A/N: I just have this random thought… Why do people write? And, I came to conclusion that there are probably 2 kinds of writer. Those who love writing things that they like and those who love writing things that their reader like.

I decided to extend this chapter so that I could introduce the girl next few chapters. The next chap, as you can see, also posted. Wow, I am tired! My head is over flooded with ideas keep prevent me from stop writing. I need some sleep!

Reviews would be nice… criticisms and flames are welcome… praises, if any, would be awesome. Any correctionzzzzzzzz would be very much appreciated! Just as you know, English is my second language but I tried my best to proof read this fic.

Bold words are just my random thoughts.

Italic words are what the character thought at that time.

Mada mada dane, Momo-chan senpai

The rest of the morning practice went by uneventfully so we just fastforward!!!! Yey!

'Wow… that was a pretty hardcore morning training we have. I am getting hungry, I wonder if I have time to grab some food before class', Momo said to Echizen while changing to his school uniform. Echizen was only half-listening to his Momo-chan-senpai. He was dead-tired. It was a good thing his first period was English, at least he can get some sleep before the afternoon tennis practice.

'When the hell you are not hungry, you bastard', Kaidoh said quietly. But not quiet enough.

'What did you say, Mamushi?! Are you trying to piss me off?' Momo yelled at Kaidoh. At this point, Momo and Kaidoh walked towards each other to fight.

'I am so tired, nya… Can both of you just stop fighting? Where do you guys got all those energy from?' The usually hyper-excited acrobatic tennis player complained.

Before Oishi had anything to add to what Kikumaru had said. Momo's stomach grumbled. Then, Momo ran out of the clubhouse. 'FOOOOOOOOD!' Momo yelled.

Echizen followed Momo after he finished changing because apparently, Momo forgot his Math book. 'Mada mada dane, Momo-chan-senpai.'

Kaidoh also left because he also felt hungry. Yes, Kaidoh was actually felt hungry. But, he would never admit it to Momo because the thought of agreeing with the peach-head disgusted him.

So, if my calculation was correct, that would leave all the third year regulars in the clubhouse… lets just say everyone was there except Tezuka.

'I am soooooo tired, Oishi', Eiji said while pouting… while changing into his school uniform…

'I know, Eiji… I am tired too… I just hope that I don't fall asleep during class', Oishi said.

'Yea… me too… and I have a test in my first period… I hope I will managed to finish the test before falling asleep', said Kawamura, sadly.

'Don't worry, Taka-san. You will do fine,' Fuji said, giving Kawamura a sweet smile.

'You know Tezuka was grouchy today, nya… To be honest, I am not looking forward for this afternoon practice', Kikumaru said.

'There is a probability of 80 that Fuji is the reason why Tezuka is having a bad day', Inui said and suddenly appearing behind Kikumaru.

'WAAARGH! Where in the world did you come from, Inui. Stop sneaking behind other people', Kikumaru yelled. Kawamura agreed but didn't voice it out.

'What makes you think Fuji caused it, Inui?', Oishi asked in concerned.

'Because Tezuka didn't spoke even a word to Fuji the whole morning practice and Fuji didn't mind the silent treatment. In fact, Fuji's smile was wider by 25 and more sadistic by 60', Inui explained.

'Is that true, Fuji?' Kawamura said. He never likes to see his friends fighting each other or giving silent treatment to each other. 'I don't think that is nice, Fuji.'

'Saa… I was just merely pointing out the obvious fact. Besides, Tezuka was taking the issue too seriously. Um… Maybe I should tell him that if he is too serious about everything he could get wrinkle', Fuji chuckled.

'Fuji, whatever you said to Tezuka, I think you overdid it. You know that, it is hard for anybody to make Tezuka angry to the point of displaying his anger', Oishi said.

'Oishi is right, nya… Fujiko, maybe you should apologize to Tezuka and say that you didn't mean it', Eiji said while clinging to his best friend, Fuji.

'Taka-san, didn't you say that you have a test in the first period?', Fuji asked Kawamura. Obviously, ignoring Oishi and Kikumaru.

'OMG!' Kawamura ran out of the clubhouse with Fuji behind him.

Inui followed the two while murmuring, 'I was right!' to himself.

Kikumaru and Oishi look at each other for a few second before Kikumaru realized that he was running late for class. 'Waaaa….! Got to go, Oishi', Kikumaru said while running out the clubhouse, frantically.

'Be careful, Eiji!' Oishi called out to Kikumaru.

Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish

There was not much change to Tezuka's mood since the morning practice. The bad news was, the afternoon practice started exactly the same way as that morning. This time, even though everybody finished warming up after 10 minutes SHARPED, Echizen came late because he overslept. Thus, granting 30 laps for everyone and additional 30 laps to Momo and Kaidoh.Nobody really blame Echizen really, because everyone from Seigaku's Tennis Club did fell asleep in their classes and they were actually lucky to get up for the afternoon practice.

Other than that, the first half of the afternoon practice went by uneventfully so we just fastforward!!!! Yey!

'Oishi-Kikumaru pair and Momo-Kaidoh pair will have practice match at court A, and Fuji-Kawamura and Me-Echizen pair will have practice match at court B. Is that alright with you, Tezuka?' Inui suggested to Tezuka while looking down at his green notebook. 'And I think we can increase the training menu for the regulars by 1.36. Except you and Kaidoh. You guys can only increase your training menu by 1.21. (What?! What was the difference, Inui?!)'

Tezuka wasn't really listening to Inui. It wasn't because he was tired of listening to Inui, it was just that he was distracted by a few girls from the Cooking Club who were talking to Momoshiro. Suddenly, weirdly enough, he felt his anger dissolved. Momoshiro went back into the court after finished talking to the girls.

A cute pinkish white bunny randomly popped into Tezuka's mind. Tezuka didn't have time to dwell on the randomness as Fuji stood beside him. 'Who caught your eye, Tezuka?' Fuji asked innocently. Perhaps a little too innocent for Tezuka's liking but Tezuka ignored Fuji's comment.

Fortunately, to all Seigaku Tennis team members, Tezuka mood improved. The practice was better and everyone was happy in the end of the day. Needless to say, the only unhappy person would be Inui. He was so upset because he couldn't figure out what made the Zero Shiki Drop expert's bad mood disappear. How could he miss such important moment when Tezuka's mood changed drastically because he was very sure that it happened in front of him.

Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish

'Tezuka…' Oishi said catching Tezuka's attention. They were both in the clubhouse changing into their school uniform. He knew that Tezuka always was the last to be in the clubhouse because it was one of a captain's responsibilities to lock the clubhouse at the end of every practice. Although, he felt that maybe he was a bit late to talk to Tezuka about his bad mood today since obviously he saw Tezuka's mood had improved. So, whatever was bothering him probably had gone. But, being Oishi, he couldn't let go of the issue that quickly. At least, I want him to know that I will always be here if he needs me, Oishi thought.

'Oishi?' Tezuka replied with his back facing Oishi because he still needed to button his shirt and zipped up his trousers.

'You were pretty upset today, Tezuka', Oishi began. He noticed that Tezuka paused for a few second before continued dressing himself again.

'I know, Oishi, I am sorry', Tezuka replied. He did feel sorry. He promised himself that it would never happen again.

'We were all worried about you, Tezuka', Oishi said with concerned. Well, at least I did and I am sure most of the regulars did. Although, I can't really speak for everyone, he thought with smiling Fuji in his mind.

'Thanks, Oishi.'

'If you have any problem, you can always talk to… me', he was hesitating to say "us" because again he couldn't speak for everyone.

'Thanks, Oishi.'

'I am serious, Tezuka, if there is anything… anything at all.'

'Thanks, Oishi.'

'I insist, Tezuka. I am an open minded person. You can tell me anything!'

'Thank you, Oishi. I will keep that in mind.'

'I am also non-judgmental kind of person. You know that, right Tezuka? You can tell me anything. Even the things that you cannot change, like your feelings. If you talk about it, it can lighten your burden. And if you like we can share the burden together. Don't hide your feeling, Tezuka. Don't bottled it up, Tezuka. Share it…! I will always be there if you ever need me… if you want, I can accompany you confronting the person who troubles your mind', Oishi being Oishi didn't realize he overdid it. He just knew that he needed to convince Tezuka that he sincerely there to help. Little that he knew that whatever he just said made Tezuka curious. Why do Oishi's words bore resemblance to my conversation with Fuji yesterday? Tezuka thought.

'Oishi…' Tezuka paused and turned around. Feeling unsure if he should ask his friend this, 'Fuji didn't, by any chance, tell you why I was upset, right?'

Oishi didn't know how to answer that question. He didn't want Tezuka to be angry on Fuji again. But, he also couldn't lie to his bestfriend, Tezuka. So, he decided to simply nod.

Oh great…! Now the whole world is going to know that I have a feeling towards Momoshiro…, Tezuka thought grimly.

Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish—Silent Wish

As Tezuka promised himself, the rest of tennis practices for the week went normally. Well, except for a 'few' additional laps for Fuji for 'spreading' his gossips and for Momoshiro for simply being Momoshiro. (We can assume Kaidoh also got the additional laps because most of the reasons that Tezuka used to give laps to Momoshiro also happen to involve Kaidoh)
