Chapter 4:

So as they continued their search for Inui, they both felt totally comfortable with the fact that they kissed, that people were thinking of them as a couple and Fuji as a girl, as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Eiji and Oishi however, weren't feeling relaxed as they were talking near the stage.

"Inui planned this, didn't he?"

"Yup!"

"I really don't know if we should be doing this. Tezuka and Fuji might get angry at us."

"Nyah! I know! I was fearing for my life when I saw them!" Eiji raised his hands to show how he really meant what he said.

"Then why did you agree?" Oishi asked, worry growing evident in his face.

"Because I got scared of Inui." Eiji said, lowering his gaze and the volume of his voice.

"Uh, well, don't worry. We'll try to get out of this alive."

Inui however, wasn't worrying for his life one single bit. He was still writing in his book when he bumped into Ryoma and Sakuno.

"Ryoma, good thing I saw you."

"Yes, Inui?" a Ponta can was yet again being held by his hand.

"I need you to plant a microphone inside Tezuka and Fuji's room." With that, Ryoma nearly dropped his Ponta, again.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you want to see the love between Fuji and Tezuka to develop."

"Still, I won't do that."

"You're gonna let us all down, you know."

"That won't work on me," and Ryoma started to walk away with Sakuno behind him, that is, until Inui grabbed his arm.

"I'll change rooms with Horio."

"You're not my roommate, Momo is."

"That's what you think," Inui then smirked with evil reflected in his eyes. Ryoma felt all the hair in his body stand up.

"What do you mean?"

"You do know that I registered you guys."

"and?" 'please don't tell me he-'

"I changed your rooms. You're booked with me and Taka while Momo is with Kaidoh"

"You're evil."

"Thank you. So, here's the microphone." So Inui handed him a small gadget, the size of his thumb.

"This is a mic?"

"Apparently, yes. You're in room 194A. Tezuka and Fuji is in 192A. Go there later on and make an excuse to talk with Tezuka. While you're talking, drop it somewhere unnoticeable."

"Uhm... okay." and Inui left, leaving the two scared.

"Ryoma, Inui is scary."

"You'll get used to it." Sakuno turned to look at Ryoma.

"How come you're not used to it? You see him everyday."

"I take back my words."

Later on, at about 11:45, the regulars gathered neared the exit of the ballroom, with the exception of Inui.

"Where's Inui?" asked Tezuka.

"he probably went ahead." Ryoma answered in which Fuji spoke after him.

"Momo, Kaidoh, I want to take to you about something." both stiffened, afraid of what to say, until Momo got the courage to actually utter some words.

"Fuji, uhm, why won't we talk about it later on?" he laughed nervously and scratched his head, "or maybe yet, tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I just have one question. Who-" Fuji wasn't able to finish his sentence though as someone came.

"Fuji!

"Oh no."

"Fuji, I ran into one of your friends just a few moments ago."

'the retro guy' Everyone turned to face the new arrival. When Fuji turned to acknowledge him for he was just behind his back, he turned ever so slowly.

"He said that he went ahead. You can go there anytime, but he suggested that you don't be late." those words stirred something up within Momo and Kaidoh.

"He did?" Momo glanced at his imaginary watch. "Oh look at the time, I don't want to be late, don't I?" and uttered yet another nervous laugh. "Better get going, buh-bye!" then he ran.

"Fshh... I better get going too, don't want Inui to get mad." and Kaidoh followed Momo."

"I just wanted to ask a question..." Fuji muttered to himself. Not long after, they started to walk towards their rooms in the 19th floor with the retro guy besides Fuji.

"Do you study in Seigaku, Fuji?"

"Why..." he was to say yes but then he remembered, he wasn't himself, right? He was the girl, Nakuru. "No"

"What sports do you play?"

"Tennis and Billiards"

"Favorite Food?"

"I like Wasabi."

"hobbies?"

"Photography, tennis, taking care of my cacti."

"How about..."

"Do you go to this school? Uhmm... Mr. Retro?" Yes, after all the bugging, Fuji still didn't know his name. 'Mr. Retro' though, laughed as he heard what Fuji called him.

"Yes, I'm a second year here, a regular in the soccer team. I don't get much free time though, too much extra curricular activities."

"ooohh" Fuji felt uncomfortable from the start. Apparently, he wasn't the only one.

'Nyah, I can feel it! Fuji and Tezuka's gonna kill me and that guy is making it much worse.'

'I'm worried for this guy. He seems quite insistent. He'll be heartbroken to find out that this Nakuru is Syuusuke.'

'I feel uncomfortable around him. He made people carry me off to the stage.'

'Mada mada dane, he'll get no where with Fuji.'

'It's obvious that he likes Fuji but I will make sure that he won't get anywhere with him. If he was part of the club, I'll probably give him thirty laps for annoying the members.'

"Is Tezuka your boyfriend" with that, Tezuka and the rest of the regulars stopped walking and Fuji bumped right into Tezuka's back.

"oww... Sorry 'bout that, Tezuka." from staring at Tezuka's back, he turned his head to meet 'Mr. Retro's' eyes and they started to walk again. "By the way, what's your name?" It was so obvious that Fuji was trying to change the subject as they neared their room.

"Touya. So, are you and Tezuka together?"

"Uhmm..." 'No, but I want to say yes because I don't want to break your heart by saying that I'm a guy.'

