�� Moshi moshi?� Ah Tezuka��
Yes I�m at the school with Eiji and Taka�� What?!�
How?� Where?...� Yes of course�� Where do you want us to start?...� No those are
good places to start�� We�re closer to
his parents� house so we�ll check there��
Momo went to the arcade with Kamio and Ibu?...� Yes I heard he wanted to try that game
too�� No he was talking about it with
Eiji the other day, they were supposed to go after practice today�� What about the courts that Kachiro�s father
works at?� He�s been there a few times
and he sometimes helps him coach�� Nanako-sans boyfriend?�
Why would he do anything to Ryoma?...� Yes he does strike me as odd and Ryoma has
been complaining about how he treats him but I don�t think he�d�� Yes I can see that�� No actually it strikes me more as something else, I can�t really put my finger on it�� Yes we�ll go right now�� Try the courts I was talking about.� Oishi�s
conversation into his cell phone had the other two looking at him strangely.

�� What�s
going on Shuichiro?� What�s this about
Ochibi?� Eiji asked as he stepped off the court from his smash practice with
Kawamura.

�� Ryoma�s
missing!� We need to head to his old
house to see if he went there.� The
others are also looking for him.�

�� What do
you mean Ochibi�s missing nya?� We have
to find him!� He could be in trouble or
hurt or� or somebody could kidnap him!�
NYA!� Ochibi might be kidnapped!� We can�t let them Shuichiro!� Eiji yelled
becoming slightly hysterical.

�� Ryoma�s
been kidnapped!?� Oh No Thank You!� We gotta find him
baby!� What are we waiting for?� Let�s go!� Taka yelled as he came up to them
still holding his racket.

�� Taka-san
we don�t know if he�s been kidnapped, Eiji was just speculating.� Ryoma�s just missing right now.� I�m sure he�s fine�� Though it is a possibility considering how
much media attention he�s had since he started playing in the Grand Slams and
if anyone wanted to go after Atobe then Ryoma would be a likely target�� We need to find him right away!� Oishi said
failing to calm the other two down as he entered a deeper stage of worry himself.

One would think he�d be used to this after all these years
or that the team would have matured into more serious students, but fate had
decreed otherwise.� Sure there had been
changes over the four years since the team was completed by Ryoma�s entrance,
but much was still the same.� Taka still
burned when he held a racket, Eiji still bounced and jumped to conclusions,
Kaidoh still hissed and fought with Momo, Momo still ate far too much and acted
a little childish at times, Fuji still smiled and terrorized, Tezuka was still
a rock for the most part, Ryoma was still cocky, and Oishi was still a mother
hen.

A minute or two later Oishi had his two friends just barely
calm enough to set out towards Ryoma�s parents� house to see if Nanako had seen
their youngest teammate.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Inui and Kaidoh arrived at the school courts barely missing
the other three players by five minutes.

�� We�re in
luck, no one�s here yet.� Or, most
likely, Tezuka already contacted them and they�re all out looking for Echizen.�
Inui said as the two headed for the court lockers/change room to drop off
Ryoma�s bag.�

Once done they headed back to the gate to decide what to do
next.

�� Where
should we look Sadaharu?�

�� Let me
call the others to see where they are looking.�
We can cover more ground if all our groups go in different directions.�
Inui replied then proceeded to make several calls.��

�Ok the others are checking specific
destinations.� Oishi, Kikumaru, and
Kawamura are checking Ryoma�s house, Momoshiro teamed up with Kamio and Ibu
from Fudomine to check the arcade, and Echizen�s boyfriends are checking the
Seichundai Tennis Club where Kachiro�s father coaches.� We�ll head downtown to see if he�s wandering
down there.� I�ll call the local
hospitals and clinics on the way to see if he made his way to one of them.�

�Sadaharu what if we can�t find
him?� What if he gets on a train?� Kaidoh
hissed in fear imagining the things the others would do to him.

�� Kami-sama forbid.� I don�t think
he would have but he�s impossible to predict with no memory, we�ll check just
in case.� We�re supposed to keep in
contact with the others but its better if you don�t talk to them or you might
accidentally give something away.�

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Even without his memory fully intact Ryoma was not
dumb.� When he got to a busier place he
tried asking people for directions to the hospital.� Unfortunately he had only managed to get one
couple to talk to him and they had been foreigners who didn�t know where it
was.� Most of the shops in this section
of the city weren�t open quite yet, so Ryoma was currently sitting on a bench
at a bus stop.� He figured that if he
couldn�t get someone to just tell him then maybe he could have someone take him
there.� He had some money that he�d found
in his zippered pocket, he just hoped it was enough.� He was slightly startled when someone
suddenly sat down next to him.

�� Echizen-san
how pleasant to meet you here this fine morning.� An old man with a creepy
smile said.

�� Are you
talking to me?� Ryoma replied.

�� Of
course.� The old man�s smile widened.

�� And you
are?� Ryoma asked getting the feeling that he shouldn�t reveal much to this
strange man.

�� Of course�
I had heard that you tend to forget people that don�t interest you.� I�m Banji of Yamabuki coach.�

�� I see.�
Ryoma said though he wondered what this man coached exactly.

�� So are you
interested in playing for Yamabuki?� The
team is even stronger than in middle school, and I can offer you quite a few
perks.�

�� No.� was
the only word Banji got out of the teen before Ryoma got up and left.

Ryoma sighed to himself as he rounded the corner.� First that hissing boy had disappeared after
saying he would take him to the hospital and then some creepy old man who
wouldn�t stop smiling propositioned him to play for some sports team.� At least, he hoped it was for a sports team�
