Chapter II: A not-so-great surprise called Marui Bunta.

There was a rare phrase that said that there were, at least, three persons in the entire world that looked just like you.

Kiyo always thought that he had no chances of meeting those three people, because they probably didn't speak the same language nor lived in the same country. But, as he saw Akaya gathering all the team, he realized that he was wrong. Very, very, wrong.

The first reaction of all the guys was an astonishment face. Then, they turned at the same time their faces to stare at one of their teammates, and turned again to Kiyo's direction.

One of them laughed. He had gray hair and aquamarine eyes "Look, Marui, we found your twin!"

Kiyo couldn't see Marui, but he heard his voice. He was clearly angry "Shut up, you stupid Niou. He doesn't look-"

And then, Marui appeared. Both red-haired boys opened their mouths in shock. They were almost the same person, with only two differences: the height and the eye color. But the rest, they were like twins, just like Niou said.

"What the-" both said simultaneously. They couldn't finish the sentence.

"Great" Niou said with a smirk "They also talk at the same time"

Kirihara also laughed, and then the entire team did the same thing. And then, Marui and Kiyo glared at them. They were the only ones who didn't found that funny.

"Kiyo," Akaya passed and arm over Marui's shoulders "This is Marui-senpai"

Marui waved, a little bit embarrassed. Kiyo raised his chin, like he was saying 'hi'.

"And now" Kirihara pointed the blue eyed boy "Everyone, this is Mitsumoto Kiyo, the new student in my class. He's joining the tennis club" He commented, grinning like an idiot.

"Oh, it's that so?" The blue-haired boy from earlier seemed interested."It is great" He turned to the rest of my team "Ne, guys, aren't my practices fun ~?"

Everyone gulped. They looked like they had to agree, or something bad would happen. Kiyo even felt the 'say-yes-or-I-kill-you' aura from the guy.

"Ha-hai!" They replied in unison, slightly scared.

Are the practices THAT bad? The red haired boy said to himself, pretty amused.

"I'm the buchou" said the purple eyed one "Yukimura Seiichi, and him" he put his hands on the guy with the cap "Is the fukubuchou, Sanada Genichiro"

Sanada grunted, and moved his head a little. He looked as if he didn't like to talk; the cold-and-severe guy.

Akaya finished introducing the rest of the team, which was kind of interesting. They all looked so strong…

But, before all of them could do anything, the bell rang, announcing the end of the break. Kiyo thought the recess would be a little longer.

The English class started, and he was bored like hell. Kiyo hated English, even more than Math. Since little, no matter what he tried to do, he couldn't understand a thing the teacher said. His parents tried everything to try to teach Kiyo. They even sent him to England for the entire vacations, and he came back, just knowing how to greet, count until 10, say 'thank you' and 'goodbye'. He even escaped most of the classes, and walked around the country. Most of the times he got really lost, but he always found a way to get back to the school.

His older brother always teased him with that. Utsuho, his brother's name, always said weird phrases in English (Kiyo didn't know that most of them were just insults) that the younger Mitsumoto didn't understand. And also, his parents annoyed him with that crap of 'Why can't you be like your older brother and try to learn English?' and 'It's easy. You just have to be a little more insistent'. But they knew, in the inside, that English wasn't easy for any of them.

Kiyo sighed, and looked through the window. He could see part of the entire field of Rikkai. It had beautiful gardens, various buildings and numerous tennis courts. Past the school, and you could see the beautiful blue sea. The blue eyed boy wanted to jump out of the boring classroom and fly to the beach…

.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, and, sincerely, he didn't care. Sleeping was better than staring at the teacher, pretending to understand what the teacher was saying. He just knew that in one moment everything was pleasantly quiet and dark, far away from the teacher's monotone voice. Ah, he just loved to sleep.

The little nap helped him to feel like the two hours of English were just two minutes. He was thankful that he picked one of the last seats in the class. That way, the teacher wouldn't notice him. Or at least that's what he thought.

"Hey" he said, standing next to Kiyo. The teacher was pretty upset "Hey, kiddo. Wake up. This isn't naptime."

Everyone laughed, and the red haired boy finally woke up, growling as high as he could. He was also glaring at the teacher.

