Chapter 2: The Tennis Club and Their Insanity
"Chibi."
"What, Pigtail?"
"HEY! Show some respects to your elders!"
"I will when my elders show them to me, Pigtail."
Niou Masaharu groaned in frustration. At first, he thought it would be more fun and interesting to have the Chibi as his roommate. Not like Tezuka. At first. But now, Niou would probably choose over Tezuka than the cocky Chibi. Definitely.
Annoying kouhai-but-not-a-kouhai and roommate: checked.
Ryoma smirked when he saw Niou was annoyed by his arrogant behavior. "So. What?"
Niou looked at Ryoma confusedly. "What of what?"
Ryoma rolled his eyes. "Yeah, why did you call me?"
Niou blinked. "Oh."
"... Mada mada da ne."
"HEY! YOU ARROGANT, COCKY BRATLING CHIBI! PURI!"
Yukimura was feeling very, very happy. First, he got another cute 'little brother'. Second, probably now that he would have a new challenging opponent in tennis. Third, he would definitely get another strong player for his team.
Yukimura grinned in satisfaction.
A perfect tennis team in hand: checked.
Yukimura whistled happily, looking at his watch. 18.57. He decided to go to pick up his new little brother now.
But furthermore, he was interested at how Niou and Ryoma were getting along each other. He chuckled at the thought.
Finally he had reached the A-1 dorm building. He walked in and went directly to the room number 5. He pressed one of his ears to the door.
His two friends were yelling at each other. Slowly he opened the door, putting only his head into the room.
Ryoma was grumbling while Niou was laughing mockingly.
"I will take that thing off from your bed if you stop calling me 'Pigtail', Chibi!"
"And I won't stop calling you 'Pigtail' either if you keep calling me Chibi."
Yukimura decided it was his turn, "Now, now, there, what is going on in here?"
Niou stopped laughing suddenly and he screeched, glaring at Ryoma, soundlessly trying to say, "Don't tell him!".
But he is Echizen Ryoma, after all.
"Yukimura-senpai." Ryoma mumbled.
"What is it, Echizen-kun? Did Niou bully you again?" asked Yukimura softly, smiling to Ryoma.
Ryoma pointed his finger to his bed, "Niou-senpai put that on my bed."
Yukimura was getting curious as he approached Ryoma's bed, "What is it?"
Niou's mouth dropped open in fear. He eyed Yukimura and then Ryoma. He gave Ryoma an 'I will kill you' glare, but all Ryoma did in response was smirking. He shrugged.
"Haru?" Yukimura's voice was so soft that it made a cold running through Ryoma's spine. "Haru, what is this? Didn't I tell you to not to play with this again?"
"I…" Niou was screeched.
Yukimura took the 'thing' from Ryoma's bed, looking at Niou. Niou slumped to the floor.
On Yukimura's hand was a red-painted 'women' sanitary napkin.
"Haru. 100 laps around the main building."
Niou nodded, his face was very pale. Yukimura turned back to Ryoma, smiling, "Now, Echizen-kun, let's go to the tennis club. The others are waiting for us. Haru, get up from there."
Ryoma blinked blankly as he followed Yukimura out from the room, Niou was still completely shocked. He stumbled along his way.
A sadist of a certain tennis club captain: checked.
Ryoma had to admit that Narashino provided the best facilities to their tennis club. The tennis club held two of indoor courts buildings with two gyms, three ball machines at the each indoor courts buildings, and almost twenty five of outdoor courts. Yukimura brought him (Niou walked as far as possible from Yukimura) to the building with a large 'A' plastered on the wall.
"The A building is for the semi-regulars and regulars members," said Yukimura, "we do have much of great and strong players here. Once a month, a ranking match that decides the regulars' position will be held. Considering you as a second year, you will be participating the ranking match. And just for your information, the tennis club has the biggest number of member, we have more than 200 of members."
Ryoma nodded and they walked in. The building had fifteen courts on it. Three of them were courts with a ball machine. Yukimura took him to the court number 1 on the very point of the building.
Ryoma blinked when he spotted some… indecent behaviors there.
Like those two red-head boys did. They were jumping awkwardly each other.
"I'm higher!" one of them shouted.
"NO, I'M HIGHER!" the other one yelled back.
"I bet you can't do this!" the first one screamed, doing a kick-boxing very fast around the court.
"I can, you stupid cat boy!" the second one followed, faster than the other one.
On the other side, a boy with a black and seaweed hair pouted to his, apparently, senpai.
"No, it's not like that, Marui-senpai! Marui-senpai, just because your name means round, it doesn't mean that you have to make yourself fat with eating doses of sweets and sugars!"
"I – WHAT?! Hey, stupid kid, we're not talking about ball now! It's your digital camera, digital camera, idiot! See? You press here to turn on the camera and this if you want to take a picture!"
"I see no different, the buttons all are the same! And what is this button for, Senpai?"
The other boy, who had a pink hair and was chewing a gum, slapped a hand on his forehead, "Why are you even a human, Akaya?!"
The boy called Akaya tilted his head, "And why are you not round like your name, Marui-senpai?"
Marui screamed, tufted his hair, "AAHH! SOMEONE TAKE THIS STUPID KID AWAY FROM ME!"
While on the other side of the courts, a guy with a green bandanna on his head was… well, hissing. His friend, a handsome guy with a silver-purplish hair, and a mole under his right eye, was talking, his voice was arrogant.
"Ore-sama didn't understand why he should participate in the ranking match. I mean, Ore-sama is a high-level player and no one beats Ore-sama. Well, maybe Yukimura had, but other than that, even Tezuka didn't win against Ore-sama."
"Fuusshhhuu."
Ryoma blinked again. Ore-sama? Fuushhuuu? What is this with those 'Ore-sama' and 'fuushhuuu'?
"YOOSSHH-AAA! GREATOOO! BURNING! COME ON BABY, I'LL TAKE YOUR VICTORY!"
Ryoma turned around. A brunette boy was twisting around his racket, a fire surrounding him, while him shouting those 'burning' and 'greato'. The other brunette with a feminine appearance fed him balls - his eyes were closed, and his smile was creepy. With each hits, the burning guy would shout those 'burning' and 'greato' and 'baby' repeatedly.
Yukimura smiled brightly as he asked Ryoma, "So, Echizen-kun, how do you think our tennis club is?"
Ryoma sighed and pulled his cap lower while behind them, Niou slapped his hand onto his forehead and cheeks, "Oh My Goodness... puri."
Insane tennis teammates: checked.
//Chapter 2: The Tennis Club and Their Insanity – fin//
So, there's the second chapter! Yeah, I know this chapter was less good than the first one, but I try my best to describe the characters. I have to type all of those weird behaviors to give Ryoma the view of his soon new teammates. Also, the digital camera idea came from Apple Snapple's 'Kirihara's Digital Camera', so credits go to Apple Snapple. Again, I accept pairing suggestions, but remember, an unusual and a friendship pairing. The others roommates and classes will be revealed on the next upcoming chapters, step by step. I will surely update the We Are Here for One Another this week.
And wouldn't it be nice if I receive what you think, or in other words, review?
