= = Chapter 5 - Allow me to go out with your son = =
A recap of the last chapter - The entire group of Seigaku, a few members of Yamabuki, and Fudomine, plus the whole team of Hyotei had started a competition of tennis and it is said that the winners are able to ask any and only one person for only one single favour. Thus the winners were Atobe and Shishido of Hyotei. Although they were both winners, however the favours that the teenagers have longed for in their minds, have instead been fulfilled unknowingly by other circumstances.
In the end, not many of the competitors have survived from Inui's special creations, the winners did not get a chance to ask Ryoma-kun a favour, and the trio - Ryoma, Tezuka and Akira were walking away from the courts.
And so, Akira have 'asked' Tezuka-buchou to 'carry' Ryoma-kun back to their house because the boy was extremely tired. Since the son of the Echizen family has fallen asleep on Tezuka's back, we are to count on Akira to bring them home...
"Akira-san.... are you sure this is the way?" Tezuka Kunimitsu asked while carrying a sleeping Ryoma-kun on his back in a piggy-back style.
"Of course!! I'm pretty sure!! Look!" Echizen Akira, carrying Ryoma's bag in one shoulder, she pointed at her own map and showed it to Tezuka.
The map's directions looked like it was a doodle work of a three year old. The map is a squared page, with a drawing of the town on the top right corner, a road drawn diagonally straight towards the bottom left corner of the page, which at the end it said 'Echizen's house. And there was a brown dog poorly drawn on the left side of the grey road, and Seishun Gakuen is on the right side of the road. ... Hey wait a second...
"Once we find that dog I'm sure we'll reach home in no time!!" Akira proudly informed.
"...................." THAT IS A MAP!? Tezuka, although still expressionless looking, deep inside his heart he was horrified. "Ano.... Akira-san?"
"Hai?" Akira brightly smiled back.
".....Would it be okay if I lead the way instead?" We'll never reach Ryoma-kun's house with haste in this state.
"................. You mean.........." Akira's face suddenly lost her smile, "You don't mean......... I will only get in the way of reaching home faster?"
"Ii...Iya....." Why is it I now suddenly felt something bad will happen?
"I see..... so I am the one causing the burden.... does that mean you're telling me that we got lost huh?"
She...she became quite dull and cold... "No... I didn't mean it that way Akira-san-"
"Oh well, but since you know the way, that'll make things much more easier!!" Akira's smile suddenly recovered. "Alrighty! Lead the way brother-in-law!!"
"Ha?" Tezuka blushed and sweatdropped. Did I hear that right?
"I said lead the way Tezuka-kun," Akira grinned.
"Oh...." Must have heard that wrong then....
"Hnnn---Hnn--," Akira began to hum her tune again. Ara ara, that SO unconsciously slipped out of my mouth... heheheh.....
And so our trio began to walk (One more time?) again.
= = = = =
On the other hand, in Echizen's house....
"[sighs]....." Echizen Nanjirou sighed for the nth time today. He was lying on the stone structured stand were he was supposed to knock the metal gong bell. He had an adult magazine opened and covered on his face, randomly kicking his legs from time to time.
"Oji-sama--!" His niece Nanako came calling for him. "Ah, there you are Oji-sama!!"
"....zzzzzz" Nanjirou pretended to be asleep.
"# Mou--Oji-sama!!" Nanako pulled the hentai magazine away from the monk, revealing a wide-eyed Nanjirou. "Oba-sama called for you!!"
"Oh?" Rinko called for me? "What is it that she wanted?" Nanjirou sat up.
"I don't know, she just wanted to see you for a minute. Come on Oji-sama!"
"Hai, hai..." Since Honey called, I better make haste.
While Nanjirou was walking in a playfully wavery manner, on the other hand at the entrance of the Echizen house stood Akira and Tezuka with Ryoma still asleep on the Buchou's back.
"Tadaima!" Akira's voice called out.
Really!? "Akira-chan----!!!" Nanjirou came flying to the entrance to greet his daughter. Before he could pounce on the smiling girl, he noticed an extra person standing at the door. He immediately stopped dead on his tracks and pointed at Tezuka, "Hey Akira, this person is...?"
"Ara Otou-san, he's a friend of mine, Ryu-kun's-"
"-Ryu-kun's...I know! You're a teacher of that stupid son of mine?" Nanjirou grinned, rewarding a halt smiling Akira and Tezuka's glasses somehow reflected light.
