Accident Happens -11-
Prince of Tennis/TeniPuri story, EijiOC
"You looks nice today, Kumiko." Saeki said as he and Itsuki approached Kumiko who's drinking a soda.
"Arigatou, Saeki-san."
"Nee, why are you wearing a dress like that? Why do we have to wear this kind of clothes? Why? Why?"
"Atobe-san's parties are always like this, Itsuki-san, after all, they're formal parties."
"Why?"
"I don't know… Atobe-san's taste has always been like this."
"Uwa, Kumiko-chan looks so cute!" Kentaro said.
"Arigatou, Aoi-kun."
"Hey, so it's true that you're feeling better already?" Amane "Davide" said.
"Yeah, sorry for troubling you." Kumiko said as she bowed.
"Don't worry about it. We were surprised as well when we heard the news from Fuji."
"Syuu nii and Saeki-san are really close, nee."
"What can you say? We're childhood friends."
"Childhood as in Child's hood. Pfft." Kurobane said. Suddenly, Amane punched his head.
"Stop that! We're in a party so stop making jokes!"
"Maa, Davide-san…"
"Excuse us for a bit, this thing needs to be lectured outside." Amane said as he grabbed Kurobane's collar and dragged him outside.
"They never change…"
"Ah, Saeki. You're here."
"Hey there, Fuji. Oh, you're here too, Yuuta." Saeki said when he spotted the latter coming up behind Fuji.
"Ah, Saeki-san, hello." The younger Fuji greeted as he bowed.
"Hello to you too, young man." Saeki said as he ruffled Yuuta's hair.
"Syuu nii! Yuu nii!" Kumiko said as she caught the siblings in a hug.
"You look nice today, Kumiko." Yuuta praised.
"Arigatou, Atobe-san gave me this dress and told me to wear it today."
"Eh? Atobe-san did?"
"Un. Ah, speaking of the devil."
"Ah, you look really nice today, Kumiko." Atobe said.
"Arigatou, Atobe-san."
"It's surprising how Jiro could have a taste on women's dress."
"Eh? Jiro-san did?"
"Surprising indeed." Oshitari said.
"Uwa, Oshitari-san! You surprised me!" Kumiko said as she hid behind Yuuta.
"Well, well, the dress is like it was made for you, Kumiko-san."
"Pervert…" Kumiko whispered so that only Fuji and Yuuta would hear.
"Hey, Kumiko, I think I saw Tachibana's little sister somewhere." Fuji said.
"Arigatou, Syuu nii!" Kumiko said as she slipped away from the group.
"Nice going, Oshitari…"
"Hey, what did I do?"
"Ann-chan!" Kumiko called the said girl who's talking to her brother.
"Kumiko-chan! You look great!"
"So are you!"
"I see you've gotten better." Tachibana said.
"Thank you for everything, Tachibana-san. Sorry to make you guys worried."
"But you're still limping, Kumiko-chan…"
"Oh, this is because I had accidentally sprain my ankle few days ago when I chased Marui-senpai."
"Already up and running? You should take good care of yourself."
"I will, thank you."
"You look desperate when you're coming here, something happened?"
"No… just felt weird when Oshitari-san came."
"Ah…"
"Ann-chan! Tachibana-san! Kumiko!" Kamio called as he, Shinji and Ishida approached the three.
"Good evening, Kamio-san, Shinji-san, Ishida-san." Kumiko said as she bowed.
"Well, you're looking good today." Kamio said.
"Kumiko-san looks nice, I wonder where did she got that dress. Probably she bought it specially for the party…" Shinji mumbled.
"W-Well… Atobe-san and his team bought this dress for me. I was surprised how nice the dress was as well. I just don't feel right wearing it."
"Don't be. You look great."
"Thank you, Ishida-san."
"Ku~mi-chan!" Eiji said as he jumped on Kumiko.
"Ack! Eiji-kun!"
"Well then, we'll be leaving you two alone." Ann-chan giggled as she pushed her brother and his team away.
