Chapter 11

The mixed doubles tournament is starting today, all the Rikkaidai regulars gathered to finalise their chosen doubles team. Yukimura read the list carefully.

"Marui and Kiri, you will be playing against Hyotei first doubles," said Yukimura.

"What about us?" asked Misao.

"You will be playing against Shitenhouji's second doubles," stated Yukimura, "Niou, you better not lose after asking to play with Mi-chan despite your lack of teamwork together."

"Don't worry buchou, we won't lose," said Niou.

Kiri and Marui played their match first and won easily. They then proceeded to face Seigaku, they had a pretty tough time when playing against them because Kikumaru kept on moving all over the place. The score ended with 7-5 in Rikkai's favour. This resulted in them playing against Ginka Chu, which they won easily. The next two matches were just like the previous ones... they completely scared their opponents one after another until they reached the finals.

Kiri stared in surprise at their opponents who stared back at her. Marui noticed the tention between them, but he couldn't do anything about it.

As the two double pairs stood in front of the net on opposite sides, Kiri broke the silence first.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Hikaru," said Kiri.

"Same here, I thought you quit tennis Onee-chan," stated Hikaru.

"He's your brother?" Marui asked in surprise.

"Yeah, my first doubles partner, the genius, Zaizen Hikaru," she replied without looking away from her brother.

"You left our school to go to that school?" he asked.

"You're more suited for playing singles, why are you here playing doubles with Chitose-chan?" she asked, ignoring his question.

They walked to their positions and took their stance. Marui served the ball which flew in Chitose's direction. She hit the ball back and made a return ace. Kiri looked at the ball that lay on the ground and then turned to look at Chitose.

"It looks like your Yips is gone now," Kiri said with a slight smile on her face.

"It's thanks to Dorobou no nii-chan!" she said.

"Huh?" Kiri questioned.

Marui served the ball, but Hikaru managed to return it. Kiri ran quickly towards the ball and hit a very strong shot. The match progressed very slowly, after what seemed like forever, Rikkaidai won the match 7 games to 6. Marui and Kiri won the first doubles section.

~-~-~-~-~

Niou and Misao walked onto the court, all the tennis regulars could see that they were very determined. They were completely different from the first time they teamed up. Misao and Niou knew each others' moves next moves without any signal. All the Rikkai Dai members stared in shock, surprise or amazement.

"No way!" yelled Akaya.

"They did so badly during the practice, what's going on?" asked Kiri.

"They're doing even better than a normal doubles team," stated Yagyuu.

"They are able to predict each others moves and let the balls fly past them because they believe that the other will hit it back. This double's pair is built upon trust," said Yanagi.

They won their matches one after another; none of the double's 2 teams could stand up to them.

~-~-~-~-~

They had Yakiniku to celebrate the victory of their doubles teams. Somehow, they ended up playing Truth or Dare at Niou's house, nobody remembered how. That's when everyone had the shock of their lives...

The bottle pointed towards Kiri after a very long spin.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," chose Kiri.

Misao smiled sadistically, "Are you going out with someone?"

Kiri suddenly blushed at the question. "...yes," she mumbled.

"I knew it!" Misao said cheerfully.

"Really?" asked Niou.

"Who's the lucky person?" asked Akaya.

"..."

"Its fine, leave her Akaya, you'll find out soon," said Misao.

Kiri spun the bottle and it pointed towards Niou.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," he replied casually.

This time, Kiri laughed evilly, "Mi-chan, payback time!" she said, "Handcuff yourself with Mi-chan."

"Ehh? Where am I going to get that?"

Suddenly Kiri brought out a perfectly new set of handcuffs.

Everyone sweat dropped 'Where the hell did she get that?'

After forcing the two to be handcuffed together, Niou used his free hand to spin the bottle. The bottle spun for a while until it stopped, Niou smirked when he realised that it pointed towards the red haired boy.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Dare"

Niou quickly glanced at Misao who nodded, "I dare you to kiss the person you're dating."

"EHH?" beamed Akaya, "Are you dating Misao?"

Misao hit Akaya on the head.

"Marui, I never knew you were dating someone," stated Jakal.

Kiri glared at Misao who just smiled back. 'She and Niou must have planned this together'

Marui went closer to Kiri and gave her a quick peck on her lips.

"NANI?!" everyone shouted, except for Yukimura, Misao and Niou who already knew. Sanada didn't know, but he didn't shout, instead his eyes widened slightly and his jaw dropped.

"Mi-chan! How dare you tell everyone!" she yelled.

Misao ignored her and carried on laughing, but her eyes popped out when Kiri threw the handcuff key into the pool. Niou had the same expression on his face as Misao when the key dropped into the water.

"!!"
