Chapter 10

At Seigaku...

"Saa, Momoshiro, I thought I told you not to tell anyone about Avi-chan and I?" Fuji was slowly walking towards the power player with that innocent smile of his.

"Eh, seriously, Fuji-senpai, I don't know what you're talking about, I simply don't know!" For the umpteenth time, Momoshiro has been dealing with the sadistic tensai. Apparently, someone had gossip about Avi and Fuji's relationship. Although it is true that Momoshiro had nothing to do with it, he's the one being blamed for it.

"Nyaa, Fujiko, don't kill Momoshiro!" Eiji's been trying to pry the tensai off the power player.

"Eiji's right Fuji. It's the photography club who released those pictures." Oishi, the ever mother-hen intefrered.

"Saa, the what?" Fuji turned to Oishi.

"Nyaa, Oishi's telling the truth. They gave some pictures to the school newspaper staff and well, they kind of released it." Eiji defended his doubles partner.

"Momoshiro Takeshi I swear on the life of you cat you won't be able to get out of this campus without being ripped apart!" A familiar voice was shouting behind.

"Eh, it's Avi-chan! She's gonna kill me!" Momoshiro exclaimed nervously.

"Saa, Avi, it's not Momoshiro." Fuji said calmly, back to his mild demeanor.

"Huh? What do you mean? Momo's the only one, well, except for Taka to know about this." Avi said, pointing at the picture on the newspaper she was holding.

On the newspaper was Fuji almost picking a fight with Atobe and his bodyguards with Avi in the background while the other one was Fuji hugging the girl.

"Nyaa, you're so mean Fujiko. How come Taka knows about it and we don't?" Eiji pouted at the tensai.

"Seriously, who did this?" Avi said, ignoring the pouting red-head.

"Saa, Oishi said it's the photography and school newspaper club." Fuji answered.

"Alright, let's go and be sadistic to them." Avi said while grabbing Fuji's wrist, heading towards the two club's rooms.

"Saa, I didn't know you thought of me as a sadistic person, Avi." Fuji teased her with that smile of his. The tensai enjoys it when Avi gets mad or pouts at him since she looks cute when she does that.

"Well you are Syuusuke. Deal with it." Avi said plainly.

When they got to the photography club's room, Avi and Fuji stormed in.

"Kyaa! It's Fuji-kun and Avi-chan!" Some fangirls screamed outside the room. Avi quickly closed the door, annoyed by the screams.

"Saa, you're jealous!" Fuji accused her.

"Oh please! Me? I don't think so!" Avi defended herself.

"Fuji-kun, what are you doing here? Meeting will be later." A certain red-head asked.

"Saa, Mayura-kun, where did you get these?" Fuji went straight up to the point. He was holding Avi's newspaper and pointed at the pictures.

"Ah, that one. Kazuki-kun got it yesterday. He said he was at the park when he spotted you guys with the Hyotei buchou." The guy named Mayura explained carefully. The other members were just quiet since they knew that the tensai was not happy with what they did.

"Saa, where is Kazuki-san then?" Fuji asked 'politely'.

"Well, he's absent. Called and said he has flu." Mayura answered truthfully.

"Flu or he's afraid of Syuusuke?" Avi cut in.

"Saa, yes, are you sure it's flu?" Fuji doubled the pressure in Mayura's shoulders.

"That's what he said. And besides, we didn't give the pictures freely. The newspaper club saw it and asked for it." Mayura was scratching the back of his head, running out of excuses and reasons.

"Saa, then why did you give it to them? Don't you have the right to say no?" The brown-haired tensai said.

"Fine, I know that Fuji. But they were gonna blackmail us so we don't really have any choice you know." Mayura surrendered. There was no way the tensai would leave them if he doesn't tell the truth.

"Blackmail? Why in the world would the newspaper club snoop around your daily lives and have something valuable that could result into blackmail?" Avi asked, getting annoyed with the talking.

"I don't know Avi-chan. Maybe you guys should ask them, not us." The red head said.

"Fine, let's go Syuusuke!" Avi grabbed Fuji again, making their way to the newspaper club's room.

"Kyaa! Fuji-kun!" Fangirl screams again. Avi felt her head pop a vein because of all the screaming. So she was jealous, and the pressure of knowing of the whole school about them made it more annoying for her.

"Urusai! Hurry up, Syuusuke!" Avi groaned.

"Saa, you really are jealous." Another tease from the tensai.

Avi mentally groaned and kept on walking with the tensai following her.

When they got to the newspaper club's clubroom, they pretty much did what they did to the photography club members.

"Fuji-kun? What are you doing here?" The president of the newspaper club asked, surprised that the tensai of Seigaku is paying them a visit.

"Saa, I want to know why you published this?" Fuji answered with a creepy smile.

"Eh, which one? The article about the science fair or the upcoming school play?" The girl asked.

"You know what Syuusuke's talking about, this one." Avi pointed at their pictures.

