Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of tennis
Chapter 11: The other team and plans.
"Well, well if it's the commoners..."
Ryoma looked up to see a group of eight men standing not far from Saeki. He turned to Fuji to see Sapphire blues eyes showing.
"Ne... Syuusuke-senpai who are they?" Ryoma asked slightly confused.
"Who are we? We are the tennis team of hoya High school. The real team."
"Hoya... Is that not the school you g to Syuusuke-senpai?"
"Hai Ryo-chan."
"What do they mean Real team? They don't even have matching uniforms. All Teams must have matching uniforms to compete in the regional, national and all other games in between. It's the third rule in the book." Ryoma said slightly confused.
"Demo Koneko, they DON'T compete... Not at our level anyway." Syuusuke said quietly leaning into him slightly.
"YOUR level is below us. Remember that Peasant."
"...Why are you calling Syuusuke-senpai a peasant? He is one of the more wealthier students just by his photos."
"How did you know that Koneko?"
"Who do you think sponsors you?"
"Kayoko... Koneko! Why did you …..."
"Because I like your photo's Shu-senpai. Okaa-san and I sponsor many young artists or companies. Taka-san's dad's sushi restaurant, your photo displays, Youth tennis clubs and Karate clubs. Then there is Oyaji's company that he and Ryoga run in their spare time."
"OI! Don't ignore us!"
"... Mada mada Da ne." Ryoma said turning away from them. One of the men went to pull Ryoma only to fine Syuusuke and Kunimitsu standing in front of him.
"Touch him and I will hurt you." Kunimitsu and Syuusuke said together. Ryoga walked up t them and looked down his nose at them.
"Touch my otooto and I will put you in the hospital." Ryoga said making the guy in front of him quiver in fear.
"Why should we not touch the boy?"
"Touching him will cause you a world of pain and our Okaa-san will personally see that you are sued if you cause him any harm." Ryoga and Kevin said.
Syuusuke directed Ryoma away from them when he heard something to his right he saw a familiar man standing there.
"Ore-sama doesn't like the sound of that."
"Oro, Monkey King... Why you here?"
"I heard you were back. And I came to see if the rumour's were true."
"Well they are. Kevin-kun is also came."
"...Smith-kun. It has been a while."
"Aa, How have you been Atobe-san?"
"Not bad, not bad. However I haven't seen any of you at the games recently." Atobe said turning to Kunimitsu.
"Atobe..."
"They wouldn't be there they aren't even on the tennis team." the arrogant young man from before said.
"...Did I permit you to talk to me, peasant? Ore-sama doesn't even remember acknowledging you. Tezuka, who are these peasants?"
"They are the people that are currently in charge of the tennis club at Hoya. They are the ones that made sure we couldn't compete for the past two years."
"... These low life peasants are the leaders of the tennis club? How can this be? They are not every... how do I put it... Tennis like."
"I said the same." Ryoma said.
"then why are they in charge of the tennis club?"
"Money, power, family. Take your pick."
"...they can't have as much money as any of you."
"I said the same as well so they must have connections on the school committee. That's probably how they are in charge of the tennis club... Kuni-senpai I have an idea. We should head to my house. Nanako-san said she would cook us a large meal today. All my team is invited. Minna gomen but we don't have that much space so we will see you soon hai?"
"Aa, brat. See you soon."
"Monkey king..." Ryoma muttered under his voice. He picked up his bag and turned to Kunimitsu to see him looking at the other team. "Boucho ikko. We shouldn't waste time on them."
"Koneko is right Kuni-kun. Besides I think you will enjoy the idea that Koneko has come up with."
"How would you know what the chibi is thinking?" The arrogant captain asked before realising that they were not listening to him but leaving.
Ryoma and Takeshi lead them all to Ryoma's house. As they entered they saw a white and black blur heading towards Ryoma. Ryoma dropped his bag and caught the white and black blur which turned out to be Ryoma's cat, Karupin.
"Karupin." Ryoma said softly as he began petting him gently as he entered the hall way leaving his bag in the doorway. Ryoga laughed before picking up the bag and putting it to the side.
"Come on in. just leave your shoes there and grab a pair of slippers. Okka-san, Tadaima."
"Orkaira Ryoga-kun, Kevin-kun, Ryoma-chan."
"Ryoma won't answer 'Kaa-san. He's busy petting Karupin."
