--------------------------------------

THE PERFECT PLAN

Coach Ryuzaki was pacing her office as soon as Keigo Atobe hung up the phone after informing her of Ryoma's untimely accident. She still hadn't informed anyone about but she had little doubt that the other regulars will freak out. But that just wasn't the least of her problems, her favorite student (ehem...) Nanjiroh Echizen had just called to tell her that his niece will come and pay her a visit. She wouldn't have minded this if it wasn't for Nanjiroh's so-called slip-up about his niece being a HUGE trouble-maker. She had heard from her former student that the girl was good at tennis but since she have this mental problems (courtesy of Nanjiroh's vivid exaggeration... Yukino comes into Ryoma's house and beats up her supposed uncle.. sigh...and so the story continues) she would pose as a problem to her team, as if nine wierdos - guess who - weren't enough to shake her up. She was about to forge a letter stating that Ryoma will be on leave when her office door burst open..

BANG!!!!

Sumire looked up to see a female version of the first year regular. Thinking that her tennis players are playing a trick on her worked-up mind, poor Ryuzaki-sensei blurted out..

'ECHIZEN RYOMA, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING! WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT ABSURD CLOTHING AND COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU ARE HERE WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL!!!! OH PLEASE, TAKE THAT WIG AND CONTACTS OFF...!!!!!!!!!'

The pair eyed her incredulously - well for Yukino's case that is since poor Tezuka was silently berating himself for not recognizing the semblance of the two - and realizing that she was being mistaken for her cousin once again, she said haughtily,

'Sensei, why do you insist on calling by that name?'

'DON'T YOU DARE PLAY YOUR MIND GAMES ON ME, I HAVE NO TIME FOR SUCH FOOLISH ANTICS, KID!!!'

'As inclined as I am to oblige to your request, I CANNOT TAKE THIS OFF SINCE THIS IS NO WIG - pointing to her hair irately - AND I WEAR NO CONTACTS!'

Yukino stomped her right foot while huffing exasperatedly over the assumption that SHE was her cousin... Tezuka decided it best to intervene before the girl in front of him provoke Ryuzaki-sensei into doing something harsh. He coughed to get their attention before he spoke in his calm poker face,

'Ryuzaki-sensei, she is telling the truth... and what do you mean that Echizen is supposed to be in the hospital?'

'SHE?' Sumire asked dumb-founded at the declaration of her club's captain.

'Hai. I'm a SHE, meaning a member of the female specie...' She spun around as if daring the older woman to say otherwise, 'Watashi wa Echizen Yukino desu. Yoroshiku...' She continued while making an honorific bow towards the coach.

Tezuka was surprised to hear this tinny winny bit of fact... Echizen? Does that mean that she's related to that annoying brat? - uh-oh Tezuka's thinks of our poor hero as annoying, guess I got to tell Ryo-chan about that... THWACK!!! Tezuka innocently pushed a pile of books towards our poor author. - He spoke calmly,

'Are you somehow related to Echizen Ryoma?'

'Hai! Ryo-no-baka's my dear cousin... why d'you ask?' She drawled somewhat uninterested about their discussion about her cousin.

'Just curious.' was the composed reply.

Yukino scrutinized the Seigaku Captain as if looking for signs of falsehood but find none so she just shrugged and spoke,

'Okay, I guess I'll just have to agree on that... by the way as an answer to your previous question, Ryo-no-baka is in the hospital right now 'coz he got hit by some stupid rich boy's car and is now being taken care off in a cheap hospital that's near the area.'

'Stupid?' Tezuka asked incredulously,

'Uh-uh.'

'Rich?'

'Yup!'

'Matte, is the car a black limousine?'

'Hai.' Yukino replied and peered curiously at Tezuka who had seemed to paled at her answer, 'Nani? Daijobu desu ka, Kuni-chan?' She asked as an afterthought.

Coach Ryuzaki gawked at the nickname and asked her mind silently, What the hell is going on here! Should I call myself a psychiatrist or what? I can't believe that my stoic captain just found himself a funny name... Damn you Nanjiroh, I can't believe that you left out the part that your niece just looked like your own son... (Nanjiroh's snickers could be heard from outside the stage area.) Tezuka, on the other hand, allowed the comment to pass and said silently to himself, 'Could it be Keigo?'

Fortunately for Yukino, she heard what had been said and asked loudly snapping the four-eyes from his own thoughts, 'Keigo? Are you referring to Keigo Atobe of Hyotei Gakuen?'

