After three long hours traveling by the bullet train with couple of bentos [lunch box], drinks and some awkward games, Tezuka and Fuji finally arrived. But it was not over, they had to climb for another additional one hour before finally reached their destination.

It was a nice rectangular school with green nature surrounding it. The building was pretty old, the ji-san [uncle] said that this year it would reach its thirties. Its roof was made out of black woods while the rest was from plain brown woods. From the front, the school looked fairly small but when both of them explored its surroundings more, they had to admit that it could almost rivaled to Seigaku. Behind the school, a few tennis courts, two basketball courts, one indoor and one outdoors, and a fairly large swimming pool plus a soccer field were present.

"Such a nice school, I reckon..." Fuji smiled at the ji-san next to him. His full name was Moriyama Akira. He was in his late fifties, and had been the school keeper for approximately fifteen years. He had no hairs left in his head, its troublesome to have hairs, he reasoned when the prodigy asked him. Ji-san was short; he'd only come up to Fuji's blue eyes.

"Yes, too bad you came on summer holiday... In school days, it gets pretty crowded here" He explained as he smiled gently at the azure-eyed man and his companion.

"Sure, we'll try to come to your school some time later" Another big smile was plastered on his beautiful face.

"Excuse me, if I may ask. Why is this school build in mountains? I mean, the place is pretty isolated from outside so it's going to be tough for students to come to your school right? Why not build it in Tokyo instead?" A deep voice that certainly belonged to Tezuka interrupt them to asked. The shorter man turned around to look at his company while the ji-san smiled meaningfully before he began with a croaked voice.

"Of course, why not build it in Tokyo? Lots of people had been asking me and Tomoyuki-sama..."

"..Tomoyuki-sama?" Fuji cut in softly.

"Yes, he is the principle and the one who build this school. He is a very wise man and I respect him very much in fact. Tomoyuki-sama builds this school for children who couldn't pay those high school bills in Tokyo. He built it in here because the air is good for the children's health, plus he said that they can interact with nature better this way"

"He's a very nice man then... but what about transportation?" Fuji asked, getting more curious and curious by each second.

"Oh, that's not certainly a problem... Tomoyuki-sama had prepared several busses to pick them up from their houses, which are not really far from here..."

Fuji whistled. "This is such a good school and if I can guess, is it free?"

"Not really. Since we all need money to live right?" Fuji and Tezuka nodded. "So, Tomoyuki-sama take payment from those who can pay the school bills"

"Sou ka... Then, where are we going to sleep, Ji-san?" The chocolate-haired man asked, eyes still closed and smile still placed on his face. The old man nodded a few times with laughter between it as he gave out the map of the school and pointed to five large classrooms on the second floor.

"Here, now shall we proceed to the classes?" Moriyama said as he folded the long white papers and gestured them to come into the building since they were outside now, in the tennis court to be exact.

As they entered the building, the faint smell of wood hung in the air. Lockers were seen lining neatly on the room. Fuji opened his blue eyes in amazement as he took a look around while Tezuka, being the poor one who lost at playing cards and now had to carry their entire luggage, sighed and walked in steady pace.

Damn that Fuji. He never told me that he's so good in cards... How did he manage to get a full house twice in a row?? The captain thought confusedly, unaware of the fact that the prodigy had tricked him back then.

The three of them walked in silence to the five classrooms. When they arrived Moriyama said that he had other things to do and leave them. It was something about the ex pro tennis player who had promised to come and teach them. Fuji and Tezuka watched his retreating back until it disappeared in the corner before taking out some papers and pens.

"So, shall we? This reports have to arrive in Sumire-chan's hand by tomorrow right?" Without waiting for the answer, which he would certainly not get, he continued. "And who said that this place was rusty again? They got to be joking! This place is fabulous, right buchou?"

"Aa, let's check the classrooms then. I'll check class 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 while you do the rest..." The captain answered. He scribbled a few notes with his pens before handing them to Fuji.

"Tick this box if the class is clean, don't tick it if it's dirty... Write some notes of recommendations of this room like who should sleep here and there... got it?" The explanation was clear, simple and short. So like Tezuka... Fuji chuckled at the thought.

"What?"

