Hey everyone! For Fuji's first name I am going to use Syuusuke instead of Shusuke, just because I prefer the former version. I have seen it both ways though, so don't get mad at me for 'not using Fuji's real name'. I also apologize for any OOCness! Thank you! P.S. The letter after 'z' on my keyboard is busted, so I can't use a few Japanese words that I would have liked to. I am also using spell check to get that letter into my words.
Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis.
Chapter 1
Syuusuke PoV
I woke up to the sunlight that was slowly filling my room. I yawned, got up, and took care of my cacti, silently listening to the birds singing to each other from the top of the trees. "Saa… What a beautiful morning." I said to myself, and got dressed. I went downstairs and into the kitchen, making myself some grilled salmon and onigiri for breakfast. After I finished eating, I headed to the door, then realized I forgot something.
"Oh, Yumiko-neechan!"
I went back upstairs and knocked on her bedroom door. "Ohayou Yumiko-neechan! Ittekimasu! I said through the door. I went back downstairs, grabbed my bag, and put on my shoes, opening the door. I took a deep breath through my nose, enjoying the scent of a morning after rain. I took two steps from my house when I realized that someone was lying on the ground, a few feet in front of me. I rushed over, not quite sure why I was worried. I stopped by the person, and my eyes shot open in shock.
It was a boy, with midnight blue hair, fair, olive skin, and bruises and scratches on almost every visible surface. But one of the most shocking things to me was he was soaked. Soaked, and not to mention in rags. Before I had even thought about it my mind was made. No matter who this boy was, or is, I was going to take care of him from now on, until he can live on his own. I gently picked him up, turned around, and went back inside to dry him off and call Tezuka and Eiji to tell them I wouldn't be going to school today.
Boy's PoV
When I started to stir, I realized I was warm. It wasn't sunshine warm, though. I was immediately awake, and as I shot up into a sitting position, my hand went to find the necklace I was wearing, and I breathed a sigh of relief. My eyes were closed, and I didn't dare open them, afraid of what I might see. I froze as I sensed another presence near me, and then I was being pushed onto my back, lying down again.
Something cool was placed on my forehead, as a feminine voice said, "I'm glad to see that you are awake. Watashi wa Fuji Syuusuke, but you can call me Fuji-kun. Yoroshiku." Instead of regarding what he said I tried to ask, "Where am I? Am I back at the White Hell?"
I was worried one of the people wearing white lab coats had caught me, and that they were playing nice. He looked at me funny, and I realized I could understand the tongue of humans, but he couldn't understand mine. I looked down then, frustrated. "Do you want to know where you are?" He asked me gently. I hesitantly nodded. "You are in my house. I brought you in when I found you unconscious and soaked in front of the walkway. What's your name?" He asked. I glared at him slightly through my slitted eyes that looked closed to others. I glanced around, and pointed at his black shirt. Suddenly, dizziness hit me and I was lost to darkness.
Syuusuke PoV
When he pointed towards my shirt with a shaking finger, I realized he had sat up again, and a dizzy wave hit him and he passed out. I shook my head, replaced the washcloth, and whispered in a more gentle voice than I had ever used before, "This is your new home, Kuro." And with those words, I turned back towards the kitchen to find something to pass the time.
The official first chapter of this story! Woot! Also reviews are always welcome! I like to know what people think about my stories, and how I can change them for the better! I can't do anything about it if you don't tell me what's wrong. Thanks!
