CHAPTER XI: Trickster
RIKKAI DAI
Pak

Clank
"Behold! My genius." Marui grinned, pointing his racket arrogantly towards Ryoma. Her eyes twitched, she ignored the claps and cheers around the court.
"Mada Mada Dane."
"Eh?"
Marui pouted and Ryoma shrugged. She heard Marui lost to Seichi big time, so she was warned he might go all out on her—which he was. As proof, he already let out one of his trademark techniques the Iron Pole Strike, which Seichi defeated during their last game.
Marui Bunta was definitely a great player, and albeit self-proclaimed she had to admit he had hints of genius inside of him. Like the other regulars, he had monstrous reflexes and instincts. Of course, she was not going to lose.
Pak
She hit his second serve effortlessly (since Marui was still looking down on her) and hit it on a corner which he too, effortlessly got to. She sighed, it was time to up this game. Seichi already knew of her abilities, and she was in an especially good mood.
She smirked as Marui purposely made a lob. She jogged to it, jumped at an impressive height and— BAM! Placed the ball forcefully on the ground before the red-head knew she already hit the ball.
Marui's bubblegum bubble popped and if he did not have decent eye sockets, so would his eyes. Along with everyone else's except Sanada's.
"Oi, Oi." The red-head chuckled in awkwardness. "I heard you never played tennis before."
"You heard wrong." She shrugged and went back to the baseline. She stared at him haughtily and pointed her racket at him. "Are you going to serve or not?"
And as if just absorbing things, Marui opened his mouth for an indignant yell. "Mou. I got tricked! Mouuuuuuuuuuuu-" he said and stomped to the baseline as well. "I'm going to get serious now!"
"Good for you then." She smirked, and Marui this time, put in more power in his serve by jumping. It was good, Ryoma noted, but next to Sanada's…? It was nothing extraordinary.
PAK!
"Whoa! He returned it effortlessly!"
"Sugoi, Etsuzen-san! He's playing so well against a regular!"
"Ii. Data." Yanagi muttered and started writing in his yellow notebook.
But little did they know… that the show was just starting.
…
Niou Masaharu, after finishing his unbelievably easy game with a non-regular, watched the ongoing game with a mixture of entertainment, amusement, and utter ecstasy. Looking at the scoreboard, they were not even finished with their first game. He was surprised Echizen was winning 40-15.
After a long rally where both parties showed their reflexes off, the ball landed on Marui's court, giving Echizen the lead of 1 game to Love.
"Puri!" was all he said, at the same time as he saw Sanada walk and stay a few meters to his right. He probably had an easy game, too, but he obviously did not rush like he did. Sanada seemed confident of the girl's abilities.
He mentally smirked and replayed (again) a number of very entertaining and vivid memories inside his ingenious little head.
Puri
It all started after he went to the new captain's large house. He always thought something was different with Echizen, but it was odd that he found it so hard to point out exactly what it was. After the visit, he went to bed and pondered a bit, and eventually lead to the conclusion that Echizen might be 'gay'.
But he could easily tell who was gay or not, from the miniscule muscle movements and behaviour patterns. Echizen's resembled theirs, but it was kind of different- like he was a different type of gay.
So, he watched carefully his movements and the interactions. It was then that he realized Sanada never said 'Tarundoru 'once since the bocchama and his guard came in. It wasn't because he lost the captainship, Sanada would never lose power over them, after all. Until he noticed that he acted differently when he was with the small bodyguard.
Niou mentally squealed in excitement.
Their stoic Fukubuchou was going soft.
He recalled he hypothesized Sanada was bisexual and Echizen was gay, and frankly for a few days it stayed that way. Until he saw Sanada burst out red when Echizen came close by- he laughed again (as he did so every time he remembered). So when he so obviously went out of his way to avoid the 'boy', Niou could not stop himself from following them.
His impeccable stalking skills proved to be extremely useful, and he found out a rather largely amusing secret. But then again…, he mused.
