OF LOVE AND DISGUISE

Summary:

"I am Fuji Syusuke and I'm in love with my best friend…she's kind, full of charisma, intelligent, and WHAT?!?! A TRANSVESTITE?!?! But despite of that, I still love her but she thinks that I'm just playing with her heart since I express my feelings through jokes.

Chapter 1: asking permission

It was a Friday afternoon and the regulars were having their practice match when Yamato buchou and coach Ryuuzaki gathered all the regulars as well as the team members.

"It's almost the end of the second semester and today we will announce who will be the next buchou among Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke." Yamato buchou said.

Whispers were soon heard after the captain spoke. Everyone was whispering except for the two candidates. They just stood side by side, feeling the tension grew between them.

"Minna," coach Ryuuzaki started. Silence filled the tennis court at once and the tension increases. "As we all know, the two candidates for being the next captain has a unique talent and personality. But only one of them will be chosen."

Momo leaned closer to Eiji and whispered, "I hope it will be vice captain Tezuka, Eiji-sempai. It would be better if our punishment would be running laps than Fuji-sempai's sadistic punishments and it might include Inui's juices."

Eiji gulped and paled at the mention of Inui's juice. "Nya, I hope so. Even if Fujiko is my friend but I don't want him to be our captain. I don't know what will happen to our tennis team if Fujiko will be our captain."

"I wouldn't say that if I were you, Eiji, Momo." Inui said. He was eavesdropping on their conversation. "It would be better if Fuji will be our captain. He would have a perfect menu in our practice with my help." Inui's glasses glinted that made Eiji and Momo sweat profusely. 'Man, I would never have him as my enemy.' Both of them thought.

"But before we announce who the captain is, let us announce who the vice captain is." Yamato said. "Coach Ryuuzaki, would you do the honor in announcing who the vice captain is?"

"Arigatou Yamato. Our fukubuchou for the next school year would be Oishi Shuichiroh."

"Eh?!?!" Oishi was surprise that his name was called. He was even more surprised when Eiji suddenly glomped at him.

"Yay!! Congratulations Oishi!!! You're the vice captain!!!" Eiji shouted at the top of his lungs. Oishi blushed at the realization that he was chosen as the vice captain and as well at the sudden contact with his doubles partner.

"E-e-eiji! I-I-I ca…n't breathe…" Oishi told him a he tried to get his self out of his clutch.

"Oh, gomen gomen…" Eiji said sheepishly.

The regulars congratulated him as well as the other team members.

"Oishi, won't you mind having as little speech?" Ryuuzaki told him, smiling.

Oishi went into the front and faced the regulars. Blushing, he said "Erm… I-I I don't know what to say other than arigato gozaimasu." Oishi scratched his head in embarrassment. The team members clapped at him.

"Now, we will announce the next captain." Ryuuzaki said, turning their attention to her.

'Saa, Oishi is the vice captain… which means that either Tezuka or I will have a position in the tennis team. Mou, I thought that whoever is not chosen among the two of us will be the vice captain.' Fuji thought. He looked at his long time rival and at the same time his childhood best friend and smiled at him.

Tezuka looked at Fuji and gave him a nod before he turned his focus on his captain and coach.

"Our captain for the next school year will be… Tezuka Kunimitsu."Ryuuzaki said.

Tezuka nodded at his coach. He did expect this to happen. He could hear his team mates' clapping and their congratulations. He looked at his friend who smiled at him.

Tezuka went beside Ryuuzaki and the crowd silenced. Tezuka spoke. "Arigatou gozaimasu. Together, let's aim for the nationals. Yudan sezu ni ikou."

The clappings resumed. He could also hear Eiji's shoutings of "Yehey!! Bravo, bravo Tezuka!!"

At the club room…

"Ne Fujiko, too bad you were not chosen as the new captain." Eiji pouted while hugging his best friend. "Ne, are you ok with that??"

Fuji looked at his friend and smiled, albeit a mischievous one. "It's okay Eiji. I don't mind if Tezuka was chosen as the captain. What I'm concerned about is that I know that you're VERY HAPPY that I was not chosen as the captain. I saw you and Momo hugging each other while shouting your relief that I was not chosen as the captain. I was hurt by that, you know."

