Gender Bender

Chapter 9
Mid Madness

"What the heck was that?" Kikumaru Eiji heaved a huge sigh, as he packed away his belongings in his school bag, "Did we even learn half the stuff on the mid terms?"

"Yea!" Oishi confirmed joining the pair in the classroom, "That was one hard exam!"

"That was way too hard! I can't believe head teacher would write something so difficult!" One of the girls in the class whined aloud.

"But head teacher couldn't have written it! He's been away for two weeks now on sick leave." Another girl in the class informed.

"Poor Yagyuu-sensei, he's always sick." Another student sighed.

"Ryuzaki-sensei!" One of the students whined, "Why was the mid term so hard?"

"I don't know!" The old woman yelled, "I didn't write it! Besides, you should have all been studying!"

"Regardless, what a hard test." Kikumaru piped up.

Fuji exchanged nervous glances with Tezuka from across the classroom… The super hard mid terms couldn't have been their faults… Right?


Fuji Syusuke let out a massive yawn as he woke up the next morning. He groggily unzipped his sleeping bag and sat up in his pretty cramped tent. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and murmured croakily to his stuffed bear, "Morning Yuu-chan."

"Morning."

Fuji let out a shriek. Who the hell broke into this tent? His brief spark of surprise-anger was immediately extinguished as he spotted on Fuji Yuuta sitting cross-legged in front of him.

"Yuuta! Have you finally forgiven me? I swear I'm not interested in Ann. She honestly freaks me out, which is why I'm bunking in this tent." Fuji rapidly explained.

"I have something to tell you." Yuuta stated.

"What's that Yuuta?" Fuji questioned, the smile on his face growing by the seconds.

"The results for mid terms are posted on the notice board. I failed." Yuuta informed.

"Y-You…" Fuji stuttered his smile gone, "That means… you have to leave Shukuen Gakuen unless you somehow bring your grades up…"

"Yea." Yuuta shrugged.

"Well what are we waiting for? You have to take the retest next week! I'll tutor you and we'll stay up all night studying and-"

"That's enough Syusuke." Yuuta shook his head, "There's no point to staying here. I can't believe the girl of my dreams turned out to be lesbian…"

"Yuuta!" Fuji protested, "You've got to study to stay in this school and be with me! Ann doesn't matter! Our bond together matters more than anything!"

"I'll just transfer to the same school as Saeki." Yuuta muttered.

"No!" Fuji yelled, "We have to study hard!"

"Isn't this what you wanted? Didn't you plan on going to the same school as Saeki and me?" Yuuta questioned, his voice quite dull.

"But…" Fuji frowned. At the beginning it was what he wanted. Even now the thought of it sounded very appealing. However, since coming to Shukuen he's met a lot of new friends he wasn't keen on saying good-bye to just yet.

"Yea… Whatever." Yuuta sighed as he unzipped the entrance to the tent and crawled out.

Fuji sighed. This called for drastic measures...

"Kajimotousan!" Fuji whined as he used a bobby pin to break into his appointed father's room and started to poke him awake.

"W-What the hell are you doing here?" Kajimoto groaned as he rolled over onto his other side, bringing the covers up above his head.

"I need your help!" Fuji begged.

"What do you need?" The older boy sighed, his voice slightly muffled.

"You're going to write the retest for the mid terms right?" Fuji questioned.

"… Probably." Kajimoto yawned as he sat up.

"Do you think you can make it easier this time around?" Fuji asked.

"No." He stated.

"But… But Yuuta failed, and he really needs this retest to stay in Shukuen! Besides, the mid terms were really hard!" Fuji explained.

"Fine, they were a little hard I admit. The least I can do is make the retest more realistic and reasonable to your level of education. However, Yuuta-kun still needs to study. Shukuen Gakuen has a reputation to uphold as one of Japan's top elite schools." Kajimoto informed.

"Thank you! I love you!" Fuji hugged the older by around the waist.

"Yea… Whatever." Kajimoto muttered, patting the younger boy dressed up as girl on the head.

"I'm gonna let you get back to sleep! Because my Kajimo-tousan deserves it!" Fuji grinned cheekily before practically skipping out the room.

However, his problems weren't over yet. It seems that since birth, he was gifted with a genius mind though lacked the physical strength a boy would usually possess, similarly Yuuta was blessed with all the physical strength and a more boyish figure however with all fairness he wasn't very smart. Fuji needed to find some way to motivate Yuuta into studying, a tutor perhaps. And that was how he found himself in front of Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"Tezuka! Can I ask a favour of you?" Fuji questioned.

"What are you planning?" Tezuka asked.

"Do you think you can perhaps tutor Yuuta for me?" Fuji asked.

"I'm sorry. There's a huge tennis tournament after the school break that I need to focus on. I need to make sure I'm in top physical shape." Tezuka explained, "And shouldn't you be the one tutoring?"

"What do you mean?" Fuji blinked.

"You got top grades in our year." Tezuka frowned.

"Oh… Yea." Fuji shrugged, "Did I forget to mention that my old school called me tensai Fuji Syusuke?"

"I believe that's never slipped out of your mouth." Tezuka replied.

