Seatmates Chapter 5

Tricked

I don't own PoT, like I've stated before

It was lunch time, it was completely peaceful... For now. Niou Masaharu, resident Rikkaidai Trickster, laid on the roof of the school, completely bored out of his mind. He could always bother Yagyuu, but he's been doing that too often. Let's see? Akaya? Nah. Niou bothered him too much as well, he'll bother him in like a week. Marui? Eh. Surrounded by his fan girls right now, he's already getting enough torture as is... And then he's gonna get some more torture by Niou during practice. Sanada's no fun, neither is Jackal. Yukimura's gonna infect him with yips, so that's already a no-no. Then an evil grin started to grow on his face. Sanada-fukubuchou's classmate, huh? This'll be great.

Sanada could feel something amiss in his stomach during lunch. Was the teriyaki bad? No. He made sure he checked all of the experiation dates of the food in the house, maybe it was uneasiness... But from what?

"Sanada-san, Yukimura-san needs to talk to you about something in his class, could you go over there for a second?" A classmate called out to Sanada, catching Sanada's and Fujikawa's attention. Sanada nodded... But the uneasiness wouldn't go away. Why on earth would Yukimura need him at this hour, but still... Sanada had to go. He couldn't keep Yukimura waiting.

"I will see you later in class, Fujikawa," Sanada stated, and left the class. After a few moments Sanada left, Fujikawa huffed. I never noticed how lonely it was without Sanada by my side. It's weird. Like I'm missing something.

"Fujikawa," A relatives deep voice called out, making Fujikawa scrunch her eyebrows. That was fast. Fujikawa looked up, and saw Sanada walk towards her.

"Oh. That was fast," Fujikawa stated. "What did you talk about with Yukimura-san?"

"It's none of your business, Fujikawa," He dismisses. Fujikawa nods. "May I speak with you on the roof?"

Fujikawa gives a incredibly confused look to Sanada... Or what seems like Sanada. Sanada wouldn't dismiss her question, unless he was in a bad mode, but he seemed much more engaged in their one sided conversations, meaning that he was in a good mood. Maybe he got stressed by Yukimura? But then why? Yukimura wouldn't stress out his best friend, and he didn't seem like the type to ask for help, despite his frail looking features.

"What is it?" Sanada questions. Fujikawa grins, and scratches her head.

"Ah. I was thinking about the lunch you had today. It was really good," Fujikawa lies, Sanada could tell if she was lying or not. He always knew, but this Sanada nodded agreeing with her, not lecturing her (how shocking). Sanada then left the classroom, and then Fujikawa reluctantly followed this new Sanada.

Both of them were on the roof, Sanada staring intensely at Fujikawa, while she stared back at him with a confused look. Everything was silent, until Fujikawa stated.

"Hey, Sanada."

He grunts, the same sounding Sanada grunt, but it feels different.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"You seem different. Like you're not Sanada, but you look like him," Fujikawa states, narrowing her eyes at Sanada. Suddenly, Sanada smirked.

"Puri~" He responds, but his deep voice was replaced by someone else. The figure took off the mask and the wig, in order to reveal that weird guy with silver hair and a rattail from two days ago from Sanada's tennis team. Fujikawa's eyes widened.

"Ah!" She exclaimed. He smirked. "You're that weird guy!"

His smirk was immediately wiped off his face, replaced by mock hurt, "Is that any way to talk to someone you just met?"

"Well… You were weird," Fujikawa shrugged. What was this guy's name again? Niro? Kuro? His face transformed from mock hurt to slight interest.

"But… It's not often that someone could see through my disguise," The silver haired teen suddenly states, taking steps closer to Fujikawa, who stepped back in response to his action. "Just who are you to Sanada?"

"Seatmates," Fujikawa answers.

"Not a girlfriend? A friend?" He tests for any general reaction from Fujikawa. She demonstrates none, but surprise once she reaches the fence surrounding the border of the Rikkaidai roof. The boy leans his face closer to hers, looking for any reaction at all. Fujikawa has an immediate confused (and slightly grossed out) reaction.

