Kicked Out of the House
Ryoma Echizen wanted to spend a normal week just to carry on with his household chores, but his father decides that having his snarky son home all day isn't good for him at all. So, he decides to send his son off to survive on his own with his sempais from various schools. Will the captains be able to dish out some paybacks of their own on Nanjirou?
Chapter 3: The Emperor's New Brat
It was a typical Thursday afternoon when Ryoma showed up at the tennis club in a good mood. Even some of the other players didn't notice him there with the exception of Momo, Oishi, and Kikumaru. As for Tezuka and Fuji, they were busy reading a book or catching up on past times with their families.
"Nya, Ochibi! What's up with you today?" asked Kikumaru as he glomped Ryoma tightly.
"Sempai! Can't breathe!" said Ryoma. Eiji noticed his face was turning blue.
"Oops! Sorry about that!" chuckled Kikumaru as he released Ryoma from his grasp.
Ryoma paused for a moment to catch his breath before talking again. "As you may know, I managed to spend a night with a few of my sempais over the past few weekends."
"Really? For real? Tell me the details, you brat!" laughed Momo as he ruffled Ryoma's hair roughly.
"Of course! Marui was nice enough to let me stay with him since his family were sort of reserved types of people. As for his brothers well, they are feisty and don't do what they are told."
"Are you serious? You actually lived with Marui!?" asked a shocked Oishi.
"Yeah, so? It wasn't so bad. We did some stargazing and played some chess. I didn't win unfortunately."
"Oh. That means you didn't sleep in the same bed with him?"
"Nope, I slept on the futon. It was quite comfortable actually."
"Ochibi! How come you didn't live with me?" pouted Eiji.
"Yeah, you could have called me and my parents would be more than happy to let you stay with me as well." Added Oishi.
"Well, this whole idea was my father's since he wanted me to survive on my own with my sempais. At first I thought it wasn't a good idea, but then something convinced me to try and talk to some people that I have strong connections with. That's where Marui came in."
"I see. It seems that you don't like getting kicked out. Am I right, Ryo-chan?" said a voice from behind him.
Ryoma immediately jumped at the sound and hugged the lockers. "FUJI-SEMPAI!" What the hell was that for? Don't EVER sneak up on me like that again!"
"Maa, am I really that scary?"
"Yes, you are!"
"But I didn't molest you or anything."
"Never mind that now! As I was saying. My father nearly tried to get me to sleep with one half of the silver pair from Hyoutei as well. Luckily for me, he managed to stop my father before that happened."
"One half of the silver pair from Hyoutei? You mean Shishido Ryou?" asked Eiji.
"Yup."
The others looked at each other for a moment before Eiji and Momo fell to the ground laughing like crazy.
"What's so funny?"
"You…. You're a riot! You actually tried to spend a night with that dash specialist? Man, you're lucky he didn't beat you up."
"I didn't. My father made those arrangements."
"Your father had absolutely no business barging into Hyoutei's affairs." Stated Tezuka without looking up from his book. "Does Atobe know about what your father did?"
"Yup, but Shishido-sempai was nice enough not to file sexual harassment charges against my perverted father. Luckily I dished out a little revenge of my own."
"What did you do?"
"I burned his porno magazines. Well, I actually had Mukahi-sempai took care of that."
"Mukahi Gakuto?"
"Yup. And somehow, I actually spent the night with him instead of with Shishido."
"You got guts, you little brat!" luaghed Momo as he gave his signature noogie to Ryoma's head.
"I hope Mukahi didn't do anything bad to you."
"Nope, he actually felt sorry for me being kicked out. I can say with certainty that he isn't so bad after all."
Everyone was gobsmacked. How could this kid have survived a night with that red-headed jumping bean without being tormented?
"Now that you all know about what I did. I believe you all need to get back to practice right now." Ordered Ryoma.
"You're not the captain here!" barked Momo
"Tezuka-buchou actually put me in charge today."
"Buchou, please say something here." Said Oishi.
"I'm afraid I cannot do anything. You heard what the kid said. Get back to practice or else!"
They all complied without arguing any further. Fuji just smiled.
