Chapter 3

She Came Back to Me

The sunshine through the windows stirred golden eyes to open. The golden eyes looked around the room, his mind finally awake, noticed the unfamiliarity of the room. Sitting up quickly, Ryoma slightly panicked and began wondering where he was. Ryoma got up from the bed and began towards the door. Before he could turn the knob, the knob began to turn itself making the door open and revealing another person.

"RYO-KUN! WAKE U-" Ryoma covered the other person's mouth. He looked into the person's big hazel eyes and finally remembered why he was here.

"Ki-chan, you're too loud, you're going to make my ears bleed…" Ryoma smirked at the girl who was slightly glaring at him.

"Well, I'm sorry, I was just trying to wake you up." The girl huffed as she turned around to walk away until a pair of arms circled around her waist.

"Hn, hey Ki-chan, let's catch up, I haven't seen you in forever." Ryoma purred into her ear causing a slight flush to Kimi's face. Before Ryoma could say anything else, Ryoga decided to come and interrupt them.

"Hey you two lovebirds, you guys are not alone in this house. Chibisuke, go get ready already, oh, and make sure you show Kimi around Seigaku." Ryoga smirked at his little brother glaring and waved his hand as he walked away from the two.

Ryoma headed back into his own room and put on his school uniform. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded to himself. He grabbed his tennis bag and headed out of his room and into the living room to wait for Kimi. Five minutes have passed and now Ryoma was mumbling to himself about how long Kimi was going to take with her clothes. She did not have any time to get her uniform yet, resulting in for her to choose an outfit for her first day of class.

After about fifteen minutes, Kimi finally emerged from her room showing Ryoma her outfit. She was wearing a black tank with a faded, light blue, jean sleeveless jacket with silver studs going across the shoulders, dark blue jean shorts, and red high-top converse. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, revealing her silver cross earrings. On her left ear, the cross earring was about two inches big, while one her right ear the cross earring was small, and is dangling from a small chain. What surprised Ryoma was the mini star tattoos behind her left ear. He decided to ask her about it later and continued to look over her once more.

"Ryo?" Her voice brought him out of his thoughts and began to blush at his thoughts. He waved his hand and told her he was fine and walked to the door with Kimi walking happily behind him.

When they finally reached the school, Kimi was looking around excited about her new school. Ryoma laughed inwardly at the girl's goofy expression.

"Ki-chan, there's morning practice for the tennis club." Ryoma said bluntly.

"Huh? Oh! I'd rather not get lost, so I'll come along. Plus, I would love to meet your team again!" Kimi, being used to Ryoma's bluntness, she replied with a smile. Ryoma nodded and started walking towards the clubhouse before going to the tennis courts.

After Ryoma getting changed into his tennis outfit, they reached the courts only to be greeted by Kikumaru's loud voice.

"Ochibi! Ki-chan!" The red head yelled and glomped the both of them.

"Kikumaru-senpai, get off." Ryoma said struggling to get out of the red head's hold. Kikumaru finally let go of Ryoma, but Kimi still remained in his arms.

"I'm Kikumaru Eiji! But you can call me Eiji!" Kikumaru said looking excitedly into Kimi's eyes earning a smile from the girl.

"KAWAII!" Kikumaru's hold on her began to tighten as he swung her around in circles.

"Um, could you put me down now?" Kimi muttered as her head began to spin. She tried walking when Kikumaru put her down, but her head was still spinning making her lose her balance and bumped into someone.

"Oi, Senpai, I think you overdid it, you did. I'm Momoshiro Takeshi, but you can call me Momo-chan!" Momo held her by her shoulders to help her steady her balance. Finally everything was staying in one place rather than spinning around as she looked at Momoshiro.

"Ah, thank you, Momo-chan?" She smiled.

"Fsh. What are you? A girl? Peach-head?" Another guy with a bandana glared at Momoshiro as he glared back at the guy.

"What did you say Viper?" Momoshiro shook his fist at the bandana guy as they began to argue.

Kimi walked to the bandana guy, who was growling at Momoshiro. She tapped his shoulder and he turned to her with a fierce glare, which went unaffected by her.

"What?" He growled, still slightly riled up by Momoshiro

"Your glare doesn't really affect me, I don't understand why you guys fight, you seem friendly enough." Her answer surprised him.

"Kaidoh Kaoru. Fsh. She's a good girl Echizen." Kaidoh calmly said and patted her head. Everyone was slightly in shock to see Kaidoh calm down so fast.

"Ie Data." A deep voice said. Kimi turned around to find a guy with glasses writing in his notebook.

"Inui Sadaharu." He said calmly without looking up from his notebook.

"What's in your notebook?" She asked curiously.

"Tennis/personal data." Inui said.

"Oh, well-" Kimi was interrupted by the data man.

"Echizen's fiancée, I do not have much data on you, nothing really came up about you." He said making Kimi raise her brow at him.

"Um, you tried looking up things about me?" Her question went unanswered as a laugh came up behind her.

"That's Inui for you, hello, I'm Fuji Syuusuke." The brunette took both of her hands and smiled at her.

