Disclaimer: Pot doesn't belong to me. Too sad, isn't it? The concept of OTP5 (Sanada, Atobe, Echizen, Fuji, Tezuka) doesn't belong to me either

Summary: Inui is being interviewed by a journalist (part4)

A/N: English is not my first language; feel free to point out the mistakes I made.

OOCness, attempt to humor, …

Dedicated to the people who, after having read "A life without you", thought I was depressed

Please read & review.


Journalist (J): Hello ! Welcome back to Inui's interviews part 4. I know I promised you to invite another player but he wasn't available. He'll probably come for the next emission. So Inui how are you today?

Inui (I): I'm fine and you?

J: I'm fine. Before leaving we talked about OTP5 and Sakuno. My question was about her grandmother's reaction when she learnt that her granddaughter was part of a fivesome.

I: Ryusaki-sensei was shocked. She didn't understand why her pure-hearted Sakuno could decide to live this world of lust. She tried to make her come home. She even threatened Atobe to sue him if he didn't let her go. I must admit that little Sakuno spent more time at Atobe's than at home.

J: What happened next?

I: Sakuno left OTP5 and went back to live with her grandmother. But it didn't last.

J: Why?

I: Sakuno was really unhappy. She no longer slept nor ate. She didn't work at school. She even accused sensei to prevent her from living.

J: Did Ryusaki-san know that she went out with Sanada and Tezuka at the same time?

I: Yes. It didn't bother her because she thought that it wasn't serious and that no physical intercourse was involved. She was right for the second part but these relations were serious. Sakuno really loved them.

J: When did Ryusaki-san realize that she had to let her dear granddaughter go back to OTP5?

I: Well as I've already said she stopped eating, sleeping and working at school. She spent most of her time on the internet chatting with Atobe and Fuji. Tezuka and Sanada are more obsessed by traditional things than them so she spent time on the phone with them. She saw Echizen everyday at school. From time to time she even skipped tennis practices to meet them in one of Atobe's flats.

She realized that she had to let her go after having been summoned by Sakuno's homeroom teacher. Her granddaughter was on the verge of repeating her class.

J: So she decided to let go so that she would work at school?

I: Indeed.

J: If I meet her, I mean Ryusaki-san, in the street tomorrow and I ask her about her granddaughter's choice what would she say?

I: She would say that as long as Sakuno is happy she is happy.

J: Last question about OTP5 for the moment. Do they intend to have a baby in a near future?

I: Yes but they still don't know who the father of their first child will be. They can't make up their mind and Sakuno doesn't want to choose.

J: I hope they'll find a solution.

I: Me too.

J: Let's talk about Nioh. He had a crush on Yagyuu. His nickname is "The Trickster". What is he doing now?

I: You won't believe me if I told you that he is currently working for a car company.

J: Nioh is selling car!

I: Not any cars, sports cars such as Toyota Celika, Ferrari, Porshe…

J: So he is no longer playing tennis.

I: I didn't say that. He plays double with Kirihara Akaya. They will participate to a tennis tournament organized by various car companies. They still are national-ranked players and there's no doubt that they'll win this competition.

J: To sell cars you must wear a suit. And …well… Nioh doesn't seem to be the kind of man to wear such clothes. Moreover he has a braid.

I: My God, you're full of prejudices. Even if he seems to be a goofy and mischievous man he has a serious side that few people have seen. Do you really think that he would have passed Rikkai Dai's exams without being serious? I really would like to know what a braid has to do with the ability to sell a car.

J: I apologize for this. But you'll have to admit that many people are thinking that a good salesman has short hair and is wearing a well ironed suit and a white shirt with a tie.

I: I know. Prejudices will be a part of my PhD.

J: What about Kirihara? Is he still violent when he plays tennis?

I: Kirihara is studying psychiatry. He is in his last year and next week he will start his training period. According to my data he will work with Kajimoto and another psychiatrist. I'm still looking for his name.

He is no longer violent. He sometimes loses his temper but he no longer plays to hurt his opponent.

J: Why did he choose to study psychiatry?

I: Just like Echizen he had a sort of Buchou complex. He was attracted by Rikkai Three Demons : Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirou and Yanagi Renji. His only obsession was to defeat them. He didn't want to be physically involved with them.

J: It doesn't explain why he chose psychiatry.

I: It's part of the explanation. As I said before your interruption, he was obsessed by these players. His only aim was to beat them. He would have done anything to achieve it. One morning he realized that this obsession was really unhealthy, that his family was really worried so he decided to go and see a psychiatrist. The man helped him. Now he wants to help people.

J: Can we talk about his relation with his double partner?

I: Of course. What do you want to know?

J: How did their partnership begin?

I: Yagyuu stopped playing tennis before entering University. Nioh wanted to go on playing double but he had to find a partner. He met Kirihara during a tournament in Hokkaido and asked him to play double with him during Osaka's tennis competition. He accepted only because he missed playing with his former team mates.

J: So they teamed up for a tournament and then it should have been over. So why did they go on playing together?

I: Birds of a feather flock together.

J: What are you meaning?

I: Well, both of them have a strange sense of humor. They both like to play tricks on people, horror movies… It was expected that they would end up together.

J: So they are tennis partners and lovers.

I: Yes. They are living in a lovely little house in Chiba. They have a black Toyota Celika and a grey Toyota Avensis. They also have a red-kneed tarantula called Chiyo and a salamander named Kykyo. And they are planning to….

J: Don't tell me they want to adopt a baby.

I: No baby for them. Their animals are really time taking. No I wanted to say that they are going to build a swimming pool.

J: Ok. Now I've a few questions from our audience. I would have liked to talk about other players but my boss wants me to ask you those questions.

I: I don't mind.

J: First question from Endoh Saori. She wants to know why you are wearing these horrible glasses.

I: Well Soari-chan. I can't wear contact lens. If I do my eyes become red and dry. I've a very sensitive retina.

J: Now a question from Serena of Atlanta. Why are most of the tennis players gay?

I: I don't know. It must be because we evolved in an all men environment. But as I said some of them are bisexual so if you want to have an affair with one of them, just send me an e-mail.

J: Sakamoto Nanao wants to know if Kajimoto is bisexual because she has a dog and she would be glad to share it with him.

I: I don't know if Kajimoto is bi. My data on him isn't complete so I can't tell. I'm sure that he would have appreciated your offer.

J: Last question from the audience. Junko Toshiro wants to know if you can coach him for his upcoming tennis tournament.

I: I would do it with a lot of pleasure. Just send me an e-mail and we'll discuss it.

J: Unfortunately it's time for "The young and the Restless" Thank you for coming Inui. I hope you'll come back tomorrow.

I: I'll come.

Inui leaves the TV set.

J: Tomorrow we will talk about Ootori and Shshido, Bunta and I'll try to get information on the wedding of Kaidoh's little brother. So please stay tuned.


Last A/N : I'm slowly running out of ideas. So if you have some suggestion, feel free to post them in your review or send me an e-mail. I'll be more than willing to use them in the next chapter of Inui's interviews. So stay tuned :)
