Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Tennis no Ohjisama or its characters

A/N: This is my new idea for PoT, possibly be a Ryoma / Ryoga pairing but it could be other yaoi pairings but I haven’t thought that far yet. This is the rough idea. So comments, review are welcome! The movie doesn’t happen in this fanfic.

Memories of a Broken Promise by Uena

“Hey Ryoma come here and meet your oniichan, Ryoga!” The little shadow was cute enough for him. He was wearing a jumper and a red t-shirt and a white baseball cap that covers most part of his face. He couldn’t resist it anymore. He jumps to his side and take him off the cap showing all his greenish hair and with a quick hand move he shake all his head. Ryoma doesn’t know how to react but it was obvious that he doesn’t like that kind of move especially when he is took by surprise.

“Itai…stop it!”

“Nee chibisuke, kombawa!” Ryoga hug him like he was a huge teddy bear… he was getting annoyed. Big brother? He looks like more than a baby in front of him.

“Hey Ryoga, leave the brat alone he doesn’t know when one is joking!” Nanjiroh, the father said while he grabs the boy’s suitcase and carry them into the house “Do you know how to play tennis?”

“Want to come and play with me?” He gets distract and when he notices again the match was over and the other boy was asking him for a match. He doesn’t know if he could make it in front of him so he just puts his eyes on the floor and back step.

“He is shy. Doesn’t know how to make friends but when he grows up he is going to be a professional… he was it all. By now he only needs practice. What do you say?”

“You want me to practice with him?”

“Just show him some moves… He is special, he learns fast but he couldn’t make it by now… he needs to grow a little more. Don’t have mercy with him… he is very persistence. Doesn’t know when to stop” Ryoma sounds interesting to him more and more right now. What he has to do first is try to make him talk. The only word out of his mouth that he heard was… ‘Itai’.

Flash

“Don’t go, oniichan” Cried Ryoma as he cling to his older version, letting tears freely fall down his face. “Don’t go, oniichan.” Ryoma sobs out “you promised that you wouldn’t leave me...”

‘Oniichan’ stood clenching both his hands as he stood his back facing the crying chibi, listening to the cries, sobs he had caused. Gritting his teeth together, he pushed Ryoma away causing him to fall down and began walking away not before saying.” Promises are meant to be broken, grow up already. Ryoma!” as the rain began to fall.

“Don’t go! Oniichan!” Ryoma now abandoned all hope of getting up and run to his brother, resort to wailing out over and over as Ryoga walked away ignoring the wails of his brother. His final thought before fading into the shadows was “Gomen Chibisuke, gomen.”

Total silence answered, as Ryoma who now has been reduced to quietly sobbing out and murmuring “Don’t go oniichan, don’t leave me…” before falling unconscious in the rain, falling the into the darkness’s welcoming embrace….

A/N: So what do you think, I would like to thank you -w-e-i-r-d-b for letting me use a part of your story to fit mine cause when I tried writing it myself it came out exactly like the beginning of ‘Puzzle’. Thank you again.

Reviews and comments on what you think of this fanfic are welcome.
