Rikkai: Case 1

"Our next opponent will be Fudomine. Nothing should stop us from winning. I expect nothing lower than your usual standard. Dismissed."

Sanada was done with his de-brief, marking an end to that day's training. The Rikkai team cleared the courts and proceeded to the clubhouse to pack up.

"Yagyuu, Niou."

The two said boys stopped and turned around to face the data-man of their team.

"You might be interested in my new findings."

Niou lifted an eyebrow, while Yagyuu just appeared to be as normal as can be.

"Which is?"

Yanagi flipped thorough his information to reconfirm the statistics before starting off.

"I have noted that in the previous game, Fudomine put Kamio Akira and Ibu Shinji as their first doubles pairing instead of them playing singles as usual. And to my surprise, they delivered exceptionally well. They had thrashed their previous opponent by 6-0, the opponent not scoring a single point."

"And so?" Yagyuu asked as he pushed his spectacles up.

"Yeah, and so? It's not like we're going to get thrashed by them by 6-0. Impossible."

"The thing is, they have been making tremendous improvement at an astonishingly rapid rate."

Niou smirked and casually slung his hand across Yagyuu's shoulders.

"Even if they can beat Niou and Yagyuu, I'm sure they can't handle Niou and Niou, or Yagyuu and Yagyuu. You're worrying too much, there's no way we will lose."

"Well, I've managed to find out the possible reasons for their outstanding performance. The most suspicious one being a website, www. fanfiction. net. Of course, I believe that you'll have no problem defeating them, but if the website contains anything that might improve your doubles play, then why not?"

Niou let go of Yagyuu and turned to walk away, disinterested. The bespectacled boy politely took a bow and went along with his partner.

"We'll look into it. Thank you."


Yagyuu Residence

Yagyuu had half-dragged the unwilling Niou to his house so that they could check out that website Yanagi had told them about. They could win, sure. But if that website did have such an astounding impact on the Fudomine duo, they might as well check it out too, and all the better if it really served a purpose in improving their doubles play. Niou had never been interested in Yanagi's data, but Yagyuu always managed to convince him to trust the data. This time was no exception. Though Niou was still unwilling to visit the website, Yagyuu managed to persuade him to sit through it while he read up. Once they reached Yagyuu's room, Niou took out a pair of spectacles from his bag and put it on. He then smoothened out his hair in a Yagyuu-fashion.

"What's that for, Niou?"

"Niou didn't come, Yagyuu. He doesn't read data."

"What's that for, Yagyuu?"

"What's what for? I've always been like this." Niou-Yagyuu replied coldly.

Yagyuu ignored his look-alike and focused his attention to the computer. Niou-Yagyuu sat down beside him and scrutinized the web page in silence, before taking hold of the mouse and clicking on a random title that said NiouYagyuu pairing. Yagyuu let the other boy take control of the mouse and just settled with reading whatever he clicked on… They both read in silence, adjusting their spectacles once in awhile for more comfort. Pretty soon, both Yagyuu's were beginning to lose their cool. There was definitely nothing tennis related in that page. Just like the situation they were in, there were two Yagyuu's in the story. And both of them were stripping themselves. Yes, Yagyuu was stripping Yagyuu. Not long after that, Yagyuu pounced on to Yagyuu and started nibbling on his neck the way Niou would. The next moment, both Yagyuu's' turned into Niou and started doing things the wild way Niou would. It was only after reading the fic that the both of them actually understood how confusing their impersonating was to a third party. Both of them had to read the story a few times to really catch which Yagyuu was Yagyuu and which Niou was Niou. They have been used to seeing their opponents get confused by their impersonations, but they never knew what it was like from their opponent's point of view. It was pretty simple changing their looks and personalities in a snap, because they had practiced over and over again until both had the personality of the other in them. And they took it for granted that everyone would be confused by their change. Little did they expect they themselves would be confused by their own tactic. Reading fan fiction had indeed increased their knowledge on their impersonation skills.

Niou-Yagyuu stood up and removed his spectacles, placing it carefully on Yagyuu's desk while his free hand ran through his hair and messed it up methodically. Returning to his Niou self, Niou smirked at his doubles partner, who was still rooted to the chair.

"That wasn't so bad. Yagyuu enjoyed it. It's time for Niou to enjoy."

He reached for Yagyuu's spectacles and swiftly took them off, placing it next to the pair that was already on the desk. He sank into Yagyuu's lap, straddling the slightly taller boy. Both his hands disappeared into Yagyuu's neatly combed hair and messed it up the way he did his hair. Looking deeply into the boy's eyes, he decreased the distance between their faces and playfully licked Yagyuu's lips.

"Hello, Niou."

"Hello, Niou."

Niou smiled in satisfaction, glad that Yagyuu was playing along the way he wanted. He ran his hands down Yagyuu-Niou's chest and latched them around his waist. The latter grabbed Niou's shoulders and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Tongues found their way into the familiar caverns, fumbling and fighting in utmost pleasure, leaving both Niou's breathless and flushed. They broke away in perfect synchronization, and smirked at each other smugly.

"You're getting horny, Niou."

"So are you, Niou."

Yagyuu-Niou leaned over Niou to switch off the computer. Niou took the chance to slip his slender hand into the other's pants, startling the other boy. But being Niou, Yagyuu-Niou had his smug expression back on almost instantly.

"Getting impatient aren't you, Niou?"

"It was all Yagyuu's fault. So much for reading fan fiction. Got me all worked up."

Yagyuu-Niou skillfully undid the buttons on Niou's shirt and attacked his bare neck aggressively, earning moans of pleasure from 'himself'. Niou withdrew his hands and grabbed his boyfriend's wrists. Yagyuu-Niou looked up into his lover's eyes, reading and understanding the meanings it held. Yet another smirk stretched across his face. He placed his hands firmly around Niou's waist and placed a kiss on the boy's luscious lips.

"Understood. To the bed."

A lustful smile surfaced on Niou's face as he slowly moved off Yagyuu-Niou's lap and pulled the latter out of the chair as well. He then dragged the other boy by the waistband of his pants, towards the ever-inviting 'cradle of love'…

-owari for now-


lovewaya-isumi: more Shinji/Kamio? i'll try, really. but i can't guarantee though. but i promise to try my best.

Hakudoshi-chan: Shinji told me to tell you this... " what do you mean its awesome? You think being kissed by Akira is awesome? This author is crazy, and this fic is totally absurd. Why should Akira kiss me? He should go kiss Ann-chan since he likes her. but actually i quite like it though, even if he's a guy and i'm a guy and even if it won't help us beat that irritating 'mada mada da ne' brat. but then again we are both guys and isn't that wrong? we don't even know if Tachibana-buchou is going to allow this kind of thing to happen..." -knocked out by author-

Rain: i'm not sure how long i can keep up with this actually. hopefully i can finish up all the usual pairings. will all depend on my miserably puny brain and the response from the readers.
