Love Between Two Captains

-Fuji's house, 07.00 pm-

Ting…tong…

The door bell was rang. Lazily, Fuji got up to opened the door. When she opened it, suddenly a pair of strong arms hugged her. She looked up and saw Saeki Kojiroh standing with his hand holding a big bag. Fuji blinked. Saeki smirked.

"Yo, Syuusuke!!" Saeki raised his hand. Grinning widely, Fuji threw herself into her childhood friend's arms once again.

"Kojiroh, it's nice to meet you again. Are… why do you bring this big bag?" Fuji asked as she looked at the black bag in Saeki's hand.

"Well, Let's me explain later. I'm so tired"

"Come in"

Fuji helped Saeki with the bag and lead him to the guess room. Saeki lied down onto the soft bed while Fuji sat on the chair, opening Saeki's bag. She found a lot of clothes, few books, etc. Frowning, she looked to her friend.

"Saeki, are you moving here?" Saeki chuckled. He sat up and faced his friend.

"Yes, but only a few days. Yuuki-San asked me to accompany you because your parent is in England, Yuuta won't go home because he has to stay at the dorm, and Yuuki-san will go to China soon" He explained patiently.

"Ah.. souka…but how about your school?"

"My school is unimportant than you, my dear…" He said smirking. Fuji blushed hard and threw a pillow on his face.

"Saeki!!" Saeki laughed and caught the pillow.

"Kidding, my school is in reparation so I have a free week to accompany you" He finally answered the question. Fuji nodded and grabbed Saeki's hand.

"Let's go, I made an apple pie!!!"

-Tezuka's house, Kunimitsu's room, 07.00 pm-

Tezuka stared at the necklace on his palm. He lied down on his bed and smiled. Today he met her. The one he loved for ten years already. She was so beautiful right now. Syuuki. Tokugawa Syuuki. Her brown hair was passed her shoulder and her blue eyes were different. As long as he remembered, Syuu-chan eye's were blue sky, a beautiful ones buy they were deep blue right now. Still, She was so beautiful.

Tezuka sighed in satisfactory. Well, all he had to do was get her by his side. Smiling, he downstairs to have a dinner with his family. The dinner was like usual. Quiet. Tezuka back to his room after the dinner. He opened his book and started doing his homework. He was just solved five question of his Mathematic homework when Tokugawa's face passed his mind.

Tezuka shook his head with a smile and tried to concentrate doing his homework. Then when he finally solved the last question, Fuji's face passed. He closed his book and frowned. Why did Fuji's face appear in his mind? Why he always had her in his head? She was unimportant to him, right? Tezuka took off his glasses and went to his bed to sleep. He imagined Tokugawa's face once more before he went to the dreaming land.

-Seishun Gakuen, 08.00 am-

The girl's tennis practice was over 15 minutes ago. Fuji was about to lock the door before a voice stopped her. She turned around and saw Tokugawa standing with a flushed face. Her brown hair covered half of her face. Maybe because she ran to clubroom. Fuji raised an eyebrow in question.

"Wait Fuji-senpai, I left something in my locker." Tokugawa said. Fuji being so kind and polite to he new member, smiled and opened the door once again.

"Get it, I have to lock the door quickly because the school will start soon"

"Thank you!" Tokugawa's face lit up and she ran into the room. Two minutes later, she came out. The beautiful brown hair girl bowed.

"Thank you, Fuji-senpai" Fuji gave her famous smile once more and began to walked. She looked at Tokugawa who still stood on her place, looked so amazed with Fuji's infamous smile.

"Ah, it's okay. Let's go before the class begins."

"Hai" Tokugawa ran to her side. Together, they went to each other class.

-Canteen, lunch time-

The regular was once more gathered at the canteen to discuss the next plan to get Tezuka and Fuji together. Inui opened his green notebook and scanned something in it. He would tell the other that he changed their plan to get Tokugawa and Tezuka together and forget the previous plan. He could saw a gentleness in Tezuka's smile yesterday when he saw them introduced each other.

