"Um, Excuse me, sensei," Oishi, Tezuka, Hana, Yukino, Haruko and the rest of their class all looked up to see a freshman standing in the door. They had Math at the moment and the Sensei had been droning on and on about stupid Algebra until the freshman had come.
"Yes?" Sensei looked over her half moon glasses to the trembling girl.
"Yamashima Haruko and Shiroi Yukino are to come to the office. The principle wants to see them," She blurted out.
"Can't this wait?" Sensei grumbled, "This is an important lesson for their exams."
"I'm afraid Masato-sensei cannot wait. He insisted on this," Murmurs rippled through the class at the young girl's words. What could the principle want with those two?
"I wonder what Masato-sensei needs with them?" Oishi murmured to Tezuka. The latter said nothing. Hana's eyes, however, were as hard as steel.
"We'll be down in a second," Haruko nodded curtly.
"Wait just a second Yamashima-san, you can't-" Sensei was interrupted by Yukino who followed Haruko out the door.
"If you want to keep your job, sensei, I suggest you let us go," With that, the door snapped shut. An out break of chattering came as soon as they left. Sensei was left stiff and silent, gaping at the door. It was then Oishi noticed something was wrong with Hana.
"Are you alright, Hinagaku-chan?" He asked, worried.
"Don't touch me," She spat. The words came out as ice. Oishi recoiled and was about to ask when sensei finally came to and ordered quiet. The lesson continued but Oishi couldn't pay attention. He was too puzzled.
When the bell rang for lunch, people started filtering out a little, stretching their legs and taking a break from the long, tiring lessons. Oishi and Tezuka quickly finished their lunch and made their way down to the Tennis court like they normally did. It was too hard to remain in Class for lunch because of Tezuka's many fan girls. The others had the same problem so they all met at the tennis court, just for fun.
"Yo!" Fuji called in greeting.
"Hoi, Hoi!" Eiji waved as well.
"Hello, senpai-tachi!" Momoshiro acknowledged them. Greetings were returned and given as the tennis regulars settled in to a few practice games. For once, it was quiet, just like it was before the Volleyball girls came. Tezuka was satisfied. This was the true power of Seigaku.
"By the way, I wonder where the girls are." Eiji questioned idly after practice. There had been no noise from the court like there usually was since the girls liked to practice during lunch as well.
"Especially with Ryuuzaki-chan and Tachibana-imouto's Tournament coming up," Momoshiro frowned.
"Eiji, Momo, let's go. The bell is about to ring," Oishi called.
"Coming!" With one last look behind them, Eiji and Momo walked into the school, blissfully unaware of the solemn girls not too far away.
O0o0o0o0o0o
"That's it for the day!" Tezuka called, satisfied after a very good practice. Everyone was doing their best.
"Yay! Another early ended practice!" Eiji cheered, "Wanna go for burgers, Oishi?"
"Actually, I wanted to see what was wrong with Hinagaku-chan. She was acting strange this morning," Oishi replied, packing up his stuff.
"We'll come with you," Eiji grinned, much to the chagrin of both Momoshiro and Ryoma.
"I'm coming as well. Ino-san is late," Inui frowned. He didn't want to waste more time than he had to.
"Let's go then- oh look, it's Osakada-chan, Tachibana-chan and Ryuuzaki-chan," Oishi saw the two girls farther away from the tennis court in the opposite direction of the Volleyball court.
"I wonder what they're doing over there." Ryoma asked to no one in particular.
"Let's go find out," Eiji waved enthusiastically to the girls, who caught the ball and waited for them too catch up. Tomoko's and An's expression changed to disgust while Sakuno's became confusion.
"K-Konnichiwa minna-san," Sakuno bowed hesitantly. Tomoko and An ignored them and started bumping the ball back and forth again, "Tomo-chan, An-chan…"
"What's the matter?" Eiji asked, puzzled by their odd behavior.
"What's the matter! What's the matter?" Tomoko exploded. She walked right up to Momoshiro and started prodding his chest, "You guys destroy so many dreams and futures and ask us what the matter is! I can't believe you'd sink that low."
"Tomo-chan, calm down," Sakuno tried to calm down her friend.
"Humph!" She whirled around and started spiking a ball to An, who kept digging.
"Gomen nasai," Sakuno bowed, "By the way, An-chan and mine's first game is on Saturday. I hope you can come." She was about to hand them a flyer when An exploded.
