Disclaimer: Pot doesn't belong to me. Too sad, isn't it? The concept of OTP5 (Sanada, Atobe, Echizen, Fuji, Tezuka) doesn't belong to me either

A/N: English is not my first language; feel free to point out the mistakes I made.
OOCness, attempt to humor, …

Please read & review.
Journalist (J): Our guest for today is Inui
Sadaharu, former member of Seishun Gakuen Junior and Senior High.
Inui (I): Thanks for inviting me.
J: You are a data player. What does it mean?
I: Data tennis is based on statistics. You have to observe your opponent in order to foresee his next movement.
J: Why did you choose to play this kind of tennis?
I: I love mathematics and it was the best way to improve in this field.
J: I've been told that your juices are available in shop. Is that true?
I: Yes. In order to earn some money I sold my juices to a company. Now we are working and in hand to improve my recipes.
J: What are you going to do now that you graduated from university?
I: I will work in Tokyo in Seigaku. I will coach the tennis players and in parallel I will work on new juices.
J: What happened to your friends from Seigaku and from the other schools?
I: What do you want to know?
J: First of all, is it true that Echizen Ryoma is no longer playing tennis? Many rumors were spread but nobody knows the truth?
I: Echizen is still playing tennis but he no longer takes part to big international competition. He injured his ankles during Rolland Garros. It healed but the pain didn't disappear. He took a lot of painkillers which forced him to stop playing during High School. Now he is studying chemistry. He wants to develop painkillers that don't make people become addicted.
J: That's sad. If we want to see him play, where should we go?
I: University tennis courts. From 2 pm to 7 pm. From Monday to Wednesday. There's also the possibility to see him play in various tournaments in Japan and China or other little one in the whole world.
J: What about is relation with Ryusaki Sakuno?
I: They have a strange but close relationship.
J: Are you still coaching Kaidoh Kaoru?
I: Yes. He is going to participate to Wimbledon, and we hope he'll win. His winning chances are of 98. The only player who could defeat him would be Mark Philipoussis. Kaidoh has improved, now he is able to challenge Tezuka as well as Atobe and Sanada. I think that he may even be the best player in the world if he keeps practicing.
J: We heard that he is getting married with Osakada Tomoka.
I: It's his brother Hazue who is getting married. I'll never allow him to leave me and marry this stupid loud-mouthed girl.
Realizing what he just said, Inui began to blush.
J: So you are in love with Kaidoh Kaoru?
I: Yes. Can we please talk about something else? If we go on talking about it he will punish me.
J: Hum…. Yukimura Seiichi from Rikkai Dai Fuzuku. We all know he was ill. He recovered and then suddenly he left Japan and moved to the USA.
I: His illness made a come back and the best way to cure him was to go to the Memorial Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. I received a letter two weeks ago. He is healthy and married with a lovely girl. They are expecting their first baby.
J: It must have been a great shock for Sanada Genichirou.
I: Indeed. But being part of OTP5 helps him to survive; if I may say so.
J: What is OTP5?
I: It's a fivesome relationship between Atobe Keigo, Fuji Syusuke, Sanada Genichirou, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma.
J: When you say fivesome, do you give it a sexual meaning?
I: Yes.
J: You mean most of the new tennis stars are gay?
I: Yes but some are bisexual. It's the case with OTP5. A girl is part of the association but nobody knows her name. The parents of OTP5's members are rather conservative. Learning that their boys were bisexual was a great shock. Knowing that a girl was part of their organization was a relief.
J: The girl in the organization is Ryuaski Sakuno, isn't it?
I: Yes.
J: Why her? I mean, many girls were more attractive than her. For example Fuji's sister or Echizen's cousin or Tachibana Ann.
I: Well Echizen's cousin is married to a journalist, Tachibana Ann is engaged with Momoshiro Takeshi and Kamio Akira and Fuji's sister is going out with her younger brother.
J: Incest? (He nearly falls from his chair)
I: No, she is in love with that horrible Mizuki Hajime but he loves her younger brother so she wants him to be jealous.
J: Can we please talk a little bit more about Ryusaki's role in OTP5?
I: She is their lover, the mother of their future children. She loves them all. She went out with Sanada and Tezuka before joining them.
J: How did she get involved in this?
I: As I've already told you she went out with Sanada and Tezuka at the same time. As she wasn't able to choose between them she dropped them. She was really unhappy and she met Fuji. He used to be her favorite sempai. Soon he had to leave Japan for his studies. Finally she talked to Echizen, telling him how unhappy she was, that she loved four men but that she didn't want to choose. He handed her a piece of paper with an address written on it and he asked her to go there before the end of the week.
J: And she did it?
I: Yes. Once there she saw them and they asked her to be their girlfriends. I don't have all the details. Most of them are in my 529th notebook entitled "OTP volume 12". I can fax you more info.
J: It would be great. Kawamura Takashi. What can you tell me about him?
I: Well he gave up tennis after Junior High. Now he is running his father's restaurant. He was the only 100 straight player of our team until he found out that a naked Fuji was far more beautiful than his girlfriend. From time to time he goes out with Akustu Jin.
J: What about Kabaji?
I: He is studying. He wants to be a monk.
J: There used to be various double pairs. What happened to them?
I: Let's start with Oshitari and Gakuto. They were an item but suddenly Gakuto left him for an obscure Chinese student. Oshitari decided to study medicine and he met there Kajimoto. For the moment they are together but I heard that they are having some difficulties. Kajimoto wants a dog and Oshitori doesn't.
Ootori and Shishido have a strange relation. It's an "I love I love you not" kind of relation. They can be together during a week then split up and come back together two days after their break up. They are still playing tennis and Ootori recorded a violin and piano album. Shishido is singing on one of the 12 tracks.
Oishi and Kikumaru are nearly married. They are planning to adopt a baby. Tennis is now only for fun. Oishi is a doctor and Kikumaru a dentist. Nobody wanted to believe that our red head wanted to study.
J: Last question for today. What happened to Horio Satoshi?
I: He repeated his first year of High School. He didn't go to university. He went out with Osakada Tomoka but she left him two weeks later. He is now haunting chat rooms in order to find the perfect girlfriend for him.
J: Thank you for answering all our questions. I hope you'll come back. I still have plenty of questions to ask you.
I: I'll come back whenever you invite me. It was a pleasure to chat with you.
