Black Tennis

Summary: After Ciel had been turned into a demon, it granted him more freedom to travel the world, which was exactly what he did, with Sebastian posing as his father/guardian (note the similarities he has with Ciel's father). Eventually, he ended up in the United States after being introduced to tennis; Ciel spent a few decades there perfecting his skills at the new sport. Now, he's headed for the last place he has never visited yet, Japan.

A/N: Sorry for the delay, the site wouldn't let me publish this story. I'm going to post one chapter and write the second one. If I get at least 10 reviews about continuing this fic, I will continue it. This one will follow the Prince of Tennis episodes, pretty obvious though. The Phantomhive name in this story has also been forgotten in history and Sebastian has taken the use of the Phantomhive name so he can act as Ciel's dad. Sebastian will probably not play a major role in this story unless I find somewhere I can add him in. So, here's the story.

Chapter 1: Japan, the first couple weeks

Two people walked into the baggage claim area, a man with black hair and a bandage on his left hand sporting a smile and a boy with ashen hair and an eye patch, sporting a frown. The ashen haired one had a tennis bag slung over his shoulder. The one with black hair pushed a baggage cart towards the claiming area. These two people were no other than Sebastian and Ciel Phantomhive. The pair worked their way through the crowds, and looked around for their suitcases. It didn't take long at all, considering they had very good eyesight. Once they had all their suitcases loaded up, they were about to head towards the exit when a brown and cream colored fur ball caught Sebastian's eye.

Sebastian slowly approached the cat. Ciel, not noticing that Sebastian had stopped walking behind him finally turned around when he heard a familiar voice say, "So soft…" Ciel looked over at Sebastian and saw him petting a spotted Himalayan cat that was lying on a chair.

"That cat-obsessed bastard…" Ciel muttered under his breath. He watched as a green-tinted black hair boy, no older or taller than himself approach Sebastian from behind, 'well, this might be interesting…' He didn't bother to go closer, he could hear quite fine from where he was, which was quite far. Sebastian turned around when he sensed a presence behind him. He noticed a boy who looked quite like his young master approach. The boy, however, paid no notice that Sebastian was blocking his way to the cat. He walked right around Sebastian and picked up the cat and carried it away. The cat meowed in protest. Once the boy mixed into the crowd, Sebastian said to himself, "How rude…" And he made his way back to Ciel.

Ciel, on the other hand, smirked and waited for Sebastian to work his way through the crowd so they could go get a taxi together to get to the new house. According to what Sebastian said, it was an average sized house and was recently built. Once Sebastian reached him, all signs off a previous smirk were gone and they made their way to the doors and hailed a taxi.

They loaded up their baggage and Sebastian told the driver the address to bring them to. They sat in silence for a while before Sebastian broke it by saying, "I have enrolled you to Seishun Gakuen or Seigaku for short."

"Hmmm…" Ciel replied obviously uninterested, staring out a window while watching the scenery pass by him.

"I'm sure that, with your experience, you will be able to help their tennis team reach the Nationals," Sebastian attempted again. When he saw that Ciel wasn't going to make it easy for him, he sighed and gave up, leaning back into the seat.

Approximately half an hour later, they reached their new house. They unloaded the baggage and the taxi drove off. While Sebastian carried in the suitcases, Ciel stood outside. He noticed that across the street, another family was moving in, a family of three. There was a man with brown hair and dressed in monk robes, a woman, also with brown hair, dressed casually and a boy, who seemed vaguely familiar. They were greeted by a young blue haired teen and he watched as she helped them with their suitcases. Finally, it dawned on Ciel that the boy was the same one that Sebastian had met in the airport. This might just be a good break before school starts.

There came a knock at the door. Sebastian looked up from where he was just about done unpacking. "Go answer it Sebastian," Ciel said from the room next to his.

Sebastian stood up from where he was crouching and walked downstairs to answer the door. The person who greeted him was a woman who looked to be around her early 40s. "Hi, I'm your neighbor from across the street. I'm Rinko Echizen and I want to invite you over to our house to have dinner with us, seeing that you have also just moved in."

"I'm Sebastian Phantomhive and we'd love to go over and have dinner together."

"We?"

"Oh, yes, my son Ciel is upstairs unpacking."

"I see, well you and your son are welcome to come over at around…7:30? Is that okay with you?"

"Yes, it's perfect. We'll, see you then!" Sebastian concluded and before Rinko could turn around and leave, he added, "We know how to speak Japanese."

After a few more words that were exchanged, Rinko left and Sebastian closed the door behind her. Sebastian made his way back upstairs and went into the room Ciel was in. "I'm assuming you heard all that, am I correct?"

The only reply Sebastian received was a wave of the hand, indicating him to take his leave and continue unpacking.

At 7:30 sharp, Ciel and Sebastian, who had finished unpacking long ago, made their way across the street to the Echizen residence. Sebastian knocked on the door and a few seconds and a little bit of shouting later, it was opened by the blue haired girl from earlier that day. "I'm Nanako, please come in."

