Hi there! I'm so sorry I didn't update last week. School's taking all my time :(

Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis series, its awesome characters, Shitenhouji and the Oshitari family. I only own Kouki and some annoying cheerleaders.

I'm sorry for any grammatical mistake and typo. And sorry for randomness and lack of description.

Enjoy! Expect our blue-haired Oshitari here! :D

Note: It was raining all day

Ch14: Ignorant

2nd day of the National Tournament…

"Today quarterfinals match is postponed because of rain. The match will be held tomorrow morning." The first years grunted as their coach announced the news. Indeed, that was rather a bad thing to hear. They had been excitedly waiting for their seniors' 2nd match in National Tournament when suddenly the weather had changed heartlessly.

Not only the ichinens, actually everybody felt a little disappointed, even the regulars, even the cheerleaders, even Osamu himself.

Everybody except Kouki…who was receiving a call at that time and didn't pay much attention.

"Kouki, could you meet me now?" said the guy on the phone.

"Yes, but why?" She asked curiously, it was quite strange for him to ask something from her (or literally from anyone).

"Well," She could hear him sighing. "If it's not because of Atobe…"

"Who?" She blinked. "Adobe?"

He cleared his throat. "Who-so-ever it is, I'll you later. Anyway, can you come to the 3rd court now?"

"Okay?"

"Good. And one thing…"

"Yes?"

"Don't ask Kenya to come along."

She rolled eyes. God, these two guys.. "Okay okay…"

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

With a huff, she ended the conversation.

"Who is it?" Kenya asked.

"It's Yuu-chan." She answered without noticing that some people also took interest in listening to the conversation.

"What did he say?" He asked again.

"She asked me to meet him on the 3rd court. Dunno why, he just said it was related to someone called Adobe." She shrugged.

"I see," Kenya sweatdropped. He knew that it was Atobe not Adobe. "Anything else?"

"Uhm.. Well…"

"Huh?"

"He said…"

"What?"

"He said not to ask you to come along."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Kenya?"

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

"So, your captain Adobe-san asks you to bring Osaka's food?" Kouki tried to conclude and simplify what Yuushi had told her just now so that she could completely understand the situation.

"Something like that. It's more suitable to call it order than ask though." The glassed guy nodded. "And it's Atobe not Adobe." He added.

"Uh, okay... So Ado- eh, I mean A.. Who was it again?" She grinned sheepishly to him, hoping that he would repeat it once again (for the thousand times).

"A-to-be." He said with pressure on the second syllable.

"Atobe-san?"

"Yes. Atobe." Yuushi sighed. Finally. "So, back to the topic. Any idea?"

She scratched her head, trying to think some idea. "Osaka's food nee… Takoyaki?"

He shook his head in disapproval. "Takoyaki is now a common food in Tokyo."

"How about okonomiyaki then?"

"The same with takoyaki."

"Hakozushi? Udon?"

"Er.. I don't think so."

"Jiyuken Curry? Doteyaki? Kushikatsu?"

"No…"

"Ikayaki?" She desperately tried.

Yuushi smiled as his round glasses glinted. "That one would probably work."

"Really?" Kouki looked at him in disbelief. All of those foods she had suggested, why ikayaki? Wasn't it also a common festival food here?

"Yes. It's the commonest of the commoner's commonest food. It'll be interesting for him." He stated, still with satisfied smile.

"Well, if it's what Adobe-san's want…"

Yuushi stared at her, his smile vanished. Had she just said Adobe again? He mentally facepalmed. Why oh why all of his cousins had small limited brains.

"Yuu-chan?"

'Oh well, Atobe won't know this anyway…' He thought.

And right after he thought like that... His cell phone rang.

"Speaking of the devil…" Yuushi mumbled before receiving it. "Yes Atobe? Huh? Wait, what? Geez. Okay. Whatever." He huffed and looked at his cousin, who looked back at him with curious face. "Atobe said he didn't want Osaka's food anymore. He's looking for Okinawa's one now."

"Eh?" Kouki widened her eyes in disbelief. Adobe-san… What a guy...

"I'm sorry for troubling you, really." He apologized as he put the cell phone back into his pocket.

"Nn, it's okay." She shrugged.

He smiled. "As an apology I'll accompany you back to Shitenhouji's base."

"No, no, Yuu-chan. You don't have to." She shook her head. He didn't need to do such a thing; it wasn't his fault at all.

"I resist." He took her hand and with an umbrella in his other hand, he stared dragging her along.

"If both of our teams win on the quarterfinals, we'll meet on the semifinal, right?" Kouki asked. They talked a lot while heading to Shitenhouji's base.

"Hyoutei will win for sure," Yuushi proclaimed confidently. "Your next opponent is Fudomine. Even if this is their first time in nation, I must say they're a quite strong team with one of the former two wings of Kyuushuu Tachibana Kippei. You can't take them lightly."

She hummed listening to his explanation. "If someone like you said so, then they must be strong. However, our guys are still much stronger. If we win, we win."

He smirked. "I do hope we'll meet on the semifinal. It's also been a while since my last match with Kenya."

"If I'm not wrong, your last one was during last year winter holiday." She tried to recall, index finger pressed on her lips in a thinking pose.

"I believe so. Oh, here we are. Time must fly so quickly while we're chatting."

They stop their steps as their arrived in front of a roofed place near the main court. It was Shitenhouji's base indeed, judging by a lot of boys in yellow and green there.

