Chapter 2

Friendly Revelations

The next day before tennis practice, two teammates where seen whispering to the side of the court and throwing smirks at the youngest member of the regulars.

Ryoma shot them evil glares as a group of his fan girls approached. Inui grinned sadistically and approached them. Ryoma, intent on ignoring the fan girls started to head in the opposite direction.

"You know, there is a 99.6 percent chance that if you were Himalayan that Ryoma would tolerate your presence." Inui said fixing his glasses.

This comment causes Ryoma to turn a strange shade of pink which of course could not be a blush, for Ryoma obviously does not blush.

Momo, seeing said pink coloring, shouted at the top of his lungs "You should all cosplay cats! And then he would defiantly date you!"

Ryoma shoots yet another glare at his senpias and stomps off angrily, for he's surely not embarrassed, towards the locker rooms to change for practice.

Later that day Ryoma was having a practice match with Fuji when a few of his balls went decidedly astray hitting his unsuspecting teammates in various places. When one of his serves knocks Inui into his 'vitamin supplement' juice, Fuji gave Ryoma a look that said 'your doing that on purpose, I can tell.'

"Sorry, its an off day." Ryoma said unemotionally.

"Ochibi can have off days!?" Eiji said dramatically looking at Ryoma. The team seemed unaware of the fact that Inui was now unconscious and drowning in his own juice. Tezuka obviously seemed to think it was payback of some sort and they deserved it, so he left the situation alone.

After practice Ryoma went to change, and a very curious Fuji approached the conspiring victims of Ryoma's 'off day'. "So you two, what did you do to Ryoma? Threaten to Neuter his cat or something?"

Inui and Momo looked at Fuji semi-incredulously "How did you...never mind."

"Oh now, this seems interesting, really what did you two do?" Fuji asked with a smile.

Inui and Momo looked at each other debating without words on how bad Ryoma would hurt them if they divulged his secret. After a heated mental debate and a bit more prodding, they caved and spilled the whole story to Fuji.

"Hmm, a diary you say….now that sounds interesting. I might just have to pay our dear Ochibi a visit." He said grinning sadistically, his blue eyes sparkling.

After arriving at Ryoma's and being waved in by some old pervert, he went up the stairs and to Ryoma's domain. Upon entering, he discovered that Ochibi wasn't home, much to his initial disappointment. Then he had an idea. A wonderful awful idea. Searching under the papers on the desk, he found the described purple 'journal'. Tearing out a blank page, he began to write. Then with a malicious grin, he grabs up the Di…er 'journal' and calmly walks out of the house.


Later that night Ryoma returned from a game of one on wall, (Sad to say, the wall won.), to find Karupin on his desk pawing through his papers.

"Karupin…" 'What are you doing in here anyway, I thought I closed the door?' he thought to him self looking at the mess his kitty had made. Not that he really minded. It was just unusual for Karupin to make a mess. He was such a neat kitty. That was when he noticed Karupin was paying particular attention to one piece of paper.

He picked up the paper from under Karupin and began reading:

Dear Ochibi,

I have taken your Di…er your journal ransom. In order for it to be returned you must tell me your deepest darkest secret. Oh wait. I already have your Di...journal. Well, I'll be in touch. Until then, just be grateful I didn't take the cat.

Yours truly,

Kidnapper

After re-reading the ransom note for the thirtieth time, he frowned and picked up Karupin protectively.