"Oh, that one. Sorry about that Avi-chan, Fuji-kun." The president of the club bowed and apologized.

"So, who told you to publish it? If I'm not mistaken, we didn't gave you any permission to do this." Avi said.

"We didn't wanto to, it's just that, well-" The president looked at one of her members, a third year boy with brown hair (no that's not Tezuka). The said boy shook his head as if saying not to tell anything.

"Gomen, Fuji-kun but we can't tell you anything. If there's more you want to learn, why don't you ask Avi-chan herself." The girl bowed again and led them to the door.

When they got out, they went to the school rooftop to talk.

When they opened the door, bright sky with the sun being partially covered by the clouds greeted them. It was a nice weather, opposed to the foul mood of the two.

"Saa, what did she mean by that?" Fuji led themselves to the fence where they could view what was happening outside below.

"No idea! Now she's blaming me? You've got to be kidding. Why in the world would I want to expose my private life? Do I look like monkey guy to you?" Avi sarcastically asked Fuji.

"Saa, what's Atobe got to do with this?" Fuji smiled.

"Because monkey-guy loves to flaunt his life unlike me?" Avi laughed without humor.

"Seriously, Syuusuke, I don't know who's doing this but either he or she hates me or you or he or she just wants to play some kind of stupid prank on us." Avi concluded.

"Saa, how could you say that?" The tensai asked curiously.

"Uhm, hello on Earth to Syuusuke, it was obvious that somebody's been ordering them to do this and it's clear that they were ordered not to tell us who."

Come to think of it, the tensai knew Avi's hypothesis was making sense. That person could be holding a grudge against him or them. He suddenly thought of Mizuki, that annoying person from St. Rudolph during junior high. But no, it couldn't be since he hasn't seen him since they graduated from middle school. It could also have been the demon ace of Rikkai dai but Kirihara is actually a very good kid, not to mention polite if he's not into devil mode.

"Saa, then who could it be?" Fuji asked, whether to himself or to Avi.

"Syuusuke, are you spacing out again? You've been like that ever since monkey-guy showed up yesterday." Avi asked, her voice sounding concerned.

"Saa, gomen, Avi. I was just thinking who could it be." Fuji smiled a genuine smile in order to reassure her that he was alright.

"Well, if it's not someone who hates you, maybe someone who hates me." Avi sighed, totally frustrated that this simple problem has been bothering her.

"Saa, Renne?" Fuji asked.

Avi's head turned to look at him, her eyes showing surprise yet at the same time not surprised.

"Maybe, but why would she do that? I mean, I don't see any motive for her to do that." Avi can't believe she's actually defending that girl.

"Saa, maybe, but there's no harm in being careful. As Tezuka would have said, 'yudan sezu ni ikou'." Fuji tried his best to mimic the stoic captain.

Avi chuckled at what he did. "You know what, you're right, well at least your captain is. But please never try to do act or sound like him again. You're not fit to be like him."

"Saa, are you saying I'm not good at tennis?"

"You really can't stop teasing me can't you?" Avi said sarcastically but with a smile.

"What I mean is you're great in tennis but you're not fit to be a wooden block like him, no offense Tezuka-san." She looked like she was apologizing to nothing but thin air.

"Saa, alright, I won't." Fuji chuckled.

"Hmm, I can't believe it. Two months more and it's graduation. I'm going back to Switzerland!" Avi looked ecstatic. She's been wanting to go home ever since she first got to Japan.

"Saa, you're leaving then." Fuji maintained his smile but the tone in his voice suggested that he was sad.

"Hey, that doesn't mean I won't be coming back here. I'll always come back. I love Japan." She placed her hand on Fuji's cheek, reassuring him.

"Saa, why do you love Japan?" Fuji placed his hand on Akumi's that was touching his cheek.

Avi smiled. "Lots of reasons. The food, culture, Taka's wasabi sushi, hmm, I think I'm still missing something." Avi said teasingly.

"Saa, I think you were forgetting my name." Fuji filled in for her.

"Was I suppose to include you?" Avi asked gently.

"Saa, of course." Fuji pulled Avi for an embrace.

"Hmm, alright then. I love Japan because I love Syuusuke." Fuji chuckled. They were supposed to kiss each other when-

"Ah, anou, Ryoma-kun, ah, Fuji-senpai, Avi-san!" Sakuno exclaimed.

"Saa, Echizen, Ryuuzaki-chan." Fuji turned to them.

"Fuji-senpai. Gomen, did we disturb you?" Echizen asked with a smirk.

"As a matter of fact, yes, Echizen. Now you either continue disturbing us or I'll disturb you for the rest of your life." Avi threatened, also with a smirk that rivals the first year's.

Echizen gulped before grabbing Sakuno and exiting the door to get out of the rooftop.

"Now, Fuji-senpai, where were we?" Avi asked.

Instead of answering her, he thought it was better to show her.
