HEY all! Torture period is finally over and I just have to wait for my results which I so totally think I flunked in almost all of the subjects except art! Anyway, as celebratory to my horrible upcoming results, here's the next chapter! And as I say, a story is not a story without tips and advices! SO REVIEW OR DIE. Thanks!

Eri: She's crazy.

Fuji: Hmmm, reminds me of someone, dun you think?

Eri: really? Who is so awesome as to be like the person above?

Fuji: I thought you just said she was crazy?

Eri: Crazy to think she flunked in her mid years! She's too smart to flunk!

Tez: really? I think she's crazy to make you my cousin.

Fuji and Eri: TEZUKA?!

Eri: nowadays you appear at places you are most likely DUN appear at.

Tez: Oh ya.. I let my guard down.. I forgot..

Fuji: you forgot something?!

Tez: Came to tell you to… RUN one hundred laps around the court!! And review!

(Normal POV)

"How's she, Tezuka-kun?"

"She's alright. Her elbow is perfectly fine but she would have to leave off all exercise for two weeks. And apparently, your team mates need some disciplining. Thankfully Fuji is here to help out. As long as he doesn't help out in anything that concerns medical care."

"Hello? Right here?" Fuji waved from his seat next to where Erika was laid.

"I am sorry about the accident and of course, punishment would not be pardoned." Kimoto added with an apologetic smile.

"Hello?! Are you guys here to see me or go all lovey- dovey? I am existent you know." A voice came from behind.

"Erika! You're awake!"

"Yeah. Took you long enough to notice. But it's ok. I've got some awesome shots!" Erika added with a smile as she pulled out her digital camera and looked through the photos she took when Kimoto and Tezuka was deep in their conversation with Fuji looking over her shoulder.

"…."

There was a short moment of silence before…

"OLIVIA SUZUKI ERIKA!" both captains bellowed.

As the squabble continued, Tezuka watched the three from the sidelines and sighed. "Once again, I have let my guard down…"

(Fuji's POV)

This lesson seems to be a repeat of what Katashima sensei taught yesterday. It doesn't seem to capture anyone's interest..

Fuji looked around the classroom till his eyes landed on the girl seated right in front of him. As usual, she was slouched on the table sleeping with her so-black-it-looks-blue hair covered all over her face.

I just knew she would be sleeping! Isn't she always? Come to think of it, she has an amazing ability to sleep in any position!

Fuji looked out the window amazed at her special ability when he suddenly recalled what happened yesterday.

--flashback—

"Yeah.. Its all good.. Are the two hurt? How is Tetsuko's arm? The arm is important for a tennis player you know" Erika winced at the pain while forcing out a smile.

"ERIKA! Then what about you? You still have to play you know!! What am I going to do if you can't play tennis anymore?!" Kimoto accidentally said out.

--back to reality—

Fuji's eyes flashed open as he thought about what Kimoto said.

"ERIKA! Then what about you? You still have to play you know!! What am I going to do if you can't play tennis anymore?!"

This sentence repeated in his mind over and over again. What did Kimoto-chan mean by that? Did Erika actually play tennis? Why did she keep it a secret? Does Tezuka know? Questions flooded his mind and Fuji could not shake them off.

"Ne Fujiko! Fujiko!!" Eiji said with exasperation.

"Eiji! Gomen. I was thinking about yesterday."

"Hoi hoi nya. I won't be surprised. Yesterday's practice was shocking! I wonder if Eri-chan is really in fact alright."

Fuji nodded despite the fact he was thinking about what Kimoto-chan said. In his heart he knew it was better if no one realized what he heard yesterday.

(Erika's POV)

Class finally ended! YES!! IN YOUR FACE KATASHIMA! I AM FREEE!!

Kimoto did not have class with me during that period and I quickly ran out of class to look for her. Lunch period is the time for serious talking with her. No one asked about what she accidentally slipped out yesterday and that was a great relief. I wouldn't know what to say to them other wise!

"Eri-chan!!"

I turned my head to see Eiji waving to me like crazy and making his way towards me. Fuji calmly walked next to him.

"Hey guys! Heading for the cafeteria?"

"Ahh. Eiji and I are meeting Tezuka and the others. Want to come with us?" Fuji replied with a smile.

"I am kinda meeting Kimoto though…"

"No worries! Just bring her along!" Fuji said as he grabbed my bag from my hand and slung it over his shoulders.

"Yeah! The more the merrier! Besides, Tezuka won't be so stiff then!" Eiji said as he pushed me from behind towards Kimoto's classroom.

"Well I guess so!"

So much for having a proper talk with her alone!

(Kimoto's POV)

"IDIOT! Quit stealing my food!!"

"MAMUSHII! What did you say?!"

"Read my lips! QUIT - STEALING - MY- FOOD"

Once again, a food fight started in the table where all the regulars were sitting. It happens all the time. Repeat, ALL THE TIME. A piece of sushi here, a piece of fish there, as long as there was flying food among the table, it would be from Momo and kaidou's section.

"They're at it again.." i sighed as i racklessly banged my head on the table.

"Kimoto, i thought you were used to it already."Erika grumpily added.

"Come to think of it, what's with you? you're so weird out today."

"NO. I just dun get a chance to talk to you without being interfered or stopped!"

I just knew it. Yesterday's incident was bugging her. And it is not because Nomi totally trashed her arm. I knew what i said was totally careless. At times like this, Tezuka-kun's phrase really comes to use. Come to think of it, where is he?

Just then, a holler was heard from the cafeteria door.

"MOMOSHIRO, KAIDOU! 40 LAPS AROUND THE SCHOOL! NOW."

Speaking of the devil! We all turned to see tezuka with his arms folded in front of him and his golden-brown eyes staring at the two sophomores like blazing balls of fire. That meant bad news for the two.

Both immediately got up from their seats and ran out of the school building to run their rounds. Even if he heard anything about Erika playing tennis yesterday, it doesn't seem to have changed him at all. Tezuka is still Tezuka.

HEY LOVELY READERS!! The chapter is over and I know it does not really say much about what is going to happen but I figured its best to make it clear that Fuji suspects something already. Besides, he is one of the important characters! I have an announcement to make:

I need some of our readers to give me a profile of them so that I can put them in my story! Really simple!

Eri: sounds fun!

Fuji: Just requires the name, description of looks, character and likes and dislikes!

Kim: I feel so guilty about everything Erika!

Eri: UNFORGIVABLE!! Shoo.

Fuji: REVIEW!