"Mou, Eiji-kun!"
"Ah, gomen gomen!"
"Demo nee, Eiji-kun, you looks great!"
"Kumi-chan too! You look so cute!" Eiji said as he crushed Kumiko in his embrace.
"You're choking me, Eiji-kun!" Suddenly, Kumiko slipped out from his grip and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Zannen munen mata raishu!" Kumiko said as she ran away.
"Ah, Kumi-chan!"
"Well, I manage to slip away. So… hmm…"
"Running away from poor Eiji?"
"Ah, Ooishi-senpai."
"You know that he'll be complaining to Fuji now, right?"
"Mou~"
"But I guess I should've told him not to jump on you so much."
"Te hee~ I just wanted to wander alone. Atobe-san's mansion is so big!"
"Oh no you won't, young lady. You are not permitted to get out from the room." Ooishi said as he tickled her.
"O-Ooishi-senpai! No! Ahahaha!"
"Ah, Ooishi-senpai is hogging Kumiko-chan!" Momo said.
"Agh! Momo-senpai!"
"Mada mada dane."
"Not you too, Echizen-kun!"
"Ara, what a lively bunch." Hanamura, the Josei Shonan's teacher said. Then Kumiko stop moving and glared at Hanamura.
"Kumiko." Ooishi scolded when he saw Kumiko's sharp glare to Hanamura.
"My my, did I do something for you to hate me?"
"Yes." Kumiko sharply said.
"May I know what?"
"Don't even think I didn't know it… you told that doubles partner to turn their attention to Oosihi-senpai… I'm leaving."
"Excuse her, sensei. Kumiko never let her grudge away easily." Oosihi said as he, Echizen and Momoshiro left Hanamura alone.
"Too bad… she would've made a great masterpiece." (Now do you see why Kumiko and I hate her?)
"Get away from me, Sengoku-san!" Kumiko yelped when Sengoku chased her.
"Aww, you're so cute!"
"Sengoku-senpai!" Dan gasped when he saw Sengoku chasing Kumiko. Suddenly, Sengoku's head smashed against Akutsu's arm.
"You're a nuisance."
"Thank you very much, Akutsu-san." Kumiko said as she bowed.
"A… Sengoku-senpai…"
"I'm… unlucky today…" Sengoku said as his eyes swirls round.
"He's alive, right?" Kumiko said as she poked him with her foot.
"Stupid Sengoku."
"Ah, I'll be bringing cookies again sometimes."
"Thank you very much desu."
"Seemed like Yamabuki's Sengoku will never change." Akazawa said.
"Da ne." Yanagisawa said.
"Akazawa-san!"
"Well, you're looking good tonight."
"Thank you."
"Too bad you got a boyfriend already, da ne."
"Duck duck!"
"What did you call me?!"
"Hmm, looks like Atsushi-san is talking to Ryou-san." Kumiko said when she spotted the twins from a distance.
"Nice eyes."
"And I'm proud of it!"
"Well then, would you do me a favour to go to our tennis club?" Mizuki said.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. Rikkai is my family and I will never leave them." Kumiko said as she stuck out her tongue at Mizuki.
"I see, that's too bad."
"Ah, Yuu nii! Syuu nii! Eiji-kun!" Kumiko ignored Mizuki as she ran towards the said people.
"Well, it's your own fault for getting on her dark side, Mizuki."
"Hmph, such insolence!"
"Ah, Kumiko-san, was it?" Kite said.
"Ah, Kite-san, and the rest of Higa too. You guys came."
"Well, it's partially our fault that your recovery took a bit longer. We apologize for that." Hirakoba said.
"Oh, it's alright. I'm beginning to get the hang of it."
"Is that Tanishi-san, Hiroshi-san and Kai-san I saw at the buffet table?"
"I warned them not to eat too much!" Kite said as he quickly walked towards the trio.
"Excuse us."
"Oh, it's alright. But Tanishi-san sure eats a lot…"
"Well, with that big body of his. Oh, better go, your brother's looking at me." Rin said as he ran away.
