Recap:
'Ah, Akada-san we can't have anything happening to you. What would the team be without it's new manager?'
It was a good Jiki was laying down cause, boom, lights out once more.
---
Akada Jiki came to around the end of practice. By that time any managerial duties had been passed onto the first years and Jiki was free to watch from underneath a tree. Never paying any attention to tennis Jiki was amazed by every rally, volley and serve. She looked to find Sanada, who at the moment was living up to his nickname and crushing his practice opponent. She was shocked he was playing but people do probably carry spare rackets(uh, yeah) and he always could have borrowed one.
Now imagine Sanada politely asking to borrow a racket.
Oh god, what have I done!
By this time Sanada had gotten the eerie feeling that someone was watching him but being a rock and in the middle of practice he shook it off. Jiki continued to watch the other regulars, but even if watching tennis was new and exciting for her, people don't naturally have the attention span to watch something being repeated over and over again(it's practice, so you practice again, and again...) and soon her mind walked off into Lala-land.
'Oi, Manager-senpai, how long are you going sit underneath a tree?'
Kirihara then looked as his senpai jumped, hit her head on the tree and fell over muttering profanities.
This was apparently hilarious and he started laughing at his disheveled senpai who was now looking fairly embarassed.
Smack.
'Kirihara, it's not nice to make fun of your superiors.'
'But, buchou!'
The others smirked as Kirihara pouted and tried not to shrink at Yukimura's gaze.
'Ummm..'
This wasn't a loud noise exactly but enough to gain everyone attention and soon everybody's gaze was focused on their new manager. Who didn't especially find this to her liking. In fact Jiki was trying to hide the fact that she so desperately wanted to sprint as far away as possible.
'Yes, Akada-san?' Yukimura was smiling again. Most would rate it at the *I'm making you the center of attention and love the fact you're freaked out* level.
'Well, for starters why am I the manager? What happened to the old one? And what do I need to do? I don't want to be a burden.'
Interestingly enough that's not what came out. Later on Niou would describe it as the noise most things make before they're slaughtered. You know that little God help me 'eep'.
'Ummm...why am I here?' was finally stuttered out and Jiki did not like the stares most were giving her(the patronizing 'you don't know stares?').
'Well you did break fukubuchou's rackets,' drawled out Niou as he slung an arm around her. Yagyuu made a slight disapproving noise in the background but Niou just ignored him. He wanted her to make that little 'eep' again.
It worked.
'So, to repay the debt you have caused, you've become the team's manager.'
'Ummm....shouldn't you have asked?'
Silence.
'Ne, Akada-san what would you have done to repay, hmm?'
This time it was Jiki's turn to be silent.
'F-Fine, but what does the manager even do?'
At this point no one would make eye contact with anybody. Yukimura looked thoughtfully at the tree. Niou muttered puri~. Marui blew a bubble the size of his face while Akaya was distracted by something in the tree(pretending or not?). Yagyuu pushed up his glasses, Sanada stayed silent and well no one ever knew what Yanagi was doing(stupid closed eyes *grumble grumble*)
Oh god, even they didn't know.
Finally after what seemed like forever, Yanagi spoke.
'The manager's duties-'
'Heh, duties...'
Stare.
'Sorry Yanagi-senpai.'
'The manager's duties had been split up and distributed among the first years as well as some of the regulars for quite some time. So far Rikkaidai has not had a tennis team manager in 7.2 years.'
'Then what am I supposed to do?'
Another long pause.
This was getting fairly frustrating in Jiki's point of view.
'Be at morning practice. We'll assign your duties then.' Sanada firmly stated and walked off with Yukimura to get changed.
Well that was all good and said, the regulars thought but what the hell were they supposed to think up by then?(Sanada, think before speaking!)
beep. Beep. Beep! BEEP! BEEE-
'Mother of God...what is time is it?'
Just by glancing out the window and seeing nothing but black answered Jiki's question. Mentally groaning she went over her morning routine(Eat brekkie, get dressed, do hair, etc.) and headed out the door to face her new managerial duties.
Why the hell is morning practice so early? And how do they not all drop dead in school? Yawned Jiki as she neared the school.
'Hmm? Uh, Yagyuu-san why are carrying a body bag?'
'Good Morning Akada-san. Yukimura-buchou said to bring it.'
'W-why?!'
Yagyuu simply stared(we think, stupid opaque glasses!) and said, 'You'll see.' And continued to walk towards the courts, leaving Jiki to follow in an aura of dread.
'Ummm, Niou-san, Yagyuu-san why are you the only ones here?'
Niou grinned hearing that which made her shrink back in fear.
'Well darling Yukimura-buchou told the others to go get ready while we discussed your new uniform.'
'Uniform?'
Niou smiled, nodded and whipped out from behind his back a maid's dress. Complete with yellow and burgundy ribbons to match the team's uniform.
'What. The. Hell.'
'We can't have a mismatched team now can we? It would completely ruin the spirit.'
'Where the hell did you even get this? Some freaky cosplay shop?'
Yagyuu looked straight on ahead while Niou chuckled.
Oh dear god. Jiki shrunk back in shock. The so called Gentlleman had a costume fetish.
'Oi, Jiki-chan, get your mind out of the gutter. He has a sister.'
'SO!?"
'He got it from her. Guess are switching rubbed off on her.'
'About that Niou, we need to talk...'
And they walked off leaving her to change into the costume. She thought about just getting a team uniform off one of the second years(first years would be too small) but the image of what Yukimura would do was too scary.
'Maa, at least Yagyuu gave it tights...HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW MY SIZE?'
Somewhere Yanagi sneezed. 'Ii data.'
Alright, I won't be writing much about Sanada's mind anymore because I suck at it.
Also, the oc will probably not be paired with anyone. Why? Because I can't write romance.
The character thing only says Sanada because he's the one that started this. Yay! Comments done! Remember constructive criticism will be used to make the story better!
