CHAPTER 17
'Apologizing party?'
"OISHI~ LOOK! TADA!" Eiji showed a paper decoration with different colors
"That's nice EIJI, could you help us bake the cake now and let Momo and Taka handle that" Oishi instructed
The Seigaku group we're all busy on the cafeteria kitchen and the whole cafeteria itself were decorating by the Seigaku
"Nani, nani? What's going on here?" Kintarou ask as the Shintehouji enter the cafeteria ground "AHHH! KOSHIMAE!" Kintarou ran out to Echizen who's on Momoshirou's shoulder pinning the decoration on the ceilings
"KOSHIMAE KOSHIMAE LETS HAVE A MATCH"
"Ughh~ Go away, I'm busy" Echizen groan shooing Kintarou from his view who's jumping up and down to reach him
"HURRY UP ECHIZEN YOU'RE HEAVY" Momos whine
"What's with all the ruckus?" Shiraishi ask brushing his hair with his bandage arm
"We are preparing an apologizing party for Asami-chan" Fuji answered
"A party? You're still going to continue it…even though that girl really is The Legendary Demon king?" Kenya ask quite bluntly
There's a silence in the room
"We will continue it" Tezuka answer while entering the room with some groceries "here's the milk and other ingredients, Fuji"
"Oohh~ Tezuka-kun is so Cool~" Kaoru exclaim femininely
"KAORU, ARE YOU BETRAYING ME" Yuuji said with a hurtful expression, he was ignored though by Kaoru who's busy ogling at Tezuka
"I don't get it" Kenya whine as Shiraishi gave a gentle smile
"Ahh~ Ecstasy~" Shiraishi said as he grab some decoration and walk to the group
"Nani Nani? SHIRAISHI ARE YOU HELPING? UWAHH I'M GOING TO HELP KOSHIMAE TOO" Kintarou said and ran after Shiraishi
"What? Just happened?" Kenya ask to the others but no one's there, everyone on his team already join the group to help "W-ha- Geez fine! I'm going to help too"
The others namely Yuuta… St. Rudolf, Rokkaku, Fudomine who enter the cafeteria was convinced to help as well.
The Rikkaidai soon after came…
"What's going on here?(plop)" Marui was the first to ask as they observe the busy groups preparing the party
"NO no NO! KIN-ChAN DON'T EAT THAT!" Kaoru shouted running after Kintarou with Yuuji, who's trying to eat some of the party food
"Aniki, what's this!" Yuuta pointed at the wasabi shushi prepared on the center
"That's wasabi shushi, Yuuta" Fuji smile and reply
"No one will eat that but you!"
"Ahaha I know"
"Care to add this as well" Inui pop out, from nowhere showing some delicate Inui's juice
"GET THAT JUICE AWAY FROM THERE!" Almost everyone who knows what Inui's juice taste like shouted except for Fuji of course
"What are they doing? Puri" Niou ask again, but as the busy group continue, the Rikkai dai were left wondering
"According to my data, they are preparing a party for Asami-san to apologies for accusing her on being demon king" Yanagi infrom
"Wha- that's stupid" Akaya protest "Why do they have to make a party for her, to apologies…that's a stupid reason, she is the DEMON KING, so why do they have to apologies accusing her, if we we're right in the first place"
"I second the motion, this brat" Marui supported ruffling Akaya's permy hair
"Its unacceptable" Sanada also added
"What's happening here?" Shisidou ask with the whole Hyotei team arriving
"There's seem to be some sort of party" Yuushi said adjusting his glasses
"What are they doing, they should be preparing for Ore-sama's dinner not some commoners party, ne Kabaji?" Atobe said arrogantly
"Ussu" The big guy just agreed
"Woah~ they prepare a lot of food" Chotorou added "Maybe we should help them"
"For what?" Shisidou ask
"I mean… aren't they preparing for Asami-san's party? Maybe we should cooperate"
"Why, we don't even know why they are making this party anyway" Shisidou protest
"They are making it to apologies to Demon King" Akaya got irritated answer it for them
"Apologies? For what?" Gakuto ask
"For accusing she's the demon king puri" Niou answer
"She IS the Demon King, so why bother?" Shisidou said
"THAT'S WHAT I SAID and Don't ask us, we have nothing to do with this…The Seigaku started it… and everyone just seem to help out with it" Akaya said
"Ore-sama really don't see the point here…" Atobe spoke "That Demon King left earlier so why bother with this party"
Everyone I mean… Everyone stop and pause on their job when they heard that
"L-left? What do you mean left?" Shiraishi ask
"Now that you mention it Atobe…I did see her earlier when climbing down the window before I arrived here" Yukimura also supported Atobe's theory
Everyone look at each other
"Where did you see her, Atobe" Tezuka was the first one to walk to Atobe and ask with a stern look
"Ore-sama's just happen to see her out the window"
"Are you sure?" Oishi can't help but to join ask worriedly
"Are you doubting Ore-sama's eye sight" Atobe said arrogantly
There's a silence one's again as those information sink in
"You better check her room now, Tezuka" Yukimura suggested seriously and on that cue
Tezuka along with Shiraishi, Oishi and other curious/ worried pair went to see her
SLAM!
