Chapter IV
... They didn't lost much time, Momo and Eiji helped Kaidou and Ryoma out. Both of them lay unmoving on the floor.
"Nya! Are you two ok!?" A very worried Eiji asked while gazing at his two kouhais. Kaidou was breathing hard in front of him those two... "Hey! Echizen!" This was Momo, trying to wake up his ichinen friend, because of worries he got closer to his face... "Senpai! He is not breathing!" All three got panicky...
"Maybe he can't breath because of... what is that?!" Eiji asked his kohai irritated "A Negligee..." Kaidou answered embarrassed. "Why the heck are you wearing something like that, Mamushii?! It is not funny, it isn't!" Momo shouted out with a cracked voice.
"Do you start a fight again?!" Reacting to Momoshiros provocative words, Eiji stopped them both again. "There is no time for fighting! We need to help for Ochibi-chanya~...!" Momo put Ryoma laying on his back, then he lacerated his dress, in hopes that... would help his friend, if the dress was too tight. But the dress has nothing do to with it.
Nothing happened... Now they got really scared. "... Shouldn't we try with CPR?" Kaidou said... But neither Eiji nor Momo knew how to do that... They only one who knew how was Kaidou. Quickly Kaidou moved to Ryomas side. Kneeing he started doing the chest compression... But it didn't have any effect on him... "Ochibi-chanya~..." Eiji was already crying... Kaidou only had one option left...
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation…he was getting closer.. and closer... Only a half centimeter was missing to touch Echizens lips with his own, but before he reached him, the young boy spat out a lot of water in Kaidous face.
Momo and Eiji who followed his teammates mouth-to-mouth resuscitation cried now for joy. "Echizen!" "Ochibi" Both of them hugged their returned to life again friend and ignored totally his life savior Kaidou. "Fshhhh..." He only said while he was cleaning his face with a towel he took out of Eijis school bag...
"I-I can't breath...senpai-tachi" Ryoma said weakly and both, Momo and Eiji let him went of the hug... "Ah! I will look for something for you two nya~!" Eiji said and ran out the bathroom, Ryoma kept on the floor breathing slowly meanwhile "Nee! Mamushi..."
"What?"
"I think this green isn't your color" Momo made fun of him again.
"Fshuuu..." Kaidou answered.
"I got it nya~!" Eiji brought clothes and gave it to Kaidou and Ryoma. In his schoolbag he had a second shirt and sport shorts for them. The shorts for Ryoma, but his other t-shirt was wet through with perspiration because of the training, so he borrow him his gakuran (black japanese school uniform) jacket. "Thanks senpai..." Kaidou said while starring at Momo, with a deadly expression on his face. "So, now you shouldn't catch a cold nya~" Eiji said with a light smiling while helping the ichinen changing his clothes.
Oishi was beginning to get panic again "What we have to do is... we ... should... entering immediately t-t-the s-school..." He started hardly stammering. The events of 2 years ago let a cold shiver ran down his spine.
They walked out of the library in direction to the school main building. What they had to do was simple: Get to that black world, what the ichinen told them about. The fifth third years and three first years walked to the school and stood in the front door for a moment. "If we are lucky we will pass to the other world too." Inui said that for once didn't have any data for the situation at hands.
"Hm... Yudan sezu ni ikou!" Tezuka ordered and all of them started running to the door... and when the passed it... a very bright light blinded all of them for just some seconds. When they got back their eyesight...
"Where am I?" Oishi asked himself before he noticed... that he was separated from this other team members.
When Tezuka went forward just step by step, he crashed into... Fuji's back.
"It seems we made it through..." Fuji noticed out loud. "But we got separated from the rest." Tezuka added looking around.
They found themselves at the first floor of the Seishun Gakuen. Everything looked darker than at normal night. If the others were there too they should find them quick by just walking around. In a corner they saw something green passing the floor... and then both saw it in front of their eyes as a huge cloud of green smoke...
