Chapter 3: Fuji Brothers After School Part I

"Is everyone ready?" Shiraishi asked as he held up the remote.

"Wait! I have to pee first!" Akaya yelled, jumping up and rushing towards the little restroom that was located on the left side of the room. Some people decided that a quick bathroom break was in order while some decided to stretch their legs. A few people, like Marui, Kintarou and Ryoma, were trading snacks and beverages for the next upcoming pairpuris.

"Is the coach still asleep?" Oishi asked, looking a little worried.

"Yup. If he wasn't snoring, I would think he was dead." Ryoma answered, sitting back down at his seat with his bag of traded goods. He reached in and grabbed a ponta.

"Why do you always drink those? Do they even taste good?" Jirou asked, curiously.

"If they didn't taste good, I wouldn't be drinking it." Ryoma stated flatly. He took another sip of his purple drink before looking at Jirou. "Why do you always eat those?" He asked back, pointing at the stick that was sticking out of Jirou's mouth.

"Because it tastes good! Pocky is my favorite!" Jirou replied cheerfully, munching on another Pocky stick. He walked towards Ryoma and sat down. "I like to taste all the new flavors. They have simple flavors like strawberry, milk, and honey. But they also have complex flavors like tiramisu, chocolate banana and strawberry shortcake. My all-time favorite though will always be simple chocolate! What about you- what's your favorite ponta?"

"Grape, obviously. If there was no grape, I could live with either apple or funmix." Ryoma answered, grabbing a milk pocky from Jirou.

"Ooh…What's 'funmix'?" Jirou asked, now licking a cinnamon lollipop that he traded with Marui.

"It's a mix of orange and cola." Ryoma told him, now drinking his second can of ponta.

Jirou nodded and looked back at Marui who was walking their way. "What about you Marui-san? What's your favorite gum?"

Leaning against one of the couches, Marui answered, "I'm a sucker for the regular ones. The flavored gums are okay, but I prefer to chew on the ones that taste like pure sugar, no added flavorings."

"Those are my favorites too!" Jirou said cheerfully. "What about you, Ryoma?"

"Yeah, they're good. I don't really chew gum a lot." Ryoma shrugged.

"Ugh, you three." Momo said, walking back to his seat after using the restroom. "You're like the 'Sweet Trio'. How the hell can you stand all that sweetness, yo? Don't you get sick, na?"

The 'Sweet Trio' looked at each other for a moment before Jirou replied, "Nope! I'm narcoleptic so the sugar actually helps me to keep awake."

"My weakness is my lack of stamina so I compensate it by eating sweets and bubblegum during and outside of my tennis games." Marui told him.

"I actually have hypoglycemia- which means low blood sugar- so I drink sugary drinks to prevent the dizzy feeling I sometimes get." Ryoma said off-handedly. Momo looked at him with wide eyes- he knew Ryoma was telling the truth since he knew that his best friend was a terrible liar.

"Echizen! Why didn't you tell me you were sick! My god, I'm supposed to be your best friend- I need to know these kinds of things!" Momo said, hysterical.

"What? Echizen is sick?" Oishi overheard their conversation and was now making his way towards them. He grabbed Ryoma by the shoulders and forced his kohai to look him straight in the eye. "Echizen. If you ever need help or just someone to talk to about your sickness, me or your other senpais will be there for you no matter what." He told Ryoma seriously.

Ryoma just blinked at him. He was about to say something, but someone glomping him from behind prevented him from even moving. "Waahhhh- Ochibi! You're dying?" Eiji wailed, burrowing his face into Ryoma's shoulder. "No! you're too young to die, nya! You haven't even married Tezuka-buchou yet!"

"Eiji! You don't need to remind Echizen about the things he won't be able to do! You'll just make him more upset." Oishi scolded. "We need to think positive and be there for him."

"For pete's sake, I'm. Not. Dying." Ryoma told them, speaking very slowly so they would understand what he was saying.

"But you have a sickness." Momo said, looking both confused and worried for his best friend.

"You can't die from hypoglycemia!" Ryoma yelled, exasperated.

