Chapter 37: Vengeance Time
It's been a few weeks now since the school play and the coach of Seigaku, Ryuzaki Sumiere, continued twitching after getting inundated with phone calls from the news reporters and magazines. She said that enough was enough and that now, it was time to put all three rival teams together in order to ensure that Ryoma can have a chance to get a date with all the big boys. At this point, as she sifted through the photo on her desk, she could only smile while picking up the phone.
Back at Hyotei, atobe and the others were going about their business as usual while Sakaki was still fuming in his office after that fiasco. Suddenly he was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing as he picked it up. "Yes? Coach Sakaki speaking."
"Hello there coach, I see that our little baby boy has gotten used to being a part of your love troupe along with Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Chuu. Tell me, how well is he fitting in?" said Sumiere
"This whole thing was your doing and now you are asking me? I swear even Ryoma said to me that he would make me his next date as long as he can get vengeance on your sadistic brown haired freak for orchestrating this mess. Believe me, my boys have been at it day and night and I am unable to finish my work in peace." Groaned Sakaku.
"Oh come on now, don't put the whole blame on me. It is snot my fault that Ryoma was dressed up like a girl in order to show off to the most popular boys on your team and to Rikkaidai. Besides, it was my way of saying thanks for taking care of him. After all, Ryoma has been a pillar of love among the boys here in the tennis club so it is nice to know that he has people coming after him day and night." Smiled Sumiere.
Sakaki like out a frustrating sigh before speaking into the receiver, "Such a scene like this is sending chills down my spine and now I got a whole bunch of reporters out there asking me various questions such as when that brat will officially marry Atobe or when he will inherit the mansion. It took me and the obys forever to keep them out of my office since they are really persistent. Unfortuantely for me, I am not going to be the one responsible for this mess." Replied Sakaki.
'Relax won't you? I am sure we all pulled this off without a hitch. Besides, you seem to have a good bond with that kid since he will do just about anything that is asked of him. He can be a bit devilish at times with his father and Fuji, but he is a good kid." Continued Sumiere.
Sakaki face-palmed at that response and replied, "You guys are so unbelievable. This is not what I had signed up for. But no matter, I guess our team has been tasked to have another vacation at a beach down in Osaka. After all, I am never used to these loud noises of the press conference, but this is way too much for me to bear. Anyway, I am glad that our school has given the opportunity to let this play succeed. It's getting late here, I will see you guys tomorrow at the gates of Hyotei." With that, Sakaki hung up the phone and placed his hands underneath his chin while smiling.
At Ryoma's house, things were mut getting much better as Ryoma hopped into his room and lied down on the bed to rest his body after a long day. However, his father tip-toed upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Oi, Seishounen! It's time for dinner! Stop lounging around the bed!" called Nanjiro
"I can't! Not with the disguise I am wearing!" shouted Ryoma.
"Oh you'll be fine, Chibisuke! I am sure all the girls back in America would love to see you dressed up as a girl. After all, everyone thinks you are cute!" laughed Ryoga
"S-Shut up, Ryoga-nii! Don't make me take my vengeance out on you!" shouted Ryoma as he blushed furiously.
"Maa Maa, no need to take it out on your dear old brother Ryoga!" smiled the elder Echizen as he opened the door and dragged his younger brother downstairs.
"Ryoga-nii, what is the meaning of this? I can walk you know!" protested Ryoma.
"Ah-ah! A big brother must follow common courtesy here. As a popular ladies man, you need to let me carry you downstairs for your big dinner feast!" laughed Ryoga as he settled his brother down on the chair.
Ryoma groaned in frustration since he couldn't find a way out of this mess let alone being a part of Fuji's pranks. However, he knows that alcohol was the only thing that can make a sadist drunk. Furthermore, Ryoma headed over to the wine bar area and grabbed a few beers and placed them in his tennis bag before sitting down to dinner again.
"So, Seishounen, I see that the pictures are spreading like wildfire, care to explain?" asked Nanjiro.
"Yeah, please tell us, Ryo-chan." Smiled nanako.
