CHAPTER 128

Everyone watched in awe as the Yamabuki pair stepped up their game. Using hand signals they started to play poaches which where sharp shots making their opponents aim it where they wanted it to land. The score soon ended up being 4-2 to Yamabuki.

Oishi sent a cross shot as Eiji was waiting for the return he stood in position. What surprise his though was that one of the Yamabuki players could hit a straight shot despite the angle it was played. In a rush, the red-head managed to return the shot with his racket behind his back and not even seeing the ball, giving them the point.

"Is it all right to start attacking now Oishi?" Eiji asked as he had landed on the floor from the last shot while you could hear the Seigaku students in the back ground all talking about his acrobatics play style.

"Sure, you've held back long enough Eiji." Oishi gave the other a hand to help his up. As he was told he went all out hearing the words of praise on his skills as he preformed moves that some had never really seen before. The score ended with it being 7-5 to Seigaku.

Once the match had started to get serious, Ryoma had ended up completely silent. Absorbed in the game so much that when it ended he had ran onto the court in excitement. Mitsu kept close to the boy knowing he could go a little over the top sometimes. Running over to the red-head, Ryoma jumped on the other and wrapped his arms and legs around his neck and waist.

"Hey, Eiji." The third year grinned at the kid. "You like guys, right?"

"Yeah, O'chibi. Why?" Lips slightly parted, the red-head watched as the boy's features turned from happy to serious. Eiji could see the gears working in the boy's mind and seconds later he felt a soft kiss on his month.

"Congratulation on winning against those Yama-people and I'm sorry I bit you earlier." Eiji felt shocked along with the rest of the people looking in their direction. He looked pass Ryoma to see Mitsu just standing there. Blank expression, but it was his eyes that showed he was hurt to see the cat kiss someone else on the lips. Just behind the captain was the tensai. Not smiling just watching with a serious expression on his face and his eyes were showing how possessive he really was.

Just as Kikumaru was about to speak up, Mitsu walked away. As he passed Syu, he whispered that he'll be back in 5 minutes. The red-head saw the sadist give the captain a small smile before turning back to him and giving Eiji this look telling him to explain to Ryoma what the boy should and shouldn't do. Groaning, Eiji carried the boy over to the side.

"O'chibi." The red-head looked into the golden orbs. "Nya, you shouldn't be kissing me." In return the cat just looked at him with confusion written clearly across his face.

"But Syu and Sei said I could show affection to certain people and I was really sorry for hurting you and you also said you like guys." Eiji placed the boy on the floor and watched as he looked round. "Where's Mitsu? Wasn't he somewhere round here a second ago."

"O'chibi. He left because he was hurt that you did that. You should only kiss your lovers on the lips. Okay. I'll accept the cheek and nothing more." He watched as the boy still looked puzzled, but nodded. "Nya, go find Tezuka and make up." With that the boy shot over to Fuji asking if he knew where Mitsu had gone. Once the cat was gone Eiji went over to the tensai.

"You know. Maybe you should explain things to him better when you teach him about certain types of affection." The red-head said as they watch Momo and Sengoku shaking hands before the start of their match.

Ryoma stopped when he saw Mitsu splashing his face with water. The captain grabbed his glasses off the top of the drinking fountain as he wiped his face with his sleeve, before putting them on. Turning, he finally saw the cat.

"Ryoma, just leave me alone for a bit." Mitsu closed his eyes and rubbed his temple waiting for the boy to disappear back to where the others were. Instead, he could hear footsteps and they were getting closer until they stopped. He felt the hand that wasn't on his head in the middle of two smaller ones. Slowly he opened his eyes to meet with golden orbs.

"I'm sorry." The cat whispered. "Really, really sorry. I'll only kiss Mitsu from now on." Despite trying to be serious, Mitsu couldn't help, but hold down a smile at what Ryoma had said.

"What about Syu, Sei, Gen and Kei?" He brought the hand that was on his forehead, down so he could caress the cat's cheek. "If you've forgotten already, I am in a relationship with them as well. Besides, I thought Sei had told you that you are also part of the relationship with them, since you're dating me."

Before Ryoma could try come up with something, Mitsu's thumb went to the cat's lips which were slightly parted letting the captain trace the bottom one.

"Listen. I'm happy if you kiss my other lovers or if you fall in love with them. But I will feel hurt if you do anything with the people who I'm not dating. Understand?" Finally taking his hand away from the boy face he told Ryoma to sit on the edge of the drinking fountain. The cat watched quietly as the third-year kneeled down and tied his shoe lace, after noticing it had come undone half-way though their talk.

"Mitsu, does that still mean you're my boyfriend?" He blurted before turning bright red. This time, Mitsu kept his face to the floor as he felt a smile crept up onto his lips. As he forced himself to keep a steady voice he answered back.

"I don't ever remember saying that we're breaking up." Finally managing to suppress the smile on his face he pushed up so his arms were either side of Ryoma and he was now staring down at him. "Ryoma..." The captain leaned in closer letting his lips ghost over the others. "I love you." He whispered, before closing the gap.

Mitsu took charge of the kiss, placing one hand on the back of Ryoma's head as he felt the boy's hands grab onto his hair and his legs wrap round his waist. Deciding to step it up and take a chance. Instead of backing away like he might have done, since he was in the public eye and anyone could come across this. He went to the boy's bottom lip and took it in-between his as he never once broke eye contact. Mitsu suck the lip hard as he heard the moan from Ryoma.

Horio rushed as he came out of the bathroom, knowing he had already missed the first half of Momo's match. Running, he took a short cut though the bushes and trees, only to stop. He had just turned his head for a second and saw them. Grinding his teeth, he hid himself behind a tree and watched as Tezuka kneeled in front of Ryoma tying his shoelace for him. It wasn't just that though. What really annoyed him was hearing Ryoma ask the other whether they were still dating. 'When the hell did they start?' Horio thought as he glared at the relationship the two shared. Sure he had seen them kiss, but the cat did odd things when he got excited.

The smile... Horio could see the smile on Mitsu's lips clearly. It showed how much he really loved the cat. He wanted to interrupt them. Stop whatever was happening, but found himself unable to move. Watching in silence, he couldn't believe how close the two were. Lips now inches from each other. It was like a flash. As soon as the two connected, Horio felt movement in his limbs again. Jumping out he was about to shout at them, only for a hand to make it way over his mouth as he was violently pulled back into hiding and dragged to the floor.

"You shout one word or pull them apart, I will really reconsider the idea of helping Syu plan your murder." Sei whispered with a dangerous tone in the others ear.
