Sunday morning. Tokyland amusement park gate. 10 o'clock.

People were making a long long long line in front of the ticket entrance, from very old people to young kids. Today was a beautiful sunny day. Everyone want to enjoy this day to the best.

One by one, Seiyou tennis club were gathering, much to the delight of many girls. Gakuto and Hiyoshi were calmly talking together. Marui, Niou and Ootori were coming, Kirihara running behind them. As usual, Kaido and Momoshiro were quarrelling. Kikumaru don't stop jumping up and down around the place whereas Ooishi tried to calm him down. Kawamura was just simply be Kawamura.

Ryoma arrived with Ryoga. She was immediately assaulted. Kirihara rudely whacked her shoulder as if she was any normal boy. Kikumaru squeezed the devil out of her. Marui tested again her new status of human stuffed toy. Niou messed up her hair. Ootori laughed at her, but doesn't help her. The worst, Ryoga was laughing with him. Ooishi tried to help her to escape from them, but he was alone so he couldn't do anything. Shishido, Hiyoshi and Gakuto sweat dropped at the sight of the poor first year being assaulted by her senpais.

Yanagi watched them while Inui recorded down in his notebook their behaviours. He was very happy to have the opportunities to collect new kinds of data other than in tennis. Oshitari was amused, but not Sanada. Sanada was praying to any gods to grace him a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of patience and endurance for the whole day. He had the intuition that there will be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of babysitting for him to do. Yagyuu wondered if the lot of them were really teenagers or very big babies disguised as teenagers.

'Maybe they are!' Yagyuu concluded as he watched Marui, Kikumaru and Gakuto behaving as if they were high in sugar. But maybe Ryoma was higher in sugar then them. She kicked Kikumaru, Kirihara, Marui and Niou, sending them flying high in the sky.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! We're flying againnnnnnnnnn!!!" the four boys yelled.

"Will you ever learn to leave me alone, you clowns!" Ryoma growled.

'And to think it's only the beginning of the day!' Sanada and Yagyuu thought, sighing heavily. They were already exhausted, even if the day hasn't start yet.


"Hey! Isn't that Seiyou tennis club regulars?" a girl in the crowd asked her friend.

"Yes it's them! But what are they doing here?" her friend asked.

"It's rare to see them at a place like this," another friend added.

"But we are so lucky to see them so near," they squealed. "They are so dreamy… Ahhhh!" And they fainted.

"Wait! If the Seiyou tennis club is here…" another girl started.

"…Then it means that they will be here too!" a bunch of girls chorused, hearts in there eyes.

As soon that it was said, four Benz… Or is it Rolls Royce cars?

Argh! Who cares!!

Anyway, four luxurious cars came. From the first one, Tezuka stepped out.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Kunimitsu-kun!"

The tennis club members covered their ears.

'Loud people!' they thought. They can understand that the young girls were going wild, but they don't understand why the old ladies over eighty of age are also acting like teenagers.

"Buchou," Ryoma greeted Tezuka. He nodded at her.

From the second car, it was Yukimura.

"Seiichi-sama!"

"You are as beautiful as ever!"

"Ah. Thank you," Yukimura said nicely to the crowd, smiling his angelic smile.

"Ahhhh…" some people fainted.

'Weirdos!' Ryoma and company thought.

"Ah. I see that you're already here," Yukimura told them.

"Konnichiwa (1), Yukimura-senpai," Ryoma greeted him. Yukimura smiled.

"Konnichiwa, Echizen-kun."

"Yiaaaaaaaaaah!" the crowd went wild again as the person in the third car stepped out.

It was Atobe, who (majestically) stepped down, with Kabaji (normally) behind him.

"Kyaaaaah! Atobe-sama!"

Atobe snapped a finger. The crowd immediately shut up.

"Be awe by this Ore-sama's gorgeous presence!"

"Kyaaaaaaaah!" Wild crowd again.

'Show off!' his team mates thought.

From the last car, Fuji calmly stepped out, not in a dignified way like Tezuka nor exaggeratedly royal-ish like Atobe, but simply and humbly like himself. The crowd don't make a sound as it watched Fuji with dreamy eyes.

"Arigatou, Shindou-san," Fuji said to his driver, who was holding the door opened for him.

"Dou itashimashite, Fuji-sama," the driver said, bowing respectfully. Inside, he was really happy. Even if the heir of the Fuji family always thanks him for any little service he does, it always make him feel happy.