"Sheesh, that boy never changes... Orr, who is this?"
"Senpai-tachi." Kevin replied.
"Heh, there is so many of you."
"It would have been more had minna had their way." Ryoga replied. "Chibisuke said something about them having a get together soon but somewhere else as we didn't have enough room to sit everyone."
"Good I don't want the house run through by kids... Well go into the living room dinner will be soon."
Kunimitsu blinked. "That is Echizen Nanjirou? He is everything Ryoma said he would be."
"This is him on his best behaviour. Ryoma threatened him when he suggested bringing you all over."
"Threatened him?"
"Ryoma has threatened to burn all of his magazines and stop all subscriptions and asked all the shop owners and staff to not sell him any of the magazines."
"Magazines?"
"He is a hentai... Major. He even reads it in the morning in front of our cousin." Ryoga said as he showed them into the living room. They found Ryoma leaning against a sofa. Kunimitsu and Syuusuke quickly sat either side of Ryoma and made him feel safe. Kevin lay on the ground in front of the table while Ryoga leant against the table. Oishi and Eiji shared a chair while the rest found somewhere else to sit. Karupin looked up at Syuusuke as he placed a hand on Ryoma's head.
"Nya."
"Kawaii." Syuusuke said as he petted Karupin on his head. Only when he got a loud purr from Karupin was it that Ryoma looked up at him.
"How... How did you know his favourite spot?"
"I don't know I just scratched behind his ear."
"That cat is weird." Nanjirou said from his position on the last chair.
"No he just doesn't like you teasing him. If you would treat him nicely then he wouldn't bite you or scratch you. 'Kaa-san, what's for dinner?"
"I need you to make your sushi, Nanako-chan is making Tempura and I am making Tonkatsu (Tonkatsu are deep fried pork cutlets, served with either shredded cabbage or rice.)"
"...Echizen-kun's Sushi?"
"Aa, Ryoma-chan is the best at making sushi in the family. He is one f the few that picks anything up after seeing it twice." Rinko explained. Ryoma stood and handed Karupin to Syuusuke before going to the kitchen. Taka-san followed Ryoma into the kitchen to see how he made Sushi. Taka came out five minutes later looking stunned.
"Taka-san?"
"Sugoi deus. Ryoma-kun sugoi deus. He is very fast at making Sushi and made them look like they are from a top chef." Taka-san said as he sat back down.
"Aa, Ryoma-chan is our prodigy. However he hates it when we point it out to him."
"Okaa-san, sushi's ready and in the fridge." Ryoma said coming back into the room.
"Okay Nanako-chan and I will take over now." Rinko said as the two females stood up. The males all started talking about tennis.
"Ne Ryo-chan, what was your idea?"
"Oh! Okay, first off how much do we need to run the club?"
"Roughly 550,000 yen."
"Okay. Then Kevin and I have a suggestion. We will split what is in our bank accounts by half and put it into a bank account and that account will be given to Tezuka Kunimitsu, who will have control of the bank account for everything for the club. Ah, don't speak yet." Ryoma said as Kunimitsu opened his mouth. "After we do that we challenge the other team. Once the agree, and they will, we get Oyaji to train us for the future competitions that we will have after we beat the other team. We will need signatures from the current students that want to join the club but can't I know all the first years will want to... could we go Co-ed?"
"Co-ed?"
"Er... of Mixed tennis. Mae and Female..."
"Chotto, Ryo-chan, if we do that then it will be a bit more and there is only one changing room."
"No mixed clubs are the same the only problem I see is the changing rooms however we will need to talk to Aka-San."
"Aka-San?" all of the club members asked.
"oh... er she is Headmistress of the school and my aunt..."
"Honto?"
"Aa, demo I don't think she remembers me."
"She will when she sees you. Baka iboshimai-chan." Nanjirou muttered.
"... Wait she is your younger sister?"
"Half sister but sister any way."
"Oke. Anyway If we join the clubs together then there is more chance that there will be a lot more people signing up. If there are girls that want to compete then we can assign a female teichou and fuko-teichou. They will help with the rankings however all training will be together... Ryoga nii-san will need to help us as well." Ryoma said looking to Ryoga who nodded. "any way after we have set up the clubs I would hope we could recruit more into the clubs just not those that look down on other players... so we have the money for the cub, equipment, coach and sign up sheets... anything else?"
"Not that I can think of." Kunimitsu said. "Inui?"
