It Started With Blackmail

CHAPTER 5: The Plan

Fuji leaned on the doorframe, his dress accentuating his effemate curves. Yes, Fuji Syuusuke, tensai of Seigaku, was in a dress, and a ballroom dress at that. It was part of their plan. He was going to dress up as the opposite gender so that the main star would be less hesitant to do his part.

He surveyed the room all his guests were currently in. It was pandemonium as far as the eye can see. He was surprised that the fake confession had done so well. He had originally dubbed the plan they were currently doing as impossible, but seeing Tezuka's reaction, he was pleased that it actually worked.

~Now I see what Yukimura meant,~ he mentally smirked as his mind wandered off to that particular day that they planned this particular evening.

-FLASHBACK-

Fuji was happily eating a slice of chocolate mousse that his personal chef baked for him a while ago. He was sitting in a tasteful sofa inside his own quarters in their mansion. He was just finishing up when Kazuki, the mansion's butler, suddenly entered his room.

"Master Syuusuke, Master Keigo is already downstairs," he said dutifully.

Fuji nodded and dismissed the man. He got up and walked downstairs. As he reached the doors of the guest room, he instructed the maids surrounding the room that no one disturb them. When they bowed down in recognition, he nodded and entered the room.

When he closed and locked the door, he faced the man he loved with a genuine smile.

"Keigo, you're late," he said teasingly, earning himself an amused chuckle from the Atobe heir.

"Aa. I had to do a little research on our little project you see," the diva, dropping his vanity on calling himself 'Ore-sama', said as he gracefully plopped down the couch. Fuji raised an eyebrow at his statement, clearly interested.

"You've finally found a way to get them together? Even if it's those two?" Fuji asked as he sat himself down beside his boyfriend.

"You underestimate me, Syuu. Of course I did. Actually, I know of a couple with the same problem as we have here. Only, with their relationship, only one of them administers the same type of reactions as we have on our hands. The other half is as cunning as you, Syuu," Atobe explained the details as he wrapped an arm around Fuji's shoulders, thus causing their bodies to touch.

Fuji sighed as he cuddled into Keigo's embrace. He really missed Keigo a lot. They haven't really been seeing much of the other for Keigo was preparing to take over Atobe Corporations as the new head. He wasn't that much idle, though. He himself was skating to and fro on his studies and his familial responsibilities. Although he wasn't the eldest, he was the eldest son, so therefore, he had some responsibilities to see to so that they would at least hold his position in the economic market. After all, the Atobes and the Fujis are the two most influential families in Japan. It would absolutely would never do if he didn't have any power over something of a significant value wouldn't it? That would be very boring, seeing as he would absolutely no one to manipulate and blackmail.

This moment, however, both heirs were just relaxing on a particular autumn afternoon, deep into their hobby. Matchmaking.

"Hmm. Given their descriptions, I have a very good suspicion that its Yukimura and Sanada, am I correct?" Fuji said as he glanced up at the devilishly handsome face.

"Aa. I knew nothing would escape you, Syuu. It's them," Atobe said as he kissed Fuji's forehead. Fuji giggled slightly and looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Keigo, how did those two get together?" he asked the silver haired diva, his curiosity peaked.

"Ah. I knew you were going to ask me that, Syuu, so I brought them instead," Atobe said as he snapped his fingers. Instantly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Fuji said as he looked intently at the door. The door opened and Kazuki peered in.

"Master Syuusuke, you have other guests," he said.

"Lead them here," he said as he scooted closer Atobe, clearly not disturbed in letting the Rikkai pair know of his relationship with Keigo. Atobe just smiled at his tensai and waited for the other pair.

Seconds later, the door opened and admitted the Rikkai pair. Yukimura, as usual, was serenely smiing, whilst Sanada was sporting his usual poker face.

"Ah. Here they are, Syuu. It would probably best if they were the ones you question about their love story, ne?" Atobe said as Fuji gestured the standing couple to sit on the opposite couch from theirs. The pair obliged, Sanada albeit hesitantly.

"Saa. Yukimura-kun, may I ask you my question?" Fuji politely said as he looked at the other smiling tennis player.

"Of course, Fuji-kun. Atobe-kun here already informed us that you are in need of our help regarding a certain matter, so we will not hesitate to help you, ne Genichirou?" Yukimura said as he gazed at his block boyfriend.