'Yes, I am. Do you know him?'

'Hai! He was my b-f- while we were staying in America.' With that, Tezuka's eyes twitched in irritation... (Could you guess what he's thinking right now?)

'Do you mean to tell me that you have had a relationship?' That two-timing bastard!!!! I'll show him (All right people, FYI Tezuka's a bi in this story so please don't sue me.)

'EH?'

'I'm asking you whether you have been his girlfriendor not?'

'Are you joking, if you know him I guess you also know that he's gay... Well, not exactly, I guess you could call him a bisexual. 'Sides, being my bestfriend does not mean that i'm going to have further relationship with him...'

''Kay then... by the way, where did they take Echizen, Ryoma that is.'

'It was called Hitomi Hospital.'

This time Coach Ryuzaki freaked out, 'NANI! He was taken to the Hitomi Hospital and you call that cheap?'

'Why, yes, bince by bospital bis bar better bhan bhat...' She replied casually while eating some sushi that just appeared out of nowhere.

'Huh?'

'Gulp... I said that my hospital is far better than that.'

The two looked at her as if she had grown two heads. She sighed and said,

'Do you know of the Maho Ken Tenshi?' (It just a name so just don't mind it.)

The two nodded.

'You know its reputation too, right?'

nods...

'Well, I run that hospital and so, of course I would rather prefer that than others.' She was saying this casually but the two was still unconvinced. Yukino just shrugged and procured a business card out of nowhere...

It says:

Echizen Yukino

CEO and Officer-in-Chief

Phoenix Corporation (1991)

Upon seeing the card, the two fell comically... What is this girl, is she sane? Phoenix Corps? Tezuka asked himself while the coach managed to straighten herself and questioned the younger girl,

'Is that card... authentic?'

'Of course.'

'B-b-but the Phoenix Corps is the largest and most successful corporation today?'

'I know... I made it so myself.'

'I guess you're right.'

(a/n well folks let's leave those three for a sec...)

At the Seigaku Tennis Court...

Oishi Fuku-buchou was pacing the courts, worried about their two aces who still hadn't appeared for practice. He was very worried about what had happened to the two. He was so out of it that he accidentally bumped into his doubles partner, Eiji Kikumaru, who began to pester him with his whining about, 'WAAH! Oishi hates me, nya! HE hates me so that he pushed me away when I'm just going to give him a hug, nya!' This kept on until the acrobatic player was finally sufficed by Oishi's apologies and that he didn't actually hate his partner or something like that.

Fuji noticed the commotion and decided to enter the scene.

'Saa...what's wrong Oishi?'

'I'm thinking about Echizen and Tezuka when Eiji bumped into me...'

'Waah!! It's Oishi, Oishi who bumped into me, Fuji, nya!!!'

'Hai, Hai., It's me who BUMPED into EIJI.' Oishi said those words firmly making his partner squirm a bit. Afterall, it wasn't everyday that something ticks him off. Fuji, well, he just smiled like it's an everyday occurence and continued questioning his friend,

'Na, Oishi, what do you mean that you're worried about those two?'

'Well, it's very likely that they went off together to play a match against each other just like before.'

'Saa... But that's impossible.'

'NANI??? WHat do you mean by that Fuji, nya?'

'Well, I accidentally overheard Tezuka talking to Atobe about their date at the airport this morning.' (Actually what he heard was Tezuka asking Atobe about what's so important that he has to go to the airport at noon. -feels a pair of eyes staring at her- gulp... sorry didn't mean to say that... gotta run...)

The other two looked at him strangely and was about to ask something when Arai came shouting...

'Sempais, you wouldn't believe what I just saw... pant... pant... pant...'

'Nani?' The three said in unison.

'I just saw Buchou walking towards Ryuzaki-sensei's office with Echizen tagging along.'

The three exchanged curious glances but allowed Arai to continue.

'And that's not all, Echizen... he's wearing something weird... I mean, he's wearing this brown wig and girlish clothes and I also heard him call Buchou by this funny nickname...'

'Nickname?' Oishi asked..

'Erm... how should I say this... Well, I heard him call Tezuka-buchou, uhm... "Kuni-chan"... well, that's all...' With that Eiji burst out laughing while Arai took his leave. As soon as Eiji's laughter subsided, the three raced towards the coach's office...

Eiji's P.O.V.