Momo was stunned after he heard his name. 'Am I going to be Fuji-sempai's next target??' Eiji tensed. "Errr… ano…"

"That's mean of you, Eiji. I thought we're best friends." Fuji gave him a fake pout.

"Nya! We really are best friends!" Eiji defended himself. "It's just that… ano… it's just that…"

"It's just that you did not even care for me, isn't it?"

"No! that's not it! Fujiko!!!!!!"

"Fine…fine…" Fuji laughed. "I know that you don't want me to be the captain because you think that if ever I am the captain, drinking Inui's juices as the penalty would be in my practice menu. Am I right?"

Eiji nodded.

"Well, you're right about that." Fuji mused. "Too bad, I'm not the captain. Maybe I would persuade Tezuka to include Inui's drink in his practice menu."

"FUJIKO!!!!!" Eiji shouted while the other regulars stopped their motion and paled. Tezuka who was sitting in one of the chairs tensed but did not make it obvious to anyone. 'He said he would persuade me, which means… damnit!'

"Ok, ok…I won't." Fuji chuckled at the expressions of his team mates. He took a glance at Tezuka and laughed. He knew what his friend was thinking. "Don't worry, Tezuka. I won't do that."

Fuji checked his watch. "Ooops, time to go. I have to do some personal matters. Ne, let's go Tezuka."

"Hnn…" Tezuka stood and went beside Fuji.

"See you tomorrow Fujiko." Eiji shouted.

"Hmmm… I guess not, Eiji. I do have my own appointment tomorrow and on Sunday."

"What? You never told me." Eiji whined.

"I'm sorry Eiji. Well, just see you on Monday. Ja ne." Fuji and Tezuka bade the regulars' goodbye and off they went.

While walking towards their homes…

"Ne, Kuni-ai congratulations for being the captain." Fuji said as he pinched his friend's cheek.

Tezuka's eyebrow twitched at the petname. Tezuka's deep voice came. "Don't ever call me that, Fuji."

"Nah, come on Tezuka. The street's empty aside from us. No one could hear us and please don't talk to me with that fake deep voice. I wanted to hear your soft, mellow and feminine voice."

"Fuji." Tezuka warned.

"What? No one would ever know that you're a girl disguised as a boy." Fuji shouted out loud.

"Fuji!!"

"Fine. Fine. Just don't get mad, okay?" Fuji chuckled. "Seriously, I did not ever think that the ever intelligent and formal Tezuka Kunimitsu would disguise as a guy and enroll at our school. It's been two years that you're doing this but still, I couldn't believe it."

"You do know the reason why I did this." Tezuka answered with her real voice.

"Now that's the voice that I wanted to hear. The very voice that made my heart flutter." Fuji chuckled as she gave him a venomous glare. "Hey, don't look at me like that Kuni-ai. Ok, ok… I'm just kidding. Back to the topic. I know… you never wanted to wear skirts, make ups and other feminine dresses and the girls' tennis team was not that good but that's not enough reason. Yamato buchou and coach Ryuuzaki already brought your case to the board and they gave you a permission to play at the boys' tennis because there's an old rule that girls are allowed to play at the boys' tennis team. But you're still hanging on in this disguise."

"I know that. You don't have to remind me, Fuji." Tezuka answered. "But still, I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing and there's also one thing that I'm avoiding."

"Fanboys." Fuji said. He chuckled as he remembered the incidents during their elementary years wherein everyday Tezuka's fanboys would try to get a kiss from her. She would run away from them the whole day and could not attend the class because her fanboys were waiting for her even outside her classroom. Her fanboys only stopped when Fuji took her in her waist and kissed her in front of them, saying that she was his since the beginning. From that day on, no one ever bothered her. Well, except for Fuji and their other friend Chitose of course.

"I don't ever want that to happen again." Tezuka muttered. 'And there's also another reason why I'm doing this.'

"Well, I do want that to happen so I could kiss you again." Fuji stated which made Tezuka glare daggers at him, again.

