Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis, If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics about it, or wishing that Rikkai won the Nationals either.

8. Yukimura

After practice was over and Sanada had headed home, the captain went on his way to his home. When he got there, he went straight to his room and picked up the picture lying on the desk.

The blue haired teen followed his vice captain to Yagyuu's house. When they arrived, Yukimura found that no one was home, or so he thought. As soon as Sanada pushed the door open, he heard a certain Tensai cry out in pain. Yukimura turned on the lights and the rest of the regulars jumped out of their respective hiding spots, and yelled, "Surprise!" At the top of their lungs. Except Yanagi. The data master held a small box and he offered it to the captain, who accepted it and threw his arms around his two best friends.

"You two were in on it too?" Yukimura asked.

"Of course. You being released from the hospital is a big deal." Sanada stated.

"And our team performance has gone down by 37 percent, since Genichirou was put in charge."

"You can't go one day without making fun of me, can you?" Sanada asked.

"Hey, fukubuchou do you mind moving the door?!" Marui yelled. Sanada moved the door and a flattened version of Marui appeared.

"I don't think Sanada-kun pushed the door that hard, Marui-kun." Yagyuu said.

"He really didn't, Marui-senpai." Kirihara added. He smirked at the fact that he took a picture while his senpai was behind the door.

"This proves you're fat, Marui." Niou smirked.

"For the last time, I'm not fat!" Marui retorted.

The picture showed Marui behind the door, Niou smirking, Yagyuu elbowing him, Jackal pointing at the door, and Yanagi being the only sane one, besides Yukimura and Sanada, who were staring at Niou.

So, as usual, please review and give me feedback!