"No that is everything."
"Any questions?"
"Aa, just how much are we talking?" Takeshi asked.
"Well, if I don't half my account then I could have a mansion in every country without having a mortgage to repay. If I half it then I could buy a American mansion and not have to work for at least ten years. So if I half mine and Kevin halves his the cub should be able to run for ten to twelve years if the tennis balls are replaced twice a year and nets the same. If it is more then you are talking eight or nine."
"*Whistle* that is a lot of money."
"That's not including his inheritance."
"Inheritance?"
"Aa, He is the heir to Kayoko and the Echizen companies. Ryoga can't inherit as his mother and I didn't marry however he can get twenty percent of the company as he is my son."
"... Do they not need heirs to carry on the line?"
"No. I know my boys don't like females. Known since we were here the first time. I can't really force them to marry a woman no matter how much I would like a daughter-in law, instead I will end up with four son-in laws."
"...Four?"
"Aa, Four."
"Nanjirou-kun." Rinko said in a dangerous coming into the living room.
"R-Rinko-san..."
"Not another word."
"H-hai."
"Dinner is ready please take a seat around the table." Rinko said indicating to the larger table in the room next to them.
Nanjirou took his position at the head of the table with Ryoga next to him then Kunimitsu, Ryoma, Syuusuke, Oishi, Eiji, Nanako, Rinko, Inui, Kaido, Taka, Takeshi and Saeki. Nanako served rice for everyone while Rinko placed the Tonkatsu in front f them. The sushi was in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves as was the tempura.
Syuusuke started putting sushi on Ryoma's plate and took Kunimitsu's and started doing the same.
"... Fuji-kun, why are you..."
"Oh, Gomen, I tend to do this for my siblings in the house."
"Aa."
"Syuusuke-senpai, Kunimitsu-senpai, I made something for you." Ryoma said before standing up and going to the fridge. He puled two boxes out before returning to the dinning area. He paced the boxes on the table before handing one to each of them. Kunimitsu looked at the box before looking at Ryoma and back again. Syuusuke opened it and gasped.
"Y... You made this for me Ryo-chan?"
"Aa." Ryoma said blushing slightly. Syuusuke placed the box down before puling Ryoma into a hug.
"Arigatou Ryo-chan."
Kunimitsu opened his and a soft smile appeared on his face.
"Arigatou Ryoma." Kunimitsu said placing it on the table and placing a hand on Ryoma's head.
"Nya? What was it that ochibi-chan made?"
"Our favourite Sushi."
"Nya! That's so sweet."
Ryoma blushed even more before turning to see Syuusuke smiling down at him. Ryoma returned the smile before turning back to his meal. Rinko and Nanako shared a smile before turning back to their own meals.
After dinner was finished and the table had been cleared Nanjirou took the boys out to the back garden.
"If we are going t train you we should get to know each other." Nanjirou said leaning against the porch support. "So who wants to go first?"
"NYA! I will. I am Kikumaru Eiji. I am seventeen years old. I am an acrobatic payer in the 'Golden Pair'. I like the colour red, brushing my teeth, pets and Oishi. My favourite foods are omelette rice, fried shrimp and Shaved ice. I have two older sisters and two older brothers. I don't like it when people get hurt playing Tennis or when people attack them."
"Hmm, oke next."
"Ano... I am Kawamura Takashi, I am a power player. I use Hadoukyuu and became the number 1 power player in Japan two years ago. My dream is to become the best Sushi chef in Japan and run the restaurant for my dad."
"Sushi man... Next."
"Inui Sadaharu. Data tennis player. The only one to beat my data play is Ryoma-kun. I have two powerful, fast serves. Sonic and Waterfall. I like creating juice and collecting data on players. Ryoma-kun and Fuji-kun are the only two I can never get accurate data on."
"Data man. Next."
"Momoshiro Takeshi. Sixteen years old. I like burgers and playing tennis I have two brothers . I am a power payer. I use a lot of dunk smashes but I also have 'insight' I have only been able to use it once since gaining it. I can pay doubles but not as well as the golden pair. My double partners are Inui-senpai and Mamushi."
"Mamushi?"
"Him." Takeshi said pointing to Kaido.
"Aa... Oke. Next."
"Oishi Shuichiro. Second part of the Golden pair..."