"...Otou-san....that is rather...incorrect..." Akira stared at her father with unbelievable eyes.
"Echizen-san, I'm Seigaku's tennis club's captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu desu," Tezuka informed the old man.
"Eh? Oh, you're the Buchou of the tennis team? My, my, me bad, me bad," Nanjirou rubbed the back of his head with an apologizing look on his face. Hey...wait a sec... "Now wait just a minute! Why are you two back home together!? Where's that stupid son of mine!?"
"Otou-san, please stop calling Ryoma that!" Akira snapped.
"Hai, hai, whatever, just where is that seishounen then?"
"Over there," Akira pointed at where the lad is carried on Tezuka's back. As soon as Nanjirou sees this, he laughed aloud, "Fwahahaha!!! Seishounen!!!"
"Ano..." Tezuka attempted to get attention. Ryoma-kun will wake up this way.....
"Mou-- Otou-san, you'll wake Ryoma up!" Akira whispered.
"AHAHAHAHA-AAAHH-AHHHHHH!!!!!!" Nanjirou's laughed suddenly turned out in a cry of pain.
"# # Anata!!!!" Oh, it's because Nanjirou's mother - Rinko, was here! Yes, she summoned her husband a few minutes ago, she waited for him, and Nanako was back to her before her husband was! So she decided to check him out, her niece and her own self went out to look for him and the next thing is seeing her daughter and her son back with a friend, her husband just talking to them there and not invitating the young lad (Tezuka) to come inside. Rinko, finally decided to go over and pull her husband's ear to get his attention. "Mou-- I thought I said I wanted to have a word with you!"
"ItaiItaiItaiItai!!! Le-let go honey dear--!!" Nanjirou cried.
"Oji-sama, you made Oba-sama wait," Nanako kindly explained.
Finally, Rinko released her grip on her husband's ear, while Nanjirou was rubbing his ear in tears, Rinko gave a small bow and smiled at Tezuka, "You're a friend of Ryoma's and Akira's? Please, do come on in," as Rinko said that, she motioned Nanako to lead the way.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu desu. Yoroshiku," Tezuka said as he stepped out of his shoes and began to move inside.
"Anata, bring Ryoma to his room," Rinko ordered.
"Hai, Hai," Damn seishounen for sleeping so peacefully # # #
"Anata." Rinko warned.
"Yes Honey-dear," Nanjirou lifted his son and quickly proceeded upstairs. God knows that his wife has quite a temper sometimes.
As soon as Nanjirou fled up the stairs, Rinko, Nanako and Akira lead Tezuka to the sitting room. While Rinko motioned Tezuka to sit down on the flat cushions on the tatami floor, Nanako took Ryoma's racket bag away from Akira to put it back in place and went to make some tea. Thus, it left the sitting room of Rinko, Akira and Tezuka.
"Don't worry, mother is a reasonable person, just be honest with whatever the topic is," Akira said as she smiled at the anxious Buchou. "Okaa-san, I'm off to find Karupin, I'll be back in a sec," the daughter excused herself.
"Ah," Rinko smiled back.
So this is Ryoma-kun's family. Tezuka noted. As soon as he stepped straight into this territory, he was surprised to see the actual size of Ryoma-kun's house. Even in the sitting room now, there's a TV in the corner of the room and a coffee table in the center of the room. He observed the married woman before him. I suppose Akira-san inheritted most of her mother's side. And Ryoma-kun really looks like his mother as well. Before Tezuka could continue to examine and think more, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Rinko.
"Ano... Tezuka-kun is it? I thank you for looking after our Ryoma in school," Rinko beamed and bowed.
"Ah... thanks for your compliment Echizen-san. I'm just doing my part as Echizen's senpai," Tezuka also bowed.
"Oh?" Rinko give the lad a suspicious look, "Really?"
"Uh..hai Echizen-san..."
"Now, now, I know that Ryoma may be my only son, but that doesn't mean I don't want him not to have happiness."
"Uh?"
"Tell me Tezuka-kun, what do you think of our Ryoma?" Rinko smiled.
Eh!? Well.... he's actually quite cute and all...no! No! What am I thinking!? "E-Echizen, well he's quite an amazing tennis player, though he's late for morning practice most of the time, he's still quite-"
"No, no," Rinko sighed. Seems like he's just as clueless as Akira have mentioned.
