Rumor Has It - More From the Grapevine

by mcangel1976

More rumors are floating around the middle school tennis circuit and I am bringing them together for your warning, pleasure, enjoyment, horror... take your pick. There is no telling what is true or not, but that is for you to decide. Something has to be true if everyone is talking... maybe. Just like before no one is safe from the rumor mill. Tennis players beware.

11. Fuji, Momo, and Akutsu Cosplay

A/N: This one was requested by ice spy with no eyes. Sorry it took so long to do this one.

Rumor involving: Fuji Syusuke - regular member and tensai of the Seigaku tennis team, and resident sadist of the school. Also involving: Momoshiro Takeshi (aka Momo) – regular member of the Seigaku tennis team and future fukubuchou. Also involving: Akutsu Jin – aka Monster Akutsu, regular member of Yamabuki tennis team who doesn't like to practice or lose.

Apparently Momoshiro Takeshi likes to cosplay, or at least that is the rumor, however, I hear that when Anime Con came to town he had no intention of going until Fuji Syusuke strongly suggested that they go together. Now Momo not wanting to disappoint his senpai – and not wanting to end up in the torture chamber again – agreed very quickly to go lest he pay for his disobedience. I heard that he went as Gon from HunterXHunter because that's what Fuji told him to wear. Momo expected the tensai to dress as another character from the same anime, but when they met up, Fuji was dressed as Gin from Bleach; and thankfully he was able to keep his mouth shut because he didn't want to piss off his senpai. You never know what is hiding behind that smile. Walking around the convention floor, Momo accidentally bumped into another person dressed in cosplay (a Hisoka cosplayer) and gasped. He would have run away, but Fuji was behind him preventing his escape. The cosplayer he ran into: Akutsu Jin, who did not want anyone to recognize him or know that he had a passion for anime or cosplay. Apparently the short tempered former Yamabuki tennis player grabbed Momo and informed the power player that he didn't see anything and would not remember seeing Akutsu there. Momo said, "I don't know you! I promise!" Fuji finally stepped it when it appeared that Momo might have wet himself or was on the verge of it and smiled at the white haired teen, "Why don't you let him go?" I heard that Fuji's reputation is notorious as well as his torture chamber and Akutsu immediately released Momo and started to walk away when the tensai said, "Why don't you come and visit Seigaku one day. I have something to show you." It is said that Akutsu was never seen around Seigaku and never bothered any of the team members again. Actually, I heard that he went on a very long trip and was trying to apply to study abroad.
