Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of PoT, nothing belongs to me except, maybe, the plot.

Summary: Atobe and gang challenged Tezuka to play doubles, which they'll regret later.

YukimuraAme: I had this sudden inspiration when reading the manga on Hyoutei losing. Sorry for the spoiler, Atobe got his head shaved by Ryoma so I just wrote that in.

A Series of Events II

Double Trouble Sucker's Effect

"Yo, Tezuka, here's a court only for doubles." Atobe smirked.

On hearing this, Fuji's eyes flipped open, revealing his beautiful clear blue orbs. Fuji turned slightly to see Tezuka's reaction. Tezuka stood expressionless as ever, but Fuji could sense that Tezuka was very troubled even though he did not show the slightest trace of emotion. They had been very good friends for so long, Fuji could read Tezuka's thoughts pretty well. Tezuka's very troubled.

They had been out, trekking and had wanted to rest and play tennis in the meantime. However when they had finally found somewhere to play, this had happened.

"Let's go, Fuji." Tezuka turned and started walking down the stairs, away from the court.

"Nanya, we didn't know that Tezuka's a coward." Oshitari Yuushi exclaimed with mock surprise.

Tezuka turned and glared daggers at Hyoutei. Hyoutei regulars stood at the edge of the court and smirked at Tezuka and Fuji, as if challenging them to play doubles.

"Na Tezuka, take it or leave it. You wanna play in this court, you gotta play doubles, that's the rule, na Kabaji?" Atobe demanded.

"USU!" Kabaji replied.

Tezuka sighed and pushed up his glasses. "Fine, let's play doubles."

He walked pass Fuji but Fuji grabbed him by the sleeves. "Tezuka, we can always go somewhere else."

Tezuka put a reassuring hand on Fuji's shoulders. "Don't worry." Tezuka replied.

Fuji sighed and looked worriedly at Tezuka. "Fine, but be sure not to use that." Fuji whispered.

"Aa, Fuji, I know." Tezuka answered but Fuji was still worried.

Tezuka and Fuji walked over to an empty bench to get ready when a figure came over and stood over them. Teuzka looked up and was surprised (he did not show it though) to see who it was. Sanada Genichirou stood beside the two squatting figures.

"Atobe Keigo told me to come over here. Are we having a match?" Sanada questioned.

Tezuka said nothing but deep down inside, he knew that trouble was on its way.

"Yo Sanada, we're playing doubles." Upon seeing Sanada's arrival, Atobe came over to welcome him brightly. "Get ready, we're starting in five minutes."


"One set match, Tezuka-Fuji pair versus Atobe-Sanada pair, Atobe to serve." Mukahi Gakuto announced from the referee's seat.

Atobe stood on the court with his index and middle finger at his eyes. He sees everything he wants in that spilt second.

He served the ball, aiming at Tezuka's wrist. Tezuka turned his hold slightly to avoid the ball and returned with a Zero Shiki drop shot. Sanada caught the ball before it reaches the floor and returned with a loop. The ball flew to the back of the court. Fuji jumped up and aimed at the ball, letting the ball fly passed him and did a shifting in the air, catching the ball this time and sending it back. Atobe caught the ball and send it back at Fuji's direction, aiming at his wrist this time. Fuji moved his racket quickly and was just barely able to avoid Atobe's Rondo to Destruction.

Unfortunately, Fuji was unable to return the ball as the force was too great. Fuji fell on his bottom but smiled at Tezuka. Tezuka reached out a hand to pull Fuji up.

"15 love. Atobe-Sanada." Mukahi announced, leering at Fuji.

"Tezuka, don't mind about it. Just play as per normal." Fuji reassured Tezuka.

"If only that can be used, you won't have to give it all." Tezuka apologized.

"Don't worry, Tezuka. We can always go somewhere else." Fuji smiled and consoled the captain.

Atobe smirked and served again. This time, knowing that Fuji wasn't able to return his heavy serve, he aimed at Fuji's wrist again. Fuji held his racket firmly and avoided the ball again. The ball rolled on his racket for a full ten seconds before bouncing off back at Atobe's direction. The impact of the ball leaving Fuji's racket was so great that it knocked Fuji off once more. Fuji staggered, a little shocked.

Atobe jumped up and gave the ball a smash, sending it back at Fuji at a high speed. Tezuka saw it coming and had no choice. He was not going to make it by running towards Fuji, therefore it left him with no choice, but to use that.

"Wooaahhhhh…." Yellow light illuminated from around Tezuka, extending all over the whole tennis court. Cold winds gusted all around and visibility was near to zero on the courts. Dust swirled and flew everywhere. Everyone had to protect their eyes by covering them.

"No, Tezuka, don't!" Fuji yelled as he felt himself becoming lighter and lighter and fluttered towards Tezuka like a piece of paper.

However, it was too late. There were shrill and alarming screams and exclamations all around the courts. The ball changed its direction and flew towards Tezuka instead, Tezuka returned the ball with ease.

When the dust subsided and the atmosphere cleared off, everyone gasped. Atobe's wig was on Tezuka's face, leaving Atobe standing there, shocked and bald. Fuji was stuck back to back against Tezuka and Sanada's cap was in between them.

"Now, who else wants to play doubles!" Tezuka took Atobe's wig away from his face and demanded.

The End

YukimuraAme: I am really bad at writing matches but I hope this chapt is ok. It's short I know and I had this idea before the Nationals so for those who'd seen Tezuka-Inui match, I'm so sorry, this looks a bit stupid as Tezuka does play doubles. Thanks for reading!