"NO! I don't want them going to or game! They'll screw everything up like they did already!" An exploded. She missed the spike Tomoko gave her and the ball bounced across the field.
"But why?" Momoshiro asked.
"What did we do?" Oishi asked. He was clearly puzzled.
"Don't act all innocent. You were the reason that none of the girls have anything anymore," An growled, "I hate you all, especially you, Momoshiro!"
"What!" Momoshiro's eyes flew open.
"You heard me. I can't believe I even considered going out with a traitor like you," An spat. She took one last glance at them and ran away. Tomoko glared at them once more and followed An, not bothering to say good-bye.
"Gomen, Minna-san," Sakuno bowed once more and picked up the ball. She followed her friends across the field, looking incredibly sad as she left.
"What was that all about, senpai?" Kaido wandered over. He had been taking a jog around the premises when he had heard An explode at Momoshiro.
"Let's just say it wasn't pretty," Eiji grimaced as he kneeled down to the collapsed Momoshiro's level, "You alright, Momo?"
"What did I do?" Momoshiro was muttering incoherently. His eyes were sad, tears just waiting to fall, "What happened?" He wasn't listening to anyone.
"I'll stay with him. You might want to go to the Volleyball court, Inui-senpai, if you're still looking for Benkyo-senpai. She also might be able to shed some light on this," Ryoma advised. He was truly worried for the power tennis player whose heart just got broken but of course, being Ryoma, he didn't let it show.
"Of course," They left the two behind, crossing over the Tennis courts to reach the Volleyball court. On the way, they bumped into Tezuka who was talking to Sumire.
"Excuse us Ryuuzaki-sensei," Oishi smiled.
"What happened over there? Osakada-chan seemed pretty upset as well as that other girl," Sumire asked. She had heard the two yelling from the courts.
"They seemed extremely upset about something. Something about destroying so many dreams and futures," Oishi replied.
"Is that so? I'll have a word with Sakuno. In the mean time, you might want to speak with their buchou," Sumire advised, "She could probably tell you what's happened."
"Hai. We're on our way now," Oishi nodded. They made their way to the line of trees that hid the Volleyball court from view.
"Hello?" Eiji called.
"We're here," Hana's calm tone responded. They saw her, Haruko, Yukino, Yamiko and Ino standing in the middle of the court, looking quite grim. All five turned an icy cold glare on all five of the guys.
"What's wrong? Where's everyone else?" Oishi asked, concerned.
"Home. There was no need to come today, as you should know," Yukino bit back. Her blue eyes were chips of ice, but they were red rimmed, since she'd been crying.
"By the way, did you enjoy your quiet practices?" Ino asked mockingly.
"Of course," Inui blinked, confused, "Ino-san, you're late for-"
"I could care less," She cut him off bitterly, "I don't want to go any where with you, you filthy traitor. Not now or ever, by the way." Behind her glasses, her black seemed to be filled with unshed tears.
"Not you too! Tachibana-chan and Osakada-chan said the same thing! What did we do?" Eiji whined. This was too much! He couldn't understand this!
"What did you do! What do you think you did? You lying curs destroyed so much, half brained idiots who backstabbed us! You lying deceitful, dense, dim witted, brainless, stupide, méchante, sexiste, cochon!You-" Hana raged. Her balled fist was shaking, as if she wanted to punch them then and there.
"Hana, that's enough," Yukino ordered, "Though I completely agree with the pig part," She glared at the guys
"Je suis certain n'il y a pas du chocon plus horrible comme vous!" Hana screeched (I'm certain there aren't any pig more horrible than you, in French)
"What are you saying, Hinagaku-senpai? We didn't do anything!" Kaido protested.
"Didn't do anything!" Yamiko screeched. She went completely ballistic as she lunged towards Kaido and tackled him down, "Bakayarou!" Desperately she slapped him over and over again.
"Get off him!" Inui shouted, "He's innocent!"
"Innocent! None of you are innocent!" Ino launched herself at Inui, biting and scratching his arm. Inui winced as he turned around and grabbed her wrists. Still Ino scratched him with her long nails.
"Ino! You're acting completely Illogically!" Inui bellowed. He locked her in his arms, trying to keep her from hurting anyone.
"Let me go! I could care less about being logical right now!" She half sobbed as she pounded on his chest. The raw hurt and anger in her voice tugged at Inui's heart strings.
Hana's eyes hardened. She advanced towards Ino to help her out but Eiji grabbed her wrists. Violently, she twisted her wrist in an attempt to break free, "Let me go!"
