Know Your Stars: Prince of Tennis
Ryuu-san: Hi, minna-san! The second installment to the Know Your Stars: Prince of Tennis is here!
Eiji: This time she'll torture Tezuka, NYA!
Ryuu-san: Looks like Eiji can't wait for the torturing to start. Yosh!
Eiji: Ryuu doesn't own us! So don't go asking to borrow us from her!
Victim Two: Tezuka Kunimitsu
The stage was quiet once again. Ryoma was now being chased by fan girls and guys to sign their poster-size picture of Ryoma in a dress. Sold by the evil announcer in a very reasonable price of $50 per sheet.
As usual, another regular was pulled onto the cursed stage. This time, it was the stoic buchou himself. Just like Ryoma, he was led out of the inescapable maze straight to the stage.
'This stage looks strangely familiar,' Tezuka thought, but remained his signature stoic look.
"Greetings, Tezuka," said a voice from above.
Tezuka looked up the ceiling.
"Who's there?" he asked calmly.
"It is I, The-"the voice stopped suddenly. Then, papers being ruffled noise was heard, "Sorry, wrong script."
"Who are you exactly?" Tezuka asked again. He shows no sign that he is annoyed.
"I'm a certified show announcer," the voice answered briefly.
"Why am I here?" Tezuka asked again.
"You are here to be a contestant of the most watched television show in the world!"
"Acceptable,"
"Okay, let's move on to business, please sit on the director chair behind you please," said the voice. Tezuka just followed the order.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Tezuka Kunimitsu," the voice echoed the stage. The studio was in complete silence.
"He got busted once for cheating in a Semester Examination," the voice exclaimed.
"Did I hear correct? Did you just say I once cheated? I never cheat," said Tezuka.
"Oh, sorry. I meant twice. Once was when he was in the second grade and when he took last year exam," the voice added.
"You're making this thing up," he replied coolly.
"Am I?" the voice asked, "Or are you just afraid the dark truth about yourself is revealed?"
"What are you talking about?"
'I'm talking about this!" then, behind Tezuka, appeared a picture of someone's permanent record file. Tezuka's to be exact.
"Where did you get that!" he raised his voice, turning his head. The audience gasped when they saw one paragraph was highlighted and zoomed in. The audiences weren't the only ones that saw it. Somehow, the other trapped regulars were seeing the entry too.
'Mr. Kunimitsu was caught red-handed cheating in an Algebra test. He was caught copying the answers he had written before the test on his table. As punishment, he was suspended from school for a week. His parents were called by the school board.'
(A/N: I don't know if this is what they wrote in those permanent record files)
"Buchou," that was all what Momo could say. Still shocked, he gulped.
"So that's why he was absent," said Eiji, "He told me that he caught the flu."
Tezuka was now red of embarrassment.
"So you lied to your teammates too?" the voice asked, smirking.
"I HAD TO DO IT, OKAY!" he yelled, almost cried.
"Okay, enough of that. Tezuka Kunimitsu, he has body odour problem," said the voice.
"I do not," he denied it calmly.
"Then, why do you use 5 bottles of spray deodorant every month?" the voice asked in a the-evidence-tells-it-all tone.
"I don't," he replied.
"So you say," said the voice.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu, he doesn't really need to wear glasses. He just thought it will attract girls more," the voice continued.
"Hey, I really need the glasses!" Tezuka retorted.
"Whatever. Tezuka Kunimitsu, his arm doesn't really hurt. He just pretended because he craved attention," the audience oooh's.
"I am not an attention-seeker," he replied," Why did you say that in the first place anyway?"
"Well, other regulars are attention-seekers, so you must be one too," the voice explained her theory.
"What? That makes no sense at all," said Tezuka.
"It makes sense to me. Like they say, 'If you're friends is smart, then, you're smart too. If you're friends is stupid, then you're stupid too'. The other regulars are attention-seekers, so you must be one 'cause you are friends with them. Simple really. Same theory, different situation," the voice elaborated.
"Nya… I've got a headache," said Eiji at the back, his head was spinning from the voice explanation.
"I've never heard that one before," said Tezuka, thinking.
"Really? I got it out of this book," the voice replied, tossing a book, which landed beautifully on Tezuka's lap.
Tezuka held the book. The book was titled Proverbs for Psychotic and Evil Announcer was written in bold, gold letterings. He sweat dropped.
"Ahem," the voice cleared her throat," Tezuka Kunimitsu, he just won a scholarship to an elite tennis college!" the voice announced.
"Hontoni!" replied Tezuka not believing what he had just heard.
"No," the voice giggled.
"Then, why did you say that?" asked Tezuka, getting annoyed.
"I lied," the voice giggled once more.
"Lying is bad," Tezuka stated.
"No one cares. Demo, if I'm not wrong, you also lied, twice," said the voice. Her eyes got that evil glint like Inui when he made new juices.
"Th-that was different!" Tezuka was now red of embarrassment.
"Really? It's doesn't to me. Let's ask the others. Is me lying different from Tezuka's lying?" the voice asked some random people.
"No, it does not," they replied, nodding casually.
"See," the voice said triumphantly.
"WHATEVER!" Tezuka yelled.
"Ooohh, Kuni-chan looses his temper," said the voice.
"SHUT UP! DON'T CALL ME KUNI-CHAN" Tezuka yelled again," I'M GONNA GET BACK AT YOU!"
"I'm so scared," said the voice sarcastically,"Now you know, Tezuka Kunimitsu, caught red-handed of cheating, kied to his teammates, got body odour problems, doesn't really need the glasses, faked his arm injuries and is nick-named Kuni-chan!"
"You come down here!" Tezuka swinging his racquet which pops out of nowhere.
"Whatever. Anyway, I have to go. There are more regulars I need to tor- I mean, interview."
"Ja," the voice started to trail off, leaving a VERY angry Tezuka behind.
