It hurt so much; the pain was slowly filling him up until he couldn't remember feeling anything else but pain. His lovers were forgetting about him and it had been happening for a while now. Six months ago an argument had broken out between Fuji and Yukimura. Fuji had wanted to go on a Caribbean cruise for their anniversary, but Yukimura had wanted to spend a week in Italy so that he could also see a new art exhibit that had recently became all the rage in the artistic circles.

"You are being selfish Seiichi!" snapped Fuji.

"As are you Syuusuke, If we are going somewhere for our anniversary than it should be somewhere we will all enjoy. Both Gen-Chan and Mitsu-Chan will enjoy the historic and athletic side of Italy and Keigo will enjoy the extravagance that is Rome, while the art exhibit will make me happy." Yukimura replied back bitingly. No one noticed that he left Ryoma out except of course Ryoma himself.

Ryoma couldn't help but feel the sting that had caused. They were leaving him out again and what hurt the most was they didn't even notice it. It almost seemed natural to them. While it was true that he was still only eighteen and they were three years older and all in college making their way in the adult world, it however did not mean that he couldn't be understanding. He knew they were slowly pushing him out of their lives. His lovers had classes and certain responsibilities to their families and truthfully that took up quite a bit of time but when they had free time they would pair up and go on dates. Sanada and Atobe would go dancing, Tezuka and Fuji would go to see a movie considering they both like foreign films, or Fuji and Yukimura would team up and cause mayhem their ideal of fun. Only Ryoma was left out and it took a while but he had finally got it. What he was to them. He wasn't a lover or even really someone special in their eyes. To them he was just a toy. Something to take off the shelf and play with but when it got hurt or became boring then back on the shelf it would go. Ryoma's love for each of them kept him blind and kept him holding on.

The fight between Yukimura and Fuji became more heated. Both were stubborn and wanted to get their own way. When the argument became even more heated Ryoma stepped in to try and calm the two feuding sadists. That had been a mistake as far as Ryoma was concerned because what happened next had crushed his already bleeding heart.

"Stay out of this! It has nothing to do with you!" Yukimura sneered, even though it was his anniversary to.

"You're nothing but a toy for us to play with. So leave you're becoming annoying." snapped Fuji. A stunned silence had settled around the six people in the room but it had only lasted for a few seconds before Fuji still seething turned away and headed for his special photography room Atobe had designed for him when they had all moved in with each other. Sanada, Atobe and Tezuka traded wary glances before Atobe and Tezuka followed Fuji and Sanada gently grasped Yukimura's wrist before pulling him in the direction of their room to try and calm the blue hair sadist. None of them noticed that Ryoma was still there and with tears rolling down his shocked face. He stood there for an hour but not one of them came back and he cried his tears alone and forgotten.

Two days later Atobe came to him and had the servants move his things into a room at the back of the house. It was small compared to the one that he had shared with his lovers but it had a small study and sitting area and a private garden that could only be accessed by the French doors inside his bedroom. All in all it was a lovely room but it was out of the way of the main house. When asked why he was being moved all Atobe replied was that it was to give Fuji and Yukimura some time to calm down, but Atobe avoided looking into his eyes. Ryoma knew he was lying. It was like he was being punished but he had no ideal what he did to deserve this.

A few weeks later Yukimura and Fuji were all smiles and all was right in their world but still he wasn't moved back into the fold in fact it had gotten to where he had to even eat his dinners alone in his study. Everything it seemed had finally come to end between Ryoma and his lovers. Now six months after that fateful day and just one week after his forgotten birthday where even Christmas for him had been forgotten, Ryoma was finally leaving. Ryoma had gotten a call the day before from Kevin Smith. Apparently he was invited to play in a tournament that would lead to sponsors and then onto a grand slam tour if he won. The offer was really tempting especially with the way his supposed relationship was going he just really wanted to get away. However his heart was still clinging to them, his lovers, but fate has a way of being a bitch. After he got Kevin's call Atobe's butler Hikari came to inform him that the young masters were going on a small vacation and would be gone for a week.