"Actually you can." Inui had just finished using the restroom and walked into the room, listening to their conversation. He went up to them and pulled out his notebook. Opening it, he read, " Hypoglycemia- or low blood sugar- is an abnormally diminished content of glucose in the blood. The term literally means "under-sweet blood" It can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose to the brain, resulting in impairment of function. Effects can range from mild dysphoria to more serious issues such as seizures, unconsciousness, and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death."

'Thank you so much, Inui.' Ryoma thought sarcastically, rolling his eyes at his panicking senpais. He could tell that the only part his senpais really heard out of Inui's report was the word death. Sighing, Ryoma thought, 'When are you coming out of the restroom, Mitsu? Hurry up and make them run laps or something.'

His three senpai's continued to panic over their youngest member while the other three teams looked on, confused on what was going on.

"For the last time, I am not dying!" Ryoma yelled again, a big tick mark appearing on his forehead. "Inui said that death 'rarely' occurs! Heck, Jirou here has a bigger chance of dying than me- he might fall asleep somewhere and could get murdered by a pervert or something."

"Jirou-senpai is dying?" Ootori asked, looking at the narcoleptic in shock. He and Shishido had been talking in private, but Ootori happened to hear a bit of their conversation.

"I'm dying?" Jirou asked back, looking at them all with wide eyes.

"No. I think I'm the one whose dying." Marui chipped in, grinning at the direction the conversation was going.

"Nooo! I don't want Marui-san to die!" Jirou- Marui's number one fan boy- wailed.

"You can die in my place then." Marui offered, amused.

"No! I don't want to die! I haven't had the chance to try the new peanut butter pocky yet!" Jirou cried, pressing his hand to his chest to make sure his heart was still working.

"Hey Marui, heard you were dying. Probably because your body couldn't handle all the fat you piled on it. Don't forget to come back and tell us how heaven- or most likely hell- is like, piyo." Niou jumped in. Marui stuck his tongue out and then glared as Niou stole one of his candies.

"Marui-senpai is dying?" Akaya asked, so shocked that he dropped the small bag of chips he was holding.

"And they say that Shitenhouji are the weird ones. At least we're the not the ones killing off our teammates." Zaizen whispered and Kenya nodded in agreement.

"No one is dying!" Ryoma repeated for the umpteenth time.

"What is going on here?" Everyone turned and saw Tezuka before them, arms crossed and wearing his usual serious expression.

"Nothing. They were just having a stupid conversation." Ryoma answered quickly, dragging Tezuka back to their seat. He sent a glare to everyone that told them that the conversation was over.

"I wonder what the next Pairpuri will be about?" Yukimura mused. Ryoma sighed, glad for the change of topic.

"Hopefully it's about me!" Akaya yelled, running back to his place in the room.

"If it is, then it'll probably be boring." Marui teased, chewing on a twizzler. Akaya stuck his tongue out but kept his mouth shut at his redheaded 'dying' senpai.

After the break was over, and everyone was settled, they waited in excitement for the show to begin.

"Ooh! I wonder what this one will be about?" Jirou squealed. Atobe smiled at him, cuddling closer.

"Rikkaidai better be in it." Akaya muttered.

It all begins at what looked like the Tokyo Train Station. A familiar figure could be seen leaning against one of the pillars there.

"Hey, doesn't that person look familiar?" Kenya asked, squinting his eyes at the screen.

"It looks like Fuji-senpai." Momo commented.

"Shh! Don't tell me you guys are gonna interrupt every five seconds like the last pairpuri." Zaizen said in exasperation.

"If I recall, you also interrupted the movie a few times yourself, Zaizen." Gin pointed out.

Fuji Yuuta looked to be in a hurry, running towards something or someone, and instead of wearing his St. Rudolph uniform, he was in casual clothes. "Aniki!" He yelled.

"Yuuta!" Fuji exclaimed, surprised. He looked happy to see his brother as he smiled gently at the screen.

"He must really love his brother." Jackal said, looking at Seigaku's tensai.