They arrived on the room and saw it was empty
"She's gone" Fuji said as he open his eyes in seriousness
Tezuka ran up to the closet and look for her and saw she's gone… along with her clothes but left the gallon of ice cream there
"She's running away again" Tezuka look behind and saw Echizen looking up to him when he said that. Then he showed a note saying:
DON'T LOOK FOR ME
ps: especially you COLONEL
Reading this the RAIN pour outside along with the thunder
BOOM!
"Tezuka, what are we going to do" Oishi ask worriedly
"Its pouring hard outside, we are going to have hard time looking for her" Shiraishi added
"I'm going to look for her" Tezuka simply said running outside
"OI WAIT TEZUKA" Oishi shouted as they all follow
When they arrived back to the ground floor, everyone was surprise and stammered on Tezuka's sudden behavior. He ran down the stairs without even glancing on anyone he grab an umbrella and run
"W-what? Where is bonchou going?" Momo ask
"OISHI?NYA WHAT HAPPENED?" Eiji ask, Oishi arrived worried
"Asami-san ran away…TEZUKA IS RUNNING AFTER HER" Oishi declare
"WHAT? IN THIS RAIN?" Eiji exclaim
SWOOOSHHH~
They we're all just surprise when Echizen slide down the stairs and hurriedly grab his jersey and ran out the dorm without EVEN CARRYING AN UMBRELLA
"OI OCHIBI!"
"MATAKU~ why is everybody acting so reckless" Tachibana said
"I can accept Echizen, he is type of person to act before thinking anyways but Seigaku's captain…that's rare" Shinji murmur glancing on the worried group
"We have to help them" Taka proclaim
"Fsussshhh in this rain, we have to split to group" Kaidoh added
They all nodded a diverse a plan to look for Richiyo
"That's pointless" Akaya's strong voice echo
"I agree…There's no point looking for someone who keeps running away" Yukimura surprisingly added
"Ore-sama refuse to cooperate as well" Atobe said flipping his hair "If that girl really is the Demon King, then I'm not looking after Ore-sama's rival"
"What's wrong with you guys, can't you see… Tezuka is looking for Asami-san not because of this Demon king thing…" Taka-san surprisingly spoke up gaining all attention to him
"T-that's right, I believe Tezuka didn't ran after Asami-san just because of this… really, how could still look at Asami-san as a Demon King even outside the court" Oishi supported Taka-san's word
"What are you talking about, That Girl is that Demon King" Shishidou added
"Even how many times you look at it, she is that person who lives in the street, who owns that torn up court on street 30, who challenge almost everyone of us on court and crush our own pride, She's that rival…I agree" Mizuki also added, increasing the tense atmosphere on the argument
Making Fuji glare back down Mizuki
There's a silence at that~
Eiji ran out the door catching everyone's attention
"E-eiji-senpai" Momo called in surprise, Eiji stop right on the door
"What they say is true…Even I nyah~ I was afraid of Demon King when I use to play tennis on the street… but you know… after I watch Demon-chan..no, after I watch Richiyo-chan on the court earlier, I realize…" Eiji look back with a serious face we all rarely see
"Richiyo is still a girl, even how many times you look at it….outside the court, she's just an ordinary girl trying to find where she fit in and trying to adjust… and I understand why she wants to run away…she doesn't want to be treated like this, anymore" Everyone was surprise on Eiji's words… they were serious and his eyes glow as turn away and disappear on the door
Fuji can't help but give an approving smile to Eiji as well as Oishi
"Way the go Eiji senpai" Momo cheered
"Fsuushh" Kaidoh smirk seeing all dumbfounded face
"Iie data, Kikumura can be serious at a time, I have to remember that" Inui murmur jotting down notes
"Lets go after them…" Fuji said as they all agree "Lead the way Taka-san" He handed the racket
"BURRRRNIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGGG GET OUT MY WAY YOU COLD HEARTED JERKS I'M GONNA SAVE A LITTLE GIRL YAHHHH~~~ BABY"
With this the whole Seigaku team ran after Eiji
"K-kin-chan?" The Shitenhouji was surprise when Kintarou soon follow without a word, Shiraishi with a determine look soon followed
Everyone soon followed as well
Rikkai dai and Hyotei were left behind…
Choutoru wasn't able to take it and bow his head to Atobe as apologies
"I'm sorry bonchou b-but I'm going to go look for her as well" Shisidou was surprise at this
"O-oi"
Yukimura on the other hand also gave a low sigh
"Well… I must say…Kikumaru has a point there" Yukimura murmur and glance at Sanada
Sanada also nodded getting the signal
"YOsh, EVERYONE we're going to look for Asami, I hear no objection" Sanada ordered "We're going to split to groups to bring her back"
"W-what?" Akaya protest but he was ignored and was drag along anyway
Atobe's group were the only one's left now, Atobe who's prideful enough stood still
"Atobe, what's your plan" Yuushi ask
Atobe who ignored this sat on the dining room, everyone soon follow except from Choutorou and Shisidou who soon follow
There's a minute of silence as Atobe calmly grab his phone, obviously has an annoyed expression all over his face
"This is Ore-sama…. Call a search committee and look for a girl who has long black hair, white skin, red eyes here in Shibuya…. And take her to Ore-sama now…of course Ore-sama knows her name…"
The rest of the Hyotei member especially Yuushi can't help but amusingly watch this
"… Her name is Asami Richiyo"
TBC.
