Chapter 35: School Play Preparations and Blackmail
It's been a couple of weeks since Atobe took Genichirou out for a tour around Japan and Ryoma feels that he is at a crossroads between the two senior sempais from Rikkaidai and Hyotei. At this rate, we can safely assume that the kid has started to fall in love with both boys because he has a hard decision to make now. Once the seigaku rookie returns to school, he could see that everyone was outside practicing as usual while Momo and Eiji were working on their warm-up match.
"Good morning guys. I hope things have been going well with you guys. After a long day with my so called boyfriends, I am still not sure what my decisions are right now." Said Ryoma.
Everyone oohed at their beloved chibi while Eiji and momo snickered like crazy.
"What is so funny?" asked Ryoma as he frowned at his sempairs.
"you still haven't made a decision as to whom you are going to be dating? Well, you will once the school play begins in a week from now."
"I was never told of this. What sort of school play are you talking about?"
"Why Little Red Riding Hood of course! Fuji has just gotten the okay from the captains of Rikkaidai and Hyotei since they both want you to play the role of Riding Hood." Said Momo.
Ryoma was shocked at hearing this and twitched. "Hell no! I am not playing the role of a girl. Please find someone else to do that role since I suck at that. Let Sakuno take that role and I will do the prince."
"Sorry, but coach Ryuzaki insisted that you do this because she feels that you are the only one that woos all the boys from other school. Besides, Yukimura wouldn't want you to back down now since he asked Fuji to let you take the role because Akaya-sempai turned it down as well, nya!" said Eiji.
"Chotto Matte! I wasn't informed of this!" shouted Ryoma. He then turned his attention towards Fuji and glared daggers at him.
"Ne, Fuji-sempai, you are up to something, aren't you?" asked Ryoma. He knew that his friends was not of any help, but it was worth an effort to ask.
"No, why would I?" answered Fuji Innocently. But Ryoma knows that fuji wasn't going to get himself out of this as he sweated profusely.
"you are lying, Fuji-sempai. I just know it. Besides, everyone here knows you are a sadist who blackmails people to get what you want, am I right?" continued Ryoma.
"Saa, I have no idea what you are talking about. But if you don't cooperate with me, I am afraid I have to be the one to take blackmail pictures of you in a dress and show it to all of the schools and believe me, they will get a good laugh out of this, especially your boyfriends." Smiled Fuji evilly.
"You are so evil, Fuji-sempai! What the hell did I ever do to you!?" protested Ryoma.
But Fuji didn't answer as he went back to the courts for his warm-up match with that sadistic smile on his face, leaving a scowling Ryoma behind.
Everyone else looked at Ryoma and just shrugged it off without caring as they also returned to their courts. Furthermore, the rookie wasn't sure who else to turn to since none of his teammates are able to help him out of this one. He then decided to have a talk with the coach inside her office.
Back at Hyoutei, Atobe was in his office signing a couple of papers when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." called Atobe.
As the door opened, the music coach arrived and showed him the paper for the upcoming school play. "I really hope you know what you're doing with that Seigaku brat because from what Sumiere told me, she is actually approving Ryoma of playing the Little Red Riding Hood. Is there something that you are not telling me?"
Keigo looked at his coach while resting his hands on his chin and said, "As the music director, you have to conduct the band while the music is performing and they need you out there. Besides, if Yukimura said it was okay for Ryoma to play Red Riding Hood, he was indeed taken by surprise from his friends. I don't see anything wrong with it."
Sakaki was unfazed by this because if he tried to compromise with Ryuzaki, she wouldn't change her mind. "are you kidding me? This is going cause a lot of headaches within Hyotei, what will your friends say about this?" asked Sakaki.
"I am sure they won't mind. Besides, this was my surprise for that brat anyway since we had some alone time together. Furthermore, I told Fuji about it and he consulted with Yukimura. In turn, they were all on board with me on this one because we feel that the kid has a good shot at marrying all of us handsome guys. To be honest, my plan is working out perfectly." Said Atobe.
"Are you sure about this? What if Ryoma doesn't want the part? Do you know what sort of trouble I could get into?" continued Sakaki.
"Tell them that they need to make a decision on letting the boy stick to his role and if not, those blackmail photos will be the death of him. Don't worry, we will all take good care of him." Finished Atobe.
Sakaki could only grunt in fear and shrugged before leaving Atobe's office. He then said, "You people are crazy!"
Atobe could only smile at him and replied, "We get paid the big bucks to make this play a success."