"Yup. To the point of him having a brother complex." Ryoma added.

"Ryoma." Tezuka chided, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend.

"It's true Mitsu." Ryoma shrugged.

"Yeah. We all know how protective Fuji is over Yuuta." Kawamura told the. All the Seigaku players nodded their heads, agreeing with him.

"Are all of you close to Yuuta-san?" Yagyuu asked them.

"He used to go to Seishun Gakuen about a year before Echizen joined." Oishi answered.

"I never heard anything about Seigaku having the younger Fuji on their tennis teams. Surely he would have been part of your ranking matches?" Yanagi asked, wondering why he was not aware of this certain piece of information.

"No. He didn't join Seigaku. I think he went to a private tennis club and had a hired coach train him instead, right?" Kaidoh said, looking at his senpai for confirmation. Fuji nodded.

"Really?" Shishido asked, surprised. He wasn't the only one- there were others in the room who didn't know much about the younger Fuji as well.

"But why did he transfer out of Seishun Gakuen?" Chitose asked.

Fuji looked away from the screen and decided to answer the question. "Because he wanted to get away from me." he told them, smiling sadly.

"Fujiko…" Eiji whimpered, rushing to give his best friend a hug.

"Why would he want to get away from you?" Gakuto asked. Shishido and Zaizen, who were sitting close by, hit him in the head. "Itai!"

"It's okay." Fuji assured them.

"Ever since they were young, Yuuta was always in his older brother's shadow. Since Fuji was a tensai, people couldn't help but compare Yuuta to him. No matter where Yuuta went, people would always acknowledge him as 'Fuji's younger brother' and not just as 'Yuuta'. Yuuta tried very hard to be like his brother but failed. Fuji tried to help, but he just made things worse. Yuuta soon began to resent Fuji and a rift appeared between them." Inui told the other teams. Everyone looked at the older Fuji with pity and sympathy in their eyes. Some of them were even crying at the 'tragedy' of the Fuji brothers.

"Poor F-F-Fuji!" Akaya cried, blowing his nose on his sleeve. He felt sorry for both the older and younger Fuji's.

"But at the same time, poor Yuuta for what he had to endure with for most- if not all- of his life." Yuuji pointed out. He sent Koharu a sad look, which increased when Koharu just looked away. Apparently, the pair was still fighting and hadn't made up yet.

"It's hard being the sibling of a genius." Marui nodded. "I mean, look at my siblings. Sometimes they can't help being jealous of my brillian-mmph!" Jackal covered up Marui's mouth while everyone just rolled their eyes at the self-exclaimed genius.

"But based on the screen, it seems that you're relationship with your brother has gotten better." Hiyoshi pointed out.

"Yes it has." Fuji said, smiling gently again as he looked at his brother's face on the screen. "And it's all thanks to a certain match that happened a few years ago." As he said that, he shifted his gaze to Ryoma. Ryoma saw this and gave Fuji a blank look before changing it to a smirk. Yeah, he remembered that match.

The familiar figure from before happened to be Fuji Syuusuke, Yuuta's older brother. He was also wearing casual clothes like Yuuta and he looked at his younger brother with closed eyes and his usual gentle smile. Giving a chuckle, he said, "Yuuta! It's been a while. Sorry for calling you so suddenly."

"Ah, so it was Fuji." Kenya said and Momo nodded.

Tired from running, Yuuta leaned down a bit to catch his breath. Yuuta was wearing a long sleeved white shirt that came up to his elbows with a black sleeveless cardigan over it. He had on khaki pants rolled up to his knees and carried a gray shoulder bag. Fuji on the over hand, wore a black and gray checkered long sleeve top with a black vest and black tie. He had loose jeans that were rolled up a bit on the bottom and brown shoes. He was also carried a shoulder bag, but in brown.

"Oresama must admit, you Fuji brothers have excellent fashion sense." Atobe commented. "But Oresama's fashion is ultimately better, nah Kabaji?"

"Usu." Kabaji nodded. Ryoma just rolled his eyes but didn't say anything because of the warning look Tezuka gave him.