"Um… No?" It sounds like a question coming out of her mouth because of this situation. "I mean, I think we're friends. At least, he implied that we were friends, so…" He's grinning. Why is he grinning. Get this man away from me.

"NIOU MASAHARU!" A voice screamed, nearly ripping the door to the roof open, and there he was. Sanada looking extremely pissed off (and looking for a specific trickster to slap), saw the immediate, compromising situation between his classmate and his team mate. Niou looked at him, and smirked.

"Yo, Sanada-chan," Niou greeted, almost not being fazed at all, and gestured between him and Fujikawa. "You're interrupting the moment. I was about to kiss your cute classmate." (Fujikawa visibly turned white)

"Go back to your class, Niou!" Sanada ignored his previous comment. Niou leaned away from Fujikawa, grinning in victory of the reaction he obtain from the vice-captain, and walked away. "I shall deal with you accordingly during practice for harassment and tricking me and Yukimura."

"Yeah, yeah," Niou dismissed with his hand, but flashed a smirk at Fujikawa, and winked. "I'll see ya around, cutie."

Fujikawa blinked, and stared owlishly at the trickster who walked away. Sanada looked at her, bowed, and said, "I apologize for my team mate's behavior, Fujikawa. If he harassed you in any way, shape, or form, I shall plan his punishment, and proceed to discipline him more at my club."

Fujikawa let out a breath she'd been holding, and responded, "Uh. Do whatever you want to do, Sanada, but who was he?"

Sanada stood up straight, and answered, "That man is Niou Masaharu. He's a regular at the tennis club, but he can disguise himself as anyone. He has earned the nickname 'The Trickster' at our school, but he's incredibly childish, and undisciplined. Hopefully, I can fix that by today."

The bell rung, and both began to walk downstairs. Fujikawa sighed, and Sanada looked at her. "What is it?"

"Nothing. I'm glad that you're here, Sanada. The other guy was way too weird," Fujikawa answered, looking up, and flashing a smile towards Sanada, who turned his gaze away, and nodded.

During the time Sanada went to talk to Yukimura

"Ah, Genichirou, do you need anything?" Yukimura questioned from his seat in his classroom. Sanada narrowed his eyes, his suspicions almost correct.

"I thought you wanted to speak to me, Seiichi?" Sanada responded. Yukimura shook his head, slowly realizing what was going on, a small smile about to play upon his lips.

"I don't to speak to you as of now," Yukimura stated. A few moments of silence passed, before Sanada's eyes narrowed even more. "I think you've been tricked, Genichirou."

Sanada unconsciously began to roll up his sleeves, "I shall see you at practice, Seiichi. I have something to take care of."

"Don't be too rough with him, we need him alive for the Nationals," Yukimura stated, while Sanada nodded, and left.

Sanada arrived at his class a few moments later, seeing that his (friend) classmate was not at her usual spot, which was usually next to his desk. His eyes narrowed, and his whole body language screamed 'murder', but he has to retain his calm, be strong, mentally fortified. Sure Niou kidnapped his friend. He could also be doing unspeakable things to her. He gritted his teeth. He was so gonna give Niou 100 laps at practice. Sanada walked up to his classmate, who tensed when Sanada stared at him intensely (and angrily).

"S-S-Sanada-san, do you need anything!?" His classmate nearly screamed.

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but where is Fujikawa?" Sanada questioned, trying to stay calm (and not scare his classmate). His classmate looked confused, and scratched his head, as well as his friend.

"Didn't you want to talk to her on the roof?" His classmate asked. Sanada narrowed his eyes even more, making his classmate tense even more.

"Thank you," Sanada merely stated, eyes narrowing, and walking (stomping) upstairs, every student moving out of his way, scared of the wrath of Sanada Genichirou.

Man it was so fun writing an almost jealous (and concerned) Sanada. Hopefully, it didn't seem too OOC. Anyways, I liked portraying Sanada-chan as a knight in shining to Fujikawa. It was great. And hopefully Niou was in character as well.

Thanks for reading and...