Later…
As Ryoma was getting ready to leave, he could see his father's car parked outside the school gates. How did this happen? No one at the school called for Nanjiroh to pick up his son. Did he come of his own free will? Ryoma just sighed as he walked towards the car.
"Oyaji, how did you get here?"
"Your buchou actually called me here to come and pick you up."
"Well, I guess I will have to thank him later. Anyway, I hope you are here to take me home."
"Hmm…. Nope!" said his father.
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid you are going to Kanagawa again. Since you didn't bring my magazines back, I decided to bring your cat with you on your trip."
Ryoma immediately snuggled up his cat upon climbing into the car. "Why did you have to drag my cat along?"
"She misses you a lot, seishounen."
"Okay, but that doesn't explain what this has to do with me going to Kanagawa."
Nanjiroh paused for a moment to think that over before taking Ryoma's phone and calling up a random number. "I think you are going to enjoy this one." He said before turning his attention back to the phone. "Hello? Yukimura-buchou, are you there?"
Back in Rikkaidai…
"Genichirou, it seems that you are improving more and more now. Just a few more practice runs and you should be all set for the nationals." Said Yukimura.
"My form seems to be in perfect order. So why did you let me stay after school to rally with you?"
"If Rikkaidai wants a victory next year, my training regiment for you shouldn't wear you down. It's for your own good."
"You sure are in high spirits."
Yukimura chuckled upon hearing that.
Ring Ring!
"Hello?"
"Ah, Yukimura-buchou! Just the man I wanted to talk to."
"Yup, and to whom I am I speaking to today?"
"I am Nanjirou Echizen, the legendary tennis pro. The reason why I called is because my son is homeless."
There was an eerie silence on the phone, followed by a loud crash of tennis carts. Genichirou quickly got up and walked away without injuring himself without letting Yukimura assist him.
"Um, Hello?"
"Yes, I am still here." Said Yukimura as he paused to regain his composure. And it's great to hear from the legendary pervert. And as for your son being homeless, I am so sorry to hear that. What do you want me to do?"
"I was wondering if your vice-captain could arrange to have my son spend a night with him? I am sure he would love that."
"OYAJI! What the hell?" shouted Ryoma as he jumped out of the car and snatched the phone away from his father without letting Yukimura finish his response.
"Hello? Yukimura-buchou? Sorry about my father. I am not homeless. My father actually kicked me out of the house today."
"So you are not homeless at all?"
"Nope. Don't listen to that lying pervert. He's making that stuff up."
"I see. Looks like I am going to have unleash some hell upon your father." Smiled Yukimura as a glint of deadly aura appeared on him.
"Please do. But can I talk to Genichirou?"
"Sure." He then handed the phone over to the fukubuchou. "It's for you."
"Hello, Echizen?"
"Yes, Sanada-sempai. I am here. Sorry to bother you at a time like this."
"No it's fine. But may I ask why are you going to spend a night at my place? I have many things I need to do and I am not sure if my family would permit this."
"My father wants me to try and survive on my own. And he even asks me to sleep on the same bed as you."
"Excuse me!?" shouted Sanada.
Yukimura was stifling with laughter in the background.
"I am not saying that I want to have sex with you. My father wants me to snuggle with you."
"Snuggling with me is the same as spending a night in the same bed with me! Why are you trying to change the subject?" shouted Sanada.
"That's just it! I didn't want to do this, but my father left me with no other choice."
Sanada was getting a headache. Just what exactly was his father thinking?
"Okay brat. Listen to me, you are not getting anywhere near my bed. I don't want your foul-smelling stench all over my bed sheets because it is totally unsanitary. Second of all, your father needs to keep his perverted nose out of my business, is that clear?"
"Crystal clear."
"Good." He then gave the phone back to Yukimura.
"Echizen-kun. It seems that my voice has reached to you once again." Laughed Yukimura.
"Please tell me what's so funny?" asked Ryoma as he blushed a beet of red.
"You spending a night with my vice-captain is just so funny, Oh gosh. I thought you were practically going to marry him."
"Yukimura! I said no such thing!" retorted Sanada.
