"And today... we will have a ah, special drill." Ryomi smirked like the cat that caught the canary. She rummaged through some bags at her feet...
-and pulled out a pair of hot pink stilettos.
"I'll be taking care of you from now on! Please treat me well!" Ryomi smiled.
The regulars stared at the seemingly harmless pair of shoes in Ryomi's hands.
Akaya snickered. "How are high heels going to help us train?"
Ryomi's grin, if possible grew even larger. "In fact, Seaweed-sempai, these are yours!" She thrust the stilettos at the bewildered junior.
"And- these are for Jackal- " She pulled out a pair of leopard print pumps.
"Marui gets these fabulous lime-green wedge heels-" Said person nearly dropped the shoes with a yelp.
"Hmmmm let's see... Ah! here we go!" Ryomi was obviously reveling in their horror at the monstrosities they dared to call shoes.
"Yaguyuu gets a wonderful pair of silver slingbacks..." Yaguyuu cringed.
"For the trickster we have a pair of prism heels in a dazzling shade of highlighter yellow" Niou smirked.
"Red cone heels with pink flamingos for Renji..." The Master stared at Ryomi like she had just requested for him to do the chicken dance on top of a school bus- but you know,with closed eyes of course.
"A classy pair of black wedge heels with adorable golden faux fur trimming for fuku-buchou..." Sanada opened his mouth to say something- and stopped. He tried again. Soon Sanada looked like a fish out of water, mouth gaping- wanting to object to the horrific training but wrestling with his nature of respecting those with the authority to do so...
"And for the buchou himself, a stunning pair of lavender platform heels with pictures of rubber duckies all over it." Yukimura merely smiled and accepted the shoes gracefully.
Ryomi crossed her arms.
"Now I want all of you to complete your new training regime with these shoes on for the rest of the practice. No ifs, ands or buts about it."
Ryoga was on the ground shaking in a pathetic attempt to keep himself from laughing.
"Pfffttttt, fake fur... ahaahahaha... Flamingos and Duckies! Ahahahaha" Royga banged his fist on the ground meanwhile clutching his stomach.
"Fufufufu, dear nii-san why are you laughing so?" Ryomi crooned.
Ryoga immediately stood up with a start. He knew that voice...
"You didn't REALLY think I would let you off that easy did you...? Hmm?" Ryomi smiled. She pulled out a pair of sparkly purple stilettos with pink hearts all over.
Ryoga accepted the shoes with a sigh realizing that there was no way he could win.
"Now-" Ryomi turned to face the regulars. "Wearing these shoes will help your balance tremendously."
"But-" Akaya groaned.
"Ah, Ah, Ah, I said no buts." admonished Ryomi.
"Should you fall, every time you fall, 50 laps will be added to your next practice. If you trip, 20. And-" Ryomi's Cheshire cat grin seemed to grow even bigger.
"And- if you somehow managed to clear the 100 hundred lap mark, for each hundred, you will have to drink a cup of-" Ryomi picked up a mug out of one the bags at her feet.
"I believe it is ah, Golden Power Remix Inui Juice." Ryomi giggled.
"Juice? how bad could some juice be?"Marui questioned.
Upon hearing the name, Renji paled considerably. "H-How d-did you..."
Ryomi chuckled. "I have my ways."
And thus, Ryomi's Iron reign would soon begin...
The practice ended successfully-or at least Ryomi thought so.
Sadly, Akaya had been the first to sample the Inui juice. Passionate screams for his life could be heard all throughout the school grounds.
In the end, the winner was Yukimura, who had managed to slip under the juice's wrath with 90 laps. It had taken some adjustment, but once he figured it out, the high heels were quite delightful in fact.
All the regulars had passed out after they had taken the juice, so unfortunately, Ryomi could not assign more laps. Ryomi was sure to keep that in mind next time...
The regulars changed in the club room sluggishly (Ryoga included).
"Man, and here we thought Sanada was a slave-driver." Marui stretched. Painful crackles could be heard as he shook out his weary legs.
Sanda glared, but was otherwise too tired to say anything.
"Ugh, why me too? It's not like I'm on the team..." Ryoga sobbed in chibi form.
"Well, Echizen-san, you and Buchou did force Ryomi to join the team against her will..." Jackal said kindly.
"Blerghhhh... the worst part is that she managed to keep up! The heels didn't affect her at all!" Akaya groaned. "I can't feel my legs..."
Yukimura simply changed quietly listening to the conversations around him. 'What fun...I definitely made the right choice.'
Ryoga left earlier, saying that he had to finalize Ryomi's paperwork and headed toward the school.
The rest of the regulars all changed and headed out of the courts when they say Ryomi waiting and leaning against the school gates. She was texting someone.
Suddenly a limousine had pulled up! Some one slid out of the seat and chatted to Ryomi.
"Ryom-" Akaya was suddenly yanked into the bushes by his sempai.
"What are you doing?" asked Akaya.
"Shush! Be quiet and watch!Whoeever that guy is, he must know Ryomi pretty well to get out of the limo for her !" scolded Marui.
"Ehhhh? Really?" Akaya whispered.
"That guy has a limousine! Unless she's with the mafia, she probably is!" Marui whispered.
The person said something and Ryomi laughed.
The regulars were surprised. They didnt even know she coud laugh like that... Unless it was a you're-going-to-suffer chuckle...
"62% chance of Echizen going on a date." Renji whispered.
"Must be rich, Puri." Niou grinned.
"She's obviously going on a date!" Marui echoed Renji.
"Tarunda-"
"Ssssshhhhhh!" The poor vice-captain could only be reassured by his captain who thought it looked interesting and had joined.
The unknown person opened the limo's door, but Ryomi shook her head.
"Eh? A disagreement?"Marui commented.
"Guys. this really isn't very..."Jackal tried to warn.
"Shut it, Jackal!"
The person reluctantly closed the limo door and offered his arm to Ryomi.
She took hold and the two walked down the street.
"Oh my god!" Akaya cried. "I recognize him!"
"It's Atobe Keigo from Hyoutei!"
"You mean Ryomi's dating someone from another school?" Marui questioned.
"Well, the limo would certainly make sense then" supplied Renji
"We have no other choice." concluded Niou
"We have to follow her!" said Marui, Akaya and Niou.
And so the Rikkadai regulars decided to embark on an adventure with stalkerish tendencies!
