Title: Eiji's Part Time Job
Day 6
"Ne handsome, how old are you?" A lady asked.
"Why don't you just quit this job and come with mama." Another said.
"Order please." Tezuka took in a deep breath to suppress the swelling anger and replied.
"Mou…he's so cool!" The bunch of women squealed in delight.
Tezuka's eye brow twitched, silently cursing, he repeated, "Order please."

"Gather at 7am next week. Any questions?" Tezuka's voice boomed in Seigaku tennis courts.
"NO CAPTAIN!"
"Dismissed!" Tezuka walked off towards the clubhouse with Eiji following behind. Eiji wanted to ask Tezuka for help but he did not know how to start. He had been following Tezuka around and not really practising much.
"What is it." Tezuka knew Eiji was stalking him. He turned around and glared at Eiji.
"Tezuka, I need your help nya." Eiji said.
"Hn." Tezuka waited for details.
"Yuuta's coming home today so Fujiko won't be able to come help me nya. Oishi's relative's staying with him nya so he can't come too, Taka-san has to help his dad, Ochibi refused to come and I don't want Inui to help. Can you help me?" Eiji pleaded.
Tezuka pondered over the idea of helping out. It was a Saturday and he had nothing to do for the rest of the day. Selling cakes won't hurt so he guessed it was alright to go help out. Eiji was prepared to give up but to his surprise, Tezuka agreed to it. Tezuka went to the clubhouse to get his bag before following Eiji to Kuchiki, with Momoshiro tagging along behind like a dog again.

So Tezuka's here, taking orders from ladies whose ages ranged from twenties to fifties. Ladies with lavish outfits and heavy perfume, crowded around the glass panel, trying to touch the ultra handsome 'man' at the other side.
Tezuka sighed for the umpteenth time. He repeated himself for the ten billionth time of the day, "Order please." His patience was wearing thin and his muscles were beyond control soon. His eyebrow was on the verge of twitching uncontrollably and his hands were clenching up uncontrollably. Now he understood why Echizen had refused to come along.
Just then, the ladies near the glass panels let out screams of fright. Kaido bowed to Tezuka as he picked up the apron and glared at the ladies. Tezuka acknowledged with a "Hn". The crowd murmured amongst themselves again.
"Fushu…Baa-san, order please." The ladies thought that Kaido had snared at them when Kaido was merely asking for their orders. They stopped murmuring.
"What a scary boy! 5 dozens raspberry and 7 dozens cheese cakes with ice toppings." The women ordered.
"Right away." Kaido bowed to Tezuka again and went off to pass the order to Eiji and to bake. The crowd went crazy as soon as Kaido walked away.
The rest of the day went on quite smoothly. Kaido showed up at the glass panel now and then when the situation went out of hand (the women pushed and fought to get to the front for a clearer view of Prince Tezuka, there was fear that the glass panel might crack). Momoshiro knew that Eiji would save something for him to eat at the end of the day, he 'tested' the cakes no more. To his pleasant surprise, Eiji whipped up something for him at the end of the day. As Eiji, Tezuka and Momoshiro off the lights and locked the doors, Eiji and Momoshiro were happy but Tezuka was absolutely tired.
