Dare

Echizen Ryoma gulped down a second can of Ponta, just so Momo wouldn't get it. His trademark smirk was hidden behind the can.

"Echizen!" Momo whines predictably, Ryoma fought down a smile, it was just too easy to tease his sempai.

"Nani?" Ryoma pretended not to notice.

"Can't I have just one drink?" Momo whined.

"No," Ryoma took another long sip. Momo pouted, then a smile worked its way across his face.

"Ryoma," Ryoma glanced suspiciously at his sempai over the can, "I dare you to give me a drink" Momo was quite pleased with himself; the young tennis star couldn't resist a dare!

Ryoma blinked, "I refuse." He took another drink.

Before Momo cold be properly surprised that his genius had failed, a silky voice interrupted them, "Now where's the fun in that?" A shiver ran down both boys' spines. Fuji. The tensai smiled serenely at the two.

"W…what do you mean Fuji-sempai?" Momo rubbed the back of neck nervously.

Fuji's eye opened just enough to cause goose bumps, "Truth or Dare is such a wonderful team building activity, but so predictable," Ryoma gulped, "The dare is much more interesting, ne? Hmm, but we don't have club until this afternoon…" Fuji closed his eyes again and smiled widely, "So we'll just have to play during school!" Ryoma considered which would leave him more dignity, hiding in the bushes or running away screaming.

"How do you play during school?" Ryoma winced, Baka Momo-sempai

"Well, there would have to be some rules of course," Fuji cocked his head slightly, "Let's see; only Seigaku Regular's may participate for one. Only one person may dare at a time, of course, in the typical manner, and you may not dare the person who just dared you. And just to make it interesting, you can't tell anyone what you were dared to do"

"Fuji-sempai, you keep saying dare, what about truth?" Ryoma asked, a feeling of dread had settled itself in his stomach.

"Why, there is no truth of course," Fuji smiled.

"But there has to be another option besides dare!" Momo yelped.

"Well, how about Inui Juice?" Fuji grinned.

"No thank you, now about the other option." Ryoma pressed.

"That is the other option, either you complete the dare, or you drink a pitcher Inui Juice," Fuji said happily.

Ryoma paled, "A whole pitcher?"

"Of course, or it wouldn't be much of a deterrent," Ryoma would have liked to argue with that, but then again, it was Fuji, so things were best left alone. Then an idea struck him, an idea that may make him the team's savior.

"And if I refuse to ask anyone?" he challenged.

Fuji's eye opened slightly, twice in a few minutes, Ryoma gulped and began to pray, "Last one to be dared before the club meets this afternoon drinks Inui Juice." Ryoma numbly gave Momo his can of Ponta, Momo gulped it down as if it were the last thing he would ever drink. "Good luck then, I shall inform everyone of the game" Ryoma gulped, Momo paled, Fuji smiled, the warning bell rang…wait, the bell! Without a backwards glance, or even a moment of sorrow for his Ponta, Ryoma ran into school in hopes of passing off his burden before school started.

"huff huff Eiji-sempai!" the red-haired player turned around.

"Nya? Aa! Ochibi!" Eiji lost no time in glomping onto the boy.

"huff Eiji, puff I dare you t-"

"Nya? Fuji wasn't kidding, huh! Okie dokie, Ochibi, dare away!" he nuzzled the kawaii little star. The kawaii little star developed a twitch, then smiled in a manner that may have been copyright infringement to their dear tensai,

"Eiji, I dare you not to hug anyone today," Ryoma smiled.

"NYAAA!" Eiji straightened, "Ochibi is evil!"

Ryoma merely smiled, "Did Fuji happen to mention the penalty for refusing a dare? Or should I say penal-tea?" Eiji's face lost its color; evidently Fuji had passed on all the rules.

"Nya…aa…okay Ochibi…" Eiji wandered off as the bell rang, looking lost. Ryoma ran to make it to his first class on time.

Oishi was worried (big surprise).

"Eiji, what's wrong?" the Mother of Seigaku asked his usually hyperactive partner.

"Nya…" was the only response he received. Oishi frowned; Eiji wasn't acting at all like himself today. In fact, he hadn't given Oishi his good-morning tackle even!

"Eiji-" he was interrupted by the bell and Eiji suddenly perking up.

"Taka!" the acrobatic player ran from the room with all his usual exuberance.

Oishi felt his heart clench. Taka? He began to gather his books slowly.

"Taka!" Eiji almost ran into the shy boy as he rounded a corner.

"Hello, Eiji," Taka smiled.

"I dare you to…to…" Eiji paused. He hadn't given much thought (meaning none at all) to what he would dare someone. Taka blinked.

"You dare me to do what?" he asked shyly.

"Um….nya…I dare you to…" Eiji spotted Taka's tennis bag, "I dare you to hold a tennis racket all day!"

"Huh? That doesn't seem very practical, Eiji," Taka murmured.

"Nya! Didn't Fuji tell you? You have to do the dare or you have to drink a whole pitcher of Inui's Poison!" Eiji waved his arms to accentuate his point.

"Um, okay," Taka slowly unzipped his bag. Eiji wasn't patient (big shock there), so he grabbed the racket, pulled it out, and shoved it in Taka's hand.

"BURNING!"

"Bai bai, Taka!" Eiji ran towards the cafeteria.

"Pshhhh" Kaidoh was eating his nutritionally complete lunch when he was interrupted by Burning Taka.

"KAIDOH! I DARE YOU TO WEAR THESE PINK RIBBONS IN YOUR HAIR, AND NO BANDANA!"

"Pshhh, where did you get those ribbons?" Kaidoh hissed.

"RIBBONS? FUJI HAD THEM! GREATO!" Kaidoh hissed again. He most certainly couldn't take his rapidly mounting anger out on Fuji, not unless he had a death wish.

"ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR THE RIBBONS? OR ARE YOU GOING TO DRINK THE PITCHER OF INUI JUICE, CHICKEN!" Kaidoh considered developing a twitch, Tezuka had one, and he thought Ryoma had gotten one this morning, as he took the ribbons. Someone was defiantly going to pay for this.

Momo doubled over in laughter, "Oh you look beautiful, Mamushi!" tears were leaking out of his eyes, "Very ladylike!"

"Pshhh" beating the idiot into the tile passed through Kaidoh's mind, but a better punishment soon took its place, "I dare you to sing and dance instead of talking."

Momo stopped mid-laugh, "Huh?"

"You heard me, baka. Start singing, unless you want to drink Inui's newest brew, I hear it glows," Momo just kept his lips pressed shut.

"Pshhh, sweet silence," the viper strolled away.

I'm not sure if this is really worth continuing…this is my first fanfic and the ideas aren't that good.
