Powerful Rikkai Dai
02 – Yukimura and Sanada
Your POV
"That wasn't really that scary!" Riku exclaimed, stretching as the two of you walked out of the dressing room. You massaged your head, while sighing. "Want to go check out the boys?" She asked, turning to face you, still walking.
"I don't really-" You started off, yet you once again got cut off. No one really did listen to you!
"Please!" She begged, her blue eyes widening. "I got a cousin on the team and he's really cute!"
"If you are about to say you'll introduce me, then it won't help."
"Are you psychic?" She asked, smirking.
"I don't really-"
But did she listen? Not at all … In stead she just grabbed your hand and dragged you on, ignoring your protests and yells of kidnapping. A few of the girls looked after the two of you and you tried grabbing onto the nearest.
"Help … me!" You begged.
"Nadjai-chan, stop it already!"
"I told you to call me Jai, darn it!"
Finally she stopped up and you got up from the ground. That small girl was that strong? You pondered, looking her up and down. Hidden muscles or something? But then you turned your attention upwards onto Riku and noticed her … drooling? You stared at the saliva running down her chin.
Your brow furrowed, as you looked around for whoever she was staring at. "Err? Either you have some sort of attack or you've seen a hot boy?" You asked.
As if hypnotized, she raised her hand and pointed up ahead. You followed her finger and saw her pointing onto the captain from earlier. "Oh- What?! Him?"
"Isn't he just gorgeous?" She asked, sighing heavenly.
"I can't say that …"
"Oh, hello girls." A somewhat familiar voice said from behind you and a shadow fell over. A shiver went up your spine and you slowly turned around, coming face to face with the captain.
"Hi." You just stated.
She looked at you. "What kind of greeting is that to a sempai? And even your own captain?!" She asked, faking being shocked. You only rolled your eyes, not even wanting to discuss it with her anymore. I'm still not a part of your team …
"At least I greeted you …" You muttered, motioning to Riku, who was still drooling over the boys' captain.
"What's with her?" Miku asked, slightly worried about her team member.
You shrugged. "I think she has an obsession with boys or something …" You explained. "And right now she is drooling over the captain."
"EH?" The other girl exclaimed, starting to shake the girl. "You do what?!"
Your eyebrow flew up into the air right away and a smirk spread across your face. "Oh …"
Her attention was turned to you, nervously looking at you. "Oh what?"
You snickered. "You like him? Don't you?"
"No way!" She stuttered, cringing her hands together. "W-why would I?"
"If you at least could not stutter, it might convince me." You said, turning your attention back to the courts and the mentioned captain, who was … on his way over.
"What are you guys doing here?" He asked, stopping up at the fence. He looked to all of you. First Miku; who was looking rather flustered. Then Riku; whose eyes were fixed on him and drooling. The last one was you, who were snickering like a maniac.
"I have no idea what is going on … and I don't think I want to either." But then he chuckled. "Mika … Are you blushing?"
She snapped out of it right away and hid her face with her hands. "N-no! I don't!" She turned around. You looked interested at her, but felt the other captain's gaze on you, so you quickly stepped around.
"Did you do that to her?" He asked.
"I think so …" You tried remembering what had happened earlier.
"Well done!" He gave you the thumps up. "I've never seen her blush before, and we've been friends forever-"
"You have?" Once again you smirked. "Really … How interesting …"
"It's not interesting at all!" Your captain snapped, turning back to you. "There's nothing going on between the two of us!" She gasped and slammed a hand over her mouth right away. But it was too late; she had already said it out loud.
You stared at her, mouth completely open. You couldn't believe she just said it. Damn, I wanted to have fun, tormenting her about it!
"M-Miku?" Zen asked, confused. "What do you mean?"
This time it was your turn to keep yourself quiet with a hand, just to make yourself not burst out laughing. This was getting more and more fun! The two seniors of yours looked at each other.
"Do you … like me?" He asked. She nodded, not able to hide a blush with her hands.
"W-what about you?" She whispered.
"I …"
They looked into each others eyes, both having a tint of redness across their cheeks. At that moment, you so very much wished you had a video recorder. But then, suddenly it evolved into something, which you had quite not expected. In the blink of the eye, they were all over each other.
