Okay, so... I got the name Touya from Cardcaptor Sakura. When I entered Touya into this story, I was in my own TouyaYukito phase. Why? I watched this episode that showed some hints of them -hey, you can't blame me! It was as if they were really together there.

Also, sorry for the late update! I was so busy this past few weeks. I was preparing for a test (that I just took two days ago). I also did some things for the glee club (in which I just finished last night), and I'm currently finishing my Christmas exhibit sketch for school (my deadline is this Thursday). I'm also putting some focus onto animation (I have to get all its procedures by Saturday). Not to mention that I'm studying Korean (I need to learn how to read, write, and speak fluently in that language by May – long story). Good thing that I'm currently on a vacation from tennis. So that is why I wasn't able to update soon. Sowwwwweeee...

Chapter 10:

Plan in Action

"Yahoo! A sleepover with Fuji." Eiji said as he threw his arms in the air. His anxiousness to run out of the room was gone as it was replaced with excitement.

"Eiji, calm down." Oishi said as he brought his partner's arms down. All he wanted to do was to go back in time if that was possible.

"Goodnight, Touya." Tezuka said as he turned to Touya. He really wanted the said guy out.

"Okay, I'll go now, but only if Fuji accompanies me to the door." Touya stood up, his eyes kept on Tezuka and his expression was firm.

'Oh no,' Fuji thought as his smile suddenly vanished. He couldn't afford to stand up, not right now while Touya was in the room.

"No, I'll be the one to accompany you." Tezuka said sternly. He didn't say that because of what was hidden under the blankets, he said that because he didn't want Touya near Fuji.

"Why? Can't Fuji stand up?" Touya questioned.

"Nakuru got a sprain and couldn't stand up." He wanted Touya out.

'Good one' Fuji thought, but the other's thoughts were quite different.

'Sprain? So Tezuka made Fuji get a sprain and also made him bleed?' Eiji was internally panicking.

"Is it bandaged properly?" Touya asked.

"Yes," Tezuka answered. He was getting more anxious to throw the guy out with every second that passes.

"Well, then goodnight." Touya said as he walked towards the door with Tezuka right behind him. The moment he was out of the room, he turned around to wave at Fuji, "Goodnight, Naku-" but was once again met by the door that was slammed at his face. When Tezuka turned around to walk towards the bed where Fuji was sitting, everyone looked down.

'This is amusing,' Fuji thought as his smile went back to his face.

"I don't know how you could stand that guy." Tezuka spoke to Fuji. If ever he was told something like what Touya said to Fuji, he would have punched the guy hard.

"He's flattering." Fuji wanted to back away from Touya when he was being told those words, but he couldn't help but be amused with Tezuka's reaction.

"Fuji." Tezuka said, his voice sterner than usual.

Fuji softly laughed, "Okay, I'll stop now. I'm sorry." The two just stayed in their current position, lost in their thoughts, completely forgetting about the regulars that were in the room, that is, until Momo spoke.

"Uhmm... Tezuka-buchou, Fuji-senpai..." The two looked at him, suddenly remembering their little revenge. "Are you guys, you know," Momo hesitated and scratched his head, "okay?"

"Why do you ask, Momo?" Fuji, getting excited, asked.

"We just thought that you were in some sort of trouble." The rest stayed quiet as they were getting nervous with each passing second.

"What kind of trouble?" Fuji's expression suddenly turned serious as he opened his eyes and a frown appeared on his face. Fright came to the regulars.

"You know..." Momo looked down and kept his hand on his head.

"Is that why you punched Touya?" asked Fuji

"Uhm... yah." Momo kept his eyes on the floor.

"You know what happened?" Tezuka spoke, thus making the regulars want to escape grow. All of them had one idea in their mind: to escape by jumping out of the window or balcony. None of them wanted to meet Tezuka's eyes as they kept theirs down.

After a moment of silence, Oishi brought his head up to look at Tezuka and stood up from the bed. "Yes, Tezuka. We heard the whole thing." Everyone turned to the vice captain.

"How did you find out?" Tezuka asked.

"We," Oishi paused and looked down yet again, "we left a mic here in your room." 'we're dead.'

"You put a mic in our room?" Tezuka asked.

"Don't get angry, Tezuka!" Eiji suddenly stood up to help Oishi with the problem he was encountering. "We didn't mean any harm, nya?" he was beside Oishi with his arms in front of his chest. His face was trying to put up a smile but he only succeeded in showing his teeth.

