The a new school will be making their appearance in their chapter… let's see what or how Eiji gets them into this mess…. -evil laugh-… Well, I guess I should stop typing the author's note and let you read ne? Happy Reading!! Onward!!

"Awww… please Taka-chan?!" pleaded Eiji as he clasped his hands together, begging Takashi giving him a puppy dog look (or Puss in Boots's look if any of you have seen Shrek 2)

"Gomen nasai Eiji, but I can't leave the house that late," apologized Takashi.

"Awwww……." whined Eiji in disappointment. "Hoi hoi! I'll just have to ask someone else then nya…" So far, he had tried to get Momoshiro, Kaidoh, even data master Inui, and now Takashi to help him. He would've asked Ochibi but he already knew, despite how strong the kid was in tennis, this took physical strength and he didn't want to wake the poor kid up in the middle of the night. There was only one person left and that person was the infamous Tezuka Kunimitsu…

Tezuka began slowly to walk him as the white snow crunched under his boots. Houses were decorated nicely and children could be heard laughing merrily. Tezuka couldn't help but keep thinking about what Eiji had said about Fuji. True, spending Christmas alone was well… alone but it didn't mean that Eiji had to go to the extremes to make Christmas perfect for just one person right? But then again, it was Eiji's personality to spread joy and Oishi's personality to help people. The two of them combined, made the Golden Pair and now Golden Pair was doing something special for certain tennis prodigy.

'It's a nice thing to do,' thought Tezuka. 'No one should have to spend Christmas alone.' Tezuka's thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of two pairs of running feet and voices calling his name. Tezuka stopped and Oishi and Kikumaru stopped before him panting. Despite the fact they had suffered from Inui's evil, poisonous drinks, and running laps under 55 seconds, it really paid off when you had to run from the school to Tezuka who was over 10 blocks away.

"Tezuka…" said Oishi once he caught his breathe. "Can we ask you do us a favour?" Tezuka thought for a moment. Seeing the desperate plea from Kikumaru and look Oishi was giving him, Tezuka had to think for a couple of seconds. Although he didn't want to admit it, but Tezuka liked the idea of making a perfect Christmas for Fuji to enjoy. 'Kikumaru must be really rubbing off on me.' thought Tezuka. He would've smirked at the thought but kept a straight face.

"What is it?"

Kikumaru Eiji wandered around the dorms of St. Rudolph…. Completely lost.

"Nya!! Why does St. Rudolph have to be sooooo big?!" pondered Eiji out loud. He had been to the cafeteria, the washrooms, the classrooms of the first, second and even the third years, the teacher's lounge, sent to the detention room by a teacher who thought Eiji was a student of St. Rudolph because he didn't have his uniform on, almost to the principal's office, the janitor's office, the 4 gyms, the fitness room, the entertainment room (which he enjoyed), the school gardens which were covered by snow, the school's kitchen (another placed he enjoyed and was sure that Ochibi and Momo would enjoy as well), the technology room, and gods knows where else and now here he was, in the dorms building, searching for the one and only Yuuta.

Eiji felt like pulling out his hair.

"Nya!! Why do these things happen to me nya?!!" he yelled, receiving a few stares from bystanders. "Blah… where can Yuuta-ni-chan be nya?" Eiji continued around the dorms until he came across the St. Rudolph changing rooms by accident. Meaning, he tripped and knocked the door open slightly. Eiji blushed brightly and quickly retreated but then an idea formed in his head. Holding back a smirk, he pulled out a camera from his pocket and snapped a picture of the unknowing changing victims. From experience, Eiji knew that carrying a camera with him 24/7 was a good idea, especially if you had Fuji as your best friend. Eiji laughed evilly to himself before continued his trek to look for Fuji Yuuta, after sprinting down the hallways like a madman, as he tried to escape the scene of the crime… Maybe Eiji had been hanging around Fuji a little too much…

"What was that dane?" asked Yanagisawa looking up from a flash at the door. Everyone was present except for Yuuta was had just stepped out of the showers.

"What was what?" asked Yuuta as he opened his locker to get his clothing.

"That flash dane!" replied Yanagisawa. Yuuta shrugged unknowingly.

"It's probably your imagination," said Akazawa, their buchou as he slipped his shirt on and grabbed his racket, placing it in his bag.

"Practice is over. Practices will resume after the holidays," said Mizuki as he picked up his bag. "I except to see you all at practice on the first day." With that, he left.

Yuuta was heading toward his dorm along with Yanagisawa, and Kisarazu (his the guy that has a twin and a red ribbon tied around his head for those who don't know) when all of a sudden…

"NYA!! YUUTA-CHIBI-CHAN!!" Yuuta was glomped by none other than Kikumaru Eiji. Yuuta cried in surprise while Yanagisawa and Kisarazu watched on the sidelines. "Hoi Hoi! I'm so happy I found you ochibi!!" Eiji mocked sobbed as Yuuta attempted to get out of Eiji's death defying hug.

"Eiji-ni-chan!! Let me go!!" exclaimed Yuuta through gritted teeth. "I can't breathe!!" Several minutes passed

"Oi!" said Yanagisawa. "Aren't you from Seigaku dane?"

"Yosh! You bet I am!" chirped Eiji releasing Yuuta from his hug as he flashed a victory sign and a wink.