It would have been interesting if Ryoma really was a guy. Then, Sanada would be gay- making it all the more entertaining to watch him succumb to the cross-dresser's charms.
Either way, he was seeing what he never thought he would see. He would so make the most out of this!
…
"I won't lose to the smallest member of this club!" Marui shouted as he watched her nonchalantly dribble the ball. "And serve already, damnit!"
"Why? Cuz' you're the tiniest regular?" She smirked, recalling one of Sanada's slip-ups about Marui complaining about his height all the time. "It's not like you'll get taller if I serve quickly."
Silence
It was Kirihara's boisterous laughter that broke it. "NYAHAHHAHAHAH!"
Followed bu Niou's. "WAHAHAHAHA!-hic- NYAHAHAHAH!"
While a few others (who had more manners) stifled their laughter, only to fail miserably. But they shut up as soon as they saw Ryoma jump to make her serve.
PAK!
They watched the ball go to Marui's court and gulped as he took a stance, but-
"GYA!" The red-head yelled, touching his cheek that was slightly hit by the serve that magically targeted his genius face. "That ghurt!"
She shrugged, "Maybe if you were taller it wouldn't have it you."
"That doesn't even make any sense!" The self-proclaimed tensai yelled indignantly, again watching her dribble albeit more guardedly. "And what was that a twist serve? It really does look like the knuckle serve."
"But better." She said and at the time, Kirihara who was patting his stomach from laughing so much, immediately glared at her.
"Gakkiiii!"
"It's true, though." Sanada intervened making everyone near gape at him. Kirihara, who was more offended than surprised, cried.
"Sanada-fukubuchooouu!" the stoic vice-captain only sighed, massaged his head, and continued watching the game.
"Concentrate Kirihara. Watch." And after pouting, Kirihara and the others did just that.
The game went on. She never got an ace again, but she still maintained her service game. Since then, Marui got much, much, more serious and showing all of his impressive shots and skills as a volley-specialist. Of course, as her hearing was at its extreme, not to mention playing everyday with Sanada's invisible serve, it wasn't hard to overcome his tricks.
Soon enough, the crowds were full of surprised murmurs, claps, and plain incredulous expressions.
BAM!
"G-Game and Match! E-E-Echizen Six games to Three!"
And the noise a few seconds earlier and intensified. It was now predominantly yells and cheers that it had been a great game. Some even yelled encouragement to Marui that it wasn't like he would lose his spot as a regular. He's the last in the block, but a regular next to Seichi and her nevertheless.
As she mused these things, she and Marui walked to the center court and shook hands.
Seichi, eh?…. Her next game was with him.
"Congrats. I still can't believe we thought you never played."
"Hmn." She shrugged, and soon letting his hand go. "Good game." Was all she said, before proceeding outside of the courts.
She looked around for him. Her next game, eh? She knew they'd have several minute break after the matches now…, but would he play with her?
She paused.
All this time..., he had been showing her what he was showing to others only when he was on the courts. She wondered if she was on the court, how would it be different?
She looked around again, but still no sign.
"He left a few minutes ago. He has a game himself." He said and walked somewhere, she followed him unquestioningly.
"I see." She muttered and soon they ended up on the fountain near the small forest within school grounds. He allowed her to go first.
"He watched the whole thing." Sanada added, barely looking at her direction. "He would have been impressed."
'I wish' she mumbled to herself as she swallowed the water. Refreshing, it was, and for a moment she felt herself relax. But Sanada sighed, as if hearing her thoughts. "You better get ready for your game. This will be big, for the two of you."
"He'll be especially sadistic with me, I know it."
"It wasn't like anyone he played with got seriously injured."
"Oh, sure. Even the famed regular Marui Bunta got a few scratches. And he had inhumane reflexes."
"So do you."
"But he hates me."
He stared at her. "How can you be so sure?"
"He treats me differently."
"But he hates me, too, remember?" He said turning to her. "But he doesn't go out of his way to make me feel hated."
