Chapter 4- The rest of Seigaku

A small bell rang as Momoshiro, followed by Raye, walked into the small restaurant. The team sat in a corner of the little sushi shop, bickering and laughing, hard to miss. Momoshiro sauntered over to the group, picking up one of the pieces of sushi with his hands, and popping it into his mouth. "Hey guys…thanks for telling me there wasn't any practice today!"

They all stared at Momoshiro, until Inui spoke up. "You know…it was posted on the bulletin board, not like you bother to read it though."

Fuji laughed at the clueless Momoshiro. "And remember, we all said we'd come over here after school for a quick snack." Fuji's everlasting smile was plastered on his face.

At this Momoshiro grimaced. "Man, I showed up and everything. I could have run one-hundred laps."

Tezuka's voice broke in. "I'm sure I can arrange that." His voice had a hint of teasing, but his face held the same smileless expression.

Everyone except the hidden Raye ((still behind Momo)) groaned loudly at the thought and Momoshiro waved his hands in front of him. "No way! Forget I said anything!" he rubbed the back of his neck, and with a sheepish grin and sat down.

"It's like looking into a mirror isn't it Ryoma?" Momoshiro laughed at the odd expression on the young tennis stars expression. "This is Raye Mioshi, He's new to our school and guess what? He's wants to try out for the team."

"Hey" The table said simultaneously. Raye bowed her head slightly "It's nice to meet you, I always wanted to meet the famed Seigaku team."

They all nodded, and Fuji offered the first words. "I'm Fuji Syusuke, nice to meet you!" His smile remained joyful and he ate another piece of sushi, clicking his chopsticks together in pleasure.

Raye looked around at all of them. "Aren't you missing someone?" Amongst the earlier commotion Momoshiro hadn't noticed the absence of Eiji Kikumaru.

"Oh yah! Where is Kikumaru you guys?" At the mention of his name Kikumaru came bouncing by the group, and jumped over the over-sized booth, landing on the soft seats. "Here I am! Wait…Who's the chick?!" He said, looking pointedly at Raye.

Ryoma shook his head. "That's not a 'chick' Kikumaru, he's new to Seishun Academy."

"He looked up at Raye. "Heh…Sorry Raye!"

Raye smiled a bit. "Hey, no problem. Happens all the time." Raye laughed nervously. All I can hope for is that no one takes notice to the comment, and that that Kikumaru boy was to smart for his own good she thought. Suddenly Eiji dashed from the table, his hand over his mouth.

Tezuka mumbled something about food poisoning and the all laughed.

Raye jumped as an unexpected hand grabbed her shoulder.

Okay you guys! Another chapter finished, Short I know!

I actually had a different ending planned out where Tezuka confronted her at the table in front of everyone, but wrote a few more paragraphs and was completely stumped. Anyways sorry for the delay on this chapter, I know I know it was supposed to be done yesterday, But anyways Im thinking of stopping this little fic, unless I know some of you people are still out there reading my work. Anyways keep reading and writing!
