A/N: Thank you so much for the positive reviews for this story. It's a budding story but I hope you'll all catch on to it as it's going to be more of a 'game' than long scenes of emotional trauma.
For everyone who loves Ryoma…all I can say is he gets to "play" in this story!
Enough on this
Read and Review for me please!
..
Playgirl Eugene- Trust me, Ryoma is not going to be the one tortured in the beginning!
abhorsen3- Ryoma's reason for being at Seigaku will be revealed very soon. Especially as to why he was dressed as a girl and why he was glaring at Tezuka in the preview. I hope you will note the differences in this story that brings it apart from my other stories. After all, that's what I strive to do for each of my stories!
Rebecca-sanFujiEijiLVR- It's always nice to get a review from a regular reader! I do hope you enjoy the next chapter as well and do leave a short comment if possible! I'm going by reader's reaction and thoughts right now.
RuByMoOn17- I'm glad you think it's promising. Hopefully you'll stick around?
setsuko teshiba- I always update… I have this policy about not finishing my stories. I hate to disappoint anyone so no matter which story is on hiatus for no matter how long, I will finish it! XD
Heart Br0ken- I'm glad there's no complaint yet… this story is going to differ a bit from my others because Ryoma gets to 'play' more!
fullofmisery- It did seem that way huh? But then again, that's the fun in anticipating!
munkyaround- I'm glad you like it so far… my only hope is that it keeps you interested!
Selyn- Well everything gets explained super fast because these updates should be coming more frequently with winter break approaching so the short chapters may start being released weekly :)
poakkis- That's a key detail in this chapter and it will come to light…much later why he doesn't like Tezuka much.
DemonGirl13- Hopefully you'll stick to this story and review for this chapter as well?

Summary: Fed up with playing with the same crowd, Syuusuke finds a new form of entertainment after wishing on a star for an interesting Fiancée.
Chapter 2: One Week
Fuji awoke early the next morning and glanced over to see that the girl was very much still asleep on the bed next to his. Glancing at the clock, he smiled slightly when he realized that wake-up call was in 5 minutes. Stretching slightly, Fuji sat up and went over to the other bed to examine the girl. Fascinated by the perfection before him, he couldn't help but brush the girl's chin slightly with his finger. Fuji was extremely happy when the girl moved to cuddle closer to his touch. A sigh left her parted lips as she uttered in a deep sleepy voice, "Karupin…"
Fuji's eyebrow lifted slightly after hearing that. He was a bit curious to as who this "Karupin" was now…competition already?
A smile spread across Fuji's face anyways…when Fuji Syuusuke targeted someone, he got what he wanted…and no one…not even Karupin would be able to stand it his way!
Hearing the wake-up call just down the hall, Fuji grabbed his towel and fixed his bed. Heading to the door he opened it just as Tezuka was coming towards his room.
"Good morning Tezuka…have a nice night?" Fuji asked with his usual smile.
"Hn…" Tezuka merely replied, "At least you're up…you have a guest downstairs who is coming up in about 15 minutes… I'm sure you'll be presentable by then?" Tezuka asked looking at his state. Fuji looked down as well to see disheveled pajamas on his slim body…he was pretty sure he had mussed up hair as well.
"I'm pretty sure I'll be more presentable by then." Fuji smiled. Closing the door, Fuji turned to see the girl sleepily stretching.
"Good morning," Fuji greeted cheerily.
"Eh?…Ah…morning." The girl said looking at Fuji's neatly made bed and started to rise as well. "I forgot I had to be up early…I'm not-"
"An early riser?" Fuji finished with a smile.
"…Aa…"the girl muttered. " I'll just go down and use the bathroom…"
"No need, 3rd years have bathroom in their rooms." Fuji said pointing to a door by the corner.
"I though that was a closet." The girl muttered heading there.
"It isn't." Fuji assured. "You may use it first."
The girl didn't answer but went into the bathroom with her gown she had been wearing last night.
"I'm going to get dressed and step out for a bit okay?" Fuji said before the bathroom door shut. He thought he heard a muffled okay so he went ahead and changed into casual clothes since winter break officially started today. Stepping out of the room, he saw Tezuka coming up the stairs with an attractive young lady.
"Fuji…" Tezuka started, "This is your guest for the week I suppose, your fiancée."
Fuji eyes momentarily opened as he viewed the brown haired girl who looked at him innocently and nervously….definitely not his type!
"I'm Minako," She explained softly.
Fuji merely nodded and returned a polite smile back at her. "If you don't mind, I'm going to tidy up my room before you come in…if Tezuka doesn't mind keeping you company for a bit."
"Not at all," Tezuka said bluntly but his eyes told a different story. Fuji merely gave him a sweet smile before opening his door quickly to enter and shut while he thought of what to do with the girl…
Fuji's eyes widened to the point where he stared openly at the sight before him. The girl he had picked up yesterday had a nicely toned stomach packed with abs and well muscled arms with no breast…the girl he picked up yesterday night was no girl!
Glancing at the BOY he noted that the long black hair was haphazardly placed on a head of dark green hair and he was pretty sure girls knew how to slide a dress on…right.
Although he had caught the boy red-handed he didn't look guilty for lying to his savior. Instead he looked angrier that Fuji had walked into his own room without knocking.
"You're a boy?!" Fuji finally said softly
"Aa…" The boy finally said with a scowl
'Well no wonder I was instantly attracted to him.' Fuji thought with a smile. Oh yes, nobody had fooled this Tensai in a long time and to be fooled now was quite interesting!
Fuji walked forward and took the dress from the boy. He went to his drawer and pulled out a short and long sleeved shirt for him.
