A Visit to Various Schools
Disclaimer: Don't you all wish I owned prince of tennis? Well too bad I don't.
Chapter 11: Epilogue
It was another beautiful morning as usual as the sun shone brightly down on the tennis courts of Seishun Gakuen. But on the streets of Tokyo, Kentarou was still chasing after a tired Ryoma with the rest of Rokkaku following close behind
"Come back here you little bastard! I haven't finished propsing to you yet!"
"You are so gross, buchou! There is no way I will ever marry a pervert like you!" called Ryoma.
Unfortunately, Fuji appeared out of nowhere behind a bush and dragged Ryoma inside.
"Fuji-sempai? What…." But he couldn't finish that sentence as Fuji covered his mouth.
"Ryo-chan, what's this I heard about you not marrying Kentarou? You just defeated him in tennis. Well, allow me to fix your problem in a more fashionable way. And congratulations on passing my test." Smirked Fuji as he took out his phone and dialed in a random number.
"Hello, Kiyosumi-san, are you there?"
Ryoma was about to throw away that phone, but Fuji pressed his hand against the boy's face, preventing him from taking the phone.
"Hello to you too Fuji-sempai. What can I help you with today?"
"Well, it seems that the pervert from Rokkaku still hasn't given up on chasing our beloved Echizen since he refused to accept Kentarou's proposal. Would you do the honor of marrying him one last time? We shall meet up inside the tennis courts at Seigaku."
"Of course Fuji! I will be there in fifteen minutes!" said Sengoku as the line went dead.
"You did not just invite Sengoku and the rest of Yamabuki into Seigaku, did you?" said Ryoma indignantly.
"Of course I did. And ignore any distractions from other schools. You belong to me and Kentarou because as the overprotective mother, I have to look out for your best interests at heart."
"Why would you do that? And did you contact everyone else on my phone and told them about my love life?"
Just then, the hyotei regulars heard about what Fuji said while Atobe rushed in towards the gates to make his move.
"Excuse me, but only I can look out for that brat's best interest, Fuji." Boasted Atobe.
But Fuji simply ignored Atobe as he went over and opened the door for the Rikkai team.
"Kunimitsu, did your so called lover ignore me?" shouted Keigo.
"Don't look at me, Keigo. Fuji orchestrated the whole thing, not me. And Fuji is not my lover."
"Of course we are, Tezuka-san." Said Fuji sweetly as he opened his eyes before turning his attention towards the Hyotei captain. "And I mentioned this before, Keigo. I was told not to let you take my darling wife away from me since you are an unpleasant distraction that must be ignored."
Keigo fumed while everyone else stared at the evilly smirking fuji for a moment before Tezuka led his rival towards the clubhouse. Well, what did you expect? Fuji Syuusuke is scary.
"Ryoma-san, are you all right? I hope Fuji didn't rough you up too much in there." Said Kamio as he grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off Ryoma's face. "And is Fuji always like this towards other tennis players?"
"Unfotunately, yes. And I'm all right, but I am tired of being chased by that pervert Kentarou. Can anyone of you guys stop him and end this madness already?" protested Ryoma.
"Sorry Echizen, I can't do anything. Fuji will definitely give me torment if I try to help you." Replied Momo with a look of disgust on his face.
"And even if we tried to interfere, Yukimura-buchou will make us run laps." Groaned Akaya.
"What are you all afraid of? I thought you were so "protective" of your little freshman." Said Yuushi.
No one else responded to that question.
A few minutes later, the Yamabuki team arrived at Seigaku and rang the bell to the gates. Luckily, Tezuka opened it and greeted the team, but not before Sengoku charged right in and started shouting.
"ECHIZEN-KUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Where are you my darling?"
Howls of laughter were heard from Shitenhouji and Rikkaidai while Ryoma blushed furiously behind a tree.
"I am not here right now! I've been out sick with a cold." Said Ryoma. But that excuse didn't even get past Yukimura as he walked right over and dragged the sulking tennis prodigy out and right onto a bench.
"Ryo-baby, lying to your sempais is a great sin. And you are being very naughty right now." Said Yukimura with a dangerous glee coming from his face.
"You are working directly with Fuji, aren't you? I knew you were evil but how could you sink that low to consort with Fuji?"