"Also known as the mother hen of the group."Inui added
"Aa... I have three specialist moves, moon volley drop volley and Oishi territory. Eiji and I have learnt many formations, the one we use the most is Austrailian formation. We can go into Synchronization."
"Hmm, Next."
"Kaido Kaoru, fshuuu, my favourite shot is Snake..."
"Snake?"
"Buggy Whip shot but faster." Ryoma explained.
"Ah oke."
"Boomerang Snake, short snake, reverse Snake, Tornado Snake. I can also use Hadoukyuu but add a curve to is. I train ;longer than most here. I like cats."
"... Oke. Next."
"Fuji Syuusuke. Four years old."
"Four?"
"I am a leap year baby. I was born on the twenty ninth of February. I have an older sister Yumiko and a younger brother, Yutta. I am a Tensai on the tennis court. I have nine counters. I am usually in singles but I can play doubles. Usually with Eiji and Taka-san. I like wasabi, curry, Ryoma, Kunimitsu and Yutta. I don't like anyone who hurts Ryoma, Yutta or Kunimitsu."
"... I don't want to know. Next."
"Tezuka Kunimitsu. All rounder player. I have a shot that does not bounce but spin to the net called Zero-shiki drop shot. I can also use it in a drop shot. My favourite subject is Japanese History. I like eel sushi and I don't like anyone that hurts people with tennis equipment."
"Next."
"... Oyaji, there is only me left."
"No favouritism Boya."
"Usu. Echizen Ryoma, fifteen years old. I like Karupin, ponta, buchou and Syuusuke-senpai. I don't like being woke up, English or Oyaji's taunts. I am an all rounder player and can adapt in any situation."
"Mo what about us Ryoma?" Takeshi asked.
"You are all my friends but I like like buchou and Syuusuke-senpai." Ryoma said softly. Syuusuke smiled before puling Ryoma onto his lap causing him to give a yelp of surprise.
"We like you that way too Ryo-chan." Syuusuke said softly into his ear.
The rest of the club blinked before Eiji gave a whistle and Takeshi coughed slightly.
"Wait you missed out Kevin, Ryoga and Echizen-san." Saeki said.
"... So we did. Kevin, you're up."
"Hai. Echizen-Smith Kevin. Fifteen years old. All rounder player. I like Karupin, my new family and I have a crush already. I don't like drunks and anyone that hurts my family."
"Echizen Ryoga. Twenty years old. I am an all rounder as well. I co-own Oyaji's new company and I have a dream to make Ryoma the best in the tennis world."
"Eto, Echizen Nanjirou, ex professional player. Trained by Oba-san, you will know her as Ryuzaki. Like porno magazines and looking after the shrine. Don't like Karupin or when Rinko-san takes away my magazines."
"...Hentai." Ryoma, Ryoga and Kevin said as one.
"Maa, maa Ryo-chan. Everyone has their own preference."
"Demo I don't want to see those magazines around the house." Ryoma said giving a pouting kitten look to Syuusuke. Syuusuke smiled before kissing the top of Ryoma's head before placing ryoma's head against his shoulder.
"We should be heading home now. We have school in the morning and you know how the sensei's get when we are late."
"It's our first day at Hoya high as well. We will need to tell Aka-san first thing though."
"Hai. Ja ne." Takeshi said leading most of the team out. Kunimitsu and Syuusuke looked at each other before looking at Ryoma. They stood and placed Ryoma on the ground. They all walked to the front door where Syuusuke and Kunimitsu put their shoes on before turning to Ryoma, who was looking down.
"Ryoma, as you know we are together however we want you to join us."
"Huh?"
"We want you to be our partner. You, Syuusuke and I. All three of us. We will give you as much time as you want so just think about it just now ne?"
Ryoma looked at them before blinking twice. "I don't need to think about it. I meant what I said to Oyaji and Momo-senpai. I like you like you. I want to be with you two both demo..."
"Ryoma what ever it is we will help you. We have helped before for Jirou and myself and we will do it again." Syuusuke said. Ryoma nodded.
"It may take some time but oke."
Syuusuke placed a kiss on his cheek and pulled back so Kunimitsu could do the same.
"We will be here to pick you up tomorrow morning, Ryo-chan." they said before walking out of the house towards their own houses. Ryoma blushed again before heading to his room where he collapsed onto his bed with a smile on his face.
He quickly changed in to his Pj's before falling asleep on his bed.
