15 - Graduation, Give Me Your Second Button!

It was the graduation of the third years, and the tennis regulars are getting it bad. They were running all over the school, trying to run from the rabid girls that were running after them for their second button, except for Sanada. However, he was running as Sei-chan dragged him along, and he had no choice but to run. Finally, all of them seemingly converged at the tennis clubroom, hiding from all the girls.

A few days ago...

" Ne ne, all of you keep your second button okay, give it to me," I said jokingly.

" Second button?" the team asked.

" Yep yep, thought you guys don't wear a gakuran, the girls will be out to get it, it symoblizes a confession if you give it to a girl, as on a gakuran, it is the closest to your heart, and has all your heart feelings throughout the three years you are in middle school." I said.

" Confession?" they all seemed shocked.

" Eh? You all don't know? Its the current buzz between girls in Seigaku right now," I grinned.

" Do you really want my button?" Sei-chan asked teasingly.

" Why not? But I can't reply to your feelings cause I have Shuu-nii's button already," I grinned, showing off the button from the Seigaku gakuran, with the school crest over it, though Seigaku has not done its graduation yet, " But besides me, I think you all should just pluck off the button first, and tell the girls you gave it to someone already, while keeping it in your pocket," I adviced them.

" Girls can get really scary... I remember my sister plucking of the button of the boy she liked in school on her graduation day. The boy was so shocked that he couldn't do anything but cry about it. And when my sister saw him cry, she threw him back the button, and turned to leave..." Akaya said.

" Now I feel like my life's being threatened..." Bunta gluped.

" So, give me your button?" I asked.

" No way!" they replied.

Back to the present...

I entered the school in the 'Rikkaidai first year cosplay' illegally again, and headed to the clubroom only to find all the girls outside, trying to bang down the door. Curious, I went the round-about way, and got in through the window.

" Gah! One of them got in!" I heard Bunta's voice.

" Quick! Knock her out!" Niou said.

" Chotto, what do you mean by knocking me? Especially when I came to say congratulations for your graduation?" I asked.

" Yukiko-chan!" they all lighted up.

" So, this cosplay looks convincing?" I mused.

" Of course," Yanagi said, " I've made sure that to let you sneak in illegally, it was made to make you look 99.9% like a Rikkaidai first year," he seemed to take pride in it.

" Right right, thank you very much, and congratulations on your graduation~" I said and pulled a party popper on all of them, " So, why are you all hiding here? Protecting your second button?" I asked.

" You're after it too?" Jackal asked me, seemingly shocked.

" If its alright with you, you can give it to me, I won't be able to accept your feelings though, I'll be fine even if I don't have it," I said, " Its not like I must have it to ensure that all of you love me. I'm sure you all love me a lot already, ne, Akaya-kun?" I teased the new Captain.

" Call me Captain Kirihara!" the seaweed head fumed.

" Ah right, Captain Kirihara, beware to protect your button next year," I teased him further.

Turning beet red, the boy decided to ignore me.

Lazing about on the cushion, I ended up snuggling up in between Sei-chan and Gen-chan. All of a sudden, the door swung inwards. The girls had found the hidden key after flipping through Sei-chan's pot of Dahlia flowers.

Immediately, the year three regulars all slipped out of the windows, and started running. As soon as the horde of girls continued chasing them, the tennis clubroom was empty again.

" Ne, Akaya-kun, let's play a match outside," I smiled.

" No, its so cold!" he shivered involuntarily.

" Please?" I gave him the puppy eyes, " Captain Kirihara?" I pleaded.

" F-fine!" he gave in, flattered.

Together we went out, and played, while the year three regulars ran about the courts, as if they were having tennis training, trying to prevent the rabid girls from getting their second button, sacrificing their other buttons, including the buttons on their sleeves.

Starting the game, I served as usual, the twist serve. Easily returning my serve, Akaya smirked at me, telling me, " You have to do harder than this,"

" Of course," I replied, and looped him into my Haru no Chou technique, as well as the Tezuka Zone, but not exactly, so it was called Melody Zone.

" Now your showing some stuff," he grinned and played along, as the rest ran their lives away outside the courts where we were playing.

As we took a break, Akaya shouted to his senpais, " Captain Akaya adds twenty more rounds to your trainings~"

" Akaya! I'm soo killing you for this!" Niou said.

" Tarundoru! Why am I running when none of them are after my button?" Gen-chan asked.

" Are you sure?" Sei-chan asked, pointing to behind Sanada where he found a horde of girls chasing after him.

" Since when did I get chased?" Sanada asked.

" Since we left the club room," Yanagi told him.

" Tarundoru," he grumbled and continued running.

" Ganbare~" I cheered them on before going to continue my match with Akaya.

By the time the girls were tired, and gave up chasing, the regulars were equally tired, and panting away. They entered the courts just as Akaya and I finished our game, with a tie of six to six.

" So how was the jog?" I joked.

" Terrible..." Yagyuu replied, being the only one who politely answered.

Allowing them a rest, I passed around my canteen of water, and all of them drank greedily, not bothering if it was an indirect kiss already. Akaya just sat there, snickering away at his senpais.

" But it was certainly hard, protecting this for you," Sei-chan kissed my forehead and handed me his second button.

" Eh? I thought you were going to keep it for yourself?" I asked.

" You know I wanted to give it to you," he smiled.

" I'm sorry, I can't reciprocate your feelings," I lowered my head.

" Its alright," he ruffled my hair, " You alway be my best childhood friend," he said.

" Thank you..." I said as tears filled my eyes, " Congratulations on your graduation," I wished him, smiling with tears in my eyes.

" Here," Sanada stuck out his hand to me, turning beet red.

" What?" I asked annoyed, " Can't you give it in a more gentlemanly manner?" I asked and took his second button.

" Yukiko-chan, don't tease him anymore, he's at his limit," Sei-chan stifled a laugh as Sanada turned all the more red.

" Hey Yukiko, I can give you my button, but my heart belongs to all the women out there," Niou told me, flinging me his button.

" Here, my button, but I don't have any romantic feelings towards you," Yagyuu told me.

" This is thanks for always buying me gum," Bunta said and gave his button to me.

" I don't really understand this button thing, but I'll just give my button to you. Its just a button anyway." Yanagi said and handed me his button.

" Yukiko, since I've lost all my other buttons, losing another on is nothing," he said and gave his button to me.

" Now it looks like I'm some mad button collector..." I said as tears continued to roll.

" Isn't that so you?" Niou teased me.

" So mean," I cried somemore, " What if I can't remember whose button is whose?" I asked.

" There are our initials at the back of the button," Sei-chan told me.

" I'll miss you when you go to high school..." I said and cried into Sei-chan's de-buttoned school uniform.

" Well, just come over to Rikkaidai when you have the time, if you're not transfering schools. We'll make the time to meet you. And if you're transfering, just sneak into the high school department together with Akaya. We'd very much welcome you," Sei-chan put my stray hair behind my ear.

" Yea..." I cleaned my tears, " Sotsugyo omedeto [Congratulations on your graduation]," I repeated.