"Mitsumoto, is it?" the man raised an eyebrow, and Kiyo nodded "I'm Yagami Shuuchi, and I think you should pay more attention to the class"

"Yeah, whatever" he sighed, looking to the window. He didn't like that teacher already.

Shuuchi walked again to the front of the classroom, and looked Kiyo one more time.

"And, Mitsumoto-" he called. The red haired boy raised his head. "I hope I don't see those piercings in the next class. It's against the rules, if you didn't know"

Kiyo seemed surprised for a moment, and automatically raised his hand to his left eyebrow. How the hell did that stupid teacher see his piercings? They were on the opposite side of the line of sight of Shuuchi! He sure had X-rays or something like that. They were almost impossible to see.

He grunted loudly, glared at the teacher for one more time and answered in a very bad mood "Hai, sensei"

He ended up eating with Akaya in the roof. He was still angry. But, he calmed himself down as he started eating.

"Don't worry about Yagami-sensei" Akaya commented, engulfing his taikoyaki "He'll forget about that."

"Yeah, right" was the only answer from Kiyo.

"Uh…it is true" The black haired boy blinked a couple of times "He saw me once playing with my PSP, and he said that he would send me to detention room after classes, but he forgot about it when the class ended"

"Really?" Kirihara nodded, chuckling. Kiyo smirked "He must have the worst memory in the entire school"

"Kind of. But still, you need to be more careful. He has a very good sight"

They continued chatting about the teachers, and how annoying was English class as they walked to the courts once more. Kirihara insisted so much that Kiyo just had to agree or the boy would keep saying 'Come on!' until he would drive Kiyo mad.

The team kept staring at Marui and Kiyo, still amused.

"Quit it already" said both of them at the same time, again "It isn't-"

Then, they realized they were talking in unison. And the rest of the boys laughed loudly. Both of the red haired glared at the team, and then to each other. It was obvious that they wouldn't get on very well with the other.

Akaya noticed that, and he tried to retain his laughter.

"Stop repeating the same things I say!" yelled Marui.

"Wow, so I'm the one who is repeating." Kiyo replied, sarcastically "You stop mimicking me!"

"I'm not mimicking you!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I don't!"

And they continued arguing, without even noticing that some of the other guys were taking photos and videos of them. They couldn't help it; that situation was very funny. They looked like two little children trying to blame the other because one of them broke the neighbor's window.

"Oi, Marui quit-"

Niou stopped. He actually got confused. He didn't know which of them the tensai was.

"Eh, Yagyu" he called his doubles partner, pointing at the pair "Who is Marui? The one in the left?"

"No, Niou-kun. If you didn't notice, Kiyo is a little bit taller than Marui-kun"

"Oh. So it's the one at the right?" he asked again, still puzzled.

The tensai managed to hear the conversation, and got very pissed. How the hell his teammate could confuse him with some random second-year boy?

"Niou-baka!" he shouted "How can you confuse me? I'm totally different from-"

But he couldn't finish the sentence. His team interrupted him with another of their laughs.

"My god, Marui-senpai" Akaya gave the older boy one of his friendly punches ", you're almost the same person"

And that phrase was the bomb. Now Kiyo was pissed.

"You're wrong, Kirihara" interrupted him "Can't you see the differences?"

He stood besides his senpai.

"I have blue eyes, and he has purple eyes" said, making the height difference more clear "His hair is pinker than mine. Also, I'm taller than Marui-senpai."

The last difference annoyed Marui. He hated when people reminded him that he was short. Meanwhile, Niou took advantage of that and started teasing Marui.

"That's right!" he said, chucking "Pinkie is the short one puri ~"

The older one glared the trickster.

"Yeah, but still…" Akaya kept analyzing the pair "They look the same to me"

Kiyo sighed as heavily as he could. He knew that it wouldn't end soon. That stupid moment would last months, maybe the whole year.

It is great to do short chapters ~. They don't drain all of your inspiration, not like my other fanfic's chapters D: They sure leave you exhausted. This chapter is a little bit long: four-and-a-half pages! Hope it doesn't get too large in the future ^^;

Oh, by the way, if you wonder how Kiyo is like, here's a link with his appearance, general information and personality in the description: .com/#/d2pa93w
