A/N: WARNING!! BADLY WRITTEN CHAPTER AHEAD!! XD;; but otherwise, enjoy =]

Previously:

"Seii… I finally found you" Ryoma smiled and tears flowed down his cheeks. At this moment, the two could only see each other, hear each other, their audience forgotten.


Chapter 4


"Ryoma?" Kevin was alarmed at the sight the all-so-arrogant-boy crying, and started to scramble, not knowing what to do. Fuji's blue orbs revealed once again, stared intensely at the scene, Tezuka's eyes showed no emotion, however on the inside, he felt like grabbing his young kohai and hugging him, Eiji's eyes widened, and Atobe just gawked into space like a moron.

"Seii… so this is where you've been?" Ryoma bit his lips trying to control the tears that were now flooding his face. Yukimura only stared at Ryoma, pain clearly shown in his eyes. "You JERK…" Ryoma hissed and ran as fast as he could to a nearby bathroom. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yukimura anticipating on what would happen next.

"Everyone that was just staring into space run 40 laps." Tezuka cleared his throat and tried to keep his teammates mind off of this… unexpected reunion.

"EHHHH?!?!" a chorus of complaints were heard.

"Make that 50" Tezuka inwardly smirked. The tennis club members shut their mouths and started running.

"Ore-sama wants you all to run to." Atobe pointed at his teammates who stared in disbelief.

"WHAT?!" They said in unison.

"Run now, or run more later. You chose." Atobe grinned in satisfaction to see his teammates joining the Seigaku team.

"Um… You guys run to." Yukimura announced his voice trembling slightly. Unlike the others, the Rikaidai members just nodded and started to pace themselves.

"What the hell was that? Ore-sama demands to know." Atobe stared at Yukimura and raised an eyebrow, not satisfied with the way the captain of the number one tennis team acted.

"It's…" Yukimura hesitated for a while. "It's nothing to be worried about. It will never happen again." His usual smile spread across his face. Atobe and Tezuka exchanged glances and looked at the Rikaidai buchou once again unconvinced.

"Yukimura… If you tell us what was wrong, maybe we can help?" Tezuka offered, then added in his head, 'so you don't make Ryoma cry and so I can comfort him…'

"It's really fine… Could I just please go talk to Ryo for a sec?" the sides of his mouth pulled down slightly.

"Um… I think It'd be best to leave him alone for now…" Tezuka shifted uncomfortably not acting like his usual self.

"ahn… Ore-sama agree's with him." Atobe coughed.

"Oh… Ok then." Yukimura mumbled, and turned around to observe the runners running their 10th lap.

-Meanwhile in the bathroom-

"Ryoma what the hell is wrong with you?!" Kevin growled in frustration pacing in front of the stall Ryoma was in.

Sniffing Ryoma replied, "It's… *sniff* nothing…" and broke down into silent sobs again. Kevin banged his head on the walls to ease the pain that his heart was causing him.

"Ryoma… is it something that you can't tell? Even me?" Kevin almost begged.

"I'm sorry Kev…" Just then, someone entered the bathroom. Kevin glared at the person, who winced and slowly backed away not wanting to anger this boy.

"Ryoma, at least let me in the stall?" Kevin pleaded.

-Silence-

"Ryoma?"

-Silence-

"hey… This is really not funny…" Kevin's voice started to waver slightly.

"…"

"OI! RYOMA!" Kevin threw his body against the door but nothing happened. "OI! RYOMA!!" He banged against the bathroom stall as hard as he could but still nothing happened. He bit his lips knowing that the next thing he was going to do was something he was going to regret. Kevin sprinted towards the tennis courts.

"Buchou! Ryoma… He's…" Tezuka's eyes widened, and the second he was about to dash off towards the bathroom, someone beat him to it.

"Ryoma!" The purple haired buchou sprinted. Atobe and Tezuka blinked twice, stared at each other for a split second and dashed after him. When they reached the bathroom, all the stalls except for one were opened. Without thinking the tree captains went for the closed stall and banged it frantically.

"Ryoma! Answer me!" The three captains wailed in unison. Kevin however was at the entrance to the bathroom and was clutching his heart. He was in so much pain… The fact that he couldn't do anything to help was just too painful for the blonde to handle.

"It's no good; I'll just break it open." Yukimura mumbled and threw himself to the stall just like Kevin did earlier. But this time however, the door opened and the moment the three frantically searched for him, he was gone. He just went… missing.
