Anime: Prince of Tennis
Summary: In my three years in Middle School, never have i hated him for being so Perfect. I respected him, admired him and aspired to be him. But was that all i felt for that stoic man?
Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis and any of it characters.
Thanks for all the reviews!! I feel like making more and more chapters!!
ERROR NUMBER ONE
So here I am.. I mean..We are in Enoshima. Beautiful Island, beautiful beach, beautiful people. Well, now my sight of people are a pack of tennis regulars from our school, and that's not such a beautiful sight. You may think, yeah, they're hot but they're as noisy as a pack of two hundred male dogs fighting. I'm telling, I only see nine regulars and I feel like I'm hearing 200 hundred dogs. It's a pain in the neck and my ears are bleeding.
The ride going here, I thought was going to be peaceful. But why should I think of peace when I must remember that I am on a ride with a group of regulars!
I hope they don't destroy this rest house. It's the most precious thing that I'm going to inherit! Sigh, if they slightly cause a tiny little scratch to any of the furniture here, they know who's sending them to hell. OK OK! Fine fine. I'm not that mean, it's just, I love this rest house and I want to leave it untouched!
It's such a beauty to begin with. It's beautiful.
And here I am, staring at them bickering and fighting nonstop on my couch. Oishi is screaming as loud as he can to stop them and Tezuka can't even do anything or maybe he's not even trying.
I stood up to go to the kitchen. Fuji stood up, too. "Mind if I join you?" he asked politely, but still with that grin of his.
I shook my head and he followed me to the really silent kitchen. I haven't given the guys a tour yet because the moment the came in the rest house, all they did was stare at the interior. It's practically only colored white. There's a really high ceiling, and a huge window which shows the beach. The living room is thrice as big as the one I have at home. The stairs are quite big and were built at the side of that room. When you reach the second floor, you are met by another living room which has a huge plasma TV. There are two doors in each side of the TV and that leads to other rooms of the house.
The kitchen is my favorite part of this house, second to the attic. It's really big and silent. My mom and I usually bake goodies in here and it's amusingly fun. There are two tables which are both used for slicing, preparing, mixing, chopping... the ingredients. And that's where I usually sit to chat with my mom. I'm a cook!
I love cooking and baking! It's my hobby! I thought about taking up a culinary related course but taking up medicine has always been my dream.
As I gave Fuji a tour around the kitchen, I also gave him insights of the things I baked and cooked with my mom. He gave questions about the taste, its presentation or even sometimes the ingredients. I wonder if he, himself, will cook it for his family or whoever.
I opened a small cabinet and brought out a clear book filled with recipes. There were five other clear books in there but the blue one, which I showed to Fuji, had the easiest recipes to cook. He took them and gave it a look.
Together with the recipe was the picture of the food. He based his choosing from that. When he had found one, he asked if he could keep it. I told him that I would have to photocopy it or he could copy it to a notebook. He said that the latter would be fine.
I gave him a small unused notebook where he silently copied the recipe.
While he did that, I asked him a few questions on the team.
"So, how's the team?" I started while getting eggs from the refrigerator
"Fine as always, The bickering is normal and all the days are missing without it." He replied, still copying the recipe.
"That sounds like fun." I said as I cracked the eggs open and started beating it.
"What are you making?" he asked with his soft voice.
"Oh, cookies. Just don't tell the guys. Maybe this could shut them up for a moment." I said with a smile on my face.
The cookies would do them some good.
Didn't I tell you guys that I would be asking him a few questions on the team? Well, it seemed to go the other way around.
"So, how's your life right now?"
"Good, I believe. My relationship with Sadaharu is actually getting its own gaps but Renji, Sadaharu and I are handling it. School is the same as always but I still can't seem to get over the anxiety. I must be pressuring myself too much. Don't you think so?"
"I never actually thought you would be the type to pressure yourself.. I hear you still have a lot of things to do about the school sport's festival?"
"Yeah, I wonder why they chose me when I completely have no idea about sports. I still remember the time we had volleyball in PE and I couldn't even serve an underhand serve. I wouldn't run towards the ball because I was always daydreaming and worrying about the next class. My teammates actually scolded me but some are still supporting me telling me that I could do it. I love those girls but I wonder if they're ever tired of saying that."
"There are some people like that. They just always seem to trust you."
"I'm glad there are people like that."
"What are you supposed to do about the sport's festival?"
"We, the sport's festival team, have already made some plans about the design of the school. We've already planned to make up some sports and group the school into three groups and well... other plans which you will soon find out."
"Hm, I hope they're good." He said with a smile marked on his face.
