No recap today folks


'Ah, Akada-san can I talk to you for a moment?'

'Of course sensei!'

'Well I heard from a few sources(Yukimura cough cough) that you're the new manager of the tennis team.'

'Oh, you've heard about that.'

'Yes well the school wants to start a club festival this year, you know to get first years interested in joining and to show parents what's going on.'

Jiki had a very bad feeling about this and the fact that the teacher had a very cheerfully desperate smile on his face didn't help.

'Really? That's uh interesting.'

'Yes, well here's the information packet. Could you figure out something for the tennis team booth? Thanks.'

And Jiki's teacher hurried out of the room before she could protest. Oh yes, there were many things Jiki wanted to protest. Besides a public 'club' festival meant she would be in a maid's uniform and that any one could see.

She could see it now, the fantastic tennis manager! A specially made(pun) uniform to keep her from ripping out your soul and eating it. Be careful! She could bite!

Niou of course would be dressed up in a carnie outfit displaying her in a glass tank.

Bastard.


'Umm, Sanada-san-fukubuchou, what do you want to do for the festival?'

Long hard stare.

'Festivals will disrupt practice-'

'Oh come on Sanada-fukubuchou. It'll be fun.'

Niou was verbally poking Sanada but the fact that he actually stood up for Jiki meant he was planning something.

Oh my god he's a mind reader! He knows about the glass tank!

'Uh, Jiki-chan why are you making a tinfoil hat?'

'A heh heh heh, no reason.'


By the mid practice break Jiki still didn't have any ideas for their booth/club room. Of course her sensei had forgetten to mention that the student council needed their plans by tomorrow.

Stupid sensei.

She had asked others but to no avail. They had already pledged their help to other clubs and associations.

Yagyuu was helping the Public Morals Committee.

Marui had been promised food if he helped with the Bakery Club.

Jackal was giving insight to the International Culture Group.

Yanagi was overseeing the festival with the Student Council.

Kirihara was in the Manga Appreciation Club and couldn't be parted with his books.

And Yukimura was still at the doctor's.

This left Sanada( who didn't want anything to do with it), Niou(oh god) and Jiki as the only high priority members of the tennis team.

A rock, a trickster and a maid. This is a bad combination.


'So what do we want to do for our booth?'

'Cosplay cafe.'

'For the last time, I would be the only in cosplay! So NO!'

'You're no fun.'

Sanada pinched the bridge of his nose. After practice the others had gone they're separate ways except for Jiki who had dragged him and Niou to the library to figure out something for the festival. So far Niou was only suggesting a one man(err, girl) cosplay cafe. Jiki had argued they couldn't pull that off and had suggested something that actually had to do with tennis. Niou, however, just kept coming back to cosplay.

'Niou-san, sut up!'

'Ah Jiki-chan you're so cute when you're angry. So polite.'

'Niou-san, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you!'

'Tarundorou!'

Silence.

'Umm, Sanada-san do you have something to uh suggest?'

'We'll do a traditional tea house. We'll serve traditional food. We'll do traditional tea ceremonies.'

Pause. Wow this guy sure liked traditional stuff.

'Don't they have a club that does?'

'They're doing a play for the festival,' Niou cheerfully replied then his face fell. This meant they had no excuse. But then again, Jiki would definitely be in a cute outfit puri~.

'Then its settled.'

'Ah, but wait Sanada-san! I don't know how to do tea ceremonies!'

Jiki was flustered by all this. She didn't want to do a ceremony, she'd mess up and get yelled at by Great Emporer Rock-sama(my nickname for him). Besides, this meant she'd have to wear traditional clothing like a yukata or kimono. It would, essentially be a cosplay tea house(traditional style mua ha ha). Niou would be getting his way!

Sanada just stared and started to leave.

'No ceremonies then. But you'll have to provide the food.'

Niou snickered at Jiki's god rest my soul expression as she watched Sanada's retreating firgure.


Chatter chatter chatter.

'Did you here? The tennis team is doing a teahouse!'

'Yeah, but it'll only be a few regulars.'

'Actually I heard it was only going to be Sanada and Niou. Can't wait to see their outfits.'

'Yeah but that manager is also going to be a part of it.'

'Seriously? Why her?'

'Emiko! She's right over...there...'

Jiki sighed as she tried to finish lunch in peace. She had been hearing comments like that ever since they had submitted their application to the Student Council. Even with Yanagi overseeing them, details had gotten leaked. Usually Yukimura dealt with such comments but he was in limbo at the moment.

Sigh. It's not like I want to do the teahouse with them, I'll gladly change places with you, if only to feel the satisfaction of Niou getting fangirl raped. But he would probably be able to twist it and goddammit. He's still a trickster even in my thoughts.

What happened to my hat?


New arc! The club festival! This will probably be several chapters long.

I wanted to do this later but couldn't think of a good idea at the moment so here ya go.

I swear I've read somewhere that Yagyuu was part of the public morals commitee and that Yanagi helps ith the student council but I couldn't find it anywhere...

Niou's a fun character to write, he sorta makes up for my Yukimura love....Fuji would be fun to write for...hmmm...

Random comment, it is not turning into a NiouxOC story. He's just a perv...
