Murderous Intentions

6

--------------------

"Excuse me for a second," said an extremely irritated Echizen, mentally thinking of the thousands of ways he could kill his senpais. A pity there weren't any chainsaws, land-crawling piranhas or 500 tonnes of steel available. He got up and started moving towards the unsuspecting senpais, leaving a bewildered Sakuno in his wake.

Meanwhile, the senpais were arguing about what they should do to 'assist' Echizen's date.

"Why don't we play them an orchestral serenade at their table?" suggested Kawamura.

"Great! Who knows how to play a string instrument?" asked Kikumaru.

(silence)

"Well, there's a first time for anything," said Momoshiro.

"Are you kidding me?!" exclaimed Kaidoh. "You can't even play a triangle!"

"That triangle was broken okay?!"

"Yeah, like your brain!"

"Nani?! Did you say something Mamushi?!"

"Both of you, focus!"

The rivals shut up, though they both maintained their if-only-I-had-an-axe glare.

"Say…where did Echizen go?"

The team members quickly looked around but Echizen was nowhere to be found.

"Maybe he abandoned Sakuno."

"No, he wouldn't do that."

"But this is Echizen we're talking about."

"True true."

Hidden from view, an eavesdropping Echizen Ryoma narrowed his eyes. Those traitorous senpais. Just who do they think they are?! This was followed by five pages worth of untypable obscenity.

Unaware of their possible impending death, the senpais continued to insult their favourite ochibi.

"Echizen's such a hopeless case when it comes to anything social."

"I bet Sakuno only went on a date with him because she felt sorry for him."

"I bet he couldn't even get a broom to willingly go on a date with him."

"No, I think kitchen utensils are more to his taste."

"Echizen Ryoma, wannabe kitchen utensil dater.

The Seigaku team members all cracked up. Except for one member.

"Gee, I wonder what Echizen would say if he heard your comments," said Echizen innocently.

"Oh, he'd probably tie us to the back of six bullet trains and send them off in different directions."

"He'd probably shove us all into a barrel and roll us down a cliff."

"He'd probably ram his tennis balls down our eye sockets."

"He'd probably lock us up in a room full of guinea pigs!"

"Eh? How's that scary Kawamura-senpai?"

"I hate guinea pigs."

"Nyah! What if he stuffs our mouths with wasabi sushi?!"

"Gah! That would be torture!"

"Mm…wasabi sushi…mm…torture…"

"Don't you dare Fuji!"

"Well, thank goodness Echizen isn't here. Right, Echizen?"

This was followed by a minute of tense silence as the horrified senpais saw their lives flash before their eyes.

"ARGH!!!"