"Did they ask you to come and tell me this Hikari?" Ryoma asked in a small voice.

"No Young master but I thought that you should know." The small butler answered.

"Ah…."

"When do they leave Hikari?"

"They have already left young master."

Ryoma couldn't stop the hurt and disappointment that had caused him and just as that had broken the final thread that kept him from leaving another part of him had risen to the forefront. A stronger part of him that he thought had left him. His determination was blazing and his anger at the Idiots who had made him into a biddable little toy was stirring and swirling inside of him like a fiery whirlpool. Ryoma at that moment had given into his emotions and had become a maelstrom.

Ryoma looked up and asked Hikari to bring all the servants to gather in the main sitting room of the mansion. He had to put his once tentative plans into actions. Once all of the servants were gather Ryoma began.

"All of you are gathered here because this is going to be the last night I spend in this house. You all have eyes and ears so I know that all of you know that I haven't exactly been a part of the relationship that your young masters share for quite some time now. I had hope that things would get better but I see now that it never will. So as this is my last night I would like for all you to do me one last favor." Ryoma asked

"What is this favor young master?" one servant called out.

"I would like for all of you to go through the entire mansion and remove anything that would remind my former lovers of me. Anything that is mine or that I had given to them please take back to my room. Also I would like you to replace any pictures that have me in it or are just of me with pictures of your young masters."

"Also both Fuji and Yukimura have some things that are mine by right so if you would please help me in this endeavor I would be grateful." Ryoma said with a bit of heat.

"What do Young masters Fuji and Yukimura have of yours Young master Ryoma?" asked Hikari in a curious voice, wondering what had the sad young man in front him angry.

"Well Yukimura has paintings of me that he had done without asking me as well as multiple drawings. Fuji-san has many pictures of me also but I think that I will get them myself if you could tell me where he keeps his safe." said Ryoma. He was angry the most at Yukimura and Fuji so this was kind of his revenge against them.

"As you wish Master Ryoma." Hikari turned to all the other servants and started to assign floors to do Ryoma's bidding. When all the servants dispersed Hikari turned back to Ryoma and said, "If you will follow me young master and I will take you to Young master Fuji's safe." With that said he immediately walked towards Fuji's layer otherwise known as the photography room. In the back of the dark room was a door that leads to a small storage closet. Behind an old shelf was a filing cabinet with a simple lock. Ryoma was surprised when Hikari said that this was where Fuji kept his precious blackmail material. Although it wasn't really surprising Fuji was devious and what better to hide something than in plain sight. Ryoma now only needed to get past the lock but that was easy for him after all he too was a genius. After finally picking the lock he opened up the first drawer of the cabinet. Everything was neatly labeled and in alphabetical order. The first drawer was A-F, the second drawer was G-L, the third drawer was M-S and the final drawer was T-Z. Each drawer had in them something that Ryoma wanted to take. In the first drawer under the file E was his name Echizen Ryoma. There had to be over a hundred pictures of just him though his file was very small compared to his other lovers and that was telling in and of itself, moving on he found more pictures of him in the second drawer under the file L where there was a file marked Lovers. This time instead of taking the entire file he had to go through the pictures to pick out the ones that had him in it. Kami that hurt seeing the happier times with the men that he loved but it also hurt to see that out of hundreds of pictures he was only in about forty of them. The pain from that was like a new wound to his heart because he knew that photography was Fuji's passion and he hadn't even bothered to really get his picture or at least not as much as the others. In the Third drawer he found pictures of him with his team mates from junior high in the file named Seigaku Tennis Club. He decided to leave those pictures there because those were something that was too special to bring into his small revenge against Fuji. In the final drawer he was surprised to find three pictures of him in Tezuka's file. They were from when they had started going out right after winning the Nationals with everyone for the second time. He took all the pictures he had gather and put them into a shoe box Fuji had left on the shelf. After closing the file cabinet Ryoma couldn't keep the small smirk off his face at the thought of getting one over the sadistic tensai.