Ryoma could only stare. What was that supposed to mean? She mused, making him shake his head as if she was the biggest idiot he ever met. Her eyes twitched at this. But he ignored her and went in for a drink, himself.
Ryoma could not handle the anxiety, so she unconsciously leaned down to ask him. So when Sanada lifted his head, their faces were only a few inches apart. "What did you mean? Mind being blunt?" She asked, but to her surprise, Sanada stepped back. Too abruptly and it made her frown. She really wanted to hear what he meant. Somehow… it made her feel… hopeful.
Ah…, she mentally sighed. 'How odd… Sanada only says a few words and suddenly Seichi doesn't seem that bad anymore.'
"Tell me." She repeated, and stepped several meters to him… and to an uncomfortable distance with Sanada. "Tell me."
But when he didn't say anything, she was about to ask again, but she was shut up by Sanada's hand on her head. She found her fila cap (that she was just holding since she drank from the fountain) was already in her head. She looked up and Sanada was pulling his cap down and she could barely see him.
"Oi."
"Find that out for yourself." He said, and started walking away.
Ryoma could only stare at his back in puzzlement.
…
"TARUNDORU!"
"A half-an-hour break will be given for the final matches per block." He said, and he said their block last. "…and Yukimura and Echi-"
"There is no need for that." Seichi cut him off, earning everyone's puzzled gazes.. "I am tired. I shall forfeit my match. Ryoma-kun, is that alright?"
"O-Of course." She said and walked closer.
"A-Are you alri-"
"I am." He said dismissively before she could finish, effectively making her stop getting any closer to him. "I will get ready for home, I suggest you do the same." He said and turned to Sanada.
I will lead the rest to you." He said firmly and Sanada could only nod. When Yukimura looked away, he stole an inconspicuous glance towards the seemingly apathetic cross-dresser near him. Their eyes did not meet, and Ryoma just walked away, just like that.
Sanada frowned.
But he mused that this was none of his businesses.
Sigh
Ryoma placed the final piece of attire back to her bag and put it neatly to her back. She closed the locker, and finally proceeded out the room. She just finished getting ready using the boy's locker rooms. She actually had it for herself (Seichi had personal faculties at his disposal), and headed to the aforementioned faculties slowly. She knew she got ready faster than he did, anyway. As she walked though, a familiar flash of silver blocked her way. She paused and stared at its owner.
"What?"
"Hello, Echizen-chan~" Her eyes twitched.
"Che. Calling me by a feminine way would insult me?"
"Why would it be offending?" he smirked. "If it were true?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." She muttered and walked past him. She knew Niou had a knack for attention, but she had no time for him, nor was she in the mood to. As she walked though, he said something disconcerting and make her halt her steps and her heart to stop.
"I overheard your little 'talk' with the fukubuchou earlier."
She barely showed her surprise, but it was definitely there. And she knew he was not lying. "You-"
"I won't tell though. Don't worry." He said with a sly, sly, smirk on his face that she couldn't help but think he was planning something.
Sanada warned her before, too, to beware of Niou Masaharu's 'fun'.
"What do you want?" She asked guardedly, and his smirk stayed there as if she were a prey and he was the wolf. She despised this feeling. Even if she had been passive for a very long time with Seichi, he was never the wolf.
"Straight to the point eh, missy?" he paused, and combed his hair back with his hand. "I will, too then. Have one date with me as a girl, and I'll let this go."
She stepped back, aghast. "Are you black-mailing me?"
"Yep." He nodded as a matter-of-factly. "But it would basically be just half a day!"
"I can't. I have a job to do."
"But you're going home."
"He'll look for me."
"Will he?" He said mockingly making the aura around her change considerably. She glared at him and he, too, stepped back. "Okay. What if I tell you he suddenly had a large workload to do inside the safety of his home? It is less than a week before the district tournaments."
Silence passed for a while, but her guarded stare did not falter. "Did you pull anyone else into this?"
