Chapter Pairings: InuKai, mention of Atobe/Tezuka/Fuji
After the elucidating events during after-school practice, Inui walked down the halls of the school with his ever-present notebook in hand, mind a-whirl with calculations of how long Atobe had to live before Fuji wreaked unholy vengeance upon him. Pure bedevilment shown in his eyes, though no one was likely to see that – they wouldn’t have to, since the evil light glaring off his glasses was hint enough.
Yes indeed, today was indeed an excellent day for data gathering, just like he had predicted at the beginning of the month.
Then a slight frown marred his brow. Well, there was one thing that hadn’t quite gone right today. Kaidoh hadn’t seemed to like the Valentine’s present he’d given his kouhai. In fact, he’d reacted to it much more aversely than Inui had calculated from his notes on Kaidoh’ previous exposures to his concoctions, and his estimations of the resulting degree of immunity that Kaidoh should have had to them. Inui made a mental note to re-investigate the new ingredients he used to make his “Inui Super Distilled Valentine Candy Drops” in order to find out just what exactly the younger boy had reacted to. He was sure Kaidoh wouldn’t mind helping him determine any possible allergies he might have – it was for his benefit, after all. But then again… maybe it was better he didn’t tell the other beforehand anyways.
Anticipation caused the evil smugness to return to Inui’s expression. But before he could indulge in outright mad cackling, just because it seemed the appropriate thing to do, he was interrupted by a beeping from his cell phone.
It was a text message from Renji telling him that his email inbox was full again, plus a small postscript at the bottom wishing him a productive Valentine’s Day. Inui sighed in exasperation. It had happened the previous year too. Who knew that there were such perils to having a large number of shy female students in his computer class? Truly, the female computer geek was a creature that must be dealt with under extreme caution.
Making another mental note to clean his email inbox again, Inui turned a corner and nearly ran into Kaidoh.
“Inui-senpai…” The younger boy greeted softly, eyes darting around as if looking for an escape route.
“Ah, Kaidoh. Are you feeling better now?” Inui continued to walk, knowing from his calculations that Kaidoh would be polite enough to follow until the conversation was over.
“Hai.”
“I really didn’t expect you to react so strongly to my candy,” Inui offered as a partial apology. It was rather embarrassing to have the nurse called in at the end of lunch to check the other boy over after he had keeled over from Inui’s present. At least Kaidoh wasn’t looking green now.
“Hai.” Kaidoh’s eyes darted around again.
“I’d calculated how much immunity to my mixtures you would have gained from the training regimen you’ve been using, and it should have been well within your tolerances. I must have missed something.” Now he was just rambling, as he was sometimes wont to do. He liked having Kaidoh around – just as a willing guinea pig, mind – and he didn’t want to scare off the boy now.
“Hai.” Was that a glimmer of… something… in the other boy’s eyes now? Hm… Ii data.
By then they’d come to Inui’s locker. Inui casually opened the door and was immediately bombarded with a veritable waterfall of computer chips, calculators, test tubes, chemistry sets, and various electronic devices, all wrapped or decorated in red or pink ribbons. Finally, a huge, full-sized LCD computer monitor careened out of the locker to land right onto his head.
“I-te.”
Kaidoh blinked at the pile of electronics where his senpai had been standing, then stared at the giant tank of nitrogen that was left standing in the locker, before finally his sense of responsibility kicked in and he started to dig through the pile. It took a little while to extricate Inui from the pile of anonymous gifts.
“Well,” the bespectacled boy mused as he surveyed the mess. “I suppose this will keep me stocked for the rest of the year.”
A small smile of amusement tugged at Kaidoh’s lips as he plucked a brightly colored piece of paper out of Inui’s hair. It was a discount ad for contact lenses.

A.N.:The Kaidoh chapter might not go up tomorrow. It'll depend on if I get over the block I'm getting over Momo's chapter. I do have most of Fuji's chapter and the White Day chapter after that done though, so it's only that one chapter that's on my nerves. However, next week looks to be a pretty busy week school-wise, so I'm not sure how my schedule's gonna work out... Here's hoping.
In other news, I read another pretty cool InuKai Valentine's fic today here. I kinda like that idea as well. That since V-Day's for the girls and White Day's for the guys, both side might skip the V-Day part and just exchange gifts on White Day.
