Wow! So many people liked my story! Thank you all so much!

I'm so happy! Heheh

'I wonder why Marui-senpai cares so much' Kirihara thought as he laid in his bed that night, he hadn't told his parents about the possible suspension nor did he tell any of the regulars. Normally he would have kept this to himself and figured a way out on his own but when he looked into Marui-senpai's violet eyes, he saw something that just didn't feel…. normal.

He felt like he wanted to make the senpai happy in whatever way he could, he wanted to see the red head smile and not look at him with that stern face of his that seemed so out of place. He felt his heart race and his face hot when they brushed fingers on the books in the hall way, he felt so comfortable talking with the upper classman on the way to the science room, and when he looked at him with those violet eyes of his that clashed so well with his red hair, Kirihara didn't know what to think in that moment.

"Damn it! What the hell is wrong with me?!" grunting the second year sat up and looked towards his desk by his bed reaching up to grab one thing from the light colored table.

Holding the object in his hand tightly Kirihara smiled and let his eyes dim to let childlike orbs stare at the picture frame he held so dearly too. It was a picture of the team, one day when Yukimura-buchou decided that the team should go out as a group and hang without tennis they decided….well more like Niou-senpai planned the team to happen upon a train trip to the beach for a day. The picture was taken when the sun was still high in the blue sky with Yukimura-buchou waving at the camera standing in the back with Sanada and Yanagi, both folding their arms but seemed to be more relaxed.

Yagyuu was busy pushing up his glasses as Niou was caught by the camera about to put a crab into Jackal's swimsuit. All of this happening while he and Marui were in the front the red head an arm around him as he made a peace sigh with his fingers, green bubble covering half his face as he himself was smiling.

Kirihara let out a light laugh as he focused in on the red headed so called genius, studying his face and body before long Kirihara found himself staring and in turn the boy blushed deep red, turning as if he were really caught looking at the upper classman.

Putting the picture back on his desk Kirihara sighed and pushed his black hair away from his face, it was really weird. He had never felt this odd about the red headed senpai before so why now? It couldn't have been because the guy said you would help him with this problem because he was sure if Jackal-senpai did the same thing he was sure he wouldn't feel this way about the Brazilian-Japanese; so why with Marui-senpai?

"I'm not going to get anywhere with questioning myself senseless" Kirihara stood up and stretched before he headed down towards dinner before his mother called him. Right now this wasn't what he had to be thinking about, right now he had to focus on the person who framed him.

Marui-senpai could wait.

"Hey brat!" stopping in mid step Akaya slightly grimaced when he realized that it was Niou-senpai who called him….not that anyone else called him brat, to his face at least.

"What is it Niou-senpai?" not liking that smile on his silvery blue haired upper classman, one bit

"I hear you groped a girl's butt"

"What?!" flushed red the junior fully turned to his senpai, wide eyed "who told you that?!" a part of him didn't want to know, he didn't want to find out that the one person who he trusted his problems too told them to the world, but before he had a chance to close his mouth the question was already spoken

"It's the new rumor you mean you didn't know? Hah you didn't notice how everyone was looking at you at morning practice?"

"...now that you mention it..." if he thought about it for a while it was indeed true, this morning most of the guys on the team were looking at him weirdly a bit darker than usual, it didn't mean anything to him at the time but now….

"So was the girl's ass big?"

"How the hell should I know? I didn't do it!"

"Really?" the trickster looked at the team baby in disbelief

"Yeah! I'm not like you Niou-senpai"

"Heh not yet Akaya but soon you will be"

"What's that suppose to mean?" looking oddly at the much taller teen, Kirihara couldn't react before the trickster landed his large hand on his head,

"You'll see in do time but anyway good luck with that girl!"

"You're not going to help me?" finding that it was odd that since he and Niou were the two best pranksters in Rikkaidai history they would be closer than himself and Marui; so to find that Niou wasn't going to offer help when the red head did seemed odd to the second year.

Staring at the silvery blue haired senpai for a while seeing the guy look like he was actually thinking, until the same smile made its way onto his large face as he patted Kirihara's head like the baby he was,

"I don't think so brat, it's a whole lot more fun watching you squirm"

"Bastard"

"So sue me" as he turned to leave Kirihara let out a sigh as he couldn't help feel a bit happy at the fact that Marui-senpai wasn't the one who told about his problem. 'At least I can count on one person.' As Kirihara turned to walk back to class before break ended a person suddenly stood in his way.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Uh umm my name is Tsubakino Yemi and y-you don't know me Kirihara-kun but I-I really like you!" bowing with a huge blush along her cheeks, not seeing the shocked orbs of Akaya.

"What the hell?" who the hell was this girl?

