Warning: TEZUKA! Even though he is not in this chapter…

Chapter 4:

"I wanna take the roller coaster!" Akaya said excitedly as he dragged Yukimura with him through the parking lot.

"Akaya, you are going to rip my arm off." Yukimura chuckled as he followed the five year old. "Sorry buchou… but I'm so excited! It's been so long since I've was here last time." Akaya said as he turned and smiled the biggest (and most adorable) smile he could.

Yukimura ruffled the child's curly hair and smiled (very down) at him. "We have to wait for Sanada." Yukimura said and nodded his head to the fukubuchou who had just come running behind them. (He is getting old…)

"But bratling, are you sure you are tall enough to get on the roller coaster?" Niou, who was walking beside them, asked. Wait… he hadn't thought about that. "If you want to take the rollercoaster you have to be at least this tall." Niou said and held up his hand that was definitely higher than Akaya could reach.

"You are pretty small for a 5 year old." Marui (who was five feet four) said as he looked down at Akaya. "I'm not small!" Akaya protested and glared up at his senpai. "I'm sorry Kirihara-kun, but you are indeed smaller than most of the 5 year-olds these days." Yagyuu said as he pushed up his glasses, looking at Akaya thoughtfully.

(How did he know that Akaya had turned small? I never told him.)

"Don't be so harsh on him, let's just enjoy our group activity." Yanagi said as he came up to them with their tickets. "And since there is a 99 percent chance that Akaya wants to start with the roller coaster, let's start with the zoo."

"How is that fair?!" Akaya shouted and glared up at Yanagi. "Nothing is fair in this world," Yanagi answered simply and left Akaya behind puzzled.

They started with lions as Akaya tried to imitate the lion. "Raaaawrrrr!" Akaya roared as some girls giggled behind him. The lion just turned his head and ignored him. Akaya sent a glare at the lion.

"You're doing it wrong," Niou said with an "I'm the expert" voice. "Then how do I do it right?" Akaya asked his master. "Like this…" Niou took a deep breath and…

"TARUNDORU! Niou, this is unacceptable behavior from a Rikkai regular!" Sanada roared and simply scared the living shit out of the lion and the other guests. "Why are you shouting at me? Akaya did it too," Niou complained and looked up at his uncle… I mean Sanada.

"Yeah…but…" Sanada mumbled as he, for the first time in his lifetime, was unsure. "Let's continue to the monkeys." Yukimura interrupted, glad to make peace between his team.

"Doesn't he remind you of someone, buchou?" Akaya giggled as he pointed at a brown monkey who was sitting on the top of a little mountain of stuffed animals. Yukimura looked up at the monkey Akaya was pointing to and chuckled.

"It looks indeed like Genichiro," Yukimura said loud enough for everyone to just barely hear it. The regulars tried their best to stifle their laughs as Sanada tried his best to stop himself from slapping the other regulars. Even Yagyuu's mouth twitched the tiniest bit. He was a gentleman; and gentlemen did not laugh out of the blue, especially not in public.

After that they fed the goats and Marui became victim of… let's just say that his hair got shorter. Yukimura got some nice pictures of the incident- they would come in handy if he wanted to blackmail Marui… and poor old Sanada ended up being ignored by the goats as not one of them liked him.

Yagyuu, strangely, was allergic to goats so he decided to keep a long distance. Yanagi was spouting every single fact he knew about goats, but no one listened to him. Akaya and Niou were the only ones to actually feed the goats... except for poor Marui, who tried and received a haircut (courtesy of whom?).

"Where are we going next?" Akaya asked as they enjoyed some takoyaki next to the fountain which was in the middle of the park.

"You wanted to take the rollercoaster, right?" Yukimura asked as he ate the last one. Akaya grinned- he had been waiting so long! The other things they did were fun and all, but nothing and I repeat nothing was more fun than riding a rollercoaster (except tennis and violent/erotic manga).

