Night Out Before the Tournament (Another Tezuka)
The girls came to her house four hours later. "Are you sure that you'll be fine for tomorrow?" They asked and she nodded.
"Actually I won't be unless the guys come." She said grabbing her jacket and then they walked out of the house. They went to see a movie then desided to get Sakuno. "Oba-san." She said opening the door to her grandmother's house.
"Taki be quiet." Sakuno said appearing in front of the four. "She's asleep already. She had mistakenly drank Inui-senpai's special jucie." She said and then noticed what the girls were wearing. "You look like hookers."
"Oh come on Sakuno it's not that bad." Taki said and pulled her sister to her room. "Now let us get you all changed and you're coming with us." She said and went to her sister closet. She pulled out some cloths then shook her head. She then cut up some of those cloths then handed them to Sakuno. "Put them on and then the girls will get your hair and make up done." She said then went to get a drink. When she walked intot he kitchen her grandmother was there.
"Taki you're taking Sakuno out aren't you?" Sumire said and Taki nodded. "Just make sure nothing happens to her. And don't let your fooling around get you hurt." She said then went back to bed.
"Come on before I get a consience." She said and they left the house. As they headed for the club some guys started to hit on them. Taki just played along even though she knew there was only one guy she would ever really want to be with that night. They were all laughing a having agood time when they got to the club. The bouncers noticed the girls and smiled.
"What took you al so long?" They said and the girls smiled at them. "Is that little Sakuno?" they asked and Sakuno hugged one of the guys. "Your aunt was wondering when you were going to start coming by with the other girls." They said then let the girls in. They warned the guys with them that they were watching them like hawks. "Oh and some guys from Seigaku got here a while ago and your aunt let them in."
"Guys from Seigaku?" Sakuno said and then saw Echizen talking with a girl who was flirting with him. "Ryoma!" She shouted and he turned and smiled when he saw her. She ran up to him and hugged him.
"So that must be her boyfriend." The owner said and Taki hugged her.
"Yeah that's Echizen he's a regular at Seigaku." Taki said and her aunt smiled at her. "Not to worry he's a first year just like her. And he keeps a eye on her so that she doesn't get into trouble." She said and then turned her attentions back to the guys that came in with them. Not noticing that the other three girls had backed off since the Fudomine, Seigaku, St. Rudolph, Hyoutei, Rikaidai, Jyousai Shounan, Rokaku, and Yamabuki Regulars were in the room watching them.
When one of the guys made a move on her she backed off. "Hey buddy I wouldn't do that if I were you." Echizen said coming their way with Sakuno.
"Who's talking to you shrimp." One of the guys said.
"If you don't want any trouble you'd back off." He said again and came up beside Taki who tilted her head not knowing what he was talking about. "There are over 30 guys here that you'll have to get through if you want anything to do with her." He said and then Taki looked around to see the guys from the other schools. "20 or so of them are like her older brothers." He said and she smiled then hugged him. "And since she's my girlfriends sister you'll also have to go through me."
"Okay boys back off." The bouncers said coming their way.
"Hai." The guys said and then left Taki with Echizen and Sakuno.
"Arigato." She said and then noticed one of the Seigaku guys wasn't there and she frowned. She cracked her neck then went to the dance floor to get her anger that he didn't come out. She danced with so many guys that night but none of them felt right. She wanted her partner to be there with her. She wanted to know how it felt to move with him of the courts. 'Damn him. Why the hell does he have to do this to me? He knows that the only reason our games were great when we were younger was because we knew eachother.' She thought as she danced with Kirihara. On the other side of the club Akira was fuming and Sora was trying to keep him calm.
"Akira calm down." Fuji said and Kamio looked at him.
"Are you out of your mind she's dancing with Kirihara Fuji. Just look at her." Akira said amd they all looked at her.
"She's not thinking about who she's dancing with." Sakuno said as she came up to them with Echizen. "She's mad that the one person she wanted to come didn't show up."
"What are you talking about Sakuno. Kunimitsu is here." Oishi said with his arms around Eiji.