"Fuji-sempai and I are best friends. We like to torment our teammates any way possible."
Ryoma just sighed.
"There you are, my beloved darling! I was wondering where you were. Come here and give your sempai a kiss." Said Sengoku cheerfully as he placated himself directly onto the freshman.
"So you are stalking me now?" mused Ryoma. "And here I thought you couldn't get any more annoying than before. Have you flooded my phone with your sexist messages?"
"Echizen-san, I think it's best if you do as he says." Said Choutarou nervously.
"The silver haired kid from Hyotei is right. You didn't think I would let your phone go home empty handed, did you?" continued Sengoku.
"Somehow, I just wished I never gave out my phone number." Sighed Ryoma.
"Well, too bad Ryo-baby. Your phone number is crucial to all of us since we need to keep track of your whereabouts. Besides, why ignore phone messages from your friends when we can keep in touch?"
"You are so annoying, Fuji-sempai."
"So, that little yarou has been pestered by his sempai again. Luckily he doesn't have my phone number or else I would be the first to pound some sense into someone for giving it out without my permission. Why are the rest of the schools here in Seigaku anyway? They don't even go to Ryoma's school and I don't remember ever being invited here. Are they hosting some sort of a kissing event?" said Shinji.
"Kamio-sempai, does Ibu-sempai always mutter to himself on a daily basis?" whispered Ryoma.
"Yup, it's been constantly happening in school, especially when we are together in class. Frankly, I wanted to change classes immediately, but that wouldn't help anything. Even my own teacher forced me to wear one of her noise cancellation headphones during class." Sighed Kamio.
"Oh Rhythm-kun! You really are cute. I wanted to come here so that I can have a little rematch with you in order to find out which one of us can make Ryoma our lover. I understand you didn't want to be here, but I wanted to return the headphones that I borrowed from you the other day. Lucky for me! Anyway, want to have a match?" asked Sengoku.
Kamio was twitching uncontrollably as he stood as far away as he could from Sengoku to avoid a confrontation. He was grasping onto both Ryoma and Momo's arms tightly while trying not to run like a coward.
"What the hell have I done to deserve this?" muttered Kamio.
Ryoma and Momo both soothed the speedster's back gently while telling him to remove Sengoku's phone number after this is over.
"So, it seems that Ryoma has passed the test?" asked Manami-buchou of Yamabuki as he walked towards Eiji. "I guess my little subordinate has gotten used to being stalked by Sengoku?"
"You could say that. In fact Ochibi has been all over the place with other students of various schools since we all seem to care a great deal about him. I guess a few more lovers and brothers couldn't hurt."
"I see. So when is the kissing booth going to start?"
Eiji just shrugged.
"Hey you are tall dark and handsome!" said Amane towards one of the Hyotei tennis members, whom
looked at the weirdo with disgust as he walked away.
"Hey cap boy, come on and share a few jokes with me!" continued Amane as he moved onto the next Hyotei regular named Shishido.
"I don't want to share any lame jokes with you, dumbass." Said Shishido as he pushed the Rokkaku joker aside before grabbing his doubles partner and dashed towards the tennis courts.
"You must be grumpy looking, gorilla man! Want to have a match with me?" said Amane as he looked at the Rikkai regular with the black cap.
"His name is not gorilla man you good for nothing weirdo!" shouted Akaya as he came to Sanada's defense. "Why I would have half the mind to beat the fucking daylights out of you!"
"Language Akaya. And please refrain from using violence while in Seigaku. We don't want casualties strewn all over the tennis courts." Suggested Yagyuu.
"Gomen, Yagyuu-sempai. But that joke from Amane was so not funny! He insulted the fukubuchou of our school!" whined Akaya.
"Oh I am sure his boyfriend Yukimura can handle this." Stated Marui.
More laughter could be heard from Seigaku as Sanada blushed furiously. Why are they picking on him?
Somewhere inside the clubroom…
So, Kunimitsu. I guess your little freshman brat passed with flying colors, didn't he?" said Atobe.
"Yup, but I am going to have to punish Fuji for taking Ryoma's phone number and spreading it towards other schools." Stated Tezuka. "In the meantime, what brings you to Seigaku?"
