Chapter Sixteen: Pairings
The members of U-17 camp plus the new ichinen trio plus the girls and Ryoga are still gathered inside the audio video room. Still laughing at Ryoma.
"Seriously, stop laughing!" Ryoma muttered.
Everyone tried to stop until only snickers or chuckles are heard.
Wiping the tears out of the corner of his eyes, Momoshiro said to the girls, "Well, since the shows are finished, what will you guys do now? Will you leave?"
"It's already evening. It's dangerous for girls to go home alone. They better stay here another night." Oishi suggested. The girls agreed and silence followed. No one dared to leave the room.
"So... what now?" An asked.
Tomoka picked up a notebook out of nowhere and said, "Well then. This is the perfect time to talk about this."
For some reason, the players in the room gulped in fear. They feel that something bad will happen.
Tomoka coughed and stated, "According to the internet, there are many fan girls pairing you guys up with other guys. With that said, I will now announce the pairing names!"
"WHAT!" was their reaction.
"It's not a yaoi thing mind you! It's when you pair up in doubles." Tomoka said with a smile although deep inside she was thinking of yaoi.
"Well then, the most common pairings are..." Tomoka started.
"Tezuka-senpai and Atobe-san are known as Imperial Pair. The name is self-explanatory." Tomoka shared.
Some of the players 'ooh-ed' with Eiji commenting, "What a high class name."
Tomoka continued, "Next up is Ryoma-sama and Atobe-san."
"What? There is no way I'm pairing up with monkey king in a doubles match. And I hate doubles." Ryoma blurted out.
"Same here. Ore-sama would never want to pair up with you." Atobe arrogantly said.
"You two are called the Royal Pair. Prince and King~ So fitting~" Tomoka fangirled.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously. She is definitely not thinking of doubles pairings here.
Tomoka coughed again trying to get rid of her fangirlish mind and said, "Moving on. Ryoma-sama and Tezuka-senpai are called the Pillar Pair. It's obvious why... Then we all know the Golden Pair. Then Kikumaru-senpai and Fuji-senpai are called the Dream Pair."
"That's cute, nya!" Eiji shouted while glomping at Fuji. Fuji on the other hand just kept his usual smile on.
"Sanada-san and Yukimura-san are called the Alpha Pair while Niou-san and Yagyuu-san are the Platinum Pair. There's also Niou-san and Kirihara-san as the Trick Pair."
Kirihara blinked, "Trick Pair? Why? Only Niou-senpai tricks people. Does that mean he's the leader in our doubles? I object to that pairing! It should be called Devil Pair!"
Everyone ignored his whining and continued on with the list. Tomoka then looked at her notebook again to read the next but kept quiet. Everyone looked at her questioningly. All of a sudden, she stifled a giggle.
"Yanagi-san and Kirihara-san are called the Kinky Pair." Tomoka said in between a fit of giggles.
"Why the heck are they called that?" Marui sweatdropped.
"What is kinky?" Kirihara innocently asked. Niou just patted his head.
"Who knows what's inside fan girls' minds." Tomoka, who stopped giggling, answered.
With what she said, everyone thought, 'Aren't you one of them?'
Tomoka continued, "Oh, Kirihara-san's wish came true. The next pair is Diabolic Pair for Marui-san and Kirihara-san."
"How did my wish came true?" Kirihara asked once again.
"Geez Akaya. Fix up on your vocabulary." Marui said.
Tomoka continued, "If there's Golden Pair, there is also Silver Pair which consists of Shishido-san and Ootori-san and then Bronze Pair for Amane-san and Kurobane-san. Tango Pair for Sanada-san and Atobe-san and kyaaa! Thrill Pair!"
They all sweatdropped. An snatched the notebook away from Tomoka while she fangirled and read, "Fuji Syuusuke and Echizen Ryoma."
"Fan girls are starting to scare me." Kenya commented.
"That Thrill Pair must be a loved pair for that girl to act like a fan girl." Zaizen added.
"No, I'm pretty sure she just likes that pair." Sakuno sweatdropped.
An coughed to get attention and said, "Well, since Osakada-chan's in fan girl mode, I'll be taking over. Next up is Emerald Pair for Kaidoh-kun and Inui-san. I wonder why? Ooh, this next one is nice. Perfect Pair goes to Tezuka-san and Fuji-kun!"
"Ahn~? How could ore-sama not be named perfect?" Atobe demanded.