After returning to the main living room to wait for the servants to get done with his previous orders he went through a mental check list of that he wanted to accomplish before he officially left this place for the last time. He still needed to call Kevin back to give him the go ahead to enter him into the tournament and to find a place to stay but he figure Kevin would let him stay with him until he found a place. He also needed to call his parents to let them know that he was leaving Japan for America although as long as it was for tennis they really wouldn't care. He also needed a place to store everything of his except for his clothes and Karupin of course. He decided not to take anything that reminded him of his lovers but he didn't want them to have anything of him as well. He was being selfish but he figured that he deserved to be after everything he had put up with. He would have to rent a storage center. He would get Hikari to call around to find a place he could rent yearly instead of monthly; it would be cheaper and easier that way.

At that moment Simon the chauffeur came into the room interrupting Ryoma's thoughts. "Ah Simon did you just get back from dropping off the others?" Ryoma asked

"Yes, Young master."

"Good will you call the airport and book me a flight for America." Ryoma said. Although Simon was the chauffeur he also handled all the travel arrangements for the young masters.

"For America young master? Are you joining the other young masters in New York?" asked Simon

"No Simon. I need a flight for San Francisco at one o'clock tomorrow." replied Ryoma. 'So that is where they went huh. New York, it figures.' Ryoma had wanted to go there for the winter holidays, New Years and Christmas was magical In New York. He had told Atobe that it would be nice to see all the decorations and festivities that was held there around this time of year and how being there with all of them together would be magical. It was just another blow and honestly he was just to numb already to really feel pain anymore.

As Simon walked off to book Ryoma's flight for him Hikari and the others returned. They had found the paintings and drawings of him that Yukimura had did and gotten the photos of him around the mansion and replaced them with others. Also they had gotten rid of all the ponta that was in all the refrigerators that could be found in the kitchen, the master suite and in the master study. In the music room they had gotten Ryoma's violin and guitar not that it would remind his lovers of him considering they hadn't even known that he had played an instrument. He had learned in the last two years. They had all been together for three years and in the second year when tennis wasn't enough and his lovers were busy with other things Ryoma had gotten lessons from Choutaro in secret. At first it was a way to past time and then it became an obsession. He had wanted to become good enough to surprises his lovers and as a way to give a gift to them on the special day, but in the end it never happened. In the beginning Ryoma was embarrassed because he wasn't good enough then because others things kept getting in the way of actually reveling his secret and because he was still childish enough to enjoy having a secret from his lovers even if it was a harmless secret but honestly it wasn't like he tried to hide the fact that he could play either. They really didn't notice anything he did anyways. The servants had also managed to get the stuffed monkey with a golden crown that he had gotten for Atobe as a gift for their first Christmas and he didn't know how but they had gotten the purple silk scarf that Ryoma had gifted Atobe with on his birthday the First year they were together. Atobe had worn the damn thing all the time or at least he did until he started to wear the gold one Tezuka had given him this Christmas. The only other things they were able to find that would remind his former lovers that they ever had a sixth lover were the signed tennis balls that they jokingly had him sign for when he would be a famous tennis star all around the world. They had said they wanted his first autographs. When everything was brought together Ryoma had the servants to pack up all his belongings including his new belongings. He asked that his clothes, electronics, bath salts and Karupin's toys be packed separately.

When this was done Ryoma asked Hikari to find a storage area for him to store his personal belongings. He then went to see if Simon was done booking him a flight. With everything completed to his satisfaction he called Kevin.

"Hello"

"Kevin its Ryoma, go ahead and enter me. I'm leaving tomorrow at one and should be there around three in the morning. Can you pick me up?"

"Yeah sure. This is great, but why now. You have been declining invitations for a while. What's different about this one?"

"I'm breaking up with my lovers. I'm tired of the way they treat me and being there little lap dog. I use to be so much stronger. I'm finally getting my back bone back." Ryoma said determinedly

"Oh shit really? I didn't even know you guys where having problems. You all were so much in love. What has change?" Kevin asked worriedly

"They did. They have forgotten I was even a part of this relationship and I'm not whining or being a baby about it. They really have forgotten me." Ryoma cried

"Crap that sucks Ryo. Well I'll pick you up and you can stay with me. When you get here you can cry on my shoulder I don't mind" Kevin said hopefully. In the back of his head he was thinking that this was his chance. He had always had a crush on Ryoma but just never had a chance to act on it.