Back at the hoytei tennis grounds, rumors were flying around like crazy regarding the Little Red Riding Hood play as Oshitari looked at the flyer he held in his hand. He then walked over to his doubles partner who was laughing with Hiyoshi about the Seigaku brat playing a girl.
"Wow, I never realized that our captain picked a little pipsqueak to play the role of Cinderella last time. This is the first that we have seen him get picked for the red Riding hood character." said Mukahi.
"Yeah, I know right? Our lucky captain really knows how to pick them. He just never ceases to amaze me. Furthermore, now he is asking the boy to play the role of Red Riding Hood this time around. I don't know how he does it but I think that kid is a perfect candidate for our school." Agreed Hiyoshi
"You're kidding me, how did that kid get picked for the part of Red Riding hood? That should have been you, Mukahi! You have red hair don't you I mean you can do the riding hood character perfectly." Stated Shishido
"Shut up, shishido-sempai! Besides, I am a guy! A guy like me isn't gay to do Red Riding hood." Protested Mukahi as his face turned a beet red while the others snickered like crazy. Even Yuushi couldn't help but laugh at the current situation at hand. Just then, the gang could see Atobe walking towards them with invitations in his hand.
"Atobe, what is all this for?" asked Mukahi
"Take these to Rikkaidai and distribute them, tell them that they are invited to our school to see our precious prince play Little Red riding Hood. If this goes well, perhaps he will eventually join Hyotei. Furthermore, I am having Genichirou playing the prince charming and I the Hunter while Akaya does the big bad wolf." Said Atobe as he laughed and left the gang in a state of confusion.
"Is he really doing what I think he is doing?" stated Jirou.
"Yup, he is off to his own little dream world." Agreed Shishido.
"I don't believe this. Ryoma already admitted that he is not in love and yet atobe wants him to play that Red riding hood character in order to show him what true love really means? And Sakaki approved of this as well? I am betting it's that bastard sadist Fuji up to his old tricks again. Only he and Yukimura could come up with something so insane like this. They are practically collaborating with each other. No wonder that gaki spent so much time with them." Grunted Hiyoshi
"you have to admit, our sempais didn't give that brat much choice. I mean we are all like brothers that he never had. So it is only fair that any of us could be possible lovers for him, but Atobe had to go for the obvious choices in Rikkaidai and Seigaku. He doesn't even spend that much time with tezuka now because he spends it all with that popular gaki. We should also try and do the same thing since he does get along well with all of us, isn't that right Choutaro?" smiled Shishido as he gently elbowed his doubles partner on his shoulder.
"Huh? Oh yes of couse, I am sure that ocbibi will have a great time with all of us." Chuckled Choutaro. He wasn't even sure why Atobe had to get the entire team involved in his little surprise scheme after texting his boyfriend the event on his phone.
After practice was over, Fuji headed inside the locker room and sees Ryoma packing his things. He then walked up to him and said, "Ryo-kun, I have a proposition for you. Please come to my house because I have a surprise waiting for you."
Ryoma suddenly turned around to see the sadistic sempai smirking evilly at him. "What sort of surprise?" he said nervously.
"You will see. And besides, I am sure Yuuta wouldn't mind you there since he is dying to see you. Furthermore, my sister isn't home so we have the whole place to ourselves." Continued Fuji.
Ryoma gave it a thought for a moment and said, 'Sure, but are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Trust him, Ochibi! Besides, if you don't take the character role, you will be buying food for me and kikumaru for the entire week." Retorted Momo.
"What!? Since when did I agree to buy you guys food?" protested Ryoma.
"Ah, Ah! We urged Oishi to hand out the punishment to you if you do not listen to Fuji sempai. Therefore, you will go to his house and relax until the play comes to its conclusion. See you guys there!" laughed Kikumaru as they dashed out from the locker room. A few minutes later,, Ryoma and Fuji were out of the Seigaku school grounds with the gang following close behind.
"Don't you guys have stuff to do other than following me?" grunted Ryoma.
"Fuji-sempai invited all of us to his house because I have the camera with me. I can easily record you wearing that costume since you look so cute in it.
"You guys are not even supposed to be here! I can't believe Fuji-sempai agreed with this." Pouted Ryoma.
"Oi, Echizen, If Fuji said it was okay, we should be here because we want to see how cute you are in a dress. Don't screw this up! Unless you want us to send the blackmail photos to your lovers?" grinned Momo evilly.
"Don't you dare! I am so not wearing that dress!" shouted Ryoma.
