Groaning, bright golden eyes fluttered open.
"You awake." a whispered voice stated
Turning, Ryoma looked at the person who had spoken. Messy, curly black hair and green eyes stared down at him.
Rikkaidai's, Kirihara Akaya.
And there was someone else their as well. Blinking his eyes, he frowned before he realized who the boy was.
It was Hyotei's Hiyoshi Wakashi, wasn't it? His opponent from the Kantou district tournaments!
"Where are we?"
"Don't know. Some guy brought us here. He hasn't said the reason why yet." Whispered Hiyoshi.
Ryoma frowned and tried to sit up but paused a second later and tugged at his arms.
"We're chained to the wall, so it's no use in trying to move around." Replied Kirihara as he shook his arms and legs, listening to the clanking of metals. "He shackled us to keep us from escaping most likely."
Hiyoshi turned his head, "Whatever the reason we were taken, it's not going to be anything good."
Ryoma sighed and leaned against the wall. He wondered what would happen now. The only thing he was thankful for was the fact that he had company or who knew how he would have reacted.
The regulars of Rikkai, Seigaku, Hyotei were sitting around each other at a nearby park, discussing the different possibilities or reason to why Ryoma, Kirihara and Hiyoshi were taken. And why wasn't Shishido, Ohtori and Jirou taken as well. Why these three in particular.
"Well they each are good tennis players." Stated Ohtori "But that can't be the reason, a lot people are good."
"And them being regulars on the tennis team is nothing to be noted seeing that there is a lot of other people that could have been targeted if all the kidnapper wanted was a tennis regular."
The group nodded at that.
"They don't look alike, don't act the same, they don't even live near each other. What is it that we are missing?" questioned Fuji crossing his arms over his chest.
"What is it that makes them the same?" Whispered Oshitari tapping fingers on his forearms
"Ryoma is a tensai, a prodigy and from what I have seen of Kirihara and Hiyoshi, they could be labeled as one, in their own right." Oishi's voice cut through the silence.
Fuji tilted his head to the side and nodded his head; he saw what his fuku-buchou was aiming for. "They are aces for their respective schools. The team depends on them to win. The captains strive for them to be better, to be the pillar for their team when they (the captains) graduate."
The team all looked up in surprise.
"That would link them together." Whispered Inui tapping his finger against his notebook while Yanagi nodded his head absentmindedly wondering why he or Sadaharu never thought of that possibility.
"But…" everyone turned towards Tezuka who was staring at the empty place in front of him before turning to look at everyone else.. "But what if, this person who took Ryoma, Kirihara and Hiyoshi, what if it had nothing to do with tennis?" he questioned.
It was obvious the group hadn't thought about the possibility of the kidnapping not being apart of or related to tennis because what other ways could there be to link the three besides them playing tennis.
"What do you mean, Tezuka-buchou?" asked Momoshiro
Tezuka looked up, brown eyes showing worry and concern for the three younger males who were taken. "This morning my grandfather mentioned something to me..."
With furrowed brows, the regulars of Seigaku, Hyotei and Rikkaidai stared at Tezuka with confusion. "What are trying to tell us, Tezuka, ahn?"
"My grandfather was worried about something, which is, in itself strange, seeing as he has never been one to be worried about anything. But this morning he had been as he told me to be careful and to stay in groups. He said to make sure no one left practice by them-selves. After telling me that he slipped me this..." Tezuka held out a news paper clipping "Before leaving the room."
Holding up the newspaper in question, a bold headline caught their attention, causing many eyes to widen in shocked surprise.
"A renounced criminal is on the loose."
A few nights ago, Yamashita Akito, an alleged kidnapper, murderer and rapist has just escaped from high security, killing ten on duty guards and severely injuring five others. The people are being warned to make sure their child is not out after sun down until this criminal is captured.
The group stopped reading and looked up. Eiji, Momoshiro, Marui, Gakuto and Jirou burst out crying at the prospects that their younger friends were going through if this Yamashita Akito was indeed the one who took them.
"Let's go talk to Ryuzaki-sensei about this. And if the police are indeed at the house, we can talk to them about the possibility that this criminal was the one who took our friends."
Nodding the rest of the group got up and left the café. And ran towards the Echizen household!
Here's the new chapter.
