27. Marui

Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis, if I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics about it and I wouldn't be wishing that Rikkai won Nationals and had more screen time.

First update in a while! It feels good to be back! Sadly, I probably won't be updating for a while again. Writer's block is the bane of my existence.

Sweets, sweets, sweets. That's half of what Marui thinks of all the time. The other half consists of tennis and friends and family. So when Kirihara said he wanted to go to a candy store, Marui was all ears.

"Akaya, you had enough candy yesterday." Yukimura sighed.

"But Buchouuuuuuu! I want to go to a candy store!" Kirihara whined. Marui perked up once he heard the word candy.

"I said no, Akaya."

"Yukimuraaaaaa! Akaya wants to go to a candy store!" Marui joined the second year in whining.

"You're just saying that because you want to go." Niou said.

"Shut up." Marui rolled his eyes.

"You know, this proves you're fat." Niou muttered.

"NIOU MASAHARU!" Marui began chasing the silverhead.

"BUCHOUUU! I WANNA GO TO A CANDY STORE!" Kirihara yelled. Yukimura massaged his temples. And he thought today was going to be somewhat normal.

"TARUNDORU! Niou! Marui! 20 laps! Now!" Well, at least Sanada took care of that. Now all Yukimura had to do was calm their ace down.

"Akaya."

"I WANNA GO TO A CANDY STORE!"

"Akaya."

"BUCHOUUUU!"

"Akaya!" Sanada finally decided to step in and attempt to save his captain from...a crazed second year ace?

"CANDY STORE!" Kirihara didn't even flinch when Sanada raised his hand for a slap. Huh. That usually worked. Yukimura snapped.

"Fine! We'll go to a candy store!"

"Yukimura!" Sanada yelled.

"YAY!" Kirihara yelled. Yukimura and Sanada sighed. Marui, who had heard the second year, ran over and joined Kirihara in celebrating.

"Marui, how much candy did you give him yesterday!?" Sanada yelled.

"It was only two pillow cases!" Marui replied.

"Marui, you know that Akaya can't handle that much sugar." Yukimura sighed.

"It was ONLY two pillow cases... I usually eat way more..." Marui muttered.

"Ugh." Sanada rolled his eyes and face palmed.

At the candy store...

"Ooh! Can I get that!?" Marui yelled.

"No." Yukimura replied.

"What about that!?" Kirihara yelled.

"No." Sanada replied.

"If the bratling and Fatty over there keep asking for candy, it's going to be a long day." Niou muttered.

"Okay, Marui and Akaya." Yukimura placed his hands on their shoulders to keep them from jumping up and down.

"You can each get three pieces of candy." He continued. The two's faces fell, but they agreed and once Yukimura removed his hands they each darted away. Apparently, they thought that three pieces meant a HUNDRED AND THREE.

"We're done!" They yelled simultaneously. Sanada face palmed and picked out six pieces and sent them to put everything else back. Bad decision, but in Sanada's defense, I'm not sure anyone would have expected what happened next. Despite the control that Yukimura and Sanada usually had on the two troublemakers, they ended up eating over 300 pieces of candy. Without buying it. Niou took the responsibility of taking blackmail pictures, obviously. The buchou and fukubuchou each ended up having to pay for each piece of candy that Marui and Kirihara ate.

The picture showed Marui and Kirihara stuffing their faces with candy and Yukimura and Sanada behind them, trying to stop them from eating all the candy in the store.

*sigh* School is taking away all my free time. Anyway, I would really appreciate reviews or feedback! If you have an idea you would like to see in this story, drop a review or send me a PM!