"Ne Okaa-san, how's it going?" Akira finally appeared with the pet of the house in her arms.
"Ara Akira," Rinko greeted her daughter as Akira sat down beside Tezuka. "Well, I'll be back in a second, it's taking Nanako a while to prepare the tea, will you keep Tezuka company for a while?"
"Sure," Akira waved as her mother excused herself and the smiling girl then glanced over at Tezuka, "Yare yare, seems like you're still lost in a puddle of clouds."
"..............." Tezuka eyed at her with confusion.
"Hmm.... I guess it's time to awaken your heart...."
"...?"
"Tezuka-kun, don't you think Ryu-kun is kawaii?"
"Ha? " K-Kawaii!?
"I'm sure you do." Heheh... looks like the icicle mountain DOES have other expressions... "Then, how about the thought of encircling your arms around Ryu-kun, and pulling him close against your chest, feeling his breathing and the life of sound pounding within his heart against yours and having your face all heated up and-"
"AH-A-Ano...." It is definitely a rare sight to see the King of Seigaku blush.
"Well, what do you think, have any of the things I've mentioned came through your minds?"
"....Do...do you know why? "
"Listen well, Tezuka-kun," Akira looked at him with a straight and serious face, "You are in love with Ryoma, Te-zu-ka-kun--," Akira grinned.
"L-L-l--" poor buchou must have catch his own tongue. How out of character is that?
"Remember back when Fuji-kun and the others were so close to Ryoma and you had a feeling you want to separate them?" Akira received a nod from a shock Tezuka, "Well, it's because you-" Akira pointed her index finger in Tezuka's chest, "-are jealous, because you LIKE Ryu-kun."
So all this time it was.... Tezuka mildly blushed at the news that have just exposed to him as he brought his left hand to cover his face or something. Akira smiled as she removed his finger from Tezuka and petted Karupin in her arms.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting," Nanako said as she brought a tray that consisted of cups, a teapot and plates of cakes to the living room. She placed the tea accessories on the table, "Akira-chan, Oba-sama have just gone to look at Ryoma-san," the older cousin informed and then looked at Tezuka, "Ano, I'm Ryoma-san's cousin, Nanako, nice to meet you sensei," Nanako politely greeted.
"Heheheh...Maa maa, Nanako-chan that's not it, he's Ryoma's senpai, buchou of the tennis club," Akira explained.
"Eh!? I'm... I'm sorry!!" Nanako immediately apologized.
"Iya....betsuni..." Tezuka said. Do I really look that old?
Suddenly a cry was heard from upstairs and Rinko have returned to the living room pulling Nanjirou with her, "Do you understand Anata? Do behave yourself infront of Ryoma's senpai!"
"Ok! Ok Honey!" Nanjirou cried. Grr.... it's all this guy's fault... Nanjirou give an annoyed look at Tezuka.
"Otou-san, did you say you want to continue our match this morning?" Akira reminded. (On purpose?)
"Yeah--!! Let's go Akira-chan--!!" Nanjirou have immediately regained his spirit and bounced to the tennis court in the backyard. "Karupin, you stay here ok?" Akira placed the cat beside Nanako, who was seat across Tezuka. Akira then excused herself for the second time and left for a match to finish.
"Please be excuse for my husband's behaviour, he is always like that," Rinko bitterly smiled.
"Iya," Tezuka replied.
"Well, Tezuka-kun, let me ask you again, what do you think of our Ryoma?"
"Ah..." Instead of any reply, Tezuka's cheeks have a mild tint of pink.
"I see," Rinko is pleased.
"Echizen-san, if you could, will you allow-"
"Tezuka-kun, I have no problem with anything as long as you love my Ryoma forever."
"!! Arigatou Echizen-san!!" Buchou bowed.
"Please call me Rinko," Echizen Rinko smiled for his son's happiness.
"Hai!!" Though Tezuka showed no emotion, he has actually clutched his hands tightly indicating a first step success.
= = = = =
Hnn...........
Pak, pak..
What is that noise?
Echizen Ryoma awoke from his slumber. He sat upright from his bed and looked around him. This is... my room.... wait a second... I thought myself, oneechan and Tezuka-senpai were going home together... and I think senpai give me a piggy-back-.... Ryoma blushed as he's just remembered his senpai must have carried him back home. ....Is he back home already? What is that noise? They're from the courts.... could it be!?