"No, nothing... Then, see you in the next fifteen minutes?" The shorter man smiled again before he took his leave and went to class 2-4, leaving the captain alone. When Fuji's back was gone, Tezuka let out a sigh of relief. He just got these strange, uncomfortable feelings at the pit of his stomach whenever the unpredictable genius was around. And not to mention that he had lost the brown files about Fuji due to his carelessness...

Flashback

After he had received the brown files with things about a certain prodigy inside, he quickly went home. Unfortunately, he was caught up in a fight, which somebody had kindly set and lost the file as the result.

Those thugs dragged him into a deserted, dark corner before they beat him up. Luckily, neither of them hit his injured elbow or else...

Still not satisfied after all the harsh beatings, their keen eyes took interest on the brown files that Tezuka held so dearly to him. They smirked as they took it from him.. Took the information, which he, as a captain should read and look.

"Bye Bye smartass..." Tezuka clenched his teeth hard, he couldn't fight here. If he did, he would lose the chance to play with his teammates because the principal of Seigaku never tolerated this act of violence.

He squeezed his hand hard, so hard that it bleeds. Next time, next time... He swore silently in his heart as Tezuka picked his tennis bag and the broken glasses that were thrown to the far right of the dark corner.

End of Flashback...

Yesterday's event flashed in his mind as he got up with a pen and paper to check the three classes. As he looked at the first classroom, which was rectangular and fairly big with a few large windows around it, he ticked it and wrote.

Class 2-1

Clean, big and spacious for the first years. Not that clean though, there are dust here and there, should be no problem when the first years clean them...

Satisfied with the small but clear report, he went out and closed the door of the classroom before he went to the next one. He opened it and observed the slightly smaller but probably equal room. Chairs and tables here and there with black board in front and windows beside it. Not much difference from the first one.

Class 2-2

Also clean. Lots of windows, good for health. For second years to sleep.

This was getting more and more pointless as the minutes ticked by. Tezuka was bored but realized that this was certainly essential for their team. So, quickly, he went out and went to the next one, ticked it and wrote.

Class 2-3

Good one, perfect for meeting and talking.

He was done. The reserved man sighed as he folded the paper and adjusted his slightly down glasses then went to check on his smaller friend. He went out from the classroom and search for Fuji in class 2-4. The beautiful with twisted personalities man was sitting down beside the window on one of the chairs. His slender hand supported his face as his now opened eyes looked outside blankly. The late orange yellowish sunlight bathed on his pale form, making it looked golden. Tezuka was struck and speechless. His heart raced like mad and desire started to burn his rational thought.

Calm down, Tezuka Kunimitsu! He's your friend! not your fiancee! You should not have these kinds of stupid desire for him!! You don't want to cheat Sami and make her cry!!! This spell was recited over and over again as he tried to control his libido and luckily it worked. Now, as calm as an ice king, he approached the still oblivious man.

"You finished?" His word jerked Fuji's body slightly. The unpredictable prodigy let out a long sigh before he sealed his blue orbs and turned to face him.

"Of course, here it is... and if you don't mind, I made one of the rooms Ryuzaki-sensei's quarter and the other room for us" Tezuka froze when Fuji said the word us. So, was it only both of them?? In a room??? Looking at his captain's form, Fuji smirked in satisfaction.

"Us the third years... not us that you silly"

The brown-eyed man blinked once. Twice. Before he finally realized that the smaller man had just teased him. Trembling with fury, he shouted.

"FUJI!!"

"Jodan da yo, Tezuka [I'm joking, Tezuka]..." Fuji answered with a pink tongue sticking out between his kissable pink lips.

"Now, now... where are we again?" Momoshiro's cheerful voice could be heard in the air. They were now in the second year's apartment, in Momo's room to be exact. Momo was sitting on the bed, which was covered with purple blanket. Beside the bed, on the white wall, a tennis pro poster was there. The chibi of Seigaku tennis club dragged the spiky haired man's chair and sat in front of him. There were only both of them today since the other three of the second years were buying snacks and the other two checking on stuffs they had bought in the living room. Arai and his friends who were checking the snacks insisted that Momo should be the one dealing with Echizen since they both couldn't get really well with the -cheeky bastard-.

