Disclaimer: Still don't own Prince Of Tennis…


Chapter 2. Hmmm, bathroom. That's good.

It probably would of taken half an hour for most people to figure out who the missing person was, in which time they would go around the seven rooms, write down every single name, then do a role call to find out who wasn't called.

Luckily for us, these people aren't most people.

They're tennis players.

O.k., so some people (Not naming anyone in particular -coughanyonewhoisntatensaiorinuiandrenjicough-) go into the most people category. But lucky for us, we still have smart people around!

But the stupid so called tensais didn't want to help, they just let Renji and Inui figure it out.

And they did!

O.k., so it only took them the amount of time to walk into where Atobe, Jirou and Mizuki were to figure it out. It was pretty obvious. I mean, he's sitting right there! So Inui and Renji turned around to smile at all the other tennis players who had somehow stayed behind them, causing them to flinch at the stares.

"There is a 95% chance that we are stuck in this house," started Renji.

"The other 5% is that we are simply dreaming," added Inui.

"Nya, the same dream!?" screeched Eiji, glomping Oishi.

"Not exactly, Kikumaru," said Renji. "Obviously, we can't all be experiencing the same dream. But how are we to tell that we are the ones who are dreaming?"

"But Yanagi, how does that work?" asked Jackal, because he hadn't said anything yet. Well, not anything important.

"Simple," replied Inui. Because obviously, Kirihara was right. They really are interchangeable. "If you were dreaming, you could imagine that everyone else thought they were dreaming as well, and no matter how much they try to convince you that they're real, how are you supposed to know you're not dreaming?"

"Ow… My head hurts…" said Gakuto, Oshitari patting him on the shoulder.

"But as Sadaharu mentioned before, there's only a 5% chance of that happening."

"That's too high for my liking," muttered Captain Jimmy.

"Personally, I'd rather be dreaming then actually be stuck in here," muttered Momo, his stomach rumbling. There was a consecutive agreement.

"What we suggest is to journey not only to the other end of the hallway, but also to our consecutive rooms," suggested Inui, causing both Captain Jimmy and Atobe to growl at the way the data players were trying to take over.

"Good suggestion, Inui," said Tezuka, appearing next to them, immediately shutting up the two annoying captains. Which made them even more annoyed because they realised they had shut up without even being told to. "Let's separate into room groups and search our rooms for any clues. Then, in half an hour, we'll meet back here and the captains will converse in the captain's corner."

"What about the 41st person?" asked Fuji, smiling widely. Everyone gulped, because obviously, they didn't want to know why Fuji wanted to know.

Inui pulled out his data book. Where he got that from, who knows? "Renji and I have come to the conclusion that the 41st person is…" he paused for dramatic effect, eyeing them all from behind his glasses.

"Hurry up with it, man!" yelled someone in the crowd, though the person wishes to remain nameless.. But they were obviously not from Seigaku, because everyone from Seigaku appreciates Inui's need to be dramatic.

Well, if they don't, they at least appreciate Inui's ability to make creepy drinks that could knock them out of the tennis club for the season.

"Atobe Keigo," he said in a very dramatic way, causing everyone to gasp as if he had just announced that Atobe had been the culprit to a string of tennis related murders, where every body's doubles partners were killed.

Yes, they care a lot about their doubles partners.

It'd be weird if they didn't.

"Ore-sama does not like how you refer to him as 41st. Ore-sama should always be 1st."

"Atobe, you're 41st because you're the only here who doesn't have a room," announced Tezuka, causing Atobe to look up at him questioningly.

"What do you mean?" he asked, and then everyone realised that he hadn't been with them when they were investigating the rest of the house. Wait, they only just realised that? That doesn't make sense. O.k., let's make it, all the people who weren't tensais, captains, data players, or just gosh darn observant realised it.

So Inui and Renji took it in turns explaining what they'd found so far outside, including everyone's room placements, causing everyone to awed by the way they able to remember everything like that, even though they were obviously reading it out of their note books. Eventually, after many long and exhausting theories on Inui and Renji's parts, Atobe finally shuts them up, having wished he had never asked in the first place.

"Ok, ore-sama will wait here until you are all done finish exploring. Kabaji, take Jirou to his room," Atobe ordered.

