Tennis Match…!
"So let's like start!" Kosaki exclaimed, already changed into a cute tennis outfit.
Kosaki got into a serving position while Fuji just smirked at Saki who stayed behind the service line while Yukimura was up front. Saki just stood there, not even holding on to her racket tightly and wasn't even standing how a tennis player should stand. Yukimura looked worried, Fuji looked amused as always, and Kosaki had a sly smile on her face.
"Whatever," Saki muttered and rolled her eyes before she looked over at a huge tree behind the fence. "Hey, one of you eavesdroppers, ref!"
All the eavesdroppers froze slightly then decide to come out, embarrassed. Kirihara decided to take the referee spot. And so the games begin!
Kosaki threw the ball high up into the air and hit it with great speed and power… and towards Saki. Yukimura, who was on the other side of their portion of the court, decide to let Saki get it. I mean, how bad can she be? Saki took a step back and swung… and she completely missed…
Everyone sweat dropped, except for the Fuji who chuckled at her poor swing. Saki flushed and looked away.
"…15… love…?" Kirihara looked disbelievingly at the 'star athlete'.
Yukimura just smiled. "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Thanks Seiichi-kun," Saki sighed.
Of course Yukimura is way better than Fuji and Kosaki, so the Yukimura-Saki pair got the first game… but now its Saki's serve…
She mentally cursed as she was handed a tennis ball. She threw up the ball and swung… but only it had missed… She tried once again… she missed it again… and again… and again… and… she hit herself with the ball this time! …
"This is going nowhere," Nahaku shook her head.
"Interesting… Mitsuawa-san is horrible in tennis…" Renji scribbled something down in his notebook.
"Fuji-kun," Kosaki whispered to her boyfriend.
"Hmmm?" Fuji looked at her from behind.
"Like I don't like remember Onee-san being like this bad… like…" Kosaki stopped her sentence and frowned.
"Saa, maybe this is what happens when someone doesn't come in contact with tennis in years," Fuji replied. Or maybe she thinks she's too good to use her real skills… Hmm… Fuji smiled his famous smile as he looked over to his girlfriend who looked back at him with the same thought in mind. They nodded at each other.
"OMG! Mitsuawa-san! Learn to serve a god damn ball!" Kirihara shouted, who was probably one of the most people pissed off person in the world at this very moment. He glared at the brunette who keeps missing the ball. "Geez, this is going to take forev- OW!"
"Oops, sorry," Saki gave an innocent smile as a tennis ball whacked Kirihara in the face. "Hey! I hit it!"
Kirihara frowned, muttering something about 'doing that on purpose'. "Okay, maybe this time you can hit in on the court… 'cause that was OUT!"
"Well duh," Saki rolled her eyes. "I'm not stupid."
"Okay, that's it! Game Fuji-Mitsuawa pair! One all!" Kirihara yelled.
"What!" Saki felt a vein starting to pop. "You can't do that!"
"Yes I can! I'm ref.! That's what you get for hitting me in the head," Kirihara rubbed his head angrily.
"Fine, it's not like I care anyways," Saki muttered, but then she heard Kosaki's preppy voice.
"Like we got a game!" Kosaki cheered happily. "Like we can so like win now with Onee-san awful serves! Finally! Like I'm going to win against Onee-san for once! Yay!"
"This doesn't count as a win because of Kirihara-san's horrible refing," Saki pointed out.
"So?" Kosaki blinked with an innocent smile on her face. "Like a win's a win! I so like can't wait to like tell Otou-san and Okaa-san that I like finally beat you!"
Saki frowned, giving her twin a murderous glare while Kosaki stood on court looking adorable. Even if I HATE this sport, there is NO way I'm letting her beat me! Even if it is unfair…
"She's deep in thought," Nahaku pointed out, looking at her friend's facial expression.
"Kosaki," Saki said her name, with a look of determination in her eyes.
"Onee-san," Kosaki smiled and nodded.
"Seiichi-kun/Fuji-kun," Saki and Kosaki said their boyfriend's name. Fuji nodded while Yukimura looked confused until Fuji pulled him off court.
"What's going on?" Yukimura asked.
Fuji just smiled as Saki snapped at Kirihara. "Continue the match at 1-1."
Everyone excluding Saki, Kosaki and Fuji, looked surprised. "But-" Kirihara began but was interrupted.
"I think it's best to give the girls a one on one, no?" Fuji said.
"But Saki-chan can't-" Yukimura began but Fuji just smiled, like always.
"Watch," he said simply.
Kirihara looked at him then at the twins, then back at him. "O-okay, this match is resumed. Game: 1 all! Mitsuawa-imoto to serve!"
Kosaki smiled. "Like get really Onee-san! I've been like practicing!"
