Chapter 4: Senpai to the Rescue

After the one hour trip, they've finally reached the mountain in Osaka. Now they were walking towards the rented house wherein they will going to live for one week.

"Sakuno-chan!" Kintarou finally uttered to Sakuno after the confrontation in the bus. "I-I'm sorry for not telling you abou-"

"No…don't worry, i-it's not your fault…I'm not mad…"

"Really? You're not mad? Then why you didn't talk to me when we were still inside the bus?" Kinatrou said in a worried tone.

Sakuno begun to smiled sweetly.

"I'm sorry…It just…my mood became sour after the confrontation happened!"

"So, you don't hate me?"

"O-Of course not!"

"Yay!" His face back again to jovial mood. "Arigato gozaimasu! Now I'm relieved!...Uhmm…Sakuno-chan…"

"What?" She asked confusedly.

"Can I-I hold y-your han- " Before Kintarou finished his sentence, he was been cut-off by Ryoma who passed between them.

"Hey…Whatta…" Kintarou growled.

But the tennis prince just ignored him.

"Kintarou-kun! What do you want to say a while ago?" Sakuno continued.

"Err…N-never mind…" The red haired replied tensely.

When Momoshiro and Kikumaru saw what Ryoma does, they immediately rushed beside their kohai.

"Hey Echizen! It seems that you're becoming jealous of that monkey guy! Huh?" Momo whispered.

"Ne- Do you want us to end his life right now?" Kikumaru said teasingly.

The tennis prince just gave his senpai a glare.

"Baka senpai…I'm not jealous or anything…" He said in a non-chalant voice. "There's no way I would be jealous…it's not in my vocabulary…"

Then Ryoma left his two senpai behind.

"Poor Ochibi! He can't express what he feels or maybe…he just simply doesn't know how to express it…" Kikumaru whispered to Momoshiro in a profound tone.

"Yah! He can't express it because his ego is so unreachable…I think he would just prefer to die rather than to show any emotion! Sometimes, I hate him from being cold and dense…" Momo replied.

"Ne- So as his senpai and older brothers, our mission is to protect his girlfriend from other guys since he can't do it by himself!"

"G-girlfriend? You mean Sakuno-chan?"

"Hai!... Look at that guy" Kikumaru pointed Sakuno who was on that time, laughing with Kintarou. "We should not let him spend time with my Sakuno-chan…I-I mean with Ochibi's girlfriend! Okay?"

"Do you think it's a good idea?"

"Yup! Trust your Senpai! So, let's do it now!" Kikumaru said cheerfully.

After awhile, Momoshiro went beside Kintarou and dragged the boy apart from Sakuno.

"W-wait Senpai…Where are we going?" Kintarou whined.

"Don't call me senpai we're not close!" Momo retorted.

"Yay! Then what do you want me to call you?"

"Uhm…uhum…call me Master Momo! But don't assume that I've already accepted you to join our practice! Okay?"

"M-master Momo? O-okay! So what do you want me to do now, master?" Kintarou asked confusedly.

Momoshiro didn't expect that Kintarou will ride on with him immediately.

"He called me Master…cool…I didn't expect that I will make him believe as easy as this!"

"M-master?" Kintarou repeated.

"Uhm…bring all my baggage because I can't carry them anymore!"

Kintarou immediately followed Momo's order. While the boy was encountering difficulty in carrying all the baggage, Momoshiro took advantage the situation and went happily to his Senpai Kikumaru.

"Success!"Momoshiro said to himself.

Also on that time, Kikumaru dragged Sakuno away from Kintarou. He dragged the girl as fast as he could until they didn't notice that the two of them were now walking beside Ryoma.

"W-wait senpai…why do we need to walk so fast?" Sakuno asked confusedly.

"Nya- We should reach the rented house before it gets dark! This place is very delicate especially for a cute girl like you!"

Upon hearing it, Sakuno immediately blushed. When Kikumaru saw the red face of the girl, he found it so cute causing him to lose his self control and hugged the girl.

"Eh…S-senpai……I-I can't breath!" Sakuno said between her breaths.

Ryoma gave a murderous glare upon seeing them. Later on a hard racket landed on Kikumaru's head causing Sakuno to get away from his senpai's hug.

"Yauch! Hey! Ochibi!" He paused for a while. "O-Ochibi? What are you doing here? Arggggg……No…It's not the question here! Why did you do that to me?"

"I grip it out!" He said non-chalantly. Then he gave his senpai a glare.

"Really? Then why are you looking at me like that? Nya?!"

Ryoma didn't answered and just continued to glare into his senpai.

Sakuno immediately felt a hot tension between the two boys. She only felt relieved when his senpai Momo came out from nowhere.

