Sorry for the late update!
I'm quite busy with my studies but I do love writing short stories.
Chapter 4: Mishaps and Misconceptions
Sakuno paced around the room, wriggling her hands in frustration.
"I really have to pee," she thought despairingly. She just felt like that her urinary bladder was about to burst. She might have drunk some water when she nearly drowned.
"But I don't even know where the comfort room is," she thought. She just can't bring herself to ask Tezuka, she was still painfully embarrassed for what happened earlier. She might just die in embarrassment if they face one another.

"Tezuka, sorry if I have – I mean "we" have to barge in at your house at this time of the night," Oishi said as he talked to Tezuka who have a not-so-hospitable look on his face.
"Buchou's house is quite big, ne?" Momoshiro gaped in awe as he sprouted form behind Oishi.
"Hoi! Hoi!" Kikumaru affirmed.
"Eiji! Momo! Shut up!" Oishi reprimanded the two overenthusiastic tennis players.
"What is your business?" Tezuka asked straightforwardly. Of all days, he thought annoyingly.
"Erm, we really have to discuss on our next opponents, you see," Oishi trailed quite abashed by Tezuka's cold frankness. "Coach Ryuuzaki just told me yesterday that we should be prepared. She would not be able to supervise us because she has lots of things to do."
"I see," Tezuka said without any emotion. He turned back and walked inside while the rest followed.

Sakuno gave a sigh of relief as she closed the door of the comfort room. A while ago, when she could not contain it anymore, she scampered outside the room and tried every door she could lay her hands off, in her desperate search for comfort room.
As she gazed around the darkened hallway, she just recalled that she forgot where her room is.
"Never mind. I guess I just have to retrace my steps," she said as she tiptoed across the wooden flooring.

"Look at all the foodstuff inside!" Momoshiro exclaimed delightfully as he took a peek inside the refrigerator. "One wouldn't hurt, right?" he said to himself as grabbed a piece of muffin and started to gobble it.
"Momo, what exactly are you doing?" Kikumaru asked.
"Eating, can't you see?"
"Y-you're STEALING," Kikumaru whispered in a heavy voice. "Give that back!"
"But I've already eaten half of it and besides…" Momoshiro did not finish his sentence as he scurried away from his senpai.
"Hey!" Kukumaru called off as he sprinted after him.

"Is it left or right?" Sakuno asked herself with beads of perspiration starting to form on her forehead. Why does Tezuka-buchou's house have to be this large?
"I guess it's left," she supposed after some seconds of contemplating. Then, she ran silently careful not to make any noise.
Dashing along the gloomy corridor, she didn't notice Momoshiro and Kikumaru who were running towards her direction.
And inevitably, they collided with one another which resulted in a loud crash and a deafening shrill.
The clamor made Tezuka and Oishi stopped their discussion and rushed to the source of chaos. Tezuka turned on the lights as he took notice of the scene before him.
Kikumaru fell stop Momoshiro, who in turn, tumbled upon Sakuno. Without more ado, he helped pull the young girl from the crushing weight of the two tennis players. He just didn't know how she ended up being here at the hallway while he instructed her to remain inside the room.
"S-senpais?" Sakuno asked astonishingly at the two.
"Ryuuzaki?!" Momo and Eiji cried in unison in an astounded manner
"What are you doing here?!" Momo asked his eyes as big as saucers.
"Why is your hair damp? Had you just taken a shower?" Kikumaru inquired, his imagination zooming into exaggeration.
"Do you live here? Do you sleep here?" Momo asked simultaneously.
Do you have any relationship with the Captain?"
"We thought you like Echizen!" Oishi exclaimed who was also quite shocked.
"When have you started living together?" Kikumaru queried enthusiastically, bouncing up and down like a TV reported who just caught an ambush interview with the juiciest gossip ever. "Do you-"
Tezuka cleared his throat and they all fell silent. It took him just plain fifteen minutes to explain everything upon the three.
None of the three said anything as they left prematurely and from the looks of their captain, any leaks on what they saw tonight would surely earn them more than a hundred laps.