"Not until you explain to me what's going on!" Eiji responded fiercely. He hugged her against his chest, burrowing his face in her shoulder. Hana stopped struggling and let the tears pour down her face. They fell onto Eiji's cheek as she was reduced to a sobbing mess.
"Let me go," She whispered brokenly. Hana didn't know what she wanted; for him to let her go or for him to hold her like this forever.
Yukino bristled as her feral instincts came into play. Her friends were reduced to complete messes and they couldn't fight back for some stupid reason. Growling, she advanced towards them.
"Don't, Yukino-san," Oishi's voice broke through the red haze she was seeing. He grabbed her wrist to keep her from going any further.
"Yarou," She hissed. Oishi got a good look at her eyes, which had become red like hell's fire.
"Don't do anything rash," Oishi warned.
"Rash?" Yukino cried. She lunged as Oishi as he caught her other wrist, holding her an arms length away from her. She felt tears leaking out her eyes as she felt so helpless, held there. No she couldn't be helpless again. She bent her elbows and tackled Oishi, letting him collapse to the ground.
Haruko watch this all sadly, not saying a word. She knew the girls were being unreasonable, but she couldn't do anything. She was as broken as they were inside and she knew they wouldn't listen to her if she said anything.
"You should do something, Yamashima," Haruko snapped out of her trance to see Tezuka standing there, looking grave. Anger boiled in her. That filthy hypocrite! He was probably the one who started this. He was the one who destroyed their dream and their futures!
"Why don't you!" She spat back. He looked taken aback by her rough and angry response.
"My team isn't going ballistic like yours. As captain, you should do something or you'd be a substandard couch as well," Tezuka criticized. He didn't see the angry spark in her dull pink eyes.
"You know what Tezuka? You sicken me," Haruko growled. She turn towards him and brought her knee to his family jewels. Tezuka bowled over in shock as he winced in pain.
"Tezuka-buchou!" Eiji exclaimed, looking towards them and at the same time letting Hana go. Kaido and Inui turned his head as well towards the captain, forgetting about the girls they held in their arms.
Ino saw an opportunity to get free. She reached up and slapped Inui with all her might, knocking his glasses off. Shocked, Inui did nothing as Ino squeezed her eyes closed and ran away. Yamiko froze, as if she suddenly lost all energy. When Kaido turned back to her, her eyes had lost all life and her black hair hung limply, brushing his face. When he removed her from above him, she made no move to resist. It was as if she had just become a puppet with no puppeteer.
"Let's go," Haruko barked. She hoisted Yamiko over her shoulder while Yukino did the same to Hana. They started moving away from the guys, not looking back.
"What?" Eiji trailed off as they left. He hoisted Oishi over his shoulder as he watched her back.
"Traitor…" Hana whispered.
The remaining guys watched their back with just one question floating through their minds: What did we do?
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Meanwhile, Taka was approaching the sushi shop, whistling happily. He was happy that Tezuka had let them go early so he had left without Tsuchi because he didn't want to disturb her practice.
"Excuse me," Taka blink in surprise as the girl he was thinking about nearly bowled him over.
"Tsuchi-san? Where are you going?" Taka asked.
"Gomen, Kawamura-san, Sayonara," She bowed and kept running down the streets, not even looking at him.
"Poor girl," Taka's dad came out of the sushi shop, wiping his hands.
"What happen?" He asked.
"She quit, saying she had another job lined up for her. Somehow, I get the feeling that's not it," Taka's father frowned a little, "Maybe it's something that happened at school? She was crying when she came in."
"I wouldn't know," Taka frowned after her, worry creasing his brow.
"Oh well. I was really fond of that girl," Taka's father shrugged, "Well, time's a wasting. Get to your chores, boy!" Taka absently started following his fathers orders, ducking into the shop to start chopping. His thoughts were clouded with Tsuchi. She didn't look like the girl who could let a job go easily. What had happened?
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
The next day, Haruko, Yukino and Hana were making their way down the hall, getting a lot of dirty looks from the female population. They ignored it, stepping over the feet stuck out to trip them and paying no attention to the many times their hair was pulled. Whispers surrounded them which they tried to ignore.
"Did you hear? Those three attacked the regulars!"
"I know! Who'd do that? I heard the blond one put Oishi-kun into the hospital for broken bones!"
"They're the ones that were Seigaku's Volleyball team."
