Chapter 5

It was several days later and Hachiman was still having nightmares of being forced to hang out with Yumiko and her friends. Most of the people in her group were strange in different ways that all annoyed him.

Yumiko wouldn't stop talking and trying to get Hachiman to do things with them, Hayama was so polite and such a "nice guy" it made Hachiman sick to his stomach, Tobe was morning that kept doing stupid things and Ebina was the worst of all… he shutterd as he remembered it.

_Flashback_

At some point while being forced to hang with Yumiko and her friends, Hachiman pretended to need to use the bathroom so he could get away from the others for a few minutes and catch his breath. He was in the bathroom, looking at the mirror after splashing his face with water.

"I think I look pretty pale.. Need to find away out of this" Hachiman said out loud to himself.

He headed to the actually use the bathroom and was glad the arcade they were at had urinals installed to be more modern. But when he was about to unzip his pants he heard a noise that made his stop and look around.

"The hell?.." Hachiman knew there was no one else in the bathroom but him. "Must be from the arcade"

Again he started to unzip his pants but this time he heard what sounded like breathing, making his eyes big and listen to where it was coming from. Glancing around as he quiet tip toed towards the sound, he saw what looked like someone crouched near the doorway.

He made his way over and gave a look of disbelief at seeing Hina Ebina crouching there with a pad of paper with comic panels on it and a pencil in her hands as well as a deep blush on her face accompanying a creepy smile.

"What the hell are you doing, Ebina?" Hachiman asked in a quiet voice.

Ebina was startled though managed not to yell as she jumped up, dropping her paper and pencil . "Uh.. I uh.. Nothing?"

"Bullshit"

"I was just trying to get reference for male anatomy for my awesome boys love comic I'm trying to draw" Ebina stated with a perverted grin and drool.

"You people are insane" Hachiman slapped himself in his forehead. "Dare I ask why me?"

"Because it's story of love between you and Hayama of course" Ebina seemed to be thinking about it, because blood was running out of her nose as she grinned. "It's going to be so hot"

"I can't believe you" Hachiman slumped his shoulders. "Your lucky I don't have you arrested…tear up that comic and this day never happened.. Got it?"

"No way.. This is going to be a masterpiece of a BL comic" Ebina stated with the blood running put of her nose. "Please just show me more of your anotmy to study"

"Good bye" Hachiman walked out, snatching the comic page on his way and crushing it up into a ball. "I'm taking this with me… I suggest you get help before you do get arrested"

After Hachiman walked away, Ebina opened her notepad and looked at other pages she had already done for her comic of Hachiman and Hayama. "At least I have these still"

_End of flashback_

Hachiman shuttered again after remembering again as he prepared to face gym class and found himself once again practicing against a machine that shot out tennis balls for him to hit. He certainly wasn't complaining though, as it was nice to away from the "normies" that plagued the school in droves.

This was the last day he'd be able to play solo though, as the next gym class was going to be playing against others. "Maybe I'll conveniently come down with something on gym days so I can avoid the matches"

Suddenly he felt something poke him and he jumped out of his skin as he looked behind him and found smiling Saika Totsuka standing there. "I got you"

Hachiman notice he was dressed in a guy's uniform again, which meant he probably wasn't a girl.. Something he wasn't convinced of still. The girl's gym uniform was the same except the shorts were higher up and it was usually on the tighter side as most girls clothes tended to be.

Then again, Totsuka had a small frame, porcelain skin and eyes of a girl, but obviously didn't seem to have boobs. "Yukinoshita is rather flat chested though, so not having big boobs isn't necessarily a no to being a girl.. I bet she could cross dress as a boy and assuming she didn't have to speak, she could pull it off"

"Hikigaya-kun?" Totsuka broke his train of thought.

"Oh… what's up?"

"The person I usually practice with isn't here today…could you do it with me?" Totsuka asked with small blush.

"Don't blush when you say that! It adds to the look that you're really a girl!"

"Um.. I prefer practicing alone but…I guess I could join you" Hachiman relented after a moment.

"I was so worried you'd turn me down" Totsuka had look of relieve on his face. "I was really nervous"

"Seriously stop that.. Or people really will think your a girl!"