"I'm so sorry, Genichirou!" laughed Yukimura. "But honestly, I have a sinking feeling that you do have feelings for that brat."
Sanada was blushing furiously upon hearing that.
"I do not harbor any feelings for a kid like Echizen. I am just an acquaintance to him, that's all. Now if you excuse me, I need to go change."
Once Sanada was out of sight, Yukimura continued talking on the phone.
"I think Sanada just needs time to accept you into his house. Anyway, are you dropping him off at the train station?"
"Yup, and once he arrives, he will meet you guys at the school gates. I really am looking forward to seeing how well he does this time around." Smirked Nanjirou evilly.
"Oh, don't worry. I will have plenty to share with Fuji later on." Agreed Yukimura.
Ryoma just sighed while Nanjirou just laughed. This was not going to go well for him. Furthermore, Sanada has one other little annoyance to deal with: his nephew! Just think, Sasuke and Ryoma together with the fukubuchou is going to give him nightmares.
As the car pulled into the train station, Ryoma gathered up the cat carrier and his belongings and walked inside without looking back at his father. Was this really worth it? Ryoma didn't even ask for this and his father somehow just gives the go-ahead without permission? What would Sanada's grandfather say?
Once Ryoma settles himself on the train, he placed his cat into the carrier and sat it down next to his seat before taking out a magazine to read. Unfortunately for him, two rikkai regulars that were sitting two rows away from him heard what happened and decided to investigate.
"Yanagi-sempai, are you really sure we should be spying on Echizen?" asked Jackal
"Chances of spying on the kid from Seigaku is only 60.5 percent at best." Replied Renji.
"Your calculations are way off."
"Nope, I am certain it is accurate. Furthermore, I just got a text from Yukimura that Echizen has to spend a night at Sanada's house. It seems that Sanada has started to become infatuated with that kid from Seigaku. I am sure Inui-san will be having a field day with this one."
"Isn't that an invasion of privacy? I mean why would we want to intrude on Sanada's affairs with that kid?"
"We are not intruding. We are simply going to ask Echizen if he is really going to go through with his plan." Replied Renji as he walked over to where the tennis prodigy was sitting and took a seat behind him.
Ryoma knew that he was being followed and said, "I know you are hiding behind me, Yanagi-sempai. You don't have to worry as I will not harm you."
Renji stood up from his seat and starred at Echizen right in his eyes. "Oh my, it seems I have been spotted. How did you even see me?"
"I noticed that you guys were secretly talking amongst yourselves during the train ride. Furthermore, my father put me up to this and Yukiumura somehow approved it."
"Whenever Sanada-fukubuchou doesn't want things to happen, Yukimura-buchou will always say yes or else. As sadistic as our captain can be, we cannot cross him." Stated Jackal
"I can see why I am put into this position. I guess I am going to have to face dire consequences here if I said I wasn't going to sleep with Sanada sempai."
"Your chances of saying no are fifty percent at best. Want some Aozu?" said Inui as he offered Ryoma a cup of that vile elixir.
"When did you get here, Inui-sempai? And keep that drink away from me." Said Ryoma with a disgusted look.
"I overheard your conversation with my coworker over there so I decided to tag along."
"Are you a stalker?"
"I do not 'stalk' people. I am simply just here to observe my kohai."
"Observing people is stalking." Argued Ryoma.
"Really? I hadn't thought of that. But Fuji sent me here to keep an eye on you just in case if anything goes wrong."
Ryoma just sighed as the train pulled into Kanagawa. Once everyone got off, Ryoma had his sights set on meeting Sanada at his home while the others watched.
"So now that you are here Echizen, want us to show you where Sanada lives?" asked Renji.
"Well, if you must. I guess I got no other choice."
"Good, I was just about to head over to my co-worker's house to concoct some more experiments."
"Please, no more of those vile concoctions. You are going to make me sick." Said Jackal.
"Why not? Those drinks are healthy for you." Stated Inui.
"Not to me they are not."
"Jackal-sempai, maybe your immune system isn't used to the drinks that I prepared. Maybe you wasted all your strength in the school gym. I guess I need to make some adjustments in those drinks and add it in your water bottle next week."
