Chapter 7

Rushed foorsteps.

Screams, shrill cries and what sounded like a herd of elephants storming around.

A click of a door being unlocked could barely be heard before the said door was opened and than softly closed the lock sliding into place again.

Relieved sighs echoed around the room as nine young men sat on the bench in the clubhouse. All looked mildly relieved to be away from the mass of screaming fan girls. Fuji wrapped an arm around Ryoma who tugged his cap lower to cover his eyes sinking into the tensai's arms. Eiji held tightly to Oishi who patted the acrobats back. Taka and Inui were both holding their respective lovers hands. Tezuka leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

Each of the regulars were kicking themselves, with everything happening lately, from tennis tournaments, practice matches and an upcoming training camp, they had all forgot what today marked.

St Valentine's day.

A knock on the door made the team tense up in apprehension, wondering who was knocking on the door.

"It's only me." a soft voice flowed through the wooden surface and drifted towards their ears causing the regulars to relax.

Ryoma extracted himself from his lovers embrace and headed towards the door, noticing the way his buchou's eyes had softened a little. He inwardly grinned, 'Mada mada dane, buchou.' Reaching the door, boy wonder unlocked the said door and opened it a bit to allow the younger female to enter the room.

Higurashi Kagome was a new student here in Seishun Gakuen being a transfer student from America. And coincidentally she and Ryoma were best friends. After Ryoma left, Kagome remained in America for several months before she started missing her best friend and after speaking with her family she moved to Japan where she was staying with the Taishou's, who were an old friend of both the Higurashi's and the Echizen'a. The fathers having been childhood rivals/friends growing up and in school, it was only natural that the kids were close as well.

"Hoi! Hoi! Nyanko-chan, nya" cried out Eiji as he leaped towards the smaller girl and pulled her into a bear hug as Ryoma closed the door, sliding the lock back into place and walked back towards the bench and to Fuji, who quickly pulled the boy back onto his lap.

"I saw the mob of girls running past so I knew they must have been hounding you. I came to see if you were all alright." she called with a smile motioning for Eiji to let and when he did she sat her bag gently on the ground and began rummaging through the contents. "I have something for you as well."

Standing back up, the regulars saw that Kagome was holding a black bag in her hands

"Nya, what do you have, Kag-chan?" asked Eiji tilting his head adorably.

"It's my valentine's gift to you. I made them myself so I hope you all like them." she replied opening the bag and handing out some chocolate wrapped boxes to Eiji, Oishi, Inui, Taka, Momoshiro and Kaido.

"Wow, thanks Kagome." they whispered opening their gifts. Grabbing a piece of chocolate that was in the box, they took a bite out of it and gaped.

"I hope this fits that eccentric taste buds of yours Syu-chan." Kagome grinned handing Fuji the wrap box.

Fuji smiled and nodded his head, "Thanks Kagome-chan" he called carefully unwrapping the box and opening it, he took out a piece of the seemingly normal chocolate and placed it in his mouth. His eyes snapped open and widened in shocked surprise when flurry of taste invaded his taste buds and hummed in appreciation, closing his eyes in bliss. "Wasabi filled chocolates, interesting."

Ryoma wanted to groan. And again he found himself asking why he liked such a weird guy.

"And for my best friend, here you are Ryo-chan."

Giving the smaller girl a smile, the prince of tennis nodded his head, "Domo, Kagome-chan." he whispered opening the box and taking a bite out of his chocolates and nearly moaned when he sweet taste of Strawberry and chocolates filled his mouth.

Fuji, adapt at reading his lovers expression, knew that whatever Kagome had filled Ryoma's chocolates with, pleased the boy. Leaning forward, Fuji bit the chocolate and hummed, "Strawberries. You like strawberries, Ryo-chan?"

Ryoma blushed and shifted.

Kagome smiled, "I am proud to say, I was the one who got him addicted to the sweet fruit."

Tugging at his cap and ignoring the snickers coming from Eiji and Momo or the scribbling noise he heard from Inui's direction, Ryoma turned his attention back towards his best friend and the captain, wondering what she got for the stoic male she currnetly had a crush on.

"Here, Tezuka-kun, these are for you." she called handing him the wrapped box.

Taking the box tentatively, Tezuka bowed his head, "Arigato gozaimasu, Kagome-chan." he whispered opening the box.

The other regulars gathered closer to gauge Tezuka's expression upon eating the chocolates. They wondered if she put anything special inside it. Ryoma, Kagome and Eiji, who was hanging off Oishi, stared at the captain, their cat-like eyes enabling them to see every emotion that may pass through his eyes.