"But because of that, you guys are now in this mess." Tezuka walked to stand at Fuji's bacl. He turned to look at the regulars and sat himself behind Fuji. "There's no turning back now." Tezuka said as he kept his eye on them. Fuji on the other hand, had sadness written all over his face as he looked away. Tezuka, after a short moment of silence. placed his hand on Fuji's shoulder. "You probably know about this." Tezuka directed his gaze on Fuji's shoulder. Slowly, Tezuka pushed the blanket down, revealing Fuji's arm that was tainted with red. It was actually just red liquid but for the regulars, it was blood.

Everyone's face paled as they saw this. Their eyes stayed on the arm and their mouths dropped yet again. For them, it was real blood, no question about that. The arm wasn't completely covered in red. It was covered only in the proper places, thus perfectly deceiving them.

"I hit him too hard." Tezuka said as he kept his other hand on Fujis other shoulder. The hand that brought down the blanket suddenly reached out for something. "I pushed him too hard that he fell to the floor, but this scissors also fell, cutting his arm." Fuji closed his eyes and Tezuka turned to look at Fuji's face, still holding the said object. "You know you shouldn't have done it." Tezuka addressed Fuji.

"I know. I'm sorry." Fuji kept his eyes closed as everyone else in the room focused theirs on him.

'This can't be happening.' Inui thought, extreme guilt flowing through him. 'This shouldn't have happened. This is all beyond my calculations.' While guilt was beside Inui, confusion and frustration filled the others. They wanted to do something but was scared to. They wanted to say something but found no words. They just stared at the scene in front of them.

Tezuka slowly turned his head to look at the regulars who were sitting on the other bed near the window. "You guys wouldn't say anything about this. After all, you wouldn't want people to think bad about our team, would you? If any of us does something bad, the whole team will be affected." Tezuka's face was void of any emotion, and with him still holding the stained scissors and Fuji, everyone panicked even more. Fuji on the other hand, didn't move an inch as he was trying to suppress his laughter.

"Uhm... Tezuka..." Oishi spoke as his face held utter panic like the other regulars. However, that was the only thing he was able to say as he kept eye contact with Tezuka. His mind has just gone completely blank when those sharp eyes concentrated on him. All he could do was stare back.

Eiji then tried to save his doubles partner from those eyes by speaking up, "What he means is..." but also ended up speechless as Tezuka turned to look at him. His face was frozen in place and his mouth was left open as no muscle dared to move. 'Those piercing eyes... Fuji bleeding in his arms and...nyah! I want to escape from all of this!'

As Eiji and Tezuka continued to stare at each other, Fuji slowly opened his eyes, showing the tears that were forming. He really gave the impression of pure depression. It was like he was screaming for the people there to help him. Eiji and Oishi weren't able to see this act though as they were held in place.

'Fshh...' Kaidoh tensed.

'Fuji-senpai,' Ryoma's face suddenly held pity as his eyes suddenly looked down, not wanting to see the cry for help in Fuji's eyes.

'Fuji' Kawamura wanted to carry him out of this room, far from Tezuka.

'Tezuka-buchou wouldn't do this to Fuji-senpai. This isn't happening.' Momo's whole body went limp.

'This is all my fault!' Inui screamed in his mind. He wished that he hadn't planned this, that he never thought of this idea.

Silence fell upon them, that is, until Tezuka broke it.

"What did you want to say?" Tezuka asked as he stood up, letting go of Fuji but keeping the stained scissors in his hand. When Fuji was let go, the tensai hugged himself and kept himself from looking at the regulars. His eyes were open, concentrated on the bedsheets. He had the image of someone who was really ashamed of himself.

"I'm sorry, Tezuka!" Inui, who was standing at the side of the bed, walked towards Fuji and Tezuka. The two's emotions though didn't change, as if they were expecting this. The others in the room however, were too shocked to notice this. "I can't help but think that this is all my fault, so please forgive me." Inui let himself fall to the floor as he did a kowtow (bowed with his nose to the ground). "This wouldn't have happened if I didn't plan this whole thing. I even made you guys roommates. I forced the whole team to play along. So please forgive me! If you guys weren't roommates, if you guys weren't voted cutest couple, this wouldn't have happened. I'm terribly sorry. Please forgive me." Inui said as he dare not show his face.

Surprised with Inui's action, the rest of the regulars followed him. "Please forgive us." None of them wanted to show their faces as they kept it down.

Looking down at the regulars, the two other occupants smiled. They wanted to chuckle, giggle, laugh or whatnot, but they decided to reserve it for later. However, Fuji wasn't able to hold back his laughter. He giggled softly as a smile appeared on his face. When the sound of his laughter reached the ears of those on the floor, they all tensed.