"Whaaaaaaaa!" They haven't been lucky at all. Inui and Taka were running for their life, the big moster-cat was chasing them in the world of pure black...
Oishi was alone at the second floor of Seigaku. Suddenly he heard: " Oishiiii!" It was Eiji who stand at the end of the hallway. "Oishiii!" Kikumaru shouted dramatically and with a tone of happiness in his voice. Both were running to each other and the cat boy jumped up to his beloved friend, like he does several times, when they won a match.
"Probability to be eaten by this giant monster-cat : 120% !" Inui calculated, before he and Taka found a small path between the gym and the school building. They ran on that path and stopped in the middle. The giant 'Kapurin' tried to catch them with its huge paws. Unexpected Taka discovered that the huge monster didn't fitted in that small path, so they didn't lost time and entered the school... Just to find "This way!" Fuji and Tezuka running from something else. Now the four of them ran up the stairs. Standing there breathing hard and with their hands in their knees, Taka mentioned as first person: "This- this world is crazy!"
After that they heard a voice's - "Wasn't that Oishis voice?" Fuji looked serious at Tezuka. They started to run along the floor... "Hey Guys... could it be that the floor gets ... darker and darker?!" After Taka-san noticed that, the others stopped... A metalic smell suffused the air... Inui swallowed concerned and moved his head to the floors walls... a red fluid flowed out of the ventilation shaft... The red fluid kept coming out of the ventilation shaft. "W-what is that?" Taka asked, but the others were just gazing at this horror with him. All of sudden, it came out with a lot of force in a stream - covering them completely in the red fluid and also made them fall to the floor.
At that moment... all of the four boys were struggling on the ground.
"THAT IS BLOOD!" Fuji shouted panicky. When Tezuka looked at his friend while he was shocked too, he tried to hold Fuji's hand to hushed his fear away... but it didn't worked... Tezuka never though that even his childhood friend, who was kind of sadistic, would began to cry when he was seeing blood of an unknown person. "Fuji..." he only said. As buchou he had the duty to keep his cool... even when he wanted to cry secretly of his fear.
When Inui and Taka-san sat up, their whole body was shaking like never before in their lifes... and suddenly... the hallway got even darker and cold, really cold. They were still lying on the pool of blood, when the tennis club members were starting listening heavy steps, which got closer and closer... At this moment, all of them could saw a figure at the end of the hallway... But it was too dark to recognize who or what it was... Then it got too close and they saw...
"K-k-kabaji?!" The boys chorused.
"Usu" the 'Kabaji' only said.
"W-what d-d-does Kabaji do here?!" Taka-san asked scared his teammates. When he wanted to near him, Inui stopped him after some steps.
"Probabilty that this Person is the real Kabaji, after knowing the story of the ichinen: 15,43%" - "W-w-w-w-w-when that person i-i-isn't Kabaji...who or what is that?!" Taka-san shouted while he was clenching his fists. Helping Fuji to stand up, Tezuka observed the proceedings... At a single blow Kabaji took a racket from his bag on his back and it seemed like the ceiling was vanished... A 'Snowstorm of Tennis Balls" appeared, and Kabaji began to hit them with all the power he had. They had no place to hide, so the powerful balls hit them all. It was really painful. Tripping and getting up again they ran the faster as they could to get away from that thing. Before they got to the stairs, the thing hit each one of them in the back really hard, and all fell to the floor...
They were still in the bathroom when they started to hear loud sounds coming from the floor below - very careful they got outside... "Those shouts... sounds like our friends ones? It really does..." Momo said with a caring tone... While checking to be sure that nobody was on the second floor, they went upstairs and saw... "B-b-blood?!" Kaidou flinched from the pool of blood... And felt how he lost his consciousness and fall on Momos back, who stand directly in front of him. "He Mamushi... Pull yourself together!" the boy only yelled to his old-known rival... "S-s-so much blood Nya~!" The 4 seigaku made a scared face while walking through the bloody hallway.