Fuji chuckled even more before changing the topic. "Ne, but you do have fangirls."

"My fangirls were easier to control than my fanboys."

"Hmmm… maybe I would let the whole school know that you are a girl. When that happens, you'll have many fanboys. Even from our rival schools." Fuji wondered out loud.

"YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT." Tezuka hissed.

"On one condition…" Fuji said. His orbs open, eyeing her with full of intensity.

'Uh-oh…' "And that is…"

"You will have a date with me this Saturday and Sunday." Fuji supplied her sentence.

"No. I won't."

"Then I'll tell the whole school about your secret."

"Fine. Do what you want."

They reached their homes. Tezuka bade him goodbye then she entered their gate when to her surprise, Fuji was following her.

"What do you want?"

"I need something from your parents." Fuji answered. His smile was still seen on his face.

"Fine. Come in." Tezuka led him to the living room. To her surprise, her parents and Miroku, her eldest brother, were also there, having a family chat.

"Tadaima." Tezuka uttered.

"Kuni-chan, welcome home." Ayana greeted her only daughter. She walked towards her and hugged her tight. "And you're here too, Syusuke-kun."

"Good afternoon Tezuka-san, Ayana-san." Fuji bowed.

"Hnn.." Tezuka's father grunted.

"So the tomboy is already here, accompanied by her boyfriend." Miroku sneered. He was playing his guitar while eating a lollipop.

A vein popped in Tezuka's head. "I'm not a tomboy Onii-chan. And he's not my boyfriend." Tezuka snapped. "I thought you would not be home until next next week."

"Our school finished earlier than we expected." Miroku gave her a sly grin. "If he's not your boyfriend, who's he to you? Your soon to be boyfriend? Or is it Chitose-kun whom you like?" 'Oh yes, it's good to be home. And it's really great to have a younger sister to tease.'

Tezuka glared at him but did not answer back. She looked at her mother and told her, "Mother, Father, Fuji wants something from you."

All eyes were turned towards Fuji who was standing beside the youngest Tezuka.

"Why don't you take a sit Syusuke-kun." Tezuka Kuniharu offered. Fuji seated himself on a couch opposite where Ayana and her husband seated. "You too, Kunimitsu."

"Hai." Tezuka obeyed and sat beside Miroku. Miroku placed his guitar on the floor and gave his sister a tight hug and whispered. "Maybe he would ask you on a date, Kuni-chan."

"Urusai!" Tezuka answered back. Miroku smirked. 'It's really great to have her as a sister. Stoic to her friends but real moody and fun to tease when it comes to her family.'

"What do you want from us, Syusuke-kun?" Ayana asked.

"Actually, I wanted to ask your permission." Fuji answered. His ever serene smile is present on his features. "I want to ask if it is okay for me to date your daughter." He added with full of confidence.

Everyone was surprised at Fuji's sudden boldness. Miroku leaned at his sister and sneered, "See, I told you."

"Really?!?!?!" Ayana shrieked. "You want to date Kuni-chan?"

"Hai."

Kuniharu eyed Fuji intently. "Aren't the two of you dating? Why are you asking for our permission?"

"Because I told him that I would not go out with him." was Tezuka's honest answer.

"No!" Ayana shouted. "I won't allow it!" Tezuka was relieved to what her mother said. "I won't allow that you two won't go out and have a date!"

Tezuka's face faltered. "Mother!"

"My decision is final, Kuni-chan." Ayana told her. Ayana looked at her husband. "What about you, dear?"

"That's fine by me." Kuniharu answered. "As long as Syusuke-kun is her date, it would be fine by me. And besides, Kunimitsu is old enough to go out on a date."

"Good." Ayana said. She turned to her oldest son. "How about you, sweetie?"

"That's very fine with me. As long as Syusuke-kun is her date. I won't allow any other guy to date my little sister." Miroku answered.

"Now that everybody approved…"

"How about asking me whether I wanted to go with him or not?" Tezuka cut her mother's words.

"Nah, that won't be necessary, Kuni-chan." A voice coming from the main door said. They looked at where the voice was coming and saw that Yuujirou, the second Tezuka son, arrived. He went towards his parents and hugged his mother. "Tadaima, Okaa-san, Otou-san." He turned towards his sister and smirked. "I knew you like Fuji-kun since we were little."