"It was just some dumb play that was orchestrated by that sadistic good for nothing Fuji. He just wants me to fall for him instead of Atobe, Sanada, Yukimura, or even Tezuka for that matter. Besides, I am having trouble deciding whom to fall in love with because they are all older than me. Yes I do see them as my brothers, but this is just going overboard. I am just not going to sit back and watch Fuji make a joke out of me. He may think this is a laughing matter, but we will see who has the last laugh. What I am about to show him will be provocative to the whole school." Replied Ryoma sheepishly.
At that moment, Ryoga nearly choked on his drink as he stared down at his little brother. He then grabbed the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth before talking again.
"Don't tell me you are planning to do something that you will regret for the rest of your life?" stated Ryoga.
"This is payback for what Fuji did to me." Smiled Ryoma devilishly as he poured the contents of the beer into the canteen and mixed it up with Inui's juice. He then placed it back into his tennis bag before leaving the house, leaving his family to watch him in awe.
"That brat sure knows how to make dangerous concoctions for his teammates, doesn't he?" smiled Nanjiro.
"That's my chibiuske. He always has plans of his own to get back at his sempais for messing with him. Just like that old saying, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" smiled Ryoga.
Back at Seigaku, everyone were resuming practice as usual while Ryoma went into the clubroom and changed into his tennis uniform before setting the rest of his things in his locker. As he headed outside, he spotted Fuji waving at him.
"Saa, so my lover has returned once again. I hope you enjoyed that torture we put you through last night." Smiled Fuji darkly.
"That torture you put me through, will come back and haunt you because I already got something planned for you. Check your canteen in the clubroom after this match is over, sempai." Said Ryoma gleefully while the others were in shock and awe.
"Saa, so Ryoma is planning to give me a parting gift for his troubles? This I got to see." Smiled Fuji dryly.
The stoic tezuka looked at Fuji for a brief moment and cleared his throat. "Everyone, gather around for practice sessions with your teammates. Oh, I also personally invited the people of Hyotei here because I have them to thank for letting Ryoma become the girl of Atobe's dreams." Said the captain.
Everyone immediately faceplanted to the ground at that response while Ryuzaki snickered like crazy, "BUCHOU! I never realized that you had a fetish for Atobe. But what's your reason for bringing them here?" asked Taka.
Just then, the sounds of fanfare could be heard outside of the Seigaku tennis courts along with a car approaching towards the gates. At that moment, ryoma knew who it was and decided to investigate. Sure enough, Atobe's personal servants stepped forward while the students of Seigaku immediately opened the gates in order to allow the red carpet to flow through smoothly. As the other regulars arrived, they wondered if this was some sort of a welcoming party from the captain himself.
Just then, Atobe's butler stepped out and said, "May I present to you, the king of Hyotei, Keigo Atobe!" he then bowed gracefully to Momo and the others as Atobe approached them.
"Well, well, well, it seems that your stoic captain has personally picked me to observe your tennis matches here today. But I can see that he has other plans for me." Smiled Atobe with the crown on top of his head.
"M-Monkey King, what are you doing here?" said ryoma nervously.
"Ore-sama reminds you to stop calling me that." Huffed Atobe.
"mada Mada dane." Said ryoma as he blushed.
"Anyway, as I was saying, your buchou called me here to watch your tennis matches and I noticed that you haven't started yet. Do you need me to help you with your moves again?" continued Atobe.
"No, no sir, I got it. But thank you I should really get back to practice, but you can come in now." Said Ryoma as he rushed off towards the tennis courts.
Atobe looked at him for a moment and scratched his head, "That brat is very strange indeed. I wonder what could be making him so nervous today." He thought to himself.
As Atobe arrived at the tennis courts, he waved at Tezuka, whom was in the middle of finishing his tennis match with Fuji. He then told fuji to take a break and to get something to drink from the clubroom. Once Fuji nodded and left, the captain turned his attention towards atobe and said, "Fancy meeting you here, keigo."
"Same here, you must be awed by my presence, ahn?" Said Atobe.
"We have been rivals for too long, and yes as brothers, your presence is indeed welcome here.' Said Tezuka.
