A/N: 2nd Chapter is up! (already) . Actually, I'm supposed to be posting this next week. But, I finished it early and it's exam week next week (not allowed to touch the computer). So enjoy:)

tennisgirl16- First to review! Thanks for finding it funny. And you'll be seeing more of the sadist (and/or tensai) Fuji Syuusuke in the next chapters.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own POT, its characters, or Fuji Syuusuke. .


The next day, things appeared to be normal at tennis practice. The regulars found it unimportant to talk about CHAOS until after practice. Well, except if it were meant to see people suffer. And I bet you know who would do such a thing.

After tennis practice, the regulars were once again gathered at the clubroom. By the time the others arrived, Inui was already inside with Tezuka. He was holding a box with a small hole able to permit the size of a fist. He passes the box to everyone after he slipped his paper inside. Then, he shook the box and had everyone pick a paper.

The codenames where an embarrassment and a pain in their pride. But after Inui made his announcement earlier in the morning, they just sulked about the sacrifices that a Seishun Gakuen tennis club regular is bound to do.

*flashback*

"Inui-senpai, I'm on cleaning duty. Could you make it fast?" Echizen was annoyed. He was about to make another complaint when Inui presented a new concoction of his which looks (and smells) really bad. Describing it in words would even be a disadvantage for the readers.

Inui smirked and held proudly to his 'masterpiece'. "This will only be quick. Regarding those codenames for CHAOS, Me and my..," He glanced at the liquid in the bottle which is, believe it or not, considered as juice. He wasn't really able to think of a name for the 'drink' yet.

"..juice would appreciate it if you would make the codenames quite unrecognizable. Meaning, it would require a bit of your pride to think of a more.. misleading codename."

"Ehh, why would we do that, nya? Won't it only give us all a hard time in guessing the codenames?"

"Eiji is right, Inui. It will only make it harder." Oishi seconded.

"Hm? I really don't see what's wrong with it. Good idea, Inui." Said the person who loves seeing people suffer.

"Thank you, Fuji." Inui gave a smile used by sadists for expressing appreciation. Fuji did the same. "Everyone, I will only say this once. Make your codenames as unrecognizable as possible. If you ever expose a codename, be it yours or another's, my juice here would be involved. You are also not allowed to give any clues or hints, Understood?"

"But Inui! You said you won't use your.." Kikumaru somewhat hesitated. "..'juices' in CHAOS!"

"Yeah, and how are you supposed to judge if the codename is misleading or not?" Oishi didn't find this fair at all.. more or less an 'idealistic' way of spending the holidays.

"That rule is followed in the main objective of CHAOS. However, this is just a minor detail not within that particular area. Besides, it wasn't written in the contract. See?" Inui held up a neat paper in front of them. They were flabbergasted. I mean, really. A contract?! For this minor event?

"I would be the one judging your codenames after the giving of gifts in CHAOS. By then, your codenames would have been revealed." Inui supplied the answer to Oishi's question earlier.

The regulars who were near to dumbfounded during the whole meeting found the opportunity to finally say what's in their minds. However, protests and complaints were held back by the gurgling sound of the so-called' juice'. As if it were threatening the regulars' systems. And so, the matter was agreed on (rather forced on).

*end of flashback*

Kawamura was the first to pick. He reached inside the hole and picked the first paper his hands laid on. He held the paper close.

WantToBeLovedGuy

Kawamura felt a tinge of sympathy for whoever he is. The codename clearly implied that the person was seeking love and affection. It disturbed Kawamura that the person is just in the same room as him.

Next was Oishi. He was clearly a little nervous. Being the mother hen of Seigaku, it was only quite reasonable that he has the most worries for every matter. He let his hand touch a few papers before picking one.

DreamPursuer

Well, that went quite well. Now who would be the dream pursuer among them? Don't they all have dreams to pursue? Oishi knew that fact. However, he had an instinct that this 'dream' is related to tennis. And when he thought of it, Tezuka and Echizen are the ones with the biggest dreams in the tennis world among them.

Kaidoh came next. He silently wished and prayed to Kami-sama in his mind that he would not pick the codename of a certain purple-eyed rival of his. Or else, punishment would be guaranteed for him.

