Rikkaidai:
One lovely day, the Rikkaidai regulars were practising tennis…..cause they had to train……for the nationals……yeah. Unfortunately, a certain Junior was late…again…due to the fact that he had to help a pregnant woman give birth….again….yeah…yeah that's it! It was that or he just fell asleep on the bus………again.
"Ne Mura-buchou!!!" Kirihara ran over to Yukimura, using a little too much energy, shooting right past Yukimura and crashing into Sanada.
"Yukimura-buchou…" Sanada scowled, pushing Kirihara away.
"Hai, Akaya?" The buchou in question smiled.
"Even though we're not the number one going to the nationals this year…Can we have a party for the nationals? Can we? Can we?"
"That's a great idea, Akaya. We can hold it at my place." Hmmm, I wonder how they'll like the idea of the other schools joining in as well… Yukimura's eyes gleamed.
"We should have a cake!!" Marui grinned, jumping up and down.
"I was thinking that we should have a Potato pot," Jackal smiled.
"What's that?" His doubles partner asked.
"It's a huge cooking party with potatoes," Jackal explained.
"Why would you want a potato pot?"
"Because I like them"
"But I don't like potatoes…" Kirihara pouted.
"But potatoes are good for you!"
"How?"
"Research says they are"
"…" all the regulars found Yanagi's data to be……strange…putting it lightly, I mean who searches up the nutritional facts about potatoes? They're potatoes…
"Jackal, maybe you should grow your hair back. I think the baldness is getting to you." His doubles partner commented.
"Hmmm, well a Potato pot does sound like a good idea"
"Yukimura, you must be joking"
"Na Geinchirou, would I joke about things like this?"
"…"
"Exactly. If no one else has any ideas then I think that a Potato pot would be a good idea."
While everyone thought about it, our favourite little bratling had an idea he had been DYING to announce.
"Can we have lots and lots of balloons and crayons and a piñata instead of a Potato pot?" Akaya asked, using his cute look.
"That is a wonderful idea Akaya!"
"Buchou, you shouldn't spoil the brat."
"Go away Niou-senpai!"
"Make me."
"Niou, Kirihara! 20 laps NOW!"
As the two aforementioned regulars went to do the laps that they were assigned, the team was actually quiet for once.
"Wow, this is…uncanny." Yagyuu said.
"It's not going to last long."
"Masaharu and Akaya are probably at each other's necks right about now."
"What do you expect?" Marui asked, popping a bubble.
"Nothing less, that's for sure." Jackal grinned at his doubles partner.
"Mura-buchou!! NIOU-SENPAI IS TRYING TO TRIP ME!!!"
"Is not! You fat liar!"
"Masaharu! Is that any way to speak to your kouhai? Apologize to Akaya!"
"NO!"
"Niou, manners!" Yagyuu scolded.
"Gomen, Akaya." But his eyes showed no hint of apologizing, rather, it was scary.
"AHH, buchou! Niou is looking at me weird!"
"AM not!"
"Is too!"
"Am NOT!"
"Shut up and save your strength for running!" Sanada was feeling one of his infamous headaches, which seemed to occur most frequently at practise… what a coincidence. It seems that dealing with people like this will be his downfall. Ica understands how he feels. She has to deal with this kind of idiocy everyday.
"Genichiroh, let them be, it doesn't seem normal if they don't fight." Yukimura smiled.
"So you're saying, that when Masaharu is trying to kill Akaya, it's a good thing?"
"…"
"So who other than me thinks that Akaya's idea for a party was good?"
"…."
"Yukimura, I don't think we should encourage him…" Sanada said
"We should have a cake baking party!!!"
"Does anyone actually know how to bake a cake?"
"Well I do!"
"Bunta, not everyone is as talented as you are"
"….Buchou, I know that you can bake a cake WAYY better than I can without breaking a sweat."
"That may be true, but we have to think of the other people"
"Too many calories…" Yagyuu shook his head.
"You mean, to many chances that Niou would mess up the cake." Yanagi said, scribbling.
"Hey! I wouldn't do such a thing!" Niou said, pretending to be outraged while running.
"Of course, right….." being on the same team as Niou, you learn to never trust the guy.
"Hmmm, if Niou is going to mess up the cake, then maybe I can borrow one of Sadaharu's recipes for cake…."
"NO!"
"Why not? His recipes are delicious!"
"In what world?"
"The other schools should be invited too." Yukimura smiled sweetly.
"What? Yadda! They're just gonna interfere!" Niou objected.