"Let's put our rivalry aside, since you know that we do share love with Echizen just like Sanada, Fuji and Yuushi all do. Overall, that kid sure has melted our hearts with his remarkable performance last night and to be honest, we have never, ever seen him doing something so dazzling." Continued Atobe.
"I know that feeling, even I couldn't take my eyes off of him for one second. The moment I saw him in that dress, I was blushing furiously, even Yukimura as well. I would have kissed that boy right on the nose like you would do." Said Tezuka.
Just them, a sound of sneezing could be heard from behind the bushes as Ryoma rubbed his nose, "geez, why is everyone so obsessed with me?" he thought to himself.
Elsewhere at Yukimura's house, the Rikkaidai captain was relaxing himself at the garden area while Sanada was in the basement working on his dojo training since they already knew about the Echizen/Atobe affair going on. Even they couldn't do much about it now because Sanada himself wanted to start a relationship with the kid as well. There was no telling where this whole love relationship will go when Ryoma is surrounded by older boys.
"Sanada Fuku-buchou! A word with you if I may?" called Yukimura.
At that moment, Sanada realized what he had heard and rushed upstairs before heading towards the garden area. Once there he could see Yukimura watering the plants and said, "Yes, Yukimura, what is it?"
"Are you in love with that Seigaku brat?" asked the captain.
Sanada immediately widened his eyes at what the captain just said and blushed, "What are you talking about, Seiichi? Who told you that I was in love with that Rookie brat?"
"Don't deny it, fuku-buchou, unless you want a taste of Ryoma's wine inside the clubroom?" Yukimura gave him an icy glare that not even his teammates could stand. Even Sanada knows that he shouldn't be lying to his captain or else he could be running laps around the entire garden as punishment.
"H-Hai, Yukimura-buchou. I think I might be in love with him, but Ryoma just refuses to admit it since he has trouble deciding whom he is really in love with. Looks like you and I have to pay a visit to Seigaku and we have to let him decide for himself." Said Sanada as he immediately sheathed his sword and returned it to the basement dojo area while Yukimura finished up in the garden before they changed their clothes and headed over to Seigaku.
"You realize this means that your love for me will happen sooner or later, right, Sanada-sempai?" continued yukimura.
"What are you talking about? Since when did you become my boyfriend? He then thinks back to that dream again about him beating Yukimura in a tennis match
Sanada could feel the ball grazing the strings of his racket and he didn't think what would happen next. He just merely lifted his racket back up and shooting it to Yukimura's side of the court. He then twisted his body again while landing roughly on his knees while scratching his legs on the ground. He couldn't care less what would happen to him as long as he got back up and running again.
"Out!" called the umpire. "Game and match, Seiichi Yukimura. 0-6."
Sanada stood there while being immobile. His teeth was still clenching with disappointment while blood and sweat continued to roll down his body. He has lost to Yukimura once again since he had been trying his best to defeat the child of god, but couldn't bring himself to do so. As his blood boiled in anger, he looked at the person that he despised day after day, but chose to accept defeat in grace.
Yukimura smiled at him before turning away to get his gold medal
Afterwards, Sanada immediately shook his head to get that nightmare out of his mind. He could then feel his cap being taken off his head. As he looked up, he felt his head for the cap but it was not there. He then turned to look at Yukimura with the hat in his hand
"Buchou, please give me my cap back." Said Sanada.
"You must be daydreaming again, what about?" asked Yukimura.
"Maybe it's about ryoma, but I highly doubt that it would be him. Now, can I have my hat back?" asked Sanada.
"Nope, you are going to be posing for some photos for me. I need you to hold still so that you can be a perfect model for me." Smiled Yukimura as he took out his cell phone and turned into the photo position.
"Why? Don't I have a right to daydream?" began Sanada.
"Of course, you should only daydream about me." Smiled Yukimura.
Sanada wasn't even sure what Yukimura sees in the vice-captain and just shrugged it off. "Sure, now can I have my cap back?"
"Actually, I cannot see anything well with this cap because I want to take some photos of you without it," said Yukimura.
