Summary thus far: Ryoma has an older half sister? That LOVES him more than just a sibling? Tezuka's jealous and heartbroken, so what will happen now? What will happen to their relationship?
TENSHI HIGH'S EVIL BUCHOU!
This is a continuation of Saturday… there will be MFLFS… Massive Foul Language From Shinju.
-Chapter Five: His Revival… is Crucial-
Tezuka sighed in frustration and kicked his chair in his fiery anger. "Even thought Echizen like guys… that Mito girl has a better chance because she's related… she knows more…!"
'Oh god, she can blackmail him… if she ruins his father's reputation, people will see Echizen differently! He might get hurt, or worse… targeted! Maybe… maybe he might even get killed by some random person on the street! Maybe… maybe…!'
"Hello? Tezuka? Come on, pick up!"
The junior picked up his phone. "Hello? Kiryu-buchou?"
"Yeah, it's me… I'm really sorry for what I did."
"You didn't do anything," Tezuka said with a sigh.
There was another sigh on the other line. "But I forced the answer out of her, it really is my fault! If I hadn't done that… then we wouldn't have learned she—"
"For me, learning that someone else likes Echizen is heartbreaking. Yes, that's true… but it also made me more aware of my love for him," the brunette said in a soft voice.
"First off, I told you to call him by his given name. Listen, I'll cancel today's practice so—"
"No. It's fine; there's no way… there's no need to cancel," there was an unsure sound on the other end. "Really Kiryu-buchou, it'll be fine. We'll continue with the training."
There was a long pause. "…You were thinking of how Echizen-san could blackmail Echizen, right? Don't lie to me, either."
"How did you know?" Tezuka asked after exhaling sharply.
"I was actually thinking the same thing. Echizen-san was most definitely NOT part of my plan… she's ruined the play that I thought was perfectly set up. Of course, every play needs a villain, and I still have yet to choose who is the bad person. However, she ruined everything. But… it just means it'll be more of a challenge then…" the teen rambled on.
"I'll bring Echizen—"
"I told you to call him by his given name; his first name."
"…I'll bring Ryoma to the park now."
There was a deep chuckled. "Meet you there Tezuka," said teen hung up and look out the window sadly.
'I may not know much about Kiryu-buchou's 'play'… but I know enough to know that trouble will be wherever he is.'
This, Tezuka was sure of.
"Nng, sorry for waking up late Kunimitsu. I was on the computer and fell asleep somewhat later," the younger tennis player mumbled tiredly.
Tezuka felt a pain in his chest when his name was said. "It's fine. We should get going soon," Ryoma stretched out lazily and stared at Tezuka. "Echizen?"
"Ryoma."
Tezuka blinked. "…Echizen," said teen smiled with irritation.
"Ryoma."
The former Seigaku captain sighed. "Echizen, I ne—"
"Ryoma. We can do this all day if you want Kunimitsu, but I have all the time in the world and you don't," the golden eyes prodigy informed.
The older teen sighed in utter defeat. "Okay Ryoma, let's go. Kiryu-buchou and the coach are probably waiting."
Ryoma smirked at his obvious win. "Okay then!"
Ryoma swung his racket in the empty air. "…So it's a two-on-one match? Isn't that unfair on your part?"
Shinju leaned his icy blue racket on his shoulder and winked. "Then it'd be fair to go easy on me, ne?"
Tezuka took his place at the baseline. 'I have to keep trivial means out of this, I have to help Ryoma succeed.'
'Your mind is elsewhere Tezuka… you won't be able to win like that,' Shinju used a backhand hit to return the serve and it hit the top of the net. The yellow ball moved upward into the air and slipped into the opposing side of the court. "Kuro Tenshi."
"Not now!" Ryoma lunged forward and lobbed the ball into the air.
Shinju jumped up into the air. "Tenshi no Kin," he smashed the ball and landed daintily on the court.
He widened his eyes in surprise as the ball passed him. "…Hou, I didn't think you'd use Tezuka Zone at this point. How… unexpected. But it's pleasant to know I'm worthy to bring out your competitiveness."
"Aa."
"Fifteen-love!" Toushiro called out and Shinju chuckled as he took his glasses out.
"Looks like I need to get serious. You defeated and returned two of my Angels. I might even have to use my Devils… if I do have to use them, gomen Shiro."
"I'm disappointed in you."
Shinju shook his head and sighed. "I dislike showing another person my Devil shots as well."
