A/N: GAIZ, be nice. I haven't written in, well, forever. My writing is probably only mediocre compared to a lot of people. So concrits are welcome, comments are definitely welcome. The last one may or may not seem to fit, but that's for you to decide ;p Also, please don't mind my comments in the story. I couldn't help myself. If I decide to write another one, I promise I won't do it again (: AND lastly, this was written for the
hsj-a-thon. Anywho, read on!

"OKAY! So we all know that I'm obviously the captain." Yamada proclaimed. But everyone else was too busy deciding on the other captain.
"B-But I wanna be a captain!">
"Oh Chinen, stop whining, you're too small, not too mention a little bit whiny and wimpy and--" Ryutaro stopped and faltered under Chinen's uncharacteristic death glare.
"I think Keito should be captain!" Said Yuto excitedly, grabbing the older member's arm.
"Wha-?"
"NO! He doesn't even know what's going on." Sure enough, Keito went back to gazing into nothing and Inoo gave Yuto his infamous "I-told-you-so" look.
"Okay, O Smart One, who do you think should be captain?" At the exact moment, Hikaru burst into the locker room.
"HELLO WORLD. THE UL-TO-RA AWESOME ONE IS HERE." Which seemed to grab everyone's attention, even Keito who hollered, "IT'S 'UL-TRA'!" Hikaru shrugged and changed. Inoo looked at Yuto who looked at Keito who looked at Ryutaro and Chinen who were apparently wrestling over something who accidentally knocked Yamada into Yabu who said, "For God's sakes HIKARU is the other captain!" And so it was decided. Next, the picking of the teams began. Yamada has chosen Inoo, Takaki, (for reasions that involved something about "last night") and Yuto. Hikaru got Daiki, Ryutaro, and Chinen (who insisted that he and Ryutaro were "2 become 1" it's a Spice Girls song (:). Ironically, the two best players were waiting to be picked so what, kill me for my bias ><" hey, at LEAST I made yabu one of the "best players" too: Keito and Yabu. Yabu just tapped his foot while Keito had zoned out again. It was Hikaru's turn to pick and he looked at his team. Daiki was cute, but got worn out easily. Ryutaro was a very determined kid, but could never seem to get the ball into the right goal. Chinen, surprisingly, was probably the best in the team, right after me of course he thought smugly. So he decided he needed someone with the whole package. And so...
"I PICK KEITOOOOO!" Keito didn't move and stayed standing, that was, until Hikaru shouted, "YAY! NOW WE ARE THE UL-TO-RA TEAM!"
"IT'S ULTRA!!!!"

JUMP lounged around their hotel suite just use your imagination, I needed a big room ;p and enjoyed the luxuries. Yuto and Inoo were, at first, watching tv, but somehow, they got from watching The Food Network to fighting over the remote control. Daiki was trying to pry Chinen off of Ryutaro's back, who was retching slightly. Yabu was on his phone and Keito was curled up on a couch reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince out loud to himself. two biases in one.
"Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
'Severus...please...'"
Right at that moment, the door burst open.
"HEEEEEEEEEELP!" Although he was very loud, no one seemed to pay Hikaru any attention, except for Yabu and Keito.
"SHUT UP HIKARU!" Yabu shouted, then lowered his voice, covering the mouthpiece on his phone.
"Can't you see I'm on the phone?!" He said furiously. Keito, on the other hand, was so well-immeresed into his book that when Hikaru had burst in, he jumped and fell off the couch screaming (in english) "FOR THE LOVE OF PANCAKES, SNAPE DON'T DO IT!" He struggled to get himself up and staggered over to Yabu, who seemed to have hung up. Then, almost as if on cue, they rounded on Hikaru.
"Why'd you interrupt me?!" Hikaru sighed.
"I need to go shopping! But I'm a dud when it comes to that!" Yabu rolled his eyes and Keito facepalmed.
"I need a shopping buddy!" Hikaru wailed. Yabu, being the mama that he is, intervened.
"You could've just asked, I'm not bad at picking out stu--"
"KEITO!" Hikaru suddenly grinned and grabbed Keito.
"Wha--wait, huh?" Keito, being completely lost, just let the scene unravel. Hikaru smiled at Yabu and patted him on the shoulder.
"You're right Yabu! I need someone to pick out stuff for me, and since Keito has style, I pick him! BAI!" And Hikaru dashed off, dragging a stunned Keito behind him and leaving a slightly disappointed Yabu.