"Atobe's right. They both have different styles but it matches their personality well." Oshitari added.

"Yup! Fuji-kun's style is more sleek and gentlemanly while Yuuta-kun's style is more rough and rugged. I love them both, gyyaa! I can't decide!" Koharu squealed, ignoring the dark look Fuji sent him.

"They really don't look alike- it makes me wonder if they're really related." Zaizen muttered.

Yuuta panted, "What? You texted me saying it was an emergency."

Fuji gave another little chuckle, "Gomen, gomen- I thought you wouldn't come if I didn't say that."

Yuuta gave his aniki a look of disbelief, "Eh? That means you were lying?"

Fuji, unrepentant, just smiled at his brother. "Well, it's not necessarily a lie, you see…"

Exasperated, Yuuta demanded, "Huh? I don't understand the point here."

"I don't understand it neither." Akaya muttered.

Trying- but failing- to hide his smile, Fuji merely said cheerfully, "Let's make it a date!"

Everyone looked at Seigaku's tensai. Fuji saw this and smiled back at them asking, "Yes? Is there something you all wanted?" They just shook their heads and looked back at the screen.

'Brother complex. Poor Yuuta.' They all thought.

Yuuta looked angry, but mostly irritated. His face scrunched up- his eyes closed, a big red tick shown on his forehead and nostrils flared- he gritted his teeth and spit out, "DATE? Are you kidding me?" Another tick shown up as he said this. "I'm leaving."

"Ooh! I see the resemblance between them now!" Kintarou shouted, pointing at the screen. "They really are brothers."

"Well, with their faces side by side like that, it's hard not to. Especially with the expression Yuuta has on right now." Sanada said. The others nodded.

"Hmm, Fuji. You and you're brother share the same eyes and nose, I see." Yukimura observed.

"Why thank you, Yukimura." Fuji smiled happily at Rikkaidai's captain.

Chuckling, Fuji commented, "You look cute when you're angry."

"And you wonder why he's gets irritated by you often?" Shishido asked, raising an eyebrow at Fuji. Ootori gently chided his boyfriend for his rudeness.

At the comment, two more ticks showed up, "I'm seriously gonna go back, you know?"

Putting up his hand in apology, Fuji told him, "Got it, got it. Sorry. Listen, I want you to go shopping with me."

With his hands on his hips, Yuuta pouted. "Shopping?"

"Kyaa! Yuuta looks so kawaii!" Jirou squealed, jumping up and down. Atobe tried to calm him down, feeling a little jealous of Yuuta- although he would never admit it.

"He is, isn't he?" Fuji gushed, clapping his hands.

"At this rate, we're gonna have a 'I love Yuuta' fan club soon." Niou muttered. Back in room three, a certain person sneezed.

Barely stopping himself from saying how kawaii Yuuta looked, Fuji explained, "See? It's almost nee-san's birthday. Remember?"

Still pouting, Yuuta said, "Shit! I almost forgot!"

"Why do I have a feeling that's not the reason why you called Yuuta out that day?" Tezuka asked, giving Fuji a suspicious look. Fuji merely smiled innocently back at him.

"Whatever do you mean, Tezuka?" Fuji asked, looking like an angel sent from heaven.

Looking at his brother, opening his eyes to reveal the bright blue orbs- probably to warn Yuuta about his language- Fuji continued, "That's what I thought. So I thought we'd go looking for a present together. Sis will be happy, if we give a present from both of us."

"Now I know he's up to something." Ryoma muttered. When Fuji opened his eyes like that, nothing good could come out of it.

"What are you talking about, Koshimae? I think Fuji has very pretty eyes." Kintarou commented, clueless.

Now that he understood the situation, Yuuta gave his aniki an understanding smile. "What? This is what this was all about? Seriously, you should've just said so from the beginning." It was obvious that Yuuta agreed to go shopping with his brother.

"Poor Yuuta. He didn't even suspect what Fuji had in store for him that day." Niou shook his head. Akaya looked at his senpai curiously.