"Echizen, just do it, or else we will have Tomoka and Sakuno come over as well." Warned Kaido.
"Please go ahead and invite them, I guess I won't mind being the laughingstock of Seigaku and Hyotei." Huffed Ryoma.
"Ne Echizen, you got guts, I wonder how my brother will feel if you don't show up?" The smiling tensai'smirk twisted a bit. "Please come to my house."
Ryoma immediately gulped. Fuji's expression did not change as he continued smiling. But his voice was starting to send chills down the boy's back since he is just like Shiraishi and Yukimura. Ryoma looked at him for a moment and sighed. "Fine, let's just get this over with."
"Then it is settled, we are all going to Fuji's house tonight!" shouted Momo
Since Fuji had volunteered to use his house to set ryoma up for the costume, his parents and older sister were gone for the night, leaving Yuuta there. Once the invitations and directions to fuji's house were passed out, they are to meet him at around 6:30pm sharp.
A little after 5:30 pm at Fuji's residence…
"YOU WHAT!?" screamed Yuuta
"Calm down Yuuta, I only invited them here because they just don't have anything else to do."
"Why did you even volunteer your house for the costume party set up!?" scowled Yuuta. Baka Aniki! Why would his stupid brother do something like this.
"It's just a preparation for a school play, Yuuta. Now hurry up and help me with this red riding hood costume." Said Fuji.
"Wait, you are not making me wear that girl costume, are you?" said Yuuta.
"Nope, I am making Ryoma wear it because he is the star that will take the role of Red Riding hood and I assume you and I will be assisting Ryoma on putting it on for him." Smiled Fuji darkly.
"Why me? Why can't you do it?" continued Yuuta.
"Because I have to tend to the guests. Furthermore, keep Ryoma occupied in your room. Pretend you guys are making out with each other." Smiled Fuji.
"HELL NO!" Yelled Yuuta.
"Come on now, it will be fun. Just watching you guys in bed together will be perfect for my blackmail pictures." Chucked Fuji.
Yuuta couldn't contain his anger any longer as he started chasing his brother around the living room. "Fuji Syusuuke, you're DEAD!"
As the scene continued to unfold in the living room, both brothers heard the doorbell rang and Fuji immediately opened the door to see Ryoma and decided to invite him in before closing the door. Once inside, Yuuta sees his rival and immediately shook his hand
"Hello there Fuji's little brother." Said Ryoma.
Yuuta groaned in disbelief. How could a little runt like him not remember the younger sibling's name that goes to St. Rudolph after the match they had previously in the Kanto tournament? After all, Fuji Syusuke was the one that introduced his brother to his kouhai not too long ago so why is Ryoma forgetting his tensai's brother?
"I am NOT Fuji's little brother, I have a name and you should remember it: Yuuta!" he growled.
Ryoma was looking nonplussed at that response and shrugged. "I guess he still remembers me." He then took off his shoes and settled down in the living room to relax for a bit while reaching into his bag for the tennis magazine and the Nintendo that he brought along with him. Yuuta then took a seat next to his friend and watched with interest.
"So, it's been a while since I last saw you, gaki. What have you been up to?" said yuuta.
"Oh, just been hanging around with that narcissist Atobe and the emperor of tennis Sanada. Believe me, those guys are tough as nails and if you try to crack them like a walnut, one of them will snap and use strict tactics against you. So, it's best not to cross them. Anyway, what do you say you and I spend some time together alone?" said Ryoma as he took Yuuta's hand and headed upstairs.
"Shut up!" shouted Yuuta. He was blushing hard at Ryoma's response. Syusuke immediately took the costume and handed it to his little brother before ushering them upstairs towards the bedroom. Once inside, Yuuta finally had enough of his brother teasing him and slammed the door. He then pushed Ryoma onto his bed, took the costume from his hand and settled it down on the floor.
"Fuji-sempai is really evil towards me, isn't he? Now he has to force me to wear this shitty costume in order to pose to my boyfriends. Not that I don't care but he is planning to blackmail me with those pictures later on." Said Ryoma.
Yuuta noticed it as well. "Ne, Ryoma, why exactly are you doing Red Riding Hood?"
"I have no idea, but something tells me that I am about to be molested." Said Ryoma as he heard the sound of the doorknob twisting and in came Fuji Syuusuke.
"Since you didn't have a costume, I guess I will have to call in for some backup. Eiji, Momo, come help me restrain echizen before he runs out the door." Called Fuji.
