Summary thus far: The party is now over, but Tezuka and Ryoma still haven't confessed to each other! Fuji and Mito teamed up, and are now faced up against Shinju and Ryoko, who also teamed up! Will the two ignorant lovebirds give up trying to confess? Or will the continue to persevere?

TENSHI HIGH'S EVIL BUCHOU!

-Chapter Eight: Birthday Present…?-

"Ne, Kunimitsu?" Ryoma asked softly.

"Hmm?" Tezuka hummed back.

"It's Monday…" the younger teen answered.

Silence.

"So…?" Ryoma stared into Tezuka's eyes and the older widened his own. "Oh… yeah… the tennis matches."

Ryoma leaned against the wall. "Do you think… we'll win against Momo and Kaidoh…?"

Tezuka nodded. "We have to… I don't want to drink that juice. Also, Ryoma… I…!"

"COME DOWNSTAIRS YOU TWO!" Kyou yelled up the stairs.

"Ah, shoot! It's almost time for morning practice, c'mon Kunimitsu!" Ryoma called and picked up his bag, uncharacteristically hyper and excited for school for once.

Shinju stepped onto the court. "Give me your best shot, Golden Pair!"

Oishi and Eiji nodded. "We still have to wait for Fuji though…"

Shinju snorted. "We shouldn't have to wait for that piece of…" the silverette trailed off when he saw his soon-to-be victim and nodded to Fuji as he entered the courts. "Fuji."

"…Buchou…"

The two glared at each other vehemently.

"Did… did something happen?"

Shinju shook his head. "Nandemonai, it's nothing really. Let's start the game."

Toushiro watched Shinju as the match began. "He's not concentrating at all…"

"Coach, is Kiryu-buchou not telling us something?"

"What makes you think that Tezuka? Start your game," Toushiro instructed, trying his best to keep his thoughts to himself. It wouldn't do good to have other people knowing about Shinju's life… 'Shoot,' the whitenette thought, 'I sound like such a protective boyfriend…'

Tezuka hesitated before nodding and heading back to Ryoma. "You guys can serve first," Inui offered.

Tezuka cleared his throat. "Thank you, Inui," Tezuka stood in the middle of the court. "But you'll regret ever thinking that."

Ryoma used his twist serve and Kaidoh stepped back to return it.

The tennis ball shifted toward Tezuka and he hit it toward the left corner. "Tezuka zone?" Inui mused with slight shock as Kaidoh hit a Boomerang Snake.

Ryoma lobbed it accidentally and Inui jumped up to use the Waterfall… smash-style (I'm pretty sure he can't use Waterfall during a rally, but this is a fanfiction ^^;).

"Shimatta," Ryoma quipped and Tezuka copied Fuji's Kirin Otoshi.

STOP! In my story, Tezuka can also copy moves, okay? No nagging about that, please…

Tezuka turned to look at Ryoma. "Did you have to lob it?"

"Gomen, Kunimitsu," Ryoma dribbled the yellow ball and used his twist serve once more. "I won't make the same mistake.

"Game and match! Seven games to five! Kiryu-Fuji pair wins!" Shinju wiped his face with a towel.

"You were distracted… didn't I tell you to focus when you get on the court? Keep trivial means out of the tennis courts," Toushiro reprimanded.

Shinju sat on the bench and closed his eyes. "Yeah, but how can I when… when my enemy is my partner?"

"I suppose… I probably would've done the same," Toushiro handed Shinju a bottle.

"…I love you Toushiro," said man blushed slightly.

"I can't remember how many times you've said that," the whitenette huffed.

Shinju chuckled and held the golden chain around his neck. "But those three words… I love you… they're so important. Saying 'I love you' to a person seems easy… but the first time is always the hardest," Shinju looked at Tezuka and Ryoma. "For those two, it will be very hard… because of those who oppose it…"

"…'It' being a gay relationship, right?" Shinju nodded sadly and Toushiro hugged him from behind while putting his head on the teen's head. "…I love you too, Shinju."