"Niou-senpai, you sound as if you know what happened. Were you there that day?" Akaya asked.

"Saa…who knows?" Niou grinned, sharing a secret look with Yagyuu.

Music now began to play and the title of this Pairpuri was "Fuji Brothers After School."

"And again, no Rikkaidai in this one neither." Akaya sighed, pouting. Marui ruffled his hair, trying to cheer him up.

"Don't worry Akaya, I'm sure Rikkaidai will show up sooner or later." Yagyuu assured him.

"At least the title of this one is normal- unlike the first pairpuri." Sanada commented. Yukimura giggled, remembering the title. Hearing the giggle, Sanada gave a small smile and kissed the bluenette's temple gently.

"Yuck! Get a room you two!" Niou said, pretending to cover his eyes.

Sanada rolled his eyes while Yukimura replied, "I seem to recall an event in the locker room a few days ago which involved you and Yagyuu having s-"

"Let's continuing watch, shall we?" Shiraishi quickly interrupted, covering Kintarou's ears from hearing anymore.

Yuuta and Fuji now walked side-by-side to go searching for a present for their older sister. They talked to each other as Yuuta had his hands in his pockets and Fuji smiled next to him. Four blurred figures wearing a familiar uniform could be seen a few feet away from the brothers.

The figures became more clear and it was seen that they were, Kisarazu Atsushi, Yanagisawa Shinya, Mizuki Hajime and Akasawa Yoshirou.

"Hey! Aren't those guys from St. Rudolph?" Eiji questioned, pointing at the screen.

"Yeah, they're Yuuta's teammates right?" Momo answered, looking at the members.

"By the way, I'm curious. How did your brother end up at St. Rudolph, Fuji?" Yukimura asked politely.

"While he was practicing at a particular private tennis club, he met Mizuki- St. Rudolph's manager. He scouted out my brother and managed to get Yuuta to transfer to his school." Fuji darkened a little at the mention of Mizuki.

Raising one hand above his eyes, blocking out any light that could obstruct his view, Yanagisawa exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Aren't those Yuuta and his big brother over there, dane?"

"Ooh! Shiraishi- look! It's a duck!" Kintarou shouted, pointing frantically at the screen.

"Kintarou, that's not a polite thing to say." Gin scolded the redhead.

"Well, we have a snake on our team." Momo pointed out. Kaidoh hissed at him.

"We have a monkey on ours." Zaizen said, pointing at Kintarou.

"We have a bear!" Jirou chirped, looking at Kabaji.

"And we have a seaweed monster on ours." Niou added, grinning and the outraged look on Akaya's face.

"I am not a seaweed monster!" Akaya yelled, thoroughly insulted as he worked to flatten his uncontrollable hair.

"Ah! You're right." Akasawa agreed as he looked in the direction his teammates were looking at. "What are they doing?" He wondered out loud.

"Isn't that their captain?" Kawamura asked. Fuji nodded.

"I thought Mizuki was their captain." Ryoma was surprised as he looked at the screen.

"No, Mizuki-san is like Inui- he's their manager." Tezuka told him gently.

"Looks like they're looking for something." Atsushi pointed out.

"Where have I seen him before?" Hiyoshi wondered, putting a finger to his chin.

"He has an identical twin on Rokkaku's tennis team. His twin goes by the name of Kisarazu Ryou." Yanagi informed him.

"In fact, rumor has it that both Kisarazu twins were on that team together until Mizuki scouted one of them. Apparently Mizuki scouted out the wrong twin so he forced Atsushi to cut his hair and wear a red ribbon so he could tell them apart." Inui added.

"What an idiot." Sanada snorted.

"Ooh- I wish I had a twin!" Akaya said. His team sweat dropped at that; one Akaya was more than enough.

"Looking for something, dane?" Yanagisawa repeated, confused. "I wonder what they're looking for…"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know." Akasawa answered; the entire St. Rudolph team was still staring at the two brothers.

Twirling a strand of hair with his finger, Mizuki commented, "So suspicious…"

"What's so suspicious about Yuuta and Fuji hanging out with each other? They are brothers after all." Jackal asked, confused.

