A/N: OK! You guys can kill me after this, I swear. I'M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU ALL WAIT -WAILS- ...Oh. by the way? Ending? Totally Iori's fault (aka the co-writer/slave driver) SO ATTACK HER.
IN WHICH. SHE NOW HAS A THING. luicidvisions -- ATTACK!
"Where are we going, aniki?"
"Shh! You'll ruin the surprise, Yuuta!" Syuusuke giggled and helped his younger brother down the hall, but only so far as around the corner, where a small desk and chair were and Kikumaru's hospital room was still in view. Yuuta didn't look pleased, and rolled his eyes.
"For the last time, what surprise?"
"You'll see! Now, shh!" With that, the older clamped his hand over Yuuta's mouth, watching the door with a sadistic grin as the elevator across from the room dinged. Syuusuke patted his younger brother on the head and gave him a soft push into the chair, then calmly striding over to the wait for the sliding doors to open. The minute they did, a frantic Oishi darted out, right into Fuji's waiting arm. The tensai had smartly stepped aside to avoid getting attacked, and now smiled at his captive, "Oishi-san, you're in such a hurry."
"Fuji! Please--need to hurry--Eiji!" The vice-captain was panicking, and Fuji was absolutely loving it. It was good to be back in control of his sadism.
"He's fine. You know he heals fast," The tensai smiled his ever innocent smile, "Besides. Do you think it would be good for him to find you panicking? He'll start panicking too"
"You're right...I'm...I'm calm." Oishi took a few calming breaths, although he soon whimpered and clung to the tensai desperately, "What happened? How?!"
"Calm down, it was all just a misunderstanding." Fuji gave the shaking player a light push, "Now remember. Calm. I'm going to call Tezuka, so I'll be down the hall"
"He's downstairs," Oishi said, blushing a bit, "He said he didn't trust me coming on my own while I was panicking."
Pleased with this news, and barely listening to the explaination, Fuji practically bounced into the elevator, impatiently tapping his foot while waiting for the evil technology to move.
Oishi sighed and slowly pushed the door open to his friend's room, looking horrified by the cast, "Eiji...?"
Bright blue eyes looked up expectantly, and Oishi smiled in relief, though the smile fell when he noticed the pout on the red head's face.
"You're not Fujiko! I want Fujiko!" The red head waved his arms about in an attempt to flail. Oishi's mouth dropped open at this.
"B-but...Eiji--"
"No! Fujiko--...wait. You know my name? Who're you?" Kikumaru tilted his head in confusion, "Nyao?"
Horror passed over the player's face, followed by a crestfallen look. Eiji must've been hit harder than we thought...Oishi sniffed, turning to leave. It wasn't until he heard a giggle that he turned around, again confused.
"Silly Oishi! You give up too easy!" Kikumaru held out his arms like a little child waiting to get picked up, "Of course I know who my Oishi-bear is!" The red head giggled again at the blush going across his partner's face before he started whining, "Oo-ishiiiiii! Huuuuug!" He again pouted.
Oishi sighed, going over to hug his partner with a defeated smile, "I'll assume that was Fuji's idea?"
"Only partially! I came up with it, he just said we should play a trick!" The bright kitten smile defeated the vice captain's urge to have a nervous breakdown.
"You're an imp."
"But you love meeee!" Kikumaru giggled, latching around his partner's neck with a big smile, "And I love my Oishi-bear!"
Downstairs, Fuji easily found Tezuka. He was the only one glaring at people as they came in and scaring them away, and the only person that looked like he shouldn't be wearing a jr. high uniform but was. With a half-sadistic grin, he snuck up on his captain, slid onto the bench quietly, and latched around his waist from behind, squealing like a school girl, "Aw, 'Kuni-chan!"
That caused everyone to turn and look. Just like he'd wanted them too. Tezuka's cheeks flared red and he stood abruptly, dragging the giggling boy behind him. He stopped once he was sure no one else who'd seen the small scene was around, and hissed at the tensai, "What do you think you're doing?!"
"I think it's called public display of affection, PDA for short, and is when one side, or both, of a couple begin to touch each other in ways that could get them thrown out of a store or such." Fuji purred, giggling when the red again returned to his captain's face. He thought a moment before adding, "Or...I suppose it could be this." He grinned, and slid his arms around Tezuka's neck, leaning up to give him a gentle kiss. He was pleased that he wasn't pushed away, and smiled lovingly up at his captain upon pulling away, "That wasn't so bad was it?"
