Why this must be read:
I know, I know, the pairing is probably making you go WTF. However, such is my confidence for these two authors that I know if you just give this fic a try, by the end of it you will believe in this pairing, too. When this fic was still a WIP, seeing an update made me squee, and every chapter made me laugh aloud.
Two things that I have to mention as outstanding in this fic are the cameo appearances (the authors truly have a gift for fleshing out minor characters) and the setting which feels so authentic (and not like Japan as told by a random fangirl).
"What's this, Isumi-san? You're red. Whoa." Waya's eyes nearly crossed looking at the e-mail. "Is this even Japanese?"
Isumi felt the color draining out of his face as Waya squinted at the screen. Unlike Shindou, he wasn't sure how well Waya knew his kanji, since Waya's grades in school had been decent. If he tried to get the phone back, though, Waya would most definitely know something was wrong. "It's Chinese," he said. Perhaps full disclosure would convince Waya there was nothing of interest in that e-mail.
"Gimme!" Shindou came up behind Waya and grabbed the phone in turn to look curiously at the screen. He tried turning it over, as though that would make the cryptic message make more sense. "Is that the kanji for... what? What's this word, Isumi-san?" He thrust the phone back at Isumi as though he really expected an answer. If Isumi was very lucky, maybe they would just let it go as gibberish. "Waya, you're crazy; he's not red, he's totally white."
"Shindou, you idiot," Waya told him. "You should learn to read. It's something about the New Stars Tournament. I think that word is... hippo?"
"Oh, because that obviously makes SO MUCH SENSE."
Isumi finally recovered his phone at that point and stuffed it back into his bag where it could do no more damage. "It's nothing," he insisted, though his voice wasn't terribly convincing.
"'The hippo isn't good for anything,'" Waya mused. "What hippo?"