He'd heard that there were girls at the school that had taken to calling Totsuka a prince and thought of him as cute.

Shaking his head of that train of thought, Hachiman joined Totsuka in tennis practice. He was, as mentioned, pretty good at tennis but Totsuka was far better since he was part of the tennis club.

The two began returning served to one and other, both showing they were fairly skilled at tennis. It seemed to last forever until Totsuka stopped returning the ball, letting go past him. "You're a natural Hikigaya-kun"

"Not really.. I just practiced against the ball shooting machine thing, practiced against wall and played a little against my sister"

"Either way.. Lets take a break"

They sat down on a nearby bench and after too much silence, Totsuka final spoke again. "Um.. Remember how I mentioned our team isn't very good and that next year after the seniors graduate we'll be in an even worse situation?"

"Sort of"

"We're not that great.. Some of the members didn't play before now and it's hard to get motivated.. The only first years that have played before now, are myself and Hayama" Totsuka continued on as Hachiman quietly nodded with a bored expression. "We've also let anyone join so it's not exclusive and combined, it adds up to a bad situation"

It made sense to Hachiman. Unmotivated players… untalented players… and only a few that were actually good.. "Really sucks for them I guess"

"Hikigaya-kun.. Would you consider joining the club?" Totsuka then asked, catching Hachiman off guard.. As he seemed good at doing.

"Wha-huh?" Hachiman made a strange sound from his mouth as he look at Totsuka. "Why?"

"I actually heard from Hayama that were good at tennis and then saw myself during gym class" Totsuka answered. 'Your good and could be even better.. We could use someone like you on the team"

"Sigh...sorry.. Even if I wasn't already stuck in one club against my will.. I'd have to decline"

He didn't even want to be part of the Service club and while he somewhat enjoyed tennis, he wasn't about to get up early for a club filled with people like Hayama… Totsuka was ok, but not Hayama..

"I'll never become one of those "Normies"" Hachiman shuttered at the thought.

Adding to that, Hachiman hated getting up early.. Hated it.. He always slept in on the weekends and days off of school. It was bad enough that he had to get up early on weekdays for school. He wasn't about to get up even earlier for a club.

"Your going to join the tennis club Hikitani?" A voice asked, making both of them look over.

"No.. and that's not my name" Hachiman sighed as Hayama stood in front of them. "Class is over.. So I gotta go...see ya Totsuka"

"Oh ok.. Thanks anyways, Hikigaya-kun"

"I didn't say I wouldn't try to find a way to help you" Hachiman looked back. "No promises though"

Hachiman quickly made his way away from them, hoping they weren't watching him as he made his way to the gym's locker room.

Later that day, Hachiman intended to go to the club room to see about getting help for Totsuka. But he only made it halfway before hands wrapped around his eyes.. For the second time that day.

"Like.. Guess who"

"I'm not doing this again" Hachiman sighed heavily. "What do you want Miura?"

"Your such a sour banana, Hikio"

"I don't think that's how that goes…" Hachiman pushed her hands off of him and her turned around to see Yumiko standing the with her hands on her hips. "Again.. What do you want?"

"I like needed your help on something, Hikio"

Hachiman looked at her wondering what she could possibly want help with.. And from him of all people. He already had stuff to do and really didn't wanna keep getting involved with Yumiko. The problem was that she kept inserting herself into the drama that Hachiman called life and he couldn't seem to get rid of her. "Maybe I should just ignore her and head to the club.. Trade one annoying girl for another"

"You coming this time?"

Hachiman and Yumiko looked and saw the blue haired Saki Kawasaki was standing there with her school bag in hand. She looked at Yumiko and glared hard as if trying to burn a hole through her while Yumiko returned the favor and Hachiman wonder if he could slip away while they had their stare down.

Hachiman's attempt to slip away was halted when Saki grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled him back. "Where are you going?"

"To find Waldo"

"Who?" Yumiko raised an eyebrow at the English phrase. "Wal-a-do?"

"Never mind.. We need to be getting to club" Saki grabbed Hachiman's wrist and began to drag him off, but Yumiko grabbed his other wrist.