'Fuji' Inui made a recap of everything as his face didn't leave the floor.

'and Tezuka-buchou' Momo now realized that Touya was telling the truth when he said he had no idea of what he was talking about.

'were in this,' Oishi felt totally humiliated.

'together,' Ryoma knew that he shouldn't have allowed Inui to blackmail him into joining this plan.

'Nyah, we were,' Eiji felt like a total fool for worrying over nothing

'all' Kawamura felt embarrassed with this, considering the fact that he and the rest were still in their costumes.

'fshh... tricked.' Kaidoh wished that he was chased by the guy from 193B instead.

Those on the floor kept their faces on it, not wanting to look up. All of them were speechless.

"There's no need to give us the silent treatment." Fuji said as he stood up from the bed to stand beside Tezuka, who now removed the smile from his face. He was amused that this actually worked but preferred not to show it.

Slowly, they stood up but kept their heads bowed. They were all red with embarrassment. They couldn't even bear to look at those two in the eye considering what they did.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you guys anymore. Just look up." Fuji said, and so they did. They saw Fuji and Tezuka standing side by side. Fuji was free from the blankets and the red liquid was still on his arm. A smile was on his face. As for Tezuka, his facade stayed the same. "See, Kunimitsu, I told you that even Inui wouldn't notice anything."

Inui looked down yet again as Tezuka nodded in response and released something that resembled a small laugh. The regulars however, were too embarrassed to even comment on how scarcely he showed such emotion, but Fuji wasn't feeling down one bit.

"You laughed." Fuji said.

"Yes." Tezuka;s face then went back to its normal look.

"You're frowning again." Fuji pointed out as he kept his eyes on Tezuka's face.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

As they exchanged words, the others felt more anxious to leave the room by any means possible. However, one curious Echizen asked a question.

"Did you use real blood?" Everyone turned to the small freshman who was at the back of the regulars. Now that Echizen mentioned it, the regulars wondered, 'is that really blood?' Slowly, they turned to look at Fuji's arm in which their eyes later on traveled to the stained scissors and bedsheets, going back to the slim arm.

"Yes, Echizen." Everyone froze when Fuji said those words, eyes suddenly snapping to look at Fuji's blue ones. Tezuka on the other hand, just glared at the one beside him, as if he was telling him to stop already. Unfortunately, Fuji didn't notice him as he was having so much fun with the regulars reactions. "Do you know how I wounded myself?" Everyone's eyes widened even more.

"You did that to yourself?" Oishi exclaimed. "Fuji, you know that that is bad for you! What if you badly got hurt or something, didn't you think about that?" Oishi stepped forward.

"No. I was too busy thinking of how to get back at you guys." Fuji replied. Oishi didn't say another word after that. Slowly, they all moved a step backward, feeling panic rising up their body yet again.

"Fuji, tell the truth already." Tezuka said which brought relief to the regulars, although it did take them about ten seconds to recover from their slight shock. They were actually quite happy that Fuji was joking this time.

"But I am telling the truth," Fuji said as he looked at Tezuka, facial expression not changing.

'No! he's joking!' Oishi thought as he fought the urge to twitch.

'Fujiko is not that crazy!' Eiji's face was frozen with a forced smile on his face. The smile appeared when Tezuka told Fuji to tell the truth, but it became distorted when Fuji said that he was telling the truth.

"Fuji." Tezuka said.

"Okay, I'll tell the truth now." Fuji looked at the regulars as they visibly relaxed. "That was a just a certain red liquid that seems like blood. I bought it at a store once. The clerk there said that it would really make people think that it was blood, that's why I bought it with me today in case a chance like this arises." Everyone tensed again at those words. Fuji could really be sadistic at times.

"Now," Tezuka said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, "could you tell us as to what brought you guys to think of this plan of yours?"

"Uhmmm..." said the regulars as their minds were in a complete mess, until Momo suddenly got an idea.

Momo turned to Inui and then to Tezuka and Fuji. He suddenly pointed to Inui, "He dragged us into this! It's all his fault!" His sudden outburst surprised everyone in the room. Seeing that he now has a chance to escape, he ran, but wasn't able to get enough distance for Echizen grabbed him.

"Oh no, you're in this too!" Echizen said as he held onto Momo's arms.

"Echizen!" Momo exclaimed as he really wanted to escape this whole mess.

"What time is it, Fuji?" Tezuka suddenly asked, completely silencing the two as all eyes were once again set on them.

"three in the morning," Fuji said after he looked at his wrist watch that amazingly wasn't stained with red.

