This was originally written in an e-mail attachment in Japanese for Yuka-chan on the 5th of December. That's why it's weird and otaku-y. And it's completely pointless!!! I had a Sengoku one, but I can't find it!! --;

I don't own Hiyoshi, Hyoteigakuen, Poky, Jiro's shortness, or Prince of Tennis. Just my 20.5 and my obsession with the word very.

Happy Birthday Shroomy!

In front of the school gate. Morning.

"Piyo!!!"

Hiyoshi Wakashi moved slightly to his left. His 12 cm shorter sempai Akutagawa Jiro rushed past him. He stopped walking and glared at the annoying older boy.

It was completely winter. All of the students had switched their summer uniforms for there winter ones. Since Hyotei was a bit looser with the dress code, many of the students chose to wear scarves and hats and earmuffs. Anything that would make them warm.

It was snowing. This is, as you know, kind of weird in Tokyo. It promised a very cold New Years, which did not make Hiyoshi happy. His family was very, very traditional and they went all the way up Mt. Takaozan for their Hatumoude. It would be very, very, very cold up there. Hiyoshi was very unhappy.

"What is it, Akutagawa-sempai?" Wakashi finally asked with a sigh. Why were his sempais so…different? "You seem very awake today."

"What are you talking about, Piopi-"

"Please don't change my name like that. Especially my family name."

"Today's your birthday! Here's your present!" he shoved a box into his hands.

"…"

It's the though that counts but…

"…Poky?"

"My favorite, Mousse flavor!"

I don't like sweets..., though Hiyoshi, but being the good kohai that he was he thanked his sempai.

Then, just as he was about to go in through the gate, some pulled back on his scarf. He turned to see the "Gakitaishou" Atobe Keigo…san. And Kabaji and for some reason, Oshitari-sempai and Mukahi-sempai.

"What are you doing standing in front of the school gate? An?"

Oshitari placed a hand on Atobe's shoulder. One of the lenses his (unneeded) glasses were shining alone again, but no one bothered to comment anymore.

Very Pointless Flashback

Gakuto: Why do you wear glasses if you eyes aren't bad?

Oshitari: Hi, mi, tu!

Gakuto: That was really scary…

Oshitari: …Can I borrow a pencil?

Gakuto: Don't avoid the subject, Yuushi!

End Very Pointless Flashback

Anyways back to the point that was hardly here In the first place.

Oshitari placed a hand on Atobe's shoulder. One of the lenses his (unneeded) glasses were shining alone again, but no one bothered to comment anymore.

"What he means is: Happy Birthday Shroomy!"

Hiyoshi twitched at the strange nickname. Where did they all come from? …How'd they know about his birthday anyways?

"Ore-sama didn't get anything for you, but Kabaji did. Right Kabaji?"

At least Kabaji was same old Kabaji, "Usu," he said. He put down two presents in front of Wakashi, implying that one of them was actually Atobe's. The ship-in-a-bottle was probably from Kabaji. It always amazed everyone that such a gigantic person was so good at making ships-in-a-bottle.

Mukahi jumped up and down. "Here's mine, Hiyo!" It was a jar of miso, "Use it with your family, miso!"

Now the question that will never be answered, "Does Gakuto know that he say 'Miso' all the time?" As I said, it will never be answered, so I won't answer it.

Oshitari handed Hiyoshi his present with a "Happy Birthday", then left without another word. Hiyoshi stared at what he had gotten him.

"Wine!?!?!"

Before Class

"Hiyoshi! Happy Birthday!"

Ohtori…wait…

"Was it you?"

"Was what me, Hiyoshi?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"No I don't."

"Ohtori."

Wakashi was starting to become impatient. Chotaro could sense that, so he sighed. It wasn't as if it was a bad thing.

"Ok, I told everyone your birthday. What wrong with that?"

"This…" he held out the wine he had gotten from Oshitari.

"Oh, I see." How'd he manage to buy it, anyways…"I didn't expect that…Oh!"

"What?"

Chotaro held out a package, "This one's from me."

Nuresen. Ok, one thing that he could bear. He liked Nuresenbei.

…

But what was he going to do with wine?

End of Part 1

Shishido-san, Haginosuke-kun, and Sakaki Taro (43)-kantoku, will come if I ever work out the afternoon part of this…
