A/N: Ack. I went away for a week.. so..

"So... how is it?" Inui and Renji had their notebooks open, pen in hand. Sliding a slight glance to the other, it was a challenge. Of course, Renji's eyes were closed and Inui's eyes were covered by his glasses, so everyone else at hand didn't know that.

"Atobe-san," Saeki began. "I can help Fuji out only during the weekends. I'm afraid Rokkaku isn't that a convenient place to Seigaku."

"Inui, which other schools are the nearest to Seishun Gakuen?" Atobe gaze flitted off Saeki and unto him.

Inui smirked slightly. Inui: 1, Renji:0.

"Fudomine is the nearest. Then comes in Hyotei, St. Ruldpoh, Rikkaidai, Rokkaku, Yamabuki, Higa-chuu and Shitenhouji... if you want to include them, that is."

Atobe nodded slightly and snapped his fingers. "Oshitari, report," He ordered.

"From the data I borrowed from Renji,"

Renji merely glanced at his childhood friend. Inui:1, Renji:1.

"From Seigaku, only Tezuka and Inui. From Hyotei.. you and me. From Rikkaidai, Platinum Pair, Sanada and Yukimura. From St. Ruldpoh, Yuuta, since he's Fuji's younger brother. And probably their manager as well. He could be a great distraction for Fuji. From Rokkaku, Saeki's just about the only person. Yamabuki… Renji calculated that maybe Sengoku could help. From Higa-chuu.. no one. And from Shitenhouji…"

"Shiraishi." Tezuka finished, and Oshitari nodded.

"Wait a second," Saeki blinked confusedly. "What are you guys talking about?"

"The people whom are about remotely useful in helping Fuji," Niou answered deadpanned, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Not that any of us are actually helping," Yagyuu waved off Niou's hands which kept touching his hair.

A ringtone sounded throughout the room and everyone rushed for their own hand phones.

"Nope, not mine."

"No, isn't mine."

"Nah, not me."

"It's mine." Yukimura stated calmly, smiling at everyone else who had their phones in their hands. "It's so interesting to see everyone fumble about cluelessly."

"Why don't you just say it outright that they're idiots?" Sanada muttered under his breath.

"Did you say something Genchirou?" Yukimura turned on his mega watt smile.

Sanada audibly gulped and shook his head. "Er.. . don't you want to pick up your call?"

"You're right," Yukimura pulled out his phone from his pocket and flipped it open.

Sanada and Tezuka's eyes met across the room.

I know how you feel.

"Moshi, moshi?"

"BUCHOU!!!"

"Oh, it's Akaya-chan!" (Niou said this)

"What is it?"

"Niou-senpai said that if I took Marui-senpai's gum, I might find the reason why he's a tensai. AND NOW MARUI-SENPAI'S AFTER ME BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED HIS LAST STICK OF BUBBLEGUM!!"

"Shh, not so loud Akaya." Yukimura held the phone away from his ear as Sanada cringed and snatched the phone.

"AKAYA!"

"FUKUBUCHOU!! MARUI-SENP- wait. You're with Buchou? SO NIOU-SENPAI WAS RIGHT! YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH BUCHOU!!"

Sanada nearly dropped the phone in shock if not for Yukimura who took it back.

"Yes Akaya, you're disturbing us. Tell Marui that if he causes you bodily harm then he'll have to run laps."

"Okay, buchou."

Yukimura ended the call. Sanada turned his eyes onto Niou. Niou laughed nervously.

"You'll protect me, right, Hiroshi-chan?"

"Not a chance in hell."

The same ringtone sounded again and Atobe sighed in annoyance. "Yukimura, we know it's yours. Pick it up."

Yukimura pouted for a spilt second but complied.

"Moshi moshi?"

"BUCHOU!!"

Everyone slapped their foreheads. It was Akaya.. again.

"MARUI-SENPAI ISN'T CHASING ME ANYMORE!!"

"Akaya!"

"YES, BUCHOU!"

"Softer."

"OK. I MEAN, okay."

"So, what did you call for?"

"Niou-senpai says that if I'm curious about something then I should ask straight away, because he says 'curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back'."

"Go on,"

"I wanted to know why Niou-senpai is with buchou and fukubuchou. I heard his voice just now."

"Akaya," Yukimura smiled a secret smile. "You remember Fuji-kun? The one with the blue eyes."

"You mean the real tensai from Seigaku who told me that I'm loads better than the Miluki from St. Rudolph even if I look like him and cause bodily harm?"

"Yes. He's having a slight problem, we're helping him."

"Oh."

"Yes."

"Buchou, if he can't solve it then shouldn't he ask his teacher?"

"It's not a math pro- Actually, you're right. Thank you, Akaya."

"Buchou? Buch-"

Yukimura kept his phone.

"Do know that Akaya's going to call you again right?" Yagyuu pointedly stared at Yukimura.

"I'll deal with him later. Now," Yukimura turned on Tezuka. "Have you ever tried asking your teachers? I mean if Fuji-kun's causing that big of a problem then shouldn't the school take action?"

Inui and Renji paused in their note taking of whatever and looked up.

"Why… didn't we think of that?"

"You mean you guys didn't try that?" Oshitari raised an eyebrow. "I thought it was the first thing you guys would have already done."

He scanned the room and realized that he wasn't a tensai for nothing. Everyone else never thought of it. Oshitari sighed.

"Well then, Tezuka, tell us how it goes. Gakuto is calling me." He stood up and walked out the doorway, pulling out the vibrating phone from his pocket.

Inui and Renji nodded to each other. It was still Inui: 1, Renji: 1.

A draw, for now.