The red eyed teen smiled. "…Thank you Toushiro… for loving me…"

"Game and match! Seven games to six! Tezuka-Echizen pair wins!"

Inui panted heavily. "You guys got a lot… better… how'd that happen in just two days?"

"Practice," Ryoma said with a smirk. "Now Inui-sempai and Kaidoh-sempai have to drink Inui-sempai's 'Pakinn' juice."

The two froze. "Fshhhh… n-no way…"

"We have to, it was the promise," Inui muttered with a dark sigh.

"FSHHHH! WHAT promise, sempai?"

It was too late, the brown gelatin was poured down their throats. Inui fell to the floor on his knees and Kaidoh did the same, "…? Are you okay?"

"…GOOGA!" Inui shouted out happily and crawled around on the floor. "Mitakyoupita batoot," the bespectacled man continued in his babble before crawling over to and hugging Kaidoh. "I wuvs oo!"

Kaidoh hugged back with a wide grin. "I wuvs oo doo!"

The other regulars sweat dropped. "This isn't a dream… is it?"

Shinju took a picture and smirked. "Nope."

"Ah oo nowee tat mitoo pershyon evals!"

"I godt dat imprshin toos!"

"The hell are they saying, buchou?"

Shinju was looking through a book. "Inui said, 'Ah, you know that Mito person evil!' Then Kaidoh said, 'I got that impression too!' Yep, that's it."

Ryoma twitched. "Why do you have some weird baby translator book?"

"It's actually my cousin's, long story… and a boring one."

"Ryoma!"

Shinju heard Mito's voice. "Tezuka, get Echizen out of here, I'm dismissing the both of you early," the two nodded and ran off as Mito began to chase after them. "And where do you think you're going?" Shinju asked as he stopped her.

"To see my brother," Mito ran past the young tennis captain.

Shinju turned around and partially threw the female in the other direction. "Half brother, in fact, and he doesn't want to see you."

Mito glared. "How do you know that?"

Shinju chuckled and pointed at the two teens. "I know this for a fact. I mean, why else would he agree to leave early from practice? That's so unlike him."

"W-Well…" Mito attempted to run but the two baby minded teens held on to Mito's ankles angrily, "Sthop its! Dun gedt in da ways of der wuvs!"

Kaidoh nodded vigorously. "Oo thould jusdth gives upth!"

Mito looked at the two. "What—?"

'Stop it! Don't get in the way of their love!'

'You should just give up!'

"That's what they said," Shinju interpreted happily and then glared. "You're not supposed to be here anyway… only tennis members can go on the courts. You sure as hell ain't one, but you're working with someone on my team, so I'm not at all surprised."

"How do you know about that?" Mito asked with shocked eyes.

"I'm a genius, now leave before I get security!"

The girl glared at stormed away. "Umm, oi, Shin… we don't have security here…"

Shinju smiled. "Duh! Ne, Kawamura, I give you permission to do that."

"E-Eh? But won't Fu—BURNING! Thank you so much buchou! Ahahahaha! I won't let you down!" the teen left in search of a certain sadist.

"What is th—"

"None of your business," the silverette interrupted the regulars. "Go on and start fifty laps around the court!" he ordered loudly.

"WHAT?" the tennis players cried.

"ALL of you! Complain and it'll be raised to one hundred!" the tennis members scrambled to run their laps quickly and hastily.

"Dammit, buchou's being impossible today!"

"Tadaimas!" Tezuka greeted.

"Kunimitsu! You're home earlier than usual; would you and your friend like something to eat?" Ayana asked sweetly.

Tezuka turned to Ryoma who shook his head. "No thanks, kaasan. We're good."

"You sure?"

"Yes," the two went up the stairs and entered Tezuka's room.

"Umm, I really have to tell you something important, Kunimitsu! I—"

Tezuka's phone rang. "Sorry," Tezuka picked up his phone.

