Eiji`s Family Secret Chapter 9: Truth or Dare

"Well...I…I...those guys…." Eiji began, looking at the floor as if that was the most interesting thing in the entire world. Meanwhile he was playing with his fingers, trying to figure out what to say to his friends.

"Eiji..." Fuji interrupted, noticing how hard it was for his friend to talk about the subject. He didn't want to push him, but at the same time he was worried about the guys who tried to hurt him. His last wound was really serious and the others were also very deep. The tensai was afraid that next time his friend would die.

Eiji sighed, then looked up from the floor. "Those guys were my …. how to say it… my family." His eyes returned to the floor to avoid the stares from his friends. He knew it was somehow impossible for them to believe that someone from his own family wanted to kill him. It was too ridiculous.

Astonished and speechless from Eiji`s words, everyone felt useless and didn't know what to say or do. The only one who continued moving was the tensai, still bandaging his friend. However, he didn't notice he was making it so hard until the acrobat told him, so he apologized and continued his work.

"E-Eiji, your own family wants to kill you?" Oishi managed to ask as he sat next to his doubles partner and put a hand on his shoulder. He saw the acrobat smiling, which made him really happy.

"Oishi, Fujiko, and guys, I'm sorry…. I know you are angry at me because of what I said about leaving." Eiji turned to see all his friends around him, except Tezuka and Kaidoh, smiling (well Ryoma had a little smile).

"No, of course not," Fuji replied. "We are happy you are back, but we are not mad at you or something." The others regulars nodded, making Eiji hug Oishi and smile.

"Thanks Fujiko, well let me see ...today I have to go to a party in Atobe`s mansion," the acrobat announced, "You want to come? All of Seigaku together?" He smiled and looked at his friends who were now surprised and looking at one another.

"Ahem, Eiji…. You think is right to go without invitations?" the fukubuchou asked, being the Seigaku mother-hen he was. His doubles partner looked at him, then smiled and nodded, meaning that everything would be all right.

"Yes, of course, he told me to invite everyone I want to, so I'm inviting you. Ohh, and I forgot, it isn't a formal party or something. It is only a party for all the Hyoutei regulars, like a sleepover nya." Eiji smiled and stood up, looking at everyone and thinking, I know how I'll make them go. He made an evil smile. "If you don't go, I will not go, which means I'll break my promise. Then my parents will make me transfer to Hyoutei."

"Eiji, you don't have to say things like that to make us do what you want," the tensai answered, smiling. "You are becoming a sadist like me." Everyone else sweatdropped. Fuji was right that Eiji was becoming like him. They will have to take care of that neko and make sure he didn't spend so much time with the tensai of Seigaku.

"Okay nya, well, I'll wait for you at my house. In … like two hours a limo will pick us up, okay nya?" Eiji smiled, approached the door, opened it, and rushed away, leaving the others with no choice but to agree.

Two hours later, all the regulars arrived at Eiji`s house. They had decided to arrives at the same time so they could leave as soon as possible. As they approached the front door, they heard some strange noises inside, like crystal breaking and someone or something being pushed again the wall really hard.

"Hey, s-stop nya," Eiji's weak voice sounded.

Just then, a woman's angry and worried voice broke out. "STOP! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT TO EIJI, NOW COME WITH ME!" The regulars then heard two people running upstairs into a room. Oishi ran and tried to open the locked door. After Fuji rang the doorbell, they heard their teammate getting up and walking to the door.

"Nya hi, everyone, you are very early today," Eiji greeted, smiling as if nothing happened, and that everything was normal. He stepped aside to let everybody into the house. Examining the house, the regulars knew something had just happened for there was a broken lamp on the floor.

"E-Eiji, what happened here?" the motherhen asked in a very serious voice, looking at him, and then the broken lamp. "Are you hurt? Who did this?"

"Oh! This, hahaha, don't worry, it was…. my cat," his doubles partner lied calmly and smiling, as if it were true. "I was playing with him, and he broke the lamp. My sister pushed him into the room so he won't cause any more chaos here."

"Eiji, you are…" Fuji began, but his friend turned and rushed upstairs, then back downstairs a few seconds later with all his stuff for the sleepover at Atobes mansion.

"I already told Atobe about you, and he is glad you are coming with us." The hyperactive boy informed, opening the door.

Eiji, you are lying , everyone in this room noticed that. What is happening? We are worried. The fukubuchou thought, looked at his doubles partner, and reminded, "Eiji, you know you can count on us for anything, no?" However, the red-haired boy only smiled and walked out of the house, followed by Tezuka, Ryoma, Inui, Momo, Kaidoh, and Kawamura, leaving Oishi and Fuji behind them. Those two looked at each other before following the group. They closed the door behind them and headed for the black limo waiting for them.

"Welcome Kikumaru-sama," all the servants at Atobe's mansion greeted and bowed at the same as they opened the door.

"Keigo-sama and the others are waiting for you and your friends in his room," one of the servants informed very respectfully and seriously.

"Thanks nya. I know my way there, thanks, see you." Eiji waved and smiled. He led the rest of the Seigaku regulars through the big room and long corridors until he reached a big door. He smiled at them and knocked. "Nya, it's me, Eiji, and the others too," he announced with his cheerful voice. At that moment, the big doors opened, revealing the big room inside. There was a plasma TV in the middle, the limited last version of a music producer, and a lot of things that only rich people could easily get.

"Ore-sama is glad all of you are here." Atobe let the Seigaku team into the room where his whole team was talking. They smiled and waved when they saw the Seigaku regulars. Everyone put their sleeping bags on the floor and said "hello" to the Hyoutei regulars. After the greetings and introductions, they played games on Atobe's Wii, followed by some karaoke, something that Gakuto and Eiji were the best in. The night was fun, and they continued with more games.

"Hey guys, now what?" the red-haired guy from Seigaku asked, looking at everyone who was getting bored after the last game. He was thinking, but his thoughts were interrupted by Fuji who was thinking of a possibly interesting game.

"Let's play…. Truth or Dare." The sadistic tensai smiled. Everyone looked at one another, but finally agreed that it was only a little innocent game, so what could happen? Everyone sat in a circle on the floor as Atobe ordered one of his servants to bring a bottle. Momoshiro was first, and he decided "truth."

"Momo-sempai, do you have a crush on Tachibana Ann from Fudomine?" Ryoma interrogated with an evil smile while his sempai greatly blushed and nodded, causing everyone to laugh. The second one spinning the bottle was Yuushi, and it stopped at Otori who chose "dare."

"Okay Otori, you have to call your crush and tell her that you love her," Yuushi requested, looking at his blushing kouhai. How did Oshitari know about his crush? Tt was really strange. Next, Fuji spun the bottle which pointed to Eiji.

"So Eiji, 'truth'or 'dare'?" the brown-haired boy asked innocently, looking at the acrobat who smiled and decided on "truth" because Otori had just chosen "dare." He wasn't aware that Fuji already had his question in his mind, and was waiting him to pick "truth."

"Eiji what really happened at your house when we arrived?" the tensai probed with his eyes completely open because he was serious about it. "Tell the truth this time." The Hyoutei regulars stared at Eiji, confused, and the red-haired boy's eyes widened. He was really surprised at his friend's question. He didn't believe what I said at home. He is a tensai, so it's very difficult to lie to him.

He smiled and laughed. "Fujiiko, I'll never win against you, no?"