"I need a study buddy."
"But Hikaru, you don't even go to school anymore."
"But I want a study buddy."
"Ugh, you're starting to sound like Whiny Chii."
"RYURYU, WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"
"Go ask Takaki to be your buddy."
"Wait, didn't he go with Yamada?"
"Not again..."
"DAIKI'S JEEEEALOUS!"
"DAI-CHAN! C'MERE, YUTO WILL MAKE YOU FEEL ALLLL BETTER!"
"Hey where's Yabu?" Frustrated that everyone's attention had shifted to the whereabouts of Yabu, Hikaru turned to Keito for help. But Keito was fast asleep on the desk, Harry Potter inches away from his long fingers. Hikaru sighed and quietly for once sat beside the snoring Keito. After a little while, Hikaru fell asleep as well and all the other members had left the two alone. And then...
"ARRRRRRRRRRGH!" Hikaru jumped and fell off his chair, accidentally knocking Keito off his chair as well. Miraculously, Keito, who now lay on the floor, curled up into a little ball and continued his slumber.
"Jeez Hikaru! I only tapped you on the shoulder." Yabu stood over Hikaru, hand clutching his heart.
"Well, you know me! I'm susceptible to small things. Like shoulder taps." Yabu rolled his eyes. and helped Hikaru up.
"Wow, susceptible. Pretty big word from someone who needs, what was it they said? Oh yeah, a study buddy?" He raised an eyebrow and Hikaru gave him a goofy grin.
"Yeah, I DO need one! Keito keeps bugging me about how I pronounce things in English so--"
"You need an English tutor?" Yabu asked, trying to leave out any traces of skepticism in his voice.
"EXACTLY! But not only and ENGLISH tutor, but also other stuff." Yabu looked closely at the younger member.
"Other stuff?" Hikaru fidgeted a bit before answering.
"You know, like relationships and shopping and, well, stuff!"
"God Hikaru, you're such a girl." Yabu laughed and gave him a playful punch in the arm. Hikaru couldn't help but to smile back, but then he sighed.
"Jeez Hikaru, you could always ask me--WHOOOOOA!" He had taken a step back and toppled over Keito's lifeless form which suddenly sprang to life as he was forced to awaken.
"ERUMMPH, Yabu! What are you doing? Hikaru, why are you laughing? Why am I on the floor? Where's my book?" Keito and Yabu struggled to de-tangle themselves (with no help from Hikaru) and they both managed to stand upright. As they did so, Hikaru watched them curiously, as if sizing them up, as they brushed themselves off, muttering apologies. Hmm he's older so he probably has more experience. But then again, HE was in England, which means he was abroad, which means he probably has experience too. But I HAVE known him longer, but HE'S just so cute. They're both cute. Wait, where was I going with this? Oh yeah, well, him and I always struggled at learning English together, and HE'S amazingly fluent, so I think I better choose..
"KEITO!"
"WHY does he always say my name out of random?!" Keito asked, exasperated.
"I'm wondering the same thing." Yabu asked through gritted teeth. Keito didn't catch the sound of menace coming from Yabu since Hikaru dragged him by the arm and wrapped his shoulder around him.
"I FOUND MY TUTOR!"
"Tutor?" Keito asked warily as Hikaru skipped away happily.

At last, Keito was home. He had just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and was eager to find out what had happened after. True, he did shed a tear or two when reading the ending at rehearsal ("Yuto-kun will make you feel much much better! Come to papa!") but that left him curious. Plus, it gave him a little distance between him and his "student". Yabu on the other hand, was determined to corner Hikaru and squeeze in a little Hikaru/Yabu time. Be that as it may, the mood-maker was nowhere to be found. And if he was found somewhere, it was always at home, and he was always "busy".
A few days passed and Friday came upon them. Keito, having read the whole Harry Potter series by then, was bored and felt rather impulsive. So, he picked up the phone and dialed Hikaru's number. "Hello?" It was Hikaru.
"Oh, yeah, are you busy?"
"Nope. Why?" Keito was suddenly thinking his impulsive act. He wasn't expecting this.
"Uh, um, well, uh, I was wondering if, um, you wanted to uh, hang out? Go to the movies?" He waited for exactly 3 seconds.
"OKAY!" And in the background Keito heard, "MOOOOOOOOOOOMMY! I'M GOING OUT WITH KEITO RIGHT NOW! SEE YOU IN A BIT!" Going out?! What's that supposed to mean? Oh yeah, we're going to HANG out. Keito thought uncertainly. So they hung up and Keito went to changed. At the same time, Hikaru's phone rang again.
"Hikaru?"
"Oh! Hi Yabu! What's up?" This was his chance. Hikaru wasn't busy! Well, he didn't sound busy.
"Wanna go to the movies with me?" He waited for exactly 3 seconds.
"SORRY! I'm already going with Keito." Yabu's grip tightened.
"Oh, okay, that's fine. See you." Hikaru shrugged and stepped out the door.

It was another normal day for JUMP. Things were going a little slow aside from their concerts. Rehearsal wasn't until an hour so they all lounged around, either stretching or enjoying whatever relaxation they could enjoy. Yuto and Inoo managed to work in harmony over classifying bug types. The agreement was, as long as the bugs were dead and in a box, with an air-tight seal, he would help him research. Ryutaro and Chinen also seemed to come to a truce, and decided to play Pokemon together. Takaki and Yamada, who were never usually there before rehearsals, decided to show up. But the soon left for the kitchen to "cook something up". Daiki had just walked in and decided to join Ryutaro and Chinen, suggesting random things. Yabu was sitting and talking to the normally zoned-out Keito.
"What was entertainment like in England?"
"Just like any other entertainment I guess."
"But did they have something like Johnny's?"
"Well, they DID have agencies but the agencies aren't as well-known as the people, if you get what I mean."
"Ohh..." Then a sound of an explosion sent everyone ducking under desks and chairs, hiding behind couches, or in Inoo's case, jumping into Yuto's arms.
"HI EVERYONE!" It wasn't an explosion, just the sound of Hikaru. Yuto set Inoo down (who's cheeks turned crimson) and Chinen refused to let go of Daiki until Ryutaro (who's denied jealously overpowered him) pulled him off. Yabu and Keito knew it was coming so they were the only ones still deep into their conversation. Hikaru marched right up to them and opened his mouth to say something, but Yabu noticed and suddenly, his grudge against Keito returned.
"Okay okay, Keito's yours now." He huffed and stalked off. Hikaru looked questioningly at Keito who was back to his confused state. Hikaru shrugged.
"Well, I was going to ask you and Yabu if you guys wanted to come with me to get something to drink. But I guess Yabu doesn't want to, so it's just you and me Keito!" With that, Keito ended up being dragged away again, with Yabu muttering death threats from a small, dark corner.
