(A/N): This story might be recognized to some of you. I wrote the original story on April of the last year. But I removed him quickly, because the terrified flames I got. After improving my English a bit, I allow myself to take the risk and to post this story again. I made some changes inside it compare to the original plot but I think it's for the best. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for Reddwarfer for helping me in the betaing of this chapter and for the good advices she gave me.

Chapter one

It was the warmest hour of the day as four Seigaku Regulars were walking in the streets of Tokyo, looking for something to eat.

"Taka-san, if you keep glancing backwards all the time, you might crack your neck."

Kawamura felt his cheeks turning red from that comment, "sorry Momo-chan, I'm only worried that we'll late for practice. Are you sure it's a good idea to eat burgers right now? Free time from practice is almost over-"

"Nya, don't worry," Eiji laughed. "When those two with us…" He pointed over Momoshiro and Echizen. "The burgers will be gone in seconds."

"And beside..." Echizen grinned. "Eiji-senpai is going to pay for us."

"Nya! Not fair! We said we would share the money this time!"

"C'mon Eiji-senpai…" Momoshiro smirked while patting Eiji's shoulder. "You don't want your poor kouhai will starve to death during practice."

Eiji sighed sadly. He didn't have the strength to argument with his kouhai, especially when he knew it was useless. He lowered his head in defeat, and regarded for not having lunch with Oishi.

The four friends arrived finally to the nearest burger joint, but only from stepping inside they knew that something was wrong:

People were down on the floor, gasping from pain as they held their hands.

Kawamura blinked as he watched those men. "Are you sure this is the right place?"

"Sure we are!" Momoshiro said, "Echizen and I eat here almost everyday. I don't understand…what could have turned this place into a burning battlefield?"

"Maybe an earthquake?" Eiji suggested.

"Seigaku!" Someone called suddenly, and the four friends turned around to see redhead boy, coming toward them.

Eiji blinked in confusion, "Sengoku? How long have you been here? Have you seen the earthquake?"

Sengoku grinned and shook his head, "it's not because of an earthquake. Akutsu Jin is here also."

"Jin?" Kawamura whispered worriedly and Sengoku nodded. "You see, there is an armwrestling contest over this place, and the winner will get free burgers as much as he can eat."

"Free burgers as much as you can eat? " Eiji repeated happily. "That means I won't be have to pay for those burgers! Taka-san, what are you waiting for?"

"Yeah!" Momoshiro added to Eiji's enthusiasm, "you must teach Akutsu a lesson for hurting those people, and beside we are all hungry here!"

"Eiji…Momo-chan…" Kawamura was nearly tears. "You know I that hate this kind of contests, and beside, I don't want to get mess with Jin-"

"Listen to your big friend!" interrupted Sengoku, "Maybe you beat us in tennis, but Akutsu will never lose in armwrestling!"

"Don't be so sure!" Eiji returned him. "Taka-san is the strongest person in our club!"

Kawamura was feeling quite nervous when the scary ex-member of Yamabuki Club came toward them with an unpleasant smile on his face. "Well, well my dear old friend Kawamura, am I hearing right? Do you want to face me? I can't refuse to childhood friend's request."

Kawamura's hands were shaking, but just then Echizen placed a racket in his hand.

A wonderful warm feeling started to spread through Kawamura's body. "BURNING! AKUTSU, BABY, PREPARE TO DIE!"

Akutsu's smile froze almost immediately as he yelled back: "Don't tell me what to do!"

The match finally began. It was true that Akutsu was much strongest and eviler, but Kawamura had something that gave him powers that Akutsu would never be able to understand or even to imagine. It took a few minutes and the match was determined:

"We won! Seigaku won! Free burgers! Well done, Taka-san!"

But not everyone was happy, Yamabuki in particular. Akutsu cradled his hurt hand and looked with such hatred at Kawamura causing his racket felt from his hand.

"Jin, I'm sorry I…" started Kawamura, but Akutsu stopped him.

"You're coward, Kawamura Takashi. Without that stupid racket of yours, you are nothing but a lame! Now listen to me…" Akustu grasped Kawamura's shirt collar and pulled him forward. "I never forget things, and soon Seigaku will see what it is like to provoke Jin Akustu and Yamabuki!"

With those words, Akustu and the other Yamabuki members left the restaurant.

"These guys just can't lose with honor." Eiji said giving the leaving team a disdainful look, before starting eating his burger.

Outside the store:

"Just leave it Jin. Please don't be so mad." Minami tried desperately to comfort his angry friend. "Come now, let's go and eat some pizzas!"

"I'm not going to relax!" said Akutsu loudly. "First that stupid brat and now Taka! I'm not going let Seigaku make fun of me like this! I just wish to see Taka without his stupid racket, than I-"

"We all know that you will destroy him if he faces you without the racket, but it will never happened" said Muromachi.

"Well, let's just make him to do that then." said Akutsu angrily.

"And how are we going to do that? Ask him?" laughed Kita.

Sengoku suddenly changed the subject-"Isn't that Seigaku's tensai, Fuji Syusuke?"

Akutsu and the other Yamabuki Regulars turned around and looked at the pretty smiling boy, who was stepping up the street right next to them. Just then Akutsu had an evil idea start to develop in his mind.

"Jin, where are you-" started Minami, but Akutsu hushed him up, and ran toward the tensai.

"What going on?" Fuji asked Akutsu, still smiling.

"Fuji, you must come with me and Yamabuki right now!"

"Why should I?" Fuji gave Akustu a suspicious look. "Anyway, I have to go. I don't want to late for practice. My buchou won't like it."

"But Fuji," Akutsu continued not giving up "You don't understand. Touji has just developed a new kind of wasabi sushi!"

The tensai fell into the trap, eyes opening immediately: "a new kind of wasabi sushi? I must eat that!"

Akutsu gave him an evil smile: "let's go then."
