Sorry for the long wait... too many holiday parties. Happy New Year everyone! Yay 2010!


Chapter 5

Fuji was beaming while walking towards the boy's locker room, setting his plan into action. The tensai reached for the knob when the door suddenly opened. Echizen was busy running away from Momo's bear hugs that he didn't paid any attention to who was standing in the doorway. With great force, the freshman slammed his face on his sempai's hard chest and fell to the floor.

Echizen picked up his hat from the floor and put it on his head. The freshman was rubbing his cheek when he looked up to see that it was the tensai he had run into, immediately both of his cheeks began to flush.

"Gomen, Fuji." Echizen said shyly, getting up on his feet. He lowered his hat so Fuji couldn't see his blushing cheeks. He bowed and rushed passed the tensai.

"Oi! Echizen, come and give your sempai a kiss to make it feel better!" Momoshiro said laughing out loud, rubbing Fuji's chest.

Fuji continued to smile and walked in as if nothing happened. His eyes were still smiling, but at the same time focused on his target.

Eiji was putting on his shirt when the tensai touched his back sensually. The red-haired boy immediately jumped at his touch.

"Oi Fujikun! What was that for?"

"Gomen. I didn't think you would be so surprised."

The red haired boy flashed a huge smile. "Nya! That's ok."

"Eiji, I need something from you." Fuji slightly opened his eyes, revealing the oceanic pigment. His voice was softer than usual. Eiji was getting nervous, he knew when the tensai's eyes were open, trouble was coming.

"Ummm...what do you want?" Eiji asked cautious, not wanting to reveal too much.

"I want to." The tensai said smiling very widely, he whispered to rest in the red-haired boy's ear.

"Why?" Eiji said, surprised that the tensai wanted to burrow his calligraphy book.

"It looks interesting." Fuji said, still smiling widely.

Eiji was annoyed. "Okay, but return it to me by tomorrow because someone else wants to burrow it... again." Eiji let out a sign. "If everyone keeps burrowing my book, I'll never be able to finish!"

"Who burrowed it before?" Fuji asked curiously, already suspecting a person.

Eiji whispered in his ear. "He said not to tell anyone, but you are my best friend, I can tell you anything!" Eiji said, wrapping one of his arms around the tensai's neck.

"And you can tell me anything!" Eiji continued, hoping that Fuji would tell him what he was planning to do with his book.

The acrobatic boy gave the tensai his book and Fuji bowed. "Arigato Eiji. I will return it tomorrow." Fuji looked at the clock. "I think we're going to be late."

"Nya! I don't want to run laps." Eiji rushed out the door.

After hearing the door closed, Fuji scanned around the locker room making sure no one, but himself, was there. He took out a piece of white ordinary paper and opened the calligraphy book. Fuji wrote "I know it was you" in elegant script, just like it was shown in the book. The tensai was grateful that his was a fast learner because he didn't have the luxury of time to make it pretty. He chuckled to himself when he put the letter on top of a pile of clothing and shut the locker door silently. Then he went to his own locker to put Eiji's book away.



"Fuji, you're late. 20 laps," Tezuka said in his usual monotone voice.

He's never late, what is he up to now? The captain thought to himself.

"Hai!" Fuji began running around the courts.

The regulars were practicing their drop shoots. The rules for the drill were simple, make five drop-shoots in a row, then return five drop shoots from your opponent.

"Oi! Viper, watch it! I'm already in a bad mood."

"I don't care what mood you are in, hit the damn ball over the net!"

"Well if someone didn't scratched my bike this morning, I won't be in this mood," Momoshiro said irritably. He was pissed to see a huge ugly scratch on his bike this morning and the worst part was he didn't know who did it. He wanted to teach that person some manners with his fists.

"Fssshhhhhhhh," Kaidoh hissed.

"Oi Ochibi, how mean! Why are you slicing your drop shoots?" Kikumaru said running from one side of the court to the other side.

"Mada mada dane," was the freshman's simply reply.

"Burning! Greato! Come on!"

It took ten minutes for the tensai to complete his laps. Smiling widely, Fuji jogged over to where the stoic captain was observing.

"Buchou, I'm ready. Are you?" Fuji slyly said.

"Aa," Tezuka nodded.

Tezuka was serving and after four aces the stoic captain won the game. The score was now tied, six games all. Fuji served the first point of the tie breaker. The tensai didn't used his underhand serve, he wanted to tease the captain a bit. Tezuka returned the tensai's serve with twice the power, demanding authority. Fuji smiled at this and position himself to return Tezuka's serve. This time, Fuji was able to return it by using his two handed backhand. The captain returned it with a cord ball. Fuji reading the direction of the ball before it hit the net, rushed towards to net to return Tezuka's cord ball with another cord ball.

Finally. Fuji, you are serious from the start. But I will not lose.

After many incredible points, Tezuka took the lead and won the tie breaker 12 points to 10.

"Saa...that was close. Maybe next time." Fuji said with smiling eyes.

"Aa," was the captain's simply reply.

Ryuzaki-sensei called everybody in, afternoon practice was over.

Now for phase one of the plan, Fuji smiled.

"Kaidoh are you okay!"

Everyone was crowding next to the collapsed bandana boy. Blue liquid was oozing from his mouth.

"Someone must have filled his drinking bottle with Aozu." Inui said, carefully analyzing Kaidoh's drinking bottle.

"I'll take him to the infirmary," said the tensai with a deviant smile on.


This chapter was waayyy too long so I cut it in half. It's hard to write comedy...Argh! I'm struggling (pulls hair)!