Momoshiro was standing there for a long time and just observing his teammates so he witnessed the root of the conflict. He found the situation dangerous so he just decided to get himself involved.

"What are you doing Kikumaru-senpai? Did you already forget our mission? Our mission is to protect Ochibi's Girlfriend not to steal his Girlfriend away from him!" Momoshiro thought while he was walking towards his senpai.

"Hey! Kikumaru senpai!" Momo yelled. "Will you stop that now? You're just making the situa-"

"You're just making the situation worst!" Momo was been cut-off by a casual voice from Fuji.

"Ya! You've got it right Fuji-Senpai!" Momo exclaimed.

Upon hearing it, Kikumaru dismissed his glare to Ryoma (However Ryoma was still glaring at him.) and begun to beamed cheerfully.

"Nya- I'm sorry Ochibi! I forgot that I went here to bring your girlfriend to you!" Then he pushed Sakuno to Ryoma's direction. Until that time, the girl still doesn't know what her senpai talking about.

Kikumaru then turned his head to Momoshiro.

"Nya- I'm sorry! I forgot our real mission!"

"I't's okay!...And we should also thanked Fuji-senpai for that!" Momo said while looking at Fuji.

"Uhm!" Fuji nodded. "I've heard what the both of you are planning to do, so I decided to involved my self here since I'm also one of your senpai!" He continued.

"I'm glad to know that you understand us!" Momo replied gladly. "At least you can also help Echizen to understand what he feel right now!"

"Okay!" Fuji exclaimed. "I think we should go now so that we can reach the rented house before it gets dark!" Fuji turned his eyes to Sakuno who was still can't relate to the conversation of the boys. He extended his hand to her.

"Sakuno-chan… hold my hand so that you won't get lost!"

The girl confusedly followed her senpai.

"Uhm...H-hai!"

"Ey Sakuno-chan! I also want to hold your hand!" Then Kikumaru went beside Sakuno and grabbed the other hand of the girl. The Three of them walked away briskly liked nothing happened.

"Eh? W-What's that?" Momoshiro didn't expect that his senpai Fuji will do the same thing as what his senpai Kikumaru does. "I-I thought they've now understand!"

When he remembered Ryoma, he worriedly turned his head to his Kohai's direction. He caught the boy still giving a deadly glare to their two senpai.

"Arggg…what will I going to do now?...I can't believe that those two perverted guy are my senpai!" His eyes referring to the three people walking away from them. "Im going to be crazy!"He shouted in his mind.

"Uhmm…E-Echizen?!"

Ryoma gave his senpai glare.

"Hn…" The tennis prince moaned harshly.

"Echizen! You know…Uhmmm…" Momo still can't find the right word to lessen Ryoma's anger. "Err…a ha…ha…! Maybe they're just joking!" He finally uttered. "What did I've said…?"

But it didn't help. Ryoma was still glaring at him intently.

"Uhmm…" Momo gave a mocking snort. Then he finally decided just to drag his kohai to their destination.

"Echizen, we better go now it's already getting dark! Don't be bothered anymore… they will surely take good care of Ryuzaki-chan!"

Ryoma lowered his cap and unwillingly followed his senpai.

"I'm not bothered about her!" He retorted.

"Yah!...Fine!" Momoshiro muttered.

The two of them reached the rented house before it got darks. They caught Tezuka discussing something. The two boys immediately went to the nearby chair and sat.

Ryoma begun furtively searched for Sakuno only to see the girl talking with his senpai Fuji.

"Idiot Fuji senpai!" He murmured.

Meanwhile, Tezuka started to discuss something important.

"Okay now! We are going to organize our room assignment." Tezuka gets a bowl filled with rolled paper inside it. He showed it to the group. "This bowl contained papers that have different sign printed in it. Each one of us will going to pick one paper and those three people who've got the same sign will going to share the same room!" He placed the bowl into at the table.

"You can now pick one paper!"

After a second, each people in the group finished to pick their chosen paper.

"I've got a star!" Fuji said casually. He turned his head to Sakuno. "How about you Sakuno-chan?"

Upon hearing his senpai, Ryoma immediately move closer to hear the girl's answer.

Sakuno nervously unfolded the paper in her hand

"I-I've got a star too!" She said with a smile.

When Ryoma heard Sakuno's answer, he lowered his cap to hide the annoyed expression that started to appear in his face.

"I'm glad to know that we're going to share the same room Sakuno-chan!" Fuji beamed to Sakuno. "I wonder who was the third person who'll going to share the same room with us!" Then Fuji glanced at Ryoma who just gave a deadly glare in returned.

"Uhmm…How about you Echizen?" Fuji continued.

Ryoma didn't answer. He just dismissed his glare to his senpai and curiously looked at the paper he was holding.
