Niou's April Fools Day
Chapter 2: Marui
"Marui-senpai, isn't it April Fool's day today?" Kirihara wondered as he served. Marui blinked in realization and missed his return completely.
"Oh, so THAT'S why that prank with Jackal and his hair!...", the two said in unison, feeling like geniuses. Well, one was already a genius (self-proclaimed, but still), but... you get what I mean.
"That means that we had better watch out, Akaya! April the first has always been Niou's favourite day!" Marui warned. Kirihara grinned.
"Well, he'll never get us!"
"Yagyuu won again.", Jackal told Yanagi, who was scribbling furiously in his notebook. Yanagi looked up and smiled in appreciation, and Jackal continued to tell Yanagi the score of the match so he didn't have to look up as often.
Jackal's day had gotten off to a bad start. He still had patches of the fake-hair-tattoo left on his head, and he was forced to give an evil glare at the occasional freshman who stared for too long. Already he was dreading the rest of April Fool's day, Niou's paradise.
The worst thing was that Jackal knew he had an accomplice, he had to. There'd be no way he could have gotten a tattoo in his wig without him noticing. Jackal was suspecting Kirihara, as the junior ace often involuntarily helped Niou with things like this.
"Marui wins, 6 games to 4." the scorekeeper called, and Marui grinned as Kirihara glared at him.
"I bet I'll beat you next time, Marui-senpai! I wasn't even trying then!" he challenged. Marui rolled his eyes and let the kid off the hook for now.
"Good work everyone, practice is over." Yukimura called, and the remaining matches quickly ended while everyone cooled down.
"Finally, I'm starving!" Marui grabbed his tennis bag and looked for the slice of cake he always stored in it. He found it and pulled it out of his bag, satisfied. Kirihara looked the cake with greedy eyes, but stopped after Marui pulled the cake away from his eyes and hurriedly unwrapped the plastic so he could solve his hunger.
"Marui-senpai, that's so mean!" Kirihara complained with a pout. Marui glared and took a bite out of his cake.
"No, it's mine- UGH!" Marui covered his mouth with his hand and looked like he had eaten something revolting. "There isn't supposed to be mint! This is a strawberry cake!"
In annoyance, Marui pulled out the cake and inspected it closely.
"What? This isn't vanilla icing! It's... it's..." Marui trailed off in horror.
"It's mint toothpaste." Yanagi informed, trying to be helpful. Marui sped off to the washrooms with a cry.
"That wasn't very nice, Niou-kun." Yagyuu scolded.
"Puri."