Inui looked at Momoshiro who stole Echizen sushi from his bento. Echizen yelped and tried to get his food back. But because the difference of their height, Echizen couldn't reach it.

"Momoshiro, tell me about the new student in your class!" Inui get his pen to write down anything. Momoshiro looked at Inui with a curious face.

"Well, her name's Tokugawa Syuuki. She is from Chiba but I don't know her previous school. She is so pretty and kind. Many boys and even girls like her. She I not to smart in my opinion."

"That's all?"

"Oh, and she is playing tennis too. She joined she joined girl's tennis club last week. You know, when Fuji-senpai fainted on the court." Momoshiro placed his hand on his hips.

"Why do you ask, Inui-senpai? Do you, by any chance, interest in her?" Momoshiro asked, grinned widely. Inui pushed his glasses up and closed his notebook.

"No, I am trying to change our plan about get Fuji and Tezuka together. I saw Tezuka and Tokugawa-san talked yesterday. I saw Tezuka looked so interest to her, so maybe we should make a matchmaker to them instead the previous one."

"Are you sure, Inui-senpai?" Echizen asked.

"But I haven't seen Tezuka with that girl yet, Inui." Oishi asked, frowning. He, indeed, hadn't see Tezuka with the new girl yet. Even, he didn't know that there was a new girl in his school.

"I'm sure, 100% percent"

"Well, I hope so" Kawamura said. Oishi looked around and realized that Kikumaru was not there with them. Usually, Kikumaru would be the first one who arrived and talked loudest there. Oishi felt little quiet and lonely.

"Hey, where's Eiji?"

"OISHI" Kikumaru's loud voice answered his question. He looked around and suddenly grabbed by an arm. Kikumaru was dragging him to somewhere.

'Eiji, where we will go? We leave the other"

"Well, the quiet place. I want to talk to you" Kikumaru said cheerfully.

-Lunch time, rooftop-

Tezuka was eating his lunch like usual when he heard the door of rooftop opened. He turned around to glaring to the intruder but instead his usual glare, he replaced it with a smile.

"Tokugawa-san" He greeted politely.

"Ah, Tezuka-kun! Mind if I sit here to have my lunch?" She asked sweetly. Her ponytail skipped in a cute way. Tezuka nodded. Tokugawa sat beside him and ate her lunch silently. In few second, Tezuka would steal a glance to her. He felt a warm feeling filled his heart. He took a deep breathe to stop him to do something to her.

"What's wrong, Tezuka-kun?" Tezuka shook his head. Tokugawa looked at him curiously. She could feel Tezuka's warm gaze to her. What's wrong with him?

They looked in silence before Tezuka asked.

"Tokugawa-san?"

"Hm?" Tokugawa looked to him with a cute face. Tezuka felt his heart stopped in few second before it beat again. He could feel his face grew hot and red like a tomato. Tokugawa set her bento neatly before she faced Tezuka to finish his question.

"You said you from Chiba, right?"

"Yes, Why?"

"Care to tell me your childhood?" Tezuka asked. Tokugawa frowned. She tried to remembered her live in Chiba but really she had nothing special there except she had someone who she loved dearly in her previous school..

"Well, I don't really remember but I think I have someone special there" She said. Tezuka's eye widen. So she was really his childhood friend!

"Who is she/he?"

"Well, that's secret." She said with a playful smile.

"I see…" Tezuka said with a small smile on his face. Tokugawa was really, really his childhood friend. He gripped the necklace in his pocked and maybe he would give the necklace again to her someday. For now, he wanted to keep it for a few days.

The bell rang. Tezuka and Tokugawa stood up and took their bento. They walked together and said goodbye in the mid hall because their classes were different of course.