Toushiro narrowed his eyes. 'I don't think they can handle it… when Shinju puts his glasses on it's like he's a whole other person.'
Tezuka threw the ball into the air and served.
"Akai Tenshi."
The ball lightly tapped the baseline and rolled forward. "Fifteen-all," Toushiro called
"I've… never seen Kiryu-buchou like this…" Tezuka nodded in agreement. "But… we have to work together Kunimitsu," the younger continued, "so you have to tell me what's on your mind; what's bothering you so much?"
'Is it that obvious?'
'Ah, so the little prodigy has noticed… finally.'
"…Nothing is wrong Echizen," said teen turned to Tezuka.
"You keep calling me Echizen, but you had no problem calling me 'Ryoma' the other day. Something is definitely wrong, and I don't believe you when you say nothing is wrong," Ryoma hesitated before lightly touching his former tennis captain's arm.
"I can tell something is wrong, Kunimitsu."
"…S-Someone told me… that they… like you."
"E-Eh?"
"Oi, we can't continue the game like this!" the silverette captain called.
"Sorry, we were just finishing up," Tezuka informed his captain.
Shinju took his glasses off. "That's not what I meant. I was trying to say that we're in a dire need for a serious discussion," Shinju put his glasses away. "Echizen… do you know someone named Mito Echizen?"
"Hah? Nope, don't know her," the Echizen child denied with a shake of his head. "Who is she?"
Shinju muttered a curse under his breath. "That woman is messing up my script… and I thought it was perfect… Tezuka we need to stop our game. We have much more important matters to discuss."
'Yes… this is very important because…'
'Kiryu-buchou… you actually care about—'
"If this continues, my work will be useless!"
'…Never mind,' Tezuka sweat dropped.
"But really… this Echizen-san said she was your half sister... and she loves you as more than just that."
"What the hell? I don't even know her!"
"Yes… but she knows you and that is dangerous."
"How?" Ryoma asked defiantly.
"I was talking with Tezuka earlier… and he's worried about you," Shinju pressed, causing Tezuka to look away with a light blush.
Ryoma paused. "Kunimitsu is worried about me?"
Tezuka nodded in confirmation. "Yes… I'm afraid that because Echizen-san knows so much about you, she can blackmail you into going out with her."
The sophomore glared. "I'm not stupid, Kunimitsu, I know very well when I'm getting blackmailed and I think I know how to handle—"
"Ryoma, with the information she has… people will definitely look down on you, no matter how good you are," Tezuka had his hands on Ryoma's shoulders. "Think about it; she's your half sister."
Ryoma widened his eyes and shook his head. "N-No… that's just… the old man may be perverted… but cheating on mom?"
"No… your father met Echizen-san's mother before meeting your mother. The girl said it was purely by accident, and I did some background check to see if it was real," the two looked at Shinju for an answer. "She was telling the truth."
"Wait, but isn't that kind of information off limits?"
"It's better not to ask Tezuka," Toushiro hurriedly said when he saw Shinju smirk.
"Well, while it is true that Nanjiroh-san is her father… it is also true she was born before he met Rinko-san."
Ryoma sadly looked down. "…How old is she?"
"Twenty something… I don't particularly remember. She may be a threat, but that little bit of 'may be' is enough for me to forget… tsk."
Ryoma's knees gave way and he fell. Tezuka caught him in time and pulled him into a hug as a gesture to comfort the younger teen. "It's okay Ryoma… you'll get through this."
"Dad… is so stupid," Ryoma gripped the front of Tezuka's shirt and buried his head in the elder's chest. "He's so… so stupid…!"
The junior closed his eyes and pat Ryoma's head. "It's okay, Ryoma; I'm here if you ever need me."
"…I'm sorry Kunimitsu… I'm getting your shirt wet," the sophomore's voice cracked at the end.
"It's fine, I have more. Just let it out Ryoma, it'll help a lot," the younger did as he was told and wrapped his arms around Tezuka's waist, crying his eyes out.
Shinju looked up at the gray clouds floating above them. "This is why I should've canceled the training. Come on, let's move to a more dry location; it looks like it'll rain soon."
The older teen nodded and looked at the person in his arms. "…Is that okay, Ryoma?"
"Ahongare."
Tezuka blinked. "You… You don't care?"
"A, ahongare aholl."
Tezuka sighed and picked up the lithe figure bridal style. "Let's go."
