CHAPTER 27

Fuji laid Ryoma on the sofa and went to go get some water for the boy. Walking back over he bent down and told him to take slow sips. The cat sat up and grabbed the cup with a small thank you. He took a small sip. Looking at Fuji he noticed that his eyes where open and he wasn't smiling, but had a small frown on his face, which just added to the worry you could see. "Umm... I still don't have to drink the green stuff again do I?" Syu replied by shaking his head. After that everybody will probably think it's safer to keep the boy away from it at all costs.

His hands where starting to hurt, now that he had calmed down. The cuts where still bleeding. Fuji noticing where the boy was looking got the first aid kit from one of the draws at the desk and started to clean and wrap the wounds. He decided to make conversation with the boy.

"So... Why where you so against it? You could have just done what everyone else did by drinking it quickly and running to get water. You didn't have to smell it and take a sip." The tensai gave him a small smile. The boys golden orbs went faint for a second before answering. Ryoma then held up his hand which was already taken care of and pointed to each finger as if making a list.

"Hearing, smelling, seeing, touching and tasting." Fuji sat himself on the floor with his legs crossed in front of the sofa that the boy was on. Thinking of what the boy meant. His attention went to the cat when he spoke again. "Is Momo okay?"

"Yeah, he'll be fine." The genius went back to thinking, he was still trying to find the answer to the boy's riddle. Noticing the boy still had his weight's on he started to remove them. "These didn't seem to bother you in the least when you where playing you know." Ryoma looked down to what he was talking about.

"I forgot I had those on. I don't think they work properly. I couldn't feel any change." Fuji placed them next to the boy and told him that they'll meet the other in the changing room and he can apologize to Momo then.

Meanwhile in the changing rooms, Momo had stripped and jumped in the shower the first chance he got. Oishi went to get Momo his school uniform from his locker. When he was done he dried off and got changed. He walked into the main part of the room and saw all the regulars in deep thought. Well, except for Tezuka and for some odd reason Sumire who knew what was happening already. What he wanted to know was why Sumire was sitting on a bench in the boys changing rooms. Momo after seeing Ryoma with cat ears and getting a lecture from his captain about how important it was to keep it a secret otherwise, he will be trying all of Inui's drinks on a daily basis. He knew what ever it was, the boy's past wasn't something you could bring up in a normal discussion with him. Eiji was the first to speak.

"NYA... I've had it. Why was O'chibi acting like that?" Sumire then spoke up.

"You should of noticed by now Eiji. The boy doesn't like people knowing his business." She gave the red head a stern look. They where about to carry on when the door opened. Fuji walked in and Ryoma not long after but looked more hesitant. Ryoma went up to Momo and yank his T-shirt so he would lower his head to the boy. Ryoma was about to give him a kiss when Syusuke stopped him.

"Ah, Ryo-Chan, I don't think that's a good idea." The tensai had lifted his hand and placed it on the boy's shoulder. Ryoma looked at him and tilted his head in question. "Because... Umm... " Fuji knew that it really didn't matter if he did. It was kind of sweet after all. But he didn't want the boy to go round kissing everyone. He was still upset the boy hadn't given him one yet, but then again he doesn't exactly want to get hurt in order to get a kiss. In the end he used the first excuse that came to his mind. "Momo's not gay." He smiled afterwards and Ryoma just felt even more confused.

"So I can only apologize like that to the ones that are gay?" He looked at Fuji and he could feel sweat gathering on his forehead. The worst and in a way funny thing that Ryoma said next was so worth it. All he could say was he felt sorry for Tezuka at this point. "But I kissed Kunimitsu when I kicked him in the private area."

"WHAT!" Three of the regulars shouted, but all of them looked at Tezuka with a surprised face. Sumire was covering her mouth to hide the smile she had on her lips. Tezuka had gone to rubbing his temple.

