Gomen! The last chapter must be really boring. I hope this'll be more
interesting.

It was the end of school and there was no practice that day. Fuji and Eiji were standing outside Fuji's locker.
" Help me make sure Tezuka isn't around," Fuji muttered from the corner of his mouth as he sieved through his fanmail for a brown envelope.
" Hoi! You said that ten times already, hurry up. I want to see them," Eiji said impatiently.
" Here," Fuji said, handing his best friend the brown envelope.
Eiji took out the photographs and stopped. " Oh my, my, my. . . "
" Good, aren't they?" Fuji said earnestly.
Eiji browsed through them, gaping at each of them, looking dumbfounded. Fuji noted satisfactorily, that Eiji's hands were shaking more and more.
Finally, Eiji looked up and stared at Fuji, appalled. " Fuji, you are a genius. How did you manage to get all of these. I mean, it's totally impossible to catch Tezuka at it."
" They are good," Fuji said, looking accomplished.
" What do you mean?"
" Look at the photographs, do you think Tezuka was enjoying it?" Fuji asked.
" Of course, look at . . . "
" No he wasn't," Fuji said and smiled. " It was one-sided. If you get my meaning."
Eiji continued looking stunned." Fuji, you're good at everything and. . . "
" . . . you will please be a good boy and hand them over," said a voice behind them. Eiji jumped and turned around. Fuji wasn't surprised. He knew Oishi would come sooner or later.
" No," Fuji grabbed the photographs from Eiji and stuffed them into the brown envelope hastily before trusting it into his locker and slamming it. He stood in front of his locker protectively and gave Oishi a winning smile.
" Eiji, looks like we aren't going for burgers unless Fuji gives up the photographs," Oishi stared at Fuji fixedly, arms folded.
" I'm sorry Eiji, you can't have your burgers today," Fuji smiled annoyingly at Eiji and back at Oishi. Eiji made no reply. Instead, he stared at his two friends back and forth.
" Fuji? Look at it this way, what did Tezuka do to you for him to deserve this from you?" Oishi sighed.
Fuji's smile was transfixed on his face. Oishi did have a point there. " He's just fun to tease about."
" I think this has gone too far," Oishi said reasonably. Suddenly, he turned to Eiji and said," Eiji, meet you at there in fifteen minutes."
" Nya, ok," Eiji looked worriedly at both of them before disappeared down the hallway in the crowds of students.
" Look, Fuji, you're giving Tezuka more problems than what he asked for."
" Of course!"
RINGGGGGGGGGG! Fuji's mobile phone rang.
" Oh well, I'll go and meet Eiji now. . . " Oishi said, checking his watch.
" See you!" Fuji said as he put the phone to his ear. Fuji acknowledged Oishi's wave
" ANIKI!"
Fuji blinked. " Yuuta!"
" Aniki! What did you do to Mizuki?" Yuuta yelled. Fuji had to jerk the phone away from his ear.
" What do you mean?" Fuji pretended innocence.
" Mizuki! He didn't come to school yesterday and today. I'm now at his house. . . " Yuuta stopped, breathless.
" And?"
" And he doesn't even know my name," Yuuta sobbed.
" GOOD!"
" Aniki! I knew this was all your fault, COME AND PUT MIZUKI RIGHT, THIS INSTANCE," Yuuta bellowed.
" Only if you give me a hug," Fuji grinned evilly.
" WHAT!!??"
" Look, it isn't my fault that Mizuki drank from the water bottle. . . "
" The water bottle? The water bot - THUD!"
" Hello? Yuuta? YUUTA?" Fuji looked the screen on his phone and a horrifying thought hit him.
" Perhaps your joke went too far," said a voice. Fuji spun around and saw Inui's head sticking out from behind the lockers.
" Inui? Could you make a " Recovery Juice"? " Fuji asked desperately. Perhaps this was the first time he was desperate. He would never forgive himself if Yuuta got food poisoning all because of him. " Not unless . . . you give up the photographs you took of Tezuka and Atobe," Inui said.
" What? Why? How?" Fuji stopped.
" You can't hide anything from me," Inui said, waving his notebook. " Besides, you can't possibly ignore a captain's harsh treatments. I calculated that it multiplied by at least 100%. Tezuka made us run laps yesterday and even made me drink my own juice!"
" That's your problem. You shouldn't make juices that you yourself can't drink," said Fuji smugly.
" So's Yuuta. That's also your problem," Inui said stubbornly. " No photos, no juice, no Yuuta, 100%."
" Wait! Fine, I'll give you the photos, just cure Yuuta." Fuji said.
" Well no, you give the photos to Tezuka yourself," Inui said. " THEN, I'll make you the juice."
Fuji blinked again. " Give to Tezuka . . . myself? You're kidding right?"
" No, I'm not, no photos to Tezuka, more laps, more laps means no juice which means, no Yuuta," Inui calculated. " Hm, my logic is getting better."
" Inui! You're not serious, are you?" Fuji said.
" You heard me," Inui said, walking away, notebook in hand.
Right. How did I get myself stuck in this mess? Fuji thought angrily. Maybe life is never perfect, not even for a sadist.
********
" No photos, no juice, no Yuuta, 100%." The words echoed in Fuji's head. Fuji felt a sense of guilt. Yuuta. Inui's juice. He better be okay.
Fuji picked his way down the hallway. Or maybe he should just sneak it into Tezuka's locker. He wouldn't have to face Tezuka and he could rush off to meet his brother, or rather, 'cure' his brother.
" Fuji?" It was Tezuka.
" Hello! Tezuka!" Fuji replied with his usual greeting.
" What are YOU doing here?" Tezuka asked. He was obviously trying his best to contain his anger.
" Here," Fuji said, thrusting the envelope into Tezuka's hands.
" I don't believe this!" Tezuka glared at Fuji. " There, you were taking the photographs, and now you come back, as if nothing's happened!"
" I've given you back your photographs," Fuji snapped irritably. The last thing he wanted now was for Tezuka to give him a showdown when Yuuta was in trouble.
" That's not the point!" Tezuka said icily.
" Look! I don't have time for any of this!" Fuji snapped. Eyes flashing angrily, he spun on his heels and ran down the hallway.
" FUJIIIIIII!"
******** (Ok, I decided to keep the Tezu/Ato pairing, so it's changed. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!)
(Sorry, this chapter's fuji was ooc, I promise I wont make him so ooc in the later chapters! Hoi!)
