After that nasty food fight we all went upstairs picked rooms and took showers. Kris, Dawn, Rei, Lisa and Kamon, with the help of everyone else, of course, cleaned up the mess. Being who they are it was fairly quick and spotless after 2 hours. I put on some sleeping pants and a black beater shirt; putting my hair in a pony tail I walk to Ryoma's room to see Momo and Eiji there also. I smirk leaning on the doorway.
"As much as I would like to let you guys plan your next evil plot, Ryoma has bed time."
"Aw, Doshite?"
"Because you, dear brother, are being picked up by Oyaji in the morning, early."
"Nande?" he asks. I shrug my shoulders.
"He just said be ready to play tennis. Out Momo-chan, Eiji-san." I command they comply with a groan walking out sulkily. I close the door after saying good night to Ryoma.
I give a pointed look toward the two Regulars.
"I don't want you two in there after I leave, is that understood." they nod and scurry off to their rooms. I shake my head with a smile.
"They really are like children."
"And you really are like a mother." I hear from behind me. I turn to see Kunimitsu standing there with his usual look, arms crossed. I smirk.
"And you really are like a stern father watching as the said children are scolded." he raises an eyebrow at my comment before saying something.
"Be ready by 10 am." he says and closes his door. I smile and head off to my own room for the night.
I awake the next morning to someone shaking me. I could barely make out a voice so I answer with a simple:
"FUCK OFF! I'm trying to FUCKING SLEEP!!" and turn my back to the figure, going back to sleep. I hear bit of whispering, a protest, and a heavy sigh.
Next thing I know is I'm being lifted out of bed by powerful arms and tossed over their shoulder. I'm still half asleep so everything is not completely registered...yet.
I could hear laughing, a door close, and a figure stop. Ok, I can register that we're downstairs...outside, and...WAIT! OUTSIDE! I lazily lift my head but it's too late. My Pajama clad figure is thrown into the air and lands with a splash in cold. NOT YET HEATED WATER.
I surface with a glare and gasping for breath. The once laughing figures of Eiji, Momo, Rei, and a smirking Inui, turn into a frown of panic. "Uh Oh, um, I think we should run before she gets out." says Rei. Everyone else nods heading back inside and lock themselves in their rooms. 'They are in SO much trouble!' I think angrily. I pull myself out of the pool and walk quickly back up to my room glaring at EVERY pausing individual.
Once I had finished my HOT shower I get ready for my date with Kunimitsu. I shudder happily at the thought of me and Kunimitsu going on an official date.
"Must wear something nice." I whisper to myself fishing through my closet for a cute outfit.
(outfits in profile)
I finish picking my outfit I put it on and look at myself in the mirror.
"Not too showy and not too normal. I like." I smile, grab my bag and head out of my room and down the stairs. When I am halfway, down my breath caught in my throat. There stood Tezuka looking as handsome as ever.
I have to practically keep my eyes on the floor to keep from looking at him and blushing horribly or take the chance of tripping down the stairs. When I make it to the last step he holds out his hand which I take gracefully making him smile.
"You look beautiful." I smile as the color rushes to my face.
"Arigatou. You don't look half bad yourself." I smirk. He then leads me to the door where Rei is smirking and opens the door for us. I glare at him before completely passing him.
We walk down the street silently. 'Some date this is.' I think unhappily. I glance at Kunimitsu out the corner of my eyes. He is acting cool as always hands in his pocket and a plain look on his face, catching the passing girls' eye. I glower at them going unnoticed by my date.
"Ok look. Kunimitsu, you know I hate silence so let's talk about something."
"Like?" I think for a moment.
"Like... I don't know...music! Everyone listens to music!" I smile brightly clapping my hands together. He chuckle lightly shaking his head. "I don't." I pout.
"Nani! Music is life Kunimitsu. Fine my first objective of the day is to get you interested in music." I say and pull him off in the direction of the nearest music store.
I hold on to his hand as we walk into 'FYE' music store. I drag him off to a random section and look at the list of music.
"Ok try this one." I say handing him headphones and playing the sample song of Fall Out Boys' This ain't a scene it's an arms race.
After the song finishes he takes off the headphones and gives me a look. "What's the point of the song?" I growl.
"It doesn't have to have a purpose or a point. It just has to appeal to you." I shuffle through the list again.
