The cats of Seigaku

Ryoma sighed to himself, resigned in the fact that the rain wasn't gonna stop and the regulars were indeed stuck inside. He sat on the window sill, golden, feline eyes gazing longingly at the tennis courts. He put his arms above his head and stretched, yawning sleepily. He looked around lazily for a good place to sleep.

Almost at once at once everyone stopped their conversations as Fuji chuckled. His blue eyes slid open, staring at the oblivious rookie.

"Fujiko?" Eiji asked nervously, Tezuka sighed, whatever the resident sadist had to say probably wouldn't be good.

"Ryoma chan is quite like a cat isn't he?" Fuji smiled and everyone turned their eyes on the freshman who had just found a nice place to sleep and looked up, bewildered at the sudden attention.

Kawaii thought the regulars, especially Kaido who blushed slightly, his obsession for cats adding a mental tail and ears to the poor child.

"Kawaii!" Exclaimed Eiji as he glomped Ryoma, who was too sleepy to put up much of a fight

Eventually Oishi managed to pry his counterpart away from Ryoma who had long since gone blue.

"What was that for?" He pouted when he got his breath back, Eiji only usually glomped him as a greeting. The pout was so adorable that Eiji had to be restrained and Fuji reopened his eyes while Taka and Momo joined Kaido in blushing.

"I was just saying how much you look like a cute little kitten, and everyone else was just agreeing, some more than others" Fuji smiled, gesturing at Eiji and revelling in Ryomas' blush

"Yea well you're like a cat too!" He retorted and several people snorted at that ridiculous statement while Fuji got closer to the boy with blue eyes staring into gold.

"How so?" He asked icily

"You're sneaky and blend in well like an alley cat" Ryoma explained, obviously happy with his logic

"That… actually makes sense" Momo said

"Of course it does" Ryoma huffed "And you and Kaido sempai are like cats too" He continued

"Ehhh?" Exclaimed the duo in unison, they then turned to glare at each other

"Yep" Ryoma smirked "You're always getting into cat fights"

"ARE NOT!" Momo and Kaido shouted before returning to their glaring match

"I'm sorry, would you rather I call them bitch fights?" Ryoma asked unapologetically

"Echizen!" Tezuka reprimanded

"Sorry, buchou"

"What kind of cat am I, O'chibi?" Eiji asked excitedly, the freshman frowned in thought, before smiling

"You're an over-enthusiastic kitten and Oishi is your mama!" He proclaimed

Fuji chuckled. Eiji seemed happy with the answer and Oishi just looked shocked

Momo burst out laughing and Tezuka's first though was that extensive exposure to Fuji had finally driven him insane, but that thought was nullified when the dunk specialist choked out

"Wow, Echizen. I never thought I'd ever hear you say "Mama""

"Shut up, you oaf!" Ryoma hissed back, looking even more like a cat than before

"Wow, Ryoma chan, I just came to a sudden realisation" Fuji smiled sadistically and everyone once again turned to the genius

"You can be a cute, lazy, sleepy cat one minute and a feisty tiger the next!"

Ryoma blinked, obviously confused "Er, thanks I guess, Fuji sempai"

"The idea just came to me because I was seriously fighting the urge to say "Kitty got claws" a moment ago" Fuji smiled serenely while Ryoma blushed and yelled at him and Momo and Eiji laughed outrageously, Kaido and Taka blushed, Inui took notes, Oishi lectured Fuji about corrupting Echizen and Tezuka sighed, tiredly.

Just another day in Seigaku Why did I come back again? The captain thought to himself
