Chapter 13

Tezuka's visitor/s

[Morning practice]

Even though it was early both Boys and Girls' team were practicing for the next ranking tournament that was coming near and among the other players in the court a female probably in her mid 20's was standing outside one of the courts taking pictures of the boy's team.

"Woah! No wonder Tezuka-san is considered as one of the best players of the team because of his sure strong yet cool demeanor on the court!" But what the novice reporter didn't know that she wasn't the only one taking pictures of Tezuka.

"Tezuka-kun is so cool! Ganbatte!" That sudden outburst surprised the reporter and made her drop her camera.

"Darn it! I hope it's not broken!" As Shiba picked up her camera and checked for any crack. Sure enough she was sure that her camera wasn't broken she glanced at where the loud voice came from and saw a girl who doesn't seem like to be a student in this school for she was wearing a punk rock shirt and loose short that reaches just above her knee and was taking pictures while she sat on the ground. Sure enough Shiba went near the girl placing her hand on her waist.

"Hey you! Are you a spy from another school if yes then you should leave because they won't show their weaknesses that easily!" The young girl ignored the irritated voice of the older girl and continued on what she was doing that made Shiba more irritated and took the young girl's camera.

"Hey! That's mine!" The girl quickly got on her feet and snatched the camera from the reporter and ran to get away from the reporter. As the young girl ran she didn't realize that she was about to collide into someone who was also running quickly and when the collision happened both fell on their butts.

"Ouch~!" They muttered in unison while Shiba went near them to make sure that none of them were injured.

"Hey are you two alright? Fujiwara-san!" Kairu tilted her head up and looked at the reporter then back to the girl that she bumped into. But before she could say a word the other quickly stood up and pointed her finger accusingly at Kairu.

"Hey you watch were your running will ya! Cause of your big chest I fell down!"

"What did you say! You're the one who was running towards me and who do you think you are anyway? Don't you know that outsiders or spies aren't accepted here?"

"FYI but I am not a spy or outsider! I happen to be here to enroll to this school and I happen to be a fan of Tezuka-kun!" As they continue to quarrel they are starting to attract other students and tennis club member's attention making them the center of attention. Tezuka who accompanied by Saori noticed the commotion and went near to see what was going on.

"What's going on here everyone!" Tezuka yelled loud enough for other's to hear and make them run away except for the Seigaku boy's regular member. Tezuka raised an eyebrow as he looked at the person Kairu was fighting with.

"Fujiwara-san what's going on here!" Saori demandingly asked as she stood beside Tezuka.

"Buchou….well you see this outsider was running and bumped me yet she blamed me for it."

"Orihara-chan don't get mad at her it was that girl's fault anyway she's a spy from another school and I saw her taking pictures of Tezuka-san." Shiba added to defend Kairu.

"You know I can hear what you're saying and I repeat I'm not a spy or outsider! I happen to be here to enroll in this school and I'm here to visit Tezuka-kun!" All eyes stared at Tezuka who just sighed before speaking.

"Yuri Ichigawa what do you think you're doing here? And why are you causing this disturbance?"

"But Yuffie and I just wanted to express our love for you Tezuka-kun." Yuri pleaded as she makes a teary face which earned other's to gasp in surprise.

"What!" Momo and Kikumaru yelled in unison.

"Tezuka I didn't know you had a cute girlfriend?" Fuji chuckled earning him a death glare from the stoic captain. "And to think that theirs two of them I never knew that Tezuka was like that." Eiji added.

"Stop saying such things Yuri…where's Yuffie?"

"Sorry Onii-chan. Yuffie's in the principal's office."

"Ohhhh….Onii-chan….EEHHH! Onii-chan!" All of them yelled and looked at Tezuka once again. But Tezuka ignored all of them and just sighed.

"Yuri and Yuffie are my cousins, 2nd cousins to be exact…..but they call me onii-chan anyway."

"That was too bad I thought that Tezuka-buchou has a girlfriend." Momo stated before returning back into the court before Tezuka could tell him to run laps.

"Yuri finish up what you have to do since our morning practice is about over."

"Ok onii-chan….I guess I'll go to where Yuffie is…" As Yuri starts to walk back into the school building. Tezuka and Saori dismissed their respective teams and went to their classrooms and to Tezuka's luck his cousins didn't seem to be in the area anymore. After class all the tennis members headed back to the courts for tennis practice while Tezuka and Saori helped the school librarian in arranging some books in the library.

"Where's the next book?" Saori as she sat in the ladder placing the books in the shelves while Tezuka was the one carrying the books and handing it to Saori. Yuri on the other hand was strolling around the school building but stopped on her tracks when a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"You're Tezuka's cousin right?" A familiar smiling face was plastered on the person that approached Yuri.

"Yes..why?.." But Yuri returned the look with a curious one.

"Just interested that's all. Are you looking for Tezuka? I saw him in the library."

"Thanks…" Yuri immediately walked away but stopped and looked at person behind her but before she could ask the student pointed his finger to direct Yuri to the library.

As Saori was placing more books in the shelves two students on the other side were making a bit of ruckus but both Saori and Tezuka didn't do anything for they know that the school librarian will handle it.

"Hey this one doesn't belong here." Saori took a book from the shelf and went down the ladder a few steps while Tezuka climbed a bit higher than Saori.

"How can that be?" Tezuka took the book and looked at it then all of a sudden the two students bumped the shelf causing the ladder and the shelf to shake. Books started to fall from the shelf and Saori slipped making her fall down but before she hits the floor Tezuka immediately grabbed her by the waist followed by a loud thud. Yuri finally found the library and as she heard the loud thud from inside she slides the door open and saw Tezuka who was above Saori and were staring at each other deeply.

"AHH! What's going on here! What do you think you're doing to Onii-chan!" Tezuka immediately stood up followed by Saori whose face was blushing.

"I wasn't doing anything! We both fell, got it!"

"I don't believe you! You were taking advantage of Onii-chan!"

"No I wasn't!"

"Then why is your face red!"

"It's none of your business." Saori defend while Tezuka sighed in annoyance.

"None of my business my butt, It's my business cause Onii-chan is involved! Get it old hag!"

"What was that!"

"You heard me OLD HAG!"

"Why you jerk!"

"That's enough both of you!" Tezuka demanded while both girls looked at Tezuka who looked angry. "We're inside the library so both of you should know that silence should be observed here."

"Sumimasen Tezuka-kun." Saori calmly apologized while Yuri irritatingly looked away.

"Now I want the both of you to apologize to the head librarian at once and then Yuri you should go look for Yuffie so that you two can head home. And Saori I want you to head on for club practice now, I'll clean this up on my own."

"But Tezuka-kun…."

"Immediately!" Both girls just kept silent walked towards the head librarian to apologize and left the room. But before Saori could walk away Yuri looked at her.

"I won't let you have Onii-chan! You hear me!" With that Yuri stumped away to look for Yuffie. While Saori just looked at Yuri and can't help but wonder on what she got herself into.

"Seriously….but during that time…. My heart wouldn't stop beating." Saori thought as she remembered what happened earlier with a sigh Saori started to walk towards the tennis courts.
