Chapter 3: Tarundoru and Shikuyoro

Yukimura looked down at his new member and smiled brightly. Ryoma was clearly, completely dumbstruck. Niou stole a quick glance to Yukimura and very slowly, started to walk away from the blue-haired teen to join his other team mates; however, he was named Yukimura Seiichi for nothing.

"Oh, Haru," Yukimura spoke suddenly in a very cheerful voice, "I believe you don't forget that I assigned you a hundred laps around the main building? But considering our situation now, I will order you a hundred laps around the number 1 through 5 courts here."

At first, Niou looked hopeful. But when he heard "1 through 5 courts", his eyes soon were dull. He growled and glared at Ryoma, and then started doing his laps. Ryoma smiled. His smile was childish, yet it was an evil smile as well. Yukimura saw this and he chimed gleefully. Not only a cute little brother, but a sadist little brother too.

Sadistic in perfection: checked.

Because, of course, Yukimura remembered clearly that he has Fuji Shuusuke under his hand, too.

Oh, what a very wonderful day he had now!

He suppressed the urge to jump around and sighed.

Yukimura walked towards the court, approaching a certain boy which height almost at his 190 cm with a black cap on his head. Yukimura gestured Ryoma to follow him and Ryoma did.

"Genichirou."

The black capped teen turned around. Once he saw his face, Ryoma knew at the very moment, he better to keep his arrogant and cocky comments to himself when the tall boy was around. His face was stern, his face lines were firm. He looked down at Ryoma whose height, unfortunately, wasn't even more than 160 cm.

"Seiichi." He nodded. "So, this is the new member you have told me before?"

"Precisely." Yukimura replied brightly, smiling. "Echizen Ryoma-kun, in my class, the son of Echizen Nanjiroh. Echizen-kun, this is Sanada Genichirou, the tennis club second vice-captain. He is in class 2-D of Science Department."

"Echizen Ryoma, nice to meet you, Sanada-senpai," Ryoma muttered and he bowed. Sanada nodded.

"Just because you are the son of that Echizen Nanjiroh, it doesn't mean that you will get a special treatment here," said Sanada quickly, his eyes brushed over Ryoma's slender figure, examining the smaller capped boy. "And we expect the best from you, Echizen. Show us what you've got with the name of Echizen you bring here."

Ryoma stared at Sanada blankly, "Uisu."

Yukimura beamed, "Now, now, Gen-chan, you don't have to be that stern to Echizen-kun! He is still new here in this school, so please go easy on him, ne? Now, Gen-chan, I would like you to have everyone to gather here to meet Echizen-kun."

Sanada's eyebrows twitched at the name 'Gen-chan', but he said nothing. Instead he turned around and shouted, "Everyone assemble here, now!"

The chatter and chaos went dead and everyone quickly gathered in front of Sanada. No one dared to speak, but they looked at Ryoma curiously. Niou was still doing his laps.

"Good evening, everyone," Yukimura greeted. "Like I've told you before, we have a new teammate here. I would like to introduce to you, Echizen Ryoma, from class 2-A from Mathematic Department. Echizen-kun, if you would?"

Ryoma stepped forward to Yukimura's side. Yukimura placed his hands on Ryoma's shoulders.

"Echizen Ryoma, nice to meet you all."

Eventually the silence broke off. Few of them looked at Ryoma in awe.

"Wow, you are the son of Echizen Nanjiroh? Sugeeeee!" an orange haired boy said cheerfully. He bounced up in glee.

"Nya Ochibi, how old are you? You seem to be too young and too small to be in the second year nya!" the kick-boxing red-haired boy said - or no, he was much more into shouting.

"Eiji! Don't be so rude to him. It's very rude to say things like that to him!" the other one who had a black hair with an egg style on it protested, smiling to Ryoma. "I'm sorry, but Eiji is always like that."

"Kikumaru Eiji, 2-C of Social Deparment nya, nice to meet you, Ochibi!" Eiji jumped to Ryoma who weren't ready yet for the impact of the glomp that Eiji would soon give him.

Definitely.

Ryoma choked as he felt air was being ripped off from his lungs. Slowly, his face turned into a blue as he gasped desperately, trying to get Eiji off from his body, "Ki... kumaru... senpai... get off..."

Because Kikumaru Eiji isn't light at all. At all.

"Kikumaru-san, let him go!" a silver haired boy with honey eyes cried out, rushing to Ryoma and Eiji. "Kikumaru-san, please let Echizen-kun go, he is blue, blue! Anyone help me!"

"Aahh... it's always like that," Kirihara sighed, looked at Sanada. Marui and Yukimura followed his eyes and they turned back, trying to suppress their laugh. Yukimura smiled widely as he put his hands on his ears.

"TARUNDORU! Kikumaru, a hundred laps around the outside building!"

Eii quickly let go of Ryoma as he shrieked, "Nyaaaa! Don't want to, don't want to! Tezuka, please nya!"

