"See, THEY'RE going to the zoo!" Kirihara argued.

"Only because Jirou wanted to go." Mukahi said.

"Well still, at least you guys are nice enough to go along with it!" Kirihara said, glaring accusingly at his senpai-tachi. Seriously, zoos don't smell that bad and Kirihara really wanted to see the animals.

"If we didn't, Atobe would've skinned us all." Shishido snorted.

"Ore-sama will not dirty his hands in skinning you, I will order my servants to."

"That doesn't help in the least!" Mukahi shouted, safely across the bridge.

Marui wondered how that boy, Jirou was it? Could sleep through all this ruckus on the giant's back.

"Marui-senpai!"

"What?"

"Cut me some slack will ya? Lemme go to the zoo!"

"We're not going to the zoo, Akaya, and that's final."

"WHY NOT?" Kirihara demanded.

"Because they smell!" Niou snapped.

"Can we go now?" Shishido asked, "I want to get this over with."

"…"

"Can I go to the zoo with you?" Kirihara begged of Hyoutei.

"Urm…don't they have to baby-sit you?" Ohtori asked.

"Well, I'm boredddd, I wish Jackal-senpai were here instead. He'd let me go to the zoo!"

"I'm not Jackal!" Marui snapped.

"You can pretend to be…"

"We're not playing pretend again," Marui stated.

"But Yukimura-buchou said it was funn!!!"

"Do I LOOK like Yukimura?"

"Niou did, once…with the wig…remember?" Kirihara looked hopefully at Niou.

"Well I'm not doing it again!" Niou snapped, "My legs are still sore from the laps Sanada assigned me." Marui sniggered at the memory of Niou running around in a blue wig and Sanada's face when he found out his beloved Yukimura was actually Niou in disguise. Of course Yukimura had found it extremely amusing, but…Sanada just couldn't take a joke, even Marui admitted that 2000 laps were a bit severe, luckily, Yukimura said 1000 was enough.

"Atobe-buchou, can we please go?" Hiyoshi asked.

"Yes."

"Lemme go with you!!!"

"…not unless your senpai-tachi will too, we're under no obligation to baby-sit you." Atobe said.

"And we're not going." Niou glared at his kouhai.

"Demo, Yukimura-buchou said you guys had to do whatever I wanted to do!"

"And Sanada fukubuchou said not to spoil you." Marui wagged a finger at Kirihara.

"Who cares? You never listen to fukubuchou anyways…" Kirihara pouted.

"Hey, who said?" Niou got defensive, a look that was almost genuine…ALMOST.

"Hello?? Are you guys going or not?" Mukahi demanded.

"I'm going!!!" Kirihara ran towards the Hyoutei team.

"What did I do to deserve this…?" Atobe mumbled rubbing his temples.

And at that perfect moment, Jirou decided to wake up…

Rubbing his eyes and jumping off Kabaji into Atobe, he looked around and took in his surroundings. After a couple of yawns; he opened his mouth and screamed, "SUGEEE! It's Marui-san!"

"Hey look, your fanboy's here." Niou teased.

"…so you're Jirou right?" Marui asked.

"YEAH!" Jirou grinned, "Sugee! You remember me!"

"Jirou, I thought you wanted to go to the zoo?" Oshitari asked.

"SUGOI, the zoo!!!"

"Jirou, please calm down…" Atobe patted his boyfriend's head.

The Hyoutei boys proceeded to the zoo, totally ignoring the arguments of the three Rikkaidai players. Upon reaching the zoo, they saw a familiar sight.

"Kirihara-san? What're you doing here? Weren't you with your senpai-tachi a minute ago?" Ohtori was the first one to ask. Did he teleport?

"Oh well, I ditched them. They were being annoying, I don't need a babysitter!" The junior devil shrugged, gazing at the llama.

"You'd never know he defeated so many of his senpai-tachi." Shishido mumbled shaking his head at the little devil of a tennis player.

"Looks can be deceiving, ne Kabaji?" Atobe smirked, leaning against the railing.

"Usu."

"Here llamaaaaa!" Kirihara was saying, holding out a piece of grass.

"Do llamas eat grass?" Mukahi asked his partner.

Oshitari shrugged, preoccupied with the mountain goat, "Not sure."

"Can I feed the goat? Can I, can I, can I?" Jirou begged.

"I don't see why not, go buy yourself some feed." Atobe handed Jirou 100 yen.

"Hey! That's too much for feed, it's like not even 50 yen!" Mukahi argued.

"Are you challenging ore-sama, ahhh?" Atobe assumed the voice of authority yet again.

Mukahi rolled his eyes, "Nope."

Atobe ignored the roll of the eyes and contented himself in watching Jirou feed the goat.

"KIRIHARA AKAYA, YOU BRAT!" Marui screamed, running down the hill towards the zoo, crashing first into Ohtori and making him crash into Shishido.

"Owwww…." Ohtori promptly got up and helped his senpai up.

"Whaaaat?" Kirihara dropped the grass and gave Marui an innocent look.

"Don't gave me that look! Why the hell did you run away?"

"I didn't run away! I wanted to look at the llama!"

"Oh yeah and I'm the captain of Rikkaidai." Niou snorted coming behind Marui grinning.

"Demo, I thought Yukimura was the captain…" Kirihara pouted, "does this mean you can assign laps?"

"Akaya, you are so dense!" Marui smacked Kirihara on the head, popping his bubblegum.

Kirihara rubbed his head and blinked a couple of times, "So Niou-senpai isn't buchou?"