"Yeah right. I bet they lost at the prefectures."
"What a waste of time."
"I bet they were disqualified before the tournament because they were so bad."
"I can't take anymore!" Hana suddenly exploded.
"If you put one of your dirty fingers near my hair again, so help me I will make use of my martial arts lessons," Yukino growled as a freshman made to pull one of Yukino's blond curls. The young girl whimpered but grew bold.
"You hurt the regulars!" She cried, pointing accusingly at them.
"Oh Mon Dieu!" Hana threw up her hands.
"I'm glad we've registered that fact, now, can we move go?" Haruko snapped. She had completely lost her childishness, literally over night.
"So you admit it! I knew it!" Akaya crowed.
"Not you, Yoshikuni," Yukino growled.
"I can drag you to court for that! HA!" Akaya crowed.
"Lookie here, pug-queen, you can only do that if the victim is severely injured. Now if you don't mind, we're going in," Hana snapped. She opened the screen door to their English class but Akaya wouldn't let them through.
"Oishi-san was put in the hospital because of her!" Ayaka jabbed a finger at Yukino.
"Oh for Pete sakes!" Yukino exclaimed in English. "I'm bloody sick and tired of you all ranting about you precious regulars! They can go to hell for all I care! Our Volleyball team has just been shut down and that's all you talk about: those god forsaken regulars!"
"Oishi-san is standing at the end of the Hallway, along with Kikumaru and Echizen. He looks perfectly fine to me," Haruko brushed passed her, not even bothering to look in their way. Hana and Yukino followed her in, completely ignoring the shocked look on Ayaka's face.
"What did she say, Ochibi?" Eiji asked. They had heard Yukino's rant from down the hall as well.
"She says that the Volleyball team is shut down and that she and the rest of the team hate you," Echizen translated loosely, "What happened when you went to go see them, senpai?"
"It wasn't pretty. Kaido got two bruises from Abunai-chan continuously slapping him and Inui got one from Benkyo-san. Tezuka got kneed as well. Eiji was the only that escaped unscathed.
"What happened to you, Oishi-senpai?" Echizen asked.
"He has a big honking bruise, right there," Eiji pointed at Oishi's stomach.
"It's nothing big, but it'll need a few days to heal," Oishi shrugged, "Did you say that the Volleyball team was shut down?"
"According to Yukino-senpai," Echizen nodded the affirmative.
"So that explains what they were so mad about!" Eiji exclaimed, "but why is it our fault?"
"I don't know, but I know that we'll be late if we don't get to class soon," Oishi waved goodbye to his friends as he also made his way into class. As soon as he set foot into the class room, however, he was mobbed by fan girls.
"Are you alright, Oishi-kun?"
"Can you walk?"
"Which bone did you break?"
"Which one of those nasty girls hit you?"
"Wh-"
"SHUT UP!" Yukino shouted in English. Everyone turned to look at her.
"Well, Shiroi-san you know your English quite well, well enough to interrupt class, no?" Sensei was annoyed by the interruption.
"As a matter a fact, yes I do," Yukino retorted, "it's my mother tongue."
"Well, since you know it so well, why don't you engage in a debate with Oishi-san, since you both decided to disturb the class?" The teacher snapped irritably.
"Gladly. What shall the topic be?" Yukino responded. She sounded bored, as if this was a waste of time.
"Let's see… traitors," The teacher smirked.
"Alright then," Yukino took a deep breath and started ranting in English, "Traitors are no good cowards that destroy every shard of humanity in their subject. Just backstabbing someone once, is enough to destroy them. I have no respect for them just like I have no respect for the Seigaku Tennis regulars. Is that enough sensei?"
"Y-Yes," Yukino turned on her heel and stalk out the door. Facing the class again, Sensei was determined to keep the debate running. "Would anyone like to take Shiroi-san's place?"
"I will," Hana stood.
"Very well. Oishi-kun, you will begin," Sensei nodded for him to start.
"Traitor is a mind frame," Oishi started in broken English, "It is what people think, not necessarily what people are."
"I disagree," Hana snapped, "Traitor is a name for people who have broken a promise like lying cheaters they are. While it does depend on perspective, it doesn't erase the hurt that a traitor will cause. It's like the hurt that the regulars piled on us."
"You may leave, Hinagaku-chan," Sensei nodded to her. Hana thanked her as she rushed out the door.
"So, who do you think won the debate?" Sensei asked as Oishi sat down.