"Come on…" Yukimura turned on his sad smile, "You wouldn't be disagreeing with your buchou would you?"
"Ne- Nevermind…" Damnit, it always works.
"That's better. Now I do hope you will let me call the other teams."
"Uhhhh, Mura, what schools are gonna be there?"
"Almost all of them, well the ones in the nationals."
"WHAT?!?!" Not just Niou, but ALL the Rikkaidai regulars were MORE than surprised.
"Now then, if the all the schools weren't there then it wouldn't be fun anymore now would it…"
"Yukimura, perhaps we shouldn't invite all the schools…or is it that you want to have fun with Seigaku's Fuji?" Sanada asked.
"Now what gave you that idea?"
"Perhaps it's the look I see in your eye that says that you really want to plan something…..evil"
"Nonsense! It'll just be more fun with all the schools, right?"
"Sure…." Somehow, nobody actually believed that.
Rokakku:
In Chiba another miracle has happened.
"SAE-SANN CAN WE HAVE A WE-MADE-IT-INTO-THE-NATIONALS PARTY???? CAN WE? CAN WE? CAN WE?"
"Kentarou, do you mind lowering your voice a bit?"
"GOMEN SAE-SANNN. IS THIS BETTERR??"
It wasn't but since he didn't want to hurt Kentarou's feelings, Saeki said yes.
"Now what did you want to ask?"
"IF WE CAN HAVE A WE-MADE-IT-INTO-THE-NATIONALS PARTY"
"Sure. If you want. You are the captain"
Again the buchou ring tone rang…..for like the tenth time today….
"MOSHI MOSHI?"
"Ah Aoi-kun, we were just having a talk and we decided to have a Start-Of-Nationals party. Now we just need to know if you want to have a party."
"HOW COINCIDENTALLLL. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT BUT WE CALLED IT WE-MADE-IT-INTO-THE-NATIONALS."
"Sou ka. Alright, so that means that you're okay with it?"
"YUPP!"
"Alright then, I'll have to ask if we can have it at Keigo's house"
"SUGOIIII. KEIGO-CHAN'S HOUSEEE. I'VE NEVER BEEN INSIDE IT!!"
"We invited the other schools as well so we'll see you there"
"MINAAAAA. SEICHII JUST CALLED AND SAID THAT WE'RE HAVING THE PARTY AT KEIGO'S HOUSEEEE. AND ALL THE SCHOOLS THAT MADE IT INTO THE NATIONALS ARE COMINGGG."
"Nande, nande? Why not at Yukimura's house? Nande, nande?"
"It-chan, Atobe's house is bigger since all the schools are coming, it will be easier to fit all the schools in."
"Nande, nande? Why are all the other schools coming?"
"Well won't it be more fun this way?"
"Hmmm, that means that I won't be able to see Atsushi"
"Ryou-kun why is that?"
"St. Rudolph did not make it into the Nationals"
"Oh yeah."
Hyoutei:
"This is boring…" Gakuto complained, lazily hitting the tennis ball.
"This isn't supposed to be interesting. We're training for the nationals REMEMBER?" Atobe fumed.
"Meh…"
"What do you mean MEH? Hmmm?" Atobe was annoyed, even more so by the fact that he actually said the word 'meh'.
"Nothing…" Gakuto and Oshitari exchanged a look.
"Seriously Atobe, you're losing your touch. You should be able to think of a more interesting regime." Oshitari smiled.
"Are you asking to get kicked off the team, ahhh?"
"But then I won't have a doubles partner!" Gakuto protested.
Atobe mumbled something about stupid doubles problems and turned around to supervise (-cough- stare at) Jirou, ignoring the glance exchanged between the 2 doubles pairs.
"I know!" An excited Jirou jumped up and down. "We should have a Getting-In-The-Nationals party!!!"
"That's a stupid name." Gakuto rolled his eyes.
"I think it's a good idea actually." Ohtori said.
"It would be better than enduring Atobe's boring training regime." Shishido rolled his eyes.
"Ore-sama thinks that you guys are getting to full of yourselves, ne Kabaji?"
"Usu." The ever passive giant replied.
"Excuse me, WE ARE TOO FULL OF OURSELVES?" Shishido resisted the temptation to beat "ore-sama" into a pulp because 1) Ohtori was watching and 2) Kabaji was going to beat Shishido up before he could get to Atobe.
"Are you challenging ore-sama? Ahhh?"
"Wouldn't dream of it." Shishido mumbled indignantly.
"Shishido-san…" Ohtori reached and gently touched Shishido's shoulder.
