"So, Fuji-senpai, what was the 'extremely important matter to discuss' that you called us all to meet on a Saturday morning on one of our free early weekend mornings?" Momo asked curiously.

Only the same smile and silence answered him.

"Fuji! I'm DYING here nya! Hey is it something to do with O-chibi? And maybe even Sakuno-chan? Hmm?" Eiji bounced around happily, excited at the prospect of a love relationship between the cocky freshman regular and the quiet coach's grand-daughter. "Oishi! We have to make sure that Ochibi here treats her well, buys her flowers, takes her out on dates, and…. Oh! And doesn't make her cry!"

"Echizen, I think you should behave very nicely to her so you won't hu- BURNINGGG! IF YOU MAKE HER CRY I'LL PUNISH YOU WITH…. Ahaa," Taka said, sheepishly scratching his head while Fuji discreetly snatched his tennis racket back from Taka's grasp. "Sorry everyone. I don't know what happened there."

"…mada mada dane, senpai-tachi," Ryoma huffed indignantly as Eiji and Momo blew their little theory out of proportion.

"Hoi hoi! O-chibi didn't deny it!" Eiji crowed with delight while entrapping him into his infamous bear hug.

"Eiji-senpai, I never said that I di-"

"Ii data, there is an 86.7 percent chance that Echizen likes sensei's grand-daughter, and a solid 95 that Momo-chan likes Tachibana's little sister."

Several gasps were heard as all eyes turned towards Momo.

"N-no! What are you talking about Inui-senpai?"

"Fshhhh, so the baka here says while blushing," hissed Kaidoh.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY MAMUSHI? DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN IDIOT?!"

"HELL YES I DID. WHAT, ARE YOU DEAF AS WELL?"

"SHUT THE HELL UP! WE ALL KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE IDIOT, YOU ARE!"

"OH REALLY BLOCKHEAD, WHY DON'T I JUST GIVE YOU A BLACK EYE!"

"CHE, YOU'LL JUST MEET MY FIS-"

"Oh yes, Fuji. What did you want to tell us about today," Oishi asked over the loud din of the two fighting. And as if those words were magic, the fighting stopped, for news from Fuji was always very interesting. Well, it was more of Momo stopped as soon as he heard Oishi and Kaidoh stopped from the shock that Momo randomly shut his mouth in the middle of their infamous argument/fights.

"Hey, you almost made us all forget about Fuji's big news Momo-chan, with your whole "O-chibi and Sakuno-chan's secret current love relationship"," blamed Eiji.

"What? But Eiji-senpai, that was YOU that brought it up," protested Momo.

"Now now guys, I won't be able to tell you what I've learnt if we keep on switching the topic," Fuji calmly protested.

Finally, having captured the complete attention of the other Seigaku regulars present, he smiled his usual smile and began to inform the others about his theory.

"Have you all realized how Tezuka has been, out-of-it recently?" 7 heads bobbed up and down as each agreed and the sound of a pencil scribbling down everything greeted Fuji's half-closed eyes.

"And have you noticed that this has just happened right after Tezuka came back from his stay in Germany?" Again, 7 heads nodded their assent.

"Well, curiously, just the other day I was talking to Tezuka and interrupted him from his now-frequent day-dreams, if you will, and I have a feeling that I hit the nail on the head."

"Uh…waitasec Fuji-senpai. Hitting the nail on the what? I don't get it," Momo immediately asked.

"Momo-senpai, that's an English expression, 'to hit the nail on the head' basically means that someone described the exact problem or situation or whatever," piped up the slightly more cocky voice of our Super-Rookie, seeing as he did live in America for quite a while.

"Oh…I get it. Ha, wait. I mean, I KNEW THAT. HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHA. HAHA. HA…ha. You guys don't believe me do you?"

"…"

"Not even YOU Echizen?"

"Mada mada dane Momo-senpai. I was the one that explained it to you," spoke Ryoma.

"Anyway, to continue what I was telling you guys about," broke in Fuji with a slight hint of annoyance, "I only innocently" (the 7 other regulars shuddered as they recalled Fuji's past "innocent" pranks and statements) "suggested that he met an exotic beautiful girl in Germany when Tezuka immediately, as in didn't even let me finish my sentence before he cut in, made me run laps."

"Which leads me to believe, that Tezuka has a girlfriend."

"……………" Only silence and shocked faces stared back at Fuji. Their jaws were all on the ground and Eiji, Seigaku's acrobatic player, had fallen in mid-jump due to the shock of Fuji's news.

Tezuka. Their buchou. Seigaku's Pillar of support. The stoic serious 9th grader that never ever participated in their favorite activity of snooping. The one that so many girls in their school pine after because of his cool aloofness, superb tennis skill, spotless reputation, and not to mention his amazingly good looks. The one that always rejected them with a stern, semi-reprimanding voice. The one that even Pro players have their eyes on. HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND?