"I think you'll be more comfortable in this." Fuji offered with a smile
"Domo…" he said accepting it and slipping it on.
'THANK YOU' Fuji thought amusingly as he watched the boy dress. It was a very nice sight…so nice he had forgotten that Tezuka and his "fiancée" was outside. The neck was a bit big so it showcased a good portion of his collarbone and shoulder while the arms were unceremoniously shoved upward to accommodate his shorter arms.
"Fuji?" Tezuka questioned peeking in. He stopped when he saw Ryoma standing there as well with Fuji. Instead of the glare Fuji expected from Tezuka at having a stranger in the room, Tezuka merely gave him a look. "So I see you've met your roommate."
"1st year Echizen Ryoma right?" Tezuka asked walking into the room to extend his hand to the boy.
He nodded. "You are?" he asked bluntly.
"3rd year, Tezuka Kunimitsu; The dorm head for this section." Tezuka introduced himself formally.
"Tezuka huh?" Ryoma repeated with a scowl. Fuji could immediately see the dislike in Ryoma's eyes…what was between Tezuka and him?
"Well then…" Tezuka said grasping the younger boy's hand, " I'm not sure when you came in but your stuff is downstairs-"
"I'll help him move it up since everyone is mostly gone." Fuji volunteered. Tezuka seemed to hesitate about Fuji helping but eventually nodded. He obviously seemed to be suspicious of Fuji's friendliness though…
"I hope you and the others will be good while the rest of us are gone." Tezuka stated specifically towards Fuji who nodded with a big smile.
"We will be!" Fuji confirmed, "Who's staying in the dorms for the week?"
"A couple of 3rd and 2nd years …others from the other divisions as well." Tezuka answered. "I have to get going as well."
"Go ahead!" Fuji said with a smile extending his hand towards the exit.
"I'm going," Tezuka merely replied with a good glare towards Fuji before starting down the hall.
"Ano…Fuji-san…"
Fuji turned to see a nervous Minako. "Oh…I'm sorry you had to wait Minako-chan…Do you want to spend the day together before you have to head home?"
"I'd love to." Minako said with a slight nod.
Fuji nodded, "Then let me help my roommate really quick and I'll meet you downstairs in fifteen minutes?"
Minako nodded and started downstairs while Fuji focused his attention back to the boy in his room.
"So Echizen…right?" Fuji asked with a smile…he was already thinking past this boring day to the rest of the 6 days he had with this incredible 1st year.
The boy nodded as he started to walk past him.
"Where are you going?" Fuji asked, "I haven't even introduced myself yet."
"Doesn't matter," The boy said bluntly, "I'm gonna go grab my stuff."
Fuji opened his mouth to say something else but stopped. Instead he smiled; he loved a challenge and this was definitely going to be one…
"Interested?"
Fuji turned his gaze to a man standing by the door with an open notebook.
"Inui..." Fuji acknowledged, "Are you not headed home?"
Inui shook his head, "They're all taking a trip out of the city so I decided to stay in the dorm…you?"
"Yuuta won't be going home and my parents are another adventure in England." Fuji said with a small smile. "I'll be staying as well…"
Inui mumbled something incoherently as he flipped back a few pages to write that down.
"Inui…give me some information on Echizen…" Fuji said watching Ryoma descend the stairs and disappear downstairs.
"Ah… Echizen Ryoma, 1st year General Study major, Blood type O, birthday December 24th-"
"Get to the personality," Fuji coaxed softly.
Inui, on the other hand, quickly scanned his note for that area. When Fuji was extra polite or coaxing, it meant they had better do whatever the tensai wanted…or else…
"Ummm…he is said to be blunt and cocky…prowess in sports….serious…ummm…"
"Tell me something interesting about him." Fuji commanded.
"Ah….." Inui scanned the page furiously before sputtering out, "He likes Grape Ponta, plays Tennis mainly…he also like Fila items…."
"Something more interesting…" Fuji said with a frown.
"Ahh… well he likes to try different bath slats when he's taking a bath!" Inui said looking up with hope at pacifying the raging tensai.
"I see…" Fuji smiled softly. "Thanks Inui…by the way…"
"Yes?" Inui asked anxiously after trying to slip away.
"How did you find the last part of that out?"
"The bath salt?" Inui asked
Fuji nodded turning towards Inui suspiciously.
"I…I investigated him a bit with some help of his former classmates at Hyoutei."
"Hyoutei? He transferred from there?" Fuji asked a bit amazed.
"He did." Inui confirmed.
"Omoshiro (Interesting)…" Fuji decided as he headed downstairs to help his new roommate bring his things up. After his date tonight, he'd be getting a lot of answers from the boy, oh yes… they had to go over his predicament of last night first!
A/N: Uh oh… Fuji's on the move! But everything WILL settle out right?
Sneak Peek at ch 3: Winter Break
"It seems like you're used to sharing your baths…" Fuji noted with a smile
"I AM a 1st year," Ryoma said sitting back. "Why do you have a big bathroom anyways?"
"Oh…because the dorm head used to be my roommate," Fuji said eyeing Ryoma's perfectly chiseled face.
"What happened to him?" Ryoma asked.
"He had a slight…breakdown." Fuji said with a widening smile that Ryoma didn't see since his eyes were closed and relaxed.
"So how was your fiancée?" Ryoma asked on the spur of the moment.
"She's okay… not my type though…"
"What's your type?"
"Men," Fuji stated clearly
Ryoma opened his eyes and stared at him suspiciously. "You're gay?"
"Bi," Fuji confirmed coming closer till his face was inches away from Ryoma's, "Scared?"
