CHAPTER X

Atobe Tells the Truth

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Prince of Tennis, their characters and everything. I just own this story/plot I made.

After a half hour of throwing things that Rein threw and avoiding it by the team members of Hyotei Tennis Team they are now gathered at their clubroom. Atobe is seated at his royal chair while Oshitari is reading his favorite novel. He is trying to forget what happened earlier to them, he is seated now beside Gakuto who is eating his favorite cookies.

"Hey, Gakuto-sempai where did you hide that big cookie jar of yours?." Hiyoshi said.

"Why you asked? Don't tell me you tried to stole it?. " Gakuto said with his mouth full of cookies.

"Of course not!." Hiyoshi said. "Just don't stock many sweets in our locker room because the ants are following the scent of your sweets. There are lots of ants now in here." Hiyoshi added while scratching his back which has been bitten by ants. "I must find a way to hide those snacks from him." He thought.

"They just love sweets like me." Gakuto responded with a wide grin. He is still munching his chocolates and cookies.

The two stopped talking because they heard the loud laugh of Shishido who is tapping the shoulder of Rein.

"That was great Rein!." Shishido exclaimed while tapping the back of Rein.

"Ouch, Sempai Shishido stop it!." Rein said.

"I am just proud of you because of what you've done to Atobe. Hahaha, no one even tried to do that to Atobe. I am very happy because you avenge me to that moron Atobe1." Shishido laughed.

"Shishido-sempai don't say that." Ootori said.

"But are you really dating our Captain, Rein?." Oshitari said.

"Tell us the truth…." Jirou said with puppy teary eyes.

"Of course yes! She is Ore-sama's girlfriend." Atobe said.

"Of course not!." Rein said. Then she throws something soft and color black which lands straight to the face of Atobe.

"Hey, you threw something again to me!." Atobe protested. "And what the hell is this?." He said while looking at the thing that land in his face.

"Hey, that is my boxer!." Taki suddenly said.

"Ewwwww!" Everybody said.

"Yuck!" Atobe said.

"Hahahaha!." Shishido, Gakuto and Hiyoshi laughed.

Rein blinked. She does not know what thing she throws. "Sorry Taki." She said facing Taki.

"Sempai Atobe please tell us the truth to why did you announce that you love Rein?. You know that it is hard for us to believe that." Ootori asked.

"Why does it is hard? Is it hard to believe that the King Atobe falls in love to someone?." Atobe said.

"Usu" Kabaji said.

Rein felt cold in hearing what statement Atobe said. -_- "Maybe I will be having a fever because of this?." She said.

"Yes it is hard to believe for us!." Shishido said.

"Yeah, I also couldn't believe in that." Hiyoshi sighed.

"We know you love someone but it is not Rein! So tell us the truth Atobe." Oshitari said.

"He love someone?." Rein repeats inside her head.

"Ahn?." Atobe said.

"Now tell us the truth Atobe." Gakuto said boringly.

"Alright but promise me to make this secret only 10 of us will new what is the real reason of me and Rein in doing this." Atobe said.

Everyone looked at Rein.

"Hey! Why are you all looking at me like that? I do not know anything!." Rein crossed her arms.

"Are you telling the truth?." Hiyoshi said with a doubtful tone.

"Wait let me think…" Rein acted like she is thinking. Her finger is below her chin.

"As I remember…." Rein added. Suddenly she closed her eyes. "zzzzzzz…zzzzzzzz."

"zzzzzz…."

"Hey don't sleep!" Everyone in the clubroom shouted. Ootori tapped the back of Rein causing for her to wake up.

"Huh? Where am I?." Rein said when she opens her eyes..

"She already forgotten what happened?." Oshitari sighed. "I think only Atobe can explain this."

"I can't believe she is at the same speed at falling asleep to Jirou?." Gakuto jaw dropped while looking at the direction of Jirou.

"Heh?." Jirou blinks. "Why?."

"" Gakuto just said to Jirou.

"Okay, listen now." Atobe snapped his fingers. "I will tell you now".(He paused for a dramatically effect with rose petals which came from somewhere.)

