Melody: Haha, hard training!
Alya: Work hard! I'll be supporting you mentally.
Sei-chan: We don't need that. Do the disclaimer, Alya-chan.
Alya: So mean! Alya does not own any of these guys! Other than Melody-chan!
10 - Golden Week - Camp Day Two to Four
It was a hot day, and we had mixed matches with the girls, going by a system where everyone from the male side gets to play with everyone from the female side, be it Seigaku or Rikkaidai. So, it literally meant that each person from the male side needed to play with every single girl from the female side, be it Seigaku or Rikkaidai, and to top it off, the matches would take three days where we started in the morning at 7am, all the way till evening 5pm with a two hour lunch break in between.
Hearing this news, I crashed into the sofa of the Rikkaidai clubroom, pouting like a little girl, hogging Akaya's pillow. Just by counting, we each had sixteen matches to play, with eight regulars from Seigaku, and eight from Rikkaidai. However, with the male side having more people, the girls had more matches to play than us, so we were in no place to be complaining.
" Continue pouting, and I would soon have to hang a basket there." Sei-chan said, teasingly.
" But I don't wanna!" I lifted my legs and laid across the entire sofa, still hogging the pillow.
" Besides that, give me back my pillow." Akaya said, putting out his hand, sitting on my legs.
" Go away, you're heavy." I kicked his butt and threw the pillow in his face.
" Besides that, Fuji-kun, please sit like a lady," Yagyuu came in saying, " I've got a very nice view upon entering," he smiled.
Immediately, I blushed bright red and sat properly.
" Well, I can't talk to you anymore. I've got to go for my match. For the three days, you'll be playing for Rikkaidai to lessen the matches for the girls, so don't let me see you wearing the Seigaku jersey. I shall claim you for as long as you are lent to me." Sei-chan smiled.
" Unfair..." I pouted, and flomped down onto the sofa again.
I started my matches with the Rikkaidai girls who were already warned by Sei-chan, so they really played seriously, and tried to overpower me but of course, after learning tennis from Mitsu nii-chan, Shuu-nii, Sei-chan and Gen-chan, I was on a level different from them.
After each match, the girls from Rikkaidai would reluctantly shake my hand, and stalk off, while I lazed around in my court waiting for the next girl to come in.
" Yo, Melody, how's it going?" Momo-senpai came by.
" Momo-senpai? Why are you here? Your match?" I asked.
" I started with Seigaku. I've just finished my match with twenty minutes spare. So I've been walking around like this." he grinned.
" Sou? I'm waiting for the next girl." I sighed.
" Hmm... I still like you better in your Seigaku jersey." he said.
" I know. I'm just here to even out the numbers. Don't mind me. Besides that, Shuu-nii's matches?" I asked.
" He's been winning straight. The girls are smitten by him." he sighed.
" I see..." I laughed.
" Well, see ya." he said and went off.
By the middle of day two of the mix matches, I was playing with the Seigaku girls already. Again, I met my old enemies and they did not go easy on me. Seeing me in the Rikkaidai uniform, they took it that I was abandoning Seigaku.
" Yukiko Fuji, so you're abandoning Seigaku for Rikkaidai?" she asked.
" No," I said getting up from the bench with my racket.
" Look at you, so cocky in the Rikkai uniform." she made tchk tchk noises.
" Forget it. I've got nothing to say to you. Let's just start the match." I sighed.
" Of course. I'll destroy you." she smiled smugly.
" Let's see who gets destroyed first." I muttered not feeling all too nice to go easy on her.
The days went on like that, and Inui started a point system, seeing which side would win. The male or female side. The losers would have to treat the winners to pizza for dinner on the fourth night, and drink his juice.
Playing with the Rikkai girls, I felt the strain in my arm already. I was sure everyone felt it too. It was indeed tiring. I was the final match of the day with the second Seigaku girl. Everywhere hurt, and I pouted.
It was unfair.
At the end of the day, the male side was leading with 7 points ahead of the girls. Many of the girls lost as they could not stand their idols just standing right before them, and they hurriedly lost the match to get it over and done with, to gush over their idols.
" Yay! We're leading! Let's keep the game sliding in our favor okay? Oishi!" Kikumaru-senpai went.
" Of course. We want our pizza." Oishi-senpai said.
" God, I'm busted!" I said and stretched my arms into the sky.
" Me too!" Mitsuka said.
" Shuu-nii, carry me!" I said and jumped on him.
" But I'm busted too," he smiled, letting me down, " be a good girl and walk by yourself." he said.
" Eh~~~" I whined.
" Come on, be a good girl." he smiled and ruffled my hair.
After the last day, the male side had won, but we too suffered so losses. Our muscles ached like mad immediately after all the matches, though we had pizza, and the female teams were all sick from Inui's juice.
Melody: Wahh! Inui-senpai's juice * cowers in fear shivering *
Inui: Want to try?
Alya: No thanks...
Melody: Shuu-nii... carry me? * gives innocent eyes *
Shuu-chan: Nope nope. Don't be a naughty girl.
Alya: Haiz... Reivews please!