And among the boys, she could spotted an older boy in regular jersey were talking with some girls in cheerleader uniforms. She frowned and unconsciously tightened her gripped onto Yuushi's hand.

Realizing the sudden change in her, he looked at her, and then at the group of people she was staring. Oh yes, she was so easy to read. He understood the situation in a mere second. It was just like in every romantic novel after all.

"Kouki-chan, you're back," Shiraishi greeted once he saw her. Then he noticed the blue haired guy beside her. "And this is..?"

"Uhm, this is my c-"

"Aw, Kouki-chan! I didn't know that you already have a boyfriend." Yui's sudden exclaimed cut in.

"He's so good-looking." The other cheerleader said, followed by girly giggled from the girls.

"Yuu-chan is not my boyfriend!" Kouki's face reddened.

"Don't be so shy Kouki-chan. Look, you're even holding hands." Yui pointed to Kouki's and Yuushi's hands. They were still hand in hand.

Kouki immediately released her hand from his; her face was even redder than before.

"T- This is…"

"Aw, don't you think they're so cute together, Shiraishi-kun?" Yui looked up at the guy next to her.

Shiraishi only gave a "hmm", his eyes focused on Yuushi and fingers tapped on his own chin, looked like he was thinking of something.

Kouki elbowed Yuushi who kept silent all the time. "Please, say something!"

Yuushi sighed. Actually he wanted to watch them a little longer, but it'd be bad for her if this situation kept going. She seemed like that silvery brown head (who seemed not paying attention at all at the girls and kept staring at him) and those girls (especially the blond one) must be the rivals in love. "It's not like what you think, miss. I'm actually her-"

"What's going on?" Kenya asked as he and Zaizen suddenly popped in.

"Kenya-kun! Oh, we've just met Kouki-chan's boyfriend." Yui said in sweet tone.

"Kouki's?" He cocked his head to see the guy referred as Kouki's boyfriend. He was so curious. Kouki did have any boyfriend. And then he couldn't help laughing so hard after he had found out that it Yuushi they had been talking about. "Heck, he's not Kouki's boyfriend! He's our cousin!"

"No way! You don't even look alike." Yui objected.

"Yuushi-san doesn't have to look like one of the other Oshitaris. Even Kenya-senpai and Kouki-senpai don't look alike. They're cousins, not siblings." Zaizen reasoned up, replying Yui's objection.

Shiraishi snapped out. "Oh! I remember now. You're Hyoutei's Oshitari Yuushi. You were quite famous during our elementary time in Osaka. No wonder you look so familiar."

"Oh yeah. He was quite famous that time." Kenya said sarcastically. "No wonder you forgot about him Shiraishi."

Yuushi coughed. "Pardon, what are you trying to say, Kenya?"

"Exactly the same things as you're thinking right now. C'mon Yuushi, I know you're not stupid." Kenya smirked.

"I know that I'm a genius, not like you who can only run here and there." Yuushi smirked back.

"WTF! Are you insulting my naniwa speed star?"

"If you were bright enough, you shoud've realized what I was saying without asking back the obvious thing."

"The hell! Do you think your tennis is better than mine? I knew you lost your temper on your last game."

"But I still won!"

"You won only by a chance of luck."

Kouki sighed. These boys never changed.

Ignoring those quarreling guys, Shiraishi turned to Zaizen (who barely cared about those guys as well)."Anyway, what are you two doing here? I thought you guys went with Osamu-chan."

"That's it. Osamu-chan asked us to look for you, buchou. He said he needed your opinion for the upcoming match's order." Zaizen answered with monotonous voice as always.

"Oh, and since Kouki's also here, I think she should come too. She's the manager after all." Kenya looked at Kouki as he stopped his fight with Yuushi.

"Okay." Kouki nodded.

"Then we better go now, it's not good to make Osamu-chan wait to long." Shiraishi said to his teammates then turned Yuushi. "I'm sorry, we have to go now. I hope we can talk more next time."

"Nah it's okay. Please take care of Kouki…" Yuushi took a glance at Kenya. "…and Kenya."

Shiraishi chuckled. "Until next time then." And then four of them walked away.

"Wait, Shiraishi-kun!" The long forgotten Yui tried to stop him, but it seemed that he didn't hear her because of the rain.

"Seems that Shiraishi guy completely ignores you, miss," Yuushi smirked. "And I'm quite positive that he also didn't pay much attention at your attempt to make me looked like Kouki's boyfriend back then."

Yui threw a deadly glared at him and hissed before she and the girls left. "None of your business, four-eyed Oshitari."

"What a troublesome fellows," He adjusted his fake glasses, softly talking to himself. "Seems that I also have to go now. Actually I also look forward to the Okinawa styled dinner."

I know the Adobe-Atobe is not funny at all... *sighs*

If you have time, just google those food. They really looks yummy. (I almost drooled over them when searching for some data XD) And in case you have eaten any of them (except takoyaki and okonomiyaki) please tell me how it tastes~

Sorry if Yuushi and the others are sooooo OOC.

At last Zaizen became a nice follow XD

For those who want ShiraishixKouki sweet moments, I sadly have to tell you there won't be any of your fave moment in next few chapters. It's almost time for Yui and the fangirls' counterattack anyway. *spoiler* (I'm sure you'll get sick if Kouki wins in every single chapter right? That's why, let's turn the table~)

So, how's this chapter? Do you like it? or is it so lame? Please review and tell me your opinion. Concrits are always loved :D

See you!