"Okay try this one."
After an hour and a half I got him into something. He really liked '3 Days Grace' and 'Chris Daughtry'. He even got into 'The Fray'. We bought the CD's and headed for a Cafe for lunch.
Once we were seated a little blonde girl came bounding up to us happily. I swear I've seen her before.
"Welcome to Cafe Moya. I'm your waitress Nami!" She exclaims enthusiastically. I laugh. She is soo Kawaii, but where have I heard that name before.
"Ano...do you go to Seigaku?" I ask. She nods.
"Hai. I'm a first year." A light bulb appears over my head.
"Ah, now I remember, Ryoma told me about you. He says you annoy him, but your too Kawaii to be annoying." I comment. She smiles brightly giving a small curtsy.
"Arigatou. Now what would you like?" We order and she runs of to get it. I look at Kunimitsu who looks indifferent. 'I have to liven it up.'
"Hey lets go to the Amusement Park after this." I suggest he shrugs.
"You know, your not being a very good date." I pout. He opens his mouth to retort but someone else did it for him.
"Aww is Tezuka having some date trouble?" mocks a voice. I look up to see a couple of boys around our age.
"Atobe." states Kunimitsu plainly. I sigh heavily. 'Rival issues.' "What no hug hello?"
"Who the hell are you?" I ask annoyed by his presence. He finally is aware of my presence. He probably thought I was one of those chicks that sit back and watch the boys fight. WRONG! I enjoy a good fight.
"My apology dear maiden." he starts kissing the back of my hand which I take away and wipe of his touch with a napkin, a disgusted look on my face.
"I am Atobe Keigo. Tennis Captain of Hyotei Gakuen." I give him a look.
"And I care about your title because?"
"Kizuka, yamero." commands Kunimitsu softly as Nami comes over with our food and drinks. I glare at the boys one last time.
"Your lucky the kid is coming otherwise I'd kick your ass. Now get lost." Atobe looks taken aback but chuckles lightly.
"I like your attitude and you're cute when you're mad. Tezuka I guess we have something else we are competing for." Kunimitsu glares at him as he turns back to me.
"I'll be seeing you again." I smile mockingly.
"Maybe in Hell." he walks off still smirking lackeys in tow.
"Here's your food senpai-tachi." we give her a questioning look.
"I'm going to go out for the girls' tennis team tomorrow. I sometimes watch the boys practice from the window. It looks like fun." I smile.
"You should."
We eat fairly quickly, pay, and say bye to Nami. We walk to the amusement park hand in hand. Kunimitsu, being the gentleman, pays for our passes.
"Let's ride the Fireball first." I say pulling him toward the ride.
"Is it safe?"
"Oh come on. Be a dare devil once in a while." I reply as we stand in line. Again girls are checking him out giggling to their friends. I sigh.
"Maybe we shouldn't have gone on this 'date'." I say sadly.
"Nande?"
"Because it gets annoying with so many girls checking you out." I mumble. Kunimitsu chuckles almost to a point where it sounded like a laugh.
"Jealous?"
"NO!"
"If it worries you so much let's show them we're together." he whispers in my ear.
OKAY FREEZE
'What is he implying? Why is he doing this? Isn't it enough torture that we're in a false relationship when I want to be in a REAL relationship? I'm so confused. I want Chibi-chan T.T What should I do in this situation? Kiss him or not to kiss him? That is the question. HELP ME!!!!!'
UNFREEZE
I blush a thousand shades of red. 'He's so close to me.' I think. The faint smell of his cologne put my senses into overdrive making my body and mind go numb. He is so close to me, his lips inches from mine. His scent is intoxicating.
I nod an 'ok' unaware of my choice and how far in the line we were. In a split second his lips were on mine sending a tingly sensation throughout my entire body. His arms wrap around my small waist as my arms wrap around his neck. Our bodies fit perfectly together as we stood there kissing blocking the line.
A moment later, when oxygen actually became a necessity, we broke the kiss. Our eyes are half closed still in a daze. "I-I think they get th-the p-point." I stutter. He smiles.
"And we should move up." I snap out of it a see the huge gap between us and the ride. The people behind us look furious about the hold up, especially the girls. I smile.
"Let's go." I take his hand and drag him on the ride.