"You? Perfect? Don't make me laugh." Ryoma scoffed.
"You've been getting on ore-sama's nerves since Chapter Nine Episode Three, brat." Atobe vein popped.
"Moving on!" An shouted, trying to cut Atobe and Ryoma's battle, "...Huh? Why is this named Dirty Pair? Tsk. Fan girls."
'Aren't you one yourself as well?' Everyone thought once again.
"Dirty Pair consists of Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto. Maybe it's because of Oshitari-san's sensual voice..." An thought out loud.
"I have a voice like that?" Yuushi asked in his 'sensual voice' and fan girls reading this and imagining it had a nosebleed.
An scanned the list again and skips some pairings looking for interesting ones. Sakuno sweatdropped at her serious expression in finding a decent pairing.
"This one is cute. Kikumaru-kun and Echizen-kun are called the Neko Pair." An excitedly said while blushing at the cuteness of it.
"Nyahaha! I can see why." Eiji commented while glomping the still tied up Ryoma. Poor him, unable to resist Eiji's or any other senpais' attacks.
"Huh? There's a second name for Kikumaru-kun and Echizen-kun. It's from a game with you people as characters in that game." An said.
"Oh my gosh! We're all famous! Being made into a game, that's so cool!" Jiroh excitedly shouted.
"You two are also called Eye-Sight Pair." An continued, "And hahahahaha!" Unfortunately, An laughed so much she can't read and dropped the notebook.
Sakuno sweatdropped and picked it up and scanned it, "Hmm... No Sociability Pair for Kaidoh-senpai and Ryoma-kun."
Some of the people in the room laughed out loud, some snickered and some just displayed stoic expressions. Kaidoh bowed his head in embarrassment while Ryoma just sighed. He's getting used to being laughed at in this fic.
Sakuno continued, "... Huh? Destiny Pair for Atobe-san and Kamio-san?"
Momoshiro laughed out loud, "What the heck? That is one pairing that might never happen!"
"And why the heck are we called Destiny?" Atobe asked, annoyed in being paired up with a nobody. Atobe's so mean. I mean, I'm mean since I'm writing this.
"Sengoku-san and Aoi-san are called the Girl Lovers Pair..." Sakuno continued reading, starting to think strangely of whoever thought up these pairing names.
"... Bad for Echizen Pair?" Sakuno blushed as she saw who it was. Tomoka, who got over her fan girl mode of the Thrill Pair, snatched the notebook.
"Bad for Echizen consists of Momo-senpai and Sakuno." Tomoka smirked.
Momoshiro laughed again and teased, "I know why it's called that! It's so bad for Echizen seeing his beloved pair up with his best friend."
Ryoma glared at him but Momoshiro continued teasing him since Ryoma was tied up anyways. He has to make use of his current situation.
Tomoka was about to continue but Kintarou snatched the notebook away and shouted the pairing that he finds funny, "Age Unknown Pair is Koshimae's captain and the sea weed head's vice captain."
"State their names properly, Kin-chan." Shiraishi lightly scolded with a sweatdrop on his head.
Tezuka's eyes were hidden while Sanada starts to walk towards Kintarou. He definitely is planning on ripping the notebook apart. But then, Sanada stopped seeing Kintarou's innocent expression. He remembered the fatherly feelings he had for the little kid during the loser's training camp (See Witness Talk chapter) and couldn't bear to move forward. Sanada's every movement was watched by the Rikkaidai members who were now wearing teasing smiles on their faces. They already know what the heck Sanada was thinking.
Kintarou continued reading on not knowing about Sanada's intentions, "Sweet Pair for Marui Bunta and Akutagawa Jiroh."
"YAY! Marui-kun and I have a pairing name! YAHOO!" Jiroh shouted at the top of his lungs as he flew and glomped on Marui.
"You're too excited over a pairing name." Marui sweatdropped as he thought, 'Tsk, fan boys.'
"Then there's Adorable Pair for Atobe Keigo and Akutagawa Jiroh." Kintarou gasped, "You're two timing!"
Jiroh gasped in horror, "NOOO! I never planned on cheating on you Marui-kun!"
Everyone wore a blank face at the crazy things happening inside that very room.
"There's also this Extremely Cute Pair for Sengoku Kiyosumi and Ryuzaki Sakuno." Kintarou continued on.
Everyone whistled and Ryoma twitched. Sakuno blushed while Sengoku flirted.
