Inui Juice Failure?

'Beep! Beep! Beep!'…. 'SLAM!'

Ryoma was not in a good mood. He was tired and that infernal contraption, known as an alarm clock, was way too loud in the morning. "Ryoma! Get up or you'll be late!" he heard his mother call. He grumbled and slowly climbed out of bed. After getting ready and satisfying Karupin, he went downstairs. Nanjiro was reading the 'newspaper' again, Nanako was scurrying around serving breakfast, and Rinko was on the phone. Ryoma grumpily sat down and ate the breakfast Nanako sat before him when his mother came over, "Ryoma, that was Momoroshiro. He said he couldn't make it today." Ryoma frowned, looked at the clock, and almost cursed. 'I'm going to be late! Baka Momo-sempai!' he thought. He grabbed his things quickly and ran out the door, leaving his family with sweat drops and question marks surrounding their heads.

He ran all the way to school, but was still 10 minutes late. "Echizen! You're late!" Tezuka yelled. Ryoma almost rolled his eyes, 'Thanks for stating the obvious'. Inui stepped forward, glasses gleaming with an evil smile on his face. Suddenly Ryoma was feeling really uneasy. "Echizen, for being late you get to try out my new juice." Inui said holding out a glass. Ryoma looked into the glass at the purple liquid, "What is it?" Inui looked thoughtful, "I have yet to name it because it has not been tested." Outwardly Ryoma looked calm, but inwardly he looked ready to kill. 'He's having me drink that concoction that hasn't even been tested once! Is he crazy?!...Never mind….' Ryoma sighed, "Whatever...", then he took the glass from Inui and slugged it down but nothing happened. Everyone had been watching Ryoma, holding their breath, their eyes widened when nothing happened. Kikamaru ran over to Ryoma, "Oi! Oi! Ochibi, are you alright?! Do you feel any different?! Tell me! Tell me! Nya!" Ryoma looked at Kikamaru with a confused look on his face, and then handed the glass back to Inui, "I feel fine." Ryoma walked away shaking his head, his sempai's were weird. Everyone looked at Inui, but Inui just stared after Ryoma, "Hmmm…" he looked really confused. 'It didn't work?' everyone else sighed and got back to practice. "Iiee data…." Inui mumbled, walking off.