"Ah... where is Yagyuu and Yanagi-senpai?" The second year ace asked as he hadn't heard any talk concerning percents or whatever Yagyuu could do to show that he was also there.

"Yagyuu went to find a toilet," Marui said as he glanced over at the "innocent" Niou. "I don't know where Yanagi is," Marui said as no one had actually seen Yanagi for awhile.

"Sorry, kiddo, but you're not tall enough," One of the attendants said as he smiled down at the flabbergasted Akaya. They were currently standing outside the fence which separated them from the rollercoaster line.

"I'm tall enough," Akaya protested and glared up at the man. "I'm sorry but rules are rules." The guard continued as he looked down at the five-year old... but then suddenly something changed. What was he going to do? The guard thought.

"But I wanna ride the rollercoaster." Akaya said as you could clearly hear his voice breaking up. Tears started welling up in Akaya's sea green eyes. The guard started to panic now.

"Don't cry now, Akaya." A warm voice said. The guard looked behind Akaya to find an older boy with blue hair. "B...buchou... that stupid old man is bullying me." Akaya sobbed and turned to the older boy, who only chuckled.

"Did you just call me old?! I'm twenty-seven and I'm just telling him that he isn't tall enough!" The guard said in defense. "Don't cry Akaya, I'm sure that the stupid old man knows what is best. We can come back when you get back to normal."

The 'stupid old man' only looked at them closely. What did they mean 'normal'? Was the kid a demon or something? He looked like one.

"But I want to ride the rollercoaster now!" Akaya complained and looked pleadingly up at Yukimura.

"'Mura-buchou! Hurry up!" Niou shouted from rollercoaster. "You can wait here with Genichiro. It's only going to take five minutes. So don't cry," Yukimura said and tried to calm the younger boy.

Sanada only stared at them. Why did he have to wait with Akaya? He knew that Seiichi knew that he was afraid of heights, but he also knew that he being alone with Akaya could be worse.

"You promise?" Akaya asked and looked up with the biggest puppy eyes he could managed.

"Promise."

"I can't believe I'm standing here with fukubuchou! Ahhhh... I'm hungry." Akaya complained loud enough for Sanada to hear it. Sanada looked at the watch and found it to already been ten minutes since the others had left. He glanced over at a poster that was hanging on the fence.

'The super roller coaster, only for the bravest, will take up to 30 minutes of complete fun and exhilaration!'

"30 minutes!" Sanada exclaimed and widened his eyes a tiny bit.

"What's wrong fukubuchou? You look older than usual." Akaya said a little annoyed as he looked up at the older teenager. Sanada sighed. He couldn't say that it would be twenty minutes til Seiichi and the others came back.

"Genichiro!" A very familiar voice shouted through the crowd. Sanada turned his head to find a familiar big brother jumping through the crowd up to him with a worried expression. "You need to help me, I need to go to the toilet!" Toshiyuki shouted.

"...Then go to the toilet," Sanada answered awkwardly. "You don't understand, I'm working on the stand over there and I can't hold myself anymore! I asked the owner and we agreed that you could take over for me, thanks." Toshiyuki said and disappeared instantly.

"Akaya, We are..." Sanada turned to look at the place the 'child' had been standing awhile ago. So, yeah, where was he now...?!

What is that? Akaya wondered as he eyed on something in between the crowd that was walking by. His curiosity took charge and he somehow managed to get to the thing without getting trampled to death. (Amazing, right?) It was some kind of ticket.

He looked down at the ticket to find out that it was a "Get 2 free ice creams" ticket. The child smirked. Finders keepers, right? But where was the person who sold it? Akaya somehow managed to get out of the crowd and looked around once again. The only thing he could see was a lot of food and game stands. But where was the ice cream stand?

"Are you lost kid?" Akaya turned to look up at probably the tallest guard ever. "No... I was looking for this place," Akaya said and showed him the ticket. The man was seriously huge. Was his mother a giraffe and his father an elephant or something?