"Aa. Anything you say, Yukimura," Sanada replied as he gazed at his captain, his features softening ever so slightly, almost unnoticeable. Unfortunately for him, though, he was in a room where the two of the most perceptive tennis players were, so naturally he was discovered.

"Saa. Sanada-kun, do you know you're expression is just like Tezuka's when you do that?" Fuji commented as he opened his eyes, exposing the endless cerulean pools hidden beneath his eyelids. Yukimura, who was looking at his boyfriend in earnest, blinked, then returned his gaze to Fuji, obviously interested.

"Really, Fuji-kun? Who does he give that expression to? I'm curious," Yukimura said as he leaned forward a bit. Fuji laughed softly as he trained his still opened eyes to his own boyfriend, his thought-filled gaze silently questioning him. Atobe sighed, understanding what Fuji was conveying.

"Yukimura, Syuu wants to know how you two ended up together. We're on a mission, you see," Atobe explained.

"Ah. And, let me guess. It has something to do with Tezuka and his significant other, yes?" Yukimura said as he laid his head on Sanada's shoulder, his face thoughtful.

When Atobe nodded, Yukimura's face suddenly broke into a huge smile of understanding.

"Ah. I see. You wish to know how Genichirou was able to overcome the fact that he rarely shows his emotions and ask me out, am I right? And this pertains to Tezuka-kun and Echizen-kun, does it not?" Yukimura said as he carefully studied the couple in front of him.

"Bingo," Fuji said as he smiled wider.

"You really are astounding, Yukimura," Atobe said as he shook his head in amusement.

"Not really. I'm just like you two," Yukimura said as he laughed softly.

"You're too modest," Fuji said as closed his eyes again.

"Hmm. So, you want to know how our regulars set us up?" Yukimura asked as he chuckled slightly when he felt Sanada stiffen slightly beside him.

"Lighten up, Gen. We must do this. It's really frustrating seeing them dancing around each other," he chuckled as his boyfriend looked at him with imploring eyes.

"Saa. Sanada-kun, we would appreciate it if you would loosen up a notch. We assure you that there's no one here but us four," Fuji coaxed the poker faced player, hoping that he would agree to them. Sanada sighed and shook his head slowly, a small smile flitting on his handsome face.

"Very well. If this is what Seiichi wants, I'd gladly give my help," Sanada said as he nodded. Yukimura smiled at him and settled his head on Sanada's shoulder.

"Thank you, Sanada-kun. And yes, Yukimura-kun, we would want to know how you two got together," Fuji asked them.

"Ah. Well, you see, our regulars got fed up with our apparent dancing around each other so they made a plan. You see, Niou approached Gen and 'confided' in him that he likes me. Well, Gen here couldn't believe his ears. It was morning practice then. For the rest of the day, Gen acted like a malfunctioning robot. The news reached my ears and I approached him because I was worried. Then, he suddenly asked if I had feelings for anyone in the team. Well, I said yes, of course. I was thinking that he knew I liked him so I kept my gaze down. But his next question startled me so much I looked up at him and laughed," Yukimura narrated, chuckling softly as Sanada sported a light pink blush.

"Really? What was it?" Atobe asked, interested.

"`Do you like Niou, then?' I realized that Niou pranked him somehow, so I said no. Then he blurted out that he would like to take me out later. Of course I said yes. Then, later he confessed that he liked me and wanted me to date him. I was really happy," Yukimura sighed as he scooted closer to Sanada.

"Well, well. I think that might work for Tezuka and Echizen, but I doubt only that would force Tezuka to admit. I think we might have to up the ante," Atobe said thoughtfully. The three tennis players nodded as they lapsed into a thoughtful silence. Suddenly, Atobe started and a devilishly evil smile flitted on his face.

"I got it! Halloween!" he said triumphantly.

"What do you meet, Keigo?" Fuji questioned, apparently slightly confused.

"A Halloween costume party! Yukimura's plan! Locked inside a room! It's perfect!" he crowed.

"Atobe, could you speak our language? We don't have your obscenely crazed mind, you know," Sanada retorted as he gazed at the cackling diva.

"Gen, be nice. Though, I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on what you said, Atobe-kun," Yukimura said.