Sensing the uneasiness within Fuji and feeling quite jealous, Tezuka turned around, making everyone else wonder what he'll do. He grabbed Fuji's arm and said, "We're here, love. Goodnight, everyone" With that, everyone was bewildered, even Tezuka himself. 'I called him 'love' and I got jealous,' he glared at 'Mr. Retro.' 'over him. Unbelievable' everyone else, stared at the captain. Tezuka then turned around to face the bedroom door, got the card to his room and opened the door. He went inside dragging Fuji with him. As he was about to close the door, Fuji, being Fuji, spoke.

"Goodnight, guys. Goodnight, Touya. Sorry to have brought you here, your room is probably somewhere on the other side."

"Don't worry, Fuji. I dragged myself here, and my room is 191A, just besides yours." With those words, Tezuka stiffened and he felt as if he had been thrown into the sea.

Seeing Tezuka's uneasiness, Fuji's surprised look and Touya's smug look, the other four people in that corridor tried hard not to laugh out loud. Eiji and Oishi had a hand over their mouths. Ryoma was smiling and Taka was obviously trying his best not to even chuckle. They were having a grand time seeing the calm captain be this possessive and surprised. It was rather unusual.. Before Tezuka or Fuji could reply though, they heard someone shouting at the end of the corridor.

"How could you take a wrong turn?!"

"Hey, you followed me! Don't blame all this on me, Mamushi!"

"Of course I'll blame you! You were leading us!"

"And it was you who opened the door!" Both were oblivious to the fact that they weren't alone in the corridor.

"Because you were sure about where we were going, idiot!"

"How was I to know that 193A and 193B are different rooms?!"

"A and B are different letters!"

"Still, you opened the door! It was your fault we saw that woman in her underwear!" right after that last word was uttered, laughter came which caused them to shut up and blush.

Flashback:

"okay, here we are, Mamushi" they stood there, in front of the room 193B

"This is your room, right?"

"Yup, but the card is with Ryoma."

"We have to wait outside"

"I guess so." Then Kaidoh noticed the letter B

"Aren't you 193A?"

"What's the difference? It's still 193. It's not like this hotel is divided into the Eastern and Western division, A and B"

"Fshh..." and Kaidoh placed his hand on the doorknob. "it's not locked."

"huh? So Ryoma arrived before us?"

"Maybe it's Inui. He probably took an extra card or something. He did say that he'll be the one to carry our luggages to our rooms."

"Then let's go in!" Momo stretched, "I'm so tired! Can't wait to go to sleep!" and Kaidoh opened the door. As the doors opened, both their eyes went wide and their faces went red. Right in front of their eyes, a girl just took off her top. She turned and saw the two, frozen on the spot, and screamed.

"Security! Perverts!!" She covered her chest with her top and the two muttered apologies.

"Aah... we-we-we're sorry!" and shut the door quickly, but that didn't stop the girl from screaming. They were still in front of the door when they heard another voice belonging to a man.

"hon, what happened?"

"There were two guys who had weird costumes who burst in!"

"What the..." and the two heard footsteps going towards the door. They stiffened but was able to recover in time, and in a flash, they ran, escaping the man.

End of flashback

"Nyah! That is so weird! I wish that I saw it!"

"Eiji! Stop teasing us! It's already bad as it seems!" Momo blushed even a deeper shade of red as he finished telling the story.

"I know! That's why I'm laughing!"

"Aaahh! Stop it! All of you!" he met everyone's gaze, "Eh? Even you're laughing, captain?" Yes, Tezuka was laughing but only very softly.

"Yes. Who wouldn't?"

"Just... Agh! This is so embarassing!"Just then, the door belonging to room 194A opened, revealing the mastermind of this this adventure.

"I see that you guys are here already. Your luggages are already in the room. Momo, your room is 193A with Kaidoh." With those words, Momo and Kaidoh screamed.

"What? In the same room... with him?!" but alas, they were ignored by Inui.

"Taka, Ryoma, you're with me in this room. Oishi and Eiji, you're in 195A. Tezuka and Fuji, room 192A. You have your cards already?" With that, Ryoma gave the card to a very surprised Momo. "With the cards settled. Let's go to sleep. We don't want to wake up the other people here, do we?" After that, they all settled inside their rooms, except for Tezuka, Fuji, and Touya. The three were talking, and Inui was listening to their conversation from inside his room.

"So, how long have you and Tezuka been together?" Touya asked. It was Tezuka who answered his question.

"We'd rather keep that information confidential." it was either that or We aren't together. I just said what I said earlier because I was annoyed of you and your fondness of Fuji.

"You're really lucky, Tezuka." As this conversation between Tezuka and Touya continued, Fuji remained silent, thinking, 'As of 20 minutes ago, I'm known to be Tezuka's girlfriend... People think that I'm a girl, particularly Fuji Nakuru. People also know that I got into an accident, Fuji Syuusuke that is. Now, Tezuka's acting kind of weird. If I had known better, he's just saying these things to keep me safe, or, he's just jealous. Either way, why won't I have fun?'

"Saa... It's getting late, Tezuka. Let's go in." Fuji took one step inside his room as Tezuka was behind him. Before taking another step, he turned to look at Touya, "Want to come in with us, Touya?"

"I-" Before Touya could reply though, Tezuka beat him to it.

"No! As you said, it's already late." he said that while keeping his eyes on Fuji's form just in front of him, "We wouldn't want to disturb him."

"Oh, don't worry, it's-" once again, Touya wasn't able to finish his sentence.

"and I want to sleep already. So, goodnight." he took some steps forward and pushed Fuji gently so they could finally be inside the confines of their room. The moment that they were fully inside, Tezuka turned around and slammed the door shut in front of Touya's face.

"Whoa, that's one possessive boyfriend," and Touya went to the safety of his room.
