CHAPTER 142

"I said for the last time, my son isn't going on dates with girls you set him up with!" Keiichi roared at his father as he held back the urge to punch him in the face. "It's his life let him choose who he wants to spend it with! You've already forced him to take over the company isn't that enough!" Keishi frowned as he took note of how defensive Keiichi was being.

"I'll have you know that I'm not going to let my grandchild marry some low or even middle-class girl. I've gotten the best of the best for him. He just has to choose one." Keishi said sternly willing himself not to shout back at his own son. "Besides I was lenient with you. You didn't get married until you were 32 and that was only because you knock some woman up." The old man noticed that Keiichi was getting ready to argue back, but he quickly carried on. "I'm not saying that I don't like Chizu, I just never thought she was Atobe material."

"You know what you can say what-ever you like. You know I don't have feelings for Chizu like that, but I love my son and Chizu is the one that helped me create him. For that I will always stand by her side. Now if you don't mind I'm going to leave before I end up killing you or committing suicide myself. Goodbye." With that Keiichi slammed the door on his way out of the study and went to his bedroom to pack some clothes.

Mitsu had a shopping bag in one hand and Ryoma holding his other, while Sei held the boy's spare. They turned the corner for their street when they stopped in surprise to see Akaya walking down the road from the opposite end.

"Akaya?" Yukimura asked in slight confusion. Letting go of Ryoma's hand and walking up to the second year. Sei waited for an explanation as to why he was here.

"Umm... Is Sanada-Senpai in?" Sei folded his arms and raised a single eyebrow in question. Understanding the unasked question, Akaya put his hand in his trouser pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to his captain. "I have a make-up exam tomorrow and I need to get over 60% in order to stay on the tennis team." Unfolding the paper Sei tried not to gape at the bad score.

"2% right... Akaya this is terrible and sadly Gen can't help you. He'll either be sleeping or he'll won't have the energy to." Sighing Sei invited Akaya inside as he noticed both Ryoma and Mitsu already at the front door to the house.

"Wow." Ryoma gasped as he looked around the lounge. Seeing they not had two sofa's and no armchair. Other than that, everything had been replaced had done with an exact replica. The cat then proceeded to flop head first on one of the new sofas taking in the smell.

Mitsu saw Akaya looking around the room, acting slightly awkward. Deciding to leave Sei with the two younger ones he went upstairs to check on his other three lovers. Opening the door to Kei's room he smiled slightly when he saw all of them laying there naked. Syu was in the middle with his back to Gen, who had his arms round the tensai's waist. Keigo was laying nose to nose with Syu with one of his arms being use as a pillow for both of the other two. Along with that all of their legs were tangled together. It was then that Mitsu saw a gleam of silver and noticed Syu still had the handcuffs on. Sighing he placed the bag on the floor and quickly went to his room to get the key out of the draw besides his bed.

Going back to the room where the three were sleeping, Mitsu went over to the side Gen was laying closest too. Sitting on the edge, the Seigaku captain caressed the vice-captain's cheek, while he whispered softly.

"Gen... Gen." Hearing a groan, from the one who was once sleeping as he turned his head towards Mitsu, Gen opened on eye and looked to the other. "Do you want to take the cuffs off Syu?" The captain held up the small silver key. More grumbling was heard as Gen took the key and took off the metal around Syu's wrists. Give the objects to Mitsu's, the captain didn't comment on the fact that it was oily. Instead he let his fingers run though Gen's hair. "Go back to sleep. Akaya's here as well so make sure you three are decent before coming downstairs." The vice-captain kissed Mitsu's palm before muttering an okay and going back to sleep.

Quietly Mitsu took out the things from the plastic bag and placed them on the side table before leaving the room keeping the door ajar.

Sei tried not to smirk at the sight in front of him. Ryoma had managed to piss of Akaya by talking in perfect english before muttering in japanese that only a moron couldn't learn to speak another language after spending at least a year on it already.

"Yeah, so what. You may be able to speak english, but that's only because you grew up in America. Isn't that unfair to say I'm bad in the subject?" But before Akaya could go on, Ryoma left giving the second-year a smirk and leaving for the kitchen hoping to find some ponta.

"Akaya maybe you shouldn't retaliate to him. If you ignore it he'll probably get bored and stop teasing you." The second-year rolled his eyes knowing Sei was right.

Mitsu walked into the room looking to the both of them. "Where's Ryoma?" Hearing the clattering sound from the kitchen, the Seigaku captain handed Sei an animated movie. "I'll help Akaya with his english, while you lay with Ryoma in here watching this. It's bound to keep him quiet for a while."

"You're going to help me?" Akaya squeaked feeling slightly intimidated by the thrid-year captain. "It's fine, you don't have to." Kirihara tried to think of an excuse only to be cut off by Sei.

"Akaya, if you fail this exam not only are you going to have to leave the tennis team I'm going to make sure you pay for it in body and soul." A shiver made its way up Akaya's spine when he saw the smile that was too bright on Sei's lips. "Do you understand?"

"Yes Captain!" The second-year shouted in fear. Akaya left the room in a hurry to the kitchen and sat down at the table to start his lesson.

"You know Sei, I always wondered who the real sadist is between you and Syu." The blunette chuckled as he went over to the TV and turned on the DVD player connected to it. "I'll give Ryoma his ponta if he hasn't found one yet and send him in here." With that the Seigaku captain left the room to see Ryoma standing on the counter in the kitchen looking in to the cupboards which he can't reach from the floor, while Akaya was watching with interest.

Syu woke to pains surging throughout his body. Groaning in discomfort he sat up ignoring Gen's and Kei's arms which had now fallen off of him. Rubbing his backside, Syu untangled his legs and crawled out the end of the bed trying to be quiet as possible despite being in pain and being incredible wobbly on his legs. Once he managed to get to the end of the bed he slowly got to his feet, biting his bottom lip as he did. Bending down carefully he picked up Gen's school-shirt, draping it over his shoulders and putting his arms though the sleeve before buttoning it up.

"Syu... Where are you going?" The tensai turned to see Gen now sitting watching his every move.

"Water." This was how Syu found himself laying back in bed watching as Gen put his school trouser on.

"Am I going to get my shirt back?" The vice-captain asked, but when he saw the smile on Syu's lips as he brought his nose to the fabric and taking in the scent, Gen decided to leave it with the tensai. "I got Mitsu to get you some pain killers and ointment." He gestured to the side table. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Stumbling down the stairs, Gen walked into the kitchen ignoring the stare he could feel directed at his back as he took a glass from a cupboard and filled it with water. "Gen, you should have put a T-shirt on at least." Turning Gen notice Akaya was not only staring, but had his mouth open as if he wanted to say something. "Gen, you have a couple of love bites on your back and from the looks of it one on your chest and another on the lower half of you stomach."

Looking down the vice-captain saw the two on the front of his body. Frowning in thought he tried to remember how he had gotten them. 'Kei...' Gen suddenly remembered that the king had given both him and Syu quiet a few. He felt more relieved that he had worn trousers down and had not just gone in his boxers otherwise his kohai would have seen all the love bites on his thighs.

"Neh, Senpai. Who gave you them then? Was it your girlfriend? Is she still here? Can I meet her?"