CockyAngel

Cocky Angel? A cocky angel? Is there such a thing? Apparently, there is. He is just in the same room as Kaidoh. Kaidoh thought for a while. Then, it happened. As if his life suddenly runs out of value. As if the end of the world was in less than a week (maybe it really was). Could it be that Momoshiro was CockyAngel? The cocky part, yes. The angel part, .. Momo has enough confidence and pride to pull that one off.

Seeing Kaidoh, Momo almost gave a laugh. If Kaidoh picked his codename, then punishment would be sure for him, wouldn't it? He had to admit though, he was also quite nervous. You never know if Lady Fate would play the same trick on him.

ChangeOver

What did that mean? Just when Momo was wondering the possibilities of who it might be, he suddenly remembered that he used almost all his allowance on fast food and burger takeouts. Now what? Seems as if he has to go from 9 burgers to 5. Well, it can't be helped. It just can't.

Echizen was next. He just picked the first paper his hands touched. Even if he was really unwilling to participate, he did have worries in finding a gift that would make a person smile. He didn't really have much experience in gift-giving. Sighing, he mentally read the paper.

BeepBeepGuy

Beep..beep ? Way to go, Inui-senpai. The 'juice' proved to be effective when he said that it appreciates if the codenames would be unrecognizable. Echizen doesn't even have a clue. Oh Kami-sama, Are these the kind of names that a member of the nation's soon-to-be number one tennis team would come up with? Great, just great.

Kikumaru wasn't his usual cheerful self. His hand was shaking by the time he reached for a paper. Clearly, he did not want to have anything to do with Inui's doubtable beverages. He knew that one wrong move of exposing the codename, his whole body system would suffer. And that was not how he planned to spend Christmas. He held the paper possessively near him.

HimalayanSpottedCat

Cat? Oh, he loves cats! In fact, he even acts like one. But what was he supposed to do, give a cat as a gift? Present himself as a cat and as a gift? Well, whatever it was, it should have something to do with cats. And there could be no other person better for this task.

Inui thrust the box to Fuji. However, Fuji hesitated. He wanted to pick last. Inui had no choice since his juice isn't a version of Aozu or Akazu. Thus, he suspected that the juice would be of no effect to the tensai (and/or sadist) who has weird taste preference.

"Saa.. why won't you let Tezuka pick first? I'll pick last. Don't worry, I don't mind. Besides, buchou needs attention too, you know." Tezuka wasn't the type to seek for attention. In fact, he just planned on remaining unnoticeable, thinking that it might save a little hope for his dignity. But maybe the captain did need attention. He'd been wanting to protest or rather disagree with this whole 'CHAOS' thing. How Fuji knew that? Tensais have the ability to read minds, I suppose.

At a time like this, when sadists and evil concoctions reign the society, Tezuka knew it would do no good to argue with them. He had left Inui the responsibility of all this CHAOS. He picked a paper from the box just to get it over with. Aren't Tezuka and Echizen alike in many ways?

CalmWind

Wait, that's not even a living thing. And how is he supposed to find calmness in this.. this.. area?

Where sadists and gurgling beverages force you to sacrifice your pride. Where rivals bicker every fifteen minutes. Where people suddenly glomp arrogant freshmen until they can't breathe. Well, Inui (or his gurgling concoction) did say that codenames should be unrecognizable. The person probably picked a codename opposite to his own personality. Now that, of all, made sense.

There were two pieces of paper left. Inui was the next to pick. He picked the second paper he laid hands on. He read it silently.

Nerd

Inui smiled rather evilly. His latest concoction was definitely effective. To think that this person actually bet his pride on the line to call himself a nerd. In a way, Inui felt sad. The person must hate his juice to give such sacrifice. Things never change, ne?

There was only one paper left. Fuji had no choice but to pick it. He doesn't feel helpless though. He gave away his chance to Tezuka. Besides, it couldn't stop him from being a sadist. A genius sadist. What a great combination. When spelled together, you could get 4 letters that could mean the next world war. Or something like that.

ShyMonster

Fuji let out a tender laugh. Or rather, that's what it sounded like. However, for experienced people who had been in his company for years, they took it as if a diabolical plan was forming inside the tensai's brain. You could always choose what to believe.

The picking of codenames was quicker than expected. The regulars were able to leave early, much to everyone's relief and delight.


A/N: Please Review!

I am also open for the suggestions of the possible punishments.. (I need help, to be honest).

I'll be updating next week (hopefully I've finished it by then).

I'd also like to thank one of my bestfriends for thinking of the codenames for me :D