"We are on it." They said as they rushed upstairs and tackled Ryoma to the ground.
"What is the meaning of this? Let me go, sempais!" shouted Ryoma as he struggled to get himself off the floor. But no matter how hard he tried to move, Eiji and Momo held the boy down tightly like an overprotective alligator, thereby preventing him from dashing outside.
"Nya! You are going to wear that costume whether you like it or not! This play is really important to him!" Eiji said rather happily.
"I don't care! I am not wearing that skirt!"
"If I wear you, I'd put it on. But take the pants off first. You wouldn't want the pictures of you and Sakuno chan kissing together all over the place, would you?" asked Fuji.
"You are psychotic! Like hell I will strip in front of you!" shouted Ryoma. Damn, ryoma had forgotten about the blackmail pictures and scowled. So this is what the sadist had planned all along.
"Um, Fuji, I don't think you should molest him like that…." Stated Oishi
"Saa, it's no problem at all. He is just too shy. The red riding hood dress isn't going to kill O'Chibi. We're just dressing him up!"
"But-"
"Pleassseee! Do it for us and for your young love over there." Begged Eiji as he gestured his finger towards Yuuta, whom was vein popping like crazy as he hurled pillows at the red-haired acrobat while Oishi sighed at the scene in front of him.
"Fine, but just don't go too far." Grunted Ryoma.
Momo and Eiji took off Ryoma's shorts, leaving him with just boxers on. Once that was done, Fuji immediately slipped the dress onto Ryoma's t-shirt while Yuuta grabbed his sister's make-up kid and the accessories. "let the dress-up begin," he murmured evilly.
By the time Inui, Taka, and the other Seigaku regulars arrived, Yuuta dashed downstairs and opened the door to get them settled down on the couch before going back to the dilemma at hand.
"Ah, so Ryoma is dressed up as Red Riding Hood I-data" said Inui. He quickly took out his notebook and scribbled some notes while Taka headed over to the kitchen to see if there were any foods that needed preparing. Furthermore, Kaido refused to be a part of this fiasco and simply sat himself down on the couch resting.
"Where are the others?" asked Taka.
Oi! Taka! We will be right down, Just hold on for a bit longer!" called Momo.
"Get that red dress away from me!" screeched Ryoma. Eiji still had a hold onto the kid and not letting him go. Since Ryoma was putting up quite a fight, Momo had to come and help Eiji hold Ryoma down while Oishi sat down on the couch downstairs. He didn't know if he should help set Echizen free or just mind his own business?
Fuji had somehow managed to put the little girl's dress on Ryoma since it was red with pink frilly laces on the bottom and a bow on the back. It was RED!, Ryoma hated red and swore never to wear that sort of color in public. Not to mentmion the skirt had stuck to around the middle section of his knees. He also refused to look down to see the pulled sockson his feet with the disgusting laces on it. He was also give a girl's shoes that were buckled with yellow flowers. At that instant, Ryoma was really starting to look like Little Red Riding hood.
Fuji was trying to apply lip gloss on Ryoma. "Hold him still, Yuuta." And Fuji tried again. "Tighter Eiji! This is delicate work."
"Nya! I am trying." Ryoma scowled and twisted his head away from the lip gloss while Yuuta couldn't contain his laughter any longer. He didn't know what just transpired here, but Fuji had somehow spread the lipstick onto the Raven haired boy's cheek. That disgusting slime of lip gloss was on his lips.
Now wasting another moment, Fuji reached into the closet and grabbed a red Hoodie and attached it to the costume before taking out the mascara. "You are going to have to stay very still for this part, echizen." Warned fuji.
"Don't you DARE put that on me! That'll blind me!"
"If you continue to wriggle around, it will be difficult for me to put it on you. Besides, I would be dne with you right now." Said fuji.
Ryoma cursed profusely at Fuji and his friends, but he was powerless to do anything about it now. "And he calls himself the mother of Seigaku" thought Ryoma rudely.
"There! All done." Said Fuji. Eiji and Momo eventually let go and as he turned around, they rolled onto the ground laughing at his new look and immediately took photos. Ryoma on the other hand, hated himself and wanted to die so that he would be out of this pain and suffering.
"Don't even try to take the dress off or washing out that lipstick, Echizen. I still have those blackmail pictures and I can use the current photos of you in that look to show it to Shiraishi and Yukimura. Don't forget your boyfriends at Hyotei and Rikkaidai can see it too." Said Fuji evilly.
"Damn you!" roared Echizen.
