Hey again! It's me! ^_^ I was rummaging around my drawer when I saw these papers and I remembered this fic that I wrote. It's been 2 years since I wrote this so please, be kind. It's only a short one, just 2 chapters. Oh! And before I forget, it's purely AU ^_^ READ AND REVIEW!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRRTT! Oh no! Her brother's team had lost its slot to the nationals. She'd hate to see oni-chan disappointed and she thought their loss was unfair but Ryonan was a hard team to beat.
"Rukawa-kun," she breathed. Her brother looked at her with the same smugly face he has everyday and nodded.
"He thinks I don't know that he's mad but I do know that he feels defeated. I'll wait for him at the gym entrance," the girl thought. The whole auditorium was chanting "Ryonan!" and it almost made her sick. She'd seen the whole game clearly and she was surprised at every move the players made. But that guy Sendoh, he was a tough one. Her brother, the 'super rookie', was spunky enough but unfortunately not enough to beat Sendoh.
She stood up as the Ryonan players cheered for their victory, and she walked to the auditorium entrance. She'd make her brothers feel comfortable, at least for some time. Besides, it was just a practice game!

"Ah, oni-chan! Great game," she said as soon as she saw Rukawa coming, his sports bag hanging from his shoulder. "Tsch! We lost, Keiko-chan," was his reply.
She didn't mind his haughty response but turned to the rest of the team. "You're all great! I knew my brother was happy for a cause!" she told them.
Hanamichi went up to her and said, "Are you really baka kitsune's sister? You seem so full of life unlike this unwanted fox!"
Keiko laughed at him and looked at Kaede. "Kaede, I'm hungry and I know you are, too. So what would it be? Ice cream or pizza?" she offered.
"Straight home," the so-called fox answered.
"Oi, Rukawa! Why can't you be nicer to your sister?" Mitsui asked. "Oh, no, Mitsui," Keiko defended. "He's nice, actually. I think he's just shy to show his true giddy side, eh oni-chan?" Rukawa just turned away and kept on walking.
She, on the other hand, was rooted to where she was for a moment then waved good bye to her brother and the team. "I'll be eating out, Kaede! I'm really hungry. Bye!" she called out and ran in the other direction.
"Don't be late," the pale-skinned guy called after her but she was already running.
"Take care, Keiko-chan!" Ayako said. The team walked on hoping to go back home as soon as possible to sleep and hopefully not regret the loss.

Keiko was looking for a nice place to eat in when suddenly, she felt something drop to her head. She looked up and saw the dark sky starting to pour. "Oh no! I'll be hungry and cold!" she exclaimed and started to run but she was blocked, letting her fall out of balance.
"Oi! Oi! Can't you see it's raining?" she shouted at the person.
"Gomen ne. hey, you're Rukawa's sister, right?" a manly voice inquired. She looked at the tall person she bumped into and was that familiar guy with the ridiculous hairdo.
"Akira Sendoh," she whispered. He helped her up and put her into the safety under his umbrella.
"You're Rukawa's sister, right?" he asked again. She nodded and looked at him intently. His eyes weren't as keen as of his brother's but he was a better player. His seemingly innocent face totally hides his ability.
"What? Is there dirt on my face?" he asked, noticing her stare. She shook her head 'no' and looked away.
"Ah, so you're like your brother. Chooses your word and almost never bothers to speak," he exclaimed.
"No, I'm not," she muttered. "I'm different from him."
The two walked in silence when Akira broke the ice. "So, where are you headed?" he asked. "I don't know. I'll be eating out, I guess," she answered, still not looking at him.
"Eating out, eh? Well, can I join you? I'm not a good cook, to tell you the truth, except for when you like burnt dishes," he told her. She smiled but her face quickly returned to its hostile state. "Tough like her brother," he thought. "Do you have an exact place in mind?" he asked again.
"No, do you?" she asked him back.
"Now you're asking the right guy! It's just around the corner," he answered. After a few more minutes, they went inside a restaurant and settled on a corner booth.
"Is that Sendoh? Sendoh Akira? Oohh, let's go talk to him!" a group of girls cooed and went to Sendoh, obviously not noticing Keiko. "Sendoh, I think you owe those girls some money. They're coming towards you in hordes!" Keiko said, looking at the group of girls heading towards them. Sendoh looked behind him and saw them.
"Oh no," he muttered. As soon as the girls saw Keiko, their smiles disappeared and gave her a look of knives and daggers. "You," the kind-of leader said, pointing directly at Keiko, "Are you Sendoh's girlfriend?"

I just had to stop it at that moment. The original chapter was too long so I decided to cut it to that part. I'll post the next and last chapter tomorrow, and then you'll know what'll happen next! ^_^ DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW IT! It'll mean so much to me. *winks*