"I was talking to Hikio" Yumiko showed off her stubbornness. "He can go to club afterwards.. He doesn't even like that club with it's losers"

"Just like he can listen to you babble on later, blondie" Saki countered puling Hachiman towards her.

Hachiman's eye twitched as he was a latterly rag doll of their game of tug of war and he had gotten less patient since starting senior high school. "I swear if they don't stop…"

'Wanna say that again?!" Yumiko tried to yank Hachiman towards her but that's when he had had enough.

"Enough…" Hachiman exclaimed making both girls let go and widen their eyes. "Miura, whatever it is you want can wait till later.. And don't use me for a game of tug of war"

With that Hachiman headed off, towards the special use building with Saki following soon after.

"Um.. Sorry about.. That" Saki stated, not looking him in the eyes.

Hachiman was quiet for a minute before answering. "..it's fine.. Not like it was just you"

"Still.. I was on her level.. And that's not.. Well.. Good" Saki replied folding her arms as the walked down the hall. "You… mind if I ask you something?"

"Sure.."

"What's with her?.. She gotten more and more.. Clingy…. towards you" Saki looking over to see Hachiman's reaction.

"I wish I knew"

"No.."

"What do you mean no?"

"That should be obvious" Yukinoshita folded her arms as she sat in her usual chair. "You joining to make the others want to compete more and improve is stupid, Hikidummy-kun"

"Are you even capable of working in a group?" Yukinoshita then asked, before Hikigaya could react. "Even if you could work somewhat well with Totsuka-san, what makes you believe you could work with others too?"

Hikigaya thought about it and knew she wasn't exactly wrong. He didn't like working with others and would probably quit pretty quickly.

"Even if they banded together with the common goal of riding the team of you and proving they are better then you, they wouldn't actually get better as a team" The girl stated with a know it all attitude. "Source.. Me"

"Wait… source you?"

"I returned from studying abroad during middle school and everyone was determined to eliminate me" Yukinoshita stated with a look of irritation in her eyes. "Not a single one of them attempted to improve themselves while trying to best me… those idiotic imbeciles"

"This feels like a major minefield…"

She then went on a rant about how she was super attractive, excelled at academics, sports, etiquette and arts. She also stated how none of them had been able to approach her level of greatness and didn't have the gusts to make a definite move against her. Yukinoshita had eventually trailed off with slight blush that made Hikigaya wonder if speaking that way had been her method of coping with her shyness. He also had to admit it was kind of cute… kind of… a little bit… not really.

"Would you refrain from staring at me, Hikicreepy-kun?… your gaze makes my skin crawl"

"I'm retracting my statement of her being cute in any way"

"So there's nothing that can be done to help Totsuka's team?" Hikigaya asked, surprising the girl.

"How strange…. You caring about helping others…"

"Well.. Not many people ask me for help so.. I guess I should at least see if I can help" Hikigaya shrugged, looking away.

Yukinoshita was about to say something in return, but the club room door slid open revealing Yuigahama, Totsuka and Saki, who had gone to get a drink on the way to the club, standing there.

"Yahallo!

"H-hello"

"Yo"

"Yo.." Hikigaya replied in return to the three rather then waste energy saying hi to all three. "What are you here for Totsuka?"

"We bought someone with a request" Yuigahama announced proudly, puffing out her already large chest and making Hikigaya worry her shirt would tear open from the pressure.

"She bought a request.. Don't lump me in with your shit.. I only met up with you a minute ago" Saki glared slightly as she walked by them.

"So listen, listen! I'm a member of the club to so I thought I'd do my job" Yuigahama stated, ignoring Saki's mean comments. "Sai-chan has a problems so I bought him here"

"Yuigahama…."

"No need to thank me, Yukinon" Yukinoshita, and Hikigaya both groaned.

"Believe me… I won't" Yukinoshita folder her arms. "Your not actually a member.. Myself, Hikicrappy-kun and Kawasaki are the only members"

"WHAT?!"

