Pairings: Fuji/Ryoma

Rating: PG-13 (May become R in the next chapter. I'm not sure yet. Depends on how it pans out)

Summary: Fuji feels Ryoma is catching up to him, and finds a most unconventional way to halt the process. Or at least, try to. FujiRyo

Warnings: None really. Unless you don't like yaoi and shonen-ai. Then run far far away.

Notes: Thanks for all the lovely reviews. Responces at the end of the chapter. I hope you continue to enjoy the story. It should only be one or two chapters more.

--------------------

I watch Echizen closely during practice, but do not approach him. He is playing a match against Momoshiro and is leading, much to Momo's annoyance.

"Ne, Momo-senpai, mada mada dane." The freshman provokes.

"Che! ECHIZEN! You brat! I'll make you eat your words!" Momoshiro replies heatedly with a Dunk Smash.

"Saa, I'd like to see you try, Momo-senpai," Ryoma easily counters the move.

Watching Echizen play is a thrilling experience. I watch the muscles in his small yet limber body flex and stretch as he easily runs across the court. A small sheen of sweat glistens on his brow. Despite his goading, Momoshiro isn't an easy win. Yet this hardly bothers Ryoma. In fact he seems to relish the challenge. Hnn... looks like Momoshiro has been training recently. I'll have to keep my eye on him. But, for now my focus is solely on Echizen.

The match continues on for a while longer before Ryoma takes the victory with a score of 6-3.

I hadn't realized just how strong he'd gotten until watching him blow Hyotei's Wakashi Hiyoshi away. The game was so fast, I was afraid to look away for fear I might miss something. Ahhh, what an amazing game. Hiyoshi hadn't stood a chance. I wonder what it would take to unleash that potential once again.

"Fuji." I look up to find Tezuka staring at me attentively. I smile at him brightly.

"Hai?"

"What are you planning?" He narrows his eyes minutely.

"Planning? What are you talking about Buchou." I ask innocently. Tezuka looks at me skeptically.

"Whatever you're planning for Echizen had better not get in the way of his training."

"Eh, whatever do you mean?"

"I mean it Fuji. Don't get in his way."

"Hnn. I won't. I promise."

Tezuka looks at me sharply.

"Ah! Oops. I let the cat out of the bag." I say with a smile and chuckle. "No problems, no problems."

"Hnn..." And with that he turns his attention back to the matches currently playing.

I return my attention to Echizen. He's currently sitting out to study the other games. His eyes lift briefly and meet mine from across the court. I hold my breath as his golden gaze studies me critically and perhaps a bit curiously as well. Our gazes locked for several minutes until it was broken by Momoshiro, who suddenly threw a clean towel over Ryoma's head.

The freshman rips the towel from his head and glares at the junior annoyed.

"Momo-senpai! What was that for?!"

"Just helping you out. You looked like you could use it" Momoshiro replies innocently. I narrow my eyes at him.

"Mada mada dane." Ryoma grumbles under his breath, and tugs his cap down over his face.

Despite the interruption, and my annoyance at Momoshiro, I smile at his reaction. Typical Echizen.

Ah. I almost can't wait until practice is over.

--------------------

Notes: Ah, sorry there's no action yet. Definitely next chapter. ) I wanted to get this out fast so I can concentrate on getting their meeting right. I'm having a bit of trouble with my muses and keeping everyone in character. Forgive me. bows I'll make it up to you with some good FujiRyo soon so sit tight. And next chapter will definitely be longer too. Technically, I should be working on schoolwork right now, so you're lucky I found time to do anything at all. I can't wait for break.

Ah also. I'm having trouble finding good Ryoma fics(outside of ) could any of you send me some links if you have any. Thank you. XD

Also, is it just me or do half the tenipuri characters look older than junior high. Except for the freshmen. I dunno, been awhile since I was in junior high but I don't remember any guys being that hot and muscled up even if they were into sports... vv Maybe I was just unlucky. s

Thanks for all the lovely reviews, guys!

Blue Orbs-Blue: I'm glad you like my story so far. Your stories were some of the first Tenipuri ones I've read and I love them. )

KikuBeam: Kawaii name!!! I'm a fan of Fuji's sadistic side as well. I hope I do it justice. Nyan! Lemon is possible. If I do a lemon I'll probably edit it out for , but will put a link to it unsensored elsewhere. I don't like taking chances here. It depends on how lemony it gets. I haven't let the sadistic Fuji muse out yet, so it'll be up to him in the end. Poor Ryoma-kun. XD As for the plan, well, I don't want to spoil it for you. ;)

jia: Sorry no real FujiRyo yet(only hints at it. Next chapter things will get more interesting. I promise. ;)

Amasaki Reyoko: You'll have to wait to find out. I hope something good will happen. 3

RuByMoOn17: Don't worry. They will. )

lady of the myst: Yes we do. Too many FujiRyo fics are rated G and PG. XP

...: No, there aren't enough FujiRyo out there. XD You won't have to wait much longer

firedraygon97: Hmm. I don't know if it's that he doesn't realize he's interested in Ryoma. I mean, he knows he's interested in his tennis, but perhaps he hasn't been stimulated enough quite yet. Nyaan. XD

Angel72: Sorry about the shortness. Once school slows down I'll have more time to devote to my fics, but I'm lucky to find time to do even this much. College sucks. Gyah!
