Disclaimer: I don't own Slam Dunk…duh! But I own the script. My favourite
character is Rukawa Kaede. (Duh!) All other characters belong to whoever
owns Slam Dunk except the Garcia's, Rukawa's pals and other characters you
don't see in the anime or mangas.
My first fic so, be nice.
It was a scorching day. Rukawa, who was receiving the direct hit from the sunlight didn't seem to even notice the heat. It's been a long, bad day for him. Firstly, He had Chemistry, the second from the top of his least favourite subject. And right before break, he had Maths- the worst. And on top of everything: detention for an hour after school. Not that he mind anyway. He got them all the time but he never gave a damn. After a while, Rukawa woke up and stretched.
'Man… what a hot day.' He said to himself, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. 'Better go somewhere cooler.'
As he was going back to class, he fell asleep, walking. Girls swoon, guys looked at him weirdly, the usual. Finally, he reached his class, grade 2 class 11. And slept. Waiting for school to finish.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's note: This happens a year after the IH tournament. Naturally, Rukawa's in his second year.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After school, Rukawa went to the gym. To his surprise, Akagi, Mitsui and Kogure were there.
"Wow! Gori! Mitchy! Glass man!! Great to see you guys again!" Said an all too familiar voice- The do'aho.
"What brought you here?" The new captain, Miyagi's voice was heard. Silently, Rukawa came and greeted them. (With a nod that is!).
"Hey! Rukawa! How've you been?" Kogure asked. "We heard you beat Maki."
"I knew you'd do it sooner or later." Mitsui said giving him a friendly punch.
"Arigato." Rukawa said, smiling inwardly at the memory of being the best player in Japan. "Sempai, what brought you here?"
"Well, we were on our way to Akagi's house when we passed our old school. So, we kinda' felt like popping in for a while. It's been less than 3 months but I miss this place like hell." Rukawa just nodded.
"What? Study camp again? Your grades never improve does it?" Miyagi said mischievously, lifting an eyebrow.
"Mind your own business, muffin head. Like yours improved."
"What if it did? Sissy!"
"Shut up, Shorty!!!"
"What?!! Are you challenging me?!!! Then let's go, tough guy!! You and me!! One on one!"
"You're on!!" With that, as quick as lightning, Mitsui changed into his basketball clothing (he brought it with him)
"Mattaku…" Akagi sighed and sweatdropped. "Some things never change…" then, he looked around and saw Sakuragi sitting quietly on the bench, watching Mitsui and Miyagi play against one another. He approached him and sat next to him. "You've been quiet."
"Hmph." Came a short reply.
"???" Akagi was puzzled then, Rukawa passed by to put down his stuffs. To Akagi's surprise, Sakuragi stood up and went to Rukawa. Rukawa gave his usual side glare at Sakuragi.
"What do you want? Do'aho. I'm busy."
"…….Say…uh…Rukawa…" Sakuragi stammered, shifting uncomfortably, looking at the floor as if it was the most interesting thing he has ever seen. "I'm…uh…." Rukawa looked at him with his usual icy eyes. Most of the time, Sakuragi wouldn't even flinch staring at him but now, he felt very, very cold. "Could… could you...um…"
"Look, talk when you know what you wanna talk about. I'm busy." With that, Rukawa went off. Leaving a poor Sakuragi unattended.
"??????" Akagi and Kogure looked at each other questioningly. Kogure decided to find out. "Ne, Sakuragi. What's wrong?" At first, Sakuragi just stared at the floor, red faced. But Kogure urged him to tell and finally, he gave in.
"I… sort of…met this girl…" he stammered slowly.
"You what?" Akagi and Kogure asked simultaneously, in shock. In fact, they were so shocked they would've jumped off a cliff. Fortunately, they were nowhere near one. Then, Sakuragi began explaining.
// Flashback//
Sakuragi was training all by himself in a court when he felt a presence behind him. He was about to ignore the stranger when the ball he was throwing bounced and rolled off. It stopped near the stranger's feet. The stranger picked it up and started bouncing it.
"Hey, pass me the ball will ya'?" Sakuragi turned and was greeted by a flying ball. Luckily his reflex was good otherwise; it would have made a mark on his face. "Hey!! What's the big idea??!!!!" he roared.
The stranger giggled and said, "Hello, You must be Sakuragi."
Sakuragi was shocked to hear his name mentioned by a girl's voice. When he looked at her, his heart skipped a beat. Standing before him was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. She had baby blue eyes with long, silky black hair which she tied into a high ponytail, smooth, pale skin and peachy pink lips. "Training hard I see."
"No way! Not at all! No need for this genius! HAHAHAHA!!"
"Is that so?" She said, lifting an eyebrow. "Well, Mr. Genius, your bag is being 'kidnapped'." She pointed at a dog which was running away VERY quickly.
"AAAAAAHHH!!!!! MY BAG!!!!!!!!!" He was about to chase after it when a bike crashed into him. "OWW!!!!! RUKAWA!!!" He didn't have to see who it was. It was Rukawa all right. "You stupid fox!! Get off me!!!" He pushed Rukawa aside and stood up. The girl giggled. "Thanks a lot." He said.
"No problem." She said. "Hey, onichan, can you get up?" she asked, kneeling in front of Rukawa.
"O…Oni-..chan?" Sakuragi said, disbelieved.
"Hait." She said, standing up. Then, she extended her hand . "I'm Rukawa Kiriko. We're going to a café. Care to join us?"
//End of Flashback//
"That's how I met her and how I found out her relationship with Rukawa." Sakuragi said sulkily. And then added, "That was 3 days ago. And I can't stop thinking about her since then."
"… Unbelievable." Said Akagi and Kogure.
"Yeah. Especially since its Rukawa's sister."
"When did he have a sister anyway?"
All three: Sakuragi, Akagi and Kogure turned and saw Miyagi and Mitsui.
"How long have you 2 been there?!!" said Sakuragi
"Long enough to hear about your 'little' crush." Miyagi replied with an evil grin.
"You… you won't tell him will you?!"
"Hm….." Mitsui and Miyagi pretended to give it a thought.
"Please guys! I beg of you!" (Imagine that! Sakuragi actually begging.)
To Be Continued………

Ok, I apologize for my bad narration. This is my first fic so, I'm inexperienced. But, please tell me what you guys think about it. And by the way, its not a Sakuragi based fic. As I've mentioned earlier, Rukawa's my fav. Character so, his story will come in later. Always save the best for last!
And last words of nonsense blabbering, it will be a loooooong story!
Lots of Love,
