Fuji's Blackmailing

Chapter 3

Fuji's smile was suspiciously wide today, for some reason.

Tezuka shifted uneasily in his chair. He knew Fuji for three years already, and when his smile was wider than usual, well, that meant that he was up to something. And whatever it was, it sure wasn't going to be pleasant.

"Kunimitsu," said the teacher. Tezuka snapped out of his trance, "Please read the following passage,"

Tezuka silently stood up and started to read the passage. At least that was something to keep his mind occupied. Whatever Fuji was up to, he really did not want to think about it.

Tennis Practice over (I admit, I got lazy...so yeah, XDDD)

"Momo-sempai," Ryoma stood in front of Momo.

"What?"

"Want to go to the burger joint?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Okay. Last one there has to pay!" And with that, Ryoma ran off.

"Hey! Echizen, you brat!!! Come back here!!! That wasn't fair!!!" Momo yelled, "I'm not even dressed yet!!!"

"That's your problem!!" Ryoma yelled back with a smirk on his face. He continued to run down the street to the burger joint. There's no way he'd be paying today.

Fuji laughed as he saw Momo running out of the tennis locker room, buttoning his shirt hastily. Really, there was no chance that Momo could manage to get to the burger joint before Echizen could. Echizen may be small, but he's pretty quick. Fuji looked around. Now, where could Tezuka be?

He walked around the tennis locker room. There was Tezuka, walking down the sidewalk. Fuji fought an urge to laugh. Really, Tezuka thought way too little of things. How could he possibly be so unconscious of what was going to happen? Or about to happen?

"Fuji, quit following me," said Tezuka without looking back.

"Ara? You noticed me already?" asked Fuji. He smiled.

Tezuka gritted his teeth as he looked at Fuji. Obviously, he was right that the smiling tensai was up to something. Well, too bad, Fuji, he thought, That smile that you use to throw off people won't work on me.

"What are you up to now, Fuji?" Tezuka asked.

"You noticed it already, didn't you?" said Fuji, with a mischievious smile. Tezuka sure knew how to read his mind sometimes, he thought.

"Just get to it," snapped Tezuka.

"Might as well. It's no use hiding it anymore," said Fuji, "You know, Tezuka, I was wondering...about the school dance...The Winter Wonderland..."

Tezuka stayed silent.

"I was wondering....would you go? You know, with a date?" asked Fuji. His smile became more mischievious than ever.

"Fuji, you know that I don't bother going to these things," said Tezuka, flatly, "And you can't make me go anyhow,"

"Really?"

Tezuka paused for a moment. What did Fuji mean by "Really?"? Could Fuji possibly have some way? Tezuka shook his head. No, he couldn't. Just couldn't.

"What do you mean by that?" Tezuka asked.

"You know...I still have those pictures of you with Sakuno in your arms..."said Fuji. Oh, he was just so evil, wasn't he?

Tezuka's eyes widened. No way......he didn't!! "I thought I told you to throw them away," he said.

"No, I just ran the 30 laps like you told me to if I didn't throw them away. That meant that I could still keep them, eh?"

"...." Tezuka glared at the smiling tensai. How could he have been so stupid? He should have known that Fuji would keep those pictures at nearly whatever cost. He scowled.

"You won't dare do such a thing, Fuji..." hissed Tezuka.

"If you don't go to the dance, I will," said Fuji.

Tezuka thought about the whole situation. If he went to the dance, his reputation would be shattered. His parents would be delighted to see that he was finally attending several social meetings with others, but what did he care? He didn't like girls, nor was he interested in finding one to be his girlfriend. Fuji was pushing him to his limits.

"So what's it going to be, Tezuka? Go to the dance? Or would you rather have those pictures spread throughout the school?" asked Fuji.

"...what's the catch in this?" asked Tezuka.

"Just go to the dance with a certain girl...." said Fuji.

"With who?"

"Sakuno-chan,"

The answer nearly knocked Tezuka head over heels. So this was what Fuji was planning....kuso....how could he have allowed this to happen!?

"So, will you go to the dance, Tezuka?" asked Fuji, "It's simple. Just go to the dance, have a small dance with Sakuno, and you can get out of there as soon as possible. Agreed? Or I can always just give this to Shiba..."

Shiba? The disgusting woman who was the photographer for that magazine? Oh no...anything but having those pictures published in public......

"...fine...." Tezuka finally let in. Baka, he told himself, you let this happen because you were careless!! You should have seen that those pictures were burned!!!!

"On one condition," his voice said. Fuji smiled. He knew that Tezuka wasn't going to give in that easily.

"Which is?"

"Those pictures will either be kept or burned. Anyone sees those and you'll be running laps until you graduate!!" he barked at Fuji. He should have said that if anyone knew about this but he knew that it was impossible, since all of the tennis members and nearly everyone at the school would know...

Simple enough, thought Fuji. He could do that, "Sure," he said, "You keep your part of the deal and I'll keep mine,"

"...hn..."and with that, Tezuka left.

Fuji was satisfied. Now, all he had to do was break the new to Sakuno-chan. There was simply no way she could refuse. Kohai were supposed to do what their senpais requested. It was dirty trick, but he had to. Besides, won't Tomoka-chan help along? It all fit perfectly...

Author's notes: Well, how was it? XD sorry if Tezuka was a bit OOC, I completely suck at writing Tezuka's personality...he's just so cold and quiet!!! Read and review, please!!!!
