jychan: I don't own Prince Of Tennis no matter how hard I want to be!!! Unfair!.. LOL...

14. Certain Revelation To Oishi

It has been days since Seiichi-kun and his team, The Rikkai Dai Tennis Club Regulars, went here in Tokyo, wherein I gave them a small tour all over the place. It was fun, in my opinion and hopefully, they liked it. But, I'm sure they liked it, since they were all smiling when I sent them off from the bus station, especially Seiichi-kun...

Seiichi-kun...

It seems my cheeks are going hot once again.

But I wonder why I feel this way whenever I think or see him and also, Fuji-senpai...

I sighed and looked at the windows while sensei was discussing in front about Linear Equations and such.

Ughhhh... I really don't do well with Math.

"Tezuka-chan, please tell me what x is equal to."

I stood up as I heard my name being called. I swallowed and said, "X, sensei?" I asked,

"Hai. X. The equations are on the board."

Seriously. This sensei is torturing me... Ughhh!!! Hmmmmm... Nonetheless,

if x + y = 15 and y=x+3 then,

x+x+3=15

2x=12

x=6

6+6+3=15

12+3=15

15=15

"X is equal to 6." I replied, hoping my answer to be correct... Please...

"Correct."

I sighed in relief and sat down on my chair, waiting for the almight bell to ring... I want to go out of this class already. Math bores me so much. I wonder how people,especially Mathematicians stand it...

I looked at Kaidoh and Momo who were just sighing and not paying attention to the teacher. I attempted to chuckle, but I can't, or else, I'll be dead meat in detention...

"Kami..." I muttered as I continued on waiting for the bell to ring, signalling the end of classes.

Normal POV

Classes ended a little later and Kumiko rushed to the courts. Seeing nobody was there yet, she sighed in relief.

"Good. Now, I can still change."

She went to the comfort room and opened a cubicle, unluckily, seeing Fuji who was still shirtless,

"Eh? Tezuka-chan?"

"Fu-Fuji-senpai? Go-Gomen!" Kumiko sputtered out as she closed the cubicle room while blushing madly,

She tried to calm down herself especially her blush and soon, she managed to calm down herself and she proceeded to the courts where she sat down on the benches.

"Ah, Tezuka-chan, it seems you're early nyaa!" Eiji said as he glomped on Kumiko,

"Can't... breathe...Eiji-senpai!" Kumiko said,

"Eiji, please release her. It seems she's suffocating already." Oishi said as he went near to the other half of the Golden Pair,

"Ah! Gomen Tezuka-chan!" Eiji said as he excused himself,

And soon, the non-regulars and some regulars arrived to the courts, wherein Tezuka had announced that regulars would do 20 laps at once. Luckily, for Kumiko, it seems her brother forgot about her. Well, the regulars were a bit of slacking off in their laps in which, made Inui introduce a new drink or formula of his infamous Inui Juice: The Uno Kanzou.

"Uno Kanzou? Then, you mean it's made from the Number 1 liquorice then. Uno is the Spanish for 1, and then Kanzou is liquorice. Then, you can pass it for nihonshu, then." Kumiko implied,

And then, the unlucky person to drink Uno Kanzou was decided: Momoshiro Takeshi, who drank the Uno Kanzou, since he heard of what Kumiko implied, but then later, vomited the drink and rushed to the water fountain.

"Ieee. Wrong. Uno Kanzou. Uo no Kanzou. Thus, Fish Liver." Inui corrected his assistant, who just nodded in response.

"Saa. I would like to try it." Fuji said as he went near the two,

"Eh? As in, Fuji-senpai?" Kumiko asked as she looked at him with disbelief,

"Why? Would you want to, as well, Tezuka-chan?" Fuji asked as he smiled at her,

"NO. I am not a regular. So, no thanks. And what's more, Inui-senpai made it for the regulars." Kumiko replied as she looked away with a faint blush on her cheeks,

"Saa... Sou ka..." Fuji said as he started practicing.

"Neh, Oishi-senpai..." Kumiko called to her senpai,

"Doushite desu ka, Tezuka-chan? Are you hurt or something?" Oishi asked,

"Iee. I just wanted to ask you something." Oishi turned to Kumiko,

"Go on." Oishi said,

"Eto... Do you think I should go see a doctor?" Kumiko asked as she stared at the regulars practicing,

"Eh? Doushite desu ka, Tezuka-chan? You must be sick, since you're not hurt!" Oishi said,

"Iee. It's just that whenever I see or think about these two people, it seems my heart flutters or something like, I'm really happy inside. It's kinda different whenever I see An-chan or anyone. But then, I don't know with these two people. Do you think I should stay away from them?" Kumiko asked as Oishi gaped at the younger girl's revelations,

"I suppose it's just in my head. I can't be sick after all. I'm perfectly fine. And it seems my asthma didn't appear for quite some time already." Kumiko said as Oishi was completely utter less,

"Well then, thank you for listening Oishi-senpai. Ja." Kumiko said as she stood up and left Oishi.

'Is she talking about Fuji and Yukimura then?' was what Oishi was thinking all along.

jychan: Now, I'd like to thank ansonozaki, AuroraxHime, sayume214, unknown player, Dragon Reverb for their reviews!!! Finally, I've got lots of reviews... I am really really flattered... LOL... Nihonshu means japanese rice wine... OK? Kanzuo has two meanings: liver and liquorice... well, that's what a japanese translator said, so i'm not held responsible for it!!!!

ansonozaki: well, there would be really lots of problem if Tezuka finds out the declaration of war between Seiichi and Fuji... hehehe... You know, the over-protective side of tezuka would be really seen and what's worse is that, it would really make Tezuka OOC... but i'll try tezuka to be over-protective but not OOC... but i wonder how...

AuroraxHime: thanks! so you're rooting for Yukimura, say... well, I am too. but that would be really unfair to the other people, so i guess I'll make a double ending for everyone!!!!

sayume214: it's not spring break, but summer break... well, here in the Philippines, we have summer on April... Kinda weird noh... a reviewer from my other story, freyasakura, told me as well... LOL... i hope i did well this chaptie...

unknown player: i am really really sorry for the grammatical errors.... Really really sorry... T-T... i hope you'll forgive me... well, i must say, im asthmatic as well, but im not exempted from PE Class!!! well, we learned basketball and volleyball... T-T... and now look, my PE class standing is 82... and now im almost out of the honors' list... T-T... Well, enough with my drama! thanks for liking Bumped. And don't worry I'm rooting for Yukimura, but for everyone's sake, I'll make a double ending. OK?

Dragon Reverb: Hi there! Well she is going to end up with one of them, but i guess i'll make a double ending for everyone's sake, noh! i'll try to update soon!!!!