Sanada thought it was a good thing that he has been daydreaming because he has been the center of Yukimura's life and that his body was acting up again. Furthermore, the child of god's eyes were so intent on Sanada as if he was the only important person in this world. Those blue orbs were roaming through every single inch of his body and looking at every detail and movement that sanada was making. At that moment, Sanada was feeling a bit uncomfortable posing for the camera as he squirmed like crazy.
"Hold still my dear Sanada." Warned Yukimura. "you are making the pictures far too blurry."
"You are the one that is making this very uncomfortable for me!" thought sanada as he looked at the potted cactus outside of Yukimura's house. He wished to have hidden the cap inside his tennis bag while looking away from Yukimura's face because he felt exposed without his headgear. Sanada then paused to take a deep breath and tried to make his body staying very still while trying to think about kendo, grip tape, tennis, and of course his team. Even Yukimura was thinking about that freshman from Seigaku and the words said to him as well. But despite all that, sanada was still wondering how he had spent his entire life hating Yukimura with a passion until a few nmonths ago. Although there is some constant bickering between them, there were times that Sanada was acting a bit immature. But now, Sanada was starting to become jealous of Yukimura now, but that didn't excuse him from fighting and the hate he had on the bluenette.
Just then, a knock at the door could be heard as the two teammates from Rikkaidai turned and saw yukimura's mother. She was still smiling the same angel-like smile that Yukimura had, except for the fact that she had dimples on her cheeks. Their hair was still the same wavy and dark blue texture, but also, her hair is a lot longer.
"You guys have forgotten to pack your lunches. I don't want you guys to go hungry." Said the woman.
"Thank you, Seiichi-chan," bowed Sanada as he took the packed lunches and handed one for Yukimura.
"Thanks mom." Replied Yukimura.
Yukimura was still looking at the photos that he took and observing the different angles as if he was trying to see how he could make it a lot better. Although there is still a bit of blurriness on some of the photos, he wondered if he should adjust the vision and brightness a bit in order to ensure that Sanada would stay very still for as long as possible. Looks like he would be doing his signature pose for a long while.
"Perhaps you can ensure that the pictures can be taken horizontally and zoom the camera a bit more. Besides, you need to intimidate the power through picture mode."
"Right, I should maybe adjust Sanada's posture and adjust his chin a bit more. Also his jaw could be a bit more pronounced. His eyes could use a bit more brown too." Said Yukimura.
"The photos looks really good, son. But I would like to see one thing change." Said the mother
"What's that?" asked a concerned Yukimura.
"I would definitely take a photo of him undraped." Replied the mother.
It took a moment for Sanada to fully process his brain and to understand what the mother had said. But when he understood it fully, his face started flushing bright red at the comment. At that moment, Yukimura was regretting not to take photos of Sanada naked and showing it to his classmates.
"Too late for that now." Huffed Sanada.
"You guys have a good day now," said the mother.
"Thanks, I will be sure to send the photos to Fuji and Shiraishi later on." Said yukimura evilly.
That made sanada twitch in anger as he wanted to slap the captain right on his cheeks. He was wondering if the captain's teasing had gotten him to the point where he couldn't handle the whole love affair for much longer.
"Sanada…" whispered Yukimura.
"No! Don't even think about it, you rapist! I am never posing nude in front of my classmates. And give me back my cap."
Yukimura twirled the cap around for a bit before tossing it playfully. "How about an exchange?"
"No way will I be modeling naked in your photos when you have my cap. Now then, give it here." Said Sanada sternly.
"Tch! You're no fun." Said Yukimura while giving in since he was asking for a high bargain price. But that didn't mean he could lower the bargain. "So, promise me that you will kiss me in order to get your cap back,"
Sanada immediately rolled his eyes before approaching the short haired teen. Furthermore, Yukimura was holding nothing back while Ryoma watched from beside the bushes and wondered if he should keep a photo of this for memories. Thinking quickly, he quickly called Atobe on the phone and said, "Looks like Sanada has found his true calling."
"Really? What are those two doing?' replied Atobe on the other line.
"Apparently, Sanada is falling in love with his boyfriend Yukimura and they are smooching together. Shall I take the photo?" continued the raven haired teen.