All the team members turned their attention to their manager. "Huh?" Yanagisawa asked, looking at Mizuki in confusion.

"What is?" Akasawa asked, putting his hands in his pockets and also looking confused.

Still twirling his hair, Mizuki answered, "I'm talking about those two. They're friendly walking together like that."

"Isn't that because they're brothers?" Akasawa suggested, pointing out the obvious.

"Fsshhhuuu…exactly." Kaidoh nodded.

"It's not really a miracle to see em' together." Atsushi added.

Suddenly a wave a brilliance hit Mizuki. "You are too naïve!" While his teammates continued to look at him in confusion, Mizuki just continued, "Even if they're brothers, they're rivals! And that's Fuji Syuusuke whom we lost to against Seigaku!"

"So, he still has that grudge, huh?" Ryoma commented, pulling on his cap. "Mada mada dane."

Kinda looking at his manager and friend with slight pity in his eyes, Akasawa muttered, "Mizuki, you still have a grudge?"

"Wow, Echizen. You and Akasawa think alike." Momo told him.

Quickly, Atsushi cut in, "Give it a rest, it'll be bad if Mizuki hears you." He warned his captain quietly.

Oblivious to his teammates talking about him, Mizuki continued twirling his while staring at the direction the Fuji brothers were going. With a sly smile on his face, he said, "Understood. Fuji-kun, you're planning on getting Yuuta back to Seigaku! There's no mistaking that persuasion of carrying it out." His words caught his teammates attention and again they looked at him in confusion.

"Was that really your plan, Fujiko?" Eiji asked the tensai. Fuji rolled his eyes.

"Of course not. I just wanted to spend some quality time with Yuuta and we really did need to buy sis a birthday gift. It's a good thing that idiot didn't ruin our day." Fuji opened his eyes and glared at the screen.

"Wow, you must really hate Mizuki, huh?" Kenya asked.

"It's because he still hasn't forgiven Mizuki for what he did to Yuuta." Eiji answered when Fuji said nothing.

"What did he do?" Shiraishi asked.

"Yuuta had a match with Echizen that day. During the match, it was discovered that Mizuki taught Yuuta about the Twist Spin Shot." Inui informed them. The players who knew about that shot, gasped.

"What's the Twist Spin Shot?" Gakuto asked, confused.

"It's a very powerful shot has incredible bounce, with an enormous amount of violent spin which propels the ball upwards upon bouncing. But this shot is very dangerous because the posture to prepare this shot puts a heavy strain on undeveloped shoulders." Inui told him.

Ootori gasped. "That means that Yuuta's shoulder would have been completely destroyed if he used that shot often."

"Exactly. Why did Yuuta use that shot if he knew what would have happened to his shoulder?" Sanada asked. "He could have been seriously injured and would have resulted in never playing tennis again.

"The thing is, my brother never knew about the dangers of that shot. Mizuki never told him about the consequences." Fuji glared furiously, a dark aura surrounding him. "Thankfully, he knows now and has never used it again."

"But what Mizuki did…that's just horrible." Shiraishi shook his head.

"It's horrible, but we all know that Mizuki didn't want to hurt Yuuta. He just wanted to win." Zaizen reminded them.

"Winning or not, I won't forgive anyone who dares hurt my Yuuta." Fuji snarled. Everyone back away from him as Oishi and Eiji tried to calm him down. Note: Never mess with the tensai's younger brother. EVER.

"That's so?" Akasawa asked, not really knowing if what Mizuki said was true or not. Realistically speaking, when it comes to the older Fuji, anything could happen.

"Doesn't look like that though, dane." Yanagisawa told Mizuki. To him, it didn't look like the older Fuji was plotting something.

Making up his mind, Mizuki smiled wider and said excitedly, "Okay everyone! We're following them. It's a scout out." With that, he began to walk in the direction Fuji and Yuuta were going.

"That idiot." Fuji growled. He was calmer now, but he still glared at the screen.