"I need to confront your father on this," Shinju said rather seriously as Toushiro backed out of the parking space. "Is it alright with you, Echizen?" said teen had his head resting on Tezuka's shoulder.
"…Ah…"
"Though… I was surprised when you knew what he was saying… Tezuka," Shinju commented and Ryoma looked up at Tezuka for an answer to his silent question.
"I don't… really know how I knew exactly. I just had some kind of feeling…"
"Ah…" Toushiro parked the car. "This is Echizen's house… right?" Toushiro asked slowly and Ryoma nodded. "Then why is there a girl in front of it?"
The three looked at where Toushiro was pointing through the rain and Shinju snapped.
"NANI? Shit! That bitch didn't have enough online and now she comes to Echizen's house? I'll wipe that fucking smug look offa her face right now!" the silverette let out a feral growl.
"Shinju!" said teen got out of the car and slammed the door. "…Shit."
Toushiro cursed all higher beings.
"You fuckin' little bitch! You're Mito Echizen, right?" the girl nodded while blinking rapidly. "Good, cause I'm going to fuckin' give you a conc—"
Toushiro clamped Shinju's mouth and glared at Mito while holding his koibito protectively. "You are the second person to make Shinju curse. Let me tell you something: that isn't a good thing."
"That's right bitch! You fuckin' turn your ass around and never come back! If you do, I swear I'll rip your innards right out of your little fuckin b—"
Toushiro once again clamped his boyfriend's mouth. "The first person who made Shinju curse had to spend two years in the hospital and is still injured," Shinju stopped struggling and a look of pain was on his face, "so I suggest you get the hell out of here and never come back."
"Y-You're the one who used the virus on me, and you're the one who cursed at me in the chat room…"
"Hell yes bi—" Toushiro squeezed Shinju's arm gently to silence the latter.
"W-Well… where I go isn't any of your business! This isn't your house, it's Ryoma's!"
"Don't talk like you know me fondly bitch!" Ryoma shouted loudly for the while world to hear. "Yeah, it's my house! I never want to see you here again!"
Nanjiroh rushed out of the house. "What're you doing Ryoma? Ah, Mito! You're here early… come in and have a cup of tea."
Mito smirked at the four shocked people. "Of course… father."
"…You're despicable…" Shinju glared and almost punched her, if not for Toushiro holding him protectively.
"Come in, seishounen."
The teen didn't move an inch. "…Go, Ryoma. Your dad is calling y—"
"I'm only going in if Kunimitsu, Kiryu-buchou, and coach do, too."
Nanjiroh narrowed his eyes. "Never."
Ryoma glared and stood behind Tezuka. "Then I'm not going in."
The father of the golden eyed teen groaned. "Fine, they can come too," Nanjiroh glared at Tezuka specifically and entered the house. The four males did likewise.
"Why is this… girl… in the house?" Ryoma asked while keeping his distance away from the girl.
"Since you were acting depressed, I thought a girlfriend would cheer you up for sure! That's why I brought Mito—"
Ryoma slammed his hands on the table. "First of all she's older than me… and second, don't choose who I go out with BASTARD!"
"Ryoma!" Tezuka scolded and pulled said teen down to sit once more.
"I'm your dad, and I have to approve of whom you go out wi—"
Shinju chuckled, cutting the older Echizen off. It was then that everyone noticed he had his glasses on.
"Sure… you're a parent so you have to approve. However… Echizen is the one who picks the person in the first place."
Nanjiroh scoffed. "Who wouldn't go out with Mito?"
"Me!" Shinju declared loudly yet seriously.
"Me," Toushiro replied while casually leaning back.
"…Me," Tezuka replied while thinking of Ryoma.
"I would never go out with her in a million years," Ryoma finished.
"Give me a good reason why, all of you."
Shinju hugged Toushiro and smirked. "I'm gay and already going out with Toushiro."
"I already have Shinju," Toushiro touched Shinju's hand affectionately.
"You?" Nanjiroh asked while turning to Tezuka.
"I… already like… I have someone else on my mind."
"Well what if you two weren't going out and you didn't have that person in your head?" Nanjiroh shouted desperately.
"Well I'm still gay," Shinju said while attempting to kiss Toushiro.
"So am I… stop it Shinju," Toushiro pushed the younger down on the cushion and stood up.
"The person I like is a guy…" Tezuka said with slight embarrassment.
"Oi, Ryoma! You still have to give me a reason, don't think I've forgotten!"
