Chapter 2: Humiliation
"Ri-chan! Wait for us!" a random girl #1 exclaimed as she was running.
"Hey, she's gone!" random girl #2 said as soon as they stop running, they all looked around.
"You're right... Wait she's over there!"
"KYAA~! Ri-sama!"
A group of girls were currently finding the one and only money lover Tsukiko, "Tch... they're too troublesome, I should've showed them the pictures too early, I only have one copy for now... if I lose it I have less money." Tsukiko mumbled quietly as she was trying to hide behind the big pillar to the entrance of their school. She slowly peeked, the girls were gone, but they are still finding her just to buy her precious pictures that don't have copies yet.
She pulled out her camera that was inside her school bag and hanged it to her. "Good thing I hid my camera, those stupid girls would've break it," She left the school hurriedly before the girls finds her again. Tsukiko went to parking spaces where her bike was parked. She unlocked the lock and rides it away from her school.
In the end she went to Seigaku. It was after school so she's got a lot of time to take pictures with the tennis club regulars.
She ran towards the tennis courts but... No players were found, even the non-regulars. "Hmm... Where are they? Aren't they going to practice?" She muttered looking around.
"No one's here,"
"Who are you?" The voice leading to a freshman. Horio Satoshi. Tsukiko made a "Hn?" sound when she turned around and looked at him. "Are you looking for the regulars?" Another voice called. One of the freshmen trio, Kato Kachiro, he face was wearing his usual smile. Tsukiko nodded quietly.
"Echizen and the others left already, they said that they are having an important meet up," Horio said. "Meet up? where?" Tsukiko asked. "We're sorry but we don't exactly know." Kachiro answered in a slight sad tone, Tsukiko only nodded and left.
Quietly exiting the school ground, she rode her bike again, not knowing where to go. "Maybe I should retreat for now, mission failed."
She stopped her bike after seeing Fuji Syuusuke with Kawamura Takashi carrying bags of groceries. She was in relief, glad that she found even some of the members. She parked her bike somewhere near. After that she followed the two leading to...
"Karaoke?" She tilts her head in confusion. She shook her head, thinking that she was just imaginating, she looked at the sign again, not joking! They were entering in there! She hesitated but continued to follow them anyway. taking photos of the players, she didn't notice that someone was behind her. "It's you again, Tsukiko-chan," that soft voice was... Fuji. Tsukiko was startled but she hid it didn't let him know about it, she turned around with a glare. "Fuji Syuusuke-san," She took one picture him, that one will be saved for blackmailing when she get back to her dorm.
He smiled, not caring about the picture she took. She grew more irritated and keeps taking pictures, but no effect. "Tch... i'm going to waste my time for you Fuji-san," She turned her back him, facing the rest of the tennis players again.
Fuji chuckled silently, joining, hiding behind her. Tsukiko stopped clicking the camera again, twitching inwardly, she will surely get her revenge, she will make him regret for messing with her. 'This is troublesome, what can I do with him,' She thought, Tsukiko sighed and lets him off the hook.
"What is your exact reason for not having any other reaction other than smiling?" Tsukiko asked in a straight tone while still glancing at a group of tennis regulars. "Saa... I don't know?" Fuji answered playfully, purposely adding a question mark on his sentence.
"Ah! Fuji? What are you doing there? hiding," Eiji asked, spotting Fuji, he didn't noticed that Tsukiko went away, Fuji chuckled and stood up from his kneeling position, "Nothing, I just found something interesting," Fuji said, there was parts of him lying and telling the truth, but Tsukiko who was now further away from the group, doesn't know about it and thinks that he was lying. "Great lying," She whispered to herself.
Instead of hiding behind the walls, she is hiding from the shadows, where no one can surely found her."You're late, Fuji-senpai, we're already running out in food~!" Momo spoke, Kaidoh hissed, "And who is the reason for that you peach-head" and thus causing a fight, Fuji with his usual smile did not respond, he sat down next to Tezuka, who was staring at his tensai friend thinking that something was going on, and Fuji refused to tell it.
"Mada mada dane, Inui-senpai," Ryoma smirked under his cap, Inui goes to the corner with gloomy aura surrounding him, after losing so many points in karaoke, he is bad in singing. "I-I was sure I had 80% chances in having a higher score..."
Momo and Eiji was laughing and rolling on the floor in the background. Kaidoh hissed, he was trying to prevent from snickering, it was rude to laugh at a senpai and he wants to respect that. Tezuka said nothing but push his glasses up to the correct position. Oishi and Kawamura smiled sheepishly, trying to cheer the data player up. Fuji chuckled amused by what he saw, but his mind is going off somewhere sometimes. "How long are you going to hide there, Tsukiko-chan," Fuji muttered, but enough for Tezuka and the others to hear, even Tsukiko who was trying to hide. She sighed, showing herself to them.
"Ah! Tsuki-chan nya~!" Eiji shouted. "T-Tsukiko-san!" Momo exclaimed in surprise, he was pointing at Tsukiko who was now sitting beside them. "Yo," she greeted with her bored expression.
"What are you doing here?" Oishi asked. Inui stood up from his gloomy corner, "120% Tsukiko-san is taking pictures of us so that she could sell it and make more money." He said. "E-Eh? you sell our pictures nya~?" Eiji asked in shock.
Momo laughs pointing at Kaidoh, "Hahaha I bet no one even buy viper's picture!" Kaidoh glares at the power player and grabbed his collar, "You two stop it already!" Oishi scolded trying to stop his two kouhai.
"What's the reason for you selling our pictures?" Tezuka finally spoke. Tsukiko smirks at them making some shiver in fear except for Tezuka and Fuji who was smiling from the scene. "Of course... for money. I heard that you're the ones who won this years national tournament."
"For that reason only?" Oishi asked as soon as he stopped the two who was already sitting quietly next to each other but of course he didn't knew that they were glaring at each other behind the vice captain's back. Tsukiko looked down and thought about something.
"For a girl you looked scary... scarier than a ghost" Ryoma commented causing Oishi to scold him for that but he didn't care. "Scary?" Tsukiko said. She stood up in front of them and walks toward the freshman regular, she hold up a picture of him wearing a princess gown the one that he regret volunteering to help the Rikkai dai for their play but of course Yukimura wasn't there yet. She smirks widely when she saw Ryoma's reaction. It was priceless, she pulled out her camera and took a picture of him.
Momo and the others glanced at the pictures also and can't help but laugh, well they already saw one of the picture but it was too funny!
"Hahahah she got you Ochibi~!" Eiji laughed. Momo was also laughing and was already rolling on the ground. Ryoma only glared thinking that he really really regrets helping them.
"Also this was one of my most top selling... so thanks for making me rich, Echizen Ryoma-san" Tsukiko said with a smirk. Ryoma was twitching now... Poor Ryoma.
She looked at the group and smiles in an 'innocent' way, "You all are so amusing," She said, looking at the photo she took. She turned away from them, "I must leave now unfortunately, but nice hanging with you all." and left.
Fuji stared at Tsukiko's retreating figure and opened his blue eyes. "This event is more entertaining than I would expect."
Tezuka closed his eyes with his arms crossing, "Let's not get our guard down."