"Well, if you must know, I like to see you more often because you are my confidante, my trusted rival, and most of all, my close friend and brother. It's not wrong for a beautiful guy like me to come visit you every so often, ahn?" boasted Keigo.
Tezuka just smirked. He knew that his rival couldn't be sent away that easily. He then poured a cup of jasmine tea for Keigo as the chat continued.
"I see. But even though my trip to Germany was uneventful, I feel homesick because I haven't been back to Japan in a while. The moment I leave for rehab, my school goes into utter chaos unless I can keep it under control. Sometimes I wonder if you have the capabilities of taking over my role as buchou while I'm away?"
"Hey, anything for a friend. After all, I've kept those plebians in line during the U17 camp so of course I can handle any problems your school might have. Luckily, my assistant Yuushi has helped me greatly ever since you went to Germany and he has given that brat some advice on relationships." Continued Keigo.
"That's nice. But just keep Ryoma away from Fuji-sempai. You have no idea what he could conjure up next. Furthermore, I am not married to Fuji because he is not my wife."
"So, the rumors about that are true, ahn? I can see why Fuji has been constantly stalking and harassing my bratty boyfriend since he can't seem to shake off the sadist. Well, I am going to have to start taking drastic measures by any means necessary."
Tezuka wondered what Keigo was planning as they continued sipping tea.
Back on the courts, Hiyoshi was busy hitting a tennis ball at the wall when someone tapped him on the back.
"What do you want, Wakato?"
"My, how did you know it was me?" asked Wakato with a surprised look.
"I have my sources at Hyotei. If you are here to challenge me to a match, that's fine. But if you are stalking me…."
But Hiyoshi never got to finish what he was saying as a group of girls started flocking around the Gekokujyou specialist.
"OH MY GOD! Wakashi-Kun is so hot!" Shouted one of the girls.
"Go on a date with me, cute boy!" shouted another girl.
Hiyoshi was blushing with fury as he ran off. "Leave me alone! I don't want to get involved with romance right now!"
The girls screamed with delight as they continued chasing after Hiyoshi. His eyes were stinging with tears while Oishi and Inui sweatdropped.
"Yuushi-sempai, do you have something to do with this?" asked the mother hen.
"Don't look at me." Shrugged Yuushi.
Mukahi only laughed as he walked up to his doubles partner and high fived him. "That should keep our ladies man occupied for a while. We will show Fuji what our tennis specialist can do in the romance department."
"I HEARD THAT! GET THESE GIRLS AWAY FROM ME!" yelled Hiyoshi.
"Sorry, mushroom head. But I'm afraid we can't help you here. You are always lonely without anyone to talk to so you should thank me for getting the girls to join you." Smirked Oshitari as he pointed at Hiyoshi.
Laughter could be heard from Ryoma and Momo. Unfortunately for Shishido, he was going to vomit.
"Sometimes I want to be in a place where there are no perverts around. Let's find a peaceful place to practice tennis, Choutarou."
"Hai!"
Elsewhere the Kisarazu twins met face to face while avoiding the mass chaos of chattering boys.
"I missed you."
"Me too bro."
"You should come home more often. Mom and dad are thinking about you."
"I couldn't agree more."
"Atsushi-sempai da ne!" exclaimed Yanagisawa as he ran over to his friend's side and observed his twin. "Who is this cutie you are talking to da me? Introduce me to her."
"Nii-san." Said Ryou. "Who is that guy with the mouth of a duck?"
"He's my teammate." Responded Atsushi.
"Want me to beat him up with a tennis ball?"
Yanagisawa's eyes widened.
"Please refrain from killing my teammate, Ryou."
"I will be gentle with him."
"A ten second head start will be okay for you?"
"Thanks."
Yanagisawa was running now. He couldn't stand scary siblings in tennis, especially Mizuki.
As for Sanada, he and Yukimura walked into the courts with the rest of his team in tow when two regulars from Rokkaku showed up. "Are you Sanada Genichirou from Rikkai dai? We want to know if you are really going to date Yukimura and marry him later on."
Yukimura could only chuckle while Sanada sent death glares at Niou and marui for spreading the ridiculous love and marriage rumor.
"How is that any of your business?" quipped Sanada to the boys in red, thereby scaring them away.