"Yanagi-sempai, don't even think about it."
"You really don't want that drink?"
"Nope!"
"In that case, should I inform Yukimura-buchou that you are constantly ignoring your health?"
Jackal was shuddering at that question and shook his head.
"Good. Trust me, Jackal. My drinks don't poison anyone." Smirked Renji.
Jackal just sighed while Ryoma tried his best not to laugh.
As the gang reached Sanada's house. It looked quite fancy with a dojo at the center of the foundation. There was even a fish pond in the backyard as well. All of the rooms in the house were pretty cool-looking as well. Although the house isn't as big as Ryoma's, it still had its unique looks of a Japanese home.
Renji rang the doorbell and moments later, a little kid opened the door.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Hi, we are here to drop a friend off here. Is Sanada-fukubuchou here by any chance?"
The little kid looked at the boys outside and said, "Just a minute, I will go get him for you." And he hopped over to the family room and tapped on Sanada's shoulder.
"Genichirou! You have some guests over."
"Please do not call me that, Sasuke!" barked Sanada as he got up from the sofa and headed over to the door and opened it. He was surprised to see his teammates here.
"Jackal, Renji, what are you guys doing here?"
"We are just in the neighborhood. And also, Echizen is here to stay with you for the night." Replied Jackal.
"What? I never gave that brat permission to be here!" barked Sanada.
"The chances of him being out in the cold here is about 25%. The chances of you letting him have a warm place to cozy up is about 75%."
"You and your absurd calcuations." Sighed Sanada. "Just bring him in here."
"Thank you very much, fukubuchou."
Both Rikkai students helped Echizen to carry his luggage inside before leaving to finish their duties elsewhere.
As Echizen stepped inside, he bowed to the host and said, "Thanks for letting me stay here. I hope I am not intruding or anything."
Sanada just looked at him for a moment. Just what exactly was his purpose of coming all the way to Kanagawa? And why isn't he at his own house? This wasn't how his night was supposed to go because he has some homework that needs to be finished.
"Um… no you are not intruding. Do you want something to drink?"
"I will have a glass of water if you don't mind."
"Of course. And oh, about your luggages, just set them down over by the living room. I am sure you must be tired after getting here."
"Not really, I slept a little bit on the train."
"I see. Have a seat on the couch and make yourself comfortable. I will be right back."
Once Sanada left for the kitchen, Ryoma settled himself down on the couch and raised up the armchair leg to relax his body for a bit. He then looked around the room and saw photographs of Genichirou when he was a kid, including his grandfather and that goofy, obnoxious nephew Sasuke.
"Such an adorable family." He thought to himself. He could hear his cat meowing in the carrier as he got up and took the cat out and placed it on a nearby chair before sitting back down again.
Just then, Sasuke arrived into the living room and saw the luggages. He also took a closer look at the tennis bag with the letter R written on it and was surprised. This kid was actually a tennis prodigy? Just how old was he when he first started the sport? He then sees a cat on a chair and smiled.
"You must be Karupin. Oh my gosh you are so cute!" squealed Sasuke as he gently ruffled the cat's fur.
"Meow!" smiled Karupin as he gently prodded Sasuke with his paw.
"I am sasuke. Pleasure to meet you."
The cat smiled back at him before crawling onto his master's arms.
"I see you've met my cat." Said Ryoma.
"Yeah I did. You must be that tennis prodigy everyone's been talking about."
"Yup, that's me. Echizen Ryoma. I did defeat your uncle though."
"I saw the match. And frankly, you are pretty good. But you are nowhere near Yukimura's playing style."
"Well, ever since he was released from the hospital, Yukimura-buchou has been taking it easy and just enjoying life as we know it. Besides, I will be more than happy to play him again."
"Is that so? Then if I am not mistaken, you are in love with Genichirou?"
Ryoma gave Sasuke a confused look. "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, are you falling in love with him? Do you want to sleep in the same bed as him?"
Upon hearing that response, Ryoma blushed like crazy. "That's not it! How can you say that? I only came here because my father forced me to."
