Yippee!!!! SAT 1 Exams is SO over!
I'm one of the happiest people on earth right now, Mwahaha!
Thanks for reviews and Story Alert/Favorite added! It really made my day!
I'm sure I've replied all the reviews via PM, but if I didn't, then I'm very sorry! Please try to use your account when you review as I can reply it easily and it won't be as messy as when I have to type it up again…
…I tend to forget who I am writing to if I have to type it up! XD
Disclaimer: You know who owns Prince of Tennis, and it's not me!
The vote between Tezuka and Atobe is still on! And if I get numbers of reviews or PM saying that you readers would like some fluffiness between Niou and Kasumi then I'll write it!
I'd still appreciate comments on how this story is going, as well as about the one-shot! XD
Writing a fluff between them will be loads of fun to write! Hehe, I'm sure it'd be like trying to do Mission Impossible! But it'd still be challenging, though!
Seeing as how the votes for Tezuka and Atobe are going so far, maybe I should do alternative endings for both of them?
Anyway! On with the story!
Warning: some spoilers up ahead!
Day 3 and 4: EBIL training continues and discussion with Yuushi
Day 3…
Ah… Nice cup of hot chocolate to start off the day… What can be better than this?
Oh I know… Please remove Atobe from in front of me!
I sigh in annoyance; can't a girl enjoy her breakfast without being watched by a total arse who's in love with only himself?
This is WAY too early for me to deal with this arrogant jerk! It's only 8am in the morning!
Nooo! Kami must hate me so much to start off my day with this!
"Oi Atobe, I know I'm beautiful and you can't stop looking at me, but can't you just let me enjoy my breakfast first?" I glare at the guy.
"Arn? Don't flatter yourself that much, Kisaki." He smirks as he flips his hair.
My left eye twitches furiously. KAMI! CAN I CUT HIS HAIR!? GEEZ, HE'S SO VAIN!
It'd also give me hell lots of pleasure seeing Atobe's precious hair being cut! Maybe it'll lessen his goddamn VANITY!
…EVEN GIRLS ARE NOT AS VAIN AS THIS PRAT HERE!
"Ne, Yanagi, why didn't Mi-chan hit Atobe yet?" Bunta asks Renji and my eye twitch more furiously…
Be grateful you aren't in my team, Marui! OR ELSE QUADRUPLE TRAINING MENU!
"Love, mind letting go of your spoon?" Masaharu raises his eyebrow at me.
I glower at him, but being Masaharu, he doesn't get scared by my scary look!
ARGH! Why did Kami send Yukimura Seiichi and Niou Masaharu to the world with Kisaki Kasumi!? They are immune to all my threats! NOOOO!!!!!
Kami must hate me so much… WAHHH!!!!
I sulk. "I can't eat without a spoon, Niou."
He throws back his head and laughs. "It doesn't make much different, love. I don't think you can use that spoon any more, not when it's a clump of metal." He winks at me.
I look at the spoon in my hand and blush. Whoops…
I bend the spoon in my hand, um, accidentally when I'm starting to get pissed by Atobe's arrogance. But I can't help it though! He really is arrogant! I bet his ego is the size of the Milky Way!
I grin sheepishly at every body's horrified expressions. "Uh, what can I say? The breakfast is good!" I fake a most disgusting sugary laugh in attempt to lighten up the mood of other schools' Regulars.
…I swear I'll never laugh like that again! I sound like a mad Yukimura Seiichi's club fan girl!
I'm cut out of my musing when a hand with a spoon is thrusts in front of my face. I blink and glare at the person.
Who the hell dare cut me out of my musing!? They will be running 50 laps!
Oops, it's Gen-chan…
My expression changes faster than any body can say 'Rikkai!'. I give Genichirou a sweet smile that rivals Seiichi's one. I smile wider when I see the ever-stoic fukubuchou shudders. "For me, Gen-chan? Thank you! You're so cute!" I chirp happily.
Fwahaha! Sorry Gen, today Kami is not with you!
Masaharu and I snicker at Genichirou's embarrassment. Ooh, blackmail!
It's true that Gen-chan is very famous in Rikkai for his looks and his stoic expressions. But girls think he's cool and he even has his own set of fan club like other Regulars…
…I'm not going to let him live this down! Cha! Devil Kasumi's power!
"Kasumi-hime…" Seiichi's using his 'I'm-talking-to-a-child' voice on me again! "Please refrain yourself from trying to scare my fukubuchou off, ne?" He gives me a smile.