"It's simple really. One of us will be hosting a Halloween costume party, seeing as it's only 2 weeks away. We are going to invite Seigaku, Hyoutei and Rikkai only. Then, one of us, preferably one of us, Fuji, would approach Tezuka beforehand and execute Yukimura's story. Of course, we need to have a hold on Echizen somehow. We'll force them to admit their feelings for each other if we lock them inside a room of sorts, don't you think?" Atobe said proudly, pleased that he'd thought of a brilliant plan in his opinion.

"Very crude, Atobe," Sanada immediately said.

"Yes, very crude, yet it might be effective," Yukimura said thoughtfully.

"I don't know, Keigo," Fuji said.

"Trust me, Syuu. I know what I'm saying," Atobe said.

"I know, but there seems to be something missing," Fuji said uncertainly.

The room plunged into silence once again, thinking of what to add on Atobe's plan.

"How does Tezuka-kun react when he suddenly spots Echizen-kun in the changing room after showering?" Yukimura asked, breaking the silence.

"He-" Fuji began then suddenly stopped, eyes widening in realization. His smile turned evil.

"He excuses himself rather quickly and dives into a stall, a hand on his face," he said evilly.

"Then we just need Echizen to be wearing something that would interest Tezuka," Atobe said, rubbing his hands together.

"Well, what does Tezuka find interesting?" Sanada questioned the room at large.

"A dress," Fuji said bluntly.

"Eh?"

"A dress? Are you serious, Fuji?"

"Hmm. Interesting development, Fuji-kun. I agree. And I think a wedding dress would be appropriate," Yukimura said gleefully.

"Then it's settled. We have a plan that we are going to execute on Halloween night," Atobe said as he nodded in approval.

"Keigo, let's include Inui in this, ne? I'm sure he would be willing to help, seeing as he would get many data here," Fuji said.

"Aa. As you wish,"

-END FLASHBACK-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuji's mind drifted to the present again as he heard a loud yell from Kikumaru. He just chuckled and entered the room.

"Ah, Fuji. There you are. Can you possibly help Tezuka over there? He's the reason this whole room's in pandemonium," Inui commented loudly, making the attention shift from the still unmoving Tezuka to him.

"Of course, Inui. My, all you have to do is this," Fuji said lightly as he walked towards Tezuka. The others that were crowding against the Pillar of Seigaku stepped back to allow Fuji to sort out the mess. When he reached Tezuka, he leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

"Tezuka, if you don't snap out of it, you'll never get to see Echizen-chan single again," Fuji whispered softly so only Tezuka can hear. Well, that did it. Tezuka blinked then turned his poker face towards Fuji.

"Fuji-" he began but was interrupted by Oishi shouting his name.

"Tezuka!" he said as he took hold of Tezuka's shoulders firmly.

"Tezuka-buchou! You're back!" Kikumaru screeched as he jumped up and down in his joy.

"Thank goodness. We thought you had a heart attack or something, Tezuka," Kawamura said as he plopped down the sofa he was occupying with Kaidoh and Inui.

"I thought I was the one going to have a heart attack, Kawamura-sempai! You could've clobbered Oishi-sempai in the head!" Momoshiro complained as he sagged down on his seat in exhaustion.

"What-"

"To clarify things, Tezuka, you zoned out," Inui said as he scribbled a last phrase onto his notebook and shut it. Tezuka just stared at Inui for a moment before glancing around the room.

"Gomen, minna. I was careless," he said as he bowed his head slightly.

"It's alright, Tezuka-san. We're just glad that you're ok," Ootori said as he smiled and sat back down next to Shishido.

"Tezuka, why did you zone out?" Oishi asked as the occupants in the room began to reorganize themselves. All of them looked at the pillar, curiosity evident in their faces. Well, everyone except those who already know why he was in that state.

"It's nothing, Oishi," Tezuka said dismissively.

"If you say so, Tezuka," Oishi said doubtfully.

"Ne, shall we start the party? It seems like the problem is solved now," Fuji said sweetly as he surveyed the room.

"Demo, Fujiko, Ochibi's not here yet!" Kikumaru said as he hugged his doubles partner.

"Oh, don't worry about Echizen. He informed me that he was arriving late so let's get a move on, shall we?"