Yuigahama's voice was loud and made everyone's ears ring with Saki speaking what everyone was thinking.. "Holy crap… so freaking loud.. Jeeze"

"I thought she was member…" Hikigaya looked at Saki who shrugged, apparently thinking along the same lines as him.

"What do you mean I'm not a member Yukinon!?" Yuigahama exclaimed, racing over to Yukinoshita.

"It's simple.. You never filled out any club application form nor has our supervising teacher Miss Hiratsuka granted you consent to join the club"

"I'll fill one out! I'll fill out as many applications as you want! lemme join, Yukinon!" Yuigahama begged with tears in her eyes.

"Can we not let her join?" Saki asked not hiding her distain. "Its bad enough I'm being forced to go this club at all.. But having this loud mouth girl stay here is even worse"

"I agree" Hikigaya nodded to Saki's statement which only made Yuigahama highly depressed.

Nonetheless, she pulled out a notebook and tore off a sheet of paper, before writing "club application" on it with a childish form of letters.

"I'm not accepting that as a application" Yukinoshita stated firmly. "If you really want to join then you'll need to get a proper application from Ms. Hiratsuka and have her approve it.. Giving that she's already probably home or busy you'll need to wait till tomorrow to get one…"

Ignoring the now downtrodden Yuigahama, Yukinoshita looked at Totsuka. "Totsuka was it?.. What was your request?"

Caught in the headlights of the cold stare of Yukinoshita, Totsuka shivered slightly before answering her. "T-that is… I need help.. Getting better at.. T-tennis"

Totsuka only ended up looking at Yukinoshita a moment before he turned his shy gaze away from her and looked at Hikigaya, seeing how he'd react.

"I'm not exactly certain what Yuigahama told you about the club, though giving her less then stellar brain capacity I'm certain it was incorrect" Yukinoshita glance momentarily at the pouting Yuigahama. "The Service Club is not your personal genie.. We provide a small amount of assistance and more importantly, encourage independence so that you have a chance to improve, though whether you succeed is more on you then us"

Yuigahama was looking through her bag, looking for.. Who knows what, but had look of confusion on her face when she looked up again. "What?"

"You don't have the right to ask that.. Your irresponsible nature and remarks have crushed this boy's slim hopes" Yukinoshita glared while Hikigaya shook his head and Saki sat looking through a manga magazine.

"But.. You and Hikki and Saki-chan can figure out something right?" She asked with somewhat blank look on her face.

"You've been a lot more forthright lately haven't you…you of all people trying to test me" Yukinoshita glared as the one to never back to down any challenge. "…fine.. We will accept your request Totsuka.. It is to get better at tennis?"

"Do we have to?" Saki asked sighing. "In the words of a certain character from a manga in this magazine.. This is such a drag"

"Who's up for watching clouds?" Hikigaya asked, catching on to the reference.

"Um.. Back on track please" Yukinoshita glared much to Hikigaya and Saki's annoyance. "Could you give further details on your request?"

"Um.. Y-yes.. I figured if.. If I got b-better, everyone else on the team would try harder too.. Maybe" Totsuka trailed off with a blush as he tried to hide behind Hikigaya.

Yukinoshita's naturally predatory, ice queen gaze was enough to startled most, so on a shy person like Totsuka, it was no surprise to Hikigaya that the boy was even more effected.

"I guess we can help" Hikigaya said with almost reluctance. "So.. What exactly do we have to do?"

"Totsuka.. You have tennis club after school, correct?" Yukinoshita asked ignoring Hikigaya. "We'll meet during lunch tomorrow after lunch for some special training"

"Roger that!" Yuigahama saluted as Yukinoshita shook her head.

"Not you"

"W-why not?!" The pink haired girl exclaimed as everyone(besides Totsuka of course) sighed in annoyance.

"Because I already told you that your not part of the club.." Yukinoshita held her forehead in one hand. "If you can get Ms. Hiratsuka to sign off on your form before lunch tomorrow then you can join us.. Otherwise you will have to wait till club tomorrow"

The training for helping Totsuka was going to be at lunch hour the next day.

"I'm not even sure why I was going with the others in the club" Hikigaya thought to himself.

