CHAPTER 33

"Ryo-Chan." Sei called up the stairs as he put his shoes on. "Are you ready yet?" It was finally time to go to the school. Ryoma after calming down from his fit had gone upstairs to sulk. But the only thing that was wrong, was that it was a little too quiet for the boy. That is if he was awake and not sleeping somewhere.

Keigo had been forced to clean up the glass. Which he still hadn't, claiming that the butler was going to be here sometime this afternoon and he'll just tell him to do it.

The boy walked down the stairs slowly and was looking behind him after every step. Sei could tell the boy had done something, but was not going to say anything at the moment, knowing it was probably Keigo who was the target.

Keigo had now excepted the fact the Sei will call him by his first name. After all, he couldn't really complain when it was either that or he would follow Ryoma's example and call him Monkey King.

They had walked out the house with the cat checking his appearance was well hidden and started walking. "So, Ryo-Chan. What did you do to Keigo?" The boy looked at him and gave him the cheekiest smirk he had ever seen. Yukimura could only think how sorry he felt for the self proclaimed King at this point it time.

Keigo felt the peace wash over the house when the brat and Sei had both left. The boy seemed to have to much energy in his opinion. Keigo had manage to get the day off school and he was going to use it wisely. So decided to play some games on his new console. Walking up the stairs he could suddenly feel that something wasn't right. Slowly making his way to look into his room he felt his jaw hit the floor. "That Brat." Was all he could say. He knew earlier the boy was being too quiet for his own good. His private collection of photo's where scattered across the floor and his bed. Most in his mind, had to be kept top secret. It was the one of his pillow that made him curse.

That picture was a once in a life time snap shot. It was a time him and Mitsu had been together and had just had their fun. Keigo woke up early and took it. In his opinion it was mouth watering good. Tezuka was stretched out on the bed and only had a thin blanket covering his lower regions and one of his legs. While the other leg had hooked itself round slightly so it was out. This wasn't the only fact. He had no glasses on and 'I just had sex' hair. Where it stuck up at all sides and you could tell hands had been in it to use as something to hold.

'Shit...' Was all he could think. If Ryoma was loud about Gen and him doing it, then he had no idea what this could bring.

"Ryo-Chan, please tell me what you did?" Sei was walking and slightly begging the boy to let him in on what he had done to Keigo. "I promise I won't get angry with you." Ryoma looked at the blue heads pouty face, before turning back to watch the pavement in front of him.

"Did you know Kunimitsu and The Monkey King where together?" Sei froze at that. He was now wondering how the boy knew. Sei knew from Gen since both of them share nearly every secret together.

"Yeah... But they haven't been for a while. Why? What did you see?" Sei wanted to know now. The must of been something big to give it away.

"He had pictures." Ryoma lifted a finger to him lips in thought. "And in one Kunimitsu was practically naked. But had a blanket to cover him. He was also still asleep."

Sei could feel this fingers twitching. He wanted to phone Syusuke and tell him all the juiciness. He didn't care if he was heading to Seigaku right this moment to see him. Somethings where more important. He didn't even realize he had stopped walking until Ryoma had grabbed his hand and told him that they where going to be late. Sei let out a sigh and carried on. It seems it will have to wait. But oh, him and Syu will have there fun with this.

Going round the corner they heard the commotions. Ryoma had spotted Momo and walked to his direction not really caring about anything else. Getting closer Yukimura saw Kirihara Akaya. Sei felt shocked to see one of the regulars from his school. It was when he heard what Akaya was saying when he finally decided to speak up.

"Kirihara, I thought our rule was no outside matches unless the other regulars agree." Kirihara stood there frozen. Suddenly he turned to the voice and pointed.

"Ahh! Captain why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? And beside my lover goes to this school." Sei raised his eyebrows in question and amusement. "I'm going to guess you fell asleep on the bus again and ended up here, which is the last stop on the bus route. I'm also guessing that you didn't know this was Seigaku at first and only came to that conclusion when you saw Tezuka. So you challenged him and claimed you where investigating to the others here that asked you. And no I can not read minds, the look on your face say it all." He closed his eyes and smiled at Kirihara.

Kirihara could feel a chill going down his spine. The others where going to hear what he did. Not only that he was also late for practice. "Kunimitsu." They heard as a boy bounced up to the captain of Seigaku with the trickster watching from a distance. Ryoma stopped just in front of him. "Can me and Momo practice doubles now?" Tezuka looked at the boy with slight caution. He was in much too good a mood and something must of set it off but he didn't know what.

"Oi, who's the kid? Don't tell me Seigaku has gotten so desperate that their now using 12 year olds." And now the good mood the boy was in was gone. Kirihara had not come all this way to start a fight, but since he was here and was going to get punished by either Sei or Gen, then he might as well push his luck.

"What did you say?" The cat's eyes had turned into slits. "I'm not 12, I'm 16." Sei feeling the warning bells going off gave Tezuka a look. Mitsu knew straight away what he was being told, went behind Ryoma and put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Let go." Was all the cat said.

"Kirihara get off the tennis court and on the other side of the fence." Akaya was about to argue but when he saw the captain give him a look telling him there was no arguments, he did as was told and left. As soon as he got out he went to the side and watched.

Sei was standing around trying to find something the boy could get distracted with. Not coming with any idea's he could feel panic rise in his chest. No one could hear unless you where close enough like Sei and Mitsu. But Ryoma was letting off a slight growl.

"Ryoma, me and the headmaster decided to give you a private tutor. But that's only if he accepts." The cat froze at that. He would be able to learn. He liked that idea. Finally letting his body relax he looked at his captain with a questioning gaze. "His name's Seiichi Yukimura." Ryoma let his eyes go to the blunette in front of him. The boy seeing the others reaction knew that this must of been news to him as well. "Our principle will phone and give details to you. You also need the doctors permission." Tezuka spoke now to Sei. Sei just nodded. He seemed more shocked than the cat.

Sei deciding that he would have to deal with his team mate first walked over to him and gave a slight smile even if he was angry at what he just did. "Kirihara, I'll wait with you at the bus stop till the next one comes." He was about to leave the courts, but not before seeing Syu in the corner of his eye and turning with a smirk. Quickly going over to the tensai he whispered something in his ear. Everyone who was around watched as both of them got massive grins before they nodded to each other. All the tennis players knew that if the tensai had that look, it could only mean someone has been targeted.

Meanwhile Keigo Atobe was storming down the streets hoping to catch a certain brat before he reviles anything he shouldn't.