I still wonder how someone like him, who looks so weak still has the stamina to play tennis. I mean, tennis is played under the heat of the sun. The player must run around a huge tennis court to and there's loads of stamina needed.
I don't get this guy.
Oh well, never mind that.
When he finished copying the recipe, I was almost done with my cookies. Around twenty minutes of baking. Then it's over!
I told Fuji to see if the guys were still in the couch or if they were touring themselves around the house.
He came back telling me that they were staring at the photo album that was placed below the table and that Tezuka was missing.
So, Tezuka is missing and the other guys are already messing with my private life. Oh well, it's not like anything embarrassing was in there. Yeah maybe me butt naked in bathtub but that was when I was five years old!
The latest picture I have there was with my classmates shopping in Shibuya. I think we were all making funny faces... not something to be embarrassed about.
The cookies are done!
I placed the cookies on the table and there they were... finishing it all up. I don't think there would be any for Tezuka. Sad for you!
Ok, well there were three left. Oishi had saved them for Tezuka.
Sigh, they love each other so much that they would leave some for the captain. I told them to give themselves a tour around the huge rest house and leave their bags on the living room upstairs. There were around 5 bedrooms. I told them that they could choose any.
Since there are two doors leading to different hallways, I told them to go to the left door beside the TV to get to their rooms.
As soon as they ran to the second floor, I started my small search for Tezuka. They had told me that they were sure he didn't go to the second floor. I placed the cookies in a Tupperware and went out.
There was only one place I knew that someone like Tezuka Kunimitsu would go to.
The beach.
And I was right... there he was sitting on the warm sand admiring the view of the sea. It was still a bright day and the sun was high up on the clouds. It wasn't as hot as usual. The wind blowing was cold and I didn't like that.
I went up to him and placed the Tupperware in front of his eyes. He stared at it and I said "It's for you; the regulars left 3 cookies for you."
I baked three cookies per person.
"Thanks" he replied.
"Mind if I sit here?" I asked pointing to the spot beside him.
"No"
So, I sat down on the warm sand. Ok, I sat... but in the end just lied down on it. The beach was silent... very silent.
"Can I ask you something, Tezuka?" I asked
"Hm?"
"It's quite random, sure you don't mind?"
"No"
I started off with the types of shows he watched. I didn't trust the fact that he watches Anime. It's not like Tezuka. I mean... I can't imagine him watching TV at all.
"What types of TV shows do you watch?"
He stayed silent.
"Why do you need to know?"
"Just a little curious. I was just wondering..." I said while I sat up, "what type of shows does A Tezuka Kunimitsu watch"
"Hm"
Silence...
"I don't really watch much TV. My time is usually for tennis practices or sometimes small talks with my parents." He replied.
"So when you watch something, you don't really concentrate much?"
"Yes"
That was some straightforward answering.
"So was there ever a time, you watched anime?"
"Thrice" he answered immediately.
Hm... now... I'm finding out some data.
"What were they?"
"I couldn't remember."
Oh... and here I thought he had a good memory.
"I only watched them when a cousin of mine came by in summer. He was the one who watched Anime, I just joined him to make him feel at home."
Oh... so you're still a gentleman even to your male cousins. That is just weird.
"Was there a single one that you actually concentrated on?"
"All of them. I had to show some respect to him. He was the type who liked to talk about the anime a lot. So if he needed anyone to talk to about it, I was the only one at that time."
Oh... so even if he didn't like it... he'd still watch it.
"Wasn't there a single anime that you remembered?"
"One. Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto"
"Did you ever talk about this anime with any of teammates?"
"By coincidence, the moment we went to school, Kikumaru was talking about the same animes that I watched. I told him my thoughts on the show and that's where it ended. That was the last that I talked about it."
"So, all your teammates heard this?"
"Yes"
"Oh... that's cool"
I said with a smile on my face.
Number one error: Tezuka Kunimitsu doesn't like watching Anime. He only watched it because of his cousin.
"My mom told me to heat up something for lunch. It's already ready. I think we should go, you should also put your luggage in your room. C'mon." I said while I stood up.
He stood up and walked behind me back to the rest house.
The regulars and I ate lunch... silently.
That was amazing. The lunch actually shut them up.
Now that she has found out that one of Inui's data is actually half-wrong, what else will she find out?
chapter eight: Maybe this time she'll find out a little more about the person she respected. And what's this about Tezuka ignoring her! what's going on? Chapter eight: IT'S NINE IN THE AFTERNOON!
coming soon...
A/N: in the last chapter, i wrote that in the preview... "everything will be revealed." I didn't literally mean it. Hehe, sorry. Only one info has been found!