"How many times do I have to ask you to call me Ryo-kun?" Shishido was obviously trying not to smile.
"Sorry, Shishido- I mean Ryo-kun." Ohtori looked down. (Silver pair moment!!) The whole Hyoutei team ignored the open show of affection, passing it off as something that happened everyday, kinda like Jirou sleeping or Gakuto jumping.
"A party!" Jirou was still jumping up and down somewhere, all excited…yep, it was just a matter of time before he fell asleep again.
"So, Atobe-buchou, what do you think of the idea?" Ohtori asked.
"Ore-sama also likes the idea." Atobe considered.
"Pshaa, only because Jirou suggested it." Gakuto rolled his eyes.
"What was that?"
"Nothing…"
"So what type of party?"
Coincidentally, at that exact moment, Atobe's cell phone rang. Atobe smiled to himself, it's the buchou ring tone. The whole Hyoutei regulars sneezed.
"Ore-sama speaking."
"Hello, Keigo." Yukimura's voice rang.
"Why Seiichi, I wasn't expecting a call from you."
"I'll bet, so how's training going?"
"We're doing well, Hyoutei's going to make a comeback."
"We'll watch out for Hyoutei, for sure." Yukimura chuckled.
"So, Seiichi, there must be another reason that you've called."
"Yes, there is actually, an invitation…or rather, a request."
"A request?"
"Yep, a request for a party…"
"A party? What a coincidence, we were just talking about that."
"Good! Then you wouldn't mind me asking, we were planning to have a Start-of-Nationals party. But, I think it'll be a bit crowded at my place, we were wondering if we could go to your place…although we still need a theme…"
"My place would be okay, I'm sure my parents would agree."
"That's wonderful!!! But we still to figure out what type of party it would be, my team would like either a Potato Cooking Party or a Cake Baking party…both of them I'm not keen on. The last option from Rokakku is a We-Made-It-Into-The-Nationals party."
"Hmm, let me ask my team and I'll get back to you okay?"
"Sure."
Atobe hung up and surveyed his team.
"Was that Yukimura-san from Rikkaidai?" Ohtori asked.
"Yes."
"Why did he call?" Gakuto asked.
"For a party, a Start-of-Nationals party."
"That's even stupider than Jirou's Getting-in-The-Nationals party."
"Your just jealous you didn't come up with the idea."
"It's a stupid idea."
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not"
"To"
"Shut up!" Atobe snapped, mainly at Gakuto. "Stupid idea or not, we're having one."
"But-"
"NO BUTS!" Atobe glared. "I already promised Seiichi, now all we need is …what type of party."
"What type of party?"
"Don't make Ore-sama repeat himself. Rikkaidai wants either a Potato Cooking party or a Cake Baking party. Rokakku wants a We-Made-It-Into-The-Nationals party."
"Ew, all three of them are stupid." Gakuto grumbled and received another warning glare from Atobe.
"I would say just a normal party." Oshitari said.
"Yeah, I guess I would want that too." Ohtori glanced at Shishido.
"That's boring." Jirou pouted, receiving a glare from Shishido.
"Ore-sama agrees, it should be more interesting if it was going to be at ore-sama's place, ne Kabaji?"
"Usu."
"You're just agreeing because Jirou thinks it's boring." Shishido complained.
"Ore-sama doesn't recall asking you, ahhh?"
"Can we get back to the topic?" Hiyoshi talked for the first time.
"Topic?" It seems that the Hyoutei team had short-term memory.
"The party…?" Senpai-tachi are stupid.
"Oh…right…"
"How about a pool party?" Gakuto suggested.
"That's only fun when there's girls, stupid." The straight members of the team said.
"Not necessarily…well not for Atobe, Jirou, Shishido or Ohtori." Oshitari commented, earning a deathly glare from Atobe, a sloppy grin from Jirou, a murderous look from Shishido and a deep crimson blush from Ohtori.
"For the last time, ore-sama is NOT gay!"
This was accompanied by a lot of coughing.
"…it's called bisexual!" Atobe argued.
"I would've thought you were autosexual if not for Jirou." Shishido rolled his eyes.
"What's autosexual?" Jirou asked, cutely.
"Narcissism." Oshitari adjusted his glasses.
"What's that?" Gakuto asked.
"CAN WE GET BACK ON THE TOPIC?" Atobe finally snapped.
"Okay, okay, so no pool party." Gakuto quickly said.
"Knowing you, Atobe, you would want a formal gathering." Oshitari said.
"How formal can you get with the Rikkaidai boys?" Shishido asked.