"Oh shut up and just serve!" Saki snapped, but then her eyes widen, feeling dizziness in her head. No! Why now!
Kosaki threw the ball in the air and hit it with full force. Saki shook her head and run towards the ball and gave a weak return, in which Kosaki easily hit it back and it turned into a rally. That is until Saki surprised her sister with a drop shot, winning the point.
"15-love!"
"How did she-" Yukimura looked surprised, as well as all the other Rikkaidai students.
"So older Mitsuawa-san knows how to play as well," Renji took out his notebook and wrote at lighting speed.
"Out! 30-love!"
They turned back to the match, looking at the ball that was on the other side of the baseline. Saki was smiling as her sister frowned. Kosaki got back in serving position and hit the ball… but in a strange way…
It looks like a weak serve but… can't be too careful now can we? Saki ran up to the ball and swung her racket… but the ball curved and landed. Saki's eyes widen.
"Like how's that Onee-san?" Kosaki smirk.
"Not bad… brat," Saki admitted.
"15-30!"
And so the game continued, Kosaki used that serve again, earning another point. Okay, focus Saki! Focus! Saki looked at the angle of Kosaki's racket as she served once again. Quickly, Saki responsed, and she hit the ball… on the fame of her racket and the ball hit the net.
"40-30!"
"So close," Yukimura sighed. "I didn't know she can play. Why did she pretend she didn't know how to play? She could be really good if she tried."
"She is good," Fuji spoke, earning the attention of the Rikkaidai buchou. "When we were little, we entered a lot of tournaments… with Saki-chan always coming in first. She could easily become a pro if she wanted to. Too bad she quit. But I guess we can count on Kosaki-chan to being back her full potentials."
"It works… somehow," Nahaku sweat dropped.
"They're always trying to go head to head with each other, with Saki-chan coming victorious every time, expect for one time. Saki-chan's the type who hates losing to her sister… the last time she lost… well let's just say you wouldn't want to be in the very same room as her."
"Is it really THAT bad…?" Nahaku asked, looking over to her friend. Well she can be scary when she wants to. "By the way, what did Saki-chan lost in anyways?"
Fuji didn't reply just smile. Which cause Nahaku to now be even more curious to find out…
"Deuce!"
Finally Saki was able to return Kosaki's serve successfully which Kosaki wasn't too happy about. This time she served normally and ran up to the net which Saki showed a look of shock as she hit it back. Kosaki got in position, and she volleyed it over the net just as Saki charged up front and dive for the ball, only to have Kosaki lob it over her head.
"Advantaged to Mitsuawa-imoto!"
"Great strategy: to lure her up front, and then, lobbing it to the far end of the court. Kosaki-chan really improved, especially her net play," Fuji commented.
"Oh?" Nahaku asked. "Is she bad at net play or something?"
"Bad?" Fuji smiled deeply. "Hmm… I'd say horrible. Usually, she crashes into the net every time her goes up there."
Nahaku sweat dropped and gave a strange expression to the tensai.
"Game Mitsuawa-imoto! 2-1!
Next was Saki's serve, in which she hit it perfectly, not that it was much of a surprise now. Saki hesitated after her serve, feeling a wave of dizziness hit her. She ran up and hit it cross court, making Kosaki run to the other side of the court.
"15-love!"
Saki smiled, though she was panting heavily as her vision became burry. She managed to shake it off and continued. Okay, so let's fast forward this match…
"Game Mitsuawa! 5-3!
Kosaki frowned. Like she isn't even like using her fullest abilities! So I'm not like good enough for her to like go like all out on her? I'll like show her!
Kosaki served the ball, only to have her twin hit it back. Maybe it's time I use that. She hit the ball low to the other side of the court, causing Saki to hit a lob. Perfect. Kosaki jumped up and smash the ball… into Saki's wrist! Saki's eyes widen as she dropped her racket from the shock as the ball bounced back to Kosaki. She smirked as she smash the ball on Saki's side of the court, earning her a point. Everyone was shocked.
"That's…" Sanada, who was quiet until now, frowned at the smash.
"Rondo Towards Destruction," Kosaki smiled in her cute way as her Onee-san gripped her right wrist in pain. She shouted all the way over to the other side of the court. "Oh I'm so like sorry Onee-san!"
"Sure you are," Saki mumbled. But how did she learn a move like that!
"Considering she's from Hyotei, Atobe must have taught her that move," Fuji smiled in his smiley way.
"Saki-chan doesn't look too good," Yukimura frowned, walking over to his girlfriend.
Fuji just watched them, he saw Saki shaking her head. Yukimura took her wrist, and Saki flinched. Fuji walked over to Kosaki.