"Oh, your father eh? No wonder that old pervert is trying to set you up on this matchmaking mission. Just tell Sanada to pucker up when you get comfortable with him!" smirked Sasuke.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" shouted Sanada.
Ryoma snickered. When did that kid start learning about romance?
"Genichirou, you need to find someone to date you. You can't be single forever."
"What!? How dare you! I am 15 years old if you haven't noticed!"
"Given your current age, you can start marrying that kid from Seigaku right now!"
"I will do no such thing!" thundered Sanada.
"Oh yes you will!" said Sasuke as he blew a raspberry at Sanada before dashing outside and closing the door behind him.
Sanada was nearly ready to explode as he dashed outside. How dare that bratty nephew of his suggest such a thing! Just then, Gen'emon arrived and watched the commotion outside.
"My grandsons are so hyperactive these days."
"Are they always like this, gen'emon-sama?"
"Oh yes! They are always like this day after day. Sometimes I don't even know what to do with them anymore."
"I see. Oh by the way, I am Echizen ryoma. It is very nice to meet you." He said and shook Gen'emon's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet a polite young man like you. Ryoma. Also, what exactly are you doing here though?"
"I was told by my father to stay here for the night since I was kicked out of my own house. Furthermore, he wants me to get comfortable with Sanada-sempai in bed."
Gen'emon laughed wholeheartedly upon hearing that. "Really!? Oh my! Don't tell me you are in love with my grandson?"
"No, I am just friends with him. It's not like I am going to have sex with him or anything. I did beat him in tennis though."
"Sure, you might have bested him in tennis. But how will you survive the night sleeping with him?"
"As long as he doesn't snore like crazy I will be fine."
Gen'emon smiled at him. This kid has guts taking on a challenge offered to him by his father. He then dashed outside and stopped his grandsons from running any longer before dragging them both back inside.
"I hope you guys are finished. If so, please show our guest to the room he will be sleeping in. And oh, Genichirou, try to keep that brat comfortable in your bed for as long as possible."
Genichrou blushed furiously. "Grandfather! How can you say such a thing? You're embarrassing me!"
Gen'emon just laughed as he returned to the living room while Sasuke watched in amusement.
As soon as Ryoma gathered up his luggages and headed into the guest room, he sets them down on the floor and took out his change of sleeping clothes. Just then, Sanada entered the room with an extra blanket.
"Do you need it just in case if it gets cold?"
"Sure, but I won't be using it that much." Said Ryoma.
Sanada sets the blanket down on the bed.
"I might be called your little brat now. Want to kiss me good night?" smirked Ryoma.
"Shut up!" barked Sanada as he threw a pillow at Ryoma's face.
Ryoma just shrugged as he laid back down on the bed and played around with his Nintendo switch.
"By the way, dinner is almost ready. You should get prepped." Called Sanada.
Ryoma looked at the clock as it read 8 pm. He then rushed over to the dining area and took a seat across from Gen'emon and Sasuke. The drinks were poured and the cutlery were all set up. Soon, the food was set up as well.
"itadakimasu!"
As the gang enjoyed their dinner, Sanada's phone went off and as he checked, it was Yukimura.
"Sanada speaking."
"Hello there, Genichirou. I hope I didn't interrupt you at a time like this?"
"It's fine Yukimura. We were just eating dinner right now. What's up?"
"Well, I understand that you have a stubborn little boy in your house. I hope you are taking good care of him."
"What are you talking about, Yukimura?"
"You know exactly what I am talking about. Are you making sure he is cuddled by your side?"
"What do you mean by cuddling? I only put him in the guest room all by himself."
Oh is that so? I guess you are going soft on the kid after all. Let me know how it all goes tomorrow at school. I want those photos of you guys in bed on my desk first thing tomorrow."
Genichirou nearly exploded and couldn't think of anything else to say as the line went dead. He then placed the phone back into his pocket and resumed eating.
By the time dinner was over, Ryoma went over to the family room and switched on the television to see if there was anything good on the sports channel. His cat was resting on the couch as usual after eating.
"Making yourself comfortable, Echizen?"
"Yup sempai. Want to join me in watching sports?"
