Hey, sorry for not being that good at english, but I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it :)


DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE HIS TENNIS STYLE (Kinky Pair)

Chapter 1 - Hate

I hated his tennis… It was so stupid! Always getting data, data, data… That's such an idiotic way to play!

People like me play with everything we've got, while he's just messing around and make fun of people with his friggin' data!

I sat there and tried to keep the irritation to myself, but after while, I couldn't take it anymore.

"Bucho, can you tell me again why I have to be paired up with him??"

That was the third time I asked.

"My, my… Don't you like Yanagi? He's a nice guy, you know?" Yukimura said with a smile. Sanada was sitting beside him and frowned, being bucho's contrast like always.

"It's not about that! I'm just asking WHY on earth I have to be paired up with him. Why exactly HIM?!"

"Because you guys are the only ones who're left. I'm the captain, and I have Genichiroh, who is the vice-captain. We already have two doubles pairs, the first one with Yagyuu and Niou, then the second with Jackal and Marui. The third doubles pair will be you two - Yanagi and Kirihara."

"But I don't want to be paired up with him!" I didn't have anything against Yanagi-sempai, but how can we work together if I don't even like the way he plays?

"Right now, I don't want to be with you either," Yanagi mumbled while writing in his notebook as he always did.

"Don't come with those kinds of unnecessary comments! If you don't like me, don't tell me about it!"

Of course I didn't really care about Yanagi, but his comment made me even more irritated.

He didn't have to be so mean! "I don't want to be with you either" my ass!!!

Yanagi sighed. "It's not that I don't like you…"

"Then what?!"

"I said Right now, I don't want to be with you - Mostly because you are so hot-headed and get angry easily. But you should never judge a book by it's cover, so that may change after we've tried working together."

"Now you're referring me to a book?!"

Yanagi didn't answer, but continued concentrating on his work. He dares to ignoring me, ha?!

"I'm sure it will work out somehow…" Yukimura glanced at Jackal and Marui. "They didn't like each other at first either, but just take a look, now they work pretty well together."

"What are you talking about? We've always been best friends," Marui said and blowed a bubble.

"Yeah, right…" Jackal said ironically. Of course they didn't get along at the beginning…

"It's Yukimura's decision, you can't protest!" Oh, how I hated Sanada…

That bastard always sat there on the bench and did nothing, while the rest of us had to run around and become exhausted.

His way of being lazy was even worse than Yanagi's!

"Thank you so much, Genichiroh," Yukimura smiled at the vice captain, and he smiled back.

'I'm sure it will work out somehow' my ass! 'It's what Yukimura wants, you can't protest!' my ass!

Uh, wait… Why is it always my ass? Oh well… 'Thank you so much, Genichiroh.' his ass!

Are they lovers or something?? Always backing each other up like that!

Wait… You don't need to be lovers to back someone up, do you…? Ah, Whatever!

I really do care for bucho, like those times he was ill and had to stay in the hospital…

I was seriously worried! But when he and everyone else are against me like this…

"Why do you guys always have to be against me?!?! Why can't even one single of you be on my side and understand my side of the story for a change?!?!"

Shit… Did I just say that out loud?

Everyone stared at me. Yay, I got their attention now. Haha, the look on their faces are so funny!

Oh wait, the only one who isn't looking at me is Yanagi… He's ignoring me again?! Uwaah, I'm so irritated!!!

"I didn't know you felt that way," Yukimura began. "If you feel that we don't understand you, why not talk with us about it?"

"I don't care anymore! I'm leaving for today…"

"Wait Kirihara," Marui spitted out his gum and put a hand on my shoulder.

I, who really liked attention and loved to see others suffer, pushed his hand away and left with the words "I hate you all…"

"And here I was, spitting out my gum to try to talk seriously with you!" Marui shouted after me.

-

On my way home, I was very proud of myself. Now they were all worried… Serves them right for insulting me!

But in the same time, I felt pretty irritated… While everyone seemed to care about me, that… That… That bastard didn't even take his eyes away from his notebook! Not that I can see his eyes, but…

Just think about it, he didn't look at me, not for even one second!

"Akaya…"

When I turned around, I saw Yanagi.

"Yanagi-sempai, what are you doing here?!"

I was surprised to see him there. Did he run after me? Then maybe he did care about me after all…

"Since you made that ruckus, Yukimura called it a day and let us leave. Now, don't just stand there in the middle of the road, I can't pass…"

How could I be so stupid?! Of course he didn't run after me! I'm an idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

"Well…?" Yanagi waited for me to move.

"Don't want too…"

"What?"

"I said I don't want to!"

What on earth am I doing? I'm really losing my cool right now… But I can't help it, this guy makes me so irritated! There's no way I could pair up with him!!!

"I see…" Yanagi turned around and walked away.

"Ooi, where the heck do you think you're going?!" I shouted after him.

"I'm taking some other roads to get home because some wannabe-devil boy got in the way…" Yanagi said and walked away

"I HATE YOU!!!" I screamed after him. Yanagi stopped for a second or two, but then continued to walk and didn't even seem to care. AH! How I just hated this guy!!! - And myself, for being so upset about this…