"I… I…"
"No reason, right? So just—"
"I like another guy!" Tezuka heard his heart thumping wildly and felt his face heat up.
"Ah, well there you have it, Nanjiroh-san. All of us are gay, so let it go," Shinju said with a fake smile.
Nanjiroh blinked in bewilderment. "I… I won't accept this!"
"You won't have to," Shinju stood up.
"I can kick Ryoma out of the house!"
The mentioned teen reacted by grabbing Tezuka's hand. "Then I can stay at Kunimitsu's house," Nanjiroh blinked, at a loss for words.
"I can blackmail you," Mito countered bravely.
Shinju laughed loudly. If someone were to explain what the devil's eyes looked like… his eyes would be the description.
"I can blackmail you. Even if you just try to offend one of my friends, know that I'm a hacker. I know everything about you, and if it's a battle on blackmail or hacking… I will surely win."
"I'm a hacker as well! I can get information on you!"
"Please," Shinju scoffed mockingly and glared menacingly with an evil smirk. "I've known Inui the data-man and Fuji the I-need-information-to-blackmail-you guy for three… five years actually. Neither was able to get significant information on me."
"The internet is—"
"I've already taken the precautions as to when a day like this would happen. So I paid to have my 'existence' in this world 'destroyed' completely."
Toushiro reappeared carrying a suitcase. "When'd you even leave?" Ryoma asked with confusion.
"When Tezuka was talking. Here, I packed all your clothes for you so you can stay at Tezuka's house."
"Ah, thanks," Ryoma took the suitcase and grabbed his ex-buchou's wrist. "…I won't be coming back just to let you know."
The four left the Echizen household for, hopefully, the last time.
"Tadaimas!"
"Okaeri Kuni…mitsu? Who's the shorty?"
The teen twitched and popped a vein. "Grr…"
Tezuka sighed tiredly and rubbed his eyes. "This is Echizen Ryoma, and he'll be spending the night at out house… possibly for a while."
"How kawaii! Tezuka, is he your koibito?" a woman pinched Ryoma's cheek.
"I-Itai!"
"Katomi-neechan!"
"Oh, Kunimitsu, you've found yourself such an adorable koibito!"
Tezuka blushed fiercely and tried to hide it. "H-He's not my koibito! He's on my tennis team, and a close friend!"
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say outoto," the male smiled. "I'm Tezuka Kyou, thirty years of age and currently unemployed!"
Another girl came in and looked at Ryoma. "Eh? He is so~ cute! Oh, you're Echizen-san in my class right? I'm Tezuka Karin, your drama teacher, twenty-five years of age!"
"And I'm Tezuka Katomi, twenty years of age and in college!"
Ryoma nodded. "I know you're my teacher… and it's nice to meet the rest of Kunimitsu's family," the teen decided to bow and Kyou stifled a laugh.
"He HAS to be your koibito… he calls you by first name!"
"That's because…"
"Ah, we plan to play doubles in tennis… and another doubles team said it's better to say each other's given name for synchronization. It's also more comfortable…" Ryoma mumbled.
Karin sighed dreamily. "Oh, excuses… ne… you plan on writing books, right Katomi?"
"Of course I want to be an author! I'd love that! Why do you ask?"
"Kuni-chan and Echizen-kun would make the perfect main characters of a BL novel!"
This time it was Ryoma to stifle a laugh. "K-Kuni-chan? Haha, that's so… so not him…"
The older teen blushed. "Ahem… what do you mean by a BL novel?"
Ryoma looked up. "Oh yeah… what is that? Buchou mentioned it before that one time when we were dressed up in our costumes for the party…"
FLASHBACK
Shinju twirled around. "Don't they look like the perfect people to be in a BL novel, Shiro?"
"Dangit Shin! Stop twirling around and PLEASE stop calling me Shiro!"
Shinju giggled childishly and sat down on Toushiro's lap while looking up at him. "But it's a cute name that fits you perfectly!"
"How?"
"Well… ah, you're seme… so it doesn't fit you… ne, Shiro, give me a cute nickname too!"
"Wh-Wha?" the white haired coach spluttered.
Shinju dangled his legs. "Because I'm uke and should have a cute nickname… don't you read any BL novels?"
"NO I don't… I'm too afraid ever since that time three years ago when you brought me one!" Toushiro shouted and sighed.