"Please do, I am sure Sanada wouldn't mind." Replied Atobe. The line went dead after that reply and Ryoma immediately waited for the opportunity to get those two on photo.
Sanada kissed Yukimura's lips tightly and a flash came from the camera behind the bushes. But neither of them noticed it and just shrugged it off. Yukimura definitely smelled like paint today and Sanada didn't feel his hair features having soft texture against his cheeks. When Sanada pulled back, Yukimura looked at the bushes behind the vice-captain and was annoyed about something.
"What is it?" asked Sanada.
"Do you feel that someone is spying on our kissing, or do you think you just don't like my kisses?" said Yukimura.
"Who said I didn't like your kisses? I only did it to make you stop complaining. Now then, can I have my cap back?" said Sanada as he reached out his hand.
"Nope, not until you give me a real kiss with your tongue." Stated Yukimura.
Ryoma covered his mouth and snickered quietly while hiding behind the bushes.
"You are so gross right now, Yukimura." Sanada said as he slipped the cap back on his head.
Yukimura was laughing right now and said, "Oh come now. I won't bite." He then wrapped his arms around Sanada;s neck as their lips molded together. But barely a minute passed, Sanada could feel the hot and wet texture of Yukimura's tongue pressing forward on his lips.
"Although you might not bite, I do." Said the vice captain.
"Still as stubborn as ever, aren't you?" whispered Yukimura. "Now stay still. You are in for several more hours of camera posing." He then turned towards the bushes. "You can come out now, Ryoma nii-san"
A few minutes later, Ryoma came out from the bushes and said, "Yukimura-sempai. I didn't even know you had an affair with Sanada fukubuchou. Looks like it would be hard for me to decide who I really love now."
"Why would you think that? Sanada loves a little man like you just like Atobe and the others do. Besides, if you find it hard to choose the man you love, then love all of us back. You don't need to pick-and-choose each time. Anyway, I saw the photo that you took and I think you should definitely keep it. Besides, you wanted payback on Fuji don't you? Just slip this little bit of spice into Fuji's bottled water and maybe then, he will think twice about torturing you with a dress again."
Ryoma immediately took the spice pack and said, "Thanks, Yukimura-buchou. I think I already spiked Fuji's bottle with alcohol and I am sure he is pretty much slurring his speech right about now. Maybe the spice is to ensure that he has more sweat and tears when he plays tennis." Smiled Ryoma darkly.
"Perhaps, now go get them, bro!" said Yukimura as he did a fingered pose towards Ryoma.
Ryoma bowed gracefully and left. Yukimura then turned his attention towards Sanada and continued with what he was doing. Just then the phone rang and the voice was Shiraishi on the other line.
"Hello, Raishi-buchou, what can I help you with today?"
"Yes, I was wondering how long it took for you to return my call. I noticed that you are planning to drug Syuusuke with some sort of a special ingredient, is that true?"
"It's not my intention to do it. I sent ryoma up for the task so I think he shall be the one to succeed. I mean the Inui juice didn't have much effect on him so the alcohol should definitely take over." Replied Yukimura.
"Wow! You got some serious sadistic tactics just like me! You really want to let Fuji chug down wine? He isn't old enough to drink yet. His brain will be messed up by the time he finishes the drink." Warned Shiraishi.
"Just watch and see. I am sure Fuji will be able to sleep it off tonight." Finished Yukimura as he ended the call.
Back at Seigaku, Fuji walked inside the club room and took his water bottle and realized that instead of water, he was served with alcohol instead. He then wondered what else was in there and decided to take a whiff of it.
"This looks to be rather interesting. I wonder if this wine should change my way of playing tennis. Ah, what the hell? Might as well drink it." Said Fuji as he took a couple of sips of the drink. He then paused as the entire room started shaking. Fuji then realized that this was no water at all as sweat started pouring out from his face. He then paused to place the water bottle on the ground and covered his mouth before spitting it out into the water fountain. "What the hell is this? Which one of you smart-ass mother fuckers spiked my drink?" yelled Fuji.