Not that quickly, because Momo now was practically carrying Kaidou and Eiji was doing the same with Ryoma. when they got to the end of the hallway their eyes got opened wide in shock "Senpai-tachi!" Momo and Ryoma shouted at the same time "Minna..."
Oishis eyes were opened wide.: "Tezuka... Fuji! Taka-san! Inui! W-w-w-w-what happened to you?!" He asked in a state of agitation... When he was running to them, without thinking of any dangers, a tennisball hit his head and he fell down to the ground. "OISHIIIII!" Kikumaru screamed...
Eiji and Momo got closer to their friend quickly. There was blood all over them and they weren't moving "W-w-what if they...a-a-a-a-a-are dead?" Momo asked trembling his senpai "NO! Don't say that!" Eiji was already crying for his friends. "Hey! Tezuka-bucho! Fuji-senpai!" Momo was shaking them. - "Inui! Taka!" Eiji also was shaking them.. when he noticed "OISHIII!" was there too, Kikumaru saw how he was hit by a ball on his head at the same moment...
Besided his other friends were lying on the ground, he ran to the hurt Oishi... "NO! "NO! NOT YOU TOO! OISHI! HANG IN THEIR NYA~!" He cried when suddenly a lot of tennis balls were flying from the other side of the floor. A huge giant with a racket hit them with the aim to hurt all of the Seigakus ... Eiji closed his eyes and whipped away his tears several times - Next he heard Oishi whispering very quiet... "E-ejii..." The catboy looked hopefully to his best friends face, when he noticed all at once a strong hand at his throat. - It was Oishis hand. His kind face was disappeared and turned into an horrible expression "...O..ishi.." Eiji was trying hard to take off that hand of his neck but 'Oishis' power was amazingly strong "Senpaiii!" Kaidou who woke up, was on the other side of the floor and ran towards to help his cat-like friend. He jumped on 'Oishis' back, who was forcing Kikumaru on the floor at the same time. Kaidou had the intention of making him fall, and save Eiji whose face was already turned blue.
Momo was starting running too and tried to take 'Oishis' hands off, but no avail... After that he started kicking 'Oishi' legs and got to throw him to the floor with Kaidou and Eiji together... "Impossible..." Suddenly... the 'Oishi' vanished…
Ryoma, who was still weak because he almost drowned earlier, was sitting next to a wall under a window, where Momo left him for short time, to help his senpai. The ichinen closed is eyes for a while to rest... but when he opened them a couples of seconds later - the others were disappeared...
"Oh no... not again!" he thought, but it was already to late. While he tried to stand up he was trembling a little bit. "Why does that all happened to us... why it happened to me?" his voice reflected the despair inside of him. When he looked up from the ground to the floor Ryoma saw a shadow in front of him. His body froe and a cold breeze passed his neck. At the moment Ryoma looked with fear at the shadow, its red glowing eyes gazed at him.
After that 'Oishi' vanished, Kikumaru fell down on his knees, he couldn't stopped crying, it was a way too much for him. Even it wasn't the real Oishi, the pain inside is heart was terrible... Momo tried to cheer him up and gave him a handkechief. "It's ok, senpai..." he only said in a calm voice. Kaidou who was at his limit left in disbelief.
"A-a-a-a-are they really dead?" Kaidou asked the others with tears in his eyes... When the three of them near the unconscious Regulars, Momo noticed that Fuji-senpai was moving, just a little bit, one of his fingers... After that they checked the breathing of their friends. "Thanks Goodness! They are alive!" Momo and Eiji beamed with joy. Kaidou smiled reassured.
A while later the senpais recovered consciousness and told them what happened. Also about the fact, that they doesn't bleed and 'Kabaji' was attacking them. Tezuka was glad inside, that they found Momoshiro, Kaidou and Kikumaru... but "Where is Echizen?" he asked irritated...
