"Tezuka," Inui began, and cleared his throat, unsure that Tezuka was listening. Though it wasn't like he ever really turned to give anyone his full attention when they spoke anyway. He appeared to be doing the attentive-freshman thing, watching the matches being played avidly.

"Tezuka," he began again, more confidently, "I think Fuji is up to something."

"When is he not up to something?" Tezuka replied flatly. Inui was about to protest the importance of his worry, maybe mention the notebook browsing, but Tezuka spoke almost out of turn. "It's usually how much he is going to let himself lead by during the next match. I wouldn't worry about it."

Somewhere in the middle his voice had sounded a little angry. Or bitter. Or both. Inui nodded respectfully to the boy he knew was going to be vice-captain next year, and his captain someday, and looked at his notebook thoughtfully.

Somehow, he thought he might know what Fuji was up to.