Oh, this was big news. Wait, it was more than that; it was huge, it was shocking, it was just plain unnerving, and it definitely signified that:

"A guh-….a guh-…a girlfriend?! AHHH!!!! THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING! RUN EVERYBODY RUNNNN," shouted Eiji, with his arms flailing about wildly smacking the tennis regulars (minus Fuji), and knocking them out as Eiji suddenly lost consciousness from the news after hitting them all.

"Ah, what should I do now," Fuji wondered sadistically. "Maybe it's time again for more blackmail pictures of Seigaku's tennis regulars to place in his album. Heh, I do need more blackmail pictures." Chuckling softly, he whipped out his handy-dandy black marker and drew things on them and then took several pictures of the other tennis-players in their awkward and pitiful positions (a.k.a. a huge tangled pile of people) on the ground.

Of course, Fuji remembered to wipe out all traces of the black marker, so the regulars wouldn't know about any black-mail, until the unfortunate day when they decide to cross paths with the sadist.

(10 minutes later)

"Whoaa, what happened," they all groaned when they finally woke up, covered in bruises.

""Hey, where'd O-chibi go," Eiji asked, the first one to pop up because he fell on the cushiony pillows that were his teammates.

"Mmrphmrmrph mmrphmrmrph mrmm." (translation: "mada mada dane".)

"Ehh? Where'd that voice come from that sounded like O-chibi? C-c…could it be a GHOST? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," yelled Eiji in horror, "Why'd you take our O-chibi? NO!!!"

"Eiji, Echizen is perfectly fine. See? He's standing right behind you," Oishi spoke in a motherly voice, trying to calm his doubles' partner down.

"YAY O-CHIBI NYA! You didn't die!" (Everyone sweat drops.)

Meanwhile, Fuji was standing in front of them, watching the exchange with his daily-worn smile with just a hint of a smirk.

"Oh, Fuji! How did you know about Tezuka's girlfriend," Taka asked, bringing everyone back to the original topic again for the third time in about 20 minutes.

"Yeah," agreed Oishi surprisingly enough, for he was the one who usually had the most reservations in poking his nose into another's private business. "So do you have a picture of her? I mean, I know it's Tezuka's privacy and all, but this is really exciting news! We absolutely, positively, need to know more about her! We're a team, and we're like family. So I think, that we should know what's going on with Tezuka, seeing as he's our buchou and all," he added.

"Well, no, I don't." Fuji's eyes widened slightly as the others slumped back down again. Even the usually indifferent Echizen was struggling to hide his disappointment. And it seems, Fuji wasn't the only one who noticed Echizen's abnormal interest, as the scratching sounds of a pencil against paper resumed.

"But, I do have a plan of getting a picture and maybe some background information of the two. I mean, we don't even know her name yet!"

"You do? Sugoi ne Fuji-senpai! You really are a genius," Momo shouted in glee, accompanied by Eiji's jubilant shouts and acrobatics.

"Hoi hoi! Was there any doubt that Fuji didn't have a plan," Eiji said whiling grinning like a Cheshire cat as cat ears randomly appeared on the top of his head.

"Huhuhuu. Ii data," snickered Inui. Oh this was bound to be interesting, and he even got to collect data from all of the members, and even possibly a hint of the working's of Seigaku's tensai's mind.

"So. Here's what we do…" and the 8 Seigaku regulars huddled together to hear Fuji's plans to find out about the unknown girlfriend.

As they broke from their huddle, the grins from the eight boys' faces were enough to say that they were extremely confident in their roles of the snooping.

Beep beep beep beep bee-. The alarm went off on Oishi's watch, reminding everyone that they had to go for a late morning practice. This was all well, because the plan was freshly engraved in their minds ensuring that they would succeed.

"Let's go guys, and carry out part A of our plan," announced Fuji, picking up his tennis bag and running off in the direction of Seigaku's tennis courts.

They all arrived at different times, in order not to arouse the suspicions of their already-wary buchou, and tried their best to act normally.

"Seigaku tennis club members," said a raised, slightly raspy voice. "Begin your respective warm-ups. Tezuka, meet me in my office as soon as you're done with your warm-ups."

"Hai, Ryuuzaki-sensei, I'll be up in approximately 15 minutes."

And so began the intricate, yet simple, plan of Seigaku's sadistic tensai.


Okay, so I know I haven't really gotten anywhere with this yet. But I promise it's just the beginning so it's all building up. I really really wanted my OC to show up in this chapter, but as you can see, it didn't happen. Well, that and the fact that I'm still having trouble with her name. I decided on her being half German and half Japanese just because I think half caucasian half asian people are so incredibly pretty. Also, I feel like I was rambling on a bit about nothing for quite a while.

Tell Me What You Think! Any questions, comments, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Criticism too, but please no flames. Please review!

-edit-

Thanks to fantasize.dream for catching my grammatical errors. Also, I won't be updating the next chapter until I have a solid in-depth plan for my story with all of my thoughts that are jumbled up in my head. But, hopefully it'll come along soon seeing as I have gym-class to write it (the only good thing about being injured. ).