ARGH! That smile! Nooooo! I cannot win against that smile!
I give him a dejected puppy pout and stab the pancake in my plate. I increase the pace I'm stabbing as I see blue eyes of Atobe looking my way…
Take THAT, you arrogant prick! Mwahaha! Die, die and die!
Too bad that Atobe's face can't replace the pancake! I'd love to stab him instead! HMPH!
"Oi, Kisaki," Kami! Can't he leave me in peace!? "Ore-sama needs to change his eye patch. You will be doing it for ore-sama." Atobe smirks at me.
Oh… Like HELL I'd do that for him! Well… not nicely anyway…
Kuso, I forgot I don't have a choice as it is Tarou-ji-sama's will!
I give him my sweetest smile which sends all Rikkai Dai members but Seiichi shivering. "Sure, Atobe-san." I croon.
…Atobe won't know what hit him, cha!
"So, shall we?" I continue to smile sweetly and send a warning glance towards Masaharu; who suddenly disguises his snicker as a cough instead.
…FEAR ME, BOY! OR ELSE THE SPICE-UP TREAT WILL APPEAR! MWAHAHA!
Hospital bay…
Yup, you got that right, my dear friends. Atobe has his own hospital bay in a goddamn sports villa! He's filthy rich, mind you!
…Him and his over-exaggerated richness!
"So…" I begin slowly, looking at the Hyoutei diva captain in front of me. "Am I supposed to change your eye patch?" I ask sweetly.
He smirks at me, and I'd give anything to wipe that off his face. Preferably with a nice, solid punch so I won't have to see his eyes! "Yes, you may proceed to assist ore-sama in changing his eye patch. Be honor that ore-sama lets you do this."
Honored indeed… Wait and see!
I rub my hand together and smirk evilly as the mini-Kasumi in my head starts doing her war-dance. Ooh… Payback is a bitch, Atobe!
…Now it's time for me to pay you back for what you've done yesterday! Taking me to see Tarou-ji-sama!
You shall have the most painful death, mwahahahaha!
"You're not tying your hair back." I blink at Atobe's random comment. "Ore-sama likes it better this way."
…Talk about randomness… "Well, I'll tie it back later, since you like my hair down but Seiichi likes braiding it for me." I grin as my comment hits home… SCORE!
… Kami, I need a good, long break away from Tennis and anything to do with inter-school tennis competitions… The tennis Regulars' from each school are giving me too much migraine to handle!
"Ore-sama can tie it for you…" He puts in a way that implies the sentence to be over. However, being the one and only unfortunate girl who have been around the chimpanzee-related Rikkai Regulars for 3 years in a row, I have the gist that there's definitely more to that sentence…
And my intuition is right as always when Atobe adds. "If you ask Ore-sama nicely, that is."
I roll my eyes at him and busy myself with the bandages in the drawer. "I'll pass."
"Your pride would kill you someday, Kisaki."
Like Hell he has the right to say that to us! Look who's talking, you egotistical, self-centered, spoilt prat! Not to add the fact that the only creature on earth that can have black eyes and look cute is panda, not you!
I slam the drawer shut and roll out the bandage in a VERY sweet manner like professional nurse, good thing that Renji is not around or else he would give Atobe all his percentage stuff and my one and only chance will be out the window…
…Still, I can't possibly bring myself to think what those pea brain fan girls of Atobe see in him. I mean, gorgeous? Yeah, I'll have to agree he has some looks, but other than that even Strike has more positive personal qualities than Atobe Keigo!
And thank Kami to the fact that Atobe is totally oblivious to what I'm about to do because he is still smirking…
See if he can still smirk after I'm through with him!
"Kisaki, ore-sama doesn't like being ignored." He demands.
Ooh… He's SO done for today! "I don't like you but I'm still being subjected to your company, no thanks to you in that, Atobe." I huff and reach out to take his old eye patch off.
"Hn, I bet your thoughts are different, arn? Ore-sama knows a lot of girls who play hard to get but deep inside they're very happy to have ore-sama around." He smirks.
I twitch…He DIDN'T just compare me to his idiotic fan girls, right?
Damn right he did! And there's a hell to pay, peacock prat!
I grin and yank his eye patch off quickly. He swears. "What the!?" He snarls at me. "What was that for, onna!?"