"Hmm, it will be more disastrous than anything, ahhh?" Atobe considered, finally calming down.
"I know! A Surprise Pot!!!" Jirou jumped up and down.
"Surprise…pot…?" Ohtori looked stunned.
"What's that?" Gakuto was brave enough to ask.
"It's like this huge pot where everyone eats from…oh and everyone has to put their own ingredient in too."
"Is that…hygienic?" Atobe asked, ruffling Jirou's hair affectionately.
"Yes! As long as we make sure the ingredients are clean!" Jirou said, "it's be SUGEE!"
"Hmm, that doesn't sound bad…" Shishido considered.
"Yeah! Let's have a Surprise Pot!" Gakuto started jumping.
"Surprise Pot it is then." Atobe said, calling Yukimura.
"Moshi Moshi?"
"This is Atobe."
"Keigo! So have you decided then?"
"My team seems to be interesting in a Surprise Pot."
"Why, that's a great idea!"
"It…is? Are you sure the pot will be edible?"
"Well, knowing Niou probably not, but it'll be fun right?"
"Hmm, I suppose, well, we should probably invite the others too, no?"
"I'll get to that," Yukimura chuckled as a huge explosion could be heard from the other side of the phone.
"What was that?" Atobe asked.
"Oh, just the usual, I'm sure Genichiroh can handle it…on second thought, I better check it out. I'll talk to you later then." He hung up.
That was strange…
Seigaku:
"Achoo!" Almost the whole team sneezed in unison.
"Achoo!"
"Achoo!"
"Someone must be thinking about us." Fuji smiled.
"Or mad at us." (Anti: common Chinese belief that if you sneeze like a couple of times in a row, it means that someone is either mad at you or thinking about you.)
"This sucks, how are we supposed to practise if we keep on sneezing?" Kikumaru demanded.
"Why are we practising on Saturday again?" Momo asked.
"Because the Nationals are coming up and we must." Oishi explained, shaking Momo's hand as their match finished.
"Right."
"Hoi, shouldn't we celebrate the beginning of the Nationals?"
"Yeah, we should have a Beginning-of-the-Nationals party!"
"Baka, what kind of name is that?"
"You wanna fight?"
"Bring it on!"
"How can they fight so early in the morning?" Kikumaru asked.
"The same way we play tennis so early in the morning." Fuji replied.
"I want a party! Don't you Ochibi?"
"Whatever."
"That would be a good idea." Fuji commented, coming over to their court. "Right Tezuka?"
"It would interfere with practise."
"All work and no play makes everything so dull though." Fuji smiled.
"I think a party would be good too." Kawamura said, shyly.
"Yes, Tezuka, I think some fun would do us some good." Oishi said.
"P-A-R-T-Y!" Kikumaru was already jumping up and down, bumping into Oishi in the process.
"E-Eiji!" Oishi blushed like crazy.
"Nani?" Kikimaru didn't think there was anything wrong with falling into his doubles partner, nope nothing wrong at all.
Again, conveniently at that EXACT moment, the buchou ring tone went off. Can you guess whose phone it was? OF COURSE! It was Tezuka-BUCHOU'S. Cause like it's the buchou ring tone and he's like the buchou…never mind.
"Moshi moshi"
"Hello Kunimitsu."
"Seiichi..."
"Let me guess, you're practising?"
"Hn…"
"All work and no play makes everything dull, Kunimitsu."
"Funny, Fuji just said that."
"Well, great minds think alike as they say."
"Hn." Sadistic minds think alike.
"How is Fuji-san?"
"He's doing well."
"That's good…so I have an invitation for your team."
"An invitation to what?"
"A party, a Surprise Pot actually…at Keigo's place."
"What for?"
"Start-of-Nationals!"
"My team was just talking about that."
"My, my, what a coincidence, so what say you?"
"I'll consult my team."
"Okay, well get back to me, or Keigo or Rokkaku." Yukimura hung up.
Tezuka surveyed the expectant looks of his team, and thought about how many things can go wrong in a Surprise Pot. He hoped that Atobe had a backup plan, or maybe even a couple of bodyguards.
"Come on Tezuka! Why did Seiichi call?" Fuji asked.
Since when was he on first name terms with Seiichi? "A party."
"A party?"
"A Start-of-Nationals party."
"What a stupid name." Momo commented.
"Not as stupid as Beginning-of-the-Nationals party." Kaidoh said.
"Shut up Mamushi!"
"Thirty laps, both of you." Tezuka said and the two juniors started running.
"So, fill us in Buchou!" Kikumaru exclaimed.