"What the hell is taking them so long? Wondered Taka. Just as he was about to leave, the other regulars came out of the room.
"We're done. Look who is here!" Momo and Eiji pushed Ryoma forward while Yuuta snickered like crazy.
The other regulars were shocked at Ryoma's new look. Even taka was gaping while Inui dropped his pencil. Furthermore, Kaido was also shocked and covered his mouth so he wouldn't laugh. Sumiere on the other hand was laughing like a hyena and pretended not to notice, but seriously Ryoma is dressed up as the next Red Riding hood… This was going to go public.
"What the hell are you all looking at?" snapped ryoma.
"Be nice Ryoma! Nya." Said Eiji.
Click! Flash!
Ryoma groaned once again as Fuji continued to take ryoma's picture before ssending it off to Hyotei, Rikkaidai, Yamabuki, Rokkaku, and Shitenhouji. "oh, you darling little girl! This look really is you!" blushed Inui.
Ryoma's veins popped like crazy as his anger boiled. Okay, this has gone too far. First, Atobe had sent Fujithe photo of the dress and now Fuji did the same thing: dressing ochibi up and TAKING HIS PICTURE!?
"Gimme those photos, Sadist-sempai!" shouted Ryoma as he chased after Fuji.
Everyone else sweat-dropped. This play was going to be madness and they know it.
The next day, an assembly was held at Seigaku as the principal said to them, "Ahem!" the crowd grew silent. "That's more like it. Now then, I am here to tell you about the upcoming school play at Hyotei. This is the year that we all shall witness the school play that will magically come to life. We call it Little Red Riding Hood. This is where everyone must choose a dance partner to the music. Everyone is invited and I would love to see several couples together. I know you are all wondering why the youngest member of Seigaku is wearing a dress, well, I sifted through the photos and franklym I was very impressed with Fuji's creative thinking. I almost had a heart attack seeing Ryoma's new look.I feel that he will be a perfect present for the kings of Hyotei and Rikkaidai as a reward. That's all for now. Dismissed."
All of the students were surprised at what the principal had said. Seigaku was know for its superb tennis skills, but a school play? They were just speechless.
As for Fuji, he seemed to have other plans going on inside his head as he texted the photos to other schools hoping they will be satisfied with Ryoma's new look.
Back at Hyotei, Atobe was sifting through several forms when he heard a noise on his phone. He immediately opened it and looked through the photos of echizen's new style. He smirked and laughed like crazy as he dashed outside towards the tennis courts.
"Everyone! Look at what Fuji just sent us! Isn't my boyfriend so cute?" shouted Atobe as he passed the phone around to the regulars. As yuushi and the others looked, Mukahi and Choutarou snickered and started laughing. Shishido looked like he was about to faint while Jirou blushed like crazy. As for yuushi, he tried to wipe the sweat off his face and smiled. "Kenya is going to love this." He thought to himself as he copied the photo onto his phone.
"Damn! That gaki looks so cute in that dress. I think all the girls here should kiss him." Said Shishido.
"I agree, he is just too cute.. No wonder we made the right choice in picking him for this play." Added hiyoshi.
"Well guys, I think we just got ourselves a perfect match. I do believe Rikkaidai should see this as well and believe me, they will definitely get a good laugh out of this." Smiled Atobe. Suddenly, the pictures of beautiful flowers appeared in his mind as he continued to think about the marriage.
"He is off in his own little world." Groaned Taki.
"I am sure he just can't get enough of the brat. Looks like love is in the air for him." Said Yuushi.
Elsewhere in Germany, Tezuka looked at Ryoma's photo and smiled. He knew that the little brother wouldn't fail him and wondered. "The pillar of Seigaku has soared to new heights. This is definitely my number one picture." Thought tezuka. However, he texted Fuji telling him to burn those photos after the play is over since everyone is going to take notice of it. He said that if anyone else sees it, then they will be running laps until graduation comes.
Once everyone at Seigaku got the message from Tezuka, Fuji was satisfied, but now, he has to break the news to Yukimura and Sakuno since they cannot refuse their beloved cousin and kouhai since he did what they wanted him to do. This was a dirty trick from the sadistic sempai, but he had no other choice. This is fitting perfectly into his plan…
Author's notes. Well, I hope you liked Fuji's sadistic side. But Tezuka can be really cold at times because I barely know what his personality is really like. He is just cold and always keeps to himself. Sorry about him smiling earlier, but he knows what he has to do to keep his teammates in line. Read and review, please!
