Previously…
"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.
Chapter 5:
Ryoma sat on the toilet seat and held his breath. Not trying to make any sound. He didn't want to explain to Kevin about what happened between him and the purpled haired guy so-called the child of God.
"Ryoma?" Kevin constantly called out, but Ryoma decided not to answer. 'Please… PLEASE… just go away…' He thought in his head over and over again, until finally, his wish was fulfilled. Ryoma heard Kevin thrust his body on the door, and after a moment of silence, he heard Kevin's footsteps lead towards the door, and disappeared. He took this as a chance and quickly used his small body as an advantage to crawl under the stall, and he sprinted out the bathroom door and to the stairs which led to the roof.
Not knowing how much commotion he caused, he relaxed and sat on the cement floor of the roof staring at the bright blue sky. Lost in thought, Ryoma didn't notice he had an intruder, who just leaned against the wall and gazed at Ryoma in sadness.
"So… You still come to the roof when you're troubled huh?" Yukimura chuckled pushing himself off the wall and slowly walked towards the stunned boy.
"What… How… Why are you here?!" Ryoma glared at the boy who once broke his heart. Yukimura stared back at his ex-lover and sighed.
"Ryo…" Yukimura now sat in front of Ryoma, who slid back a little. "You know I didn't mean to… right?" The Rikaidai buchou asked pleadingly.
"I tried to ignore it… She was your best friend, I know but, going that far to get me off your back… Not telling me anything about the BITCH… Disapearing suddenly without a word… WHY?!" Ryoma spat out the last word while his eyes filled up with unwanted tears all over again.
"Ryoma…" Yukimura reached out for the crying boy, only to be slapped away. Ryoma rose to his feet and stomped towards the exit, but right before leaving, he swiftly turned his body, childishly stuck his tongue out and stormed down the stairs. Yukimura blinked, and chuckled at how childish his ex could be at times, but saddened immediately with the thought of Ryoma's hatred towards him. 'If only he would listen to me…' He thought to himself as he buried his face into his two hands.
"RYOMA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Kevin, who spotted Ryoma stomping down, the stairs yelled out of frustration getting everyone's attention. Ryoma scrawled and shot a death glare at Kevin.
"Echizen, running out like that, disappearing-"in his head he added 'making us worry like that' and continued to speak "is against the rules. 20 laps around the tennis court, and start now." Tezuka eyed Ryoma as he took his cap off, tossed it at Kevin and began to run.
"His eyes seem redder than before… Ne Kabaji?" Atobe didn't even bother glancing at his teammate, as he too, was interested in the young 'prince' who had just defeated him.
"Usu." came a short reply.
'What the hell could've happened to that brat/Ryoma and Yukimura!' The two captains united in their thoughts and went off coaching once again. However a couple of eyes were on Ryoma and was watching his every movement.
"Saa… What do you think happened to our little baby?" Fuji had a dangerous smile on his face which even Tezuka flinched to.
"Who knows…" Tezuka's eyes averted away from the tensai's eyes.
"I don't think anyone can practice in this condition… Atobe sighed, panning the court, observing the players who looked hesitant to do anything.
"I agree with Atobe-san here…" Yukimura continued to look at Ryoma with sad eyes his strands of purple hair covering a bit of his face.
"Aah…" he faced his fellow players and called out with a loud voice, "Practice is over for today! Go get some rest and come back tomorrow. This matter shall not be mentioned any further than this. DISMISSED!" Being the leader he was, Tezuka eyed everyone getting an official answer.
"Hai!" The others called out while the regulars fell silent.
"Rikaidai, Lets go back." Yukimura looked at Sanada, who gathered the rest of the team. Atobe on the other hand only needed to snap his fingers to get his teammates attention. Oshitari adjusted his glasses once again and the two outside teams left Seigaku.
"Echizen, stop running, didn't you hear? Practice is over." Tezuka said blinking in amazement by his kohai still running.
"Leave me alone, I'm running because I want to." Ryoma growled whipping past the shocked captain.
" Echizen!" Distressed, Tezuka called out once more, but Ryoma just ran, ignoring the orders given to him.
'Dammit!' Ryoma cursed inside his head. 'I promised myself I wouldn't break down like that! I swore I would just forget about it.' He gripped his wrist band on his right hand with his left hand and bit his lips remembering the sharp pain of the blaids.
Meanwhile Atobe was deep in thought which wasn't quite unusual, but this time, something just felt… different. His aura was almost menacing as he stared out the window. 'Hm… That brat was the first one to beat ore-sama other than Tezuka… And he apparently knew that sissy buchou of the Rikaidai tennis team…' Atobe messes with his hair in frustration. His team-mates didn't dare ask what was wrong, knowing that they would have to run more laps if something wrong came out.
The Rikaidai buchou wasn't doing so well either, giving out the aura of sadness. With his jersey lightly placed on his shoulders, he crossed his arms and closed his eyes. 'Ryoma… To think that I'd meet you here… I've missed you…' he desperately wanted to say to him, but didn't feel like he had the right to. It was his fault for leaving his loved one behind, hurt, broken…