"Oh… Well, I'm tensai Fuji Syusuke, nice to meet you. But Yuuta wouldn't want to learn from me… especially after what happened these few weeks. We're finally starting to repair our bond, and I wouldn't want to ruin the progress by getting all in his face…"

"That's very thoughtful of you." Tezuka nodded.

"I'm going to try to find someone else then. Good luck with your tennis Tezuka." Fuji smiled before darting off into the school building.

"Fuji-hime! What's the rush?" Atobe Keigo questioned as a blur of brown ran past him.

Fuji immediately halted in step, turned around and asked, "Atobe-senpai, you've obviously passed the first year midterms since you're in your second year now. Do you think you can tutor Yuuta for me?"

Atobe frowned, "I'd love to… but I've got to admit that the mid terms were really hard this year for some reason… Besides, I'm already tutoring my friend, Shishidou Ryou."

"Oh…" Fuji frowned.

"I'm sorry love." Atobe made sure to stroke her cheek.

"I've got to find someone else…" Fuji sighed before darting off once more. Surely enough he passed by a large board with the mid terms scores posted upon it.

1. Fuji Syusuke

2. Tezuka Kunimitsu

3. Oishi Syuichiro

Fuji gave a small nod to himself; he didn't know Oishi was that smart. Good thing too, Oishi was really friendly, the perfect tutor for Yuuta! Not to mention Oishi and his best friend were now dating, so as the best friend he should get some free favours right? He made his way towards the boy's dormitory and to the room he knew to belong to his close friend Kikumaru Eiji and Yuuta's future tutor to be. He grabbed the door by the handle and twisted it open; knocking has never even crossed his mind. He stepped in and let his jaw drop before slowly backing away and closing the door shut. Wow.

So he supposed Oishi was now out of the question since he seemed a bit preoccupied at the moment with his roommate. Which only meant one thing… Yuuta would have to study by himself and get the proper motivation to do so. And from the history of Yuuta as much as Fuji wanted to deny it, there was only one person who made him study and brought him into this school to begin with… Tachibana Ann.

It's been weeks since Fuji set up camp in the middle of school grounds and even longer since he used his key to his designated dorm room. He seriously needed all his courage to do this. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he opened the door.

"Syu-chan! I haven't seen you in so long!" Tachibana Ann squealed as she practically skipped in front of Fuji and was about to give him a big kiss had Fuji not move his head in time.

"Listen, Ann-san… Please don't touch me there. I need you help." Fuji informed.

"Sure! I'll give you help with anything." Ann winked. Fuji shuddered.

"Do you think you can date Yuuta again?" Fuji questioned.

"What? No way! I'm totally into you. I just love girls and the empowering and fulfilling idea of being in a relationship with one." Ann grinned.

"But he needs you to date him. If not, he's going to transfer out of his school because of his grades!" Fuji explained.

"Well, that's good. He won't get in our way." Ann wrapped her arms around Fuji's waist.

Fuji let out an aggravated noise before taking his roommate by the hand (much to Ann's delight) dragging her off towards the boy's dormitory. Fuji had enough! He managed to talk to Tezuka after that weird double date with Saeki disaster, he even asked his Atobe-senpai for help, then he walked in on Oishi and Eiji and gosh! At first he believed that asking Ann was the last resort, but to be truthful, it wasn't.

"Syusuke, Ann-san. What are you doing here?" Yuuta blinked as Fuji kicked open his door.

"Yuuta. You've got to study as hard as you can!" Fuji urged.

"Syusuke?" Yuuta blinked.

"STUDY!" Fuji yelled pulling out a knife and pressing it against Ann's throat, "If you don't work hard to keep your grades up, I'll kill her. I swear to the gods of homework and midterm exams I will kill her."

"Oh Syu-chan! You're into this stuff to aren't you?" Ann flirted with a rather kinky smirk on her face.

Yuuta's mouth hung open, "Uh… You're crazy Syu."

"Crazy?" Fuji questioned pressing the knife closer to Ann's throat, "Or desperate?"

"Crazy." Yuuta confirmed, "Besides, I'm studying right now."

Fuji blinked, releasing his hold on Ann, "Really?"

"Yea." Yuuta shrugged, "I should be studying for my own sake, not for some girl."

"Oh Yuuta!" Fuji gasped happily with a smile of approval on his face, "I'm so proud of you! I'll leave you alone then. Study hard! And good luck!"

"Yea… Thanks." Yuuta nodded before closing his door shut (a task that was much harder than it looked, since the hinges were broken).


"YUUTA!" Fuji cheered as he kicked open Yuuta's door a week later.

"Yea?" Yuuta questioned as he glanced up as his twin brother dressed up as his twin sister.

"You did it! You passed!" Fuji exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I know!" Yuuta smiled.

"I'm so proud of you and… what the heck is that thing hanging off of you?" Fuji frowned.

"Oh. This is Mizuki Hajime, my roommate. He really motivated me and helped me to study." Yuuta explained.

"Eh?" Fuji blinked.

"We're dating." The purple blob thing grinned.

"NOOO!" Fuji's shriek resonated throughout the entire building.

To be continued.
