Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis, if I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics about it and I wouldn't be wishing that Rikkai won Nationals and had more screen time.

This is a request from SugarTensai. This is one of the longer chapters!

Yanagi sneezed, just thinking about that day made him feel cold. Honestly, you'd think that junior high students would know when to go inside. Well, they actually do...they just couldn't disobey Yukimura.

"Ne, Yukimura-buchou! Can we go outside?" "But Akaya, it's still snowing." Yukimura replied, accidentally crushing Kirihara's hopes and dreams.

"Not to mention that it's about negative five degrees out there." Yanagi added.

"But, I wanna go play in the snow!" Kirihara whined, putting on his best pout.

"Well...I guess we could go out for a little bit...just for a few minutes." Yukimura always had a weakness for Kirihara's pouts. Everyone else rolled their eyes, except Sanada, Yagyuu, and Yanagi, who all did it mentally. "Make sure you put on your snowsuit!" Yukimura added as an afterthought right before the second year ace was going to run outside.

Later...

"Why...did...we have...to come out...here?" Marui asked, teeth chattering between each word.

"Would you rather face Yukimura's wrath if you stayed inside?" Jackal asked.

"..."

"Thought so."

"Marui-senpai, look out!" Before Marui could react, a snowball hit him square in the mouth, popping a bubble he had been blowing.

"Who. The. Heck. Did. That!?" Marui yelled.

"It was Niou-senpai!" Kirihara frantically pointed in the direction where he thought Niou was. Unfortunately for Kirihara, Niou had vanished.

"Akaya!" Marui scooped up a handful of snow and threw it at the second year.

"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Niou suddenly appeared behind Marui, who fell over into the snow when the Trickster pushed him.

"Niou!"

"Wait." The three trouble makers paused.

"Y-Yukimura." Marui stuttered.

"Teams are-"

"Teams? That's not fair!" Niou yelled. Sanada raised his hand for a slap. "Hehe...never mind."

"As I was saying...teams are Yanagi and Yagyuu, Kirihara and Marui, Niou and Jackal, and Me and Sanada." Yukimura finished.

"Hey, that's not fair! You and Fukubuchou will kill us!" Kirihara yelled.

"Ready..." Yukimura started.

"Wait!" Marui popped a bubble. "Okay."

"Go!" Sanada scooped up a handful of snow and immediately, Jackal and Kirihara were out.

"That's not fair!" Kirihara yelled.

"Jackal and Akaya, out!" Yukimura announced. "Did I mention, whichever team is out first has to run 100 laps around the neighborhood in just their tennis uniforms?"

"EH?!" Kirihara and Jackal chorused.

"Go, Marui-senpai!"

"Don't lose, Niou!"

Yukimura stood, just dodging the snow, leaving the work to Sanada, who had somehow scooped up enough snow to take out all the others. Seeing this, Yanagi dived out of the way, pulling Yagyuu with him. Niou happened to see Yanagi jump out of the way and did the same. Marui...well, he wasn't so lucky. Sanada dropped the snowball, or rather, the very heavy snow block on him.

"Marui's out." Yukimura said, digging him out from the snow. "Well, Akaya and Marui lose." He stated.

"Yudan sezu ni ikou!" Niou yelled.

"Niou-kun, there's no point to using an illusion." Yagyuu sighed, easily hitting Niou.

"At least I don't have to run laps."

"Niou and Jackal are third. 50 laps." Sanada stated.

"What!? I thought only the losers get laps!"

"I changed my mind." Yukimura smiled at Niou, who went silent.

"Yanagi-kun, what are our chances of winning this?" Yagyuu asked, while hiding behind a fort wall.

"0.01% chance." Yanagi answered. "We might as well just give up."

Yagyuu sighed. "Let's just go. We can't win."

Yanagi and Yagyuu stepped away from their fort. And then a pile of snow fell on them. Neither Sanada nor Yukimura were near them.

"I can't believe you guys actually fell for their trap, Yanagi." Niou said.

"Yanagi, Yagyuu! 25 laps!" Sanada yelled from the door.

5 laps later...

"Yanagi-kun, how many laps do we have left?" Yagyuu asked.

"20. 45 for Niou and Jackal. 95 for Marui and Akaya. And it's already been 1 hour." Yanagi replied.

"Well, at least we're not running a hundred laps." Jackal smirked at Marui.

"Puri~" Niou joined Jackal in smirking at the redhead.

"At...least...you...don't have...to run...in...a t-shirt and...shorts!" Marui said, teeth chattering for the second time that day.

"Shut up...and run...senpai." Kirihara said. Yukimura snapped a quick picture while the group was passing by.

"What should we do while we wait for them?" Sanada asked.

"Don't worry, they're going to be out there until tomorrow morning, you do have a big neighborhood, Sanada." Yukimura replied. Needless to say, Sanada and Yukimura got the rest of the day to themselves, and Kirihara didn't have as much fun as he thought he would.

The picture showed Yanagi and Yagyuu ahead of the group, looking sane, while Jackal and Niou were smirking at Marui, who was getting ready to jump the two. Yes, you could even tell from the picture. And then there was Kirihara, in his tennis uniform along with Marui. It was clear that the two were already freezing, but they would deal with it. After all, no one disobeys Yukimura.

Happy Birthday today, June 17th, to another one of my favorite Tenimyu actors, Baba Toru, who played Yagyuu Hiroshi in the first season of Tenimyu!

Happy 27th Birthday Ba-chon!