Fuji, noticing the sudden silence around him, turned his head to the crowd, who were still looking at him with dreamy eyes. Fuji looked at them a moment. Then, he smiled and slightly salute them with his head.

"Konnichiwa," Fuji said.

Silence. Then crazyness.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"Fuji-sama! Ahhhh…"

"I love you…"

"Ahhhhhhhhh…"

Many young girls, young women and old granny fainted.

'Sugoi, Fuji/Fuji-senpai!' his team mates thought.

"Fuji, you steal Ore-sama's fans again!" Atobe said, a vein on his forehead, not happy. Fuji only chuckled.


"Fuji-senpai! Are we going now?" Kirihara excitedly asked.

"Hmn." Fuji nodded. "Let's go." As soon as he said that, a man in a business suit appeared.

"Fuji-sama," the director of the park greeted. "I humbly welcome you and your friends to Tokyland."

"Arigatou, Kobayashi-san," Fuji said.

"Here are the VIP passes for you and your friends." Three laides in uniform, who were waiting behind the director, stepped in front of Fuji. Each lady have a tray with the VIP pass bracelets on it.

"Hai. Douzo (2)," the first lady invited them to serve themselves.

Each of them took a bracelet and clasped around their wrist.

"It's pretty cool, but how are we going to go there?" Marui asked.

"It's so crowded that we won't be able to get in before hours," Ootori said, scanning the bridge.

"Hmph!" Atobe flipped his hair. "Be awe at the sight of this Ore-sama's prowess!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" the crowd squealed.

Atobe stood in the middle of the way of the bridge, raised his hands and,

SNAP!

He snapped his fingers. All the people on the bridge immediately divided in two group to form a free way.

Except for Fuji, Yukimura, Tezuka and Kabaji, the rest of the team sweat dropped.

"See," Atobe said, smirking. "Follow me!" And he leaded the way.

"Oh well," Marui said, shrugging his shoulders and crossed his hands behind his head. "Let's go then."


Immediately after they set their feet in the amusement park, Kirihara, Marui, Niou and Ootori dragged Ryoma away for the Monster. The girl was screaming to them to put her down on her two feet, telling that she can walk by herself. But they don't listen and dumped her in a wagon of the Monster. After the Monster was the Snake. After the Snake was the Vampire. After the third roundabout, it was Ryoma who was the first one to choose for the next game. She went straight to the bumping cars. Much to the boys dismay, she was awful to them. She made sure she bump into each of them violently and rudely. And she sure seemed to LOVE attacking Kirihara, Marui, Niou and Ootori. They also played the spinning tea cups, went into the Haunted House, the Iceberg, the Volcano and many others roundabouts.

After what, they played the games at every stands. First, they tried the Punching Hammer. Ryoma and Kirihara barely got 39 points. Kikumaru, Ooishi, Gakuto and Hiyoshi, 56 points. Kaido and Momoshiro 83. Kawamura hit.

Bing!

A 100 point. A trumpet music played as many lights lit up.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh!" His team mates applauded, impressed.

"Hahahahaha…" Kawamura shyly laughed.

"Kabaji!" Atobe called.

"Usu!"

Kabaji took the hammer and hit.

Crack!

Kabaji crushed the bell.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"

Kawamura and Kabaji won each a gorilla stuffed toy. Kawamura got a blue one while Kabaji a pink.

Next, they played the aiming games: dart, circle, pistol. As expected from Seiyou tennis club regulars, they were very good. They won various prizes. Ryoma was particularly happy with her cat stuffed toy, which looked a lot like Karupin. Then, she saw another stuffed toy as the first prize of a throwing ball game. She stopped to look at the toy.

"Hey, Echizen! What are you looking at like that?" Kirihara asked her.

"There!" She pointed at the object of her curiosity. Kirihara looked at it. Then he understood what she was thinking.

"Come one, let's win it!"

"Aniki, hold this for me!" Ryoma gave him her stuffed toy.

"Oi! Wait, Chibisuke! Where are you going?"

But Ryoma already left with Kirihara.


After many minutes later, the two of them came back to the group.

"Atobe-senpai, we have something for you!" Kirihara said. Ryoma and him were grinning as they were hiding something behind their back.