Your eyes widened. "That is just so wrong!" You exclaimed, freaked out. Those two, you figured, must have liked each other secretly for ages to turn out like that in a spit second. In the end you decided to just ignore them and let them … finish that in as must secret they now could, in the middle the tennis courts. You turned back to Riku, who too was staring at them, jaw unhinged.
You used a finger to close her mouth. "Get over it already." You told her.
She blinked and looked at you. "I guess he ain't single any more?" She asked.
"Yeah …"
She shrugged. "Oh well, just got to find someone else then, no?" Apparently, she completely didn't care.
"Good you get over a crush that easily …" You muttered.
"Yeah, I know! It's a special gift!" She smiled, not noticing you rolling your eyes. Then she started looking around once again, going into search mode. You followed her head, as it turned over all the courts.
"Looking for someone special?" You asked.
"Yeah! My cousin." She winked at you. "As promised, I'm going to forge you two together!" Your mouth dropped the second time the last hour and you stared at her.
"What? Force?!"
"I said forge."
"Oh … But still! You can't just put people together! It's just not right! Haven't you heard of peoples free will?!" You continued with your righteous speech, but your friend just completely ignored you and in stead focused on finding her cousin.
"Ah!" She clapped her hands together. "There he is!" She beamed at you, while you only cut yourself off, sighing. Here we go … "Oi! Seiichi-kun!" She called across the courts. All the boys turned and stared. You grimaced and turned around, acting as if you didn't know the person next to you. Though, the only thing you came to face, was Miku and Zen still making out. "Oh my God! Don't you people breathe?!" You exclaimed.
But then you felt Riku tap your shoulder and slowly you turned around again. She stoo there, smirking at you. Next to her stood another freshman. He had half long, curly, purple hair going to a little above his shoulders and his eyes were the same colour. He was a little taller than you and looked … well, cute!
He looked at you pretty much as puzzled as you did. "Um, Riku-chan, why did you call me over in the middle of practice?" He asked. Riku hugged him from behind and whispered something in his ear.
You raised your eyebrow and tried to hear, what was being said between the two. "Huh?" He asked and leaned closer and she repeated. Then he looked shocked at you. Your nose cringed, as you stared at the two.
"What are you whispering about?" He asked questioningly. Once again Riku clapped her hands together and pushed the boy closer to you.
"Now! Introduce yourself!" She ordered him. He glanced back at her and she gave him the thumps up.
"Do you know, what is going on?" He asked.
"I think she is trying to play cupid …" You muttered.
"Ah …"
"Anyways, let's just play her game for now! I'm Fujika, Nadjai, nice to meet you!" You smiled at him, bowing. "Class 1-1!"
"Nice meeting you too, I'm Yukimura, Seiichi, 1-3."
Riku stood behind the two of you, happily pressing her hands against each other, holding them to her chest. "Ah, young love!" She suddenly exclaimed, making the two of you turn and stare.
"Huh?"
"I knew it! You are such a lovely couple."
Absolute silence …
"What are you talking about?" You asked. "We're just saying hi."
"Love!"
"… I have no comment …" You stated, wondering how you ended up with a weird friend once again. You turned back to Seiichi, but found him completely frozen, as his attention had fallen onto the two captains.
"What is going on?" He asked, a little worried.
You gaped. "You people still don't breathe?!" You took a deep breath yourself. "You should just forget you saw that …" You muttered. "I'm not quite sure how it ended up like that."
"Ah …"
"Love …"
"Shut up Riku." You shook your head. "There's too much love in the air …" Then you looked at Yukimura again. "Want to move a little away from here, it's making me sick …"
He shrugged. "Sure …"
The two of you made your way away from them, hoping they wouldn't get noticed. Well, the two captains were too busy with … yeah, and Riku was like a recorder broken and playing the same over and over again. Love.
"So, you're a part of the tennis club too?" Yukimura asked.
You shook your head. "I can't really say I am, but somehow everyone thinks I am. I don't how it ended up like that, since I was only here so Riku wouldn't be alone, but then I got attacked by the captain … and forced to join."
He looked at you with a raised eyebrow. "I see …"
"What about you? Got forced too, or do you enjoy playing tennis?"
