel was violence, Atobe and Fuji pushed off of him, and a new figure replaced them. Before he knew it, the blindfold was lifted. He still couldn't breathe. Using all his energy, he opened half his golden eyes. He couldn't see properly through his tears, but he could make out a crying and worried Momo.

"Momo-senpai…" were Ryoma's last whisper before he started to blackout as Momo's hysteric voice calling out to him faded out little by little.

"RYOMA!!!" shouted Nanjiroh followed by two buckets of cold water. Ryoma suddenly snapped out of his dream and quickly sat upright, coughing out the water that got in his mouth as he desperately gasped for air. Each time he drew in a small breath, a harsh cough followed it. Nanjiroh gave a hard whack on Ryoma's back which looked quite fatal. He coughed out the remaining water and panted violently for air. His skin tone had a strange mix of blue, purple and red.

"Ojisama! You don't have to be that rough!" Nanako exclaimed.

"Shounen! Are you okay?! Shounen!" Nanjiroh said in a worried voice as he continuously shook Ryoma. He finally started breathing normally, his natural skin tone returning. He nodded. "Mattaku, don't keep worrying us like this!" Nanjiroh complained with relief.

"What happened?" Ryoma winced at his sore throat.

"You suddenly started screaming nonstop telling someone to stop or something… I kept slapping you, trying to wake you up." Nanjiroh explained. Ryoma then noticed that his cheeks stung.

"Suddenly, you just stopped breathing. We thought you were going to die. You nearly gave ojisama and me a heart attack!" Nanako was on the brink of crying.

"Che. It's impossible to die from holding your breath. You would just lose consciousness and continue breathing normally." Ryoma said with an overly-calm tone. Or so it sounded like it. Nanako gave Ryoma a hard slap on the cheek. "ITAI! What did you do that for?!" He exclaimed as he rubbed his already red cheek.

"We were so worried about you!" Nanako screamed, running out his room with Nanjiroh following her.

"They worry too much." Ryoma thought, still rubbing his sore cheek. He looked at his alarm clock and……. "WAAAAH!!!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ugh. Ryoma really felt like throwing up now that he remembered the dream clearly. Never again will he have the ability to look straight at Fuji or Atobe. "Echizen-san," said the English teacher. "please read the next line."

"Uissu" replied Ryoma. Despite his wandering mind, he somehow kept up with the class in the reading which would surprise all teachers.

Back over at Momo corner, he kept asking for the teacher to repeat questions directed at him. His mind still swirled around his strange dream he had.

During the period before lunch, all the first years had to gather in the auditorium. "Ne, Echizen!" whispered Horio "What do you think is going on here?"

"Who knows…" replied Ryoma as he unbuttoned his black jacket-like uniform. It was really hot in the auditorium. Everyone stopped talking as a loud screeching sound echoed through the auditorium from the speakers.

"A-ah, sorry!!" stuttered the principle. The principle was a young woman that had short, brown hair with glasses and casual clothes. "You might be wondering why you were all called here. First off, I'd like you to welcome Hyoutei's third year students. (A/N: they are standing behind the freshmen) The second and third years of our school have an ongoing project, and all the teachers will be helping them. Since the whole school will be in use for two weeks, all the freshmen will have to go elsewhere. Thankfully, the Hyoutei Gakuen Chutu Bu is kind enough to let all of you attend there for the following two weeks. Because Hyoutei is a very large school and will take time to get used to the environment, everyone here will be attending classes with the third years in partners. All the teachers have matched out your partners according to your interests, personalities and gender. Lastly, you will be living with your partner for the next two weeks due to distance problems. We have already contacted all your parents and agreed. These new changes will be applied after the weekend. Please line up in order according to your class to be matched with your partner. After you get your partner, let's have lunch together to know each other more. Dismissed." The principle finally finished talking and rambling.

By the time the teachers finished telling everyone their third year partners, everyone went "who's this person?" except for the Ichinen trio and Ryoma. Horio was paired with a person he didn't know, Kachirou with Oshitari, and Katsuo with Jiro. "Our personalities don't match at all!!" thought Kachirou and Katsuo as they looked up at the two Hyoutei tennis regulars while Horio and his unknown new partner tried to know each other better.

