[COMPLETED]The Prince of Tennis & His Brother

Chapter 6 ~Waking Past~

~Inside The Room~

Normal P.O.V

(Ok so I'm going to fix this. Pretend that everyone has there own room in the mansion cause this will make a lot more sense that way so I can write this)

Everyone was sleeping peacefully in there rooms until a scream and some sounds woke them up. All of them rushed into the hallway and looked at each other. They looked toward the door that the sounds were coming from and they all only thought one thing. 'Echizen/Ryoma/Ochibi!'

Sanada got to the door first and pulled it open. They all rushed into the room to see the bed empty. Tezuka shushed everyone to be quiet. "Echizen were are you?" No answer. "Echizen!" 'Thump. CRASH!' They turned toward the sound. What they saw made there hearts clench..

There in the corner of the room was Ryoma but not the cheeky and cocky kid they all knew. He was currently in a position with his knees curled up in his chest and head in his arms shaking. Fuji got to him first and was asking if he was alright.

"Ryoma are you ok?!" More shaking. "Ryoma!" He flinched. Fuji pulled him into his arms and was rocking him back and forth. He said in a voice, almost a whisper, "Ryoma I need to know if your alright. You don't have to talk just nod your head if you are. Please!" Fuji felt a nod on his chest.

He sighed in relief. By that time the other were seated around them listening to Fuji coax Ryoma. "Fuji is he ok?" Marui asked. (That's how it's spelled right? Lol) Fuji nodded but said "He nodded but he's still shaking and breathing really hard."

"Echizen are you all right?" Yukimura asked the boy. "Yeah" Ryoma replied the sounds muffled by Fuji's shirt. "Do you think you can tell us what's wrong?" Asked Sanada. He's been wanting to know why Ryoma was acting so strange for a while.

After Ryoma calmed down some he turned in Fuji lap to face them. They all didn't like the look on his face. His eyes were brimmed with redness and his cheeks were wet from crying but what got them the most was the look in his eyes. There was so many emotions in them. Hurt, scarred, pain, and the most obvious betrayal.

Ryoma looked at Sanada and said "I guess it's time I told you guys about my past which all leads up to this. Are you sure you want to hear it." His voice was ruff from all the crying. Sanada nodded his head and looked at the others that were there and turned back to Ryoma. "Do you mind telling them to?" He asked Ryoma nodded his head.

"Do you mind if we go down into the living room were we can all sit so I can tell it?" Ryoma asked directly to Atobe. "Sure I'll order some hot cocoa to for everyone while we're down there." Ryoma nodded. They all stood and went down the hall to the living room.

Once they were all seated the maids served them some hot cocoa and that calmed Ryoma down a bit and started to tell his story. " I don't even know were to start." He said. "Just start from were it all began we won't judge you." Surprisingly that was Kirihara who replied.

"Well it started when I was about 4-5 years old and we were living in America at the time. My mom and dad suddenly brought this older kid who was about maybe 8-9 years old and introduced him to me as my brother."

"Was that Ryoga?" Asked Oishi. He nodded. "Yeah he just suddenly popped up out of nowhere and brought himself into the family but he was really great and we had lots of fun together. We used to play tennis a lot with each other and each oranges (yes I totally stole that from the anime XD) together."

"But as time went on I knew he was changing. He kept getting into more and more trouble with groups of kids and was beaten up when he got home. We always bandaged him up but we still treated him the same."

"One day though it was really bad we got a call from the hospital saying he was there and had a broken arm. We rushed over there and that was the worst he looked out of all the fights he got into. My parents went out of the room to talk to the doctor and left me with him."

"He kept saying that it was my fault that he was like that and if I never was in the family in the first place it would never had happened. I kept asking him how was it my fault if he was brought into our home and he just said that he didn't asked to be put in a home with another kid."

"So from there on we never really talked he got out of the hospital and kept avoiding me. But one night was the absolute worst i was out at the public tennis courts packing up and it was getting dark so I stated to head home."

"As I was walking I heard footsteps behind me but didn't think anything of it really I just thought someone else was out on the street but as I tuned each corner the footsteps were still there."

"So I did what any other person thinking someone was following would do. I ran. By that time the footsteps increased into a larger amount and I just ran. But as I was running I got caught in an ally way and they found me."

"I got beaten to a pulp pretty much and had to go to the hospital after someone found me the next day. I still don't know till this day why I was attacked or anything. I just know for some reason Ryoga was behind it and that was pay back for whatever he thinks I did."

"So that's pretty much what happened in my past with him." He looked up and saw some people crying while others had looks of despair in the eyes. "Ryoma do you want to go back to sleep we can talk about this more tomorrow if you want." Asked Fuji. He nodded

"That's fine I'll tell you more tomorrow about some nightmares iv been having." He said as he started to leave. "Wait Ryoma I'll come with you ok? Just to make sure you get to sleep." Fuji said with his smile but his eyes were open and showed concern. Ryoma stared at him.

"Fine it's not like your going to leave me alone if I try to tell you to." He nodded to the rest of the group and headed up stairs with Fuji. " I hope he'll be alright." Said Momo. "Me to Momo." Replied Choutaro as they watched him go up the stairs with Fuji.

~With Ryoma & Fuji~

Normal P.O.V.

They got to Ryoma's room and he got in the bed. Fuji was about to leave when something pulled his sleeve. He looked down to find Ryoma's hand caught on his sleeve. "Can you stay with me until I fall back to sleep." Ryoma asked his voice muffled from the sheets.

Fuji stared in shock them a smile, a real one, came to his face. "Sure." He replied to him. Ryoma slid over in the bed and turned to the other side away from him as he climbed into the bed. As he was thinking about what Ryoma said earlier something hit his chest.

He looked down in surprise to find Ryoma with his arms around him and head buried in his chest. "Thanks for helping earlier." He said. Fuji put his arms around him in response and whisper a your welcome into his ear and said "Get some rest and we'll talk about it tomorrow." As they fell asleep in each others arms...