"He's in the VIP room right now talking with some of the bouncers and your aunt." Eiji said and then they all heard fighting. They all turned to see Kirihara on his ass.
"You knew the rules." A bouncer said standing in front of Taki looking down at Kirihara.
"Nya! Wakashi…" She said then went quiet when she saw Tezuka coming their way with the other bouncers.
"All the guys in the club know that Taki isn't to be touched unless you have permission." Fuji said and they all looked at him and he smiled. "Kirihara must have foregotten."
"Kirihara get up." Tezuka said and the guy did. "She isn't any other girl you can fool around with." He said stairing strate into the guy's eyes. "You don't touch anyone of my team mates. Especially not my partner before a tournament."
"No way is she playing tomorrow." Kirihara said, "Not unless she can best your baby on that team of yours."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Taki shouted and curled up in a ball. "Noooo. Stop talking." She said and the grils came running over and knelt down beside her. The guys from all the schools looked at her. "Nooo. Can't think. Can't think of it. Can't think of the game. Ahhhh."
"Taki it's alright. Taki they stop." Sora said and Kori signalled the DJ to put the music louder.
"Come on Taki move. Listen to the rythem." Mizu said as she tried to take Taki's hands from her ears.
"Taki clear your mind. Think of the only thing you want to do right now. Why are we here? Who were you hoping would be be here? Who were you wating for?" Kori whispered as Sora looked at Tezuka and smiled. Then she signalled to the bouncers and the others to go back to what they were doing. Taki let the words sink in then lifted her head and then got up. Tezuka had gone over to the others and was talking with Fuji. She pushed through people who were dancing and just grabbed his hand surprising him and the others. She then headed back to the dancefloor, with him protesting.
"Shut up Kunimitsu. You and Kirihara made me think of the tournament. Now you are going to have to make me forget about it." She said stopping dead in her tracks and looked him in the eyes as he looked down at her. "Damn it Kunimitsu, over the three years things happened that not even the teachers at Fudomine could understand. I may have been the best player they had, but I lost my nerves whenever I had to play in a huge match. No body else knows about it. When the time did come that they needed me to play I had to do something. I need my mind to clear. And this was the only thing my family could think of." She said and the song changed. "The teams were aloud to come here but the rules were set up. Also my matches were never advertised, were never talked about. I was the best-kept secret. It's amazing the Fujiko had even heard about the recruitment from whimbeldon." She said and he shook his head and then pulled her towards the center of the dancefloor and danced with her.
"Oh just shut up then." He said as she lowered her eyes.
"Arigato." She said then she some how changed in everyones eyes. Her moves were sexual and seductive. 'This is what I was looking for. This feels right. They can't stop me when I'm with him. I don't dance for anyone like this but him. No one can touch me. He's the only one. No one can hurt me ever again. No one will think of me as that little girl who was sheltered. Not when I'm with him.' Her mind was racing with so many things that didn't have to do with the tournament. She loved the feel of the both of them touching eachother. Moving as if they were one. Moving as if they had dance together like this all the time.
"Taki you have no idea what you're doing to me." Tezuka whispered when they were dancing to a slower song.
"I can guess." She whispered back closing her eyes and leaning onto him. "I've missed you those three years I was gone."
"Oh you have no idea how you've been plaguing my dreams wanting you back. Wanting you back in my fine and my home." He lifted her up and she rapped her legs around him placing her head onto his shoulders.
"Let's go we need to talk." She whispered and he went over to his teammates.
"We're heading to my place. Echizen we're leaving Sakuno in your care. Sakuno you know your Oba-san let you out because of Taki. Take this as an advantage. Sumire won't do this often." Tezuka said and Fuji smiled.
"You both need to talk first." Fuji said and Taki looked at him from over Tezuka's shoulder.
"Hai." She said and then the bouncer came over with her bag.
"You were prepared." Tezuka and the guys on her team said and she nodded. Tezuka had taken his car that night so it didn't take them to long to get to his place. His parents were asleep since it was three in the morning and so were his brothers. He made some tea as she went up to his room. They truly did have a lot to talk about and not to talk about.