Momoshiro nudged Ryoma on the shoulder using his elbow and teased, "Your girl's being stolen away while you're all tied up. How does being heartbroken feel?"
"Shut up." Ryoma simply countered. He's getting tired of being made fun of after that last episode.
"Don't feel bad Koshimae~" Kintarou cheered him up while poking Ryoma's cheek with his pointer finger, "Here, this Ponta Pair is for you and onigiri girl!"
Ryoma blankly stared, "That doesn't cheer me up at all."
"OH! Another one! Beginner Pair for Dan Taichi and Ryuzaki Sakuno! Onigiri girl, you're such a pimp!" Kintarou shouted. Sakuno bowed her head and blushed thinking, 'Why is he only telling about me? In the first place, why am I even included in that list?' Sakuno took a glance at Tomoka, who was the source of the list, only to be greeted with a thumbs up from her.
Kintarou looked over the list again and gasped, "Shiraishi and Fuji Syuusuke are called Ecstasy Pair! WHY? They should be called Poisonous Pair or Evil Pair!"
Tomoka then stole from the complaining Kintarou her notebook and continued, "Tezuka-senpai and Yukimura-san are called the Heavenly Pair."
Everyone looked at the two mentioned with amazed faces thinking about when they pair up, they would be unbeatable and it would really be a heavenly match.
"But they are also called Hospital Pair." Tomoka added.
Everyone fell face plant on the ground. What a way to ruin their amazement.
Tomoka continued on, "There's also the Orange Pair for our special guest here! Echizen Ryoga and Ryoma-sama~"
"And I thought I was being forgotten." Ryoga muttered.
"Why orange?" Kenya asked.
"It's something between us..." Ryoma answered.
Tomoka blankly stated, "Rookie-Prodigy Pair for Ryoma-sama and Tooyama-kun. Well, it's too plain. Can't fan girls think up of a more creative name for them?"
'Isn't she a fan girl as well, why doesn't she complain to her fellow fan girls about it?' Everyone thought.
"Sleeping Pair for Akutagawa-san and Ryoma-sama." Tomoka said.
"That fits them so well." Choutarou commented.
"Yeah, especially after that witness talk." Gakuto added.
"Oooh! This pair name fits Niou-san and Fuji-senpai. The Sly Pair." Tomoka continued.
... Awkward Silence.
Everyone thought of the scary things that will happen if those two ever pair up. Now that you think of it, shouldn't Niou be also included in the devils' room?
Tomoka coughed, "Moving on. The Teddy Bear Pair for Kikumaru-senpai and Ootori-san. So cute~"
"Every pairing with Eiji has a cute name." Oishi sweatdropped.
An peeked on the notebook and coughed a laugh, "What the heck is this pairing name? Tezuka-Supporters Pair composed of Fuji Syuusuke and Oishi Shuichiroh."
Sweatdrop and some laughter. Seriously, who thought up of that name? Tsk. Fan girls...
"This is getting pretty crazy. Where did you get this list, Osakada-chan?" An asked.
Tomoka answered, "Where else? The handy dandy internet~ But yeah, it is getting crazy with this Tofu Pair of Atobe-san and Fuji-senpai. Seriously? Tofu? What the heck?"
Everyone in the room sweatdropped.
Sakuno pointed at a certain part of the notebook, "This one fits. Trick or Treat Pair of Niou-san and Marui-san."
Kirihara shouted, "Yeah it fits! Niou-senpai being the trickster and Marui-senpai liking treats!"
Tomoka closed her notebook.
"Why'd you close it?" Kenya asked.
"Some are just too crazy and some are just too common already. Anyway, I hear the bell. It's time for dinner." Tomoka said, standing up.
Not noticing the time, their stomachs grumbled altogether. Sweatdrops filled the room.
"Anyway, let's head over to the dining room." Shiraishi suggested. One by one they left the room while chatting amongst themselves.
"Make sure you don't start another food fight, Mamushi." Momoshiro teased.
"Whose fault was it in the first place, peach head." Kaidoh countered and they continued their endless insults at each other.
They finally left the audio visual room after like, ten chapters. Wait a minute...
Outside the audio visual room, Momoshiro stopped having verbal insults with Kaidoh as he muttered, "I feel like I'm forgetting something..."
"... They didn't untie me." Ryoma whispered as he was left all alone in the audio visual room tied to a chair.
