hi everyone, sorry I haven't uploaded for a while. I've been very busy with school lately. I still am, so I won't be uploading very often for a while

Tenma woke up in the dressing room. He had a headache, from the fall probably. He looked around and saw everyone looking at him, concerned.

'What happened?' He asked, looking around.

'You fainted.' Aoi said, while giving him a glass of water.

'O, rigt, I remember.' Tenma said. 'Well if you excuse me, I have to go.' Tenma stood up and immediately felt dizzy. But he didn't fall. He tried to find a way between the soccerplayers but they wouldn't move.

'We need to ask you something.' Shindou said. He grabbed Tenma by his arm.

'No.' Tenma said, afraid of what he was going to ask.

'Yes.' Tsurugi replied.

'Just let me go.' Tenma said, while he tried to get free.

'Will you give us answers then?' Shindou said, he felt really bad, forcing his friend to talk, but they needed to know.

'Fine, just let go!' Tenma said. Shindou let him go.

'Why did you quit soccer?' Shindou asked.

'I…' Tenma said. 'I just don't like it anymore.' It was an obvious lie.

'Has that girl something to do with it?' Aoi asked.

'Maybe.' He said.

'I knew it.' Aoi said happy. 'I knew she was evil.'

'What! No!' Tenma said. 'Akemi is not evil, she's great.'

'Tenma, we know she's with the scary man.' Tsurugi said.

'What scary man?' Tenma asked confused.

'Black hair, black suit, suitcase, scary face.' Shinsuke described.

'You mean mister Davon?' Tenma asked.

'So that's his name.' Sangoku said. Tenma looked as if he had said too much.

'Just tell us what is going on, Tenma. We're your friends.' Nishiki said.

'I know.' Tenma said. 'But it's just better if you don't know anything.

'So everything that you said about friendship, and being there for each other was all a lie.' Kurama said.

'No, it wasn't.' Tenma said, shocked by what Kurama had said.

'Then why don't you let us help you?' Kurama asked.

'Because…' Tenma started, but on that moment the door opened, and Yuuki Akemi walked in.

'So this is where you were?' She said.

'Yuuki, I…' Tenma started, but he didn't know what to say.

'hey!' Shindou said. 'leave him alone!'

Yuuki Akemi looked at him. 'No, you leave him alone and stop trying to "help" him. He doesn't need you, and it would be better for everyone if you just left him alone.' She was angry.

'Come Tenma, we're going.' She said to Tenma. Tenma walked to her.

'Don't go Tenma.' Aoi said. But he ignored her and Yuuki Akemi and Tenma walked out of the room.

'I never would have thought you would go there Tenma, I'm very dissapointed at you.' Akemi said.

'It wasn't on purpose.' Tenma explained. 'They came after me and I passed out. There was nothing I could do.'

'I thought you said you could handle being by yourself for a while.' Akemi raised one eyebrow.

'I didn't think they would follow me!' Tenma defended himself.

'Whatever.' She said. 'Let's just go home.'

Shindou and the others were sitting in the dressing room. All thinking about what just happened.

'Well, it's obvious now, there is something big going on, and Tenma can't or won't tell us about it.' Shindou said.

'And Yuuki Akemi know more about it.' Shinsuke said.

'Yes,' Aoi said. 'And the scary guy does too, mister Davon.'

'Yes,' Shindou said. 'we need to find that guy, ask him some questions.'

'But how do we find him?' Shinsuke asked. 'No one has seen him anymore.'

Everyone thought hard and deep about where he could live.

'Why don't we just google him?' Aoi asked.

There were 3 adresses with an owner named Davon.

'Okay,' Shindou said. 'Let's split up in three groups and visit the adresses tomorrow.'

The next day, Tenma didn't come to school. Everyone was worried sick about him.

'Do you think he's not here because of yesterday?' Aoi asked to Shinsuke during history class.

'The teachers say he is sick.' Shinsuke answered. 'But I wouldn't be suprised if that girl is keeping him home.'

'He did look pale yesterday, and he passed out.' Aoi said.

'If his still not at school tomorrow, we'll go visit him.' Shinsuke decided.

Aoi nodded.

That afternoon everyone went to one of the adresses, but none of them was the adress of this mister Davon. Everyone felt depressed after the search.

Tsurugi closed the door with a bang.

'I can't believe we've found nothing.' He yelled. 'Why doesn't Tenma just trust us and tell us what's going on?!' He threw one of the chairs on the ground.

'Tsurugi, calm down!' Shindou said. He pushed Tsurugi on an empty chair.

Tsurugi put his face in his hands. 'I just feel so useless.' He said to his hands.

'Me too.' Shinsuke said.

'I feel like were the worst friends ever.' Sangoku said.

Everyone was heavily depressed. Shindou wished Tenma was here, not only because he was his best friend, but Tenma would know how to chear everyone up.

'Guys…' He started but he stopped. He didn't know what to say.

'Everyone,' Aoi took over. 'I know how you feel. I'm depressed about everything too. But we can't give up. If we'd give up, without helping Tenma, that would make us the worst friends ever. If we quit now, I would never be able to live with myself anymore. And like Tenma said: I don't want to regret anything.'

It wasn't a very good speach, but it worked. Everyone was looking determined again.

The next day, Tenma still didn't show up. Aoi and Shinsuke decided to visit Tenma after school.

'But what if that girl doesn't let us in.' Shinsuke asked.

'We won't let her stop us. We need to know if Tenma is alright.' Aoi said ferm.

When they knocked at Tenma's door. Yuuki Akemi opened.

'What?' She asked, as nice as ever.

'We want to know if Tenma is alright.' Aoi said.

'He's alright.' Yuuki Akemi said.

'That's not enough.' Shinsuke said. 'We want to see him.'

'Well you can't.' Yuuki Akemi said.

'We won't leave untill we have seen him.' Aoi said.

'Well, you'll be standing here for a long time then.' Yuuki Akemi said.

Aoi only stared at her.

'Look,' Yuuki Akemi said. 'Just go home, I know you're concerned, but please just stay out of it.'

Aoi saw now how horrible she looked. It was dark under her eyes and she looked like she was going to faint.

'Are you alright?' Aoi asked. 'You look pale.'

'It's nothing of your concern.' Yuuki Akemi said.

'but…'

Yuuki Akemi closed the door. Aoi and Shinsuke stayed for a while, but nobody opened anymore. After an hour they left. Aoi regretted she let Yuuki Akemi stop her, despite of what she said earlier.