"No, of course not! I just overheard Yagyuu saying something like 'a lot of workload' and neither he nor Yanagi are unavailable later on. Ever wondered why practice had been cut so short?" He paused. "Knowing Yukimura, he probably would have pushed training until night if it weren't for their requests."
"…"
"So…?"
"What if he asked me to help him?"
"You don't sound so sure…"
Ryoma was not going down so easily. "But what if he did?"
"Then we'd do the date on a different day." She groaned. "Besides, considering your interactions with him earlier on, I'm fairly sure he wouldn't want to see your face."
Well, that hurt.
She wondered if it showed in her face.
It probably did…
Niou's surprised face showed it. "I… didn't mean that! It was a joke."
"Fine."
"Eh?"
"I will go with you on your 'date'."
"You will?"
She nodded without looking and turned around. "Finish your match early and meet me at the house before noon."
"Got it! See yah~"
She did not realize that Niou let out a victorious smirk as he watched her slowly disappear from his view.
YUKIMURA RESIDENCE
They reached the house without speaking a single word to each other. They separately greeted Rinko, who just arrived back from Tokyo, and went up the stairs. They paused in front of his room and he opened it. But just before closing, he paused and looked at her.
"I'll be finishing some work in my room. Don't bother me."
"Of course." She nodded. So Niou was right. But… just to be sure…
"Can… I go out?"
"Pardon?" he said, looking at her.
"For a walk."
She saw him raise a brow. "With Sanada?"
"…Ha?" she voiced out, utterly surprised. Where did that come from?
But before she could ask that, he was already closing the door. Her brain did not register the smirk on his face.
"Seichi-"
"Do what you like."
SLAM
And just like that, the door had been shut.
…
About half-an-hour later, down the kitchen, Rinko was innocently washing the dishes. It was her first chore since arriving back from her weekly days off, and it didn't take long for her to hear quiet footsteps down the stairs. Seichi announced he wouldn't be getting out any time soon so it could only be her daughter.
She sighed and decided to speak with her about the intensified atmosphere between them. This really had to stop soon.
But those thoughts were cut immediately as soon as she saw her daughter. She was… well, not cross-dressing.
Rinko squealed. How long had it been? (kyaa!) Her Reina was wearing a dark brown sleeveless turtle neck, and a humble flimsy skirt several inches below the knee. She even used the doll shoes she bought her all those ages ago!
Ohhhhhhhhh how her daughter had grown to such a fine woman!
And not to mention they were finally making some progress. She couldn't help but glomp her cute, cute, little daughter.
"K-Kaasan. You're suffocating me."
"Gomen, gomen." She looked behind her. "You look gorgeous? Siechi would be so sho-"
"He would not see me." She said firmly, as if ordering her.
"What?" She then looked over the stairs and opened her mouth to yell. "Sei-"
"What are you doing?" Reina vehemently whispered. "He is not to know about this."
"You mean he still doesn't know?!" Her eyes widened and Reina took it to her advantage to escape from her interrogations.
"Ja. I'll be back sometime tonight."
"R-Reina-" But she was already out the door.
Rinko puffed her cheek in annoyance and hurried to get her mobile phone. She let out a deep breath and impatiently tapped her feet as she waited for the ring to cut.
"Moshi Moshi?"
"Honey…?"
"Oh, Rinko-chan~ miss me already?" Her husband teased, presumably sending her kisses. But she was not in the mood to flirt with him. So she let out a large exhale shutting the flowers getting transmitted on the phone out.
"Nanjiroh..?
We have a problem."
…
Creak
Ryoma went out of the gate and looked left to right, finding Niou dressed up in a casual attire and rested his back casually behind the brick wall of the house's barrier.
She frowned immediately. He was shamelessly gaping at her. "Oi."
He chuckled. "Well, I knew you'd look good- but this good. I gotta say, I'm surp-" He was cut by a hand on his arm forcibly pulling him far from the house.
