I decided to put a little fun in this chapter after watching Prince of Tennis OVA episode 20. It was the most hilarious thing I've ever watched and Ryoma's face was priceless! I recommend that you watch it. Just don't die of laughter. xDD
"Inui, is the plan set?" Akiyo asked the data collector.
"Hn, now we must execute it," Inui said, adjusting his glasses which gave a shiny glint. He did have a plan but nobody knew what he had in store for everyone.
"Right-o," Eiji nodded and started dialing on his cellphone. The first plan was to call Fuji while Benjiro took care of calling Sakuno and invited them to a party in Kawamura's sushi restaurant. It was reserved for the night just for them.
Kiruma took care of spying on the regulars' buchous just in case they found out about their plan. Meanwhile, Inui slipped away and prepared a certain liquid. He smirked as he switched Tezuka's water bottle with another one that was filled with his newly made Inui Juice. It was sort of pinkish but gave off a sour smell that would make anyone gag.
"Inui, what are you doing here?"
He whipped around and saw Tezuka. Smiling confidently, he said, "Ah, Tezuka. I was just getting something. You seem dehydrated. Why don't you drink up?"
Inui tossed the bottle at Tezuka and caught it with ease considering he had great reflexes. For a second, he looked at Inui in suspicion but didn't object and drank a gulp.
Hehehehehe, inside Inui's mind, a sadistic laughter came out of nowhere. He was pleased to see that his juice worked when Aniko came busting in the scene and demanded, "Tezuka-san, have you by any chance seen my-"
She was cut shot when Tezuka ran up to her and grabbed her hand. "Would you go out with me? I will not let my guard down."
Aniko stared at him as if he'd been smoking. Then, with her clenched fist, she swung it at Tezuka's face but missed. She blinked, wondering how she could possibly have missed when she realized that Tezuka fell to the floor.
"Tezuka-san? Hey, what's wrong? Wake up!" Aniko tried to shake him awake and glared up at Inui. "Is this the doing of one of your doing again?"
He gulped and without a second thought he ran away despite the raging roars of the terrifying buchou. Never mess with Rukia's captain.
"Oi, Inui! Where have you been?" Akiyo asked when Inui came into view gasping for breath. He explained to them that he had to pick up his materials and made it as convincing as possible. They believed it and went on with the second plan. Once the bell rang all of them ran to the restaurant and began to make preparations.
"According to my data, they should be here approximately 50 minutes later if everything goes according to plan," Inui informed. As they worked, he secretly slipped into the kitchen and saw the bowl filled with fruit punch. He laughed silently to himself and slipped a quarter of his strong made juice into the bowl. Then he made his way back and pretending to do some of the preparations.
"Hehehe, 90 percent chance my plan would go well," he said to himself with a smirk.
"A-Ano, Shusuke-kun, don't you think the senpais are acting…differently?" Sakuno asked.
"Saa, they've always been like that," Fuji replied, smiling at her. He could sense that they were planning something and the invitation was probably a part of it. Sakuno was surprised as well when she received a call from Benjiro.
"I think this is going to be fun," he said to her.
"C'mon guys! Pick up the speed!" Akiyo commanded. Eiji and Juro were hanging a large sign that said "Welcome!" but behind the sign was another that said "Fuji plus Sakuno equals love." It was Akiyo who thought of it and since no one else could think of any they decided to go with it. It was corny, but it would have to do.
"Juro, where are the buchous?" he asked. Juro merely shrugged and didn't want to tell them about their captain's wrath. Fortunately for Inui, he hadn't seen him switch the bottles with one of his own that contained his evil juice.
"Damn, Inui, I'll kill him for this," Aniko growled as she dragged a sleeping Tezuka across the school grounds to reach the clinic.
"Just what the hell was he thinking?"
"We should drink up before they get here," Kawamura suggested and started serving people the fruit punch. They accepted gladly and took one gulp. All except Inui of course.
That's when Sakuno opened the door and everyone turned their attention towards her.
Her eyes went wide and she screamed.
"Sakuno! I love you!"
She held onto Fuji's hand and didn't dare look behind her. Loud footsteps could be heard and it was as if the ground was shaking as the two were being chased.
"Come back my dear!"
Why were they all acting this way? And Fuji's face seemed to show more emotions as the regulars confessed their love to her. They turned to a corner and quickly entered a store with barely any people.
"Don't get involved in my love life!"
"Shut up! I'm trying to find the girl of my dreams!"
"She's mine!"
"No, mine!"
They continued to argue until they passed by the store where Fuji and Sakuno were hiding. The two sighed in relief as the footsteps faded away.
"Shusuke-kun, why are they acting like that?" she asked, still a little bit shaken.
He put a finger to his chin. "I think Inui has something to do about this."
"I think so too," someone said beside them. They almost gasped but realized that it was Juro, Keiji, Akiyo, and Oishi.
"Eh? What are you guys doing here?" Sakuno asked, becoming aware just in case they were also chasing after her.
"We followed you guys. Don't worry, we didn't drink the juice," Juro said when he saw Sakuno's face. She relaxed a little.