"Usu," Kabaji replied (no surprise there) and picked up Jirou, exiting the room once again. And so it was everyone split up (much to the chagrin of the doubles partners) and made their way to their rooms… well, I guess they don't know what's inside them, so we can't call them rooms… how about we just say the doors with their names on them?

So all the room 1 people went to the door that lead to room 1. And just for recap purposes, room 1 includes the sweet split personality of Taka, the violent tendencies of Bane, the luck of Sengoku, the speediness of Kamio, and last but certainly not least (and we're not just saying that so he doesn't come after us) the sadistic ways of tensai Fuji.

Opening the door, everyone poked their head in the door, looking around. The room was long, very long, but wasn't very wide. It had a table with 5 chairs, a lounge, a TV, a small kitchenette, a curtain separating the room with bunk beds, a single bed, and a double bed. A door was behind the beds.

"Well, isn't this a quaint little place," Fuji said, a smile on his face. He stepped inside the room, looking around, and everyone else stood in the doorway, waiting for the scary tensai to do something rather then just stand there. At least Fuji was placed in a room with reasonable people who he wouldn't easily get angry at. I guess we have to count that as a blessing, because there probably won't be any blood baths.

Don't look at me like that, I said there probably won't be any blood baths.

"Do you think everyone else's room will be similar?" Bane asked, because much like Jackal, he hadn't said anything important yet. But he had kicked David in the head, so we have to give him credit for that.

"Probably. I'm sure Inui or Yanagi-kun would know the correct percentages." He moved towards the back door, and opened it. "Hmmm, bathroom. That's good."

"Is anyone else completely worried about this?" asked Kamio, plopping down on the bottom bunk of the bunk beds.

"I think I am…" started Taka. "But… there's a lot of us, isn't there? Even the roomings… well, except for Atobe."

"That's it!" yelled Sengoku as he sat next to Kamio, who promptly pushed him off the bed. "We're all going to be killed off one by one! I propose that we suggest that one person be near Atobe all the time!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"No one would agree with it," came the consecutive reply.

"Some might," said Fuji, looking thoughtful. "Kabaji, Jirou; though he might fall asleep on the job." He paused, opening his eyes. "I'll help."

Everyone backed away from Fuji, Sengoku landing on Kamio's lap, who abruptly pushed him off again.

Let's leave them to be deadly afraid of Fuji and move to the next room, shall we?


For the record, all the rooms do look the same, as Jackal, Yuuta, Ishida, Hiyoshi and Aoi soon found out.

"Well, this is certainly weird," commented Yuuta from the table.

"It's definitely random," added Ishida, looking over at Hiyoshi who was laying on the single bed staring at the ceiling.

"Does he even talk?" Aoi asked, jumping around the bed.

"You should probably leave him alone Kentarou-kun," said Jackal, who was also sitting at the table. We're lucky there are exactly 5 chairs, aren't we?

"But has he even said anything since we arrived?" asked Aoi, poking him in the forehead. Hiyoshi's arm came up and grabbed Aoi's, twisting it.

"Gekokujou," was all he said, as Aoi ripped his arm out of Hiyoshi's grasp.

"Ouch. I think I'll stay away from him," he said, climbing up the ladder to take the top bunk.

"Told you," said Yuuta, Ishida and Jackal at the same time.

"Gekokujou," muttered Hiyoshi again, turning away from the table.

So I know I didn't stay very long in Room Two, but their not that interesting in that room. I mean, most of them no on really listens to, and the ones they do listen to (Yuuta and sometimes Aoi)… well, one of them was scared, and one of them didn't really have much to say. So we'll go onto Room Three, and hope for the sake of the story, that they're more interesting.


"And then the other egg said 'Oh my god! An egg that talks!'" Davide finished, laughing his head off as his four room mates looked at him in amazement.

"That was…" started Shinji.

"Stupid," stated Gakuto, leaning on his hand.

"No! It's not finished. So two eggs are sitting in a fry pan, and one egg goes 'Wow, it's getting hot in here…'" he would of kept going if it weren't for Kabaji putting his hand over his mouth.