"You know, if Yukimura really married Sanada and adopted Ryoma, they would be a big family."
"How so?' asked Niou.
"Sanada becomes the father, Yukimura is the mother and Ryoma will become their son. As for Kirihara, he could be Ryoma's long lost brother."
"What about Jackal?"
"I guess he could be the boy's butler." Stated marui with a nod.
"Seriously?"
"Yanagi should be the boy's uncle and teach him how to enjoy drinks rich in high fiber and vitamins."
"What about me and Yagyuu?" asked Niou.
"How about the weird couple that lives next to Echizen Nanjirou, the famous tennis master? Maybe you could harass him so that he can play more matches with us."
"You have a crazy imagination." Said Niou flatly.
As Inui observed the boys in the tennis courts, notebook in hand, and watched everyone chattering chaotically. He muttered to himself. "I wonder how everyone started to find out about our freshman."
He continued to make his rounds when he spotted his assistant wearing the Rikkai jersey. "Yanagi-san?"
"It's so good to see you again, boss." Said Yanagi as he walked over to Inui with Kirihara clinging to his arm. "I forgot that this is still Seigaku with other teams running like wild monkeys."
"Same here." smiled Inui as he shook his friend's hand. Unfortunately, Akaya had to break the two boys apart.
"Not so fast, Frankenstein. You beat my Yanagi-sempai."
"Looks like seaweed head is very protective of you."
"Yes, he is loyal, isn't he?" said Yanagi without blinking.
"You know, Fuji is over there stalking Ryoma again and wants to use him to participate in a kissing booth." Said Inui while trailing off.
"That's it. No one kisses my rival without answering me in a tennis match. I am going to challenge Fuji myself if I have to." Said Akaya as he unlatched himself from Renji's arms and grabbed his tennis racket before running off.
"Akaya! Get back here! You can't just start challenging people to a tennis match without permission from Sanada!" caked Jackal.
"It seems you got your hands full at Rikkai now." Said Inui as he slowly adjusted his glasses. "I would like to visit again soon in order to conjure a new recipe up for my teammates later on."
"Of course, you are always welcome to visit." Replied Yanagi. He then glanced around and saw Kawamura waving after Kaidoh and Momo with his racket in hand.
"So is this supposed to be an exhibition match or a petting zoo?"
While Fuji was busy trying to put random dresses on Ryoma, whom steadfastly refused. Mizuki was scanning the school until he spotted his rival. He then walked over to the sadist and started chatting. "So, my rival is here at last. "Now…"
"Yuuta-chan! I didn't know you were coming to see me so soon." Said Fuji with a look of delight while ignoring the fuming Mizuki.
"Actually, I have no idea why I ended up coming here." Muttered Yuuta. "And are you still trying to torment your freshman into wearing dresses again? Why the hell is everyone else here? I thought you guys were going to have an exhibition match with Rokkaku or Hyotei."
"Unfortunately, practice was cancelled and the coach decided to host this special event with Ryoma being our star attraction today." Said the blue-eyed boy cheerfully. "By the way, you look ravishingly cute today, yuuta-chan."
"Aniki, please stop called me that!" groaned Yuuta. "You are embarrassing me in front of other schools! Won't your so called husband number two get angry at you?"
"What's this? One of my best friends is getting married to a captain of another school and I don't hear a thing about it?" grinned Saeki. "are you getting tired of abusing Yuuta already?"
"I would never stop doing that." Grinned Fuji. "Yuuta and Ryoma make a great couple and my wife is taking things too seriously."
"ANIKI!" bellowed Yuuta, "STOP IT!"
"The day I marry you is the day you tire yourself out with 600 laps." Yelled Tezuka from the clubhouse.
"Excellent idea." Piped Saeki as he held a finger up. "Now you have plans to let three wives live in your house at the same time, Fuji."
"That's what I am planning to do." Agreed Fuji.
Yuuta's eyes were twitching. He was beginning to get upset as he muttered. "Sometimes I just want to leave the family and stay with Echizen. Honestly, Fuji likes to scare the crap out of me sometimes."
"What was that, Yuuta?"
"I think he is agreeing to the marriage and kissing."
"I… I said no such thing, Saeki-San!"
