Disclaimers:

The characters of Slam Dunk don't belong to me… (Yeah right, fanfic readers are already getting tired of this ^ ^;).

This story recognizes the pairing between Rukawa Kaede and an original character: Aia Yuuiji. This is strictly a NON-YAOI fic, ok! I hope you like this!

Enjoy! And one word: Idiot!

Shohoku High

Part I – Ice

Chapter 1 – I Like It Soft

I left my bike near the gates of Shohoku High. It was an ordinary day. Nothing was new except for the winds that blew my black hair in great perfection. I stood at the building entrance for a while as I watched the students hurriedly walking to their respective rooms. I leaned my back on the wall and watched the students, slowly moving and decreasing in number, as the hand of the clock finished a rotation or two. I stared at them as if I was new, as if I was a beginner, but I knew, I was not.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!" the blue alarm clock placed on his desk made this sound to fulfill its job of waking up people from their precious sleep.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" it went again, for there was no hand that reached and turned it off.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" again it went for the third time.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" it went for the 4th time.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" it went for the 5th time.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" it went for the 6th time.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" it went for the 7th time.

"Krii…….. swish….. plak!…..crack….toinnnk…." it didn't continue for the 8th time.

He woke up, still drooling with saliva, from his precious sleep. It was him Rukawa Kaede, Shohoku basketball team's ace. His eyes were still half-opened and his hair was not that good. He looked at the alarm clock that he dumped a while ago and thought that it was his 128th alarm clock that was ruined just for his high school days in Shohoku.

Damn! he thought. If it were not only for basketball, he wouldn't bother to wake up early or even go to school. He went down into his bed striking the back of his neck with his left hand. He went straight, literally, into the bathroom and he didn't even notice that the door was closed so he bumped into it and… BLAG!!! He was thrown backwards by the closed door which made him scratch his neck more and hold his forehead because of pain.

When he had recovered from the little accident, he stood and opened the door of the bathroom. He took a bath, which arouse his senses and made him ¼ asleep and ¾ awake. The droplets of water sprinkled down his athletic body and washed away the silence that occupied the room. After the refreshing bath, he tied the towel into his waist and went out into the bathroom revealing his athletic and muscular body. He dressed up in school uniform, which suited his complexion very well and absent-mindedly went down the stairs without even bothering to fix his hair.

"Kaede… Look's like you're early today, huh?" said an old woman in a mellow voice.

"I'm 30 minutes late." he coldly stated as a reply.

"But you're early compared to the other days! Here, have some bread." the woman said as she smiled mildly on Rukawa.

"No, Auntie. I need to go… I… I… Z z Z z Z z Z z Z z Z…" he replied without even finishing the whole statement. He walked down the door towards the door but never forgot to open it. He went near the gates where his bike was mounted and rode on it with eyes closed as he was usually doing.

"Wait!!! Kaede! Kaede! Come back!!! You look like a child raped by 1000 men! Come back and fix yourself!" his caretaker said. But he was too far and too sleepy to hear the woman's ramblings. He is actually getting tired of it everyday. The old woman looked at him as he strode forward farther and farther from the house.

The old woman breathed deeply and said to herself, "You'll learn when you fall in love…" She took one last glance at the guy she is taking are of and gently entered the house which just needs a little renovation in order to look like a real mansion.

Back to Rukawa, he was still riding gently on his bike. He was still sleeping with bubbles forming from his mouth and unbelievably going to school in that condition.

Weird things happen when he was going to school riding his bike. First, he bumped into a middle-sized stone scattered freely on the road. Second, he bumped into a lamppost. Third, he bumped into a car somewhere on the sidewalk. But the worst of all is the garbage can. He accidentally bumped into it and spilled almost all its contents. He was drawn from his bike so he and his uniform were now a mess! He rode again on his bike not even caring about the people's reaction on how dirty his uniform was and how filthy was the odor coming from him. He didn't care for them.

Why should he ever care for them… he thought. He continued biking but as he turned left…

BLAG!!! CRASHHH!!! He again bumped into something. The next thing he new was that he was lying on the ground. But wait, is it really the ground? But it felt soft unlike the ground that he used to fall in. and he felt something weird! There was something that he was holding in his hands. They were soft. It feels like he was holding cotton. Then, he felt like somebody is pushing him. Somebody stood up and he felt the hardness of the ground that he used to feel.

"Pervert!!!!!! You foolish idiot!!! How dare you touch my… my… Ahhh! Pervert! Pervert!" he heard someone exclaimed.

He tried to stand up and said to himself, Who was this girl referring to as pervert? I'm not doin' anything to her anyway… What a weirdo… idiot…

He went again into his bike and tried to go away but he thought he heard something going like this:

"Come back here!!! Pervert!……… You…ruined…uniform….you…I'll…kick… ass…. ruined….baka!….come back!….Day…. ruined…. uniform….smell ….bad…. Maniac! Pervert! Pervert! PERVERT!!!!!" He was curious with the girl's words. "Who was she referring to as pervert? Was it I? This girl is psychotic…Her head needs renovation…"he thought. He rode his bike peacefully until he reached his final destination… Shohoku High.