At the end of the day, the only thing the Service Club did was gather together a bunch of weirdos. A teacher had gather them together and gave them a temporary comfort shelter or maybe a ward to be away from the normies. "Is it really any different from the classic experience that I hate so much?"

"Maybe that's why she put us together….created a sanitarium for excising the sources of our respective social sicknesses" Hikigaya continued his train of thought. "But if what was wrong with us could be wiped away so easily, especially in such a shoddy way, we wouldn't be the way we are in the first place"

Shaking his head, he got changed into the standard gym pants and shirt before heading out to the tennis court. Hachiman ran into Totsuka only a few minutes after exiting the building and saw him in the same uniform, though it made him look girl unlike Hikigaya's.

Totsuka gave him a stuttered greeting before they headed to the courts to meet with the others.

Yukinoshita and Saki we already there, though standing away from each other. They were both in the gym uniform which also had shirt, but instead of pants, feature shorts that were both... Well…rather short.

Yukinoshita didn't really show any embarrassment as she stood there holding a racket with her smooth, flawless legs showing off. Hikigaya glanced at Saki and had to admit that even though he wasn't a pervert, he as teenage boy with hormones and didn't mind the sigh of her equally smooth, and much longer legs showed off by her shorts. She was wearing a unzipped track jacket, probably because she wasn't as social as Yukinoshita and the fact that she was somewhat busty… Though not quite at the level of the watermelon smuggling Yuigahama…but she wasn't flat either…

"If your done undressing us with your eyes, we can start, Hikipervert-kun" Yukinoshita glared slightly.

"I wasn't looking at you" Hikigaya stated clearing his throat.

"But you don't deny staring like a pervert" Yukinoshita stated, folding her arms.

Saki blushed slightly and couldn't look Hikigaya in his eyes.

"Now then.. The first thing we should do is build up Totsuka's muscles that he is fatally lacking...the various muscles including biceps, triceps and so forth…" Yukinoshita trailed of as she looked at Totsuka. "For now you will start with doing push ups…just stop as soon as your nearly dead"

"Isn't that a but extreme for someone that doesn't do a lot of exercise?" Hikigaya asked glancing at the nervous Totsuka.

"He also needs to build his basal metabolism" The ice girl added, folding her arms.

Totsuka nodded. "I'll t-try my best"

Totsuka got into the position for push ups and begin slowly do them as instructed as Saki yawned and Hikigaya glanced at Totsuka.

"Perhaps you and Kawasaki should partake in the exercise as well" Yukinoshita suggested after several minutes of watching Totsuka struggle to do pushups due to his small frame and apparent lack of ever doing them.

"I already exercise" Saki stated, looking over at Yukinoshita. "Why don't you exercise?.. You're the one with no stamina, right?"

"I.. uh…I'm not the one who will need the long term benefits for this" Yukinoshita tried to reason. "This is for the sake of assisting Totsuka with his tennis club as per his request"

"Sounds like your just making excuses" Saki replied shrugging with glint in her eye. "Like you can't do it"

Yukinoshita let out a icy glare though Saki just returned the favor and Hikigaya palm faced at the two.

Giving her competitive nature, Yukinoshita made her way over and but began doing push ups as Hikigaya made his way near Saki.

"She won't last long" He said in a low voice.

"Probably not" Saki agreed.

Sure enough she couldn't do more then few before collapsing and glaring at Saki.

Several days passed, and the tennis practice program thing had entered phase two. The name tried to make it sound cool, but it was really just them finishing basic workouts and beginning practicing with the racket and ball. Or rather Totsuka was as he was the only one practicing with a racket and ball.

He was on his own, practicing under the watchful eye of drill sergeant master Yukinoshita while the rest of them did pretty much whatever they wanted. Yukinoshita was reading a novel while keeping an eye on Totsuka, Yuigahama had officially joined the club and tried participating in the practice until her lack of stamina got the best of her and she ended up napping near Yukinoshita like dog that was tired out from playing in the park.

At the same time, Saki was sitting against the fence with her long legs in front her and her knees bent. She was looking through a manga magazine while stealing glances at the nearby Hikigaya and had a bit of redness on her cheeks as she did.

