Ookami- Random stories about your favorite (and not so much) characters! Yes I'm currently going through a slight obsession with these guys…

ECHIZEN RYOUMA AND FUJI SYUUSUKE ARE SO FRIKIN' HOT! Ahem…(quietly) and Dan-chan is really cute too…(sheepish)

Disclaimer- I don't own Prince of Tennis (if I did we'd see scenes of the teams at an onsen many times)

Extra Note- I switch back and forth between using their first and last names so please bare with me…besides, you don't truly need to know who they are, this is completely random…

-Chapter 1-

It was a normal day, the kind with the sun shinning and the birds chirping cheerfully. The kind of day that would make people fall asleep in the shade of a tall tree…

Exactly like how a certain Echizen Ryouma was doing.

An ominous shadow fell upon our sleeping protagonist and nothing prepared him for what came next…

"DON!"

"WHAAAAA!"

SPLASH!

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Damn I got you good!"

Momoshiro Takeshi was armed and ready with a bucket of water balloons.

Ryouma coughed as he tried to get the water off him (quite hard to do since it soaked into his clothes and his precious hat.)

"…What was that for?"

Ryouma was pissed (although he didn't really show it) and slowly picked up a nice green balloon from the bucket that Momo had dropped upon his laughing fit.

A slow and evil smile made its way upon the 1st year's face as he chucked the bomb and watched it expel its contents on his sempai's face.

"GHAA!" Coughing fit with small bits of suffocation.

"Y-YOU!"

Momo's eyes narrowed. Oh yeah, this means war…

0o0o0o0o0

"…"

"What the heck is this?"

"New data…"

"Wow! That looks fun! Ochibi! Let me play too!"

"Just what are you doing!"

A completely soaked Ryouma and Momoshiro were panting on the tennis court with puddles of water and colorful pieces of rubber lying around them. The two were staring hard into each other's eyes and clutching a water balloon in their hands.

"Mada mada dane…" Ryouma said while gasping.

"Heh, I haven't lost yet!"

"I wanna play too!"

Eiji ran onto the war field happily and just happened to get in the way of the balloons that the other two had thrown at that moment.

"EH!"

SPLOOSH!

"OH MY GOD EIJI!"

Oishi ran onto the field after his friend and grabbed the poor boy that was gagging at the wetness and laughing at the same time.

"This is fun! But that wasn't fair Ochibi, Momo! I'm unarmed!"

"Eiji let's go and get you some dry clothes…"

"No! I wanna play!"

"This looks interesting…" Fuji Syuusuke was smiling with his eyes closed as he watched his teammates.

"Um…I don't think we should be doing such a thing on the court…" Kuwamura Takashi timidly said.

"…But it's so hot out…I know, lets have a tournament!" Fuji said as he smiled evilly. The other players of the Seigaku team backed up away from the plotting Fuji.

"A what!" All the others said in shock.

Fuji wasn't listening and was already off to write down the teams. Inui grinned and adjusted his glasses.

"The loser should drink my new 'Inui's special Vegetable Smoothie…"

Everyone turned to pastel colors with horror at what was soon to be unleashed. One thought went through all their heads.

'Must not lose…'

0o0o0o0

Team 1, Momoshiro, Eiji, Oishi and Takashi

Team 2, Ryouma, Fuji, Inui and Kaidoh

Kuwamura (Takashi) looked around warily. "What if Captain Tezuka comes?"

Fuji just smiled reassuringly at the taller boy. "Don't worry, this'll be fun…"

Ryouma smirked at Momo as he readied an orange balloon.

Fuji nudged the younger boy a little and Ryouma looked back at his sempai in confusion.

"Wanna team up for a doubles?"

Eiji heard them and laughed. "I seem to remember what happened the last time Ochibi went into a doubles match…"

Momo and Ryouma both looked sheepish. Momo coughed and tried to get his composure back. "I seem to remember that we won…"

"You two still totally sucked though…"

A balloon to the face rewarded Eiji's opinion.

"…Okay, you asked for it!"