"Hum? What is it?" Atobe asked, looking down at the two kids in front of him. Ryoma and Kirihara looked sheepishly to him, then shoved what they were hiding into Atobe's face.

"It's for you, Monkey King!" Ryoma and Kirihara chanted.

"Pfffffffffffffffffff! Wuahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" the others laughed on the top of their lunges while veins popped on Atobe's head.

Ryoma and Kirihara won a stuffed toy for Atobe. It was a big brown monkey wearing a purple cloak and a yellow crown on its head.

"We think that this toy looks a lot like you, Monkey King," Ryoma said. "Yi hahahahahahahahahaha!" Ryoma and Kirihara neighed.

"Why you two…" Atobe growled, his eyes red. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Kirihara and Ryoma flung the stuffed toy away, which Kabaji caught, while Atobe chased after the two running away mischievous kids, who were still quacking. "Come back here, you brats!" Atobe yowled.

"Yiyaya hahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Sanada sighed again as Ryoma, Kirihara and Atobe ran around the table were he was sat. He was dead tired. As he expected, he was babysitting big babies in teenager body from the moment they stepped in the amusement park.

"Ahhhh…" Sanada sighed heavily as he laid on the table where Yukimura, Fuji, Yagyuu and he were sitting. Three of his ghost spirits floated on his head. "Those boys… Ahhhh…"

'I understand what Sanada means,' Yagyuu and Tezuka thought. They sighed too.

Yukimura and Fuji chuckled.


At the end of the day.

"Well, thanks a lot, Fuji. It was a great day, but we will leave now," Ryoga said.

"Arigatou, Fuji-senpai," Ryoma said, bowing to him. Fuji smiled.

"See you tomorrow, Echizen-kun," Fuji said.

"Hai."

"See you tomorrow, Ochibi!" Kikumaru said.

"Don't forget to bring your lunch too!" Kirihara said. Ryoma's eye twitched. She knows what he was understating.

"Right. Don't forget it like you did it yesterday!" Marui added.

"Otherwise, you won't be able to eat your lunch!" Niou said.

"Even if I bring it, I can't even have a single bite with you around," Ryoma muttered between her teeth. Kirihara, Marui, Niou and Ootori grinned a goofy smile. Yukimura and Fuji chuckled.

"Okay, let's go, Chibisuke," Ryoga said.

"See you tomorrow, senpai-tachi," Ryoma greeted them a last time.

"Bye bye!"


Monday. The school bell chimed lunch time.

"Okay class, you can closed your book now," the teacher said. "Remember to do your lab report for next week."

Ryoma yawned as she closed her chemistry book. She already finished her report.

'Finally it's lunch time.'

She put her book in her bag pack and left her seat.

"Ah, Echizen-kun, wait," the teacher called her.

"Hum?" Ryoma stopped. "What is it, sensei?"

"Come with me to the teacher lounge. Your homeroom teacher have something to give to you."

"Ah. Hai."


In the teacher lounged.

"Here, Echizen-chan," her homeroom teacher said, giving her craft paper bag. Ryoma took it.

"What is it, sensei?" she asked.

"Your new uniform, the girl set. It was brought to me after the first period."

"Huh?" Ryoma peeked inside.

"What a shocking surprise for me when the principal told me that you were a girl," the teacher said, chuckling. "But he explained to me what happen, so I understand why you were wearing a boy uniform from the first day. Pfffffff! And to think that some girls even asked you to be their boyfriend. Hmhmhm! Maybe this time, the boys will ask you to be their girlfriend. Hahahahahaha!" He laughed.

"It's not funny, sensei," Ryoma said, eyes twitching.

"Humhumhum! Sorry sorry," the teacher said, trying to suppress his laugh and sweeping the tears in the corner of his eye. "Anyway, why don't you try it now? If the size if not okay, you can ask for it to be replace."

"Hai. Arigatou, sensei. I'll be leaving then. Good afternoon, sensei."

The teacher smiled to her.

"Good afternoon, Echizen-chan."

Ryoma bowed and left the teacher lounge.

Since her teacher told her to try it now, she went to the girl bathroom. Some students around the place wondered why a boy was going inside a girl bathroom. Peeping girls?

In a cabin, Ryoma removed her boy uniform. Then, she put on a blouse and tie the dark blue and golden strips butterfly necktie. Next, she put the plead gray skirt. And last, the jersey, with the school emblem on her left breast. She went outside the cabin to see herself in the glass. The uniform perfectly fit her frame. She removed her wig and her long hair cascaded to her waist. Ryoma twitched her eyes as she looked at herself in the glass.