"No thanks. I need to get some work done."
"I see. But still what did Yukimura-buchou tell you on the phone?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know."
"He didn't say anything about us cuddling together, did he?"
Genichirou was red as a tomato and left the room without giving ryoma a reply.
Just then, Gen'emon arrived and sat down next to the tennis prodigy.
"I hope dinner has satisfied you."
"It did. Thank you so much."
"Anytime, my friend. But you should probably ask your relatives to see if they can save you some leftovers when you return home the next day."
"I will check with Nanako on that." Said Ryoma as he took out his phone and texted his sister before putting it back in his pocket.
After a few hours of watching television, Ryoma took a magazine from his tennis bag and browsed through it. But what he also discovers is a porno magazine. He then headed over to the garbage bag and tossed it in before returning to the couch.
"That baka oyaji should have known better not to put a dirty magazine in my bag!" he thought to himself.
He then went over to check his bag to make sure that there weren't any more magazines before going to the bathroom and brushing his teeth.
As he headed towards the bedroom, he could see Genichirou meditating in the dojo and decided not to bother him since he needs this tiem to get rid of the stress and headaches.
Once Ryoma was in bed, he took out his gaming console and played with it for a while since there wasn't much to do here. As for his father, he didn't even bother calling his son to check on how things were going with him.
"I think it is time for me to execute my little plan." Thought Echizen to himself as he made his way towards Sanada's room and hid underneath the blankets to avoid detection.
Once Sanada was done with his meditation, he went to the bathroom and took care of his business as usual. He then sat down on his own bed and took out a book to read. But just as he started reading, he could notice a strand of raven colored hair underneath his blankets. He then gently shook the sleeping person awake.
"Echizen, what are you doing in my bed?"
"Thought you could use some company."
"Why?"
"As your buchou stated on the phone, I don't feel like sleeping on my own, I need to be here with you at all times to make sure you don't have any nightmares."
Sanada heaved a sigh and drank some water sitting on his nightstand before talking again. "Echizen, I don't know what Yukimura told you, but I can easily sleep perfectly fine by myself. Go back to your own bed please."
"Are you sure you don't need any cuddling?"
"Echizen!" growled Sanada. "Don't make me assign you death laps!"
Echizen just sighed as he got off the bed and returned to his room. "You need someone to show you what true romance means to you."
"Will you please leave!?" shouted Sanada.
"Che!" pouted Ryoma. "What a mood breaker." He then closed the door behind him.
Sanada breathed a sigh of relief as he lied back down and went to sleep.
The Next day at Rikkai…
"So, Sanada-fukubuchou, how was your night with that brat?" asked Akaya
"I bet you cuddled him tightly like a baby till he fell asleep." Laughed Niou
"Niou-kun!" barked Yagyuu.
"Let me guess, you must have molested that boy in his sleep." Added Marui as he blew a bubble gum.
"I did no such thing to him!" shouted Sanada.
"Oh really? I have all the proof right here, Genichirou." Said a voice from behind him.
Sanada immediately noticed the dangerous aura from behind him and jumped back a few feet to avoid being caught.
"Tarundoru! Yukimura! Did you have to sneak up on me like that!?" shouted Sanada
"Gomen!" chuckled Yukimura. "Fuji-kun actually sent me several photographs of Echizen sleeping in your bed while you weren't looking. See?" He then showed the pictures to Sanada, causing his eyes to widen in shock.
"See, I told you Sanada was a trustworthy person." Said Niou. "Good luck marrying Echizen, Piyo!"
Sanada was raging with fury as he chased after Niou all around the tennis courts while laughter could be head from around him.
"Fuji-kun, I knew you were a genius." Thought Yukimura.
Once the chase stopped, Sanada sighed for a moment until a smile crept up on his face. "You might have evaded me this time, Echizen. But the next time we meet, I will teach you not to mess with me!"
Author's Notes
That ends the chapter. Oh my god, I thought I would never get this done because of how long it took. Anyway. Now that Ryoma has finished staying over at Sanada's place. I wonder who he will bother next? I know, I love to torment Ryoma's opponents. Remember to Read and review and I will see you next time!