And before they even realized it, the teams were broken as they had an all out water war. Inui was collecting data and when one of Fuji's well-aimed shots hit him across the head, the glasses wearing member of Seigaku's Tennis club slowly closed his notebook before turning to glare menacingly at the others.

"Who threw that?"

As one they all pointed at Fuji as he pointed at Kaidoh. An eyebrow twitched as Fuji frowned and opened his normally closed eyes.

"Traitors…"

The next thing they knew, Inui was going into his berserker Non-using-Data mode.

SPLASH!

"AHHH!"

SPLAT!

"HOLY SHI-!"

KLOOSH!

"OMG!"

THUD!

"Oishi's down!"

"No! Oishi! Speak to me!" Eiji picked him up and cradled the boy's head.

Oishi was reaching his hand up to brush his best friend's face.

"R-run for I-I-it Eiji…" His hand slid off and fell limp on the ground.

Slowly Eiji lowered Oishi back onto the ground, tears threatened to leak out his eyes as he watched his fallen comrade.

"O…OISHIIIIIIIIII!"

He screamed into the air as the tears broke free and slid down his checks, past the band-aid he always wore.

Abruptly he stopped and turned to glare murderously at the others (especially a still growling Inui.)

The stare was so cold it made Kaidoh look like a cute puppy in comparison. Slowly Eiji picked up a bucket full of the 'Watery Weapons of DEATH' and even Inui (in his state of Data-Less insanity) stepped back.

"AAARRRRRGHHHHHH!"

Kuwamura cried out and ran as the grief stricken Eiji flung his ammo with all the speed of a machine-gun. Fuji barely shielded himself with his arms as the liquid bullets rained down upon the tennis court.

Ryouma had ducked and ran while Momo was getting pummeled and Kaidoh had gotten the bright idea to pull out his tennis racket.

"Psshhhhh!" Kaidoh hissed like his nickname 'The Viper' as he struck at the oncoming onslaught of Eiji's anger and grief.

Seeing this, the others soon followed his lead and soon were even hitting some of the attacks back on the sender. Or at least they tried but mostly the balloons burst upon contact with the racket and sprayed the holder and everyone near them at a 2 feet radius with cold water.

"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!"

Eiji was still screaming. Takashi was now in his 'Burning' mode from holding onto a tennis racket and Ryouma was wondering whether to go into his Self-Actualization.

"KYA HAA! I'M BURNING!"

"FSSssshhhhhh…"

"DON!"

Takashi, Kaidoh and Momo were all using their moves against the berserk Eiji.

"Zannen munen mata raishuu!" Eiji cried out between his hysterical shrieks.

Another balloon, lobbed at Ryouma's head had the boy bringing his racket up and hitting a counter, it didn't work so well and went off target from Eiji (where Ryouma was aiming) to hitting Kaidoh.

This causing Kaidoh to lose his balance while he was in the middle of attempting a 'Boomerang Snake' and falling over to hit Fuji and making Fuji's racket knock over Inui's bag…

And this…cause the new Inui Juice to fly out and upturn high in the air…the players could only watch in shock as the contents (a gloopy purple-ish liquid) fell…

"What is going on here?"

"Tezuka-san!"

SPLAT!

"…"

There was silence for a couple of seconds as their team leader stood there with purple goop oozing down his face and hair.

Then without warning, the 3rd year collapsed in a faint.

"OMG!"

"OMFG!"

"BBQ!"

Overlooking that last comment, the team rushed to get their leader to the school nurse…or maybe the nearest hospital (preferably the latter.)

Who knows what Inui's juice could do…and the fact that the collar of Tezuka's shirt seemed to be melting was not a good sign.

In conclusion, they managed to get Tezuka to the medics on time (although none would explain as to how the teen got into his condition) and were told that he would make a full recovery within a day.

Thus they all blamed Momo for starting this incident they later referred to as, 'The Balloon Battle' and chose to never mention this to anyone outside those directly involved in it.

Ookami- …This…was weird…next chapter would be them at an Onsen (Hot Springs)
