Chapter 11

Games

Miku just hoped that life didn't get any crazier.

Too late.

It was a two weeks after Miku had gotten over her flu and a week after Eiji had gotten and gotten over it. When Miku was better, her mom still made her take medicine after her fever was gone completely. She'd called Eiji once when she was still on the stuff and was a bit high, asking him weird questions, such as "did you know that porcupines float in water?" and giggling uncontrollably when she did so.

Eiji had most of the same symptoms. He'd been delirious and seeing various UFOs, such as squirrels and cats, in his room. His fever hadn't gotten quite as high as Miku's, but it still was high enough that his over-worried mother called the doctor for advice. His siblings had teased and messed with him while he couldn't do anything and was too tired and sick to stop them.

But now, though, the regulars were back at Miku's house along with some of her friends from volleyball- plus Rei and Sakuno. Their names were Kiko Toyashimo, Sakura Nakashima, Amaya Yamasaki, Koemi Hashimoto, Chiya Takeda, and Yuki Kobayashi.

They had been playing games (but not Monopoly or Clue; Miku didn't want the mess that ensued last time) when someone had suggested a game.

That game was Spin the Bottle.

The instigator was Fuji.

With a wink and smile at Miku, of course, because that's how he rolls.

The rest of the group responded with gasps, open mouths, blank expressions (in the case of Tezuka), and sly smirks for the few that actually enjoyed this kind of thing.

Fuji held up an empty glass bottle and looked at the group with a raised eyebrow, silently saying "Anyone who walks away or refuses to play, I will hit with this."

"F-Fujiko…" Eiji said sheepishly. Fuji looked over, his eyes open for once and his stare serious. Eiji "eep!"ed, but then continued shakily, "Where did you get that bottle? I never see you with a random bottle in your backpack or tennis bag… hold on, is that a wine bottle?"

"Saa." Fuji was suddenly smiling again.

"Fuji, are you seriously planning on using a wine bottle?" Miku asked.

"Saa."

Everyone apart from Fuji heaved a sigh.

"Whatever," Miku said, an uncertain expression on her face.

A closing door was heard, and Fuji ran out of the room, bottle in hand. An "Ow!" was heard from the hall, as well as the door closing again. He returned a few moments later with a stern Tezuka in tow, who was rubbing his head.

"Fuji…" Tezuka protested. "That hurt."

"Sit." Fuji commanded.

"I need asprin…" Tezuka mumbled, massaging his temple.

No one could argue with that. They all formed a circle and sat down. Fuji had to scramble them up so that there weren't a whole bunch of girls or boys sitting in a clump, and then he took his seat, placing the bottle in the center.

This was going to be awkward.

"Who wants to spin first?" Fuji asked politely. No one answered.

"Oh come on," he said. "Do I need to put on music for you guys?" No one responded again, so Fuji walked over to a CD player that hadn't been there before and turned on music.

The song "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid came on. Miku, Eiji, Koemi, and Kiko all started to laugh.

"Are you really going to make me spin first?" Fuji asked. "Okay then, here goes."

He spun the bottle. It revolved over and over…and then landed on Kiko. She blushed. She had a bit of a crush on him. Fuji rose, walked over, and offered his hand. Kiko took it, and stood to face him. Fuji pulled her close and gave her a romantic kiss. Pulling away, he whispered "I like you too," in her ear, so that no one else could hear. Kiko grinned, and gave him a happy hug.

They both returned to their seats, scooting back a bit so that they wouldn't get picked again. Everyone was blushing and looking at the floor, except Tezuka, who had found a book and was reading. He was rubbing his head a bit still. Miku wondered how hard Fuji hit him with the bottle…

"Next?" Fuji said encouragingly.

"I-I'll go," Rei ventured. She spun the bottle, biting her lip and hoping that she'd get Momo. However, the bottle landed on none other than Kaidoh, who was only two spots away from her desired target. Rei tried not to look too disappointed as she stood in front of Kaidoh and gave him a quick kiss. She returned to her seat, downcast.

Momo was furious. His arch rival had gotten the girl he wanted! Not fair! He glared at Kaidoh, who was blushing.

"I'll try next," Taka offered. Fuji nodded, and the former spun the bottle. He kept his eyes on it until it stopped, and then looked up. It had landed on Koemi. They met eyes and gave each other small smiles. They had established their mutual fondness for each other not too long ago, but weren't publicly known as a couple. That was probably about to change, knowing that Fuji was there.

They both stood up and moved away from the group a bit.

"Taka! Here!" Fuji threw a racket at Taka, which he caught, and his aura flared.

"KOEMI!" he yelled, grabbing her around her waist and giving her a "burning" kiss. Pulling away, Taka dropped the racket on accident, and they both laughed, returning to their spots.

"I'm going to call you Tokemi now, since it's your names combined," Fuji murmured to Koemi and Taka.

"I shall spin now," Inui said, adjusting his glasses and spinning the dark red bottle. It landed on Yuki. She blinked a few times, looking at Inui. Inui took off his glasses and placed them on his notebook next to his pencil. He leaned across the circle and gave a blushing Yuki a gentle kiss. Inui quickly returned to his spot, replaced his glasses, and started writing in his notebook. Yuki looked down at the floor, sad.

"Mada mada dane, Inui-senpai," Ryoma said. Inui wasn't paying attention. Ryoma moved to spin, but Fuji cut him off.

"Can I spin for you, please, Ryoma?" Fuji asked with a wink. Ryoma seemed to get the message, and nodded.