"Hey, where this came from? Why there are rose petals in our clubroom?." Jirou asked.

"Such a drama queen….." Both Hiyoshi and Taki whispered.

"Atobe clean this dirt!." Shishido shouted. "I will not clean this!." He said pointing to the direction of the petals that landed on the floor. (Actually he is the cleaner of the clubroom for one week because he loses at the bet that he and Atobe did last week.)

"It is for dramatic effect! Ore-sama wants his explanations be dramatic like love." Atobe responded while using his famous insight posed.

Rein noticed that the flower petals came from the ceiling she noticed that Kabaji is in the ceiling throwing some petals. She sweat dropped.

"Sempai, what are you doing in our roof?." Rein said.

Atobe answered her, "He makes this setting more dramatically by throwing Ore-sama's favorite flower petals." Atobe smirked.

"I couldn't understand him." Rein and Ootori said.

Rein was shocked when she heard that Ootori also couldn't understand Atobe. \(O.O)/

"Really?" She asked Ootori.

"Sadly sometimes, yes." Ootori responded with a sighed.

"Hey, Kabaji fixed that hole you made while Atobe will clean this dirt!." Shishido said with an annoyed tone.

"It is not dirt. It is flowers!." Atobe depended.

Atobe let out a sigh then he decided to continue his talking.

"Ore-sama is desperate to have a girlfriend or at least a girl that he can tell to his parents that he is courting that lucky girl." Atobe's statement has been stopped when Rein speak.

"Can't you avoid calling your self like a third person?." Rein suddenly said.

"Shut up noisy girl!." Atobe snapped.

"You're an abnormal….." Rein said.

A vein pooped at Atobe's forehead. "Can you just keep quiet so that Ore-sama can continue what he is saying?." Atobe said.

"Hey Gakuto-sempai can I taste that cookies?." She snob what do Atobe is saying to her.

"Of course you can have it." Gakuto joyfully said.

"Can you at least listen to me?." Atobe said. "Hey!"

"But why you used Rein as a fake girlfriend?." Taki said.

"Oh, that hurts.." Rein said to herself.

"Good question Taki! I choose Rein because she is not a fan girl and doesn't even have a trace of wanting to be a fan girl of mine. So I talked to her and asked her to do my plan of using her as my girlfriend in public." Atobe said.

"Hey, I don't remember that we made a talked about your plan? When, why, where it is happened?." Rein was dumbfounded.

Atobe jaw dropped. "Don't tell me you already forgotten it?." Atobe said.

"…..?..." Rein doesn't respond.

"Ah, Atobe there is a tendency that Rein totally forgotten what happened. She easily had forgotten what happened to her after a few days." Oshitari said.

"Hmm. Your right Sempai-Oshitari!." Rein happily said.

"What! She can't forget that!." Atobe said with disbelieved tone. He looked at the direction to where Rein is. "We made a talked at the school lab. And Ore-sama promises to you that if you help Ore-sama in his problem he will reward you with anything you want." Atobe added.

Rein thinks deeply. She thinks really hard. Her hands are in the sides of her head. A word 'Genie' recognize in her brain.

"Oh! I remember now!." She said.

"At last!." Atobe gladly said.

"But as I remember you said that I will only going to act as a girl that you like only in front of your parents but not in public? So I was angry at you when you do that announcement in front of all the students and teachers in this school." Rein said.

"Well, it is also part of the act. Because Ore-sama knew that there is a spy that was watching Ore-sama for at least 3 days straight. He is reporting directly to my mother and also to let me escape to those creepy fan girls of mine." Atobe said. "There is lots of it in this school."

"Spy?." Gakuto cleared.

"Yeah, A spy." Atobe answered.

"We could understand that you like to lose all your creepy fan girls of yours. But why does your mother would rent a spy to watch their son?." Jirou asked.

"I guess they like to make sure that their son will someday be marrying a girl and to make a child so that their family will be having a heir." Oshitari said.

"I can't believe that there is a family like that?." Rein said.

