There is more Emerald pair than any other here so….on your mark! Get set! READ!!!!
Tezuka sighed as he fell onto his bed. Oh was it good to be home! His jaw still hurt like hell but at least he wasn't getting injected with Novocain at his mother's insistence.
He rolled over and for once, let his hair get messy before spying the script. He groaned as he got up to read it. By Monday he should be feeling fine, so he would be able to play Macbeth and…ooh, he like this part.

Macbeth (Tezuka) [M]: If I stand here, I saw him
Lady Macbeth (Ryoma) [LM]: Fie, for shame!
M: Blood hath been shed ere now, i' th' olden time,
Ere human statute purged the gentle weal;
Ay, and since too, murders have been performed
Too terrible for the ear. The times has been
That, when the brains were out, the man would die,
And there an end; but now they rise again,
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns,
And push us from our stool. This is more strange
Than such a murder is.
LM:My worthy lord,
Your noble friends do lack you.
Ryoma stopped once the drama teacher clapped her hands.
"There wasn't enough of Lady Macbeth! Let's do Lady Macbeth's soliloquy! Everyone, turn to Act I scene v!"
Everyone turned to right scene and Ryoma sighed as she trudged her way to the conveniently placed desk and plopped down.
LM: [reads] "They met me in the day of
success; and I have learned by the perfect'st report
they have more in them than mortal knowledge.
When I burned in desire to question them further,
they made themselves air, into which they vanished.
Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came
missives from the King, who all-hailed me 'Thane
of Cawdor'; by which title, before, these weird sisters
saluted me, and referred me to the coming on
of time, with 'Hail, King shalt be!' This have I
Thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of
greatness, that thou mightst not lose the dues of
rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is
promised thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell."
Glamis thou art, and Cawdor thou shalt be
What thou art promised. Yet I do fear thy nature;
It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great,
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not plat false,
And yet wouldst wrongly win. Thou'dst have, great Glamis,
That which cries "Thus thou must do" of thou have it;
And that which rather thou dost fear to do
Than wishest should be undone. Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear,
And chastise with the valor of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crowned withal
Ryoma sat back down as she finished. "So, sleepy…"
"WAH! Ryoma, my darling, awaken!" Ryuu shook his twin harshly and was rewarded with a sound punch. "Ow…" He whimpered.
Meanwhile, Tezuka went into the bathroom and took out his handy dandy tube of Orajel.
"Ah sweet Orajel, make my mouth numb." He applied some of the numbing medication in his mouth and let it do its magic. His mouth began to feel like a giant cotton ball was stuffed in it so he rinsed it out and inwardly smiled at how painless his mouth was.
Ah, damn, next time Rinko went into hysterics, he would stay far away. Alas, he sighed in a depressed mode, Ryuu was back, but Oishi wasn't, sadly. His mother kept him at saying that she didn't want him to fret over anyone so soon.
A long suffering sigh echoed as Tezuka waited for his mouth to regain a bit of feeling; that way he could tell if he was drooling. It would be so un-buchou like if he began to drool.

"I hate this play!" Ryoma stormed around her room as she threw things at her target aka Ryuu. Sakuno was lying on her bed and Tezuka was sitting on the floor against the bed.
"Ah! Come on! I just got out of the hospital!"
"I hate stupid Macbeth! Grr," Ryoma growled as she picked up the closest thing to her right and swung it.
"Oi!" A hard body stumbled into hers and she toppled over with Tezuka on top.
Ryoma gritted her pearly whites as she groaned. Tezuka rose a bit to rub his probably now red forehead.
Rinko heard a thud from upstairs and ran up to see if Ryuu had fainted. She opened Ryoma's door and saw her daughter and her boyfriend in a very compromising position. Tezuka and um Ryoma…looked like they were doing it doggy style.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
Tezuka stiffened and was about scram.
"Don't. You. Run."
Ryoma glared at her mother, "it is NOT what it looks like!"
"And in front of Sakuno-chan no less, and your brother's here too!? Are you having a foursome?"
Ryuu and Sakuno joined in their fight to reason with Rinko. "It's not what it looks like!"
"Listen to us!"
"I lost my balance!"
"Mom!"
"Nanjiroh, come here and see what these kids are doing?"
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" Nanjiroh came up and saw what his wife saw, but he didn't scream. Instead, he grinned and whistled.
"Getting your freak on now," He chuckled before dragging a gaping Rinko away.
Sakuno grinned at Ryuu, "I like your father sometimes."
Ryuu glared at her, "Don't. He's bad news."
The auburn girl pouted.
Ryoma sighed as a major crisis was avioded. "Ryuu, you and Sakuno go to your room. You'll make me throw things at you again." Ryuu was about to say something but Sakuno pecked him on the lips and pushed him out.
"Bye Ryoma-chan, Tezuka-senpai."
Ryoma saw out of the corner of her eye that Tezuka was back to his original position. She laid down and rested her head in his lap.
"I think your mom hates me."
"Nah, she's just like Fuji."
"You act like that's supposed comfort me." Ryoma hummed slightly as Tezuka's fingers moved through her ebony and green locks. She closed her eyes and curled up slightly as she began to feel tingly from the sensations.
"You're purring."
Ryoma smiled as she wrapped her arms around Tezuka's waist. "I am a kitty after all."