"Yeah, we noticed Inui laughing silently to himself when we were about to drink the juice. I thought it must've been one of his so I pretended to drink," Akiyo said.
"Very good. You saw through me," a voice came from the other side of Sakuno. To their surprise, it turned out to be Inui. At first, everyone was silent. But Akiyo raised his finger at Inui and screamed.
"GET HIM!"
"Hpmh! 100 percent you were going to attack me," Inui said, pointing his water gun at them. Except that it was his Inui juice that was inside and caused them to stop from tying him up.
"Of course we were going to attack you, you bastard!" Keiji yelled pointing at him. Sakuno laughed nervously when the people turned to stare at them.
"It was just a part of my experiment," Inui adjusted his glassed and was soon face-to-face with a smiling Fuji. But there was something different. His aura was darker and Inui could feel it very strongly. Still, the tensai kept the smile on his face though something deadly hid behind.
"Inui," he said his name, his tone very dark. "Would you please cure them back?"
Inui gulped and started to sweat. "O-Of course."
Fuji's smile turned very bright that it almost made Inui blind. The others didn't think it was even possible. "Arigatou, Inui. Saa, should we help you?"
Actually, what Fuji meant was "I'll leave you to suffer." At least to Inui it did. He could perfectly see the slight twitching on Fuji's eyes, his smile that hid a raging beast, and the two clenched hands. Based on his information, Inui could tell that...
Fuji was jealous.
"Bwahahahaha!" Inui's maniacal laughter suddenly came out of nowhere making them all flinch. "This is perfect data…for blackmailing that is."
"Might I ask what you're talking about?" Fuji said, keeping himself calm.
Inui only flashed his glasses at him and smirked. "It's about time we cure them." He took out another water gun and laughed slightly. Everyone stared at him weirdly.
"Behold, my Antidote 101!" he announced. "One blast of this and it'll turn them back to normal."
"Inui, will it…'hurt' them?" Oishi asked, concerned for their safety in case Inui's juice was filled with 'harmful' ingredients. He hoped that it wouldn't cause them all to black out.
"Of course not," Inui answered with a malicious grin. But of course no one took his word for it.
"Saa, let's head out then," Fuji said and headed out of the store with Sakuno behind him. As soon as she stepped out she was instantly tackled to the floor…once again.
"Sakuno! I've finally found you my love!" Momo cried.
That's when something erupted.
Sakuno felt the weight lift off her and almost gasped when she saw Fuji grabbing the regulars by the collar and pushed them behind. His eyes were bursting with flames and the regulars seemed to notice for they were backing away.
"Attack!" Akiyo roared and Inui blasted his gun at all the regulars. Eiji fell to the floor and squirmed as he gagged. Everyone was screaming when they felt the taste of the horrifying antidote. Soon, all of them were lying on the floor as Fuji helped Sakuno up.
It was Kaidoh who awoke first. He was dumbfounded when he saw everyone around him. "What happened?"
One by one they all started to wake up. As soon as they did, Akiyo pointed at Inui and yelled, "He poisoned your drinks and almost caused Sakuno her innocence!"
Huh? Sakuno stared at Akiyo in confusion but noticed the regulars being surrounded with dark aura like Fuji's as they cornered Inui.
"Now, now…let's not get hasty," Inui said nervously but they all tossed their balls in the air and raised their racquets.
"AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
"Fuji, would you like to hear some interesting information I've collected recently?" Inui held up his green notebook. His face was covered with bandages and his left arm was covered with a cast. All the others went back to the restaurant with Sakuno complaining how their plan was ruined and Inui stayed behind with Fuji to discuss about a matter.
"Ah, depends on what type it is," Fuji replied. Inui knew he was still a bit mad and took caution.
"Well, the juice was all part of my brilliant plan," he boasted with a grin. "And I've noticed something about your behavior."
Fuji turned his head at him slightly and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What about my behavior?"
"It seems that…" Inui paused dramatically and savored the moment. Fuji could only guess what he was going to say next.
"It seems that you're in love with Sakuno."
"Achoo!" Sakuno sneezed. They all turned towards her and she blushed.
"Someone's talking about you," Momo said. She denied saying that it was just a superstition but Kaidoh believed it wasn't. After all, he was very superstitious.
"You know, I feel like we're forgetting about someone," Eiji said, putting a finger on his chin.
Indeed they have for Aniko was running around Seishun Gakuen as a love lust Tezuka ran after her.
"AHHHHH! INUI YOU BASTARD!"
UWAAAAAH! I'm truly sorry if the characters were OOC. Well, Inui is an exception.
After all, he tortured Seigaku with all his terrible juices. I watched the Angry Fuji episode and I thought it was so cute when Fuji was mad. I know it's weird, but I can't help it. Everything he does is just so….well, adorable. O.O I loved that special picture at the end where Fuji is surrounded with dark aura and Kirihara is scared to hell. Oh yeah, I thought it was amusing if Tezuka would really act like that. xD
I'll stop my ramblings but I'm glad I was able to finish this chapter. It was fun but I'm not sure it'll be for you. Um…stay tuned for the next chapter.
