Little Rascals!

Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The 8 Hours' Torture

All the Seigaku tennis club's members including the Regulars assembled at Court A after their practice upon receiving an order to do so from Ryuzaki-sensei.

"Do you all know what day is tomorrow?" Ryuzaki-sensei asked the Regulars who were lining up in a straight line in front of her and the rest of the tennis club's members who were lining up behind the Regulars.

"Uh uh" Momo rose up his left hand and waved it.

"It's Friday the 13th, Bad Luck Day!"

All slammed down the ground hard.

"That is not what I'm trying to ask! Tomorrow is 'Brother-For-A-Day' Day!" Ryuzaki-sensei replied Momo angrily.

"Anyway, every year, one all guys' club of Seigaku will volunteer to help out at Seigaku pre-school. This year is our tennis club's turn."

"Help out at the pre-school?" Eiji scratched his head.

Some of the members that were standing behind started to murmur about it.

"We have a pre-school?" Momo looked at Kaidoh who was standing next to him.

"You are such an idiot" Kaidoh muttered followed by a sigh.

"I have heard about this from a friend in the baseball club. He said that the pre-school kids acted like monsters when their club volunteered to do the task last year. Some of their members even had trauma for several months." Inui pushed his glasses up.

"Are you joking, Inui?" Oishi looked to his right where Inui was standing with a rather shocked face.

"Does my face look like I'm joking?" Inui looked at Oishi with a glint at his spectacle and dark, purple aura surrounded him.

"We only need about fifteen people to volunteer. Anyone interested, please come to the front and fill your name on this paper" Ryuzaki-sensei lifted up a blank paper with her left hand for the members to see.

"I don't want to go. I'm not filling my name in."

"Me too. It's a waste of time. I rather sleep at home than volunteering." Ryoma agreed to Momo.

All the members kept on muttering and discussing that whether they should volunteer. Suddenly, Fuji walked to the front and filled in his name.

"Fuji? Are you really going?" Eiji held him by Fuji's left shoulder.

"I thought this might be interesting. Besides, Tezuka is going too." Fuji smiled.

"I'm not going. What makes you think that I'm going?" Tezuka who was standing next to them as cold as an icicle spoke out.

"But your name is on the list." Fuji replied with a smile on his face.

"I don't recall writing my name on the pa… Fuji! Don't tell me. Did you write my name down?" Tezuka exclaimed.

Fuji just smiled back.

Tezuka's serious looking face turned black and looked even more serious than before.

After 15 minutes gone by, there was still nobody who wanted to volunteer to help out at the pre-school.

"Okay, since no one wants to volunteer, I'm going to pick out your name." Ryuzaki-sensei took out a list of the tennis club's members' name.

"Oh no, this can't be good." Momo sensed that she might pick the Regulars.

"All the Regulars, Arai, Horio, ……."

"Guessed that coming." Momo sighed.

"Arai, looks like you and your gang are out of luck today!" Some of the sophomores laughed and teased them.

"No! Why?" Horio screamed.

"Well, at least we're doing it together." Kachiro tried to comfort Horio.

"Everyone can dismiss. Those who are chosen just now, meet in front of the pre-school eight in the morning. Just wear casual. That will do. And Ryoma, don't be late this time!"

Ryoma just kept silence and pulled the tip of his white cap down with his left hand, covering his eyes.

All of the tennis team members packed their bags and left the school. As they walked out of the school, most who were not chosen felt relieved and joyful.

The following morning, all of them assembled in front of the pre-school. Ryoma was not late this time. All walked into the pre-school. Ryuzaki-sensei instructed them to wait at the waiting room while she go and deal with the procedure.

While waiting, Inui opened his bag and was browsing for a thermos. When he opened his thermos, there was a weird smell that began to pollute the room.

"Eww, what is that?" Eiji closed his nose.

"My latest invention. Inui's Remix Hyper Changer Juice. The taste has been adjusted. It tastes better than the previous few. Care to try?" Inui poured out some and offered it to Eiji.

"No thanks, nyah" Eiji pushed Inui's hand that was holding the cup away from his face.

"How about you, Echizen?" Inui moved the cup to Ryoma who was sitting next to him.

"No thanks. I'll pass"

"Inui, you shouldn't bring that kind of stuff here." Oishi nagged Inui.

"This is going to be fun, ne Tezuka?" Fuji smiled at Tezuka who was sitting next to him.

Tezuka just replied him with a cold look. He still can't believe that he was dragged into this.

Ryuzaki-sensei came in.

"The procedure's done. Just walk to Room 2. You will be handling the kids from that class. You will be off by four. Well, I'm off then. Good Luck and have fun." Ryuzaki-sensei went off after explaining to them.

"8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4. Eight hours?" Eiji counted with his fingers.

"This is going to be like hell" Arai sighed.

"Fwsh…"

All of them got out of the waiting room and made their way to Room 2. As Kawamura turned the door knot, the door opened. There was about fifteen kids aged ranging from five to seven and a teacher inside.

"Aaa. Come in. Come in." The teacher invited them into the room.

"Class, we have visitors today. They will be helping out for the 'Brother-For-A-Day' Day. Say hi, class."

"Hi"

"It's pretty easy actually. Each of them who want to join the program will pick any of you to spend the day with. Just interact and play with them, get to know them and treat them as if they are your younger siblings. Here, take this label sticks and writes your name down. Then, stick it on your shirt. There will be a schedule distribute to you all later on. Understand? Well, okay."

"Treat them as your younger siblings, eh?" Fuji smiled and holds his chin.

"Kids, kids. May I have your attention please?" The teacher clapped her hand twice.

All the loud noise made suddenly quieted down. The kids moved their attention to their teacher who was talking in front of the class.

"All the oni-chan tachi here are from Seigaku Junior High Tennis Club. They will be your brother for the day. You all know what to do. Pick your brother for the day, treat them nicely and make sure they're going home in one piece, okay?" The teacher laughed.

The tennis club members gulped.

"Okay, I'll be off then. If you need any help, just find me at the teachers' lounge. Have fun!"

The teacher left the room, leaving the members with a bunch of kids.

A little blonde girl walked towards them. She then pointed to Tezuka.

"You. You will be my brother for the day. Ne?" She held Tezuka's right hand with a smile and pulled him away.

"Tezuka-buchou is doom!" Momo looked at Tezuka as the little girl dragged him away.

"My name is Marissa Remoni. You can call me Mari-chan. What yours?" The happy-go-lucky little girl asked the stiff looking Tezuka.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu."

"Souka. Nice name. Anyway, want to play Scrabble?" The little girl took out a scrabble box.