"That's in the zoo section," The man answered and pointed out the way. "Thanks..." Akaya said and took a few slow steps backwards before he set off like a cannon.

"Here you are," Jackal said and smiled as he gave a boy his strawberry ice. This was actually the only thing he had done today. After Marui had used up all his money he had taken a little job at the amusement park. It was fun, save for the fact that people called him bald... even though he was bald, it still hurt. (Why...?)

"Ahh, mister this is spinach flavor, I wanted strawberry." The boy from earlier complained.

"There it is!" Akaya exclaimed and smiled as he finally sighted the ice cream stand. As he was bouncing like a rabbit up to heaven, he seemed to recognize the boy working behind the counter.

That dark skin... bald... bad fashion taste... egg head. Jackal-senpai!?

"Here you are." Jackal said and gave the annoyed boy the right ice cream. "You're lucky I didn't sue you." The boy muttered as he walked away. Jackal sighed. Why was he such an underrated character?... (Don't you dare go any closer to the fourth wall!)

"Jackal-senpai, give me two chocolate ice-creams!" A familiar voice said, smiling, but more like an order.

"Akaya, what are you doing here and where did you get the money from to buy ice-cream?" Jackal asked as he turned to extract the ice-cream...

"I found a free ticket for ice cream!... yeah, this is a group activity." Akaya informed as he showed the ticket to the stunned boy.

"Here you are." Jackal said while he gave the boy both of the ice creams. Wait? Group activity? Why wasn't he invited?

"Thanks, I need to go back before anyone discovers that I'm gone." (Too late...) Akaya smiled and licked both ice-cream cones. It was like heaven...

Jackal looked after the boy who continued on his journey back to the emperor (Sanada). Wait, again. Akaya was alone, walking alone...this could end badly.

Sanada had officially started to panic, even if it was in his own head. Where was Akaya? Had something happened?

"Genichiro, where is Akaya?" Yukimura's familiar voice sang trough the air. Sanada froze. This was bad. He might be the fukubuchou of Rikkai, a man with nearly no fears but this was bad. Their youngest member was gone.

"You lost him?" Marui asked blankly as he popped a new strip of gum into his mouth.

"If he's gone, let's look for him," Yukimura said reasonably, but he was emitting a dark aura. Sanada Genichiro had just signed up for the "Yukimura Seiichi's soon-to-die" list.

"I'm sorry!" Akaya apologized as he looked up at the boy he had just walked into and spilled ice cream all over. Akaya recognized the man as a third year from his school. It looked like one of the old regulars he had beaten.

Was it... Sasabe? "Sorry is nothing, dork, look want you did with my shirt!" He growled and glared down at the child. "I can... wash it for you," Akaya offered.

"Wash it? Are you a girl or something?... wait..." Sasabe said more thoughtfully and crouched down in front of Akaya. Akaya could only stand there awkwardly as Sasabe 'looked him over'.

"That face of yours...you look like that bastard who took my regular spot." Akaya froze in his place as he tried to look away from Sasabe. "What about we make a deal, kid? Get my backpack down from that tree," Sasabe said as he pointed to a tall tree that stood behind the ice cream stand. "B...but your bag is on your back..." Akaya pointed out.

Sasabe only smiled as he led Akaya up to the tree.

Jackal looked after them as his "instincts" called. That was Sasabe from his class, right? "Owner, I'll take my break now," Jackal said to an old man looking at dirty pictures. (That's what everyone does these days, right?)

"Look, now there's a bag up there, get it down and you're free to go." Sasabe said as he managed to get his bag onto the tree's highest branch. (Superman…)

Akaya looked up. Was it just him or was the tree…really tall? Not that he was afraid of heights (that's Sanada), but… "Get a move on, I don't have all day." Sasabe said.

What's going on? Jackal wondered as he looked over at Sasabe. "Jackal!" A voice shouted. The Brazilian boy turned to find Marui running up to him. "Have you seen Akaya?" "He's over there with Sasabe," Jackal said and pointed, his eyes widening. His tendency to worry kicked in as he saw the boy climbing up the tree. What if he fell?