-Afternoon practice-

Ryuuzaki sensei, walked to the girl's tennis court to check her girls. She scanned the practice. Her eye landed on the new member on the club. Tokugawa Syuuki. She didn't know how strong she was. All she read in her file, she was an ex regular of her previous Junior High School. Maybe she could be a good regular for Seigaku. She walked to Fuji's side.

"Fuj, how's the practice?"

"Practice goes well, sensei. We still have an hour before we finish it. Why?" Fuji looked at her sensei.

"Tokugawa-san" Ryuuzaki sensei called Tokugawa who tied her shoes. Tokugawa looked up. Her cute ponytail was played by the wind.

"Tokugawa-san, Play a match with Fuj"

Fuji looked at her sensei. Why should she has a match with Tokugawa? Was Tokugawa a strong player that make Ryuuzaki sensei curious?

"Hai"

Few regular stopped when hey heard what Ryuuzaki-sensei said. They looked at the newbie in the middle of the court.

"How lucky! I want to have a match with Fuji-Buchou too" Kanna said hopefully. She hadn't have any match with Fuji although she really wanted to have one. She even begged to Ryuuzaki-sensei and Fuji but she still couldn't have one.

Fuji walked to Tokugawa and smiled. She wanted to test her anyway. Maybe he would be a good regular. Tokugawa smiled back to her and walked to court A to get ready to their match.

Fuji looked amusingly to Tokugawa who ready with her racket. Tokugawa's eyes were concentrating to her. Fuji chuckled. Maybe she should have fun with this girl. Fuji served. Tokugawa ran o her right side to hit back the ball. Fuji smile and returned every ball Tokugawa gave her.

The match was interesting. Fuji won 6-0 in fifteen minutes. Tokugawa was a good player. She could returned every ball Fuji served to her but still she couldn't defeat Fuji, the undefeatable tennis player for years and the Tensai of Seigaku.

Fuji shook her hand gently before walked to get her bottle on the bench. Tokugawa walked beside her. They drank in silent, trying to erase the tiredness.

"You're very amazing, Fuji-buchou" Fuji looked at her.

"So you are."

"Not really. I want to be strong like you. Would you like to teach me??" Tokugawa asked her with a hopeful eyes. Titled her head cutely, Fuji opened her eyes.

"Why?"

"Well…" Tokugawa's cheeks were red. Fuji chuckled. She looked more beautiful with that blush.

"Well?"

"I… have a friend and I like him… He's a tennis player. He likes a girl who can play tennis. So…" Her cheeks were as red as tomato now.

"Hmm… I see. Well, maybe we can train together someday" Fuji said kindly.

"Ah…Arigatou Fuji-buchou" Tokugawa's eyes went bright. Fuji chuckled once more.

"No problem.

-Clubroom, 04.00 pm-

The practice was ended. Everyone walked to the clubroom to get their things and left the school. They were so tired especially the regular who practiced hard because the upcoming match. Fuji opened her locked to get a clean towel and shirt. She walked to the shower.

After a fresh shower, she went back to the room only to find Tokugawa sitting on the bench, waiting for her. Fuji walked to her locker and grabbed her things. She looked back to Tokugawa who smiled to her.

"What's wrong, Toku-chan?" Tokugawa smiled again. She liked the way Fuji called her. She adored Fuji so much.

"Nothing, Fuji-senpai. Ne, can I walk home with you? I have no one to accompany me." She asked. Fuji smiled kindly

"Fine, let's go."

They walked together to the gate. Fuji was the silent one since Tokugawa talked every time beside her Fuji, being kind like usual, tried to look interest and nodded. They were about to reach the gate when Fuji spotted Tezuka walking to the gate.

Tezuka sensed that Fuji looked at him. He turned around and his eyes met with Fuji's blue ones. They stared to each other eyes, or you could say glaring, before he looked at Tokugawa who stood beside Fuji. He offered a small smile to her that surprised Fuji. 'An ice block could smile?'

