Okay,I gave in I was supposed to stick you guys out until I got three reviews but (in the infinate words of Ryoma) che! I felt like posting this chapter now so enjoy but I'll tell you now updates will definately be sporadic!
Chapter two
Cerulean blues eyes opened slowly, glistening in the morning sun. Syuusuke pulled himself out of the warm, comforting sheets to get ready to face the day. He trotted downstairs, smiling gracefully as he accepted presents from his Yumiko-nee-san. Slight worry crossed his features about his 'missing' brother.
Elsewhere, walking along were Josie, Laura, Inui, Oishi and Eiji looking around trying to find Tezuka's house, with each of the Regulars holding a carefully wrapped present. However, Laura was holding many individual presents stacked upon one another whilst Josie pulled a bright red wagon which contained a very large, human sized present.
"Nya, what's in the box Josie-chan?" Eiji asked inquisitively as they walked up the pathway leading to Tezuka's house.
"Syuu-chan's present" she smiled all too brightly before approaching the door with Laura.
Knock, knock, knock. Due to the girls being equally as hyper as Eiji and being all too impatient they began banging rapidly on the door over-enthusiastically, knowing that they were purposely being ignored. Eiji began to join in the fun to try to get the buchou to leave his residence; knowing exactly what was going to happen, Josie and Laura both stepped back leaving Eiji to it.
Inside the house Tezuka's head was slowly gaining more and more veins from annoyance at the racket emitting from his front door, so finally, he went to put an end to it.
"Kikumaru, 40 Laps!" He yelled as soon as he opened the door, plain agitation written across his face. As Eiji handed Laura his present to add to her already large pile, he began the laps that seemed to torment him quite frequently.
"Ohayo Kuni-kun" came a familiar yet somewhat annoying voice from Laura. Tezuka twitched.
"O~hay~o~ Mitsu-chan!" the over patronising voice came from Josie, right next to him.
A very familiar large, purple vein popped over Tezuka's brow as he left the house. Like everyone else, he was wearing jeans and a casual top that made him look friendly but still, he seemed too stoic.
Over the next 20 minutes, the small group accumulated the rest of the Regulars except of course Syuusuke and Ryoma, who was their last collection point before getting to Syuusuke's house. Momo and Kaido kept looking at one another and snickering ever so slightly so the other could hear it, just to be irritating. After taking so many aspirin that morning and having ran out, Tezuka glared at the pair, before the deafening arguments could arise.
Walking up to Ryoma's house was quite pleasant. No-one was fighting (for once) and the house seemed at peace. The sakura were floating calmly in the gentle breeze, carrying the sweet melodies of the nearby birds. Everything was tranquil…until several people turned up, early in the morning to turf the unsuspecting prodigy out of his snug sheets.
Knocking on the door and waiting patiently, it wasn't long before Nanjirou appeared; reading. Realizing who was at the door, he quickly hid his reading material behind his back, however it was a failed attempt as everyone saw what it was.
"Ne, we're here to pick up Ryoma for his sempai's birthday", Josie and Laura said in chorus as they passed him to walk straight up to Ryoma's room.
"How do you guys know which one is his room?" Nanjirou questioned; a look of uncertainty on his face.
"We have our resources" Josie said, turning and smiling her Syuusuke sadistic smile as Laura continued walking up the stairs. Meanwhile, Nanjirou noticed the Regulars and decided that entertaining himself for awhile wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Ryoma's room was slightly messy with tennis balls strewn across the floor, a few tennis magazines and some cat toys, however, the girls main objective was the mushy lump on the bed snuggled up to Karupin, who was purring slightly in his sleep.
A single pale foot was poking out from under the covers. As Laura went to open the curtains to shine some light so that obstacles and dangers were clearly visible, Josie went and literally yanked Ryoma from under the covers!
"Ite!" was all that Ryoma could say before he was dragged quite violently out of the room, across the hall and into the shower.
"Take a shower, or I will force you to. And that comes at a price..." Josie announced, holding up a camera, grinning.
"You wouldn't..." whispered Ryoma defensively.
"I would, now get in the shower" Josie warned. That was all it took for Ryoma to make himself look presentable.
Meanwhile, while Josie waited outside the bathroom, Laura hurried by with a certain precious kitty, down the stairs and into the main room, quietly shutting the door behind her. Quickly, so Ryoma didn't notice, Karupin was put into a box (it had breathing holes in it), a bow stuck on top and hidden amongst the mass of presents which now occupied a whole corner and seemed to mysteriously grow whenever no-one was looking.
Josie decided to leave Ryoma to get dressed by himself and wandered off to find the rest of the Regulars before anyone got too preoccupied with what they were doing. Swiftly walking up the path to the temple, where the tennis court was discreetly hidden, was the most obvious place seven tennis-loving teens and a retired old pervert could be.
"We need to go to Syuusuke's house now".
Whilst waiting for some attempt of everyone getting ready to go, Nanjirou closed his eyes and stood on one foot, gracefully hitting the spinning yellow ball back across the court to Tezuka, whom hit it back just as gracefully. A smile played across Nanjirou's lips as everyone was looking stunned that their beloved buchou was losing even given handicaps.
Josie raised her voice a little louder knowing that everyone would be able to hear her.
"You can't play tennis now!" Clasping hold of the top of her nose, trying to calm herself the slightest and gritting her teeth, she forced out the words,
"Nanjirou, pummel them into the ground quickly please, unless you want me let loose with a pair of scissors..."Nanjirou eyes snapped open immediately, knowing what was in danger if he carried on this charade any longer than he was, and began playing seriously.
Ryoma, walking up the garden, found everyone stunned and just caught the end of Tezuka losing horribly to his father, whilst afterwards Nanjirou ran back as fast as he could to protect his precious magazines.
Everyone walked miserably back to the house to get their colourfully and carefully wrapped gifts waiting by the door, Laura still carrying her mass of presents and Josie with her wagon - with a newly added, childish squeak on the wheel.
Can peoples please review this time because I feel a bit insecure because even Dare games got more reviews than this has so far...