Tezuka turned his head to look at the regulars once again. "Kaidoh, Momoshiro and Echizen, you can go back to your room now. As for you four, stay."

"Wha?" Eiji exclaimed as his mouth opened wide.

"Thanks buchou!" Momo said in a loud voice as he jogged out the room, Kaidoh and Echizen right behind him. The moment the three were out, Tezuka and Fuji turned to the other three with a frown on both of their faces.

"Fujiko!" Eiji ran towards Fuji. "You're not angry, are you?" Eiji said as he stood in front of Fuji. 'uh-oh, he's made,' he only noticed the frown on Fuji's face when he was already in front of his best friend. "I'm sorry!" Eiji hugged Fuji. "I'm sorry, Fuji! Please forgive me! I've done wrong!"

"Eiji, please let go." Fuji said without any trace of emotion.

"Huh?" Eiji let go but was deeply surprised with Fuji. He has never gotten this mad at him before. Surprise was clearly seen on his face as his eyes were wide and his mouth was open. Fuji's face still didn't show a smile as his eyes were open, staring straight into the ones of Eiji. 'He's mad. He's mad.'

Suddenly, out of a few moments of silence and stares, Fuji smiled. "That was fun."

"Ha?" Eiji was surprised yet again at the sudden change of attitude as he finally figured out that Fuji was just playing with him. "Oi, that was mean, Fujiko!"

Fuji softly laughed. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it. Also, we were just kidding. You guys can go."

"Really? Thanks, Fujiko!" Eiji excitedly said as he went out the room, followed by Kawamura, Oishi, and lastly Inui. However, as Inui was about to exit the room, Tezuka called out to him.

"Except you, Inui." The said guy froze. "You stay here." Inui looked up to the door and saw it closing slowly.

'I'm dead.' Inui turned to look at Tezuka, awaiting what was yet to come. As he came in contact with those sharp eyes, he came to a conclusion, 'my end is near.'

"You can go, Inui." Fuji said, bringing shock to the two. "He's just kidding." His smile was ever present on his face.

"No, I'm not." Tezuka said as he kept his eyes on Fuji who was looking at Inui.

"Goodnight, Inui."

"Thank you, Fuji!" Inui ran out of the room.

"Why did you do that? I wanted to talk to him." Tezuka said as Fuji turned to look at him straight in the eye.

"Let him be. He didn't mean no harm."

"I wasn't going to scold him." Tezuka brought his hand to rest on Fuji's clean arm.

"huh? Then what?" Fuji started to feel nervous all of the sudden. He felt as if something unusual is going to happen.

"I wanted to thank him." Tezuka replied to Fuji's question. He finally got his moment alone with Fuji – no Touya, no regulars.

"For what?" 'is he-?'

"If it wasn't for him, then I wouldn't have been able to say how much I love you." Tezuka softly smiled. He barely puts on a smile, but that doesn't mean that he's incapable of doing so.

'The impossible did happen,' Fuji smiled back at him, not knowing what to say.

Slowly, Tezuka descended to capture Fuji's lips, both of their eyes closing in anticipation.

--room 194A--

'If it wasn't for Fuji, I would have been dead,' Inui thought as he entered the room. The sight in front of him surprised him though. Everyone was there, crowded in the middle. 'The speaker!' Fuji and Tezuka forgot to throw away the microphone and the regulars didn't seem to have learned their lesson.

The speaker let out some words, "If it wasn't for-" but those were the last things that came out of it as Inui suddenly ran, grabbed the speaker, and threw it out of the window.

"Hey, what was that for?" Eiji exclaimed as he stood up, hands on his waist.

Inui turned to look at Eiji. "Let's just not spy on them anymore. We've gone through Fuji's way of revenge, we wouldn't want to go through Tezuka's way too.

By 5 am, no more sound was heard as they were all in deep sleep.

--room 193A--

Momo and Kaidoh were surprised to find out that Inui gave them a room with only one bed. So when they went to the bed, they positioned themselves in the far ends of the bed, nearly falling off the said furniture.

--room 194A--

Inui had his notebook on his face. Apparently, he was writing something about not to mess with the two in the future when he fell asleep. Kawamura was snoring lightly while Echizen was dreaming of Karupin. Good thing for them, they had different beds. Only room 193B had one bed.

--room 195A--

Oishi was hugging his pillow while Eiji was lying on his stomach.

--room 192A--

Fuji slept in the same bed as Tezuka. Half of his body was on Tezuka's as his head was on his chest. Tezuka's arms on the other hand were draped around Fuji's body as his head was slightly turned towards Fuji.