"Ah, Tezuka-kun?" Tokugawa greeted him with a smile that melt Tezuka's heart. Fuji looked at him with an amusing smile. She knew his weakness now. So Tezuka was falling in love with her club member?

"Ah, Tezuka-kun. Are you heading home?'" Tokugawa asked sweetly. Tezuka nodded.

"Yes, wanna go home together, Tokugawa-san?" Tezuka asked. His heart filled with a hope. Tokugawa smiled brightly but soon replaced with a frown on her beautiful face.

"I want to but how about Fuji-senpai?" Tokugawa looked at Fuji worriedly. Fuji smiled to her.

"Just go ahead, Toku-chan. I'll go home by myself" Fuji said. Tezuka looked at her.

"Yes, let her go by herself. She will be fine" Tezuka said. Fuji glared at Tezuka. Tezuka glared to her back. The glaring contest ended when Tokugawa clapped her hands.

"What if we go home together? We three?" She said casually.

"WHAT?" Tezuka and Fuji yelled. Tokugawa nodded excitedly

"NO WAY!!" They said in unison.

"Eh, Why?" Tokugawa frowned in confused.

"I don't' want to walk together with him!" Fuji said little harshly as she turned around. "I'll go home by myself"

"Ehh, Buchou!!" Tokugawa tried to stop Fuji but Fuji was already walking a fast as she could to get away to Tezuka.

"Let her"

"But…" Tezuka cut in.

"Let's go"

-Fuji's house-

"I'm home…" Fuji opened the door only to has her face wet with a water. Frowning, she looked at the scene in front of her. Saeki and Yuuta were playing with water guns they found on a box. They didn't realized Fuji on the door when Saeki accidentally shoot her.

Saeki and the younger Fuji laughed together when they saw Fuji's wet face, Fuji who had a dark face ran to Yuuta and grabbed his gun to shoot back to Saeki and her brother. They ran to the kitchen to avoid it.

After playing hide and seek for a while, Fuji went to the kitchen to make a dinner for them. Saeki and Yuuta sat on the chair, playing a stupid jan-ken-pon game. After the dinner ready, they ate together.

Saeki looked at Fuji's neck and realized something gone from her smooth neck.

"Syuusuke, where's your necklace." He asked pointed his chopstick to her. Fuji looked at him before looked at her neck.

"I lost it last week"

"How? You said it's your treasure?"

"It is, but I fainted when I lost it and I already asked everyone who might know about y necklace. But no one said they found a necklace on the court" Fuji explained sadly.

'"Treasure? I don't know you like to treasure something, Aneki!" Yuuta said with his full mouth.

"Yuuta-chan, that necklace I so important to me. It's from my first love. The one I told you when we were child."

"Why don't you buy another one" Yuuta said.

"Don't want to, I will find it all of the cost"

-Next day, lunch, rooftop-

Tezuka and Tokugawa was like usual, ate their lunch together in the rooftop. They talked and joked many times. Tezuka could feel his heart grew warm and relax when he talked to her. But he also felt something wrong about Tokugawa. A feeling that Tokugawa was just a friend for him and he just treat her as a friend haunted his heart. He tried to ignore the feeling and enjoyed his time with her.

That afternoon was so beautiful . The Sakura's petals flew around them. Tezuka watched in amusingly when Tokugawa tried to clean her hair from the petals. She looked beautiful with he petals on her hair.

After tried a few time, Tokugawa gave up and at silently beside Tezuka. They say in silent before Tezuka felt something heavy on his left shoulder. He looked over and saw Tokugawa fell asleep. She looked so peaceful. Tezuka's eyes concentrated on her pale pink lips. He kept his first kiss for his first love. Now he had the time. He was leaning, leaning, leaning---

BLAM!!!

The sound of the door was being opened loudly made him jumped few centimeters from the floor. He stood up and totally forgot that Tokugawa's head on his shoulder. Tokugawa's head fell from his shoulder and bumped right onto the hard floor. She yelled in pain.

