Chapter One: The Prank.

"As most of you all know, summer break is approaching. The Ministry of Education of the Kanagawa region will come and inspect our school, Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku." The principal of RikkaiDai announced. "I expect everyone to be on their best behavior, dressing in correct uniform as always, and being polite. Make me proud. The assembly shall conclude here. Please go to your first period classes."

As the students of RikkaiDai filed out their assembly hall, a certain silver-haired boy smirked.

"Puri." He said smugly.

"Niou, what are you planning this time?" Marui, the red-headed self-proclaimed tensai asked from behind.

"Let's just say…the people from the Ministry are going to get a little surprise." Niou replied with an evil grin.

"Hey, did you see the posters around school? It says that it's free dress day next Tuesday!"

"I got a flyer."

"Free dress day? We can wear our own clothes? Awesome!"

"But, isn't next Tuesday the day the Ministry of Education people are visiting our school?"

"Who cares. The school planned it, must be a clash in dates but that's not our problem!"

The corridors were buzzing with talks about the mufti day that was coming up. Girls were already talking about what to wear and boys couldn't wait to show off their new belts or something.

"Niou, don't tell me you did it." Yagyuu asked his teammate in the cafeteria while waiting for their other teammates to arrive.

"And what if I did?" Niou replied.

"It's a very serious matter, the visit from the Ministry. If you get caught –"

"The trickster of RikkaiDai never gets caught." Niou interrupted.

"The consequences you will have to suffer are severe. You could put our whole tennis team on the line." Yagyuu continued.

"Sanada won't be happy if he finds out. Mura-buchou won't be impressed either." Marui stated, popping his gum.

"I repeat once more. The trickster of RikkaiDai never gets caught." Niou said shrugging wearily.

Yagyuu shook his head and stopped trying to make Niou take off the posters. Niou heard his sigh and put an arm around his teammate's shoulder.

"You need to relax Hiroshi. Here, have some sushi. I made it myself." Niou said thrusting his bento box in Yagyuu's face. Yagyuu's expression immediately became sharp.

"Get. That. Away. From. Me." He said through gritted teeth. He was not going to open his mouth.

"NIOU."

"Yes, Sanada?"

"Take the posters off. And destroy all the flyers." Sanada ordered sternly, furious. "If it's not done by tomorrow, you're out of the tennis team."

Niou wanted to argue his case but seeing as his position on the tennis team was on the line, he threw his hands up, surrendering.

"I get it, I get it. They'll be gone, pronto."

"They better be."

"Well, well, well. The person who played the trick himself is wearing uniform." Marui teased when he met Niou at the school gate the following Tuesday morning.

"Marui, Sanada made us promise to wear uniform, remember?" Niou replied, tapping Marui on the head.

"Oh yeah."

The corridors of RikkaiDai were filled with students –wearing their own clothes instead of school uniform.

"I can't believe how many people fell for it!" Niou sniggered.

"Yeah, looks like we're the only people wearing uniform." Yukimura said, walking towards Marui and Niou with Sanada, Kirihara, Jackal, Yagyuu and Renji following closely behind him.

Sanada shot Niou a menacing glare and Niou stepped back.

"Whoa Sanada. I took off all the posters and destroyed all the flyers like you told me to." Niou told Sanada matter-of-factly. "It was their own choice whether to believe the posters and flyers or not. I can't exactly tell them what to do, can I?" Niou added innocently.

Before Sanada could say anything, a flock of girls came stampeding toward the Rikkai tennis regulars.

"KYAAAAAA NIOU-SAMA! DO YOU LIKE MY SHIRT?" A girl screamed.

"MARUI-SAMA! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY MINISKIRT? IT'S THE SAME COLOR AS YOUR HAIR!" Another girl screamed.

Marui mentally barfed. "I'm sure my hair doesn't blind people like your skirt does." He said through gritted teeth.

"YUKIMURA-SAMA. WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR OWN CLOTHES? WE'VE BEEN WAITING A WHOLE WEEK TO SEE WHAT YOU NORMALLY WEAR!" A Yukimura fangirl demanded.

Yukimura said nothing but simply smiled gracefully.

"OH MY GOODNESS. HE SMILED AT ME!"

"NO! HE SMILED AT ME!"

The girls were now edging closer and closer to the tennis regulars. The tennis regulars inched back until they were all squashed up to the line of lockers and they could back up no longer. The girls now encircled the regulars, trapping them.

"SANADA-SAMA WHY DO YOU NEVER SMILE?" A girl wailed.