"Oishi, Fujiko's very scary." Eiji whispered to his double's partner. Oishi nodded back, checking to make sure Fuji was in check.

Akasawa shook his head but followed Mizuki nevertheless. "My god, Mizuki's delusions have started again." He sighed tiredly. The other two looked at Mizuki and also decided to join their captain on his 'scout out'.

The screen was now focused on the Fuji brothers again. They looked to be in a department store. Yuuta was looking at some shelves which held miscellaneous things while Fuji had one hand under his chin, examining the contents on the shelves as well.

"Ooh- I want to go there!" Jirou said. "Can we go, please Kei?" He asked his boyfriend, tugging on Atobe's silk sleeve.

"Of course, Jirou." Atobe smiled down at the narcoleptic. Jirou cheered and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Whipped." Ryoma coughed out. Atobe glared at the capped teen.

"You're one to talk, brat." Atobe spat.

"So interesting! Magic and disguise stuff." Fuji said, amazed at what the shelves held. Soon they were at a different part of the store which held costumes and outfits for them to choose from. "Some things that exist, huh?"

Actually having fun looking at the different things in the shop, Yuuta smiled at his brother. "Sis does fortune-telling right? Thought she might like things like this."

"You both look very happy together." Yanagi commented. "I'm guessing you two have made up?"

"Yes. We're on much better terms now. I'm very happy at the progress of our relationship." Fuji smiled at the screen, his dark aura all but gone now. Everyone sighed- they now knew that when dealing with an angry Fuji, just mention his brother and that'll calm him down.

Fuji nodded, smiling back at his brother. He was happy that his brother was enjoying himself. "I see. That's a good idea. Ah- this might be good." Suddenly spotting something, Fuji turned to his brother and asked, "Yuuta, could you try them out in big sis's place?"

Everyone just stared at the screen. They were all silent at the image that was before them. None really knew what to say as they looked at what Yuuta was wearing.

Finally, Shishido broke the silence by merely repeating what he said earlier, "And you wonder why he's gets irritated by you often."

Loud music played and Yuuta was suddenly shown wearing a bright pink tuxedo. The background around him had pale red and yellow stripes with lights sparkling. He held up one hand as if he was showcasing something. He wore a bright smile and looked very inviting.

Everyone finally laughed, looking at the ridiculous outfit Fuji made his brother wear. They all felt sorry for Yuuta.

"My god, Fuji! What the hell did you do to him?" Oshitari chuckled, shaking his head.

"Doesn't he look so great!" Fuji replied back, smiling happily at the image of his brother in a pink suit.

"Yeah, pink really suits him." Momo snorted.

"I bet you weren't even thinking of getting this for your sister- you just wanted to see Yuuta in it." Shishido accused.

"I'm impressed by Yuuta though- he's taking this in stride." Yukimura commented, impressed.

"I bet it's because he's used to it. I bet you that Fuji dressed him up before." Zaizen told him.

"Remind me never to go shopping with Fuji-senpai. Ever." Ryoma muttered, giving Fuji a wary look as the tensai just smiled at him.

Fuji was looking appreciably at his little brother. "It's pretty good!"

Still going along with the act, Yuuta cheerfully said, "Welcome! Welcome! They're building a fence to the neighbor's house you know! Is that so?" Apparently Yuuta was dressed as a comedian.

"See? Yuuta has definitely done this before." Zaizen nodded.

Akaya stopped laughing and frowned as he looked at the background, behind Yuuta. 'Is that Niou-senpai and Yagyuu-senpai?' He thought. He shook his head. 'Impossible.'

Finally unable to take it anymore, the smile on Yuuta's face was wiped off and he yelled angrily at his brother with his fists clenched and his butt out. "Are you planning on making sis a comedian or something?" Nearby, the four St. Rudolph members could be seen spying a few feet away from them, hiding behind some shelves.

"And he finally snapped!" Niou said aloud.

"I'm still impressed that he played along for that long." Yanagi exclaimed. "He must really care for his brother a lot if he can tolerate this much for him." At that, Fuji smiled brightly.