Ryoma pulled his blanket out of the way and leaped off his bed, ran towards his window and peeked outside. He would see that his whole family and his buchou were in the tennis courts, his mother and his cousin sitting on the stone seats, his sister leaving... probably to find Karupin since the cat was out of sight? And he was startled to see that his Oyaji and buchou were both proceeding towards the courts with tennis rackets in their hands.
Senpai!?
One thing have just flashed across the genius boy's mind.
He must run like the wind downstairs to the courts.
= = = = =
"Right seishounen(Tezuka)!! Let's start the game!" Nanjirou grinned playfully.
"Echizen-san, can I ask you a favour?" Tezuka bounced the luminous green ball in his hands as he stared at the retired samurai across the net.
"What is it?"
"If I win, can I ask for something from you?" Determined eyes looked at bored uninterested ones.
"You want to win me? Listen boy, even that seishounen of mine can't even get one game from me, if you can even get ONE point from me, THEN I'll agree your favour terms!!" Nanjirou said as he held out his old wooden racket at the former Seigaku Buchou.
"Oji-sama don't go back on your words!" Nanako called out.
"Here I go Echizen-san!" Tezuka served the ball.
"Hora hura--" Nanjirou playfully hit back the shot. He's not bad for being Seigaku's captain...
"Echizen-san," Tezuka started as he returned the ball.
"What?" returned back.
"I'll ask you the favour now." returned back.
"Aren't you a persistant one," returned back.
"If I win...." returned back.
"Hn?" returned back.
"If I win... please allow me to go out with your son Echizen Ryoma!!" returned back.
"EH!!!!!????" Nanjirou's muscles have suddenly stopped working and frozed on the spot, thus allowing Tezuka's return ball to land within the lines and gained ONE point.
"Arigatou Echizen-san," Tezuka bowed.
"CH-CHOTTO MATTE!!! Did I hear that right!?" Nanjirou anxious exclaimed.
"Hai," Tezuka nodded as he walked towards the house.
"W-WAIT!!!" Before Nanjirou could chase after the tall youth for another confirmation, his wife and his niece crowded around him, "Oji-sama I'm so proud of you!!" Nanako smiled. "Anata, we should wish the best for Ryoma right?" Rinko also smiled at her husband. "Wait a minute Rinko, that's not true, that-"
"Daddy, you're wonderful!!" Akira beamed with a blushing Ryoma right in front of her. Akira has actually gone in search of Karupin, met Ryoma along the way and both came back (With Karupin in Akira's arms) and have witnessed the whole match between their father and Tezuka. Right now, both of them are standing near the house, with Tezuka walking towards Ryoma, "Echizen," He said with a serious tone.
"Ah ah?" Ryoma lifted his cherry-red face to look at his senpai. His senpai did not just ask his good-for-nothing-oyaji to permit that he-
"I'll see you at practice tommorrow," a mild smile shown only to Ryoma-kun, bending down, a whisper only in Ryoma-kun's ear, the buchou then turned to look at the elders, "Please excuse me, but I must leave now, I promised my mother that I will be back for dinner tonight."
"Oh, I wish you could stay here longer... well then, let us walk you out to the door," Rinko and Nanako lead Tezuka to the entrance of the house.
Leaving a shocked Nanjirou on the court, the trio went towards the exit of the house, Akira waved the Buchou and seeing that he was out of sight, she then looked at Ryoma, who was as red as an apple. "Ryu-kun?" before the sister could say anything else, the star of Tennis no Oujisama shot back into the house and up the stairs back to his own room like a rocket while muttering a wobbly tone of 'mada mada dane'.
Hmm..... "Otou-san?" Akira glanced over at her father, which is still petrified in a stone state. I guess I'll come back later. "Let's go see how your little master is doing eh Karupin?"
"Meorow-" Karupin mewed in reply.
= = = = =
"Ryu?" Akira knocked the bedroom door of her otouto's. "I'm coming in," with that, she opened the door and stepped inside, noticing a certain bump under the bed blanket, she placed Karupin on the ground and she walked over and sat on the bed without coming in contact with the bump.
"Ryu? Are you asleep?" Certainly not.
"................."
"Ryoma? Did you forget I said before that if Ryu-kun ever has any emotional problems that is too hard to solve, you can always come to sis for answers, or at least tell Onee-san how you're feeling?"
