Yay, I've finally updated 'Tennis in a Different Point of View'! –big grin-
Well, if you read that, then you can read this!

Inui paused. He flipped through his notebook. Then he stated bluntly, "I forgot."
Everyone fell over.
Eiji got up first, rubbing his head. "Nya...Inui! Why'd you forget?"
"Gomen, I forgot to write it in my notes. And I forgot. Temporarily, that is."
Ryoma just frowned and looked away. "Che. Mada mada dane, senpai."

"Wow..." enthused Maya. She stared at the Regulars, doing their warm up. They were jogging at a steady pace around the perimeter of the tennis courts.
"YOU OAF! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU IF YOU LOSE A MATCH!" Yuuka screamed at Momoshiro, who gulped and ran faster at the sound of her voice.
Maya stared at Yuuka in surprise. "I'm surprised that you're not related to that Tomoka girl over there." She pointed to the crazy girl, who was cheering loudly for her 'Ryoma-sama'.
Yuuka huffed and placed her hands on her hips. "Excuuuse me! I wouldn't be surprised if you acted shy and sweet like that...uhm...Ryuzaki Sakuno! Was that her name?"
Maya nodded. "But I think being shy and sweet is better than being loud-mouthed and hyper."
Yuuka pointed out, "But you do know that Kawamura-senpai has both personalities, right? He's crazy! Whenever he's given a tennis racket, he explodes!"
"Yuuka, although you are my best friend, I won't let you insult Takashi-kun! He's been my best friend ever since we were kids! And I don't mind if he has problems controlling his personality! In any case, you and Momoshiro-kun fight like an old married couple!"
It was Yuuka's turn to blush heavily. "N-n-no, we don't!"
"Oh yes, you do!"
Then, Ryuzaki-sensei snapped at them, "Hey, girls! Stop bickering! You're bothering my team!"
"Y-yes, Ma'am!" The two friends quickly saluted and continued watching silently.

"BURNING! I'M ON FIRE!" Kawamura roared, smashing the ball onto the other side of the court.
Eiji panted heavily, collapsing as he tripped over a small pebble on the court. "N-no... more... Taka-san...nya..."
Kawamura dropped the racket and started freaking out at the look of his friend. "E-Eiji! O-oi! Are you alright?" He jumped over the net and helped Eiji stand up.
"N-nya... Taka-san's power...too much, nya..." Eiji gasped in between breaths.
"Eiji!" Oishi rushed over, checking over his doubles partner worriedly. "Are you hurt? Do you need anything?"
"Nya...water sounds nice, nya..."
Inui disrupted them unpleasantly. "No, Kikumaru; you can't. You lost to Kawamura, so you need to drink this." He held up a transparent glass with black, bubbling liquid inside. "This is the new Inui Juice Remix, upgraded." He grinned evilly.
Eiji's eyes were almost falling out of their sockets as he witnessed a bubble from the drink pop menacingly. "No! Inui, nya! I'll...do your homework for a week! A week!"
Inui frowned. "No. You'll bring my marks down."
"Nya..." Eiji took the glass hesitantly and yelped as a bubble popped in his face. "Is...Is this safe to drink...?"
"Just try it out."
"YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT OUT YOURSELF YET?! SUICIDE! SUICIDE!" Eiji shrieked, nearly dropping the glass.
And Tezuka, with his sharp eyes and ears, heard the commotion, and barked, "Kikumaru! Hurry up and get it over with!"
Eiji gulped, knowing full well that he couldn't disobey the Buchou's orders. He put the glass to his lips and gulped it down hurriedly, with sweat trickling down his face.
Everyone watched as Eiji's face first turned pale, and then it changed to red. It was a blur of colors before it finally settled on green, which sent Eiji screaming and running off to the water fountain.
As everyone stared after their teammate, Inui was jotting his ridiculous notes in his notebook. He was cackling evilly as well, his glasses gleaming gleefully.
Tezuka sighed and looked at his watch before calling out, "Practice is over for today! Dismissed!"
Kawamura looked in the direction of the water fountain, searching for the red-headed acrobatic. All he could hear was water rushing awfully fast, and some muffled thumping noises. He instantly felt guilty, but in a way, he was somewhat glad that he didn't have to drink the juice himself.
He grabbed his bag and headed out, waving to his childhood friend and heading over.

Maya stood quietly, waiting for Kawamura. She heaved a sigh and looked at her feet. Yuuka had run off, yelling at Momoshiro, who had been yelling back at her.
"Thinking about something?"
Maya snapped her head up, her eyes meeting Kawamura's. She smiled. "No, it's nothing important. Let's go!" She grabbed his hand and started walking in the direction of the restaurant.
Kawamura, surprised at her sudden action, flushed lightly and allowed her to drag him home.
Maya, suddenly realizing what she'd done, turned a pretty pink color. (1)
The two beings walked on, not realizing that six people were currently following them: Fuji, Eiji, Inui, Momoshiro, Yuuka and Echizen.
Echizen stared at the scene, bored. "Why are we doing this? And why'd you have to drag me with you?"
Yuuka pouted and put an arm over his head. "Because it's fun, which you don't know how to have, Ochibi." She declared, using the nickname that Eiji had given the dense first year.
Momoshiro nodded in agreement. "Echizen, I have to agree with Yuuka-chan on this."
Fuji's usual smile widened by a fraction. "So Momoshiro...you've switched to first names, now? I remember just last week, you were calling her Tsunoki-chan."
"N-no I wasn't!"
Yuuka fidgeted nervously, and turned back to the couple they were supposed to be spying on. "Come on! They're getting away!" she hissed.

"Ah!" Maya stretched her arms. "This place feels so nostalgic! Doesn't it?"
Kawamura lifted his right shoulder in a half-shrug. "Somewhat, but I'm here all the time, so..." he trailed off.
"Well, I haven't been here for a while." Maya stated, taking everything in with her brown, sparkling eyes.
"Maya-chan! Long time no see, eh?" Kawamura's father clonked down the stairs, grinning widely.
"Jii-san!" she greeted, smiling.
"How's your piano going? I was quite surprised when your dad phoned me last night."
Maya hesitated slightly. "It's going fine."
Kawamura looked at Maya, confused. He knew her well enough that hesitation wasn't a good thing, coming from her.
His father seemed to be confused as well. But he didn't question her, knowing that she wouldn't spill anything even if he tried to persuade her. "So," he cleared his throat, "how's the tennis team, Takashi?"
Kawamura smiled sheepishly. "It's good...although I'm not sure how much longer we can live with Inui and his creepy drinks."
Maya frowned. "Aw, come on, Takashi-kun! Suck it up and stop it with the negative thoughts!" Then she spotted his tennis bag and walked towards it. She unzipped the bag and began rummaging through it.
Kawamura and his father peered over her shoulder in curiosity. They blinked when Maya pulled out Kawamura's tennis racket.
"Come on; think positive!" And with that, Maya shoved the racket into Kawamura's hands.
It wasn't before long that the restaurant had to be closed because of some...technical difficulties.

(1): I usually don't use the word 'pretty' or 'pink', but there was no other word to describe the situation...was there?
Yay! Second chapter!
I think I'm going to be more practical with this story than my other PoT one. Details are going to be put in properly and not randomly this time!
REVIEW please? I'll give out muffins!