"What is up with everyone getting married and having to kiss each other?" thought yagyuu as he walked over to where Ryoma was sitting and joined him. "Do you have something to do with this?"
"No, sempai. I was just picked at random by my crazy coach, used as a puppet by that sadist, and now everyone thinks I am gay, which I am not."
"Huh… That's not what I've heard from yukimura and Tachibana. It seems that you have been hit with bad luck."
"Yeah, I know. I just want this whole shit storm to be over!" groaned Ryoma.
Unfortunately for Ryoma, he was being embraced all of a sudden by the captain of Rokkaku once again. "I knew I find you here eventually, Echizen-kun! So what say you, want to play tennis again?"
"No thanks, I just want some peace and quiet."
"Aw, come on!" whined Aoi. "Just one match?"
Echizen twitched.
"You are going to play right? Please say yes! I just wanted to see how strong you really are because I have been having dreams about you going into the world cup. Please let me play you?"
Echizen twitched again.
"Echizen-kun! I didn't know you had so many people coming here to kiss you again." Yelled Aoi cheerfully. "Are you having a party later on in your house?"
Echizen vein popped as he got up and threw the empty can of ponta from a distance, it landed into the garbage can without falling. He then ran out of the courts as calmly as possible without having to hear the annoying Rokkaku captain bitching and moaning. He then started shouting at the top of his lungs,
"SOMETIMES I JUST WANT SOME PEACE AND QUIET! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?"
The scream caused most of the students to jump in fear while Tezuka and Atobe were busy reading a magazine in the clubroom.
"Do you want to deal with those annoying plebians?"
"Nah, I think you can handle those whining assholes better than I can."
Near the school yard, Wakato and Kajimoto were talking amongst themselves.
"So why did you want me to crossdress again?"
"it's a special hobby of mine that I like to do at home." Said Kajimoto. "Meeting Echizen has helped me to understand what it means to be a girl."
"Are you thinking of marrying Ryoma?" continued Wakato. "It doesn't seem you have the legs to walk Ryoma's hands down at the altar."
"Shut up."
Outside of the tennis courts, Shishido and Ohtori were trying their best to play a simple match, but it proved difficult with all the screaming from random students. Everything wasn't normal here and it was beginning to piss the dash specialist off.
"That does it!" exclaimed Shishido as he nearly threw his racquet on the ground. "Why the fuck are we here anyway!? There is NO ONE playing tennis here! And Atobe and his ingenious plan. "Oh let's go visit Tezuka so that I can have sex with him and spend time with my precious little brat." He imitated. ,
"I feel for you, Shishido-sempai." said a voice from behind the tree.
"Echizen-kun? Why are you behind the tree?" asked Choutaro.
"I was trying to run away from that annoying pest Aoi Kentarou. Believe me, I didn't even want this kissing even to happen today as everything is getting disorganized. Frankly, my captain is busy sipping pina coladas with the Monkey King while I am left to fend for myself."
"I see, well come and join us, why don't you." Said Choutarou with a smile as he ran up and slowly pulled Ryoma closer to him. "I know things are a bit hectic, but I think Atobe will get things situated as soon as possible."
Ryoma breathed a sigh of relief while Shishido looked on in disbelief. If it were up to him, he would have kicked the freshman out in an instant. "I guess you are able to resolve things a lot quicker than I would have expected. You really are shrewder than I first thought."
"Thank you, shishido-san."
Some random Seigaku student whistled at them while writing, "Shishido and Choutaro sitting in a tree, K-i-s-s-i-n-g!"
Ryoma grabbed one of the tennis balls and flung it at the random student, knocking him out in the process. How dare he interrupt their precious moment!
"Why did you have to do that for us anyway? I could have taken him out easily!" said Shishido.
"No need, sempai. After all, I didn't want to deal with annoying pests that keep pestering us about relationships. It's none of their business." Said Ryoma proudly.
The silver pair looked at each other and nodded. "I guess that will work."
Ryoma just smiled at them.
Yup, Kurobane was definitely lost.
"It's impressive to see Seigaku and all the other schools here. I almost forgot where we were earlier. Still though, Aoi wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to see Echizen again."
"Really." Agreed Amane. "Love is in the air for us. Pfft."