I give him a smile that can rival Seiichi's turtle-turns-runner one. "Time for your new bandage, your grace." I kick the door shut and smile wider as I hear the lock clicks into its place.
Let's make a remake of 'Mummy'! Starring Atobe Keigo as 'Mummy'! Mwahahaha!
15 minutes later…Outdoor tennis court…
"Hey!" I bounce into the court. "Great to see you guys start warm-up even without me. Now, we'll do some accuracy practice today! Go stretch first, then we'll start in 5 minutes!" I give them all a sweet smile.
…Why are they shuddering!? They're supposed to be smiling back!
Oh yeah! I better ask him something…
"Wait, Yuushi!" I call the sexy Kansai genius as he starts to walk off to do some stretching.
He turns around and rewards me with a sexy smirk. "Yes, Kasumi-hime?"
Gah! His smirk is not good for the heart! Thank Kami I don't have any cardiac problem!
Still… He IS dreamily sexy… Squeal!
Ignoring the war raging in my head and the increase in temperature in my face I ask him sweetly. "Do they have security cameras in the Hospital Bay and where can I access it?" I smile.
He smirks wider. "You've to give me something in exchange for that piece of information." He leans forward and whispers into my ear.
Ooh… THANK KAMI FOR LETTING ME BORN INTO THIS WORLD! I'M THE HAPPIEST PERSON EVER! Mwahaha, sexy, flirty Yuushi-sama!
I smirk back at him. "A perfect blackmail material on your captain?"
"Deal, there are three cameras installed in that room. One at the door, one towards the beds and another one at the windows, you can access all the security cameras tape in this little room at the end of third floor's left corridor." Yuushi smirks. "Now, your part of the deal?"
I fish out my phone and ask him for his phone number. After pressing few buttons here and there, I look up at him with an innocent smile. "Your captain is currently away shooting a movie; a horror movie to be exact. I believe he is the most important character of the movie. Now, back to practice!" I push the slightly amused Kansai genius lightly.
A deep chuckle comes from behind me. "Care to fill me in on that, babe?" Masaharu asks light-heartedly and put his arm on my shoulders.
Cha! Like I said, payback's a bitch, Atobe!
And it won't help him much now that Masaharu is about to have a juicy piece of blackmail information about him… Hehehe…
Did I mention that Masaharu can think up of a prank faster than anybody can say 'Rikkai!'? Well, if I didn't, now I did! And this piece of information will be extremely useful to me in the future if I tell Masaharu what happened now!
I give him a sweet smile. "Well, I just fulfill Atobe's ambition for him."
The trickster of Rikkai smirks. "What ambition, love? You've got to be more specific, you know? We're talking about Atobe the ambitious one here." We snicker.
"Let's just say his ambition to become VERY famous. Now he's just become a new rising movie star." I grin a Seiichi's innocent grin.
Damn right he is!
Somewhere nearby Hospital Bay…
Katsuo looks around nervously. "Horio-kun, do you hear that?" He asks nervously.
Horio looks around but shrugs carelessly. "What, Katsuo, are you scared? There can't possibly be a ghost during this time!" He laughs.
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP!
The ichinen trio freeze right on their spot as the weird thumping noise erupts from behind the Hospital Bay's door…
THUMP! CRASH!
"MMFPH!!!" A ghostly white figure stumbles out through what was once a door to the Hospital Bay.
"ARGH!!!!!!! MUMMY!!!" They scream and run for their lives.
(A/N: Care to guess who the white figure is? XD)
Back at the court…
"Kasumi-chan, do you know where Atobe is?" Ryuuzaki-sensei approaches me during the practice break.
I give her my most innocent smile that can make Seiichi proud. "Nope, not a clue, sensei." I shoot Masaharu and Yuushi both a sinister look as they start chuckling to themselves.
Che! I'll forgive you both because Masaharu is my partner in crime and Yuushi's sexiness can always get him out of trouble with me! CHA!
"Hm, never mind then… I guess he's just off doing some errands for Sakaki-sensei." I twitch slightly as she mentions Tarou-ji-sama…
…Well, you can just say Atobe's got what he deserves!
"Back to practice, guys! Whoever missed the shot will try my new Super-Shot invention!" I chirp happily as the guys pale.
Mwahaha… More fun for me indeed!
Night 3…
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
Urgh… who the hell decide to visit me at this hour!? It's almost 10pm!
I plaster a frown onto my face and walk towards the door. "Who's it?" I ask grumpily and open the door a bit to peak through.