I was looking for Oishi when I found him in a sort of a daze. I decided to glomp him to snap him out of it but it seems that my plan backfired. Oishi bumped into me so I began whining about him hating me even though I know that it isn't true. I just really wanted him to apologize, nya. Then, Fuji appeared. He said that Oishi need not worry about Tezuka and Ochibi'coz our buchou is on a date with Hyotei's buchou. Wait, doesn't that mean that Tezuka's gay. Tezuka's gay????? TEZUKA'S GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waah, it's impossible... We need to impeach him and let Oishi take his place... Oh no, bad idea... it'll only make Oishi worse than he is now... Maybe, it's Atobe who's gay, oh poor Hyotei... Just then, Arai came and told us that Tezuka's with Ochibi and their going to baa-chan's office. Funny, though, he said that Ochibi's wearing girlie clothes and is referring to Tezuka as Kuni-chan. I just have to laugh at that. Oishi and Fuji waited for me to stop laughing and off we went to baa-chan's office.

Normal P.O.V.

The three regulars burst into Ryuzaki-sensei's office with Eiji shouting, 'I wanna see girlie OCHIBI!! Nya!!!'

Upon hearin this, there was a slight tick appearing on Yukino's forehead... Why, this stupid hyper... I'm gonna kill him for that... (poor Eiji...)

Eiji scanned the office for the supposed Echizen Ryoma in girlie closed but was surprised to see the young CEO. He squinted his eyes and screeched, 'WAAAAAAAAAAAAH, You're not Ochibi!!!! Where's our OCHIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOIIISSSHHHIII!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's OUR OCHIBI!!!...sniff...sniff...sniff'

Upon hearing thise, Oishi sighed and shook his head, 'Eiji, what are you talking about, this girl...ahem...here certainly looks like our Echizen so what are you talking about?' He questioned his doubles partner who continued to cry for losing the chance to see his favorite kouhai in female clothing. 'Demo, nya, she's a girl...and she's not our Ochibi...' He answered while jumping up and down in front of Yukino. This actually pissed the young girl and as soon as the acrobatic player touched the ground she stopped his foot with hers before he jumped again resulting into an unfortunate fall of the said player. He was about to cry out loud when he heard Yukino speak,

'This stupid hyper's right, y'know... I'm a girl and for Kami's sake, why do you always mistake me for my idiotic cousin, sigh... what's wrong with you people?' She was very irritated, not only because this guys had questioned her gender but also because they mistook her for her cousin which always ticks her off.

'Could it be that you're Echizen Yukino? The CEO of Phoenix Corps who was allegedly said to be the only undefeated female player in the history of Japan?' It was Fuji who said this. Almost everybody was taken aback by this piece of information, especially the coach and Tezuka who thought, So she's not lying...

Fuji's P.O.V.

As we rushed into Coach's office, I was surprised to see a girl looking like Echizen Ryoma. I already knew that she's a girl seeing that her stance is quite different from a crossdresser. Besides, her chest could just help you decide with her gender. I was impressed by how Eiji knew about this that he began to whine senselessly while Oishi was trying to insist that the girl was indeed our kouhai. I didn't say a word for a while because I was wondering where I saw her before. I heard Eiji argue with Oishi while jumping in front of the girl who tripped him effortlessly. I fought against the urge to snicker. This girl is kinda inrteresting, I wonder if she's the one that I saw from the internet. I confirmed my suspicions when the girl said that Echizen is her cousin meaning she's an Echizen too. So before I could stop myself, I asked her if she's Echizen Yukino? Eiji and Oishi seemed to be shocked while Coach and Tezuka were having some sort of thoughts about what I said.

Normal P.O.V.

Yukino smiled serenely when she realized that there was someone who knew her, 'Hai, Watashi namae wa Echizen Yukino desu, CEO of Phoenix Corps, is that so hard to believe?' She was very exasperated by the turn of events. Fuji smiled widely at this response, She is indeed interesting. The girl looked at him and grinned, 'I think I like you... so may I know your name?'

'Watashi was Fuji Syuusuke.' was his cool response,

'Ne, is it okay if I call you, Syuu-chan?' She asked with a sweet smile on her face, daring the tensai to disagree. He nodded softly in assent and the girl squealed in delight. She gave him a hug and smiled brightly at him.

