Chapter 14
Competition Part 4
"I just heard something very very interesting you guys," Kumiko said with an evil glint in her eyes.
"Interesting? Like what?" the boys and girls of the Seigaku tennis teams asked. Everyone was there except for Tsubaki and Tezuka.
"Well, I heard that Yukimura-san asked Tsubaki to go and watch the stars with him tonight, then Tezuka-san asked her! And now because Tsubaki is Tsubaki they're all going together instead."
"That is very interesting indeed," Inui said while writing in his notebook.
"Also," Kumiko said, "I heard that Ayumi and Inui are dating now."
"What?" everybody shouted. "How is that possible? They don't even like each other!"
"Um, it's true," Ayumi admitted. "We are dating, but it's not really anything."
"After all that's happened how could you do this to us, Ayumi? We're at war here with the boys!" Koizumi asked.
"Now hold on everyone," Miki said, "I'm pretty sure Ayumi has a good reason for doing what she's doing."
"Thank you Miki," Ayumi sighed. "I'll tell you guys the story now but you have to swear not to utter a word of it anywhere okay? Well, my parents are very rich as you all know. They're the heads of the AO corp and as you also know we're the second richest family because the Atobe family is the first. Well, me and Atobe's parents got a crazy idea and decided to make us . . . engaged . . . so what I have to do right now is pretend that I'm dating and in love with Inui and then the engagement will probably be canceled since my parents love me enough to not force me to fall out of love with someone."
"Why would they force you to marry someone like Atobe if you weren't in love? That's so cruel!" Aine sniffled as tears were apparent in her face.
"Aine, why are you sad?" Momo asked.
"I think that it's just so sad! It's not fair for Ayumi!"
"Aw, are you okay though Aine?" Momo asked.
Momo was just about to hug and comfort Aine when the whole Seigaku Girls' Team cleared their throats really loudly and glared at Momo. They could have killed him with their looks and it was clearly stated that they did not want Momo so close to Aine. So Momo moved a bit away from Aine.
"What's the problem girls?" Momo asked.
"There's no problem at all," Saori said, "but I think you shouldn't get so close to my best friend. You see Momoshiro-kun, you are dating a different girl, and we all think it would be best if you didn't give Aine mixed feelings. She is a very innocent girl and she's naïve also, but that does not mean you can take advantage of her kindness while you are in a relationship with another girl. And if you have feelings for Aine, then dump the other girl."
"What?" Aine said while looking upwards through her teary eyelashes.
"It's nothing Aine, don't worry about it. You also shouldn't worry about Momoshiro so much and you shouldn't be so nice either."
"I can't help it though, I'm nice to everybody. Being mean is just so hard."
"Anyways, we're here to discuss Tsubaki and Tezuka and Yukimura!" Ayumi shouted.
"So does that mean that we're all going to go and look at the stars tonight?" Saori asked.
"I guess it does mean that," Eiji said. "I want to see what's going on with those captains!"
"Why are the captains getting together anyways?" Momo asked.
"It's not our business to go and snoop in what Tezuka does," Oishi sighed.
"Stop being a wimp Oishi," Kumiko said.
"I am not being a wimp! We have to respect other people's privacy!"
"That's wimpish, Oishi-sempai. Would any other guy care if we did anything like that?"
"Well, I don't want you girls to get in trouble, and I know that the boys will be curious to see what happens too so they will also follow along on your plans so the boys will also get in trouble!"
"Aren't you a bit of a snoop too, Oishi-sempai?" Ryoma asked while casually sipping ponta.
"What do you mean Ryoma?" Oishi exclaimed.
"Well, I remember when Momo had forced me to come with him and Ann to go somewhere and then you, Inui-sempai, Eiji-sempai, and maybe Kaido-sempai had all followed us and were watching us. You guys thought that we were in a love triangle and that we were dueling for Ann. Then when Kamio came you guys freaked out even more and were talking about love squares."
Oishi blushed a deep red color and looked away from the group.
"I guess that settles it," Koizumi said while standing up. "We'll just have to go and see what they're up to tonight."
"But only couples look at the stars!" Oishi said while trying to discourage the snooping. "We'll look very strange if we're all just in one big group like we are now looking at the stars."
"Then we'll go in couples," Ayumi stated. "I'll go with Inui since we're already suppose to be a couple."
"Fuji will go with Faye since they kissed!" Eiji shouted.
"I did not kiss him!" Faye shouted back at Eiji.
"You did too! We all saw it!"
"Well, we all saw Fuji kiss Faye and Faye struggling," Saori said.
"They did kiss though . . ." Kumiko contemplated.
The whole room went silent as the group thought about what to do with Faye and Fuji. The two did kiss and Fuji seemed like he would be more than happy to be coupled with Faye. Faye on the other hand wanted to be as far away from him as possible. Because of him, she had gotten hurt countless times by his fangirls and every other girl that liked him.
"Okay let's skip them then," Miki suggested. "We'll just do everyone else first and then come back with them."
"Why not just go in the couples that we were in at the Hanami Festival?" Aine suggested after she had gotten a hold for herself.
"That's a great idea!" Takashi exclaimed. There was a racket in his hand as he said that. "Yeah! Yeah! Baby! This will be the greatest plan on earth!" Someone took the racket out of Takashi's hand and he apologized for his loud outburst. He rubbed the back of his head and sat down again.