"Oi, Sasabe, what do you think you are doing?" Marui asked as he and Jackal went up to Sasabe. Sasabe turned to them and smugly smirked. "I'm just teaching a lesson."

That damn Sasabe, I said I was sorry, Akaya mumbled in his head as he tried his best to hold on to a branch. The green-eyed boy glanced down at the ground for a second.

I-it's not t-t-that far down… only two m-m-meters, probably. Who was he kidding? This was scary, climbing in trees was only child's play before (he is a child)... but now… T-this is n-nothing, I'm not fukubuchou… I only need to look up.

"This could be dangerous, Sasabe, what if he falls down?" Jackal said in a worried voice. "So what? I need my bag." Sasabe said as he pointed up at the bag, which hanging on a very tall branch.

"Bastard…" Marui muttered and glared at Sasabe.

Just a little longer! Akaya thought as he stretched his hands after the bag. He had finally managed to climb to the top but only to have the bag some few feet away from him. Akaya dragged himself carefully after the bag. I…nearly! His small hands barely grasped the bag but then he noticed… wasn't the branch bending a little…?

"Come on, I don't have all day brat!" Sasabe shouted from the ground. Akaya looked down to find Jackal and Marui staring up at him. "I'm doing my best!" Akaya shouted as he dragged himself a little further out on the branch.

*crack*

The boy froze. No, the branch did just not make that sound. He needed to hurry. Akaya managed to take a hold of the bag. It's heavy! A cold breeze went by (ahh... the joy) and he suddenly couldn't feel the branch under him anymore.

There was nothing under him air and hard earth where he would soon be lying on. Not a single sound escaped from his mouth as he had probably not felt so scared for years.

All of a sudden, Akaya hit something. But it wasn't the ground. It was soft... it was a person!

"Akaya!" He heard someone shout. The boy looked puzzled and in relief at his two senpai. "Are you alright?" Marui asked.

"I…I think so, I landed on this mattress…" Akaya said, still puzzled. "Thank God that you are alright." Jackal sighed in relief.

Suddenly, there was a movement under Akaya. The second year ace looked down. "Yanagi-senpai!" Akaya exclaimed and jumped up. "The…re is … no.. such... thing…like…fa..irness in... this... world," He mumbled as he slowly inflated again.

"Akaya!" The three or four or maybe five people looked up to find the rest of the regulars (except Yagyuu). "Hmm... you're alive!" Yukimura said in mild relief as he gazed down at the child.

"You're not hurt, are you brat?" Niou who came up beside him asked. "I..don't think so." Akaya mumbled, enjoying the attention.

"Sasabe?" Sanada asked curiously as Sasabe was staring at them in horror. "I have nothing to do with this!" Sasabe said in defense.

"He made Akaya climb the tree after he threw the bag up," Jackal usefully. (What, was he useless?)

After that… let's just say that Sasabe didn't play tennis or go into the public for a while after that...

"So, was it fun at the park, Toto-chan?" Toshiyuki asked as they ate dinner. "Probably not, since Oji-san was there," Sasuke mumbled as he slurped his noodles. Sanada popped a vein, as he hated that name.

"I got out alive," Akaya said proudly as he got some awkward looks from Toshiyuki and Sasuke.

MEANWHILE BY THE TREE:

"What happened…" Yanagi mumbled as he sat up from the ground. The last thing he remembered was that something crashed into him. Actually he didn't remember anything before that happened. What happened to him? He only remembered the goats and Marui's hair…

"Hey, kid, what are you doing sleeping out here?" One of the guards asked as he saw Yanagi lying on the ground. Yanagi sat up… "What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock at night…"

MEANWHILE IN AN UNKNOWN BATHROOM:

"Damn that Niou..." Yagyu said as he was sitting on the toilet. How long had he been sitting there? He couldn't tell but his stomach hurt. How could he accept food from Niou?
