Chapter Three

"Yukimura, are you absolutely sure about this?" Sanada asked, almost desperate for a "no."

"Of course, why else would I drag you and myself all the way to Seigaku?" Yukimura answered with a smile.

Sanada let out a defeated sigh.

Yukimura's smile widened.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

It was a normal day at Seigaku. Drills, swings and occasional chats filled the air as the tennis club conducted its normal practice routine.

"Fuji." Ryuzaki-sensei called. All halted whatever they were doing and looked at the tensai then to Ryuzaki-sensei.

Fuji approached her and asked: "Is something wrong, Sensei?"

Ryuzaki-sensei took a deep breath and pinched Fuji in the ear while she shouted: "FUJI SYUSUKE! WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT SANADA-KUN???!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!!!"

Everyone stared at the commotion.

Fuji cringed from the pain and asked: "Sensei, what are you talking about?"

Ryuzaki-sensei calmed down a bit and let go of Fuji's ear.

Fuji rubbed his ear and looked at Ryuzaki-sensei questioningly.

"Why did you not tell me that you were dating Sanada-kun?" Ryuzaki-sensei whispered.

At this point, even Tezuka was watching.

Fuji blinked twice. He knew that his cousin was up to something. He guessed that he'll just play along.

Hiding a smirk behind an apologetic smile, he said: "I'm sorry, sensei."

Ryuzaki-sensei sighed loudly and said: "He's waiting for you in my office. You can go now. Practice ends in a few minutes, anyway."

Fuji smiled, nodded and went away.

Everyone was still staring at Ryuzaki-sensei.

"Sensei, who's waiting for Fujiko, nya?!" Eiji asked.

"It's none of your business and everyone, dismissed!"

A loud chorus of "hai" was heard before everyone started to leave the courts.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

Fuji knocked twice before he entered.

"Sanada." He said in recognition.

Sanada just nodded.

"Seiichi?" he asked Sanada.

Sanada nodded for the second time.

Fuji sat on the chair opposite of Sanada which were in front of the table.

"What is he up to?" Fuji asked.

"I have no idea." Sanada replied truthfully.

Fuji sighed.

"I don't know what he's up to but I'll play along. So, Sanada, I understand that as of now, you're my boyfriend?" Fuji half-stated, half-asked.

"Yukimura told me to pretend to be your boyfriend. He said you'll cooperate." Sanada replied.

Fuji hummed for a while, thinking.

After a few moments, he gave Sanada a smirk.

'If that smirk is anything similar to Yukimura, I'm doomed.' He thought.

"Genichirou," Fuji started. Sanada looked at him inquiringly. Smirk in place, Fuji continued: "Let's go."

Fuji then grabbed a surprised Sanada by the arm and led him to the clubhouse.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

"Fuji, stop." Sanada commanded while he was being dragged by the shorter boy.

Fuji stopped and looked at him incredulously.

"That's Syusuke to you. And, before you complain, I'll say this to you: Seiichi told you to do this, right?" Sanada nodded. "If you don't manage to get this right, what do you think Seiichi will do?" Sanada paled slightly. "See, what I mean? I'm only helping you. I have to change first and get my things. So, 'boyfriend', follow me."

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

Everyone was startled when the clubroom door opened to reveal a slightly angry Fuji Syusuke.

"Fujiko-nya! I thought someone was waiting for you." Eiji said.

"I'll just change and grab my things." Fuji replied, a bit tense.

Fuji changed from his regular's uniform to casual clothes.

"Are you going somewhere, senpai?" Momo asked.

"Yes" was the only reply Momo got.

With that, Fuji went out.

"Raise your hand if you think that Fuji is acting weird." Oishi said.

Everyone except Tezuka and Ryoma raised their hands.

"Eh?! Echizen, you don't think Fuji-senpai is acting weird?" Momo asked the young prodigy.

"Fuji-senpai is always weird." He replied.