"Sa na..." Echizen shrugged and yawned, Momo smiled sadly as he looked at this.

"Oi, oi, don't be too bored here! You were just amazed by my apartment and now you are as boring as hell? Am I really that boring?" Momo complained as he threw himself on the awaiting comfy bed, making the blanket moved slightly.

"You are not boring Momo senpai... It's just the job. I like to be with you rather than be with my dad.." The last sentence came out as mumbles as the brat lowered his cap shyly. Momo jumped up in an instant when he heard the younger boy's confession. Echizen, the cold and emotionless boy had accepted him as someone important! A brother probably.. Unable to contain his happiness, he get up from the bed and jumped to glomp the startled first year. They were both knocked to the floor due to Momo's power.

"That hurts! Momo-senpai!!" Echizen shouted as he tried to pry the heavy and large hands but failed. His bigger senpai was too happy to let him go.

"Echizen~ finally you open up to me!"

"GAH! Get off me Momo-senpai! Baka chikara! [Stupid powerhouse!]" But Echizen pleas were not heard. Momo just kept hugging him and crushing him until the bigger man realized that he was suffocating his junior.

"Ah! Gomen!" The powerhouse apologized as he got up to look at the seemingly unconscious brat who was lying on the ground sexily. He gulped as he realized their closeness and position and gulped even more when a moan escaped from the younger man's tempting lips.

Argh! Calm yourself Momoshiro!!! First of all, you have a cute girl friend; second he is your junior! And most importantly, third, you are absolutely not GAY! Momoshiro get up, turned away from the still unconscious boy and smacked himself. Oblivious of the fact that behind him, a small form cracked a bronze eye open and smirked. The form got up and kicked his senpai hard on his ass.

The arrogant man yelped as he landed face first on the cold hard floor. Angry an embarrassed, he turned around to face grinning Echizen.

"Did I caught your libido off guard, senpai?" He grinned cheekily as he looked down at his senpai who was still rubbing his sore ass.

"Why... you insolent first year!!" Was what he uttered before he jumped up, carried the startled blue-haired, dumped him on the bed and tickled him mercilessly.

Looks like their job of would be postponed for a while. ^__^;;

Meanwhile, Arai and his friends were peeping and laughing with joy.

"Revenge sure is sweet..." Arai grinned as the sight of Echizen, who was flushed and absolutely out of breath, came into view.

"Yeah, go Momo!" The blue-haired friend cheered silently. Unknown to all of them except us, readers, there were two reasons why Arai was grinning. One because he was happy that Echizen was tortured. And the other because he could see the flushed face of his secret love... ^__^;;

Two hot guys were chatting as they walked with seven other guys. One of them, the red-hair was happily chatting to his dark-haired partner. His face was scarlet due to the excitement bubbling inside his form and the hot sun above. The other seven guys, dressed in various colors of shirts, were drowned in their own talks too however they were heading towards same direction. The big supermarket next to the newly build mall.

And finally they arrived but before they entered, the red hair stopped them dramatically with one hand.

"Now, did you guys bought the list we gave you yesterday?" His high pitched but pleasant voice shouted. A chorus of 'Hai' and 'Yes' and 'of course' soon followed him as they stretched their hands up, holding a piece of medium-sized worn out paper full with small writings.

"Now, let's rock and buy some foods!!" Kikumaru's final shout was answered with low voices.

"What's wrong with Kikumaru-senpai today?" Katchiro whispered with red face, totally embarrassed as he heard whispers around them.

"Maybe..." Horio began dramatically as he pushed the imaginary square glasses similar to Inui's. "He.. He drank one of Inui-senpai's upgraded juices and this is the side effect..! Imagine that upgraded penal tea!"

"Horio-kun!!" The dark-haired boy whined as images of Inui clad in a witch cloak, was mixing horrible ingredients for penal tea. Carrot... Tabasco... Bird Poo [*snickers* Good for your health], turnip... fresh insects... As Inui's voice rang inside their head, they cringed involuntarily.

"Oi, soko no ichinen! hayaku! [Hey, the freshmen there! Hurry up!]" Oishi shouted in impatient to call the sulking freshmen.

"Hai!" They both answered as they ran quickly to catch up their seniors.

[In the supermarket...]