"Well, I joined on my own. I've been playing tennis for quite some time-"
"Do you enjoy it?" You cut in.
"Sure …"
You stopped up a little away from the three and looked through the fence at the rest of the team. Most of them had taken the absence of the captain as a chance of getting a break, while the freshmen quickly had taken over the courts. The sound of tennis balls being hit filled the air, but it wasn't rapidly – as most of the freshmen still weren't able to hit the ball more than once or twice.
"Ever competed in competitions?" You asked, watching a doubles match, which slowly ended up in chaos. One of them got hit in the head by a passing ball and blacked out right away. You raised your eyebrow and hoped – for the safety of the tennis team – that the two captains would soon end their relationship, since else most would be dead within the week.
"Yeah, I've been to a few."
"Hm … You've won any?"
"Yeah, a couple."
"That's pretty cool." You said and smiled at him. "Though I don't like tournaments, I still think it's pretty cool to be that good-"
"You don't like tournaments, how come?"
"Ah, that's just a weird idea of mine." You laughed, but then …
You suddenly noticed someone on one of the courts, playing. Someone you knew. I think I'm going crazy? You thought, wondering if you were hallucinating or what. Perhaps mom put something in my bento? But then, as a gust of wind blew of his cap, you smiled, positive it was him.
"Nadjai-chan? Is something wrong?" Yukimura asked, trying to catch your attention again.
"Eh?" You blinked a couple of times, looking back at him. "Oh, sorry about that, Seiichi-kun, but-" You passed by him. "I just saw someone I know!" And so you left, leaving him all alone with a slight feeling of … getting dumped?

Normal POV
"Gen-chan!" His eyes widened, as he heard a girl's voice from across the court. He closed his eyes for a split second, praying to God it was only something he imagined. But as he opened them again, he saw her, running over the court next to him. "Gen-chan!" She repeated, waving happily. The people nearby stopped up and stared at her. A few seniors tried tackling her, as she had entered court, when she wasn't allowed. But she agile avoided them.
Only a few meters away from him, she spread out her arms and about to hug him. But, thanks to some rather fast reflexes, he pulled out a ball from his pocket, threw it up and hit it directly against her.
Luckily, it made an impact with her head.
Bock!
At first she just stood there, not really sure what had happened, but then she fell to the ground. And there she sat, blinked confused, yet still beaming happily at him. "That hurts, Gen-chan!" She pouted, jumping to her feet once again.
"I told you not to call me that. What are you, seven?"
"So sorry, Sanada-san." She stuck out her tongue. "Just because I was happy to see you."
"Hm."
"Stupid ..." But then she returned to her normal self and once again sent a toothy smile in his direction.
"Whatever, just get off the court already. You're not allowed to be here."
"Who can stop me?"
He just looked at her.
"Right … But not without you, that's for sure!" She took his hand in hers and started dragging him with her out. "And what are you doing at Rikkai Dai?" She asked. "I thought you'd go to … Okay, I forgot the name, but-"
"I can decide where I want to go without giving a report to you, can't I?"
"But what if I tried going to that school too and you wouldn't be there?" She asked, thinking of the horrible things that might have happened then.
"First of all, it was an all-boys school."
"Oh … That might have been a problem … But still, if I know you would have been here, we could have gone together! In stead of I had to get driven by my mom …"
"What's wrong with your mother?"
She glanced up at him. "What if I say 'unhealthy obsession with Michael Jackson'? In fifteen minutes I had to hear her sing along to his songs … He is okay himself, but with a crow as chorus, I think you'd end up deaf too."
They passed the fence, still talking with Sanada – or, Nadjai did most of the talking (or nagging), while he only acted like he was listening. But on the other side, she suddenly got hugged by Riku. "Oi, Jai, what are you doing, dumping my cousin like that?"
"Huh?" She had no idea what she was talking about. "I haven't dumped anyone!"
She pointed towards Yukimura, who was making his way over, not sure what was going on either. "I told you already, she didn't! She only met someone she knew-" He cut himself off, as he noticed who she knew. "Sanada?" He asked, not sounding too happy to see him.
"Ah! You guys know each other?" She asked happily, not feeling any of the hostile waves between the two. "That's nice!"
They just stared at you. "How dumb is she?"