Fuji spun the bottle...and it landed on Sakuno. Fuji smiled at Ryoma, who had no problem giving his girlfriend a romantic kiss. Sakuno was beet red by the time Ryoma broke off, and they both returned to their seats, smiling.

"I'll try now," Miku said, starting the bottle in its pirouetting. It landed on Oishi… Wait, Oishi?

Miku did a triple take from the bottle to Oishi.

He smiled weakly at her.

Miku hid her disappointment completely behind a tiny smile, standing up.

Facing Oishi, she gave him a quick kiss and started to lean away, but he pulled her closer and unexpectedly deepened the kiss (on his end, anyway). Miku's eyes flashed open, and she froze. What the hell was he doing?

The others could only see Oishi's back, so they must've missed Miku's reaction…

Oishi pulled away, blinking at her, silently asking why she didn't respond, but Miku ignored him and walked back to her spot. She sat there, knees against her chest, and one hand over her mouth. Miku looked up. Oishi was just sitting down, blushing slightly, but then she saw Eiji. He was livid, and taking it all out soundlessly on Oishi, glowering in his doubles partner's direction.

"I…I'll go next," Amaya said shyly. She spun the bottle, and gasped when it stopped. Eiji glared at the bottle, trying to make it explode.

"Eiji…" Fuji said, urging his friend to go.

"Do I have to?" the redhead protested.

To this, a mug of God-knows-what was put in his face by Inui. "You don't kiss, you drink the Super Extra Special Inui Juice Remix."

Eiji swore under his breath, stood up, and walked over to Amaya, who stood up to face him. Eiji looked angrily at Oishi and Miku a few times, and then kissed Amaya passionately, to Miku's horror. Breaking off, he turned towards the group.

"I remembered that I have something important to do. Goodbye, everyone." He said, and stormed out.

There was silence. Miku pulled her legs closer and buried her face in them.

"Well, Tezuka, will you go next?" Fuji asked, giving him a look that said, "If you don't, I'll hit you with the bottle again."

Tezuka spun the bottle, and it landed on Sakura. She looked at him with her mouth slightly open.

Hang on, was that a smile? It was only there for a millisecond, but it was definitely there.

Tezuka motioned subtly for Sakura to sit next to him. She did so, and he took off his glasses. Tezuka started to kiss her, but people were pulling out video recorders and cameras from nowhere. So, he grabbed his book, hid their faces, and continued the kiss where no one could see. Keeping the book in place, he replaced his glasses, and he resumed his stoic, expressionless face. Sakura just leaned against his side, smiling faintly. He removed the book, and everyone in the group (that weren't busy being broody or sad) sighed with disappointment.

"Jeez, buchou," Ryoma said teasingly. "You're so boring."

"Bet you don't need asprin now," Fuji commented quietly. Sakura giggled. "Okay, who's last?"

He looked around. "Chiya-chan! Momo!" Fuji met eyes with Chiya's shy ones and Momo's angry ones.

Chiya looked at Momo sadly. She had a crush on Momo, but knew now that it wasn't shared. Momo leaned quickly over across to the blushing Chiya and gave her a quick yet gentle kiss, and returned to his silent abuse of Kaidoh.

"Saa, I think that's everyone," Fuji said, looking around to check that there weren't any people trying to escape. He chuckled. "What would you say if I told you I got that all on tape?"

"FUJI!" everyone shouted. Yes, even Tezuka.

Fuji just laughed at them all. "Just kidding, just kidding."

"Thanks for coming, guys," Miku said, trying to be as grateful as possible.

After that, people pretty much just came up with stupid excuses to escape the awkwardness of Miku's living room. They left in pairs, except for Oishi, Momo, and Kaidoh. In the end, the only ones that were left were Fuji and Miku. The latter was lying on a couch with her face in a pillow.

Miku sighed.

"What's up, Miku? You don't seem happy. It's about Eiji, isn't it?" Fuji asked.

"Stupid Oishi…" she mumbled over and over again, and punched the pillow a few times.

"I'm sorry Miku, I really meant for you two to get matched up... you could've asked me to spin for you like I did for Ryoma."

Silence.

"I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that you weren't kissing back."

"Of course I wasn't!" Miku almost shouted. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell."

"It's okay. But we really need to do something about that Eiji… None of us could see you very well behind Oishi; he's bigger than you."

"I know…"

"Come on, Miku, he's probably just punching the stuffing out of his giant teddy bear at his house. He's a tough guy; he'll get over it pretty quick."

"I hope so too…" Miku sighed. Her eyes were slowly brimming with tears, which she tried to wipe away. "I hope he doesn't hate me…"

"Of course not. He li-" Fuji covered his mouth with his hand. Crap, he'd almost told her. "He… he really values you as a friend, Miku."

"That's it!" Miku actually yelled this time. "Fuji, I love him! That's not… not what I want…" She started to cry and buried her face back in the pillow.

Fuji sighed, sitting on the couch next to her, and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. 'They better figure this out soon…' he thought.

Eiji had his face buried in his giant teddy bear. There were several stitches loose and stuffing was missing from his kicking and punching the plush toy.

'Eiji, you're such an idiot… you seriously had to get pissed and then kiss her like that?' he thought. 'You saw the look on Miku's face before you left!'

The other side of him countered, 'It's all Oishi's fault! The stupid bastard just HAD to go and kiss Miku like that!'

'You saw that she wasn't pleased with him!'

'Uh huh…'

Ugh… this was going to be a long night… not only was he insane and arguing with himself, he'd have his siblings coming in any minute now to see why he was making all that racket…

"EIJIII!"

"OTOUTO!"

And wha-la.

A/N: God, I suck at this. Writing the kiss scenes, I mean.