'Curse hair!' she mentally grunted. It would soooooooooo great if she could CUT them for real. But no, her pervert oyajii and her baka aniki had decided otherwise.

She twitched again an eye at the memory of the first day she wore her boy uniform and at her image in the mirror.

'I… look like a girl…' she thought. 'Curse hair!' She bonded her hair. She reflected again as she watched her skirt. 'I prefer the boy uniform. It's more comfortable.'

She sighed and left the girl bathroom. As she stepped out, someone called her name.

"Ryoma, is that you?"

Ryoma turned her head.

"Yuuta! What are you doing here?" Ryoma asked.

"This is my school," Yuuta said. Ryoma looked carefully at him. Indeed, Yuuta was wearing the Seiyou boy uniform. "Don't tell me that you also study here?"

"Didn't I already told you?" Ryoma asked.

"No, you never. But I did told you that I was at this school," Yuuta said.

"Really?" Ryoma searched in her memory. "I don't remember."

Yuuta thought a moment. When he told her that, they were in a fast food restaurant. And Ryoma was eating - more likely gulping - her hamburger.

'Ah!' Yuuta slapped his forehead. 'Of course she wasn't listenning! She was EATING for kami-sama's sake!!' He should have known. When Ryoma eats and you tell her something, it will probably went inside her right ear then slipped out through her left one. Her brain cells won't bother themselves to work properly and won't grab any informations if foods were involved. Yuuta sighed.

"Anyway, I' m very happy to learn that we go to the same school. But I'm surprised. How did you do to get in this school?"

"I won the scholarship," Ryoma said. They talked a little bit while walking.

"Hey, Ryoma, thank you for the advise you gave me," Yuuta said. "I called my brother and told him that I was released from the hospital. He was very happy that I told him that by myself."

Ryoma smiled.

"See. Your brother does really care about you," Ryoma said.

"I only understand it now. If you didn't tell me, maybe I would still be thinking bad about me brother," Yuuta said, a smile on his face. "You know, he brought me a sakura monaka cake, exactely like the one you gave me."

"Ah," Ryoma said.

"By the way, you are going to eat lunch, right? Why don't you come with me? I want to present you to my brother," Yuuta said.

"Errr…"

'Well, it's better than having to see the bunch of them again,' Ryoma thought.

"Okay."

"Great! Then come on! Let's go to the green house!" Yuuta said.

'The green house…? Hey! Isn't that…' Ryoma wondered. But she don't search further and simply followed Yuuta.


In the green house.

Marui and Niou were rested on their elbow on the table, not happy.

"What's wrong with you two?" Ootori asked. "You're making such a boring face."

"And why didn't you bring Echizen with you?" Kirihara asked.

"Echizen was not in his class today," Marui said, sighing. Like always, Niou and he went ahead to kidnap Ryoma again, but she was faster than them today. She already left before they arrived.

"Ahhh… And I here I thought I could eat his lunch again," Niou said, sighing.

'That's why he escapes away from you, ahou!' Yagyuu and Sanada thought.

"Ah ah… I miss Ochibi-chan," Kikumaru said.

"It's kind of boring when Echizen is not here…" Shishido admitted. Gakuto nodded.

Yukimura and Fuji chuckled. Somehow, they understand what Kikumaru and Shishido meant. Fuji checked his watched.

"What is it, Fuji-senpai?" Momoshiro asked him. "You have been looking at your watch many time by now."

"Yuuta said that he will come to eat with us after that he took an agreement with his homeroom teacher for the classes he missed. He should be here by now," Fuji said.

"Here he comes," Oshitari said. "And with a girl too."

"What?! With a girl!" Momoshiro exclaimed. They turned their attention to the green house door.

"Ah! I remember! Yuuta already have a girlfriend!" Kirihara said. "Could it be her?"


"Yuuta, I thought that the green house was a private place for the student council members only?" Ryoma said.

"It is. My brother is the president of the council student."

"Ah." Ryoma thought again. "That's right, I never took the pain to learn who are the council students."

Yuuta sighed.

"Why am I not surprised to hear that from you?" Yuuta said. "Ryoma, at least learn who represent your interests in school. Anyway, come in." Yuuta pulled the door to let her went ahead.