"................" Slowly, the large bump revealed a head. With a blushing and annoyed face.
Heh. "Well?"
"............" Ryoma remained in silent but with a confused expression on his face.
"....Let me guess.... you hate Tezuka-kun?"
"NO!!!" Ryoma suddenly yelled. "Ah!? I...I... mean no... I don't hate him...." he set the volume of his voice back to zero.
"Well, then?"
"........he said that he liked me..." Ryoma's face can't get any redder than a tomato.
"You mean before he left when he whispered to you?"
"Hn. "
"Then....do you like him?"
".....I....I don't know...." Pause. "............"
"Ryu... it's okay if you do not know. But right now, think about him in your past. Are you happy when you're with him? Does your heart pound faster when you're around with him or at least your face goes red? Do you think of him all the time? Do you get jealous when you see other people around him?-"
"-Sis.....don't you need to breathe in between those sentences?" Ryoma asked.
"Hey Ryu, I'm being serious with you here," Akira lightly knocked Ryoma's head with her knuckles. "So, what do you think?"
"Hmm.... one question Oneechan."
"Hn?"
"What is 'jealous'?"
"Well....let's see..... if I say..... I love Tezuka-kun what will you do?"
"Eh!? You're not serious sis!!" Ryoma frowned. Ouch, what's this light pinch in my chest?
"Eheheh, feel something that hurts in your chest?" Akira grinned.
"Eh? Ah....hai..."
"That's a feeling of 'jealousy', you wish that Tezuka-kun's yours and you do not wish for anyone else to have him, do you understand?"
"I see.... I get that then... but Oneechan?"
"Hai?"
"You're not serious are you?" Innocent golden eyes frowned.
"Huuhuhuhuhuu.....of course not Ryoma, you think I'll snatch away the happiness from my brother?" Akira slyly grinned.
"Sis.........."
"Alright, alright, I don't, never will either, and don't you dare think of setting up your oneechan with somebody else for revenge!!" Akira pointed on Ryoma's forehead.
"Hai--" Damn, she saw right through that. Ryoma pouted. "So Sis really doesn't like-"
"Hai-hai-hai-hai," Akira sighed. I guess that was a bad example after all.
"But who does Oneechan like?" Ryoma smirked.
"Hmm.... I wonder?" Akira began to think.
"Heh... you don't have one?" Ryoma looked plainly at his sister.
"Nope, not at all. Hey, this isn't about me, now the main thing is do you like him or not?" Akira stared back.
"........I think.....I do."
"Well then, you should say that to him ok?"
"Ah."
"Good, that's the Ryu-kun I know, well, are you up for a cake?" Akira smiled as she sat up while Karupin brushed himself against her lower legs.
"Hn!" Ryoma also got up. "Ne Oneechan?"
"Hn?"
"You REALLYYY don't have a crush?"
"Mada mada dane, little prince." Akira bitterly smiled as laughter left the room...
= = To be Continued = =
-Dew-
I suppose this one seemed short?
-Windy-
I promise, I promise that there WILL be scenes of other couples in the next chapter. But first, I need one little reference from everybody. ...Okay this is stupid but - does exchange students wear uniforms? Because back in my secondary school I remembered that exchange students wear only their own clothes and not the uniforms of the school they're attending for a few weeks. If it wasn't because of this, I would have stretched this chapter a bit further. So can anyone tell me does exchange students need to wear school uniforms?
-Tetra-
Probably scenes of TakaFuji and Golden pair next chapter.
-Windy-
I'm sorry for the delay of my fics, the reasons are posted in my personal profile. And no, I repeat that Akira-chan WILL NOT be paired up with anyone from Tenipuri.
-Dew-
We've re-check the last 4 chapters and made changes to spelling and grammatical errors. We have also proof-read this chapter and will do so in the future.
-Windy-
Ryoma-kun and Tezuka-kun seemed REALLY out of character [sweatdrops] please tell me that this chapter wasn't sad or pointless, I actually wanted to make it funnier, but that's all I can think. Felt like this chapter didn't feel that good [sweatdrops] Please give me opinions, I need to know if something went wrong.
-Dew-
Say, what happened to the books she bought?
-Windy-
Oh those? They'll probably come useful in the future? [smiles and sweatdrops] ((I'm referring to chapter 3))
-Dew-
Oh? Well, reviews minna-san, ja!!