"Can we get on with this already?" Ryoma muttered impatiently as she pulled him to a safer place.
Niou chuckled. "You're weird."
She ignored him and appraised his attire. "You got dressed?"
"I'm always ready." Niou smirked slightly pulling his printed blue shirt forward to make his point. "Besides, I forfeited my game with Jackal for you."
"They allowed you?"
"I faked a stomach ache."
"That's just offending."
"The stomach ache?"
"The pretending you have a stomach ache."
"Your master isn't much better."
She stared at him, looking apathetic, but internally musing how to escape this topic. "Where are we going?"
He smirked and held the side of her waist to lead the way. "Tokyo."
"E-EH?!" Her eyes twitched. "Oi. I did not know of this."
"But you agreed without knowing, didn't you? Or did I magically hear wrong?"
"The latter."
He scoffed turning directly to her now, and she knew he was appraising her a bit as he spoke. It irritated her to no end. "…your master has nothing to do with it?"
"Of course he does it's my duty to include him in all of my decisions."
"Interesting." He said and continued walking to the bus stop. She could only stare at him suspiciously and follow. "But other than with him, you really don't look like a pushover.
"…and yet you are."
Reina frowned. "I'm tired of this."
"Why? Did Sanada tell you the same thing?" Niou said with an annoying smirk, but it disappeared when he saw her phone out. "Oi. What are you doing?"
"Texting him."
"Why?"
"So that he'll punish you for blackmailing."
"You're that confident he, the stoic former captain, would do that for you?" he said with that confident smirk on his face. She frowned. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn't. Who cared? He annoyed her. Period.
"I'm texting him for the integrity of the team. Black mailing me should be punishable by death."
"Oi, Oi." He grinned as he stole the phone and raised it up as far as his arms could reach. Did he think she was a kid? But no worries. She sighed, coolly stared at him, and got to it effortlessly.
"Oh." He said. "Impressive."
"Don't underestimate me, tricky bastard."
"Ouch." He feigned a sob. "We'd think you'd be more sophisticated."
"Whatever."
"Ne, Echizen-chan." She stared at him. What now?
"Oi, oi. It's not like I'm gonna strangle you or anything-" He replied defensively. "But really… how could that mysterious master of yours not know? Are you sure?" He was pertaining to her cross-dressing.
"I am."
"How confident…"
"Of course."
"Now I'm praying you're tired from all the talking."
Seriously this guy had tried to read her a little too much. His observation skills were useful inside the tennis courts, but outside? It was nothing but an irritating quality.
"Don't listen then. Someone of your calibre can tune what a lowly person like me has to say, right?"
She frowned. "That's right."
"Blunt."
"Thanks."
"But I'm curious. You get offended by his actions, right? I saw it." He chuckled. "You don't see him as normal guards look at their masters, don't you?"
She frowned at him. This topic was beyond un-likable. "If it was that obvious, why point it out?"
"Because it's entertaining."
Reina rummaged her brain for a comeback, and frankly it wasn't hard. It never was, unless she was speaking with that guy.
"No. " She corrected. "Because outside the tennis courts, doing things like these are the sole sources of your ego
"You try to manipulate people and see their reactions. Making them lose control." She said, glare not diminishing at all. "Just like a kid."
He shut up. Reina nodded.
"Good." she noted, before returning to her walk towards Space Land.
"You know..." That was Niou, a few seconds later, and Reina frowned. Does he ever shut up for more than 5 seconds?
"Teasing people like you... is thrilling hobby."
"Not really. It's just cumbersome."
He laughed. And wrapped his arm around her neck and led the way. Of course, Reina's eyes twitched in disgust.
"Oi."
"Well," He paused since Reina was pinching his poor arm. "I'm certainly going to enjoy this trip."
He held her shoulders tighter and she quickly sent him her strongest glare. He looks immune to them by then though, unfortunately.
"You might as well enjoy this with me, right?"
