Hello again!
This time it's the Trick Pair!

"Sanada, Yanagi what do you think of our team?" Yukimura asked his oldest friends as the Three Demons dubbed by their baby Akaya, sat watching the practice session the regulars were doing this fine day.
"I think they are strong but"
"They could get stronger with more training, you were going to say?" The Master finished his friends and vice-captain's thought, who in turn grunted.
"Yes but that's not what I meant" gaining odd stares Yukimura continued as he remained sitting on the bench cross legged gazing out at the group "how are we as a group of friends? We are the strongest junior high tennis team in Japan but as friends…..are we as strong?" light sapphire and dark as well as light brown looked at their team.
How Yagyuu and Jackal were far off the courts most likely talking about how childish their doubles partners were and how it's be a nice change to partner with a sane person for once.
How Akaya was once again being picked on by Niou and Marui, as they poked him and ran their hands through his already messy hair, when Yukimura got an idea!
"I know! Lets all go to the beach!"
"Eh?!" gaining an 'are you crazy, where the hell did that thought come from' look from both his friends, the captain stood up
"This weekend as a treat for the upcoming semester break, we'll go to the beach! It'll be really fun!"
"Seiichi, it's not that easy I'm afraid" Yanagi said with a sigh, how was it that this guy was most likely the strongest tennis player in all of the East and he had to be so….so impulsive about the most trivial things!
"Well then let's see what the rest of the team thinks!" looking over at Sanada who knew that look sighed and called out for the regulars to get their butts here! Because Yukimura Seiichi never raises his voice.
"What is it Yukimura?" Jackal asked as they all stood by their captain who had a smile on his face……crap. He was getting another idea of 'team bonding'
"What do you all think of a day at the beach?"
"A day at the beach?! How cool!" Akaya exclaimed instantly winning a happy look from his buchou.
"Where? When?" Marui asked blowing his green bubble as he crossed his arms leaning on Yagyuu who was being The Gentleman, remained silent.
"I thought we could take the bus to the port city of Hiratsuka and spend the day playing! This weekend for the semester break"
"That sounds nice" Niou smirked as he thought of millions and millions of ways to define 'playing' as he leaned on his kouhai messing with his black hair, earning a growl
"Stop that Niou-senpai!"
"Stop what brat? It's not my fault you have wild black hair"
"No but you can stop messing with it! It's already messy!"
"So? Not like it'll ever be proper" the Trickster smirked at the second years signature pout,
"Yuki-buchou stop him!"
"Now now Niou quit picking on our baby" giving the silvery blue haired boy his signature smile which stopped the boy instantly. "Okay I will buy the tickets with Yanagi and Sanada, will someone bring food?" their buchou asked
"I'll bring it!" Marui beamed when Jackal cut in
"I'll help, it'll be a lot of food I can guess"
"Yeah if Maui-senpai brings the food it'll all be candy for sure!" Akaya voiced gaining a hit on the head by the self proclaimed tensai.
"Hush up brat!"
"Ow! That hurt!"
"Now now! Marui what did I just say to Niou?"
"Tch, sorry"
"Alright we have the tickets settled, the food settled what else?"
"Entertainment, what about fireworks?" Yanagi asked, when Yukimura's eyes sparkled instantly
"That's perfect! Who'll bring fireworks?"
"I will" Niou raised his left hand, when his blue eyes met with his doubles partner's gleam of his glasses
"We will Yukimura-kun, I do not trust Niou-kun to bring safe fireworks" the purple haired guy said as the rest of the team wholeheartedly agreed
"Alright! Now that's settled! This weekend on Saturday at 1 o'clock head towards the south train station with everything you think you'll need okay?"
"Yes sir!"