Hikigaya himself was more or less zoning out and observing some ants crawling along. "Truly my life is that of infinite fun.. Carry me away with you oh great ants"

Sighing, Hikigaya laid back, not caring about the hot pavement. However, his face soon became just as hot as the ground after glancing at Saki. She either didn't know or didn't care, but with her legs up he got a full view of her lace panties, butt and everything else below her waist.

"I'm not a pervert! I'm not a pervert!. I'm just a healthy teenage boy!" Hikigaya yelled in his mind and he quickly looked away. "She shouldn't be sitting like that!"

At some point, the club's pet dog Yuigahama had woken up and was currently tossing out tennis calls of Totsuka to hit while Yukinoshita gave her directions. Yuigahama's throw were terrible the ball never being tossed in the same place and even with the ice queen's directions she wasn't very good at it.

"Sigh.. I wish I could dissolve into the ground.. Or grow wings to fly away" Hikigaya muttered as he glance at Totsuka and Yuigahama though imminently looked way after see the girl run in her way too tight shirt and bouncing of her chest.

"If you learn to fly, mind taking me with you?" Saki asked, catching Hikigaya's attention. "Or. We could just skip this…not like were needed for anyways"

"Hikki! you should take over this" Yuigahama exclaimed catch his and Saki's attention. "I'm tired!"

"I'd rather let the sun bake me to a fine crisp" Hikigaya sighed, sitting up.

"You can practice volleying the ball back and forth with Totsuka" Yukinoshita butted in.

Hikigaya made sound that was a cross between a groan and sigh as he stood up and stretch his arms. Walking over with no real interest, he began hitting tennis balls over to Totsuka but it didn't last long when a voice spoke out.

"Look they're playing tennis"

Hikigaya looked and saw a group of students walking over with Hayama and Miura in the middle. "It's Yui-chan and her friends"

"Hmm?.. Oh its.. Oh hey! Hikio!" Miura waved with grin, as Saki, and Hikigaya groaned. "Can we play too?"

"I'm not playing.. Exactly" Totsuka trailed of due to his shyness.

"What? I like couldn't hear you"

Totsuka's protests were too soft spoken and low for Miura to hear, though it didn't surprise Hikigaya much. Miura could be slightly intimidating…whether she did it deliberately or not he wasn't sure.

"I-I'm practicing" Totsuka said, doing his best to say it louder.

"Oh.. But like.. You're the only one here from the tennis club right?"

"Y-yes that's true…"

"Then it should be fine for us to join in right?" Miura clearly didn't really care about what Totsuka was saying. "You don't mind right Hikio?"

"Calm down everyone" Hayama said stepping up. "How about we play a match?...the winner can have first use of the courts at lunch from now on...this can further help Totsuka with practicing for tennis club… since there are several of us.. We can switch out every ten minutes.. It will be fun for everyone that way"

"That like… sounds like lots of fun" Miura grinned. "Hikio you can be on our team"

"Um.. Shouldn't be our group against the their club?" Hayama asked, looking over at Miura. "Otherwise it would make the match kind of pointless"

"Oh right. I knew that.. Guess I can still see Hikio's tennis skills finally" Miura nodded, still grinning. "Oh and I never to ask you that favor earlier in this chapter, so like be prepared for that too"

"Why am I stuck with this?…

A short time later Totsuka and Hikigaya were standing on the court on one side while Hayama and Yumiko stood on the opposite side.

"Ready?" Hayama asked, looking at the other three on the court.

"Can I go home yet?" Hikigaya asked sighing. "Or change with someone else?.. Like Saki"

"No change in hell is that happening" Saki replied quickly, from nearby. "I wanna play even less then you do"

"Don't be silly Hikio" Miura laughed while ignoring Saki. "I've wanted to see how good you were tennis"

"Can't you just pretend that you watched me play instead?" Was his reply.

"Hmm.. Nope"

And so the match began…

But you'll have to wait till the next chapter to see the match. Because I'm an asshole

("Sure are narrator dude")

("Definitely are")

("Like totally are")

No one asked you….