Kimi looked over Fuji. Overall, he was good looking. He reminded her of a prince. Though, his closed eyes and smile sort of made her a little suspicious.

"Fuji-senpai, stop creeping her out." Ryoma growled at Fuji hands around Kimi's.

"Oi, oi, let's not get too angry Echizen. Nice to meet you, I'm Kawamura Takeshi." Another guy laughed nervously at Ryoma's glare at Fuji, who seemed oblivious.

"Please let's not start a fight." Another guy came up to them and began slightly panicking about someone getting hurt.

"Don't worry Oishi, no one will be fighting." Fuji laughed as Oishi began calming down. He looked to Kimi and pulled out his hand to her.

"Oishi Syuichiro, vice-captain, nice to meet you." Kimi took the hand and smiled to him.

"Eh? Vice-captain? Then who is the captain?" Kimi asked. Oishi smiled at her curiosity and pointed to the gates of the courts. She looked over and saw a tall, bespectacled, guy with chestnut colored hair. His mere presence showed everyone who was their captain. In a second, she gasped, making everyone look at her as she ran to Seigaku's stoic tennis captain. She hugged the captain around his waist making everyone shocked. Tezuka looked down and realizing who she was, kneeled down to her making it more easier to look at her.

"Kimi, what are you doing here in Japan?" He noticed small tears beginning to show and wiped them away for her with his thumb.

"Sorry, but Tezuka, what's going on? Do you know Ki-chan?" Oishi asked finally breaking from his shock.

"I should be the one apologizing, I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Tezuka Kimi, Tezuka Kunimitsu's cousin!" She bowed. Everyone's eyes widened, including Ryoma's.

"Echizen, why are you surprised? Isn't she your fiancée?" Inui asked.

"Che. Her last name slipped my mind." Ryoma huffed.

"Fiancée?" Tezuka looked at his younger cousin and to Seigaku's freshman.

"What is the meaning of this Echizen? Are you really Kimi's fiancé?" Tezuka raised a brow at Seigaku's pillar.

"Yea Buchou, is there a problem?" Ryoma smirked at his captain who looked like he was about to burst, but was stopped by Kimi's hand.

"I'm sorry Mitsu that I didn't tell you. I didn't even know you were still in Japan." Kimi pouted at the captain.

"You could have called. You never kept in touch with me. I've always been here at Japan." Tezuka put his hand on her shoulder.

"Heh, I would've loved to call, but I didn't know your number. Ever since…" Kimi looked to the ground avoiding her cousin's eyes.

"Kimi, ever since what?" Tezuka pulled her chin gently to make her look into his own eyes.

"Heh, ever since I was disowned by my parents. I'm just thankful I had Aki-kun to help me find a place to temporarily stay for a while. Ryoma's brother, Ryoga, found me in the streets while I was coming from the grocery store. He helped with my groceries, and told me about Ryoma. I asked him if I could come along with him to Japan and that's how I got here." She smiled at the memory.

"Why did Miki-sama and Luca-sama disown you?" Tezuka was petting her hair now.

"It was mostly father who was most mad. Mother was mad, but not as mad as father was. When I told them about Aki-kun who discovered me and I had a chance at my dream, they just gave me a disgusted look, well, father did. They wanted me to focus on being a doctor or anything in the medical field. I tried telling them I can try my best to do both, but they just laughed at my face. Father gave me two choices, stay and focus on medicine or leave and go for my pathetic dream. Leaving was best for me, plus, how else can I fulfill my promise to Ryoma?" She smiled at Ryoma.

"Where do you live now? You could come live with me?" Tezuka asked.

"I'm fine Mitsu, I'm living in an apartment with Ryoga and Ryoma. Ryoga and I help with paying off rent, so you don't have to worry." She reassured her cousin. Tezuka blinked and then turned to Ryoma with a glare.

"You're living with two guys…?" Tezuka's glare intensified with each word he said. Kimi sweat dropped at the usually stoic captain.

"Ne Ki-chan, who's 'Aki-kun'? " Momoshiro interrupted. The name emitted a small growl from Ryoma.

"Oh! Aki-kun, Kuroyomi Akihiko, is my manager." Her answer brought confused looks upon the regulars.

"Nya? Why would Ki-chan need a manager?" Kikumaru asked.

"You guys might be wondering why I look so familiar. My stage name is Shiraitsuki." She laughed at their shocked expression.

"So that's why you look familiar!" Kikumaru said recovering from shock first. The red head had a pen and paper in his hand ready for a surprised Kimi. She signed the paper for him and reluctantly agreed to take pictures with the red head.

"I see you've fulfilled your promise." Ryoma smirked at Kimi.

"Of course Ryo, how else can I show my face to you?" Kimi smirked back at her fiancé and hugged him.

A/N: Sorry that this chapter took a while. I was in vacation at Schlitterbahn for a while and never got the chance to start. Man, this chapter took a while writing. Yes, I did change it up a bit. It seems pretty long compared to the others… Oh well. Review if you'd like to. I hope you enjoyed, if not, then you don't have to read it. I'll try to update more.