Finally the weekend came and as planned every regular on the Rikkai tennis team had arrived and boarded the bus, and in no time flat they had reached the beach.
"Wow! It's even cooler than I thought!" Akaya let out as he ran to find a spot and forced Jackal to put the umbrella into the sand. Yagyuu and Yanagi placed the picnic blanket on the ground for all of them to share as Sanada took out the food and such.
"Hey brat, race you to the waters" Niou smirked already off with his shirt and arms on his hips, watching his junior take his shirt off and smirk up at his senpai.
"You're on!" automatically dashing towards the water
"Ah! You cheater!"
"Oi! Watch where your kicking up sand!" Marui scolded kneeling as he continued to make his sand castle,
Jackal helped cook with Sanada, as Yukimura and Yagyuu laid under the shade resting, Yanagi watching over everyone else gathering data in this new environment.
"Ha I won senpai!"
"Tch I let you win"
"Right…old man" The Junior Ace snickered when he felt a tap on his shoulder "huh? Wah!" suddenly water was splashed into his face curtsey of Rikkai's prankster.
"Haha loser brat"
"You jerk senpai!"
"What's this? Being rude to your upperclassman, second year!"
"Heh like I need to be respectful of you! Yuki-buchou is the only one I respect!" Akaya folded his arms as the water waded and waned against his waist
"Ha?" putting his arms on his hips "so what about Yanagi?"
"….."
"And Sanada?"
"….."
"And Yagyuu?"
"….shut up"
"Brat" smirking at his junior Niou reached up and messed with the kids sea drenched hair
"Senpai! Stop that!" waving the third years hands
"Hmm? Interesting"
"….what?"
"Nothin'" the silvery blue haired boy smirked a glimmer in his blue eyes caught by accident by Akaya, as he laid back on the water and drifted away, green eyes followed his movements; curious.
As the day pasted the sun lowered over the horizon and dinner began and finished, making room for entertainment
"Yes! It's time for the fireworks right!" Marui blew a large bubble in excitement,
"Yes" Yukimura smiled, handing out the bag of fireworks to each of the team mates as they grabbed something.
"Does anyone have a lighter?" Sanada asked in monotone looking around when Niou answered
"Yeah let me get it" reaching over towards his bag, he lit his firework as the rest of his friends stared…. "what?"
"Why do you have a lighter?" Marui asked hesitantly
"Heh I took it from a dead body in an ally once"
"…you're a really weird person Niou-senpai"
"I'm hurt by that Akaya, I'm just different"
"Right…."
"It's a scary thought that there's a 20 percent chance of that being possible in Niou's case" Yanagi spoke softly making sure no one heard.
___________________________________
Passing the lighter everyone watched as their works blew up, exploded and sparkled!
"You were right Yukimura! This is fun!" Jackal laughed as his snake spit and spurred against Yagyuu's and Marui's.
"I thought it might!"
"Genichiroh your's will lose I'm afraid" the ever closed eyes of The Master watched as The Emperor clenched his fists
"It's not over yet, Renji" his firework was still alive! Even by a little spark! So what if Yanagi's was bursting with fire of blue and gold!
"I'm going to beat your cracker fireworks senpai!" Akaya smirked as his burst with life while Niou's simmered
"Not for long brat!" getting up the silvery blue haired boy stomped on the poor juniors cracker.
"Wah! You cheater! That was low senpai!"
"Heh" walking over to the kid, Niou placed his nose at the tip of the second years until he was sure his breath was felt on the junior. "What are you going to do about it seaweed head?" running his fingers through the boy's hair making the latter blush
"S-seaweed head?"
"Yeah, it looks like seaweed under the water" the prankster winked back heading towards the others to get more works when Akaya pouted a bit with a strong blush still on his cheeks, when the junior ran up and kicked his senpai's butt.
Knocking the third year to the ground flat on his face.
"I'm not a seaweed head!"
"Damn it Akaya! Get your ass back here!"

Me- how was that?
It was my first time writing for the Trick Pair so…I'm not sure if it came out right!
Disclaimer though....about how Akaya really got the nickname seaweed head is different from the anime so yeah....I thought it'd be cute if Niou was the one to give it to Akaya!
So please still read and review!