"Very funny. You know how I feel about public affection."
"Oh come on. Just this once?" The smile turned to a coy pout, completed by puppy eyes, "I just got my memory back, let me have a little fun to make up for this morning. Please?"
"No. You've caused enough chaos for one day." Tezuka tried to kep his stoic glare...he really did. Fuji wasn't in the mood to be obiediant though, and merely smiled innocently-by his standards anyways- and leaned back up toward's his captain's lips, "Then at least give me one more...tiny...itsy bitsy kiss? You can't tell me I don't deserve having that made up...?"
When the request wasn't immediately obeyed, Fuji sighed, starting to think he'd pushed too far and slowly backed down. To his surprise, and delight, Tezuka pulled him back, giving him a gentle kiss the same way he had, before releasing the tensai.
"Now will you stop causing trouble?"
"Mmm...I suppose I can behave for a couple more hours." Fuji drawled with a satisfied smile.
"...Why only a couple?"
"I'm coming over to your house, remember?"
"...Fuck." Tezuka muttered. He'd completely forgotten about that in all the chaos the amnesiatic tensai had caused.
"Correct!" Fuji giggled, unable to resist the temptation, and quickly ran as his captain shot him a death glare. Tezuka quickly followed him, chasing him all the way back to the hospital before he caught him. He'd seriously considered strangling the still smiling boy, but quickly thought better of it when he settled with the knowledge that Fuji was coming over, and there were numerous ways to reap vengeance later.
In the time his brother had been gone, Yuuta had managed to move towards Kikumaru's room and knocked impatiently. Oishi opened the door and just about fainted upon seeing the younger Fuji's ankle bandaged.
"Yuuta-san? What happened?!"
"Your idiot pushed me down a flight of stairs." He growled, while Kikumaru, in the background, giggled nervously and tried to hide under his covers. The vice captain just began panicking worse, "You shouldn't be walking on that! Go wait in the bathroom, I'll find something to ice it down with!" And with that ran out of the room.
Yuuta sighed and moved to do as told. He glared at the Seigaku acrobat as he passed and slammed the bathroom door shut, sitting on the toilet seat moodily. Mizuki was going to have a horrible fit when he found out, if Akazawa didn't strangle him first...though he doubted either would get far if his assumptions of his brother following him back were correct. He could just imagine what his older brother would do to them, and probably some of the Hyoutei players...
His thoughts were interupted by the door closing and he stood carefully, opening the door a bit, but what he saw caused him to stop dead in his tracks. Oshitari was standing next to Kikumaru, reassuring him quietly that what had happened had merely been an accident. While the lie did bother Yuuta exceptionally, what happened next bothered him more.
"Kikumaru?"
"Hoi?" Bright blue eyes blinked up at the Hyoutei tensai, "Whaaaaaaat? I said I accept your apology! It's not like it killed me!"
"That aside...I want you to see something." Oshitari pulled an emerald crytal shaped as a diamond out of his jersey pocket.
"Nyao! That's pretty! Lemme see!" Kikumaru grabbed for the object, pouting when it was pulled out of his reach.
"Just watch it for now. I'll let you see it later." Excitedly, the acrobat nodded and kept his wide, cat-like eyes glued on the object. Yuuta tilted his head in confusion. What was so amazing about a crystal? It was then he noticed the blue eyes starting to haze over and the eye lids droop a bit. When Oshitari next spoke, his voice held an eerie echo, that seemed laced in an unseen venom, as the crystal began emitting a soft glow.
"I want you to forget everything that happened today. Your leg was broken from excessive acrobatics. You landed the wrong way after one of your smashes...do you understand me?"
"Aa..." Kikumaru's voice was different as well, it sounded like it was asleep.
"Very good... You be a good kitten now." Oshitari reached over, petting the wind-swept hair lightly, "We'll speak again very soon...now sleep. When you wake up...it shall be naught be a subconscious dream."
Without that, the blue eyes blanked completely as they fell shut, and the body slumped back into the bed, as the guest left. Yuuta slowly sank to the floor, unsure of what to make of the scene and backed up until he felt his back hit the shower. He had to find his brother. Now.
