-Morning-
"Yaaaaaawwwnnnn... What a dream!" I got out of bed, showered and did my daily things in RYOMA'S BATHROOM. HAR HAR I kicked him out just as he was about to brush his teeth. :D "NEE-CHAAAN, GET OUT!!" "Hm. Nah."

-20 minutes laters-

"ALL yours kiddo." I patted his head as he gave me an annoyed look but went in to get ready for school.
I walked down to the kitchen, spying an empty counter.
"UNCLE, WHERE'S MY SUSHI FOR LUNCH?"
"In the fridge yawn with Ryoma's."
"Arigatou!"
Ryoma walked in as I set some breakfast on the table. Apparently, Aunt had gotten in before me which was pretty early.
"Nee-chan, you know I hate western food..." He mumbled at me.
"Oh just eat it and Inui said to drink 3 bottles of milk."
"Hai." He grumbled quietly but nonetheless ate.
I grabbed my bags and left out the door 5 minutes before Ryoma was done.

"MATTE AZU!"

I stopped and turned my head to look at him.

"Haiyaku (is that wrong spelling?) Ryoma. I hear if you're late for morning practice, it's 20 or 100 laps."
"ECHIZEN, MATTE. Oh hi, Azu-sempai."
Momo came by riding on his bike, apparently they went to school together.
"Ohayo, Momoshiro."
"Call me Momo-chan." He gave a goofy grin. I stared at him blankly.

"Iie." He frowned but turned to Ryoma to talk about what happened after yesterday's practice.

As they were talking, I was already 50 feet ahead of them.

"AZU, WAIT UP!!" They shouted and ran to catch up.

I left to the changing room and walked to the stalls to change. After changing, I grabbed my latest racket. Ryoma and Momoshiro walked in.
"You're late." They groaned.
"Buchou gave us 20 laps around the courts."
"You deserved it," I smirked. They mumbled about me being an unfair sempai/cousin. I walked out and to the courts.
"NYA! AZU-CHAN, COME JOIN ME FOR PRACTICE!!"
"Hai, hai. Ohayo Fuji-kun."
"Ohayo, Echizen-san." I looked at him and he stared back. Our staring contest was again broken off.
'He's either onto my true identity or thinking about taking that nature picture for photography class we have.'
'Saa... I wonder what kind of scenery I should take today for Photography class. Hm...'
"Regulars. Gather up!" I walked to Ryuzaki-sensei and stood by her side.
"We have a new regular joining our team. Welcome Echizen Azu-kun."
They all said their greetings and congrats.
"Now, 20 laps around the court. Last person to finish will-"
"-Will drink my new Inui Super Deluxe Juice 4.0 version." Inui finished for Tezuka, his glasses had an eerie glare. Everyone but me shivered.
"NYA! IT'S THAT HORRIBLE DRINK. I WON'T EVER DRINK THAT!"
"Pshuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
"I can't drink that, I can't."
"Mada mada da ne."
"Saa, I wonder how it tastes this time, Inui-san."
Everyone, except Tezuka, Inui, and me, looked at Fuji as if he had another head.
I stared questionably. "What's wrong with that juice? It's all vegetables and fruits..."
"NYA! DON'T DRINK IT!!" Eiji interrupted.
I shrugged and everyone (regulars and non-regulars) went to the line.
"You may begin!" Inui said as he clicked the timer.
Everyone blasted off. O.O 'Is it that bad?' I ran off, catching up to Fuji.
"Fuji-san, why's everyone afraid of the drink?"
"Saa, it's good." He gave a sadistic smile. 'Ooh, I like this.'
"Eheheh..." I looked at Ryoma evilly.
"A-Azu..."
"Echizen, what's wrong?"
"Look at Azu." They all turned to me and only saw my blank face. 'Try harder than that kiddo.' I sneaked a smirked at Ryoma, and he widened his eyes. He then ran off faster leaving Momoshiro.
"OI ECHIZEN! What's wrong with him?"
"Ehehe...saatte...prepare to lose mina-san."
"Huh?"
They all looked at me but only seen my dust flying.
"WHAAA!?"
They all looked ahead and saw me grab Ryoma and flung him onto my back taking off faster.
'AH I DON'T WANT TO DRINK THAT JUICE!'
'I can't drink that, I can't.'
'Pshuuu, I must catch up!'
'I will not allow this to happen,' he thought as he glared at Azu.

-20 minutes later-

Everyone panted but me, Ryoma, Tezuka, and Fuji. "NYA! WE MADE IT AT THE SAME TIME!" Tezuka somehow kept pace with me but unfortunately not everyone else. Non-regulars already suffered the outcome.
"Thank you for your service. Enjoy!"
"I-I-Inui, I d-don't have t-t-o dr-drink that r-right?" Inui got into Eiji's face and smiled evilly.
"Here and enjoy!" Eiji drank the juice first. silence for about 10 seconds.
"NYAAAAA, MIZU, MIZU!!" He ran off to the fountain but never made it. Out-cold. Everyone else stiffen and had the same outcome but Fuji.
"Oh! This is really delicious. I recommend it." He smiled.
"Is it really good?"
"Saa, why don't you try it Azu-san?"
"Hmm...and who gave u permission to call me by my first name?" He smiled innocently.

"Azu, don't." I turned to Ryoma.
"Why not?"

"Don't worry kiddo, I'm thirsty anyways."
By this time, everyone had recovered and stared wide-eyed as I took the cup from Inui. 'H-HE'S CRAZY!' they all thought.
Fuji stared patiently, waiting for the next victim.
I put the cup and took a sip then chugged it all down.

Silent and still.

"D-d-daijoubu-ka, Azu-kun?"
"Oh, gomen. Just wondering about what kind of ingredients he put in. Hm, a bit of lettuce, tomato juice, celery, strawberries, blueberries, paprica, avacado, and a pinch of salt." Inui stared at me surprised.
"H-how did you know?"
"Hm...I made some of this before. Though, this flavor is a bit altered...oh well! It's highly good for the body, though, I recommend sugar, not salt."
"Interesting data..." He scribbled furiously in his notebook. I sweat-dropped at his antics.

-After practice and the juice incident-

"Ah, I hate going to class. Ne, Tezuka."
"Hn." He took a glance at me.
"How long will the charade go on until you finally say you know me?" I took a good look at his face. Stoic as ever.
"Not now."
"Alright. But soon, right?"
"Hn."

We walked into class, and I stumbled upon...

CLIFFHANGER!