"Thanks, Kabaji," said Gakuto as he leant back in his chair. He turned to look at Renji, who sat on the couch, flipping threw a notebook. (Seriously, where did they get them?)

"Yanagi-kun, what are you doing?"

"I'm calculating what the chances are that we can escape from this house."

"Why hasn't anyone tried yet? I mean seriously, what are we going to do if we are locked in here? Sit around in these rooms until we die of hunger? Or you know, kill each other from boredom, and then eat their bodies…"

"You're weird," Gakuto said with a groan. "Kabaji, can you hold his mouth as well?"

"Usu," Kabaji said (Uh, duh…) and placed his hand over Shinji's mouth. Yanagi watched all this with curiosity.

"Interesting," Renji said, continuing to write.

"What's interesting?" Gakuto asked, turning to him.

"I thought it was only Atobe who Kabaji obeyed."

"Nah, Kabaji listens to whoever is the most ranking in the room. In his books, that would be me," Gakuto said with pride.

"Right…" said Renji, as he began to write again. Then he looked up. "Wait, wasn't Kabaji supposed to put Jirou in his room?"

"Oh, don't worry," Gakuto said, as Kabaji used all his weight to ensure that Shinji and Davide didn't escape. It wasn't really too much of trouble with Shinji, but when it came to Davide, he was a bit stronger. "Jirou won't wake up until just before something exciting is about to happen. Atobe will look after him till then."

"And why would someone like Atobe help someone like Jirou?" Renji asked, poised over his notebook. Gakuto stared him down, before turning back to Kabaji.

"Lock them in the bathroom, and then go take care of Jirou," Gakuto said, completely ignoring Renji.

"Alrighty then," said Kabaji. No, just joking. He actually said "Usu" before dragging the two who were now suffering from loss of air into the bathroom.


So let's leave them and go off to the next room, because once they get unconscious, it's no fun anymore. So we're now onto Room Four. V. Captain Jimmy is here, but is he really important.

"Hey! I heard that…" he yelled, as the other two turned to look at him.

"What are you talking about?" asked Kirihara as he looked from V. Captain Jimmy to Tezuka. For recap purposes, this room is slightly lacking right now. Jirou is still asleep, and Mizuki is still unconscious. And I'll add again that this was a completely random occurrence that they were put in the same rooms.

"I am important," V. Captain Jimmy muttered, and this time Tezuka raised an eyebrow as well, showing about as much emotion as Tezuka can.

"Um, where did that come from?"

"The commentary! You can't hear it?" he asked, and Tezuka and Kirihara looked at each other, before shaking their heads. "See?! It just said you're shaking you're heads!"

"But we are shaking our heads, Higashikata-kun," said Kirihara slowly as he slowly backed away. "Are you alright?" asked Tezuka, wishing he could take a step back, but obviously he couldn't, because that would also be very un-Tezuka-like.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" yelled Misami, and the sudden outburst caused even Tezuka to step back. Kirihara turned to Tezuka.

"Is he o.k.?" he whispered, and Tezuka shrugged, not taking his eyes off of Misami as the door burst open. Everyone turned around to see Kabaji standing there holding an unconscious Mizuki and an asleep Jirou.

"Usu," he said, gesturing to the two he was holding.

"Ah, Kabaji. Place them on the doubles and single bed separately," said Tezuka, and Kabaji placed Jirou on the double bed and Mizuki on the singles bed (for obvious reasons) and left, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey, I thought only Atobe could order Kabaji around," said Kirihara, as he turned away from watching Misami rock back and forth saying 'There are no voices in my head, there are no voices in my head.'

"Ahn," was all Tezuka replied with, as he went into the bathroom to get wet cloths to wake them up. Of course, we'll never know how Tezuka actually knew to order Kabaji around like Gakuto did. Or maybe we will. But not in this chapter, anyway.

Because this chapter is now Finite. Bye!

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"


A/N: So here it is, the long awaited second chapter of stuck. Tell me what you think, yeh? The next chapter will have the last four rooms, as well as them finding out what's at the end of the hall. Ooooo.

Mizuki: I am not in this chapter enough.

But you're mentioned enough. In fact, your probably the most mentioned person in this whole chapter! And now I'm off to continue writing Yagyuu-chan's fan fiction. Yall have fun now!