"Thanks Kev. I'll see you tomorrow." Ryoma said as he hung up.

This last night Ryoma decided he was going to sleep in his old room, the room he had shared with his lovers in happier times. He had accomplished enough today and he was tired. His anger had passed a little while ago once again leaving nothing but a numbing pain. He lay down on his old Extreme Ultra-King bed. Nothing but the best for Atobe and really not just any bed would hold six lovers. The bed was huge with just him in it; it felt so empty just like his life now. He felt himself finally letting his tears to flow. They were slow at first but suddenly he was sobbing so hard his body shook. After what seemed like hours he quieted and fell asleep.

Outside the master bedroom door stood both Simon and Hikari listening to their young master crying himself asleep. Simon who had gotten the full story from Hikari earlier couldn't help but feel sad for the young man. They had come up to tell him he flight was for noon instead of one but didn't want to disturb the young master in his grief.

"Hikari how could this happen to him. They were all so much in love. Why was he the only one left out?" Simon asked mournfully

"I don't know, but I will do everything that I can for Master Ryoma. He has suffer enough already." Hikari replied sadly

"As will I old friend, as will I." Simon murmured softly

The next day Ryoma didn't awake until ten but he had plenty of time. He went to the bathroom to star his day and get ready. He felt oddly lighten as if crying the night before had released something inside of him. The pain was no longer as intense as it was yesterday. He finished his morning routine rather quickly and headed down stairs for something to eat. When he got to the dinner table Hikari was already there with a traditional Japanese breakfast.

"Arigato Hikari." Ryoma said

"Master Ryoma You flight is for noon today it seems that Simon had forgot to book animal passage for Karupin and when he called back to do so the only flights available with room for animal was an hour earlier than you wanted."

"Ah…well that is okay Hikari. Thank Simon for me. Truthfully I had forgotten as well. Also if you could have everything sent to storage and my bags brought down along with Karupin's things. I would like to get a head start what with traffic and it already being eleven now."

"Of course young master." Hikari replied

Ryoma quickly ate the rest of his breakfast and went to Atobe's study. He sat down at the desk and wrote a goodbye letter to the men he loved. After all he couldn't really leave without saying why he was leaving it would be rude. He finished the letter and sealed it into an unmarked envelope. Ryoma met Hikari and Simon at the front door.

Ryoma asked, "One last thing Hikari. This is a letter explaining why I am leaving but I would like for you to only give it to the others when they notice I am gone and not before. Also here is my cell phone number it is actually new so the others don't have it. Please don't give this to them but I would like you to call me when they notice that I am no longer here. I would like to know how long it takes and see just how much I meant to them. Call it morbid curiosity on my part. Also I would like to thank you for all you have done for me and appreciate it all, you and Simon both."

"Of course Master Ryoma." Hikari replied

Simon took Ryoma to the airport and waited with him to get his tickets and watched carefully as Karupin was loaded first so that nothing happened to her. When finally the passengers were to board Simon turned to Ryoma and said, "Good luck in America. I hope that you find happiness there Young Master."

"Arigato Simon."

Just as Ryoma was boarding he felt a sense of relief. He was finally going to follow his dreams and he was free from a relationship that was slowly turning him into somebody that he despised. He was Echizen Ryoma cocky rookie and arrogant, bratty tennis player extraordinaire not some biddable plaything for others amusement. This was the start of his new life and he was going to enjoy it to the fullest.

This is an OT6 fanfic but during the breakup between Ryoma and the others he will be dating around. One will be Kevin and a small romance with AKUTSU Jin. Also with one other. I was thinking Choutaro, Kaidou, and or a Healing threesome between the golden pair and Ryoma. Give me your suggestions and I will see what I can do.

Please enjoy :D