"Hyoutei, Rokkaku and Rikkaidai are having a Surprise Pot party at Atobe's place."
"Wow, talk about telepathy!"
"So they invited us?"
"Yeah."
"Should we go?"
"Hell yeah!" Momo shouted from somewhere around the court.
"This would be a good occasion to test my new Inui Juice." Inui muttered.
"No tampering with the Pot."
"Awww, that's no fun."
"If it's a Surprise Pot, then we can put anything we bring right?" Fuji smiled innocently.
"…" Tezuka gave Fuji a wary look.
"Fuji, please don't 'spice' up the pot with alcohol related beverages or illegal drugs." Oishi said.
"Why Oishi, I can't believe you would accuse that of me, if anyone is to be blamed, it should be Hyoutei's Oshitari-san."
"Ahem, I'll tell Atobe then."
"Very well, did Yukimura tell us when the party will be?"
"No."
"Oh well, I'm sure he will inform us sooner or later." With that the Seigaku regulars drifted off to practise again.
Yamabuki:
"Minami, wouldn't it be nice if we could do something since we made it into the Nationals?"
"Sengoku, what are you hinting at?"
"Well the fact that I just heard that all the other schools that made it into the Nationals are having a big party at Atobe's house."
Ah, the buchou ringtone strikes again.
"Hold that thought Sengoku. Moshi moshi?"
"Minami-kun I was wondering whether you would consider my invitation to come to a party at Keigo's house to celebrate the fact that we all made it into the Nationals. So we decided to have a Surprise pot. Yamabuki is more than welcome to join, since of course you guys did make it to the Nationals"
"Funny, Sengoku just mentioned that party."
"So Minami-kun what do you say?"
"We'll come, but I don't think that my whole team will be so pleased with the idea."
"Alright then, bring whoever wants to come then. See you there"
"Sengoku, it looks like you'll be getting your way today."
Fudomine:
"Tachibana-san, the nationals are coming up quick." Kamio remarked.
"I know, I was thinking we should relieve some stress by celebrating."
"What type of celebration?" Sakurai asked.
"A party…" Tachibana said.
"A party?" Ishida asked after a moment of silence, the team wondered if they had heard their captain right.
"Yes, a Celebrate-The-Nationals party!"
"Okay…" The team exchanged glances, just then, a cell phone rang, Tachibana's, because it was the buchou ringtone.
"Moshi moshi!"
"Tachibana!"
"Yukimura!"
"Aren't we on first name terms?"
"It doesn't matter. Why did you call?"
"Hmmmm, it seems like my team would like a party to celebrate the fact that we are going to the Nationals."
"What a coincidence. It seems like my team would like to have a Celebrate-The-Nationals party."
"It seems like everyone would like a party. Well Seigaku, Rikkaidai, and Hyotei are also having one, so we decided to group together to have a BIG party. Of course we will be using Keigo's house."
"Very well. We shall call you back when we have decided."
TACHIBANA-SANNNN!! CAN WE GO??"
"Uchimura! What-ah I see you have heard our conversation. So does that mean that you would all like to go?"
All the Fudomine Regulars nodded. "Very well then."
"Ah, Kippei. Have you decided?"
"It seems that we have Seichii. We will be going."
"Oh good. Now I just have to let Keigo know."
"I don't understand why it's called a Celebrate-The-Nationals party. I wanted it to be called a Celebrate-Getting-Into-The-Nationals party. It would have been a much better name for it, since Fudomine has never gotten into the Nationals before. I suggested it but no one would listen. I thought that Akira would support me but no I guess our friendship bond isn't deep enough…"
As Shinji ranted on, Tachibana and crew decided what to do at the party. Just then again Tachibana's phone rang…again.
"Ah, Kippei I forgot to tell you that it was going to be a Surprise Pot party, so you guys can bring some stuff that we can actually eat. Mind you some other schools might have tampered with the food so you might want to be careful."
"…"
"Okay then, see you there!"
What have I gotten my team into?
So, with Atobe in charge of the decorations (cuz it's Atobe's house and all), the decorations took a certain theme (ahem, purple). Thus, (poor servants) the preparations for the Start-of-Nationals/We-Made-it-Into-Nationals/Getting-Into-the-Nationals/Beginning-of-Nationals/Nationals/Celebrate-the-Nationals party started…and the colour theme wasn't the only thing that was wrong with this party…
A/N:
Anti: Yeah, I'm sooo sorry for the uber long Hyoutei part, I seemed to have gone overboard with Hyoutei, cuz, yeah, I write Hyoutei fics a lot.