Sebastian smile and walked in with Ciel behind him. They took of their shoes right when a brown haired man in robes walked into the room. "This is my uncle, Nanjiro," Nanako introduced.

"You know, you look quite a lot like my son," Nanjiro said. "Minus the hair and eyes," he added as an afterthought. Ciel, as always ignored the one speaking to him.

"Do you mind showing me to the kitchen?" Sebastian asked.

"No problem, right this way," Nanako said, leading him to the kitchen where Rinko was cooking dinner.

Ciel looked up the staircase, knowing that the boy he had seen before must be up there. Before he could ask the question though, Nanjiro yelled up the stairs, "Hey! Ryoma! We have guests over! Be polite and come down and introduce yourself!"

Ryoma heard his dad yell from downstairs. Something about introducing himself to some guests. 'Wonder who it could be, I mean, we just moved in,' Ryoma thought as he descended down the stairs. Once he was down the stairs, he took in the appearance of the stranger. He was a boy, no older or taller than himself. For all he knew they could've been twins if the stranger didn't have cerulean eyes and ashen hair. The boy had an eye patch on his right eye, which Ryoma found peculiar. 'What had happened to that eye that is bad enough to have to be hidden?' he thought to himself. He was interrupted from his thoughts when the boy thrust out a hand and said, "Ciel Phantomhive."

Ryoma wasted no time in recovering from his thoughts and coming back to reality before saying, "Ryoma Echizen." There was a short silence before Nanjiro broke it by saying, "Well, now that introductions are over, I'm going back out to read my book."

"You mean your pervert magazine," Ryoma revised.

"W-what do you mean?" Nanjiro asked before he fled the room.

"Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen," Ryoma said as he lead Ciel to the kitchen. Ryoma went into kitchen and did not seem to be bothered by the fact that the man he saw at the airport was standing right in his kitchen cooking with his mother. Ciel frowned even further at this when he saw that Ryoma seemed unfazed that someone he met completely randomly at the airport had shown up at his house. 'Peculiar kid…' Ciel thought. (A/N: Remember that Ryoma is very forgetful?) Ryoma walked over to the table and sat down. He noticed that Ciel had stopped in the doorway and he raised an eyebrow. Ciel, finally noticing that he had paused where he had been walking, made his way over to the table and sat down next to Ryoma. Although he was a demon and couldn't taste human food, it didn't mean he couldn't eat and digest it.

Moments later, dinner was ready and everyone sat down to get ready to eat. After formal introductions were conducted, and everyone knew who each other was, they finally dug in. Conversations popped up here and there but none of them lasted very long. A few moments later however, Ryoma's eyes widened and he looked towards Sebastian.

"Is there something wrong?" Sebastian asked Ryoma.

After a few moments of silence Ryoma said, "Y-y-your that man from the airport!"

Nanjiro, Rinko and Nanako looked at Ryoma with a confused expression evident on their faces. "What do you mean Ryoma?"

Ryoma took in a breath of air before explaining what happened at the air port when he was looking for Karupin. They all took some time to absorb in the new load of information before Nanjiro burst out laughing about how slow his son was; which also indicated that this happened a lot. 'Wow, this kid's slow…' Ciel thought.

Besides that, it was revealed to everyone that Ryoma and Ciel would both be attending Seigaku when Nanako had asked which school Ciel would be going to.

Other than the unexpected outburst from Ryoma, dinner went by smoothly and before they knew it, it was time for dessert. Sebastian excused himself to go into the kitchen to bring out the cake. When he came out, he was holding an elegant and mouthwatering red velvet cake. Sebastian and Ciel smirked at the family's awed faces and Sebastian returned to the kitchen to retrieve a knife to cut the cake. When he returned he walked over to the cake and he cut the cake into 8 pieces. Sebastian gave each person a slice of cake before serving himself one. Nanako took a bite out of her slice before exclaiming, "It's delicious!" Those who had already taken a bite out of their own slices nodded agreements. "How did you make it?"

Sebastian kept on smirking and asked, "Would you like the recipe?"

Over the next few weeks before both Ciel and Ryoma were going to start school at Seigaku, Both Ryoma's parents and Sebastian kept on pushing the two boys together. Sebastian reason was, "You might as well get to know someone from your school, and he knows how to play tennis." Ryoma's parent's reason was technically the same thing. But both Ciel and Ryoma could tell it was because Sebastian wanted to spend more time with Karupin at Ryoma's house and Ryoma's parents wanted to talk about random things to Sebastian. Ryoma had told Ciel about his tournament in a few weeks so Ciel had helped Ryoma practice over the next few days. Nanjiro and Sebastian had watched their first game against each other and one could say that they were mildly surprised that their game came to a draw. Although for Sebastian, he knew Ciel was holding back on his demonic enhancements, though he was still a bit surprised that someone was up to par with Ciel. Before they knew it, 2 weeks had passed by and the two friends were on the train, headed for Ryoma's tournament.

And that is the first chapter. Remember to review and tell me what you think if you want to read more!