"KIRIHARA-SAMA! I DYED MY HAIR FROM BLONDE TO BLACK JUST SO IT COULD BE THE SAME COLOR AS YOUR HAIR! DO YOU THINK IT SUITS ME?"

"Senpais, we need to get out of here!" Poor Akaya whispered warningly to his teammates.

"What do you take us as? Idiots?" Niou hissed back to Akaya.

"Everyone, on the count of three, run out between the girl with the blinding skirt and Akaya-colored hair. Split up and run in the direction most convenient for you. The chances of us surviving using this method is 78.9 percent." Renji whispered to his teammates. "One, two, three!"

The regulars sprinted as fast as they could, parting the group of fangirls in the middle. Yukimura and Sanada went in one direction, Niou and Marui went in another direction. Yagyuu and Renji went into hiding in an unused classroom. Akaya hid behind Jackal because Jackal was tall enough to block him out of sight and Jackal didn't exactly need to run away (poor Jackal not having any fangirls. In this case, he's lucky!).

Niou gagged when he reached safety.

"The smell of perfume was way to pungent! My nose is stinging like hell!"

Marui rubbed his eyes.

"That girl killed my hair color and my eyes!"

"Well, we're out of there now. Phew." Niou said breathing a sigh of relief. They were now on the third floor of the building. The same buzz of excited students wearing mufti travelled through the corridor but one student caught Marui's eye.

"Oi Niou, look over there. That girl with black hair at her locker."

"Why? Is she the one that dyed her hair the same color as Brat's? Should we be running?" Niou replied jokingly, not even looking in the direction Marui was motioning to.

"Yes. She is." Marui said sarcastically. "No, Niou, just look."

With a sigh, Niou turned his head. "What's to look at? It's a girl, Marui, it's not like we've never seen one before."

Marui rolled his eyes. "She's wearing uniform." He pointed out impatiently.

"She is?" Niou said, surprised. Niou look at the girl properly for the first time. "I wonder why she isn't wearing mufti."

Niou walked towards the girl and Marui followed.

"Souki Himitsu." Niou said and the girl turned around to face him.

"Niou Masaharu." She said with a blank expression.

"You're in my class right?" Niou asked.

"I've been in your class for the last five years." Himistsu replied flatly, her face still expressionless.

Niou lifted an eyebrow.

"How…nice." He finally managed to say.

"Marui Bunta." Marui suddenly piped up, making Niou look at him. "Fine, I won't say anything."

"So, Himitsu-chan, why aren't you in your own clothes? Why school uniform?"

Himitsu's expression hadn't changed once from when Niou first approached her until now.

"I have a thing called a management diary. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Education visit clashes with the so called 'mufti day'. Which do I choose?" Himitsu answered in a breezy voice but her expression was still neutral.

"I don't fall for pranks, Niou-kun." Himitsu said as she locked up her locker and walked off in the opposite direction.

Niou leaned against Himitsu's locker and watched her walk off. He let out a soft, high-pitched whistle.

"Talk about attitude!" Niou said blinking in disbelief.

"Were my ears deceiving me, or did that Souki Himitsu girl just talk back to you?" Marui said in wonder as he rubbed his ears. "Wait 'til I tell Akaya!"

Niou looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Marui, you heard and saw nothing. Got that?" Niou threated half-heartedly.

Marui popped the bubble he had just blown with his gum. "Why? What're you gonna do to me?"

Niou's eyes glinted they way they always did when he thought of a good prank. "I'll make some sushi especially for you." Niou said acidly.

"I saw and heard, absolutely nothing." Marui said backing away.

"Good."

"What is the meaning of this Yoshizawa-san?" The head of the Ministry of Education questioned the principal of RikkaiDai. "Why are the students dressed in their own clothes? I did not expect this of a first rate school!"

"I don't know what happened either! Today all the students came to school dressed up like, like this!" The principal said gesturing out the window, looking flushed.

"Perhaps," the head of the Ministry said coldly. "Today was not a good day to come and visit?"

"It can be assured that this will never happen again! Whoever did this will be caught and punished! Do come back another time!" Yoshizawa Tsutomu said pleadingly.

"We will have to see if we can fit RikkaiDai in our already busy schedule. You will be contacted. Our visit ends here." The head of the Ministry replied in the same cold tone as he lead his colleagues out the door.

As soon as the people from the Ministry of Education were out of earshot and out of sight, Yoshizawa called his secretary.

"Find the person who told everyone not to wear uniform and send them to my office, immediately." Yoshizawa ordered through the telephone.

"Hai. I will send the person to your office as soon as I find out."

A/N: This is a short first chapter. Tell me what you guys think! Gimme feedback! I think I made some of the regulars slightly OOC?