"Kaoru, come down here please!" Hazume called out for her oldest child. Kaidoh came down the stairs quietly and stood before his mother. He was wearing just shorts, and his towel was on his shoulders. Hazume sniffed slightly, ah, he just got out of the shower if the smell of kiwi coming off of him was any indication.
But, she reminded herself, this was more important than a kiwi smelling boy.
"Look at these pictures!" She held the photos out for Kaidoh to see. He peered over before hissing harshly.
"FSHUUU! What is this!?" Hazume threw her head back and laughed like a witch.
"It's pictures of Syuuichiro and Eiji after they got together. Why can't you act this way with Sadaharu-kun?" Kaidoh began to glow red with embarrassment.
A bright flash erupted in his line of vision. Hazume put the camera down, "You're so cute, Kaoru!"
Kaidoh hissed and went upstairs again, complaining about yaoi loving mothers.
When he returned to his room, he closed the door firmly before locking it. He walked to his bed and buried himself under the warm blankets. He decided to take a nap before going out for his afternoon run.
That was until Hazume screamed. "KAORU, YOUR FRIEND IS HERE TO SEE YOU!!!"
Kaidoh sat up groggily and marched downstairs. "I don't have any friends to come visit!" He snapped, though he didn't realize how depressing his words sounded.
"So, I presume that I'm just your training manager?" Kaidoh looked in mild surprise at Inui who had just stepped into the house. His dark greenish blue eyes were hidden behind his glasses.
"Senpai, what are you doing here?" Kaidoh blushed slightly at his unintentional insult to his elder.
"Did you forget? We're starting your new training regiment," Inui said as he watched Kaidoh's reaction.
The shy boy blushed slightly and nodded. "We can in the backyard." Kaidoh led the way and unfortunately noticed Inui taking notes on the excited squeals coming from his mother.
'Oh dear, if I don't die by Inui-senpai, I'll die from embarrassment.'
"This is the latest one I edited, you'll be running about 5 miles on school days and then it'll jump to 15 miles when there is no school," Kaidoh nodded as he sat on the grass by the large fence. Inui sat next to him and read from his notes. "From my calculations, you should improve your speed by 25% percent and your stamina by around 34.658%. Also, I've created a routine you could do at home before you go to bed. It's not easy, but someone like you should be able to do it. And…" Inui whipped out a clear bottle of something that was…Kaidoh stared in horror. THAT WASN'T EVEN A COLOR!
No seriously. He didn't think that there was something in the whole spectrum that could match up to it. The closest thing that he could compare it to was poop and grape soda mixed together with egg yolk and broccoli.
"It is my new Super Hyper Special Training Kaoru Juice."
"You, ah, y-you named it after me?" Kaidoh backed away slowly, he was afraid that it just might come out of the bottle and attack him.
"Of course, it was specially created, just for you." Inui leaned closer and Kaidoh stepped back before tripping over his younger brother's action figure and falling backwards.
Inui, who's very much the opportunist, leaned over and poured the drink down Kaidoh's mouth while he was protesting.
"GYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Hazume looked up from her online manga (Mori no Animal Company- go to mangafox). That sounded like her son. She shrugged before happily going back to her little Bunny-kun.

"Kaidoh's not here?" Momoshiro asked in wonder.
"Ah, he is…sick," Inui said mysteriously.
Ryuu came up to him, "I was walking with Sakuno the other day past Kaidoh-senpai's house, 'cause it was near the pizzeria, and I thought we heard him screaming. Did you give him Inui juice?"
"No," Inui said to quickly. Everyone backed off, uh-oh, if it made Kaidoh sick enough to stay home, this new juice was dangerous.
"Relax, no one here is going to try the juice, it was just for Kaidoh's training. Though him going to the hospital was not in my data."
"HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL!?" Everyone, sans Tezuka, Fuji, and Ryoma, screamed. Oishi, who had just returned from his at-home-rest, dropped like a rock.
"NYA, SYUUICHIIIIRRRROOOOHHHHH!" Eiji wailed as he shook his boyfriend. But, nevertheless, Oishi remained knocked out.
Ryuu stepped up to Inui. "Do you think I could have some of that juice? I have a 'pest' I have to get rid of."
Inui- who was distantly wondering why the shorter boy was whispering- whispered back, "Do you mean Tezuka?"
"Yeah, so can I have some?"
"My juice has no effect on him." Ryuu faulted.
"Damn," Inui's glasses glinted as he began to write data down at a furious pace. "And, Ryoma's right behind me isn't she?"
"Uh, yup," Inui said.
"And she's looked pretty P.O-ed, doesn't she?"
"You are correct." Ryuu spun around to face a glaring Ryoma.
"Give that to Mitsu and it's your balls. And no, I don't mean tennis." Ryoma stalked away with an air of finality.
"I'm on probation, AGAIN!?"
"Damn Skippy," Ryoma said as she walked over to Momo, probably weaseling her way into free burgers.