Unfortunately, the others could feel the air crackle as soon as this interaction took place. An ominous aura came off from the ever so stoic captain and only Yukino was oblivious to this. 'Ne, Kuni-chan isn't Syuu-chan cute?' She asked like a child and this increased the evil aura from the boy. Fuji sensed this and opened his eyes. As soon as he did, Yukino squealed again, 'Kawaii!!!!!!!!!!!! Your eyes are sooooooo blue!!!!!!!' This increased the tension between the two seniors. Hmph! My eyes are way cuter than that sadistic wierdo... Wait, why am I affected like this? I just met the girl and I'm acting like his boyfriend. Kami, I think I'm going nuts. Tezuka thought while continuing to release his evil aura that was now directed towards the tensai who turned his attention back to the girl.

'Saa... But I think that you are way cuter...' He said, 'Well, It seem that you're quite good at flattery. But, you're right, I'm cute...' She answered in a teasing voice completely ignoring the other people inside the office.

(After a few more tense seconds...)

Ryuzaki-sensei finally summoned enough strength to interfere and spoke with more authority than before,

'Could you please stop this noise! Tezuka, what do you think should we do about the situation at hand?'

'Situation? What situation?' Oishi asked back in his mother-hen mode..

'Well, Ryo-no-baka, got himself in an accident and is currently in the hospital. Unfortunately for you, he can't play in the Kantou regionals. And since he's already registered, no other player could play. So your only option is to forfeit his match or report the incident to the tournament official knowing the possibility of having you thrown out of the tournament itself.' Yukino explained casually much to the horror of the three regulars who came late. The three looked at their captain but to their dismay,

'That's the case.' Tezuka confirmed Yukino's assertions...

'Demo, why would we thrown out of the tournament? It's only an accident, nya?' Eiji asked mournfully,

'It's because, Atobe Keigo was the one who injured him, so both Hyotei and Seigaku might be thrown out if the case is veiwed as a deliberate attempt of sabotaging the game on Hyotei's part and uteer carelessness on ours.' Tezuka said. His eyes shifted from the acrobatic player to the pacing Fuku-buchou then towards a certain tensai who was eying Yukino with complete scrutiny. He felt the urge to pull the girl away but knowing Fuji, he knew that the tensai was currently formulating an ingenious plan to get them out of trouble.

After a few seconds, Yukino began to fidget under Fuji's gaze and asked, 'Doushite?' Fuji smiled at her questionand whispered in her ear. She listened intently at the tensai and slowly nodded in assent. As soon as their mysterious conversation ended, Yukino spoke calmly and seriously, surprising everybody by her change of tone,

'I'll do it only if you and Kuni-chan will accompany me always and allow me to do what I want.' Fuji frowned at the mention of Tezuka's name but agree nonetheless. The two explained the plan and everybody agreed. As to the conditions, Coach Ryuzaki was more than willing to throw hr players into the line of fire, meaning being the official chaperones of the rather confusing female Echizen. They agreed that no one other than them should know of the situation. Coach Ryuzaki called Atobe to inform him of the plan and to ask for his cooperation. They were rather dubious about his answer but to their surprise, he agreed with the condition that Yukino should only play as a reserve if ever there would be a match between Hyotei and Seigaku.

As soon as the complicated parts of their plan was smoothed, Yukino dragged Fuji outside the office and began to commence the second part of their plan much to the girl's pleasure.

Inside the office, the remaining others could feel the extremity of Tezuka's irritation. For fear of their life, Eiji and Oishi quickly walked out. And, to Ryuzaki-sensei's relief, Tezuka also left with only one thing in his mind, follow the two brunettes wherever they might go.

------------------------------------------------------

Finally, this chappie's done...

Hehe... I got so lazy that I only finished this now...

I think it's very obvious what their plan is so no need to tell you, right?

Ryoma: Oi I still don't understand why I should be the one to get into that stupid accident, care to explain why?

Uh... No... Why?

Ryoma: You're impossible just like this supposed cousin of mine... (drags Yukino away from Fuji and Tezuka)

Yukino: Hey... What's wrong with you? Can't you see that I'm having fun with my Kuni-chan and my Syuu-chan

Atobe: Hey, you can't have them both, y'know...

Yukino: Why, Kei-chan? You already have Ryo-no-baka so buzz off...

Atobe: Hmmm... You're right!!!!! Oh come here, Ryoma-chan!!! (Chases Ryoma off the stage)

Well, now that the commotion's over, I guess this is good bye...

Please read and review, minna!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I only own Yukino but I don't think that she likes it so...

Ja ne.