"Mou, onii-chan, haven't I told you not to always glare at who I'm talking with?" Kumiko said to Tezuka who's hovering behind her.
"…"
"Come on onii-chan, let's eat!" Kumiko said as she pulled Tezuka's hand towards the buffet table.
"Look at that, Yuuta." Fuji said as he looked at Kumiko who's laughing and eating with Tezuka.
"Hm? Kumiko and Tezuka-san? Why?"
"It's been a while since I last saw Tezuka having fun like that."
"… Tezuka-san is having fun…?!"
"Think about it, both of them are busy with tennis so they only get to see each other at home. They could only spend time with each other when it's holiday. And with Tezuka's absence to Germany before, she must've been very lonely, even if Eiji's been with her the whole time."
"Now that you say it, aniki…"
"Hm?"
"Before Kumiko's accident, I heard that she's been spending time challenging the player who came by to the street tennis court. She must've been frustrated after the accident."
"Well, that's why Tezuka and we are here for right? Cheering her up, we've seen enough of her brooding as it is."
"Yeah, Kumiko's scar is hard to heal. And most of all, she easily gets angry."
"Well, ever since Eiji's been spending time with her, she's starting to change. But to be in Rikkai, she has seen lots of things she doesn't easily cope with."
"Kikumaru-san have been doing a good job cheering her up, oh there he is." Yuuta said when he saw Eiji once more jumped on Kumiko with Ooishi trying to pry him off.
"Well, Eiji's hard to be erased from someone's life, with his mood making ability like that."
"Yeah."
"Didn't you know, Yuuta?"
"Know what, aniki?"
"When I first saw Kumiko, she is just like Eiji, perhaps she's even more jumpy."
"Really? Though I can imagine her being jumpier than she already is."
"But Kumiko's encounter with that accident with such a young age had made her mature a little. Ever since Tezuka's accident, she hasn't been visiting for a while. Tezuka had said that she wouldn't stop having nightmares about it. Poor girl."
"Eh… I never knew." Yuuta said.
"It's cute how she kept asking us 'isn't tennis fun?' over and over again. Every time she visits us, she would be there staring from outside with those sparkling eyes of hers. And every time, she would always ask someone to play with her. It's surprising how she would play for only one game and she won every time. Tezuka was really proud of her, and still is."
"Yeah, when I transferred to St. Rudolph, she would always try to sneak in and watch me play. And try to step on Mizuki-san's foot every time she sees him."
"Well, what can you say? Kumiko's protective of the ones she considered a family."
"I was surprised she knew Akazawa-senpai and Kaneda-senpai. I guess that's why she's been able to sneak in."
"She gets lost easily, but every time she gets lost she would end up at a tennis court somewhere. That's when they decided to give Kumiko a phone so she'd be able to call to ask for direction." Fuji said as he chuckles.
"Hee, so that's how she met all those people."
"Everyone was drawn to her because of her sunny and perky self, just like how Eiji warms up easily to people. Even Atobe looks at her like his own sister."
"Wow, even Akazawa-senpai wouldn't let his tantrum out when she's there. It's amazing how she could change the atmosphere just by one gesture."
"Syuu nii! Yuu nii! Come on! Let's eat together!" Kumiko called.
"Well, she's calling, better go."
"Yeah, aniki."
"Kumi-chan, come on, the music's starting!"
"Eiji-kun! Not too fast! I'm dizzy!"
"O-Oi! Eiji!"
"Fufu…"
"Aniki… why are you laughing?"
"It's just interesting, seeing both of them childishly ran around together. Isn't that right, Tezuka?"
"… Tezuka-san… your atmosphere is…"
"Don't worry Yuuta, he's just being overprotective again."
"Over… protective?"
"Yep, that's how he is."
"I-I see…"
"Fuji."
"Maa, Tezuka, no need to be so tense."
"…"
'T-This is bad… I better get away'
"Yuuta, where are you going?"
"Ack…"
