Tokyo International Airport
'We are finally back,' said Belle, who had just returned to Japan after leaving 14 years ago. Ever since she knew that she is a Japanese, she has always wanted to return to Japan, her homeland. 'Otou-san, which school am I going to?'
'Shohoku High School, in Kanagawa, my alma mater. You'll be starting school next Monday.'
'So fast?! Next Monday is in 3 days time. I won't be able to go sightseeing.'
'Don't worry. You have enough time during the holidays to go sightseeing all you want.'
****************
'Akira! Wake up or you'll be late for your match!!!' Yukiko shouted and screamed while pounding on Akira's bedroom door. Inside, Akira slowly stirred and jammed his pillow over his ears. After a few minutes, he finally got fed up with Yukiko's screaming, and he got out of bed drowsily.
'Stop shouting, Yukiko. At this rate you'll be a shrew in no time and trust me, no one will want to marry you,'Akira said, opening the door. Yukiko blushed as she saw Akira come out topless. / Stop blushing. Akira will laugh at you. / Akira yawned, then remembered that he wasn't wearing a shirt. // Never mind. There aren't any outsiders around. //
'Yukiko-chan, is my breakfast ready yet?'
Yukiko nodded, 'It's on the dining table. I've packed all the necessities for your match in your bag. The lemon slices are in a lunch box at the top left pocket of your bag. I have to go to school for my basketball practice now. Ganbatte Akira!'
'How many times must I remind you to call me Onii-san and not Akira?'
'Iie. I like calling you Akira.'
'Onii-san.'
'No, Akira.'
'Onii-san.'
'Akira. Or I won't make you breakfast anymore.'
'Fine. Call me Akira. But only at home, you hear me, imouto?'
'Quit talking or you'll be late for your match!' Yukiko pushed him out the door.
********************* 'Belle, I think I'll bring you to Shohoku today so as to let you get used to the school,' her dad said.
'Whatever for? Otou-san, I really want to go sightseeing. Besides, how complicated can a school be? I'll get used to it when school starts,' Belle replied.
'I can't believe it. You don't want to visit my alma mater with me,' Belle's father said in a sad voice.
'Don't whine. You know it doesn't work on me. You are too old for whining,' Belle rolled her eyes.
'I still remember how you would ask me to take you to visit my alma mater when you were young. But now that you're old enough to take care of yourself, you don't want me anymore, do you?" Her father pretended to look devastated.
'Stop whining, Otou-san. Alright, I'll go to Shohoku with you. But only for half the day.'
'That's my daughter! Let's go!'
*****************
'YUKIKO! YOU ARE LATE AGAIN!' screamed the coach.
'I'm sorry, Coach. I had some personal problems to handle at home,' Yukiko said, apologetically.
'This had better be the last time that you are late,' the coach said. 'You will run ten rounds around the school and clean the basketball courts after practice as a punishment.'
'Hai,' Yukiko said, putting her bag on the floor and starting her run. / It's all Akira's fault. If he didn't take so long to wake up, then I wouldn't have been late for my basketball training. I had better speed up or else coach is going to ask me to run a few more rounds. / Hence, Yukiko's run became a sprint instead.
Meanwhile, Belle was walking across the field, making her way to the office. Her father had already reached the office. /// Curse the Sun.Why do I have to be here? I'm in no mood to visit my future school. ///
CRASH!
'Are you alright?' Yukiko asked, looking at Belle, who was sitting on the ground.
'I'm still alive and kicking. Just help me up, please,' Belle answered, stretching out her hand to Yukiko, who took it and helped her up.
'Who are you? You don't belong to the school,' Yukiko said.
'Not yet, but soon I will. I just came back from America and I'll be starting school here on Monday.'
'So you're a new student! Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Sendoh Yukiko. Nice to meet you.'
'I'm Shiroyama Belle. Nice to meet you too.'
'Are you a Japanese?'
'Yes, 100% pure Japanese.'
'But why do you have an English name instead of a Japanese?'
'Well, when I was born, both my parents were leaving for America. They did not expect us to be back for a long time. By giving me an English name, it was easier for my teachers in America to address me.'
'I see. Which class will you be going to?'
'I don't know yet. What about you? What class are you from?'
'Me? I'm from 2/5.'
'YUKIKO! WHAT?! ARE YOU SKIVING? YOU CAN RUN AN EXTRA TWO ROUNDS!'
'That's my coach. I got to go for my training now. See you!'
'Okay. Bye.' Belle said, waving good-bye to Yukiko who had already sprinted off. /// She sure can run. If only I could run as fast as her. Then, I would be able to join the basketball team. /// Belle sighed and walked off to join her father.
******************** (Monday)
'Belle-chan,' Yukiko said, as she saw Belle walking towards the office. Belle turned and flashed a brilliant smile at Yukiko.
'Ohayo, Yukiko-chan!' Belle replied.
'Ohayo. You want me to show you around? There's still half an hour before school starts.'