Tezuka looked to the door to find Kikumaru's wide eyes staring surprised to them. His jaw wide opened. Beside him, Oishi standing with a deep red face. Tezuka narrowed his eyes made Oishi grabbed Kikumaru's arm and walked into the building to get away from Tezuka' wrath.

Tezuka closed his head and looked at Tokugawa who busy rubbed her head. Her head was hurt because of the hard floor.

"I'm sorry, Tokugawa-san" Tezuka knelt and help her.

"It okay" she gave him a weak smile.

-Afternoon practice, boy's court-

Tezuka looked at his tennis members who practicing in the court. Then he felt someone patted his shoulder. He looked to his right and found Oishi standing beside him. Oishi gave him a patient smile.

"Say, Tezuka! Are you in love with Tokugawa-san?"

"Why do you ask?"

'Well, from what did you do this afternoon in rooftop was clear that you like her. Come on tell me, I'm your best friend"

Tezuka looked at him in the eyes, "I do"

"Really?" Oish looked unsure.

"Why?"

"Because when you say 'I do' I can't see love in your eyes for her." Oishi said, frowning.

"What?"

"Yes, although you said you love her but I can't see it in your eyes when you looked at me. Are you sure you love her, Tezuka?" Oishi asked him quietly.

"Hm…maybe"

"Don't say maybe. Love is about heart and we shouldn't playing with something as dangerous as love." Tezuka looked away from his best friend. His mind was thinking about Oishi' words.

-04.00 pm, after afternoon practice-

Fuji locked the door and went home. She walked passed the boy's clubroom when she saw some smokes appeared from behind the boy's clubroom. Curious, she walked there and saw a boy in uniform. She gasped when she saw who was he.

"Tezuka-kun?"

Tezuka turned around. A cigarette was on his hand. Fuji's eye widen twice.

'Tezuka-kun, you are smoking?" She asked disbelief. Tezuka just looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.

"Tezuka-kun?"

"What?" Tezuka said emotionlessly like smoking was not a something new for everyone.

"You're smoking?"

"So what?" Tezuka said. She didn't believe it. Tezuka Kunimitsu who was so cold, smoked? The one who really didn't match at his athletic personality. Although Tezuka was very cold and annoying boy, she never thought Tezuka would do something that could break the rule.

"I'll tell Ryuuzaki-sensei" Fuji said to him.

'You're so brave, Fuji-san. But are you really going to do that? Or could you do that?" Tezuka smirked and raised his eyebrow.

"Yes" Fuji said boldly and turned around to ran to Ryuuzaki-sensei's room. Then she felt an arm grabbed her and turned her around. Her mind blank when she felt a pair of warm lips covered her lips. She jut stood there shocked and didn't do anything. After a few second, Tezuka pulled back with a smirk.

"Now, go and say it to Ryuuzaki-sensei" He said. Fuji tried to speak but no word came out from her mouth. Her brain was still too shock to give command to her nerves. Smirking, Tezuka walked away and went home. Left Fuji alone.

After few minutes, Fuji finally recovered from her shock. Slowly, she touched her lips. She still could feel Tezuka' warm lips on her. She shouted.

"Tezuka-kun, you stole my first kiss!!" She cried. She kept her first kiss for Kuni-kun!!! And now she lost it to the guy she hated the most. She ran to her home. She was angry to herself because couldn't keep her first kiss for her first love.

'Tezuka-kun, you'll pay this'

-On Tezuka's side-

'Stupid Kunimitsu!! Stupid' He cursed himself. True, he kissed her to shut her up but why should he kiss her??? He kept his first kiss for ten years for Syuu-chan and lost it to Fuji.

'Couldn't he do anything else to shut her up?'

'Urgh!!!! I'm so stupid! My first kiss is for Syuu-chan! Why did I give it to her!!! Stupid Kunimitsu!!'

He walked home with such an angry face because of his stupidity…