"So it's Oishi with Kumiko, Koizumi with Eiji, Me with Kaido, Aine with Momoshiro, Miki with loud Takashi, Faye with Fuji, and Ayumi with Inui. Right?" Saori asked everyone.
"Why do I have to be with such a girly guy?" Kumiko grumbled. "He's such a goody two shoes that he won't even let me breath out a profanity! He always stops me and says something like, 'That's bad!' He's such a wimp!"
"That is very rude, Kumiko!" Oishi scolded. "Just for that we will have to be grouped together, I'll make sure of it."
"Koizumi is going to kill me!" Eiji exclaimed. "She hates me for breaking her guitar and now she's going to harm me so much! I don't know what to do! Please don't make me go with her!"
"Too bad Eiji," Koizumi said in a very happy tone.
"What about me?" Faye asked. "I'll be stuck with this guy who forced a kiss on me!"
"You knew you liked it," Saori said. "So just go with him."
"How can Momoshiro and Aine go together? Momoshiro has a girlfriend, remember?" Ayumi said.
"Oh yeah . . ." everyone sighed.
"I guess Momoshiro just won't be able to come with us then. Aine can be a part of another group if she has to be, or she'll go alone. She's the dreamy nice type of girl that would do something like that," Koizumi said while rubbing her chin like an old man.
"But I want to go!" Momo exclaimed.
"Well explain to your girlfriend who hates Aine why you're going to go and watch stars with her," Saori sassed.
"I don't know what to say . . . maybe she won't notice?"
"She's always all over you. How can she not notice? It's impossible not to notice!"
"So I suppose you either just can't come along or you can go with Mei, and I don't thing she'll be so happy with that."
"I want to go and see so badly though!"
"Well too freakin' bad, Momoshiro," Koizumi said as she walked up to him and poked his forehead with her index finger.
"We'll just have to wait and see won't we?"
With a dismissal from the girls, all of the guys trudged up the stairs. Some were enthusiastic for the adventure, some just wanted to see Tezuka like a girl, and others just wanted to know what was going on. It was going to be fun, and it would be way more fun than anything else that had happened at the camp.
"The night is beautiful, isn't it, Inui-sempai?" Ayumi sighed.
"It sure is, Ayumi-san," Inui replied.
They were both sitting on a beach towel together on the sand and the waves lapped at the shore. They sat close together, but none of their body parts touched at all. They mad sure it didn't touch in fact, and if you looked close enough, you could see that their postures were a bit stiff as they sat there together.
"Is he gone yet?" Ayumi whispered through clenched teeth.
"Not quite yet."
The two were pretending to be such the lovey dovey couple because Atobe was watching them from afar. They didn't want Atobe to think that they weren't together since Ayumi needed some saving and Inui surely needed something.
"I want to see Tezuka, Tsubaki, and Yukimura!" Ayumi whispered again.
"I do too, but it looks like that's not going to happen!"
"Why is Atobe watching us?"
The two sat on the beach and continued to stare at the stars.
"Momo-kun!" Mei pouted. "Why can't you see the stars with me?"
"I promised Aine I would go with her," Momoshiro replied.
"I hate her! I'm your girlfriend! Not her! So why are you spending time with her?"
"Because she's my friend. You don't restrict me from hanging out with my other friends."
"Because none of your other friends are like her!"
"How come you don't like her?" Momoshiro asked.
"I just don't!" Mei shouted back.
"Well I'm going. If you're not okay with me being with my friends then we'll have to talk about this tomorrow."
"Fine Momoshiro!"
Mei threw her beach towel at Momo before hiking all the way back up to her cabin.
"Fuji-san," Kyuri whispered in Fuji's ear as she slinked up to him. She was wearing a sexy, black tank top and a short red skirt.
Fuji sighed a big sigh before answering, "What is it that you want Kyuri? I'm meeting up with Faye soon."
"Oh really? So why not have fun with me first?" Kyuri walked her fingers over Fuji's chest and up to his chin where she touched his lips with her index finger. "Think of it as a one night stand, or a friend with benefits. It won't be bad at all. Plus, Faye is such a goody goody. Don't you get bored?"
"Not at all, Kyuri-san," Fuji said. He stepped back a few steps so that there were several feet in between them. "I don't do friends with benefits or one night stands. Get it?"
"That's too bad, we could have had fun."
"I don't think so. Faye is coming right about now so I think you should be leaving."
"I can't stay and chat to the both of you?"
"That wouldn't work out so well."
"Okay, bye then Fuji." With a sweep of her hair, Kyuri turned around and left.
Just as Kyuri left, Faye came in and sat down next to Fuji.
"Did something just happen between you and Kyuri?" Faye asked.
"I just told her to get lost," Fuji replied.
"So nice of you."
"I know."
The two sat there for a bit. Faye was uncomfortable and she was still a bit angry at Fuji for taking her first kiss. She sat as far away from him as she could and she squirmed when she thought he looked at her.
Luckily, she was saved by Koizumi who came up running with Eiji.
"Faye! Faye!" Koizumi called out.
"What?" Faye asked.
"They're not going to watch the stars together yet! They're all going on a group date or something first!"
"What?" Faye and Fuji screamed out together.