"Your observations are…"

"…correct." Miroku completed her sentence, smirking at his sister who was emitting a deadly aura.

"Our decision is final, Kuni-chan." Ayana said, emphasizing every word. She turned and looked at Fuji who smiled at them.

"Arigato Ayana-san, Tezuka-san, Miroku-kun, Yuujirou-kun."

"You're welcome, Syusuke-kun." Ayana smiled back at him. "So, when will be your date?"

"Tomorrow and on Sunday at about 9:00 am if Kuni-ai is available."

"Don't call me that, Fuji." Tezuka's eyebrows twitched.

"Oh, so you guys have an endearment!" Ayana giggled. "Kuni-ai…what a cute endearment."

Kuniharu suppressed a laugh while Yuujirou and Miroku chuckled. 'Hmmm… things are getting pretty interesting..'

Tezuka sighed. She knew that she will be teased with these by her family for the whole summer.

"It's not really an endearment. I was just used in calling her by that pet name." Fuji answered, still smiling.

"Oh, I see." Ayana said. "Kuni-chan will be available this weekend."

"No Mother, I am not."

"Oh, yes you are…" Ayana, Kuniharu, Miroku and Yuujirou answered in unison.

"I'm not. I have to make my assignments and I have to finish my projects." Tezuka insisted.

"I will be the one to make your projects since I am free this weekend." Miroku answered.

"And I'll take care of your assignments." Yuujirou told her.

"See, you're free this weekend." Ayana smirked at her.

"But I do still have to study for the final exams."

"The exam is next, next week Kuni-chan." Ayana told her. "And besides you can study together with Syusuke-kun. Honestly, your efforts were futile so why won't you give up. And you do have feelings for him, don't you?"

"But…"

"No buts, Kunimitsu." Her father said in his deep, warning tone.

Tezuka sighed. "Okay, fine. I'll go."

"I knew you would, Kuni-chan." Ayana went towards her only daughter and hug her.

Fuji smiled and mentally congratulated himself. He turned towards Tezuka and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow at exactly 9 am, okay?"

"Hnn…"

Fuji faced the Tezuka family and bowed. "Arigatou gozaimnashita."

"It's nothing Syusuke-kun." Ayana said.

"Hnn…"

Fuji left. Yuujirou went behind his sister. "You have a date tomorrow so you don't need this." He took the wig from her head revealing her waist length, wavy golden brown hair and her bangs slightly covering her face, making her look more feminine. Yuujirou throws the wig towards Miroku. Miroku caught it and spin it with his finger.

"Give that back to me, Nii-chan, aniki." Tezuka stood and went towards Miroku to get the wig but Miroku throws the wig back to Yuujirou. "Yadda. You don't need this in your date. Don't tell me you're going to go on a date with him wearing this wig and a guy's clothes."

"No! Of course not!" Tezuka defended herself. Her brothers knew that she would never do that on her date… especially if it's with Fuji.

"Now, now. Stop teasing your sister." Ayana gently scolded her sons. She looked at her daughter who was about to explode. "Sweetie, why don't you take a bath? I know you had a very tough day. And congratulations for being the new captain. Your cousin called and he told me about it." Ayana smiled at her.

"Hai." Tezuka answered. "Arigatou Mother."

"Eh? You're the captain of the boys' tennis team?" Yuujirou and Miroku chorused.

"Yes, I am."

"Ne, maybe Yamato did that because of favoritism. After all, you are his favorite cousin." Miroku sneered.

"But I like it better if Fuji-kun is the captain. That way, it would be easy to control you and to have you for himself." Yuujirou added.

"Now, now. Don't tease your sister that much." Ayana told them again, sensing that her daughter was on the verge of her anger. She took a towel from the closet and handed it to her. "Here. Now, go to your room then take a bath, sweetie."

Tezuka obeyed her mother and went towards her room. "That Fuji, he only wants to play with me like what he did to those girls." But at the thought of their date tomorrow made her blush and her heart pounding.
