Fate or Destiny

"Ai, meet my twin brother. Shinji Ibu." Shizumi said to Ai, smiling for once.

Ai replied, "I know who he is Umi-chan! You showed me his picture AND I talked to him through that Webcam last week!" None the less, Ai shook his hand and greeted the boy.

Shinji, though in the mind was still processing the 'Umi-chan' bit, grasped Shizumi's hand and Ai's arm, then led the duo to a group of two, "Shizumi, Ai, these are the Tachibana siblings. Captain, An, this is my little sister and her best friend."

Shizumi scowled and with a straight face said, "Since when were you allowed to introduce us?" Immediately, Umi smiled and gave Shinji a one-armed hug.

Ai had walked over to the Tachibana's, "Hello you two! A question, do you guys know someone by the name of Ryoma Echizen?"

An lit up but Kippei answered for her, "Yup, why?"

Shizumi snickered (so OOC…), "We got him to sing…"

An, Kippei and Shinji were confused, so the duo didn't bother.

Ai walked up to An, "Hi An! My name's Ai Hayashi!"

An shook her outstretched hand, "Hello Ai! Hey, An and Ai!"

They giggled. Shizumi stretched her hand to Kippei, "Shizumi Ibu. Are you an acquaintance of Shinji-nii-kun?"

Kippei chuckled, "No, I'm his tennis Captain."

Shizumi looked startled, "So you're stronger then Brother?" Kippei nodded, "And can you beat him in a game of tennis?" Again, Kippei nodded, "Ah, so can anyone else kick Bro's butt?" Kippei chuckled and again nodded.

"Whoa Bro! You're either being surpassed at a fast rate or you're just being not-as-strong as most," Shizumi said teasingly.

Shinji scowled at her.

So the group left the airport with An & Ai chattering, Shizumi contributing little to the conversation, Shinji muttering about how he can't stay mad at his sister and Kippei chuckles.

All in all, they left in happy spirits.

"So, who were they, nya?" Eiji asked.

Ryoma thought back to the conversation at the airport. The one with the two girls, "I think…their names were Hatake and Uni…"

Inui clearly shook his head, "The probability of those being their name is only 8%."

Ryoma scowled. Instead, Kaidoh asked the next question, "Then who were they, Inui-sempai?"

"From the data I have gathered through their English conversation, those two are Ai Hayashi and Shizumi Ibu. The event that has just occurred was a prank; that song and Ryoma's voice were horrible. A favourable outcome to come out of all this is that we will gain an ally in Fudomine through the duo. It was expected, eventually, that those two will fall in love with one of ours. I have also calculated that fact that the certain event of us seeing them again will happen. Thank you for listening to my lecture, good day."

Ryoma glared at his sempai, "Inui-sempai, you're a stalker."

Kaidoh smirked, "Fssshh, Ryoma, this is normal for Inui. He's done a background check on almost everyone."

Eiji shuddered, "Scary…" Oishi smiled sympathetically at him.

Meanwhile, Tezuka and the trio freshmen were having a short conversation, "Captain?" Katsuo asked.

"Hm?"

"Will we see them again?" asked Horio.

Tezuka looked at them strangely, "Why would you ask that?"

"We will see them again. Of that, I have no doubt," replied someone.

And behind them was Fuji who spoke in English. The genius was smiling, smiling at what the future may bring…
