Photo 9: Hyotei will be the winner! . . .Or not.
"Hyotei will be the winner! Hyotei will be the winner!" is pretty much all you here from the Hyotei tennis courts. Makes them seem quite confident doesn't it? Don't get me wrong they can usually back it up. Key word in there usually, because well, they did kind of lose to Seigaku. Twice. Back on track however, the regulars make themselves out to be great and collected. For good reason too, they do have a reputation to uphold. But as is with the rest of the teams, they are hiding some insane events. Take this case back a year ago for example.
"Ahhhh! Yuushi! Help!" Gakuto cried to his blue-haired teammate who was looking at him quizzically.
"Gakuto? What is going on?" Oshitari questioned.
Gakuto just about had a panic attack "I broke Atobe's favorite vase!" he confessed.
"Atobe has a favorite vase?" Shishido asked popping out of nowhere.
"And I broke it!" Gakuto fell to the ground "If he finds out I'm off the team!"
"Gakuto," Oshitari tried "Calm down and tell us the whole story."
Taking a deep breath Gakuto started his story.
"Okay, so I was trying out a couple of new jumps on the way here, and I accidentally screwed on one up. Then when I landed I sort of knocked against the stand where the vase was and knocked it off. And then the vase shattered," he finished.
Oshitari and Shishido shared a glance before turning back toward the hyperventilating acrobat.
"Gakuto," Oshitari began "That vase didn't happen to be the shiny but old looking one in the hall going from the east to south hallways, the one that always had lilies in it, did it?"
"Uhhhhh, I think so," Gakuto answered.
Shishido snorted "Lame, that vase was one of Atobe's most hated vases. Didn't you ever notice him glaring at it a lot?"
Gakuto blinked in confusion and then gawked "So you're telling me he was glaring at the vase and not admiring it?"
Shishido barely stifled a laugh and Oshitari sighed at his teammate's slowness. "Yes, Gakuto that is what we're telling you. Now calm down so you don't cause a scene."
And thus is Gakuto's slowness.
Another incident of note was after the Marui-Jirou match. After dragging Jirou up to the stands Atobe and Sanada engaged in a decisive game of, rock, paper, scissors. Just to decide who actually won since Jirou fell asleep. Needless to say, it didn't work out to well.
"Ore-sama demands a rematch!" Atobe declared getting close to his breaking point. He and Sanada already played five rounds of rock, paper, scissors. And he had lost. Every single one.
Sanada was just about ready to slap Atobe, who clearly could not take any kind of loss. "Atobe, you lost, deal with it," he said and walked off, leaving Atobe to fume.
Right after Rikkai left Atobe shouted "Back to practice! We will beat Rikkai Dai!"
At this the other regulars gave various forms of exasperation, with the exception of Kabaji of course.
These are just some of the secret embarrassing moments Hyotei has had. There are much more, don't even get me started on the Yakiniku incident, that one was really bad. Or the time Choutarou somehow actually managed to get a detention (that still remains a mystery), and that epic failure of a snowball fight. . . All in all Hyotei is not always the winner.
A/N: I am back! Well from my short span of writer's block. Deleting most of my stories helped, Cut! Could have been continued but I didn't feel it. Besides this story is way more fun. Though I am debating on whether or not to make a separate story for the next chapter, divide it into parts, or just make it a really long one-shot. Any suggestions? As always feedback is appreciated! And if anyone just wants to chat send me a PM! Hopefully next chapter's should be length makes up for these really short ones.