6 rides, 2 hotdogs, a bag of cotton candy, and a root beer float later we are walking around the game area.
"Oh let's play that one." I suggest walking up to a throwing game. The prize is a giant koala plushie. The vendor smiles as we approach.
"Well don't you two make the perfect couple?" I blush and look away causing him to laugh.
"Wanna play? The rules are simple, just knock the cans over. You get 3 tries for 2 bucks." he explains. I look at Kunimitsu.
He pays the 2 dollars and he gets the 3 balls. On the first throw gets them all down without much effort.
"You good, you play baseball or something?" asks the vendor handing me the prize plushie.
"Tennis." he answers simply leading my elsewhere.
We pass two booths and see a large commotion surrounding a gate. "I wonder what's going on."
"Then let's check it out." replies Kunimitsu. I nod and push through the crowd to find, what do you know, a tennis court.
"Is there anyone man enough to take me on?" shouts a girl on the court. 'She looks familiar.' I think. At the sight of her I could fill Kunimitsu tense up. She looks our way and her face brightens up considerably. She runs over.
"Tezuka-kun." she greets sweetly. I roll my eyes.
"Kanna."
"Are you here alone?" she pries I step in front of Kunimitsu protectively glowering.
"No, he's not." I answer.
"Who are you?" she questions hotly. I smirk.
"His girlfriend." she glares darkly. I guess that shut her up. I turn to leave.
"Let's go Kunimitsu there's nothing interesting here." I state beginning to walk away, he follows.
"Play me in a match." I stop in my tracks, but don't turn around.
"If you win I'll leave you alone. If you lose you break up with Tezuka-kun." I think on it a moment although I had already made the decision.
"Are you ok with this Kunimitsu?" I ask with that look in my eye, he smirks.
"Go for it. But take this." he takes off his white button down shirt and hands it to me.
"Thanks." I say putting it on. I roll up my pants and hand my chain-link belt to him, along with my plushie. I put my hair in a high ponytail then hand him my hat.
"There I think I'm ready."
"I would like to have this match today." she says impatiently. I scowl.
"Hold on a minute!" I run over to the rack of rackets picking the best one, and then walking to my side of the court.
"This is a one set match, Shinobu is going to ref." I nod.
"Fine." I get ready.
"Atobe Kanna to serve." 'Atobe? She's that bastard's sister? I guess bitching runs in the family.' I smirk. She serves the ball and I return it easily. She runs up to the net hitting it to the opposite side but it doesn't faze me as I let her get first point.
"15-love." announces ref.
"I guess we know the outcome of this match." smirks switching her ass as if to make me angry. Its sad haw many times I've gone through this routine. I shake my head.
"Mada Mada Dane, baka." I state getting back into position. She serves again but this I return it the ball swerves round her racket. Everyone gasps. I smirk.
"I call it the 'Swerve ball.' Be lucky I figured out how to do it 2 minutes ago." I comment. She glares. This is going to be fun.
-10 Minutes Later-
"5 games to love. Challenger to serve." by now I have drawn a much larger crowd. The so called champ is getting beat out by a newcomer, so to speak. I bounce the ball a few times and throw it in the air. 'This game was pointless.' I think hitting the ball hard and fast giving me a 'Service Ace.' Kanna has lost all power and is sweating like a hog. Ewww. I have yet to even breathe hard. I serve again.
"30-love."
And again
"40-love."
I shake my head pitying her.
"I guess I could be nice." I grumble. I serve the ball underhand this time, softly. She runs to get it hitting it back successfully unfortunately it didn't make it over the net.
"Game and match challenger. 6 games to love." the crowd goes wild. I sigh replacing the racket and walk out the gate without a second glance. "Ready to go?" asks Kunimitsu. I nod as he puts the hat on my head and hands me the plushie while he holds my belt. Such a gentleman.
It is sunset when we arrive back at the mansion. I turn to Kunimitsu with a smile.
"Even with the unfortunate event that happened at the end I had a great time with you today. I saw a side of you that I didn't know you were capable of having." I comment.
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or to be insulted." I laugh.
"It's a compliment." He nods with a smile.
"Well I'm glad you had a great time." he states kissing me on the cheek.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah." I reply slowly backing to go in the house. I wave and watch him walk down the sidewalk until he is out of sight. I close the door with a dreamy sigh. 'Life is good.'