…I have every right to! They could be disturbing my beauty sleep!
"Nee-san! Niou-senpai stole my blanket!" Akaya's messy head pokes through the door with Masaharu saunters in after my baby brother dashes into my room.
ARGH! I should've known it's them!
"What are you guys doing up at this ungodly hour?" I demand with a hand on my hip.
Masaharu bounces on my bed. "Wow… Your room is even bigger than ours! No wonder Atobe gives it to you, honey!" He turns his mischievous eyes at me.
…Shite, I feel troubles coming.
Masaharu is as bad as Seiichi, I'll tell you! It's just that Seiichi's idea of prank is more subtle but more harmful to your heart than Masaharu!
…But I don't like both of them when it comes to prank…
"Nee-san, what does Hyoutei monkey king have to do in this?" Akaya looks at me with his puppy-dog green eyes.
I feel my willpower melt in a fast pace at the cute eyes before me. Damn! This must be why Masaharu purposefully stole Akaya's blanket!
I'll give him my newest invention tomorrow! Kasumi's Super Spice-Up remixed!
"Well, you see, Akaya… He gave this luxurious room for your precious nee-san because he wants to impress her, and I'd sadly say that it didn't work." Masaharu drawls out.
I growl at him and chuck a pillow at Akaya as my baby brother's eyes start to bleed red. "Don't you dare rush out and hit him right now, Akaya." I warn him, Akaya goes to the corner of the room to sulk. "As for you, Masaharu, please tell me what you want to tell me now before I accidentally let it slip to Seiichi about you spreading rumors of 'a thing' going on between the three demons in our first year." I give him a sweet smile.
Cha! Kisaki Kasumi strikes again!
Masaharu shudders slightly. "Fine, I'll tell you about something you should know… Seeing that both Tezuka and Atobe are both interested in you, I think you need to know this so you'll know what to do next, hm?" He says seriously
I raise my eyebrow in confusion. It's not often that he'll get serious like this… Must be important… "Tell me, then." I sit down beside him.
"Now… Where to begin? Ah yes, you weren't exactly told the details of the Nationals tournament back in our Junior High, no?" I shake my head as confirmation. "Well then, you knew that we get into the Nationals, but you didn't know the nitty-gritty details as Atobe busted Tezuka's shoulder, and then Yukimura told Sanada to do any chance to emerge victory when Sanada faced off with Tezuka in the Grand Finale of the Nationals, and that being Tezuka's shoulder is injured again by our fukubuchou."
"WHAT!?" No way! Tezuka's arm has been injured twice
"Yes, Tezuka sacrificed his arm so that he will be able to buy some times off for Echizen to arrive at the Nationals; however Sanada was quite ruthless on him." He shrugs. "He went back to Germany over the holidays and it's quite surprising to see him in High School Tennis club again. That guy live and breathe tennis, you know?" He pats my head. "But I'm sure you and your quirkiness will do him some good, love." He smirks as I swat his hand off.
I'll kill him! He called my personality quirky!? I'll show him quirky!
"Akaya! Your sis is about to kill me!" He teases and moves to avoid my fists. "Calm down, babe! I'm kidding! Let me finish my story first then I'll let you do whatever you want with me, no?"
…How about I ship you off to Alaska for the rest of your life, Niou!? RAWR!
"Wow! Okay, anyway, Atobe kinda takes interest in you too, so yeah, why not go for him too, hm? I mean, he's the one who brought Echizen back for his finals during the National anyway." Haru continues to say casually as he ducks to avoid my kicks.
Say what? Atobe helped that brat? It's unheard of!
"So what are you trying to tell me?" I pick up my pillow and start swinging it at him. Die, die, and die! I'll kill you!
"You know you'll have to choose soon, Kasumi." Silver-blue eyes lock onto my own dark ones solemnly. "I'm concerned about you, which is why I'm saying this. I've grown to care about you as a friend, and I'm grateful that you're always there to help me. Hell, you tried to help me anyway you can, and I'm indebt to you. Now I just want you to be happy with some worthy guy seeing as you have more than enough migraines that could last every single person in Rikkai hanging around with us."
…WAHH!!! I'm touched! I care about you too, Haru!
I sniff. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see… It's too early to decide."
