Glass 4: Yanagi's Meeting
Yanagi looked up from the book he was reading as he heard a bell chime. The new occupant of the café was Inui.
"What's up, Doc?" Yanagi asked cheerfully. He laughed as Inui tripped over air and almost dropped the bottle he was holding.
"Renji I thought I asked you not to call me that… It ruins my concentration." Inui mumbled as he adjusted his glasses.
"You need to concentrate when you walk?" Yanagi asked slyly. Inui glared at him. "Ah, sorry, I couldn't help it."
"Ano, what would you like to order?" the waitress asked as she walked towards their table.
Inui ordered a cup of coffee, while Yanagi ordered a cup of green tea. Yanagi continued to read his book and Inui got out his notebook, as they waited for their orders to appear. The waitress came back eventually and gave them their coffee and tea. Inui sipped his coffee patiently, as if waiting for something.
"So, Sadaharu, what did you call me here for?" Yanagi inquired. The Nationals tournament had recently ended, but Rikkaidai had decided to stay a few more days to hangout around Tokyo.
"I've got a favor to ask of you, Renji. Could you get your teammates to try this drink?" Inui asked as he held up the bottle. Inside was a bubbling, green juice that sent chills down some people's spines. Yanagi stared at the drink for a few seconds.
"I don't know… My teammates don't mind too much if Niou plays pranks or if Sanada slaps one of them as long as the reason makes sense, but I don't think they'll like it if I gave them a drink that knocked them out…" Yanagi replied.
"Don't worry. This one is only Inui juice. You should see the others I've prepared… I've also asked Fuji to bring over another of my drinks that I somehow left at his house." Inui chuckled.
Yanagi sighed. It looked as if Inui was going into sadistic mode. Once that happened there was very little chance of deterring him, without some sort of bodily harm towards you or whomever you hired to stop him.
For a few minutes, silence ensued in which Yanagi wondered how he'd become friends with such a strange person, and Inui wondered whether Fuji had managed to get lost on the way here or was purposely taking a long time to arrive at the café.
The bell chimed again and Fuji entered the café.
"Saa, sorry I'm late. Kikumaru called be at home as I was looking for the Aozu, and I couldn't get him to stop talking. Oh? Hello Yanagi-san." Fuji said cheerfully.
"It's fine, Fuji. So Renji are you up for it?" Inui asked.
"Will they get to pick which one they want to try?" Yanagi countered.
"There's enough juice in each bottle for five servings if you pour the right amount. So yes, five people will get to pick which drink they want. Please tell me the results as well as who drinks what." Inui replied.
"I see. That shouldn't be too bad… I guess there are no other options. I'll give them the juice." Yanagi sighed.
Inui grinned sadistically, while Fuji who was listening gave Yanagi an 'I feel sorry for you' look.
The next day, Rikkaidai started their return trip.
"Ne, Yanagi-senpai, what's in that cooler?" Kirihara asked.
"You'll find out the next time we have practice." Yanagi sighed.
Yagyuu, who was in contact with Oshitari, paled.
"Please don't be what I think it is…" He muttered.
Knuckle Serve! ナックルサープ (They say the same thing…)
Sorry, I'm not very good at typing multiple fanfics 'cause I'm lazy and don't type very fast. I'll have the next chapter up eventually. I should have a fanfic for Oshitari's birthday up soon (by tomorrow at the latest). Thus begins the Rikkaidai arc… Tell me what you think?