Amane was kicked in the head once again.
Kamio was beginning to lose his patience by the time he saw Tachibana and An approaching him, staring at him with awkward expressions. His face was turning a shade of red that matched his hair while Sengoku and Shinji continued their rambling. They were still not releasing Rhythm boy anytime soon.
"Tachibana-san, An-chan, please save me from these two mindless zombies!"
"But Kamio-kun, you are so popular. We can't resist you." Giggled An.
"Kamio belongs to me and only me." Muttered Shinji. "You have no right to steal him from me, Mr. happy-go-lucky guy. God, when is he going to leave? He has no business being here and all he says is that Kamio's cute or Kamio is cuddly."
"I just like to share your cute little boyfriend." Grinned Sengoku. "Besides, Ryoma-chan didn't seem to mind being cuddled by me. I am sure that there is love at first sight for him and Kamio here. Besides, its' better to let Kamio and Ryoma start dating now. Lucky!"
Tachibana had the urge to laugh as he stepped away from the perverted Lucky tennis player. "Okay, I will leave you guys alone now. Please let me know how your date goes with Echizen."
"Tachibana-san! How could you do this to me!?" wailed Kamio.
After the tea ceremony, Tezuka and Atobe walked out of the clubroom and discovered that all the players were causing massive delay in tennis practice. Not only were his carefully laid-out plans were destroyed, the courts are turning into a chaotic horde of middle school boys. Both were extremely pissed off at the sight of the boys crowding through the clubroom door.
"WHAT IN THE BLOODY RUCKUS ARE YOU ALL DOING!?" roared Atobe.
"Hey everyone!" called out some random person. "Inui looks sexy without glasses on."
"I am not wearing pants." Came the random response.
"I leave you all alone for 20 minutes and look what you all did. Everyone run seven hundred laps, NOW!" shouted Tezuka.
That shook everyone to the core. How they all heard him and managed to crowd through the school grounds was a complete mystery. However no one would stay behind to provoke the Seigaku captain's anger. Unfortunately, only half of the whole school complied while the other half barely moved.
"Well, are you bloody plebians going to stand there all day or do I need to start assigning you all racquet swings?" ordered Atobe. "Get your asses moving!"
"What about me? Aren't you all supposed to kiss me for a job well done?" asked Ryoma.
"Later, brat! We need to get these weaklings into shape!" replied Atobe.
Everyone started running without uttering another word, except for Yuushi and Fuji.
"Looks like Atobe and Tezuka are ready to spread their love life for Ryoma now." Whispered Fuji.
"They are both gods. We best not to anger them." Agreed Yuushi.
Just then a message from Echizen Ryoma was sent directly towards Atobe's phone.
"Mada Mada Da ne."
Message from: Atobe Keigo
"Brat! Is that all you have to say? We will just see how you feel after you pass my test."
Message from: Tezuka Kunimitsu
"Echizen, run your laps first!"
Message from: Sanada Genichirou
"Echizen, do you need me to beat up Aoi for you?"
Message from: Yukimura Seiichi
"Ryo-baby, congratulations on visiting all the schools."
Message from: Fuji Syuusuke
"Ryo-chan, I have one more test for you: Kiss me now!
Message from: Aoi Kentarou
"Echizen-Kun! Marry me!"
Ryoma blinked at all the messages and sighed. Why was he always getting stalked and picked on? He was glad to have extra services on his phone. But those other phone numbers from random schools, were they really necessary? Although he never came up with a plan to get rid of kentarou, he still has ways of making his sempais miserable, especially Fuji.
"You might have won this round Fuji, but I will find a way to defeat you!" thought Ryoma to himself as he ran his laps.
Author's Notes: More boring rikkai stuff and so much funny comedy. But this took some time to do! On the bright side, this novel is finally finished! Of course, with all the pain and suffering I had to go through and maybe I did go a bit overboard with the characters. But seven hundred laps? That would really put a lot of pain in the legs. Oh well, the captains will always prevail in the end.
I know I missed out on the twins from Josei Shonan, but I didn't want to keep dragging this chapter onward. But the point is, this humorous romance fic is done for good. I can't believe it went this far.
Thank you all for reading! And make sure you keep supporting me and commenting! Happy New Year to you all!