"Care to explain my dear Saki-chan number two?" Fuji asked.
"May-be," Kosaki flashed a cute smile. "If you like please stop like calling me that. I know you're just like doing that to like annoy me. It's Ko-sa-ki-chan."
Fuji just smiled as he looked over to the elder twin, trying to convince Yukimura that she was okay. Fuji opened his eyes… wide, as saw Saki just suddenly fainted.
Saki's POV
Oww… where am I? My head… OW! I need my medication… badly… I opened my eyes, wondering what just happen. My vision's really, really burry… I hope I don't need glasses… Hey, there's something blue-ish… hair? …Seiichi-kun! My eyes flash open in a second, looking up at his worried expression.
"Seiichi-kun?" I heard my voice… I'm not even sure if that was me who spoke.
"Saki-chan, are you alright? Is your fever back?" Yup, that was me who spoke… wow I can't even tell if it's my own voice… I've come to a conclusion… I'm totally messed.
"Saki-chan, Saki-chan!" Oh, I forgot about Seiichi-kun! God, I'm stupid.
"Sorry, but I'm alright. No worries, see?" I said as I tried to lift myself off the ground, but then, I felt something burning: my wrist. Damn that brat. I can't believe she would stoop THIS low! Oww… It's red and really swollen… looks like a bruise. God, I hate her…
Suddenly, I felt a hand trying to help me up: Seiichi-kun. I smiled and flushed. He's so sweet! Finally, I'm standing on my own two feet. He looked at my swollen hand and frowned. "You can't continue playing; we should bandage up your wrist."
"But Seiichi-kun!" I tried to protest, but who honestly could win an argument with the Rikkaidai buchou?
"Aww, too bad, looks like Kosaki-chan wins by forfeit," Syu-kun said jokingly. I tried to take ten years off his life by giving him the glare of my devious eyes, but of course, he's immune to such thing. "Aww, don't give me that Saki-chan… number one…"
What did he just say…? FUJI SYUUSUKE, I HATE YOU! DAMMIT! STOP CALLING ME THAT!
"You're really asking for it," I hissed and before I knew what happen, it was like my body moved on its own. I was suddenly charging towards him with my fist in hand. Just as I got to the net I jumped over it, surprising Syu-kun and Kosaki. I smirked, getting really to mess up the 'pretty' face of his but… I suddenly felt like I was falling…
Normal POV
Saki jumped over the net, with a fist in hand, but her smile faded as her foot got caught on the net and she began falling… towards Fuji.
CRASH!
"Oww…" Saki mumbled as she pulled away from Fuji, she looked down at him. His face has a faint line of red across his cheek for some reason…
"Onee-san!" Saki looked up at her twin, her face was beat red as well. "How dare you like kiss my boyfriend!"
Kiss! What! Saki looked back down at the boy she was on top, he smiled. It wasn't his usual smile; it looked kind of silly to Saki.
"What? What happened?" Saki asked, feeling so confused.
Fuji coughed, trying to get rid of the blush mark. "Your lips… kind of… brush against mine when you fell…"
Saki flushed intently. "Holy- Someone, just kill me now!"
"If only I had my camera here," Fuji sighed, seeing how much panicky Saki was in.
"Oh shut up!" Saki snapped.
"Onee-san! Just like get off of my boyfriend!" Kosaki cried.
Saki looked back down at the smiling Fuji whom she was still on top. "OMG!"
She jumped away and backed away all the way to the net, panting heavily.
"Saki-chan?" Yukimura walked over to her.
"Seiichi-kun! Let's go!"
"What?"
Saki grabbed Yukimura's hand with her good hand before he can say anymore and raced off, but then, she stopped and turned towards her sister. "I did not lose! It's just postponed! Got it!"
Before Kosaki can reply, Saki ran off.
"Hey Kirihara-san," Nahaku called to Kirihara. "Got that?"
He grinned evilly and nodded, holding up his cellphone.
"Perfect."
"Yukimura-buchou will not be happy if you blackmail Mitsuawa-san with a picture of that," Sanada lectured.
"Aww," both juniors sighed, but then, Nahaku spoke up. "But you're still sending me that picture Kirihara-san!"
Sanada just shook his head while Nahaku smiled sadistically, thinking of what to do with that picture. "Hmm, too bad Ruka and Hahuri aren't here to see this… Wait weren't they…"
The Rikkaidai students's eyes widen, finally realizing they forgot a couple of juniors, who are probably suffocating in a trunk as we speak… Immediately all the Rikkaidai students, minus Renji who was writing down how stupid they all are for forgetting, as he puts it, he knew they were in there all along, yet inhuman to leave them in.
