Day Seven: An Initiative-taking Kabaji Sunday
Journal-san,
The team gathering at buchou's gathering today has only strengthened my resolved, though it has also complicated my view on the ease of gekyukujo-ing Atobe-buchou as well as Oshitari-senpai (the latter in order to preempt any opposition). Strange as it may seem, this was due to Kabaji's actions.
Yes, you read right. Kabaji. The same Kabaji who, in my memory up till today, has only said 'usu' in response to Atobe-buchou and nothing more. He is more of a rock than Seigaku's Tezuka-san or Rikkaidai's Sanada-san that buchou enjoys antagonizing so much, and that's saying something! You can understand, of course, how odd it is that he is the reason for this epiphany.
Atobe-buchou was called away by Atobe-sama to attend some conference call – exposure. I've been told its normal by Choutarou, but I don't know since I'm not exactly the first heir. Aniki is the first choice, and always has been. How it all went down… Well, I'd call it amusing if it weren't for the epiphany I had.
Mukahi-senpai began by whining to Shishido-senpai and Jiroh-senpai. "Why are we here anyway? Atobe wanted a meeting, but he isn't here. I want a bath, Jiroh! ~ I feel contaminated!"
"Gaku-chan…" Jiroh-senpai eyeballed him. "Behave."
Shishido-senpai snickered at that. It was ironic. Senpai-tachi were both childish. One telling the other to behave was just like the pot calling the kettle black. "Do as he says, Gakuto."
"Shut up, Ryou!" Mukahi-senpai rounded on him. They instantly went into one of their long squabbles.
Unfortunately for us, Choutarou was pissed with Shishido-senpai and therefore wasn't around to tone him down. And Mukahi-senpai was obviously not on speaking terms with Oshitari-senpai and therefore… Well, they were fighting without any buffer. Jiroh-senpai tried, kami bless him, but even he could only do so much before he was drawn into the argument – they'd known each other for too long to remain neutral.
I had resigned myself to waiting until buchou came back and started tuning them out. Imagine my surprise then, when an unfamiliar yet familiar voice firmly spoke up. "Stop it."
We all froze, really. I swear, I wasn't the only one! None of us could really believe that Kabaji had spoken. "Senpai-tachi, please stop it. Buchou asked me to call a time out if something like this happen. Please don't make me call on the household to help me carry out orders."
Jiroh-senpai was the first to recover. He dimpled at my fellow second year that was hulking above him. "It's like that, is it, Kaba-chan? Alright then, what does Kei-chan want?"
"Singles in the green room, Doubles 2 here, and Doubles 1 in the red parlor." Kabaji dutifully recited.
Jiroh-senpai, to my surprise, merely shrugged. "Well, you heard him. Move it, Ryou, Chou-chan, and Piyo-chan!"
Against his personality and Kabaji's bulk, we hardly had a choice. To my surprise, though, when I made to walk out of the green room, he didn't stop me. I took a meandering route through the mansion and looked in on both the general parlor where Doubles 2 was and the red parlor where Doubles 1 was ensconced. It took a while to get to them, due to the sheer size of the estate, and the way it was organized. The green room was behind the ballroom, while the parlors were nearer the front of the house.
By the time I had made my way to the rooms, Shishido-senpai and Choutarou appeared to be amiably talking. One floor down and crossing a corridor led me back to the parlor we originally gathered. Suffice to say that the way Doubles 2 had made up was not for public consumption. My eyes still burn.
I am, however, thankful that senpai-tachi didn't notice me. Oshitari-senpai is known to be as sadistic as Seigaku's Fuji and Rikkaidai's Yukimura when taking revenge.
I had presumed that this was Atobe-buchou's way of making sure everyone got their heads on straight – a conclusion that I had come to on my way back to the green room. However, buchou's voice in the room made me pause at the door. I still don't know why I did it. Instinct perhaps?
Imagine my shock when I heard buchou's surprise. "My orders? I gave no orders, na, Kabaji?"
"Usu." Kabaji was back to limited vocabulary, apparently.
Jiroh-senpai giggled. "Kei-chan is going crazy! Kaba-chan said you wanted Doubles in separate rooms, and singles here. How else did you find us?"
"Used the intercom?" Atobe-buchou's voice was so deadpan I could see his expression through the door.
Jiroh-senpai was silent for a long while. "But if you… Kaba-chan, you genius!" The hyperactive blonde exclaimed. "You took the chance to force them to make up, didn't you? I would have done the same except that I was too caught up arguing with Ryou and Gaku-chan! And Kei-chan wasn't around to hold us back." I entered silently to Atobe-buchou's nod, even as he ruffled Jiroh-senpai's hair.
"Usu." Kabaji intoned.
I was flabbergasted. So the whole scheme was Kabaji's? He was apparently not as deadbeat as we all assumed. He had actually orchestrated the reconciliation of both Doubles pairs. I can barely remember what happened after that, but buchou must have gathered all of us and then dismissed us after some irrelevant speech.
I was too busy contemplating what it meant to my gekyukujo plans that I don't remember how I got home.
But now… I realize that people may really be more than what they appear to be. I'd always written off Kabaji as an Atobe-drone. But he actually is capable of initiative outside of tennis… It truly is terrifying. It gives me more angles to consider before actually having a proper gekyukujo plan.
Nonetheless, whatever the case, I will continue to plan and analyze. I will succeed. It is only a minor setback and a matter of time. I refuse to write anymore to appease hahaue and will instead focus my energy into gekyukujo plans. I'll see you again, Journal-san, only if… WHEN I succeed. Sayonara!