"Hoi, nya! Who wants to follow Fujiko?" Eiji asked while raising his hand.

Inui, Oishi, Momo, Kaidoh, Taka-san and Ryoma (surprise?) raised their right hands.

"Tezuka-nya, you'll go too." Eiji said.

"No," Tezuka replied firmly.

"But Tezuka, aren't you curious as to why Sanada is waiting for Fuji?" Inui asked him.

Tezuka looked at Inui.

"Fshuu…how did you know it was Sanada-san, senpai?" Kaidoh asked.

"Well, sensei's first statement was "Why didn't you tell me about Sanada-kun?" and her second statement was "He's waiting for you in my office." There's a ninety-nine percent chance that it is Sanada because of this data."

"Whatever, nya! Let's go already!" Eiji said to everyone while he grabbed Tezuka's right arm.

Inui tried to look like he wasn't offended.

"Kikumaru, let go." The captain commanded.

"But you won't come with us, nya." The redhead complained, blue eyes starting to water in preparation for the "kicked-puppy-dog-eye-look".

"I'll go." Tezuka said before going out the door.

Inside the room, Eiji gave a "V" sign and a huge grin.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

"So, Genichirou, where are you taking me?" Fuji asked sweetly.

Sanada mentally gulped.

"How about a drink?" Sanada asked.

"Good enough. I know a good café nearby." Fuji replied with a smile.

'What did I do to deserve this? Where is Yukimura, anyway?'

Fuji led him to an outside café.

"Excuse me but what will you have?" A waitress asked giggling a bit at the sight two handsome guys.

"Chocolate parfait." Fuji replied.

"Black coffee."

"Okay, your drinks will be served shortly." The waitress said.

Fuji just nodded.

"So, tell me, how's Seiichi doing?" Fuji asked.

"He's fine." Sanada replied.

"I don't know how to say this but thank you for always taking care of him." Fuji said.

Sanada looked at him and saw Fuji smile genuinely.

He didn't know what possessed him to do so but he found himself smiling back.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

"Look at that! They're smiling at each other!" Momo shouted.

"Momo-senpai, keep quiet." Ryoma urged.

"Iiiinnnuuuuiiiiiii….You're blocking my view!" Kikumaru whined.

'Now is a good time to find those aspirins.' Tezuka thought.

"Ara? What's Seigaku doing hiding behind a bush?" a voice asked.

'Oh god, what should I do? My reputation is at stake here.' Tezuka thought.

"Yukimura-san." He said to acknowledge the other boy.

"Tezuka-san, who are you spying at?" the other boy asked amiably.

He looked behind and saw Fuji and Sanada talking and all.

'Hmm….Good. I don't have to look for them.'

"Can I join you guys?" he asked.

They replied by making space for him.

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

After talking about tennis and Seiichi, Fuji asked: "Shall we go now?"

Sanada nodded and left some money on the table.

Both stood up and prepared to leave.

The other group kept on following them without the knowledge of already being spotted by our beloved sadist.

He inwardly smirked and let Sanada walk him home.

"Genichirou, thanks for today. I had fun." Fuji smiled sweetly with his eyes opened.

"It's alright. I had fun too." Sanada smiled a little.

Fuji tiptoed and gave Sanada a peck on the cheek.

Sanada blushed lightly and coughed. "I should be going now."

"You guys can come out now." Fuji announced to the street.

Sanada looked at him, surprised.

A soft chuckle was heard before Yukimura appeared followed by the rest of Seigaku Regulars.

"I suppose a cup of tea would do in exchange for an explanation." Fuji said with a sadistic smile.

"Hehe…"

That's how they ended up in the living room of the Fuji residence waiting for their confrontation (death?).

-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-o0o-

I really don't know if that was funny at all. Anyways, sorry for those bleeding eyes. There would be more about the "past" in the next chapter. I just have to put Yukimura-chan here. Is that considered as a spoiler?

Reviews, anyone?