"Hinagaku-san and Shiroi-san, definitely!" A murmur of agreement rippled through the class.
"I never knew they could speak English so well!"
"Yeah, they're amazing!"
Outside, Hana and Yukino were listening glumly.
"All we had to do blurt out some our thoughts in a different language, eh?" Hana muttered gloomily.
"These are one of the reasons I'll be glad to be gone from Japan at the end of this year," Yukino growled.
"Aa," Hana agreed, not knowing that Oishi was listening to their conversation from the door.

The bell rang for lunch as students came pouring out of their class rooms to enjoy the warm summer temperatures. They were relaxing all over the lawn, taking advantage of their free time. Fuji was no exception to this example. He was wandering in a more secluded area with many shaded trees, just enjoying the day. Wandering mindlessly, he saw Aomi swinging on a nearby swing.
"Hello, Aomi-chan!" He called. She didn't respond, just kept looking down at her feet. He approached her slowly and started pushing her on the swing, "What's the matter?"
"Please stop, Fuji-senpai," He stopped pushing her when he heard her whisper softly.
"What's the matter Aomi-chan?" He was shocked. They had become good friends over the short span of time they had known each other. He kneeled in front of her, just to be met with the sight of her tear streaked face.
"Please leave me alone," She begged, not looking at him.
"Why?" Fuji demanded.
"Fuji-senpai!" Both turned around to see Momoshiro running towards them.
"Sayonara," Aomi whispered. She ran the opposite direction, letting the tears flow down her face.
"What is it Momo?" Fuji asked, a little annoyed.
"Oishi-senpai is calling everyone to the courts concerning our neighbors. Is everything alright with Chizu-san?" He panted.
"I wish I knew. She refused to talk to me." Fuji sighed a little, "Well, let's go. Better not keep Oishi waiting.
"Hai," Together, they made their way to the Courts where the rest of the regulars were gathered.
"What's the meeting for, Oishi-senpai?" Momoshiro asked.
"I called it. I wanted to tell you that the girls will no longer be operating near us. It is for both clubs benefit," Tezuka stated simply, "I asked for a transfer."
"That makes sense. They were a bit loud," Fuji nodded.
"But why would they be so upset about it?" Eiji wondered.
"It's not logical," Inui murmured. He was wearing a patch on his cheek where Ino slapped him
"True. I wonder why Shiroi-senpai cursed us all in the hallway and said the team was dissolved," Ryoma wondered idly.
"What?" Tezuka frowned.
"She what?" Kaido asked, surprised. He was also wearing a patch, on both cheeks though.
"She seemed quite upset," Oishi frowned.
"I think we should investigate," Eiji proclaimed.
"You can," Tezuka shrugged.
"Actually, who has contact with those girls? I don't," Eiji rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Not me," Oishi shook his head.
"Not me," Tezuka shook his as well.
"Some how, I don't think I do either," Ryoma yawned.
"Nope," Momoshiro shook his head, still getting over his rejection.
"Are you kidding?" Kaido snorted.
"I don't either," Fuji shook his head.
"Tsuchi-san quit yesterday, so I don't," Taka shook his head as well.
"Looks I'll have to talk to Ino-san," Inui pushed up his glasses.
"Alright, Inui! We'll be counting on you," Eiji grinned.
"Hai," He nodded.
"I have to be going, senpai-tachi. I have to eat my lunch," Kaido excused himself, glaring at Momo.
"Don't look at me like that! Oishi-senpai said it was urgent!" Momoshiro protested. The two Juniors walked away, bickering all over again. Ryoma wandered away as the others also bade goodbye. Nobody felt like playing tennis today.

After school, Inui packed up his books and was about to leave when the Physics teacher called him back. "Inui-san!"
"Hai, sensei?" He responded.
"Thank you so much for working with Benkyo-chan this week. She has caught to us so she will no longer need a tutor. She also asked me to give this to you," The teacher handed him a slip of paper.
"Arigato Sensei," he bowed.
"Off you go now," the teacher dismissed him with a wave of her hand. Inui bowed once more before he closed the door, reading the address on the outside. To Seigaku tennis Regulars…
"I'll show this to them outside," Inui muttered to himself.
"Hoi!" Out side, practice was in full swing. Eiji and Oishi were playing at their best, having a lot of fun doing it as well. Ryoma and Fuji were also playing against each other.
"You're late," Tezuka reprimanded Inui as he approached.
"I was held up by sensei. He also gave me this, from the girls," Inui handed him the note.