"Then what are you doing here dane?" asked Yanagisawa.

"I'm here to convince ochibi-chan to come home for Christmas!!" answered Eiji nudging Yuuta.

"Home for Christmas?" repeated Kisarazu as he adjusted the red ribbon around his head. "Yuuta, aren't you going home for Christmas?" Yuuta fumed. He had no intention to go home for Christmas, not if it was just him and Fuji. God only knows what horror his aniki would put him through but then again, he did miss his home…

"Well… I-I…"

"You should go home," said Kisarazu interrupting Yuuta. "It be nice." Kisarazu was going home for Christmas to see his family and most importantly, his twin brother.

"Hai! Be a good little Fuji's brother and go home to his aniki for Christmas dane!" Yuuta immediately whacked Yanagisawa across the head. How many times did he have to repeat it?! He was Fuji Yuuta. Not Fuji Syusuke. But Yuuta. Not Syusuke. But Y-U-U-T-A!! Yuuta's eyebrow twitched annoyingly. Just for that, he was not going to go home.

"I'm not going home for Christmas. I wanna spend Christmas here," stated Yuuta stubbornly as he crossed his arms stubbornly.

"Ok," was Eiji's reply, shocking Yuuta. He had expected Eiji to grabbed him and tell him to go home. Was he giving up? Eiji sighed and put an arm over Yuuta's shoulder.

"I'm going to go now, but just before I go, I'm going to tell you a story…" said Eiji as they all listened to Eiji. "Once upon a time, there lived a young boy. He loved to play tennis and his little brother was his hero. His little brother played tennis very well. The young boy soon fell ill with an incurable sickness and was in the hospital. His little brother promised his aniki that if he won the next tennis match in straight sets, his aniki would get better. His aniki believed in his little brother but sadly, his little brother slept in the day of the tournament and had to forfeit. His little brother had destroyed the hopes and dreams of his aniki. His aniki was so disappointed and so sad that he caught a cold and died."

Yanagisawa was in tears while Kisarazu had an unreadable expression.

"That was so sad dane…" sniffed Yanagisawa.

"I thought you said that the sickness was incurable," said Yuuta with a frown. Eiji mentally smacked himself. Kaidoh had said the exact same thing. Eiji made a mental note to change that part of the story for next time he needed to use it.

"The point is ochibi, Fujiko-chan is all alone this Christmas and that is already a sickness nya!! If someone doesn't come and cheer him up, he may die from catching a worsen case of the Christmas blues!! You don't want to disappoint your aniki now would you? Destroy his hope for a family Christmas?" Yuuta sighed.

"Fine… I'll come home…"

"YATTA!!" cheered Eiji loudly as he bounced up and down. "I'll come and get you later ochibi!! For now, I have a few things to do!! Bai Bai!!" Eiji began bouncing down the hallway.

"Where is he going dane?" wondered Yanagisawa out loud. "Isn't that the direction to the girls' dorm dane?" Yuuta and Kisarazu looked at each other in horror before sprinting down the hallway after a unsuspecting, bouncing Kikumaru Eiji.

Akazawa and the rest of the Regulars of St. Rudolph had no choice but to comply with his demands. Or else… they'd be doom, meaning, a very certain picture, of a very certain group of tennis players, in a very certain changing room, in nothing but their underwear, would be known to the entire city of Tokyo, Japan, thus the reputation of a very certain school and a very certain group of tennis players whom in that very certain picture would be ever destroyed by a very certain hyper active acrobatic red head Seigaku tennis player who has been hanging around a very certain sadistic Seigaku tennis prodigy way too much. Or so the buchou and Mizuki thought… Kisarazu, Kaneda, Yanagisawa and Nomura didn't mind since their 'blackmailer' had already had a 'meeting' with them in private and had given them a nice 'deal'. It was Mizuki and Akazawa that weren't too happy with the demands… They all snickered behind the backs of their captain and manager at the chaos that would soon ensue.
As the last few days of school went by, Fuji only felt worst. Everyone seemed to be in a bright and happy mode. Even Tezuka seemed to be a bit nicer than usual. He didn't make them run laps when Momo and Kadioh once again had another fight or when Fuji was five minutes late for practice. People were receiving and giving gifts. Of course Fuji had given all of his friends gifts but when they had all forgotten about him for whatever reason, Fuji of course smiled understandingly but he felt a little hurt. Unknown to Fuji, Eiji had to try so hard to hide his plans.

The tensai often noticed small things about Eiji especially when he was hiding something but Fuji had the Christmas blues and wasn't playing much attention, much to Eiji's relief. Over the past couple of days, Eiji had collected all the gifts for Fuji and stashed them in the most unsuspecting place, under his bed. As the last day came to a close, everyone bid their goodbyes and best wishes for the holidays. It once again began to snow gently as Fuji began his trek home. Snow was so beautiful. He always loved the snow, even as a child. He, and Yuuta would always make a snowman in front of their house on Christmas eve to welcome Santa. Fuji smiled sadly, knowing that this year he and Yuuta would not be making a snowman to welcome Santa as he continued home…

Author's Notes: I am really tempted to change the title to 'A Seigaku and St. Rudolph Christmas'. Maybe I should… hmmm…. Blah… I dunno know no more… leave me a review and your thoughts!! Constructive criticism is always welcomed!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