"It is normal in noble families to have a political marriage to make their business grow bigger if they didn't see their child has a love life like what they saw at our Captain." Hiyoshi said.

"But Captain has lots of fangirls around the school?." Ootori said.

"And fan gays don't forget that Chotarou!." Shishido said with a grin.

"Hai, Sempai!." Ootori responded.

"But he didn't take them seriously so it might be the reason why they like to make sure that our Captain will have a love life?." Taki asked.

"Actually to tell you the truth, Ore-sama's parents like to make sure that their son will be marrying a girl. They don't care if what kind of girl it is but they like to make sure that Ore-sama will going to marry a human girl and not his tennis racket! That's it.." Atobe annoyed said.

"Hahaha, That's funny!." Rein laughed.

"That is the truth. They don't care if what kind of girl is it but it must be a girl and not a racket. " Atobe grits his teeth when saying this. "Hey, don't laughed!." He said to Rein who continuously laughing.

"Hahaha! I can't stop it." Rein said. "You will marry a tennis racket?." She added.

"The only rule is it must be a girl and not a racket so I choose you but I am afraid that they might reject you because they might thought that you are not a girl considering your ahmm," Atobe stop for a moment. He looked at the chest of Rein. Then he continued, "….your flat! And you are not a lady like type. But I have no choice.." Atobe sighed.

An arrow stab at the back of Rein. "Hey what do mean flat? Do you want a fight?." Rein said.

"Yeah, bring it on!." Atobe said.

"…" The team members think.

"Ah, Yuushi why I have a feeling that we see this happened at the past?." Gakuto dumbfounded said.

"Ah, right like what happened at Seigaku's Momoshiro and Kaido right?." Oshitari said.

"Ah, Seigaku! I miss them." Jirou suddenly said with a smile.

"Ehhhhh? Seriously?." All of them said except Jirou, Rein and Atobe.

~~~~~~ THE SEIGAKU~~~~~~

"I can't believe that you have a friend that is studying at Hyotei?." Momo said.

"She is my childhood friend." Echizen said.

"She must be rich?." Momo said.

"She?" Kikumaru said.

Echizen and Momo gulped and shouted because they are surprised to see Kikumaru. "Where did you came from Sempai?."

"Maybe she is Ochibi's girlfriend." Kikumaru teased Echizen.

"Neh, tell us Echizen who is she?." Momo asked Echizen. Now Kikumaru and Momo are clutching to Echizen.

"I said that she is my childhood friend. And Kikumaru-sempai where did you came from? And why are you here?." Said Ryoma, who is trying to escape from the clutch of his sempais.

After a few minutes of walk the three arrived at the place named Sweet House. That is selling breads, cakes, chocolates and Ice creams. The three of them ordered each an ice cream.

"Hey, why are we here? I thought we will going to Hyotei nya?." Kikumaru said.

"She said in her e-mail that we will meet in here. Hah, she is late. We must wait her." Echizen said.

~~~~~BACK AT HYOTEI~~~~~

"I remember I have to meet my best friend Ryoma. He must be mad at me now because I am late." Rein thought.

Author's Note: On the upcoming chapters I will try to make Rein meet the Seigaku Princes starting with Echizen, Momo and Kikumaru.

"I will meet Ochibi's friend-nya!." Said Kikumaru.

"Sempai don't eat my food it is mine." Ryoma said.

"Can I have this?." Momo joyfully asked.

"Hey, you!. Yes, you who are reading this. Don't be shy, you can make a review-nya!." Kikumaru smiled.

"Yes, you can. You can!." Momo said.

"Ochibi say something to the readers?." Kikumaru said to Ryoma.

"I like ponta?." Echizen said.

"Will you three stop it? It is end of chapter 10! Wait for the next chapter. Next chapters will be exposure of Seigaku team." The Author said to the three with a sighed.

"The author is tired." Momo whispered while Echizen is opening his can of Ponta.

"Nya! Nya!." Kikumaru said with a jump.

"Ponta!." Echizen said.

"You three just shut up!." The Author said.

"Hai!." The three said in unison.