"Interesting," Tezuka noted. Oishi and Eiji finished the game in a tiebreaker but Eiji won, 7-6. They congratulated each other on a job well done.
"What's that, buchou?" Eiji asked.
"It's a note from the girls, apparently," Tezuka replied.
"What does it say?" Oishi asked curiously.
"I don't know," Tezuka confessed.
"Open it!" Eiji urged. Almost all the regulars crowded around Tezuka as he opened it up.
"Dearest (not) Seigaku shonen," Inui red aloud. The hand writing was choppy and messy, much like Ino's.
It has come to my attention that we can no longer trust you. You see, when we moved here, we were hoping you'd be the decent type that puts up with a bit of noise. After all, you were our last hope. I suppose I should explain this to you.
We started in the Gym, next to the guy's team, but they kicked us out because Haruko wouldn't date their captain. It was the same with the Basketball, Baseball, and badminton teams. When we set up here, we'd hoped that you'd be reasonable. I guess it was our own fault for trusting that you wouldn't turn us in for a bit of noise.
The reason I wrote this letter is not so you'd pity us, but we want you to stay away from us, especially Hana, Aomi, Yamiko and Tsuchi. Rest assured, we'll do our best to keep out your way but we'd appreciate your cooperation. Sakuno, Tomoko and An are another matter. Since they were friends with you before this whole mess started, there is no need for them to break all your ties with them. However, I get the feeling An and Tomoko won't want to talk you.
I'm truly sorry that this had to happen, but it isn't going to blow over easy, if ever. Maybe it's both parties fault. All I know is that we (Haruko, Yukino, Hana, Tsuchi, Aomi, Yamiko and yours truly) don't ever want to see you again. Please respect our wishes and stay out of our way or you'll regret it.
Ino.
"Well, that explains things quite clearly, doesn't it?" Oishi murmured, breaking the silence.
"As clear as porridge," Echizen groaned.
"Did you read senpai-tachi's letter?" Sakuno's soft voice interrupted them gently.
"Hai. We will do our best to keep out of their way," Tezuka replied, "You can tell them that."
"Arigato gozaimasu," Sakuno bowed, "The team is in pieces right now so we believe this is the best course of action. I can't really explain to you what they lost, but it's enough to make them hate you for eternity."
"But why those four?" Fuji asked her.
"Hana-senpai, Aomi-senpai, Yamiko-senpai and Tsuchi senpai are probably the most emotionally unstable at the moment. Ino-senpai wrote that for their own protection," Sakuno explained, "There's no telling what they'd do if you tried to mend bridges with them."
"I see… Is Tsuchi-san ok?" Taka couldn't help but ask.
"She's a little unstable at the moment, especially with her duo personality, but she'll be fine," Sakuno reassured them, "By the way, are you still coming to the tournament this weekend?"
"I don't think An-chan or any of the girls would like that," Momoshiro muttered.
"I want you to come," Sakuno insisted, "You don't have to sit any where near the girls. I just want you all there, because, well, you've all been so supportive of me and I want you to see what has happened partly because of your support."
"Well…," Oishi pondered.
"Ah, it's alright if you don't want to go. Ah what am I saying?" Sakuno exclaimed, distressed.
"No, no, it's ok, we'll come Ryuuzaki-chan," Eiji reassured her. The others all shrugged, why not?
"Arigato Gozaimasu!" Sakuno bowed. She left happily, unaware of the mental torture she had inflicted upon the regulars.
"You said you would go, right?" Sumire frowned at them, "Sakuno did value your support so."
"Hai," They sighed. Even Tezuka and Ryoma agreed to go, albeit extremely reluctantly.
A/N and I'm done this chapter! Oh boy, Tezuka screwed up miserably this time, didn't he? The girl's team has just been completely dissolved and now they hate the guys for life. Oh dear, this won't be very good will it?
On the brighter side, Sakuno and An finally play a game! I know, your all thinking, Finally! Even more questions will be answered in the next chapter, including Why exactly does the dissolving of the Volleyball team mean so much? Hang on tight for the next chapter!
As a side note, I'm hoping to get more than three reviews this chapter. I've only been getting two or three per chapter so far besides chapter 3. Not to sound greedy, but it's a bit of a downer. I thank all my reviewers who have stuck with me, especially sharingan-x-blossoms and White Alchemist Taya, so far. The story wouldn't have gotten anywhere without you guys!
Lub, Nyte