Ryoma was in the worst shock. He stood there, staring at Atobe with large, gold eyes with fear but of course he did his best to hide it. Whether or not Atobe noticed, he smirked at his partner. Images of his nightmare started flashing and appearing in Ryoma's mind. Suddenly, his legs started trembling. He felt weaker and weaker until his legs gave way. He clasped into Atobe's strong, sturdy arms. "Heh, looks like the little brat can't wait to spend two weeks with ore-sama." He said as Ryoma squirmed, trying to stand upright.

"R-ryoma-kun!" exclaimed the Ichinen trio. They quickly grabbed Ryoma off Atobe and helped him sit on the bench outside. Ryoma moaned as he started feeling a very painful headache.

"Oh no! Ryoma-kun has a fever… it's very light, but it'll get worse..." said Kachiro as he felt his forehead. "… Ryoma-kun, why is your hair wet?"

"It's nothing.." Ryoma replied as he put his head in his hands.

"You should always dry your hair. Or else you'll get sick." said Horio in a superior tone. "You should go home for today."

"I said it's nothing." said Ryoma with an irritated voice. Atobe took a seat next to him. Ryoma noticed and got up quickly to get away from him, only to fall down and Atobe catching him in a position which looked something like a hug. "L-let go!" Ryoma said angrily -or was it panic and fear?- which surprised everyone.

"If I let go, you'll fall." said Atobe, getting irritated as Ryoma continued struggling. Momo, who was walking by dropped the box he was carrying and rushed over to him.

"What are you doing with Echizen?!" Momo asked as he pried Ryoma away.

"Your little brat there kept falling, so I just helped him up." replied Atobe as he rubbed his temple. Nothing but misunderstandings and trouble came out of being near Ryoma.

"Well thank you very much, your help is no longer needed now." said Momo with a strange tone of voice with mixtures of annoyance, anger… perhaps even jealousy. Momo dragged Ryoma to the nurses' office, leaving everyone shocked at his behaviour.

The nurses's office was as useless as usual. Recently, the school hired a new nurse and she couldn't even find the washroom which was right next to her for a month! No shocker that they find the office empty. "I'm-O-K, Momo-senpai…" said Ryoma, stressing out each word. "It's just a light headache, nothing big."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally school ended and activities began. By then, Ryoma has got his strength back. "…." Ryoma scanned his eyes across the empty tennis field. Where is everyone..? Momo appeared behind Ryoma at a fair distance. "Buchou called everyone this morning that tennis practice was cancelled for the next two weeks." explained Momo.

"Soka…." replied Ryoma in a quiet voice, not surprised.

"So… you wonna head over to the burger joint?" asked Momo, a bit nervous. "It's still early…"

"I don't feel hungry today…" replied Ryoma, in a quieter voice. Momo was shocked. How is that kohai not hungry?! That defies logic!

"How bout some street tennis?" Momo inched closer to Ryoma, straining to hear what he's saying.

"I'm strangely tired today…" Momo had to put his ear next to Ryoma's mouth to be able to hear him. That was when he felt a hot temperature emitted from him. Momo quickly put his hand on Ryoma's forehead. His golden eyes barely opened.

"MY GAWSH! That's a terrible fever!! We gotta get you home or to the hos-" Momo cut off what he was going to say to catch Ryoma as he started falling forward. What to do what to do… bring him home? Hospital... Home it is! It's closer! Momo carried Ryoma in piggy-back style and he carried both their bags running, leaving his bike. Ugh, why is Echizen's bag so heavy?! No wonder he never grew any taller than the first day he entered Seishun. Chuckled the senpai as he continued running with his kohai on his back.

By the time Momo got Ryoma home, he found a note on the dinner table.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey shounen!! Since today's Friday, Nanako-chan and I went to the hot springs for the next two weeks! Have fun at your new 'partners' house~ Well, see ya in 2 weeks!

Mada Mada Dane,
Nanjiroh

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great, just great! Not only do I not know how to get rid of fevers, I have no idea where the thermometer is… thought Momo, in distress. His mind kept wandering about what to do until he felt a light tug on the bottom of his jeans. He looked down and smiled. "Hiya, Karupin! How are you?"

"Meow meow meow!" Karupin mewed as she walked towards the stairs. When Momo didn't follow, she looked back at him and started mewing again.

"Sorry Karupin, I can't play with you right now. I have to help Ryoma…. –somehow-" said Momo.

"MEOW MEOW MEOW!!"

"Okay okay!" Momo followed Karupin upstairs.
