"-Be quiet! She might wake up!"
"You're the only one whose being noisy, baka"
"What did you say Mamushi?"
"Mah….please calm down…are you all sure Echizen has enough air? Maybe she cant wake up if she's lacking oxygen. But if she doesn't have oxygen then she might die! And if she dies then-"
"Oishi~ We didn't tighten the gag that much, just to keep her from screaming Nya~"
Gold eyes opened, scaring the regulars backwards at her sudden actions, she looked around and spotted her brother, gagged and tied up to a chair, he was awake as well, if his muted chuckling was any indication that he was alive and not choking on the lack of air.
She tried to speak of course, but the voice that had come out of her was incoherent and muffled, she was about to take out the gag before she noticed she was in the same position as her brother.
"Sheeeeemhaaaaaaiii!" She tried to speak once more, struggling against the binds
Silence enveloped the room
"We cannot tell buchou about this" Eiji spoke from behind a mask, his voice serious for once
The other 4 nodded in synch.
Ryoma spat out the gag in her mouth "Yeck! That better be a clean cloth and not some used cloth for sweat!" They could now see she was spitting fire.
"Don't worry Echizen-san, were not here to hurt you. Also, we had just newly bought that cloth so it should be clean" Oishi immediately fussed, having been roped by his doubles partner to help with the heinous and life threatening act of kidnapping their only (and hopefully will still be) female tennis regular
"Let me go or I'll-" She was cut off as Eiji jumped to the middle of the room
"SHHHHHH!" Eiji scolded, successfully silencing the room as his cell phone rang in his hands.
"Hello?" Eiji greeted
"Eiji, you don't happen to know where the other missing members are right?"
Eiji's eyes widened "FUJIKO!" He yelled, surprising everyone in the room
Fuji chuckled "Saa, Tezuka is out for blood. 5 of his regular members skipping out on practice all in the same day, 4 of which don't have excuses, one of the four being his fukubuchou"
"FUJI-SEMPAI!" Ryoma yelled before she was silenced by Momo's quick hand
The 4 tennis members paled, Ryoma's determined eyes starred at her brother's amused ones
"Saa…keeping secrets from me Eiji? I see…please tell Echizen-san that I'll be there in a few neh?"
The phone from Eiji's hand dropped. The other regulars looked at him, their faces a mixture of horror and confusion
"W-what did he say Eiji?" Oishi asked, alarmed that his doubles partner had just carelessly dropped his phone
"Barricade the doors! Close all windows! Run! Hide! Jump! Fujiko is on his way!" He exclaimed, already in the process of barricading his garden shed
Momo was stunned into shock before he complied and helped out in barricading the door and windows. "Gah! Fuji-sempai?" He exclaimed, closing the curtains and everything else with Oishi and Inui's (he just pointed out what things he could use to barricade against Fuji) help.
The Echizen siblings stayed quit, glancing at each other with questions left unanswered in their eyes.
Inui approached the little girl "Echizen" He mumbled, grabbing her attention
"If your going to shove a drink down my throat, I'll personally sell you on the black market sempai" she threatened
He smiled at that, his glasses glinting "It did cross my mind, but I just have some questions for you"
She nodded, sleep on the far side of her mind as of the moment "Just a few" she mumbled, her eyes still watching her seniors fuss around, clearly making a lot of noise
"That's your brother right?" He asked, wheeling the older Echizen sibling to the younger
Ryoma glanced at her smirking brother "No. I have no brother" She spoke stubbornly
The smirk dropped "Oi! How cruel Chibisuke! I got you oranges and everything!"
She merely stuck out her tongue, ignoring the scratching noises her data crazed sempai was making with his pen and notebook.
Her brother gave her a pointed look before he smirked "Your right, my sister should be much more beautiful than some simpleton like her"
She puffed her cheeks and frowned at him "Tch. He's just mad that he doesn't get girls as quickly as I do"
That statement confused her sempai but made perfect painful sense to her brother "Gah! That's because your such a tomboy!"
"And you're such a sissy!" She retaliated
A quick rap on the door froze them all "Eiji! I brought you and your friends some snacks, would you like some?" A motherly voice questioned from outside the garden shed.
Tables and chairs flew as they now tried to open the door "Snack time! Snacks!" They exclaimed as Oishi merely fussed over them.
…
Fuji was ready.
Fuji was prepared.
Fuji…was Fuji.
Described as the enigmatic tensai of Seigaku
Known as the sadistic blackmailer of the tennis team
Renowned for his strange addiction to his brother.
And now… a lovesick puppy. Ahem. Clear that. And now he was the dashing knight in shining armor, his damsel in distress in his arms squirming to get fre- Ah…that doesn't sound right either.
Ahem. Fuji Syusuke. Evil. Yes, that sounds better.
"Fuji-sempai, put me down"
"No. I rather like you being in my arms Ryoma-san"
A frown
A chuckle
"My brother will misunderstand"
"Saa, so this is the man you've taken the day off for?"
A quick nod
A sadistic smile, unknowingly sighing in relief
"Ryoma-san, shouldn't you be thankful I saved you from them?"
A quick gesture to the pile of 4 dead bodies on the garden floor.
A pout accompanied by a flush on her cheeks
"I will be. If you put me down"
"Now that wouldn't be fun now, would it Ryoma-san?"
He continued to carry her through the garden and into the house
"And what are you going to tell my brother?"
A grin "He'll be coming with us"
And sure enough, the curious only son of the Echizen's followed suit, hiding behind telephone polls and anything else that was big enough to hide him, the college grad watched with suspicious eyes (as did everyone else on the streets) as Fuji continued to carry the miniature girl.
"Fuji-semp-" She was cut off as he stopped, bringing his face close to hers.
"Saa, call me Syusuke. We 'are' friends right Ryoma-san?"
A secret threat
A nod.
He pulled away before continuing to walk to wherever he was heading, the girl in his arms having had given up on escaping his tight hold
Ryoga had almost had a heart attack watching their closeness, his sister cuddling onto the strangers chest, falling asleep after a while. The stranger having had gotten much too close for his liking, he'd have to report to Nanjirou as soon as possible.
"Neh, Syusuke-sempai, where are we going?" She asked, her eyes closed as she rested her head against his well-built chest.
He smiled. It wasn't the usual sadistic smile, it was happy and yet secretive. "Saa, you'll see…"
She looked up with a smile. A smile that had him confused, she noticed his confusion and merely shook her head.
"Sempai looks nice with that smile. Thanks for saving me sempai…" She sighed, before drifting off to sleep once more.