Saki's POV
Stupid, stupid, STUPID! How could I have k-ki-kis! AH! I can't even say that word! What is wrong with me? Saki threw herself onto her soft queen size bed and looked up at her ceiling.
Her room was quite large. Her room was painted to match the outside: a beautiful sky blue colour with soft white clouds and many different shades of green for the grass. And a lone Sakura tree paint was painted in the corner of her room where her bed stood with a pink veil coming down to the end of her bed. She looked over to her bed to find a white unicorn plushie with a pink mare and tail. She grabbed it and stared at it. Syu-kun…
Flashback…
Now seven year old Saki took a nicely wrapped baby blue present with a pretty white bow on top and began opening it. She put on the most realistic smile as she opened the present from her ex-crush, Fuji Syuusuke.
She reached in and pulled out adorable unicorn plushie. She just stared at it. "Um… thanks…?"
"Do you like it?" Eight year old, Fuji, asked in his childish voice.
"Unicorn?"
"Yeah! You said you like unicorns and you want one for your birthday!" he exclaimed happily.
"I did? Oh um… I did! I love it Syu-kun! Thanks! You're the best!" Saki exclaimed happily…as she put on a fake smile, cuddling the unicorn plushie as if she let go, her very heart would shatter.
Life was so much easier back then… sigh. Saki sighed. Suddenly, she smiled and walked out of her room.
The next day…
"Nya Fujiko, are you okay nya?" Eiji asked his best friend who seem… 'out of it' today.
They were currently on the courts, doing a bit of warm up before practice.
"I'm fine Eiji," Fuji spoke, deep in thought.
"Nya…?"
"Ii data," Inui popped out of no where. "Fuji isn't smiling."
"What are you talking about Inui?" Fuji asked… smiling.
"Fuji, are you okay? You're not sick or anything?" The mother hen of Seigaku asked, worried.
"I'm sure he's fine," Taka spoke timidly, until Ryoma give him a racket just for the heck of it. "BUUURNINGGGG! JUST SUCK IT UP AND BE A MAN, WHATEVER IT MAYBE!"
"Split personality much," a voice came from the entrances to the court.
Everyone turned to face the newcomer. Momo and Eiji backed away fast, Oishi and Kaidoh looked surprised, Taka was still in his burning mode, until Oishi took away the racket. Inui got out a notebook just in case. Ryoma just lowered his cap and said "Mada mada dane" while Tezuka looked stony as ever. Fuji just opened his eyes and stared at her and smiled. "Well, didn't expect you to come back here so soon Saki-chan."
The dark haired girl just 'hmphed' as she walked in, holding some large boxes.
"What is she doing here?" Momo asked, afraid to come any closer to her after what happened last time.
"Good question," Fuji walked up to the girl and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, don't look at me like that," she snorted, setting down the boxes and then she sighed. "I just came to say sorry, alright?"
"About what happened last night?" Fuji asked, tilting his head oh so innocently causing Saki to flush in a spit second.
"Last night nya?" Eiji asked. "Fujiko, did something happen between you two last night?"
"Hmm… may-be," Fuji put on his poker face, tried to hide his emotions.
"Nya! Stop doing that!"
"Doing what?"
"Nya!"
"Cough, cough," Saki coughed to get their attention. "I came to say sorry to your friend, whom I wasn't very nice to the other day."
She opened the boxes, which relieved to her food… really heavenly food.
Immediately, people started to drool. "I made these to say I was sorry."
"Well I forgive you!" Momo exclaimed, racing over to the boxes.
"Nya, wait up! It looks good, you shouldn't be so selfish! Nya!" Eiji ran over as well.
"Eat up, don't be shy," Saki smiled.
"Um… guys," Fuji began, looking concern. "I think it's best if I warn you-"
Too late.
Bite, crunch, swallow.
"Wow, this is de… AH! What is in this!"
"NYA! Water!"
"This is worst than Inui juice!"
"Ii data… I could use this in my new butch…"
"- that Saki-chan is a horrible cook," Fuji finished, looking around at the 'dead' bodies all over the court.
"Excuse me?" Saki asked, popping a vein. "I'm not that bad!"
"Kosaki beat you in cooking, no?"
"Oh shut up. She put wasabi in my food during the competition!"
"Sure…"
"… Hate you… T.T"
"I like you too. n.n"
"…"
Akisame: Kinda boring. T.T This is why I didn't want a tennis match in the story, but there was nothing else to put. Review please! Anyways I wrote out how this story will end. Some will hate it, some will like it (I hope) We'll see. n.n
Next Chapter:The Autumn Festival is coming! So it's time for perperations! But nothing ever goes perfectly without something going wrong. And at the same time, Kosaki thinks it's time Saki comes home… Next Chapter: Choas!