"It's alright," Ryoma murmured in disappointment.

The brunette shut the cursed object off. "You were saying?"

The cell phone rang again. "…Just answer it, Kunimitsu."

"What you say is much more important than what anyone else has to say," Tezuka reasoned.

Ryoma blushed and the phone went to voicemail. "Hello? Please pick up your phone Kunimitsu! It's a big crisis!"

The golden eyed teen sighed. "Just pick the phone up, please? For me?"

The teen had his pouting face on and the older gave in. "What do you need oniisan? If it's unimportant then—"

"Your friend is fainted on the street!"

"…Who?" Tezuka's bewildered face made Ryoma attempt to hold in his laughter.

"Umm, I think his name is Fuji or something…" Tezuka's face was still confused and Ryoma chuckled.

"You know Fuji the 'no-sense-of-taste-blackmailing-genius-sadist?' That's who your brother is talking about."

"Oh, thank you Ryoma. Sorry oniisan, I wasn't focusing and blanked out. Where are you?"

"In front of your school—"

Tezuka groaned loudly and actually rolled his eyes. "Please get someone in the school to bring him to the infirmary!"

"But he said he wanted you to bring him—OOPS! Sorry Fuji, I failed…"

"Saa, it's okay. Tezuka, I ne—"

Tezuka hung up and shook his head. "You were saying something…?"

Ryoma smiled painfully. 'Kami-sama… you truly don't want us to be,' the teen thought miserably. "It's nothing."

'I'm so sorry Kunimitsu…'

"But you said it was really important," Tezuka pressed.

'No, you're Tezuka to me, now…'

"I was mistaken."

Tezuka looked at Ryoma suspiciously. "Are you sure?"

Ryoma nodded his head slowly. "Mm hmm," Tezuka scratched his head. 'But that's a lie… I'm sorry Tezuka… I'm so sorry.'

The bespectacled brunette looked to the side. "Uh, I have to tell you something, too, actually."

Ryoma looked at Tezuka's slightly red face, not understanding or taking in the little hints. "What is it?"

"Umm… Ryoma… I think I… no, I know that I lo—" the door opened and hit Tezuka forward onto Ryoma. The older of the two widened his eyes as his lips descended harshly against the prodigy's own lips.

-End Chapter Eight: Birthday Present…?-

Shinju: (snickers)

-…? What did you do this time…?

Shinju: aha… nothing (looks so innocent)

-That won't work on me, you are me…

Shinju: oh yeah… why is your character a guy anyway?

-Umm… I'm obsessed with yaoi, that's why! (beams proudly)

Tezuka and Ryoma: WTF?

-Ah… you guys are here… ehe…

Shinju: (snickers again)

Ryoma: why the heck are you snickering?

Tezuka: what are you laughing about, Kiryu-buchou?

-Oh! I think I know why now… the ending, right?

Shinju: (snickers yet again) yep~!

Tezuka: ending…? (looks at end of story) …that was you, wasn't it…?

Shinju: (snickers for the fourth time) Of course, who else?

Ryoma: (is quite frantic) THAT person who opened the door… was YOU?

Shinju: yeppers! But, it was a mistake to open the door in the first place since you were about to confess, Tezuka

Tezuka: …how did you get into my house…?

Shinju: (waved around a golden key with an evil glint in his eyes) how else?

-(sweat drops along with Ryoma and Tezuka) Ne, Shinju, you know that's illegal, right?

Shinju: looks at the key in his hand

Ryoma: didn't know buchou would sneak into people's houses…

Shinju: …this is MY house key… and Ayana let me into the house X3

Tezuka: then why did you wave the key…?

Shinju: I like messing with people's minds… lolz XD (sticks tongue out playfully)

-…Well I guess that's it… ne?

Tezuka: the next chapter will probably be up… soon?

-! NO, BECAUSE I AM SO LAZY!

Ryoma: …that's not a real reason…

-Shaddup! You dunno my laziness… awoowoowoo…