Akaya continued frowning at the screen. 'I'm sure that's them…I think.'

Still smiling at his brother, Fuji calmly said, "That's a no?" Pouting a bit, he continued, "Thought it was pretty interesting, though."

Yuuta angrily spat, "Of course it's a no!"

"No duh." Marui snorted. Who would want to wear that outfit, willingly?

Fuji nodded, still calm. "I see…" Looking at something else, he suggested, "Then what about this?"

'You're gonna dressed him up some more?" Sanada asked, looking at Fuji with wide eyes. He felt deep pity for the younger Fuji.

Behind the shelves, St. Rudolph quietly observed the two brothers. Wearing a pout and looking suspicious at the scene, Mizuki whispered at his teammates, "I see now. He plans on giving a present to lure Yuuta. Fuji Syuusuke, I can't take you lightly."

"Mizuki looks so cute here!" Koharu squealed. He ignored the glare that Fuji sent him.

Also observing the scene before them, Atsushi whispered, "Aren't they just playing around?"

Akasawa agreed, "I see it that way too."

Puckering his lips, Yanagisawa merely replied, "Dane."

A big bang was heard and again, Yuuta was surrounded by a background of pale red and yellow stripes with lights sparkling. This time, Yuuta wore a pale blue men's kimono. He posed with his hand on his hip and wore a tense wide smile on his face. A dog was shown on his left side.

"Seriously Fuji? Saigo Takamori?" Atobe asked, raising an eyebrow at the tensai.

"I thought it would suit him." Fuji shrugged.

"Weren't you supposed to pick a gift out for your sister?" Oishi reminded him.

"Akaya, what's wrong?" Jackal asked. They turned to see Akaya squinting suspiciously at the screen.

"It might just be my imagination…but isn't that Niou-senpai and Yagyuu-senpai over there." He pointed at a part of the screen. "And is that Yagyuu-senpai wearing a samurai outfit while holding a sword in his hands?"

"What are you talking about, Bakaya? Did those chips that you ate earlier gone bad and now you're suffering from mental insanity?" Niou said, putting Akaya in a headlock. Niou discreetly shared another secret look with his boyfriend.

Observing his brother, Fuji gasped in pleasure, "That's pretty good too." He complimented, looking at Yuuta approvingly.

Still in the act, Yuuta replied, "CHEST!" Suddenly snapping out of it, he look in outrage at his brother. "But Saigo Takamori? What exactly are you planning for sis?"

"I'm surprised that he didn't figure out that these outfits are for him and have nothing to do with his sister." Hiyoshi exclaimed.

"Who is Saigo Takamori, by the way?" Ryoma asked.

"He was one of the most influential samurai's in Japanese history. He was also dubbed as, 'The Last True Samurai'." Tezuka informed him. Ryoma nodded in thanks and kissed Tezuka on the cheek.

Merely smiling innocently at his brother, Fuji asked, "Again a no?" Like last time, he didn't answer Yuuta's question. "I thought it was fairly manly."

Yuuta opened his mouth and shouted, "Of course it's a NO! And dressing sis 'manly'? There's no point!"

"I see…" Fuji merely said. He quickly added, "Then, try this one out next!"

"My god, Fujiko. Do you like torturing your brother, nya?" Eiji asked.

"Of course not- this is my way of showing how much I love Yuuta." Fuji pouted. Everyone in the room sweat dropped at that.

"I feel sorry for Yuuta- being cursed with a brother who is a sadistic genius with a huge brother complex." Ryoma muttered.

"What was that, Echizen?" Fuji asked, looking at his kohai with a dark and dangerous aura..

"Nothing." Ryoma replied quickly, scooting away from the tensai and closer into his boyfriend's arms.

A/N: Whooo…Another beast of a chapter! And it took me less than a week this time- it's a summer miracle! I hope you enjoyed it- I try to make sure every member from the 4 teams gets at least one chance to say something. Hope I didn't miss anyone. Also, it's easy to write the pairpuri part, but difficult to write their reactions. Heh.

Please leave a review and I'll give you a sneak peek of the next chapter!