'That would be great.'
'Let's go then.' Yukiko brought Belle to the canteen, then to the different levels of classrooms, and then to the basketball court before returning to the office. 'That's about all there is to Shohoku.'
'Yukiko-chan, what activities does the school offer?'
'We have a lot. We have baseball, basketball, swimming, track and field, Art Club, Symphonic Band, Computer Club, etc. What do you want to join?'
'I love sports, especially basketball but I'm not the sporty kind of person. So I have no idea.'
'Since you love basketball, why don't you apply to be the manager of our female basketball team?'
'Good idea. I'll do just that. By the way, Yukiko-chan what did you join?'
'Basketball and I love it, even though my coach is a sadistic monster. Belle-chan, you must specify that you want to be the manager of the female basketball team, or you will not get in. The male side has 2 managers already. It's time for the girls to have one. We're becoming terribly disorganized.'
Ring~ring~ring
'Lessons are starting soon. Bye Belle-chan. See you later. Remember, I'm in 2/5' Yukiko said, running back to her class.
'You must be Miss Shiroyama.' Belle turned. Standing behind her was a middle-aged female teacher.
'Hai, sensei.'
'Miss Shiroyama, you will be in my class, 2/10. School's starting, so let me bring you to the class.'
********************
(In the class)
'Class stand,' said the class chairperson. Everyone greeted the teacher.
'Settle down class. Today we have a new student. She has just come back from America. Miss Shiroyama, say something to them.' Belle nodded and then took a step forward.
'I'm Shiroyama Belle. Nice to meet you.'
'Belle, you will take the empty seat beside Rukawa-kun.' Belle looked at her seat as well as Rukawa. /// Great. I have this sleeping idiot sitting beside me. /// Belle took her seat and wondered what lies ahead for her in Shohoku.
********************
(Break time)
/// It's finally break time! I can't wait to get out of class, it's so boring. It's much better being with Yukiko-chan. I shall go look for her./// Belle left for the class 2/5.
'Hey Rukawa. Wake up. It's break time.' Rukawa stirred, opening his eyes. Following that, he took his basketball and went straight for the basketball court.
'Belle-chan, how's class so far? What class are you in?'
'Class is so boring. I almost fell asleep. I'm in 2/10 and I'm seating beside a sleeping idiot who drools too. Yukiko-chan, show me your basketball skills.'
'Sure. Let's go now. The courts are empty now.'
(Basketball court, Rukawa just did a dunk)
'Who's that?' Belle asked. /// Oh my! He just did a dunk!!! ///
'That's Rukawa Kaede. He is in the same class as you and is the sleeping idiot you were referring to just now.'
'You sure he's Rukawa?' Belle looked at Yukiko disbelievingly. /// That sleeping drooling idiot sitting beside me is a basketball player? That's impossible! ///
'I'm very sure. Rukawa is well-known in Kanagawa for his basketball skills. He is very good in basketball, but not as good as someone.'
'Who?'
'Sendoh Akira. Akira is the best player in Kanagawa, but Rukawa is good too.'/ Akira's the best! /
'You sure?' said Belle, convinced that Rukawa is the best. After all, Rukawa is only in his second year in high school but his skills are definitely superior to most high school basketball players.
'Yes. I'm positive. Hey, aren't I supposed to show you my skills?'
'Yeah, I almost forgot. Go ahead!' Yukiko went into the courts and then she began to display the skills that Akira had taught her. /// Wow, I didn't know that Yukiko-chan is so good! But I still think Rukawa's better. /// Then, Yukiko dribbled the ball from half court and did a dunk similar to Rukawa's. /// Is that the dunk Rukawa did just now? Yukiko must be really good. Not many girl basketball players can do dunks, even in America. /// Rukawa turned and looked at Yukiko. *She is good, but not good enough. How can I let a girl do a dunk that's similar to mine? It's an insult. Never mind, I'll just do more difficult dunks to show her that she is not good enough.* Rukawa did a 360 degrees dunk.
'Rukawa, nice dunk but I can do it too!' Yukiko yelled as she did a 360 degrees dunk too. Rukawa stared at her coldly, but he was impressed by Yukiko's skill. For a girl she is definitely one of the top girl basketball players in Japan. Yukiko smiled at him, 'This goes to show that your skills aren't as good as rumoured.'
'Do'ahou.'
'Don't go calling players you can't beat do'ahou. I've got a name. Sendoh Yukiko. Remember that. If you can't beat me, you can't beat my brother either.' Yukiko said, walking towards him. Belle could feel the tension between them and decided to break it up before they started fighting.
'Yukiko-chan, I'm hungry. Let's go and grab a bite. Bye Rukawa.' Belle said, dragging Yukiko out of the courts.
Rukawa said nothing as he watched at them leave. * Who's Sendoh Yukiko's brother? Could her brother be Akira? But Sendoh has never told me that he has a sister.*
