Chapter One: New Penal Tea

If you had told Seigaku they would be staying at seperate schools earlier that day, most of them would have called you insane, some of them would have laughed, and Tezuka sure as hell would have gotten rid of you in a heart beat. Unfortunately. That wasn't the case today. Oh, no. It had all gone horribly wrong.

It had started normal enough. It had gone through normal enough. But that afternoon's tennis practice. Oh, no. It began to spiral. Horribly. The regulars, as usual, were the last ones racing each other. But something was off that day. Perhaps they just ran too close together. Perhaps they were just out of sync. But whatever it was, they all finished a second too late. That was all that mattered. Ryuzaki-sensei spared them for the time being, allowing them to get their practice out of the way before they all collapsed from the poisoned drinks. They were greatful. When practice ended, their coach cornered them all as the rest of the tennis club left, "Alright. I cut you boys slack, now, drink up."

They all made a disgusted face, even Fuji and Tezuka, but they all took the small plastic cups offered to them, and all at once, downed the vile drink. The first thing they noticed, was they felt different. Not like when they usually downed the drink...but definitely different. None of them had time to contemplate the words, and had barely all made it into the deserted club room, when they all collapsed.

Fuji and Inui were the first to wake up. They sat up carefully, checking their bodies for any damage, then stood. Fuji noticed the odd feeling first, and looked over the others, then at Inui when he heard him stand as well. Blue eyes opened wide as he stared, his jaw dropping somewhat, "...Inui...what...did you do!"

Inui looked at him oddly before it clicked. He automatically reached for his data book, and began scribbling furiously under his "Drink Effects" section, despite the death glare Fuji was now giving him. When he finally set the book down, he tried to figure out what happened, talking aloud to himself, "It would seem...that the new drink has reverted our bodies to a younger age."

"I got that part. I just want to know why!" It was obvious the tensai was amused by the fact they were all now six years old, with their uniform shirts falling off them, but he was also extremely aggrivated. Inui took note of this as well, "Well...we can't do anything until the others wake up, so I suggest we wait."

Fuji sighed, but sat down to listen, trying to keep his uniform over himself. One by one, the others woke up. None of them took the change too well. Eiji had initially taken it happily, squealing at the thought of being younger again, but quickly spiraled at the thought of what people would say, and started crying. The noise woke Tezuka and Oishi; whose initial reactions were to start yelling at Inui, and trying to get the acrobat to settle down and keep from spazzing himself, respectively. Kawamura's reaction was looking over himself, then the others and to faint once more. Fuji, personally, was surprised Oishi hadn't reacted that way and had to cough to keep from laughing. The gesture made his captain glare daggers at him. The next to wake up were Momo and Kaido, who immediately went at each other's throats, despite their height and age change. When Ryoma woke up, he simply looked over his team mates, shrugged and curled back up to sleep.

Inui looked over the chaotic bunch, and cleared his throat to get their attention. Most of the activity ceased, save Momo and Kaido's constant growling at each other. They were quick to stop when they heard a colder growl come from their captain. The data player shook his head and pushed his glasses up, "Well...from what I could gather. The drinks obviously did this to us. I don't know how long it will last, but there's about an eight-two percent chance that only a second drink will reverse it completely."

Eiji raised his hand, not bothering to wait to be called on, "How come it won't just wear off like the other ones?"

"Because, it's affected our entire body." Everyone's eyes fell on Fuji, who shrugged helplessly, "The others only knocked us out...this one actually made us turn into little kids." He looked crestfallen suddenly and put tiny hands up to his face, "I'll never be able to face Mizuki-kun after this! Or Yuuta-chan!"

Realization hit them all then; they could not go out in public like this. It just wouldn't work. They all began thinking of what their rivals would say if any ever saw their current condition, and it caused them all the same reaction; a violent shudder. Eiji spoke up first, once more, "Hey...doesn't that mean we can't go home either? A lot of us have siblings and stuff...and...and..." He broke down into wails, which Oishi quickly tried to calm.

Inui could only nod, giving Fuji a side glance, "They are correct... It would be wise for us to...disperse ourselves among the other schools."

The idea earned him a mix of shocked looks, death glares, and stares that told him that they couldn't believe he had actually suggested that.

Dun dun dun. We'll get to who gets left with who tomorrow. Enjoy folks -hearts-
