Sempais in Distress

Sempais in Distress

Chapter 11

The clings of their silverwares and the chopsticks are heard from Inui's kitchen. A bunch of teenage guys was in there feasting on their homemade lunch. Lucky for Eiji, their kouhai just woke up when they entered the household. They were just sitting obediently on Inui's elegant carpet, waiting to be fed. They were all drinking in their bottles that Fuji and Tezuka bought from the supermarket. While the young kouhais were enjoying their milk that their "daddies" bought them, Eiji and Oishi were munching an apple, Kawamura and Fuji were eating their tuna sashimi (Fuji's were coated with wasabi) and Tezuka and Inui were eating some sandwiches and miso soup.

"You make excellent sashimis, Taka-san." Said Fuji, which was about to eat another one.

"Really?" said Kawamura, blushing. "Well, not as good as my father, ehehehe."

Inui then cocked his head to Kawamura's side.

"Don't me modest, Taka-san." Said Oishi. "You're a great chef!"

"Which reminds me, Taka-san" said Inui, opening his notebook. "You'll going to help your family's restaurant after you graduate, correct?"

An awkward silence filled the room.

The genuine smile on Kawamura's lips turned into a forced one. "Yeah, so I'd like to do my best while I can still play tennis."

"You're going to quit, nya?"

"Yeah, that's right, Eiji."

"One month to go, huh?" said Oishi, with a gentle tone.

"Well, we became champion against Rikkaidai," said Fuji. "Echizen sure had a nice game with Yukimura."

"He's the Seigaku's pillar of support after all." Said Tezuka, with pride.

"Is that a compliment, buchou?" Fuji mocked.

"Hn"

"…"

" Well, I still have a part of me that I don't want to leave our kouhais on their own." Said Oishi.

"But they have to move on, nya." Said Eiji, which was about to grab a sandwich. "So are we, nya."

"Which reminds me," said Inui, looking at Tezuka. "Which one will be captain?"

"…"

"Echizen?" said Oishi.

"Iye." Said Tezuka. "He'll be flying back to America."

"So that leaves Kaidoh and Momo, nya" said Eiji. "How about Momo, he can always cheer up depressed members."

"…"

"Or Kaidoh," said Inui. "He sure can help them with training."

"…"

"It's tough to decide, huh Tezuka?" said Fuji.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Hehehehe," said Fuji. "They know they're we're talking about."

"Tch, sempai!" Yuuta exclaimed. "We're wasting time!"

There were the four, all seated under a tree. They've been searching for almost three hours, but all their efforts were in vain. They were so curious what's up with Seigaku, they were sure something was fishy, they just can't put their minds to it. The sun's heat was blazing under them, making them sweat as its rays burrowed in their flesh.

"It's so hot, Shinji. Kamio whined. "Can we go now?"

The Fudomine's blue-haired player only eyed him with boredom,shook his head no and went back to his cloud gazing.

"Yuuta, don't you want to know about your brother's interests in Tezuka-san?" said Mizuki and grinned at him maliciously.

"I-interests?!" Yuuta echoed, eyeing his sempai nervously. "What do you mean sempai?"

Oh god! He's so sure his aniki is straight.

"Come on, Yuuta." Said Mizuki nearing his face to him. "He has an affair with him…"

"Affair."

"Affair…"

"AFFAIR!!"

"NOOOOO!! MY BROTHER IS NOT GAAAAAAAAAY!" was all he exclaimed.

"Say ah, Momo-chan nya." Said Eiji holding a spoon full of mashed pickles. It was sure hard feeding babies. "Come on, nya. It's a chu chu train going in a tunnel." He sang to Momo.

"Hummph!" Momo refused, looking the other way.

Eiji scowled. The older Momo would shove any food in his mouth, why was the younger one so picky?!

"Ne, ne, Momo-chan." He said holding the spoon near his mouth. "Look, its tasty nya." Eiji then ate it, leaving the spoon clean.

"Mm-….blaaaaaaaahh!!" Eiji spat the baby food.

"My tongue! My tongue nya! It burns!"

"Waaaaahhhh, Oishi!" he cried.

Recognizing that voice, the vice captain then came bursting out of the kitchen, wanting to know what happened to his partner.

"What happened Eiji?" Said Oishi, worried. "Are they hurt?" he then walked near him.

"It's my tongue whose hurt, nya!" he whined. "Here" he gave the baby food to Oishi. "You feed them!" he then came running to the bathroom.

"But Eiji-.." he was cut off the slamming of the door.

"This isn't baby food…" he mumbled, sweat dropping. "Its…wasabi."