"Yep, he's gay. He never told anyone though. Me and him dated for a bit when we where first years." Fuji had just realized the hole he has dug himself in. Ryoma was about to asked the one question he's always curious about, but Syu thought it was better to answer without the boy saying it. "Ryoma, we did." He opened his eyes slightly telling the boy mentally not to ask out loud. With a nod the boy just patted Momo on the head and then said he was sorry. Sumire knew they where getting off the subject now.

"Right, everyone go home." She thought it was best to say that then have them all go back to talking about what happened. But sadly it didn't work out like she planned.

"Echizen, I was wondering if you could tell me what happened?" Inui spoke up with a pen and notebook in hand. Ryoma looked at him and got angry that the data collector only cared about getting information of others on paper. But it wasn't just him. They all looked even Fuji and Tezuka but they knew not to force the boy. Ryoma felt cornered, slowly he backed away.

"Nya O'chibi, please tell us." Eiji jumped over to the boy and stood in front of him with his face inches from the other. Ryoma was getting annoyed at them. 'Why... Why can't they just leave me alone. I don't want the attention. Please... Stop. Stop staring at me.' He felt himself panicking and his thoughts where getting louder in his head.

"Mind you own business." He managed to mutter out. With that he left the room. He had to get away. Looking at the sky he saw the grey cloud looming over and he could smell that rain was on its way. Deciding he didn't want to go home he was about to go for a walk. He didn't even know where. He hated walking alone, but at this point in time everyone was just making him angry. They all expect him to tell them. The reason he didn't want to go home was that Shan had a knack for knowing when the boy was in a bad mood and he didn't want to tell the other about his last flashback.

"Sam..." The boy whispered. Suddenly he heard voices from behind him. He could tell they where the regulars. Quickly looking around he was just about to start running in a random direction when he felt arms go around his waist and his feet were lifted off the ground.

"Put me down now." He made his voice go stern and his nose was scrunched up. He was snarling at the one who decided to pick him up like a princess.

"Nya... O'chibi be more kind to your rescuer." Stated Eiji as he looked down at the boy. "You know you should look both ways before crossing." He scolded gently. Ryoma just huffed and turned his head. The red-head not liking the reaction he got narrowed his eyes. "NYA! You realize you would of died." The tiger felt himself getting annoyed.

"Like I care if I die or not." Eiji then carried the child back to the school gates where the others where making their way back to when Kawamura had told them he spotted Kikumaru with the boy. Eiji had a frown on his face and wasn't happy. Ryoma now was trying to struggle out of the others grip. Ryoma was about to yell when he felt the red-head put him down. He was about to run off again but a firm hand was placed on his shoulder. Looking up he looked into brown eyes.

"Come on, me and Fuji will walk you home." The cat glared up at Tezuka.

"Oh, and if I don't want to?" He crossed his arms and huffed.

This was how he ended up over Tezuka shoulder being carried home. His legs where being held and he made himself completely limp to try make it so that he seems heavier. Fuji was walking behind so that he could keep an eye on the boy and talk to him. "Saa... I'm surprised your letting him carry you like that and you haven't tried to hurt him yet." Ryoma lifted his head and looked at the tensai.

"Syu, don't give him any ideas." Commented Mitsu.

"I don't want to make Kazu sad." Ryoma spoke up and Syusuke opened his eyes slightly. He was quiet amazed the boy knew how close Mitsu and his grandfather where. Ryoma understood the unasked question and answered. "He use to tell me stories of Kunimitsu growing up." Even Tezuka felt surprised at that. His grandfather never mentioned the boy much until he came to Japan. "Like the one time he was 4 and his mom decided to put him in a blue dress with a matching hat and jewellery. I even saw a photo." Fuji smiled as he heard the sigh leaving Tezuka's lips.

"Ryo-Chan, what else did he tell you?"

"Echizen, don't answer that?" The boy had now settled down and buried his face into the captains back. He would never tell people but he liked being upside down.

They had just turned the last corner to the house when Syu and Mitsu saw a limo outside. Ryoma a couple of blocks back had thought it a best time to sleep. So he didn't have a care in the world when they walked up the stairs towards the house.