"N-Ne…Kiryu- buchou? What's a BL novel?" Ryoma asked out of curiosity.
"Well… BL stands for-"
"Would you look at the time? We have to get going!" Toushiro interrupted with a deep blush adorning his face.
"Aww, you looks so cute like that Shiro! Maybe you should be uke~!" Shinju teased as he followed the older man out the door, leaving Tezuka and Ryoma confused in the room.
END OF FLASHBACK
Katomi snickered. "Well… it's a Boy's Love novel, of course!" the two teens flustered.
"I don't… why would me and Kunimitsu… main characters in that… type of… n-novel…?" Ryoma looked at the two female Tezukas in askance with a deep blush adorned on his cheeks.
"It's because you two look adorable next to each other!" Shinju said as he let himself in happily. "You know, I took pictures of when they were in their costumes, here it is!"
Shinju smiled as he gave said pictures to the girls who squealed, "Aww! That's so cute~!"
"We're having… well we're planning to have a party on Sunday, and those two—"
"Are they going to be dressed like this?" Katomi asked.
"Of course."
"Can we come?" Karin asked excitedly.
"Sure! Family members are invited, no questions asked!" Shinju heard his phone ring and flipped it open after smiling from who the caller was. "Hello~? Ah, yes… uh huh. Okay, mm… but I want to play s'more!"
"Che, I bet it's the coach," Ryoma mumbled.
"Mou, Shiro! You're so mean!"
Ryoma rolled his eyes. "Yep…"
"You mean this guy was the one who was talking about BL novels?" Katomi asked with a grin. Tezuka nodded.
"Ah, but I don't want to be the uke this time…"
"What's that?" Ryoam asked curiously while the two female Tezuka siblings giggled uncontrollably.
"It's what you would be, if you were in a relationship with Tezuka," Karin and Katomi squealed while hugging each other.
Ryoma still didn't understand. "Eh?"
"Why are you feeling so stingy today Shiro? Hah? Oh~! Fine then, since you say that," Shinju smiled mischievously and put his phone away. "Ja, I gotta go now, Shiro is calling me. See you tomorrow, Tezuka, Echizen," Shinju looked sadly at the two then left quietly.
Shinju got into the car. "Ne, Toushiro… do you think that maybe… maybe my script has been thrown away?"
Toushiro gripped the wheel harder and narrowed his eyes. "There is only one person who can make your script wrong."
"…But… this girl… she did many things that…" Shinju swallowed hard. "She was able to make me curse… she got me so frustrated… and I never had this information incorporated in my script at all. Nowhere did I put Mito Echizen in my play…"
"She's just another person trying to gain the spotlight," Toushiro pulled Shinju into a hug and kissed the young teen's forehead. "Yes… she is trying to take the spotlight in a play that you didn't create. Echizen himself made one."
"This play… it is missing something though," Shinju closed his eyes as tears once again began to fall from his eyes. "Echizen's play… it is missing something very important."
Toushiro tilted Shinju's face up and wiped the tears away. "That's why… Tezuka's revival is crucial… to both his play and yours."
Shinju closed his eyes. "…You're right… again. Thank you, Shiro… thank you…"
"You can sleep on the bed; I'll sleep on the floor," Tezuka said.
"For the last time Kunimitsu, its your bed!"
Tezuka shook the water from his wet hair. "Ryoma, we're not getting anywhere."
The younger teen sighed. "You're right… why don't we just sleep on the bed together?"
"Hah?"
"Since you want me to sleep on the bed and I want you to sleep on the bed it works out, right? We both get what we want and we're all happy."
Tezuka twitched and bit his tongue to hold in his comment of, 'A bit too happy if you ask me… Ryoma almost looks eager to get into bed…' Tezuka sighed. "But…"
"The bed is big enough, right? It'll be fine, come on… I'm sleepy!" Ryoma tugged Tezuka's sleeve like an insistent child until the other finally gave in.
"Okay fine," Tezuka turned the lights off and placed his classes on the bedside table before giving his hair one last shake to dry.
Ryoma hopped onto the bed and buried himself under the covers while crawled into the other side of the bed. "These sheets smell nice… they smell like you."
Tezuka blushed and pulled the covers over his head to hide his embarrassment, even though it was dark. "Good night Ryoma."
Tezuka couldn't see it, but Ryoma was smiling. The younger teen closed his eyes. "G'night Kunimitsu."
-End Chapter Five: His Revival… is Crucial-
