Back to where I have ended on the last chapter Gomen minna coz I was pretty busy with school work and stuff Plus I did not know what to write Hopefully this chapter is still to you liking

All these were seen by two individuals in the dark. Both had eyes filled with jealously…

Tezuka walked into the courts, trying not to show the scene that he had just saw, trying to tell himself to cool down, but he knew he couldn't…He felt like going straight up to that jumpy redhead and tell him to stay away from his boyfriend. But miraculously, Tezuka managed to keep his cool..not exactly but he did managed to send the regulars off on a warm up of 60 rounds and also push aside the urge to pull Oishi aside to talk to him. Privately.

"Nya…Is Buchou not in a very good mood today…sending us on a 60 round for warm up…." Eiji whined as he ran his warm up laps.

"Saa…Eiji, I wonder why…" Fuji who was beside him, tried to drop him a hint but of course, Eiji being Eiji, wouldn't get the hint.

"According to my calculations, it is 75 linked to Oishi." Inui who was beside Fuji said.
At the mention of Oishi, Eiji's ears perked up.

"Nya, why is it linked to Oishi? Oh no! It must be Kuni-buchou is angry at Oishi! But for what?"

"Kuni-buchou? Il data…" Inui swipped out his notebook to scribble in it. Eiji sweat-dropped. How could anyone write while they are running.

Oishi who was quietly behind them heard what they said and realized that it would be a long talk he and Kunimitsu are going to have later.

"Practice's over." Announced Ryuzaki-sensei and thus ending the day's practice. The regulars were gathered in the club house. Soon everyone left except for Fuji, Eiji, Momo, Oishi and Tezuka. Sensing the increasing tension in the clubhouse, Momo hurried Eiji to leave for burgers.

"Eiji-senpai! Hurry up! I am getting hungry!"

"Okay okay! Ja minna!" Eiji said and rushed out of the club house with Momo. Soon, Fuji left and thus left Oishi and Tezuka in the club house. Alone.

Sensing the somewhat awkward tension, Oishi started talking about something general but he hit the nail on the wrong spot.

"Kunimitsu, practice today was a bit hard don't you think? The warm-up was a bit harsh, Eiji was complaining throughou …" Before Oishi could complete his sentence, Tezuka looked up from what he was doing. With annoyed eyes, Eyes that showed that he was running out of patience.

"It is Eiji again isn't it…" Tezuka started speaking.

Eiji was walking with Momo when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his notebook back at the clubhouse.

"Nya…Gomen Momo, I need to go back to the clubhouse to retrieve something…looks like I have to miss the burgers trip today…Gomen ne" Eiji said as he turned back to run back to the clubhouse.

"Wei..Eiji SENPAI!" Momo shouted as Eiji quickly ran out of sight. "Sheesh…Eiji sempai is all weird today…" Momo scratched his head as he continued to walk towards the burger joint...As he neared the burger joint, he caught a glimpse of Ryoma there with Ryuzaki Sakuno.

Eiji rushed back to the clubhouse as fast as he could…in the notebook were stuff that he did not want anyone to know.

As he neared the clubhouse, he heard voices in it…
"It is Eiji again isn't it…" Eiji was shocked to hear his name in the conversation. But he remained at that position, hoping that no one had discovered him. Then he heard Tezuka-buchou speak again.

"Shuu, I have had enough…The way he is stuck to you…the way he talks to you, it is obvious that he likes you more than a friend or even as the other of the golden pair." Eiji unknowingly gasped, how did buchou knew…then he heard Oishi spoke.

"Kunimitsu, I told you that day already didn't I? You are my boyfriend, I know that too and I told you very clearly that I have feeling only towards you and not him…you should know better than to try accuse me…shouldn't you?" Eiji felt his heart stopped beating.

"Then why can't you just tell him the truth and try to stop him from clinging onto you?"
"That is cause…cause."Oishi found himself speechless, not knowing what to tell Tezuka. He didn't know what to say, plus he was certain that he did not like Eiji that way.

"Cause what Shuu?" Tezuka asked.

"Cause it would break him…he is just confusing his own feelings up…I can see that…and cause I treat him as my friend, nothing more. And I would not want to hurt him."

At this point, Eiji couldn't help but felt himself thumped to the floor. This was too much for him to take…He sat down there, and then suddenly remembering the reason for him returning to the clubhouse. He stood up, and tried to act surprised when he entered the clubhouse, when in fact, he was breaking inside.

"NYA! Oishi! Tezuka! What are you still doing here?" Eiji tried to sound as him as possible and hurriedly went to retrieve his notebook.

"AH! I forgot this! Haha.! I need it for tomorrow!"

Oishi could sense that something was wrong with Eiji through that laughter of his. It was not…normal.
Then, Tezuka spoke up.
"Shuu …tell him…"

"Kunimitsu? Tell him what?" Oishi said trying not to sound irritated.

He called him Kunimitsu…and he called Oishi Shuu… Eiji thought to himself.

"Just tell him…" Tezuka's tone went stern.

"But…"
Then Eiji spoke…trying hard not to let his voice tremble.

"Nya…Oishi…I know…I heard…I…I….I am sorry Oishi to cause you so much trouble…I will not cling onto you anymore…We are just friends right…yea…friends …Ja ne Oishi! See you tomorrow…"

With that, Eiji walked out of the clubhouse, trying not stable himself and not collapsed before he reached his house.

"Maa..te…Eiji…I am sorry..We are still…" Oishi said in a soft voice.

"The Golden Pair? Yea…I guess so..We are just the Golden Pair…" Eiji said in a even softer voice that no one had heard him in before. "Bye…Oishi." Eiji said before running off.

"Kunimitsu …Is this what you want?" Oishi said turning to Tezuka.

" It is better if we make things clear."

"But not if you have to hurt someone just to get them to know the truth."

" I just wanted to get back what is mine." Tezuka spoke as though he had done nothing wrong.

Oishi lost it when he heard Tezuka say that.

"What do you mean by what is yours? Kunimitsu…I might be your boyfriend but I do have friends…it doesn't mean that you can go around trashing them just cause you are my boyfriend does it?"

"I don't go around trashing your friends, I only told Eiji the truth cause he is clinging onto you too much."

"You don't have to crush him do you?"

" I did not crush him…I merely told him the truth. Why are you so bothered? He would be fine tomorrow."

"BECAUSE EIJI IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIEND AND DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE CRUSHED HIM BY DOING THAT! THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO RID OF WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CRUSH PEOPLE COMPLETELY." Oishi shouted.

Calming himself down, he said, " Tezuka…I think both of us need to cool off for a while, why don't we put our relationship on hold. Just for a while." Oishi said before grabbing his bag and walking out of the clubhouse. " I will see you tomorrow, Tezuka-buchou…"

Tezuka was shocked by Oishi's sudden outburst. But he was even more shocked by what Oishi had said. And the way Oishi had addressed him…it was a total stranger to him.

Gomen Minna…I know this chapter is werid again….and Tezuka is totally out of character…I will try to write better next time…Reviews please..thank you!
