The rest of the night had been filled with more bangs to the head for Kaidoh. One hit from a startled grandmother at finding him sprawled over her couch and another from when he had arrived at home, courtesy of his mother.
"And you are going to pay for the groceries you cost Sakuno-san! Am I clear?" his mother scolded. "Yes Okaa-san" he said, trying to sound as sincere and apologetic as possible while not being able to feel half his face. He heard his brother sniggering in the back round.
"Up to your room now!" he took the steps two at a time, making it to his bedroom in record time. Well. Their bedroom. He had, since the age of two, shared a room with his brother. He didn't mind it but at times like these 'he did mind it.
"Ni-san got in trouble!" a giddy voice exclaimed. His brother entered the room.
He shot a glare at him.
He and his brother in terms of looks were carbon copies but their personalities were far from similar. He was blunt, stubborn with a short fuse. And his hobby was tennis. His brother was sarcastic, hyper with a mischievous streak. His hobby was annoying Kaidoh.
"I never knew you liked ryuzaki. I could set you up if you want!" Kaidoh nearly choked on his spit." We are in the same grade, I could pull a few strings and you and ryu-""I do not need dating advice!" "But your last date went so well!" Kaidoh shuddered at the memory of THAT. His brother was no matchmaker. He would rather drink a jug of Inui juice special strong hyper energy juice then go through that again. "Quite up there!" there mother shouted from below, still obviously fuming.

Kaidoh walked through the gates of Seigaku with a new out look on life. To never ever anger his mother in any way, shape or form again. Most mothers would have cooled down by the morning after considering that no one had really gotten hurt, apart from Kaidoh. But she had always had a soft spot for the Ryuzaki's ever since the grand daughter had given his brother a valentines day card in grade three because he had not gotten a single one. His mother had always appreciated politeness, after growing up with six brothers.
And so he walked through the paths leading to the tennis courts and paused as he was about to open the door. Was that Horio and why was he calling out yen? Was there an auction?
As Kaidoh walked into the locker room there was a mad rush. The fresh men for some reason were not so subtly trying to hide Horio's locker from view while the other club members attempted to look as natural as possible while all crammed in the small space left for the freshmen lockers.
He edged past the group to his locker, their eyes following him the whole way as if he had died his hair pink. Breaking the silence that had enveloped the room Eiji, with all the tactfulness of Ryoma promptly shouted" Kaidoh-san! Are you dating Ryuzaki-chan?! I don't want to lose my bet with horio-san!" another mad rush ensued but this one mainly consisted of Inui, Taka and Momoshiro holding back an enraged Kaidoh from a passed out Horio.

Unlike kaidoh, sakuno's day had been a normal one. She had arrived late due to getting lost, passed math's with a C and flunked English. She had been making her way to her and Tomoka's usual spot near the steps when a voice called her."Oi Ryuzaki!" she turned around to see Kaidohs brother jogging towards her holding a bento.
Oh what was his name!? She knew he was Kaidoh-senpai's little brother but apart from that… her mind was blank. "Er, hello Kaidoh-san." She said as she bowed. It wasn't widely known but Mrs. Kaidoh had always encouraged her boys to be cultural, well round individuals so until they had reached junior high they had , had a number of acting and art classes at a local studio.
This was all classified because if word got out the Kaidoh Karou had ounce auditioned for the part of peter pan he would be dead before he could say"Eep!" and it doesn't take long to say "Eep!"
"Hello to you to! Say could you help tutor me in" he paused, looked around as if about disclose the location of the Holy Grail "could you tutor me in cooking? Your grandma says I can't join the under 13 tennis team unless I get my grades up. Pleeeaase?"
Cooking?" that's if your free." Why did he have to have such big watery eyes? They were like Kikumaru-senpai's when he was broke. "Um…" "It's alright I understand ". Oh why did he have to look so down? Like a puppy not getting a pat or a kitten without milk? She was free on Tuesday…
"Sure Kaidoh-san. What do you want help with?" "Well pastries I guess. They keep tasting like soap and just basic stuff." "Well are you free on Tuesday at four? ""Yep! You can come to my house. Thanks so much Ryuzaki-chan" and with a huge grin he sped off.
Sakuno now had a nice warmth running through her at the knowledge of making someone's life just a bit easier. Hang on. Where was his house?

Kaidoh had been calmed down( this was after the threat of Super special energizer 3.7 deluxe addition with a hint of Auzo). But Horio was still out for the count and the larger of the tennis team members still had to keep a close eye on him in case he started getting a bit to close to the spare and, very sharp at places from rust, tennis rackets for Horio's safety.
Kaidoh was still eyeing up a particularly lethal looking specimen (nearly all the strings were broken so it could make a perfect choke…) when they were called out for practice matches." Well, after the…excitement of earlier this morning I think some nice friendly matches will calm your nerves. After all a recent studied showed that calmness in a match can lift one's game by …" Inui continued on this path for a while until they were all partnered ( he had gotten a rather scared looking freshmen) and on the courts. He had been in the first group of matches and unfortunately for that freshmen Kaidoh had imagined he was Horio the whole match. He still had some bruising from Kaidoh's snakes.
Sorry for not updating earlier but my computer didn't work for about a week and then I just got lazy and today I just got back from a holiday so I tried to make it a bit longer than the other's. Just in case you guys are wondering why Sakuno didn't stutter while talking to Kaidoh's brother, it's because she doesn't actually stutter all that much when talking to people in her grade. And also it's hard to type all the stuttering! Any way thanks for reading! And reviews and feedback are really appreciated!