"Bun-kun, did you just kill the few brain cells that the brat has?" Niou asked his team-mate.

"It's not like he uses them." Marui shrugged and went to look at the mountain goat, ignoring the random 'sugees' of Jirou.

"Having fun, Bun-kun?" Niou placed a hand on Marui's shoulder.

Marui shrugged him off and stole some feed off Jirou, "Go away."

"Oh this is just great." Shishido smacked his forehead in the palm of his hand. "The worse thing that can happen now is some other random schools showing up."

And Shishido just cursed it, good job Shishido, the rest of the group glared at Shishido as they heard a familiar, bone-chilling laugh. "Nfuuuu." Well maybe not so familiar, but bone-chilling nonetheless, and they shuddered in horror at the hideous shirt the boy was wearing.

"Nfuuu, what do we have here?" The boy in question, who is commonly known as Mizuki Hajime, walked towards the group of elite tennis players, surveying each and every one of them with a hungry expression. "Hyoutei…and three of Rikkaidai?"

"Who are you again? And why do you know us?" Shishido asked.

"I am Mizuki Hajime, of St. Rudolph." The boy garbed in purple declared.

"Oh yeah…I heard about you." Mukahi pointed at him, "you're the guy that keeps on looking for tennis players to join Rudolph."

"And you must be the elite Mukahi Gakuto, the best acrobatic player in the Kantou region." Mizuki toyed with his bangs, "You should come join St. Rudolph, Hyoutei is doing nothing to bring out your potential."

"Sorry but I only play doubles…with Yuushi," Mukahi turned away then added, "In SEEDED schools."

"Oh…" Mizuki looked disappointed but quickly turned to Niou. "Ah the trickster…"

"What about it?" Niou glared at Mizuki.

"Mizuki was it?" Atobe decided to intervene, "You can't be expected a member of Rikkaidai to join a school such as St. Rudolph."

"Nfuu…that's a shame," Mizuki walked away, "now, Hyoutei, that's a different story, how about that boy over there feeding the goats? Jirou-kun? Come to St. Rudolph and we'll aim for the nationals!"

"But I'm staying with Kei-chan!!" Jirou pouted, looking up from a conversation he was having with Marui, although it wasn't much of a conversation with Jirou's squeals and Marui feeding the goats.

"Kei-chan…?" Niou snickered as Atobe banged his forehead against his hand.

"Seems like there's some romances going on in Hyoutei, ne?" Mizuki twirled his hair.

"By the way, what ARE you doing here?" Kirihara asked Mizuki suspiciously.

"Well I was here with Yuuta, but I seem to have lost him." Mizuki looked around, shrugging.

"Well keep looking, there's nobody stopping you." Hiyoshi urged.

"Nfuuu…" Mizuki looked up the hill, "There he is."

"Mizuki-san!" Fuji Yuuta called, running down the hill, clutching two cans of Ponta. (I know I use the surnames but just so this doesn't get confusing, I'm going to use Yuuta's first name)

"Ahh, Yuuta!" Mizuki turned to Yuuta, "Where did you go?"

"You told me to get you some Ponta but when I came back you were gone!"

"Did I now? Nfuuu…"

"Okay you should really stop laughing like that!" Shishido snapped.

"Nfuuu, what do you mean?" The boy twisted his bangs yet again.

"…" walk away… The Hyoutei team and the three Rikkaidai members ran away from the pair. Well, actually Hiyoshi, Shishido, Mukahi, Marui and Kirihara did the running. Atobe strolled calmly, not allowing the freaky St. Rudolph manager to ruin his image, Oshitari strolled beside Atobe, calm, cool and collected as ever. Ohtori gave Yuuta an apologetic look before following Atobe away, Niou walked casually away from the manager and Jirou was dragged along by Kabaji who was following Atobe.

By some sort of miracle, they didn't get spilt up and when they stopped walking/running/strolling/following, everyone was still there.

"Why are you three still HERE?" Mukahi asked.

"Well we kinda just followed you guys." Marui shrugged. "We'll be on our way now."

"Come on, brat, you've had your fun." Niou dragged his kouhai away, "let's go bug Sanada till he cries."

The members of Hyoutei exchanged glances, somehow nobody could imagine the stoic, reserved Sanada… crying. But Niou had said it so casually that it seemed that he cried often… wow, Rikkaidai must be really bad. Atobe wondered if he should lend Sanada his specially made aspirin.

"Well then…"

"Ne, Kei-chan?" Jirou asked, pointing towards the structure near them, "Why is there a church in the middle of the park?"

"It's because this was once a missionary school but when the school closed, they got more land and made it into the park, this is the last remaining structure of the missionary." Mukahi said.

"Wow, Muka-kun! Sugee!!" The blonde boy jumped around. (Jirou is going to be blonde cuz it suits him more)

"Where did you get that info, ahhh?" Atobe asked.

"I read it off here." Mukahi pointed towards a tablet on the side of the church with the words inscribed on it.

"Should've known." Shishido rolled his eyes.

"HEY! At least I found it!"

"So you found a note beside a church, good job."

"Oh like you can do any better!"

"You read a tablet, it's not like you accomplished anything."

Here we go again…


Ica is making me put this here: Bun-kun is just a nickname for Marui, it does not imply Maruharu because everyone will call him that, and it reminds me of Bun from Confidential Confessions. Not sure why I think that because Bun is the stalker…oh well. He was hawt. –is shutting up-


A/N: Anti has decided on yet another chappie, the next one will have the squirrels and stuff… Yeah, ahem, this is kinda getting long but oh well… be happy…