"Ah! Yuuta! You come back!" Kirihara went ahead to him with Marui, Niou and Ootori.

'Gaaaaaaag! Them again!?' Ryoma thought, her face blue. 'And here I thought I would be spare by them today.'

"Hi guys! It's nice to see you again," Yuuta said.

"Yuuta," Fuji greeted him with a happy smile.

"Aniki, hi," Yuuta said. "Here let me introduce you. This is my friend, the one I talked to you about, Ryo…"

"WHAT?!" Ryoma interrupted Yuuta. "Yuuta, you mean that Fuji-senpai is your brother?"

"Huh?" Fuji opened his eyes to look at the girl in front of him. She said his name as if she was familiar to him. He examined her.

'She's familiar… Where did I saw her?' Fuji thought.

"Yes, Fuji Syuusuke is my brother. Ah, you already know him?" Yuuta said.

"I know Fuji-senpai, but I didn't know that he was your brother."

"Ah," Yuuta said. "Haven't you notice that we have the same family name?"

"You told me your family name before?"

"Yes I did," Yuuta said. "But maybe I should have tell you that when you weren't eating" Yuuta mumbled the last part, scratching his head.

Ryoma pouted her lips, innocently pretending that she didn't understand what Yuuta was understating.

"Yuuta, I'm surprise you know such a pretty girl," Ootori said.

"Hum! Hum!" Marui and Niou nodded eagerly, smiling at Ryoma. The bunch of them were now gathered around Ryoma and Yuuta.

"You are sure lucky, Yuuta," Kikumaru said.

"Hey, what's your name?" Momoshiro asked.

"Huh!?" Ryoma was dumbfounded. 'What's the heck with them?'

Kirihara took Ryoma's hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Kirihara Akaya! Yoroshiku! Are you Yuuta's girlfriend?" Kirihara asked excitedly.

"WHAT?!" Ryoma and Yuuta yelled. Fuji snickered.

"If not, then will you be my girlfriend?" Ootori asked.

"Urgh!" Ryoma turned blue at the idea.

"Hey! If you don't like him, what do you think about me? I'm Marui Bunta!"

"I'm Niou-…!"

"Senpai, stop it! You gross me out!" Ryoma told them.

"Hey, you talk like Echizen," Gakuto said. "Not to mention you have the same voice as him too."

"Well, physically, she looks a lot like Echizen," Shishido said.

"The same hair and eye color," Oshitari said.

"Hum. That's true," Kawamura said. Ooishi nodded.

"Fsssssssssssssssssh!"

"Hum, could it be that she is related to Echizen?" Yagyuu said.

"Well, since they are physically so alike, probably they are," Yanagi said.

"Do you happen to know a brat by the name of Echizen Ryoma?" Atobe asked.

"Or are you relate to him?" Sanada asked.

"Like being Ochibi-chan's sister?" Kikumaru added.

"Echizen never told us that he has a sister," Momoshiro said.

"No, Echizen doesn't have a sister," Yanagi said.

"His only sibling is Echizen Ryoga," Inui said.

"Senpai, what are you talking about?" Ryoma stopped them. "It's me!"

"Ryoma, you know them too?" Yuuta asked.

"Yeah," Ryoma answered.

"Ryoma? Hey, you have the same first name as Echizen too," Kirihara said.

"I didn't know that the name Ryoma was that popular," Gakuto said.

Marui, Niou, Ootori, Kikumaru and Momoshiro nodded.

Yukimura, who was watching from the beginning, thought it was about time to untangle the confusion.

'Seems like Echizen-chan needs my help,' Yukimura thought, silently laughing.

"All of you, that's enough," Yukimura said. "Stop it already. Leave Echizen-chan be now."

"Echizen?" Momoshiro asked. They all looked closely at the girl standing next to Yuuta, examining her from the head to the toe.

Up.

Down.

And up again.

. . .

Silence.

. . .

Tokyo. Seiyou Academy school ground.

Today was a beautiful day. The sky is blue and the sun is shinning hight in the sky. On Seiyou Academy ground, birds were chirping happily in the trees, squirrels dancing from one branch to another. It was a beautiful and peacef-!…

"USOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"


(1) konnichiwa: hello;

(2) dozou: equivalent to "Please, feel free" or "Please, serve yourself".