Tezuka did not care much for chocolates but since these chocolates were given to him by someone he secretly adorned he didn't want to offened her by not accepting something that she had spent so much time in preparing for him. Closing his eyes, Tezuka placed one of the candy into his mouth and was pleasurably surprised by the flavors that was attacking his taste buds.

The group was waiting with baited breath.

"How was it Tezuka?" asked Oishi

Tezuka nodded his head, eyes opening, "Aa. It is good."

Kagome smiled and turned to look at everyone, "So you all like it?"

Loud agreements met her question, by Momo and Eiji who both leaped to hug the smaller girl, thanking her repeatedly.

Tezuka covered his box of treats and stuck it into his bag before standing up. "I don't hear any more fan girls, so we should make a run for the gates now or we will be stuck in here for a while longer."

Nodding her head, Kagome told them she would take a peek to see if any of the fan girls were in sight. Grateful smiles and thankful nods met her statement as the small girl approached the door and opened it a bit, taking a peek outside and not seeing anyone she told them that it was clear.

Grabbing their bags, the boys took off, Ryoma made sure to grab a hold of his best friend as he passed her. He did not want her to be left behind. But before they reached the gates a gang of girls and several males who had been looking for Kagome had spotted them and took off after them yelling their names.

Seeing them the group took off in opposite directions. Ryoma, Kagome, Tezuka, Fuji turned left along with Oishi and Eiji. Inui, Kaidoh, Taka and Momo wen right. And did whatever it took to loose their followers. Thirty minutes found the gang meeting up again in front of Kawamura's sushi, where they rushed inside and collapsed in the chairs.

Kawamura Sr. looked up when he heard them entered and frowned a bit in worry. The boys looked like they had been chased by demons and had only barely been able to escape their claws. "What's going on? Are you boys alright?"

"Fangirls. Chased us. A lot of running." panted Eiji as he leaned against Oishi.

Feeling sorry for the kids, Kawamura told his son to lock the door and flip the sign. He was going to close the shop early so the kids could hide out in here. "How I make everyone some sushi."

Eiji and Momoshiro cheered at the prospects of eating.

~..~..~

Bowing their heads to Kawamura, the teens thanked him for allowing them to hide out in the restaurant for the whole day.

Kawamura Sr. shook his head and waved his arms, "It's no problem, beside, if the restaurant remained open the girls (and boys) could have come inside and bothered you and than you would have no where else to go."

Nodding their heads and bowing again the tennis regulars and Kagome walked out of the sushi restaurant. It was late, maybe about six in the evening.

"Hey Tezuka, can you walk Kagome-chan home. Usually Ryo-chan and I would accompany her, but I want to show Ryoma-chan something before I take him home for the night." Fuji gave a smile.

Tezuka wondered what the tensai was planning but agreed nontheless with a nod of his head. "Aa" he replied turning his head just in time to witness Ryoma and Kagome hugging each other good night.

"I'll call you later to make sure you got home safely." he whispered glancing at his captain who frowned at his words, causing a small smirk to come to his lips.

"Echizen." started Tezuka

"Maa...Maa...Tezuka, leave my Ryo-chan alone." Fuji called wrapping an arm around his lover and pulling the boy towards himself.

Kagome smiled and shook her head and looked over at the silent and stern faced buchou. "Shall we go Tezuka-kun?"

"Aa" Tezuka nodded and the two departed from the group with a wave to the rest of the team.

The walk towards the Taishou manor was silent.

Glancing towards the stoic male beside her, Kagome wondered if she should talk to him, tell him how she felt for him. Anything. Spotting the manor coming up, Kagome stopped and faced Tezuka, making up her mind, she will tell him even if he didn't feel the same way for her that she did for him, it would be good to get one's feelings out in the open so the person would know where they stood.

"Tezuka-kun" she whispered causing the said male to pause in his steps and look at her in confusion.

"..." Tezuka stared at her letting her know he was listening.

"Um, I know you are probably tired of hearing this since it's Valentines day and you've been getting love confession everywhere you turned but..." Kagome trailed off "But, i really like you as well. And I was just wondering..." Kagome never got to finish her sentence as fingers grasped her chin and guided her face to look up.

Blue-silver catlike eyes met hazlenut brown ones.

"I like you as well, Kagome-chan." he whispered placing a chaste kiss on her lips. "It's getting late though, you better get inside."

Kagome smiled and hugged the older boy before running towards the gates, which swung open by the guards who was posted nearby, Turning Kagome waved. "Happy Valentines Day, Mitsu-kun." she called out before running towards the house.

"Happy Valentines Day, Kagome-chan." he whispered continuing to walk down the sidewalk heading towards the bus station.

Hidden behind a building, the rest of the Seigaku regulars snickered a bit. "Cute."

A bit rushed, sorry. I hope you liked it anyways.