"I really like you Kirihara-kun and umm I-I want to be your girlfriend!" bowing lower she hid her face from the second year,

"I don't even know you"

"I know but if you give me a chance!"

"Heh better try another guy girl, I'm not interested in relationships" walking off when the girl held onto his arm, placing it close to her chest.

"Please tell me what your type is Kirihara-kun! And I'll be that girl! I promise!"

"I said no now get off" looking hard at the girl's eyes she finally let go of his arm as he walked off, his hands still deep in his pockets. Not seeing the look of determination in Yemi's pink eyes.

As the rest of the day pasted Kirihara had to deal with the many dirty looks he was receiving from both girls and guys.

'Damn it how long is this crap going to last?! I didn't do that damn thing!' clenching his fists in his pockets Kirihara made his way up to the roof for lunch away from everyone; giving himself to relax.

Upon opening the roof door the second year found that the roof was deserted and to his liking as the sky was shining bright azure hidden behind a handful of shattered puffs of white fluff. Laying down on the ground as he cast his peridot eyes t the sky making sure not to look at the sun; Kirihara closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

Poke. Mmm w-what the hell is that?

Poke. Damn it there it is again!

Poke. God! What the hell! Stop bothering me!" screaming angrily Kirihara opened his eyes to stare into violet.

"M-Marui-senpai w-what are you doing here?"

"I see you're awake now" looking around Kirihara wasn't sure how long he had slept but he was sure it was one hell of a nap!

"What time is it?"

"Hmm around 11:35 don't worry lunch just started"

"Damn it I only slept for about five minutes then"

"Hah stop complaining Akaya you'll just sleep in your next class"

"Tch" pouting as the third year sat down beside him, the two were quiet for a while until Marui took out his own lunch; seeing Kirihara look at it hungrily Marui made a smile that would have made Niou proud.

"Want some?"

"Yeah" watching the so called tensai break his chopsticks in half and aim for his sushi picking up a huge one filled with crab meat Akaya realized he was more hungry than he thought. Licking his lips unconsciously the second year didn't sense a pair of eyes on his now moist lips.

Taking the piece of sea food out of his bento Marui placed it in his lips and turned to Kirihara, "If you want it take it" the smirk widen on his face as Akaya flushed red and looked at in with shocked eyes

"Y-you can't be serious Marui-senpai!"

"I am, you're hungry aren't you Akaya?"

Gulping Kirihara moved a bit closer to the red head, normally he would have back talked the upper classman and go off to sit someplace else where he couldn't see the food he wished he had, do to the fact he didn't have money to buy his own. Akaya flushed red against himself and opened his mouth, slowly getting closer to the piece of sushi half hanging from his senpai's mouth; when the very sushi disappeared into the tensai's mouth hidden behind a smile.

"Ah Marui-senpai! You liar!"

"Too slow Akaya, too slow" sitting back the black haired boy folded his arms and pouted trying his best to hide his blush.

As Akaya was busy sulking Marui was busy trying to calm his beating heart, when he first watched the boy lick his lips it seemed so…hypnotizing he couldn't help but stare and before he knew what he was doing he was already busy teasing the boy; only to chicken out in the end.

'What is wrong with me?!' shaking his head Marui felt slightly guilty the kid was lunch less so out of the goodness of his heart he shoved his bento into the juniors face; forcing the boy out of his world.

"Take one" Marui said avoiding Akaya's cautious eyes, before he felt the kid take a piece as the two ate in silence. Before long the sushi was gone and the two tennis players were full, well not really as Marui took out a bag of candy from his pocket.

"Damn that's a lot of candy Marui-senpai"

"Duh you think I don't have extra at hand?" taking a piece of yellow wrapped hard candy from the bag he handed the bag to his kouhai, much to his shock

"You're letting me have some?"

"Yeah don't you want any?"

"Yeah but you never give your candy away, not even to Jackal-senpai"

Looking away from the second year, Marui's shoulders slumped "I couldn't find any information about that person who framed you"

"…"

"So I'm letting you have some of my candy as a token"

"Marui-senpai…"

" Sorry Akaya"

"Stupid senpai"

"What?!" looking back at the junior ace, he met with a flick to his nose; just as he did to the kid yesterday.

"I didn't think it would be easy to find this person senpai, so it doesn't matter"

"But Akaya you only have until the end of this week"

"Don't worry…I'll find this person who framed me no matter what" Kirihara's voice stern and serious as he looked at his senpai,

"No you won't"

"Huh?"

"We'll find this person" lifting his right arm up, Kirihara took awhile before smiling back as he lifted his left arm to hit with the red heads.

"Yeah."

Me- Kya! I just had to add that cute sushi part! Can you guys picture it in your head?!

How cute would that scene be!! anyway thank you everyone for reviewing the last chapter!

I hope you'll do the same here!
