"We have a new student today." The sensei announced on an unsuspecting Friday.

Murmurs and hushed voiced immediately erupted. "This time of the year?" "Woah! She must be smart!"

A girl, dressed Seigaku's school uniform, walked in, her face split in a wide smile.

Fuji noticed Tezuka, flinch beside him. Saaa, does Tezuka know this girl? Fuji was curious, what kind of girl was she, to be able to get that kind of reaction for the Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"Ohayou gozaimasu. Watashi wa Rika Izumi-desu. Yoroshiku ne?" the girl's clear voice dragged Fuji away from his thoughts.

The whole class upon setting eyes in this new girl erupted into cat calls and date offers. The girl merely smiled, though her eyes were focused on only one particular person in the room.

Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"How about you tell us a little bit more about yourself, Rika-san?" the teacher prompted once the chaos was silenced by a harsh glare.

"I'm a childhood friend of Kunimitsu's." Was the only thing she said. Is that why Tezuka flinched? Fuji sneaked a glance at Tezuka, he had his usually stoic face, but there was something different. Something he couldn't quite put a finger.

Upon hearing whose childhood friend she was, everyone turned heads.

"Man, Tezuka just ruined my chances of scoring that chick!" "Awww, how can we compare to him?" Fuji chuckled at how quickly their minds were changed.

Tezuka ignored these comments and Fuji's smile widened. He loved knowing things others didn't. Things such as Tezuka would never go for that girl and Tezuka wasn't exactly straight, but more importantly, Tezuka was his lover, his lover.

Fuji chuckled. "Maaaa, Tezuka. She is quite pretty, ne?"

His lover refused to answer.

"Alright, then. Rika-san, since you already know who Tezuka-san is, sit in the seat beside him. And Tezuka-san, would you mind showing Rika-san around and maybe introduce her to new friends?"

Tezuka stiffened slightly.

"..Hai, Sensei," Tezuka replied reluctantly. Rika smiled and Fuji's smile faltered a bit. He didn't like this new girl the moment she entered the room. There was something not quite right about her..

Rika sauntered over to the desk beside Tezuka, though this time her gaze was fixated on Fuji, and her lips were curved in, what one might describe as a smirk.

"Oi, Fujiko! Over here!" Eiji yelled, waving his arms frantically, trying to catch Fuji's attention. Fuji usually ate with Tezuka, but he guessed he was probably busy showing Rika-san around.

Fuji wasn't jealous, no, not at all. Though Rika-san was Kunimitsu's childhood friend, he had chosen him, not her. He was his current lover, not her, and more importantly Tezuka was definitely not straight.

With that, Fuji forced a friendly smile and walked over to his red-headed friend. "Nya, Fujiko I heard there's a new girl!" Eiji chattered excitedly. Fuji's smile drooped a bit.

Fuji chuckled. "You heard correctly."

"What's she like?" Is she pretty?" Eiji continued to ask.

"Saa….."

"Mou, Fujiko! Don't' keep this all to yourself. Tell me! I bet she's beautiful, isn't she?"

"Saaa, that wouldn't matter to you would it? Seeing as you have a certain someone to spend the whole night with everynight," Fuji winked as Eiji face turned scarlet.

Oishi took this wonderful moment to make his entrance.

"Ahh Fuji, Eiji, I was looking for you." Eiji jumped a bit, but presented his lover with a smile.

"What is it Oishi, nya?" Eiji asked.

"Well, Tezuka told me to tell you guys that practice will be extended till 5:30 today. It seems that Ryuzaki sensei has something to tell us as well as a new training schedule. You guys might want to cancel your plans for the afternoon."

"Awwwww! I was going shopping with nee-san! We were going to refill on toothpaste!" Eiji whined and pouted. Fuji didn't miss the adoring look Oishi sent at Eiji. Fuji's heart gave a small twist as he thought of his boyfriend who was currently with another girl.

"Saaa, Eiji you might want to call your nee-san then. I'll be seeing you guys later, I just remembered something I had to do." Fuji said with a quick wave.

-00-

In truth, he had nothing to do, he just needed a quiet place to think. That place would be the rooftop, he decide. As he climbed up the stairs of his school, he was met with a girl whom he didn't quite recognize.

"Maaa, can I help you?" He asked the girl currently blocking his way.

"My name is Rika Maiko." Something flickered in her eye.

"Is there something you need from me, Rika- san?" Fuji asked.

Suddenly, Fuji realized something.

"..Could it be you are Rika Izumi's sister?"

"Heh. I guess they call you tensai of Seigaku for a reason, though I highly disagree with that title." She replied, voice dripping with obvious sarcasm.

Fuji ignored it.

"Is there something you need from me, Rika-san?" he repeated.

"Yes, as a matter of fact. Your absence…. From a certain Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Fuji flinched inwardly. Did she know?

"And why is that?" Fuji's smile was frozen in place.

"Because my sister likes him. You're a nuisance, always tagging along beside him. I really wonder why the Tezuka Kunimitsu would bother with someone like you." Fuji bit the inside of his cheek from biting back a retort.

"I'm sorry I don't think that will be possible. Kunimitsu and I are very close friends, classmates as well as teammates." Fuji smiled sweetly, purposely using his lover's first name.

"Hmm. You won't be sorry for long. What Izumi wants she always gets." With that Maiko stepped forward and pushed.