He pulls me into a hug. Apparently he just takes a shower again and his trademark minty scent doubles. "I'm always here to help you. I'll help you to realize who you really like between Atobe and Tezuka, and I'll be really happy when that day comes, babe." He chuckles slightly. "Now I better go off to bed before Akaya tears a hole in your floor. G'night." He kisses my forehead, let go and drags Akaya off; closing the door shut with a click as he exits.
Niou Masaharu, I'm one of the few luckiest people that get to know the real you… And I wouldn't want it any other way than this.
Day 4…
"So it's like this…" I mumble to myself as I flip through Renji's data book after the day's practice.
Oh, why do I have Renji's record, you ask? Easy, because what Masaharu said last night has triggered some curiosity so I went to Renji straight after the trickster left and asked him for the record from Nationals three years ago.
How did I manage to get him to give me his precious data book? Hehehe… Well…
I solemnly swear I've been up to no good, Kami-sama! I've been blackmailing Renji into giving his data book to me in exchange of 'a few' of his childhood pictures that has been nothing but good blackmailing materials!
…And it works even better when I said to him innocently that I may accidentally leave it lying around Rikkai Dai's Tennis Club's room. I swear I've never seen Renji moved that fast before!
Right, back to quench my own curiosity, then!
Now that I know what they all did during Nationals at Junior High… They'll all be subject to Kisaki Kasumi Super Quadruple special tennis training! Mwahaha! It's just a PERFECT reason for what I've been trying to make them do for a LONGGGG time!
Cha! Go Kasumi! A nice get back at Seiichi for giving me creeps and the other Regulars for the migraines!
"Oi, Kasumi-hime!" Only person that called me that with a purr-like sexy voice…
Oh my Kami! It must be my lucky day! It's Yuushi!
I turn around and give him a sweet smile. "Yuushi! To what business do I owe this pleasure?" I tease him.
He smirks. "Any business regarding to do with you is my pleasure, princess." He winks.
ARGH!!! Not good for my heart! Stop bullying my heart!
I grin. "Yuushi, don't tell me you're about to challenge Atobe head-on?"
He shrugs. "I don't think of you more than a good friend, hime-chan." He pats my head kindly, and I grin. "And besides, it would be fun to rile Atobe up, no?"
Thank Kami for the fact that he only thinks of me as a friend! I'd feel like crap if I have a boyfriend that stares after every single female with nice legs!
And he just agreed with me to help me get on Atobe's nerves, right? Hell yeah! You rock, Yuushi!
"So, what do you need to speak to me about?" I ask him curiously.
He smirks again. "Ah, yes, about the karaoke thing…" He leans forward and whispers into my ears as Atobe and Tezuka comes into our sight. "Pretend to be having a good time." He says with a chuckle as cold eyes looks our way.
You bet! I LOVE DOING THIS KIND OF THING!
I giggle. "What about it?" I ask softly.
"I was thinking maybe we could do some extra things that can make us winners."
I perk up at this comment. They weren't joking when they called him tensai! "Such as what? Get Atobe pissed off so he'll cancel everything?"
"Tempting, but no, we can be subjected to some weird juices like that." He purrs. "How about put on a great performance for them and rile up Atobe as well as stir some feelings from Tezuka? I heard from Kenya you took dances and singing classes back in Osaka. How about we put them to good use?" He smirks.
Ooh… Consider you get yourself a deal, dear Yuushi!
I give the Kansai genius a grin. "Consider it done, Yuushi." We shake each other's hand, ignoring Atobe's cold stare, Tezuka's emotionless glance and Masaharu and Seiichi's amused looks.
New partner in crime discovered! Kisaki Kasumi-sama will show you what she's made of, cha!
This one is a bit longer because I combined two days together… This way we'll reach day 6 faster and it's going to be the last day of the camp soon!
What havoc does Kasumi and Yuushi has in their mind? Well, read on and find out!
I think Kasumi is quite EBIL with Atobe in this chapter… I was watching 'Mummy return' and got this idea of her turning Atobe into a 'Mummy'!
Phew… I'm so jealous of Kasumi in this chapter… WAHHH!!! Masaharu kissed her forehead!!!! She's so lucky! WAAHHH!!!
Also, I've been getting some feedbacks as to Kasumi and Masaharu short fluff. I may do a one-shot in between the story for those of you who'd like to read it!
Please tell me what you think about this one-shot idea, ne? XD
Chocolate chips cookies to reviewers! I'll try to update as soon as possible! Now I must go and regain the last bit of my sanity first! Mwahaha!