Everyone outside of the clubroom were staring at Fuji in awe. None of them said anything since they were not responsible for the crime, but rather a raven-haired freshman did it as payback.
"Come on now, fess up. Which one of you did it?" TELL ME!" roared Fuji. His eyes was turning purple as tick marks appeared on his forehead.
"It was me, Fuji-sempai. I spiked your water with Swedish wine that Atobe had left for you in your locker. Luckily, you will be out for at least 24 hours tonight with the American spice I added in there. Consider this payback for making me wearing that dress. Happy Valentines day to you!" said Ryoma as he stuck his tongue out at the third year sadist before running into the direction of Atobe's car.
At that moment, Fuji was about to sock Ryoma for messing with his water, but decided to let it go as he watched the kid run off. He then made a few fists before throwing the towel on the floor. "Saa! Well played you little fucker! I guess tough love does work both ways since Shiraishi and Yukimura taught you a bit about reverse psychology. Well then, I will get you back for this, I promise!" thought Fuji as he stormed off into the showers and wiped his mouth with the napkins.
Back in the car, Atobe and the others laughed like crazy after Ryoma's stunt. Looks like he will not be running laps after all since Tezuka wanted harsh punishment on Fuji for making him playing the tree.
"That was such a brilliant stunt you did back there, brat." Smiled Atobe.
"Thanks, Keigo, but I didn't do it on my own, I had some help." Replied Ryoma.
"I would assume its Yukimura, ahn?"
"Yup, only he would try something like this since he did it to Sanada a while back. And boy, it took the vice-captain forever to sleep it off. He couldn't even remember what happened the next day. I am sure Fuji will be experiencing the same side effects as well. Maybe then, I won't need to be abused or punished so much just as long as I can get love from you, Tezuka, Fuji, Sanada, yuushi, Yukimura, and Shiraishi. I am not trying to be picky here, but I want all of you to be mine!" said Ryoma.
Atobe widened his eyes at the seigaku freshman and said, "Really? You want all of us to love you? Well, that is just about the best decision that you have made all day. Are you suggesting that all of us should live with you?"
"Yup, that's right, but I cannot just love one person, I want you all to be my boyfriend for life and together, we can be a family! I am sure Ryoga would definitely approve of this since he took good care of me when we were younger." Said Ryoma.
"Are you sure about this, Ryo-chan? I was the one that put you in a precarious situation previously, and now you are over that already?" stated Tezuka.
"Yes Tezuka-buchou, I forgive you for slapping me during the selection matches, but still now that I made my choice, will you guys do the honor of being my family?" said Ryoma as he reached out his hand.
Tezuka and atobe both looked at each other and nodded. They were surprised that Ryoma wanted these guys as brothers and lovers, but more importantly, his role models. They in turn, shook Ryoma's hand and said, "Of course, we would be honored to be your family members."
Ryoma then smiled at them and said, "Thank you guys! I promise you will not regret this!"
Wthout a moment's hesitation, Yukimura and Sanada arrived at the Seigaku tennis courts and asked, "What's going on?"
"You guys will be a part of Ryoma's love life now. He has already made his decision to take all of us in as his family." Said tezuka.
"are you serious? That would mean I can show Ryoma the true meaning of playing pranks on people." Said Yukimura.
"I would be able to have some one-on-one practice sessions with that little brat and show him the meaning of "emperor" added Sanada.
"Remind me to give him laps if he doesn't eat or drink healthy enough." Finished Tezuka.
"It's settled then. We have officially made Ryoma as a part of our Lovers Committee. This meet will take place at my mansion tonight. Don't be late." Finished Atobe. "Driver, take me back to the mansion to get ready for this important meeting tonight."
The driver nodded as he drove off while the others waved at him from a distance away.
Author's Notes: Looks like Ryoma has finally accepted his destiny on finding love in everyone from various schools. I wonder how this committee will play out in the next few chapters. Anyway, sorry for the long delay in writing this. I was so busy keeping the house clean and my mom is out of town. So, please forgive me for not writing sooner. Anyway, I wonder if Ryoma has also found his true calling now. We shall find out next time.