They both agreed to split up. Oishi preferred to go with his double partner [obviously], Katchiro with Horio and the other two first years while the second years split themselves up. All of them agreed to meet at the cashier at 4 pm, which was three hours and forty minutes from now. Money was not a problem since Ryuzaki-sensei had given them enough money for a whole month of a food supply.

"Na, Oishi! I'm so excited! One more day until we can go to the mountains! I wonder if there is a real bear out there... My kuma will probably want to meet its friend right?" Kikumaru sighed as he hugged his imaginary bear and pouted.

So cute... Oishi thought as he smiled tenderly. He had been dating the red hair for a month now and the month was full with happiness and laughter. The dark haired man really treasured Eiji, and love him a lot. Eiji was a cheerful, kind, and a lovable person. He was lucky to have such a cute lover next to him.

"Yes, but let's just hope that your kuma's friend will not kill us ne?" Oishi teased his shorter lover as he took a box of eggs and dumped it carefully on the trolley. The red haired man pouted before he hit his friend playfully.

"Meanie~"

"I love you Eiji... zutto..." This sudden confession made Eiji blushed furiously. He gawked and gaped for a good two minutes before coming back to his senses.

"Why? Suddenly... you..." He asked, his face still red and his heart racing like mad.

"Why? So I can't confess my love to my beloved ones?" Oishi smiled and teased the boiling Eiji. The joker of Seigaku was now red from head to toe. He was just not used to this kind of forwardness, so shyly, he ran away from Oishi.

"Baka..." Softly, Eiji murmured.

Confused of this sudden run and panicked at the same time with the fear that he'd offended his lover, the dark haired man shouted, "Where are you going?"

The red hair rose up a 'V', turned around and grinned. "I'm going to get the rice!" This made Oishi smiled and he shouted an 'okay' before he checked his list and started to work, with a smile full of love of course! ^__^

In front the drug store beside the infirmary, stood a man with a yellow bandana on his head. He stood like a snake and acted like one. Hissing here and there to ward of annoying people and in the same time, waiting for his partner to come.

The drug store was not small but not huge either. It had a red cross sticking proudly in front of the white colored building. Typical... It's a square building and right in front of the streets. Kaidou was particularly leaning on a pole just beside the road that was full with cars and busses.

He was starting to get annoyed [actually, he already is] and was about to hiss at this poor policeman when Inui decided to show up. The data-man was smiling as he ran to the mamushi.

"Sorry I was late..." He apologized sincerely.

"Lucky you come before I kill that guy..." Kaidou uttered with a long hiss at the end. Inui scratched his head apologetically before he grinned and pointed at the drug store. "Shall we go?"

"Whatever..." Then they walked to the drug store.

"Oh! Actually I was late because I'm improving this..." And with that, the taller man opened his bag and took out a bottle. Inside it, a purple yellowish reddish liquid was present. Grinning devilishly, he explained and promoted at the same time.

"With added fresh ingredients and a few homemade vegetables from my house, Super Ultra Hyper Remix Penal Tea mixed with Inui's juice. Want to try it, Kaidou? It's good for youth you know..."

As he heard those sentences with horror, he shook his head quickly and paled. "No, I'll pass... Save that for buchou and Fuji-senpai..."

Inui took out his book and scribbled. "Good idea..." He mumbled then talked to himself.

"Ugh... I think we -should- go and buy the medicines now?"

"Ah yes, I almost forgot... Let's go now..." Unexpectedly, larger and firmer hands that belonged to Inui snatched his wrist. Kaidou was stunned at first and was about to jerk his hands off but then a sudden warm feeling stopped him from doing so. Inui IS his half-brother anyway... Though they didn't even, at the slightest, look a bit! Still, they were brothers... and Kaidou liked it this way...

Only his brother, Inui, could made him feel completely save and loved...

***

Meanwhile, Taka-san was off with the rest of the teams were busily preparing blankets and drinks. The burning man was holding his trusted racket as he commanded the people with passion and threats.

"BURNING! BLANKET IS ALMOST READY!!" He shouted with an awkward English making all the members sweat dropped at once.

But after all this chaos happening, they were all treated with sushi and sashimi by the gentle Taka-san, who kept apologizing over and over... ^__^;;
