Tennis Cantabile

"NodaMe... DON'T call Ore-sama Shinichi. We are by no means, intimate. And congratulations on making your dream come true."

Nodame Pouts.

"Aww, demo Nodame is not teaching in the same school...what school are you from Atobe-kun?"

"Hyoutei daigaku fuzochuu" (yeah Uni in Japanese is that ;3)

"EEH?! Nodame is also teaching there! B-but why don't I see Shinichi ;3;"

"DON'T call me by my first name;;;" he said again, fighting the urge to hit her. "And I teach music class... it would of course, be unlikely that we see each other."

He smirked.

"I'm surprised you managed to get a job teaching, perverted garbage-woman."

"Of course, Sempai! Nodame worked very hard just to get in that school! Demo, It's FATE that we are still going on THE SAME school ~haun"

"I'll be leaving." Atobe said as he raised his hand

"Fate? \More like misfortune. Oi," he said noticing Atobe. "Don't scare my student away you hentai."

"AAA! Atobe-ku~n" *grabs arm*

"N-nanda?! HANASE!"

"heehee~n! Stay here for dinner ne~ Chiaki-sempai is a really good cook...demo Nodame has to do some stuff tonight so she can't be with Shinichi ;3;" Nodame then released his arm and turned to the direction of her apartment.

"Tch. Don't invite people to have dinner at my house!" Chiaki screamed, throwing a nearby rock at her head.
"Hmp. Never mind. You are welcome to join me if you wish Atobe... consider it a thanks for the tour."

Atobe smirks.

"Ore-sama shall verify if your cooking skills are really that great."

Chiaki returns his smirk. "Then it is Ore-sama's honor to have one of his students join Ore-sama for dinner," he says as he unlocks the door.

He heads to the kitchen and motions for Atobe to take a seat as he prepares the meal.

Sometime later...

Chiaki reappears and places two plates of roast beef with Yorkshire pudding on the table, one in front of Atobe and the other in front of an empty seat across the table (lawl. DATE~)

"I hope this is up to your standards, Atobe-sama," he says, sarcasm dripping delicately off his words as he bows low.

(...before you say anything, the table's already set.)[code]

Atobe smirks at Chiaki's comment.

"Ore-sama is delighted to eat your cooking sensei"

Chiaki then lays the plate before him <- yes he sat first. He stared at his plate for a second.

"Hn. It's been a while since Ore-sama had a meal like this... Ore-sama usually eats this with his family...that is if they're ever around"

He then grabbed the fork and knife and started to cut the roasted beef into pieces.

Chiaki utters a quick "ittadakimasu!" before he begins his meal.

He takes a bite, chews and swallows... then glances at his student.

"What was that about your family Atobe?"

Atobe bit into one of the bits that he has cut; the roast beef tastes FINE, not as good as his chef but it was fine for a man's cooking. He then swallowed the piece of flesh that was in his mouth.

"There's nothing you need to know." He said slightly looking upward.

He "Hms" and bites into his food thoughtfully.

He shakes his head and instead asks the boy, "That aside Atobe...what do you think of Ore-sama's cooking?"

"Ah, I find it...fine. Not so bad not so good, sensei."

Atobe suddenly remembers about a person named Nodame.

FLASHBACK


"Ugh! Not another NodaMe D:" Chiaki said upon seeing...


"...Sensei, who is NodaMe?"

Chiaki ignores the food comment-for now- and twitches.

"Noda Megumi, we used to go to school together. Quite a good pianist, if I do say so myself... messy, a hentai and immature, but that's what makes her... NodaMe."

The corners of his lips twitch. "She and Ayanami are more alike than what I consider normal though..."

He then stops reminiscing about his days as a student and gazes at Atobe again. "She was that hentai that attacked me earlier. I suggest you stay away from her and her Hentai's Forest of Doom."

Atobe tried to resist a chuckle about Chiaki's comment on NodaMe but alas, he failed. He let out a hearty laugh a chuckle.

"Ah, A hentai forest of doom you say? You make it sound like it actually exists."

"It does," Chiaki replied gravely. "You obviously haven't seen her room yet. You don't even know where the floor is;;;;"

He sighs.

"I shudder to think about what her classroom looks like. Honestly, that hentai... a teacher. What an excellent way to educate children," he says, smiling, sarcasm at full blast.

"She'd corrupt those poor innocent children before they even get a glimpse of what could have been a bright future..."

Atobe could not hold his laugh any longer. Not that he was doubting what was his teacher was saying, but rather his enthusiasm in telling him what NodamMe does to terrorize him.

"I see."

"I see? I warn of the horrors in store if you ever cross paths with that hentai, and that's all you have to say?!"

"Ore-sama is already used to... being with a Hentai. I have to take care of her since I pr--..." .=o=

while the two were talking about something about hentai and children, the door bell rang...

"Pizza delivery for a Noda Megumi..was it?"

Chiaki stands up and twitches. "NODAME!!!!!" he yells, even though said hentai wasn't present.

He throws open the door and looks at the delivery guy and takes the pizza, grudgingly paying for it. Then he slams the door in the guy's face.

He sets the box on the table in the living room and walks back to the dinning room sighing in irritation.

"That hentai.. Ore-sama will get her to pay for that later.... so, you were saying Atobe?"

There was no use trying to keep it a secret. Sooner or later he knew that he had to tell it to someone.

Keigo stood up from the table, placed a hand on his hip and sighed.

"Sensei, I'm only going to tell this to you. Would you listen to me?"

Chiaki looks at his student with an eyebrow raised.

"Of course Atobe. You can tell me anything."

"The reason why Mikage left the practice earlier isn't because she had work or anything. She left the practice because at that time her brother is already at the gate waiting for her.

...That is if he was still alive.

He died in an accident last year. Ayanami Takeshi, her brother is one of my dear friends and rivals. The reason I'm with her because he entrusted her to me; So weather I like it or not I have to be stuck with that hentai"