"Echizen-kun, are you all right?" the silver haired boy asked worriedly as he bent down to Ryoma to check him. "Oh - I'm Ootori Choutarou, from Science Department, class 1-F, Echizen-kun. Semi-regular member."

Ryoma coughed a bit before grunting an answer to Ootori, "I'm fine, thanks Ootori-senpai."

"A hundred laps, Kikumaru." a tall, bespectacled boy with brown-hazel eyes said firmly, arms crossed in his chest.

"Yukimura!" now Eiji turned to Yukimura.

"I'm sorry, Eiji-kun, but please do as Genichirou and Kunimitsu said," said Yukimura happily. He pointed his finger to Niou's running figure, "You can accompany Haru there. You nearly made Echizen-kun die with that hug."

Eiji cried as he stepped away from his teammates for doing his laps.

"Now, Echizen-kun... with this much of regulars and semi-regulars we have here, you don't need to be rush in knowing all of them in a day, now do you?" said Yukimura warmly. It was clear for all of the regulars and semi-regulars that Yukimura was 'aiming' for Ryoma. "Eiji-kun is our acrobatic player and he is always hyperactive like that, well, knowing him as our best acrobatic player here."

"Him? The best? Don't make me laugh, Yukimura!" the other red-headed boy protested. "I jumped higher than him and my reflexes are much better than that weird cat boy with his annoying nya and hoi!"

"Gakuto, calm down, please." His friend, a blue haired boy with glasses, interrupted.

"That is, Gakuto Mukahi and Oshitari Yuushi," said Ooishi. "Oshitari is the one who wears glasses."

"Nice to see you, Echizen," Oshitari gave a hand to Ryoma. Ryoma gave his hand too and mumbled something sounded like, 'you even don't really need to wear those glasses'.

Oshitari and the other were stunned at this.

"Wow," Kirihara's eyes widened in awe. "He knows that Oshitari-senpai is wearing a fake glasses! He knows, he knows! Isn't he cool, ne, ne, Mura-buchou?" Kirihara looked hopefully to his buchou. Yukimura chuckled and he nodded, "Yes, Akaya-kun, Ryoma-kun is cool."

"Scary... Mura starts to call Echizen 'Ryoma-kun'..." Marui whispered to his other friend - black skin, balded head. "How do you think, Jackal?"

Jackal Kuwahara shook his head, "I really don't know how do our team manage to survive to this long."

"Shikuyoro, Echizen," Marui nodded to Ryoma and he whispered to Ryoma's ear, "You should be careful now that Mura has started to call your given name. I bet you have known what type of person is Mura?"

Ryoma blinked. Shikuyoro? Now what is it with that shikuyoro?

Yukimura's head quickly jerked to Marui's direction. Marui backed off and he cursed. Lucky for him, Niou had finished his laps and he shouted, "I'm done, Yukimura! Satisfied?"

"Niou!" Sanada approached Niou and he raised his hand. Ryoma's eyes widened in surprise. Is that Tarundoru boy really going to hit that annoying Pigtail?

"Stop it, Sanada. Don't lose your temper." Tezuka grabbed Sanada's hand first and nodded. Niou smirked. He walked to Ryoma's side and said wryly, "That's Sanada for you, Chibi. Don't you dare to lose even a game or you will definitely feel those charming hands on your cutie cheeks."

Ryoma glared at Niou. "As if, Pigtail-senpai, I will lose like you said. Mada mada da ne for you, Pigtail-senpai."

"You cocky, little brat," Niou gritted his teeth. It was as if Niou and Ryoma were ready to snapped off each other heads.

"Echizen, 50 laps around court 1. You should show respect to your senpais, no matter what." Sanada barked, lingering at Niou. Niou understood and he kept his mouth shut. Ryoma jerked a bit and then he shrugged, "Uisu, Sanada-fukubuchou."

When he was already out from Sanada's ear range, he grunted, "Damn it." He promised he will surely pay Pigtail-senpai back for this.

Buchou and fukubuchou with obsession of bunch of laps: checked.

"OCHIBI! YEA, YOU'RE RUNNING LAPS TOO NYA! HERE, HERE, RUN WITH ME OCHIBI!"

Ryoma turned back in fear and he quickened his pace, growling loudly enough to be heard, "I'm fine with being alone, Kikumaru-senpai, thanks!

But Eiji wouldn't let his Ochibi go that easy. He likes Ochibi and what he likes, he will never let go off of them so easily.

"DON'T RUN AWAY NYA, OCHIBI!"

"Gerr off from me!"

Second chaos: checked.

Obviously.

"Oooh.... I love that Chibi so much already, really," Niou snickered. "So, next time, I suppose it would be Kikumaru?"

"Precisely!" the feminine brunette with closed eyes and creepy smile said, but now his eyes were opened, revealing an intense electric blue eyes. "Fuji Shuusuke is under your service."

"Great one, Fuji."
