Author's Note: This is my very first Slam Dunk fan fiction. FYI: my entire fanfic happened between the episodes. Um… what else that's right! Hope you guys like it!

The Prologue:

Hisashi Mitsui just returned to Shohoku. It has been two years since he last played basketball. He walked towards the gym's entrance. He saw his reflection on a window. He just had his hair cut. The moment he entered the gym, the shohoku players looked at him. They were all shocked. Is this Mitsui? Mitsui began to practice and show off his skills. He made an attempt to shoot the ball. (Of course he was able to shoot it. Duh!) Then it was Sakuragi's turn. He was a to shoot the ball when Haruko came in. Then Lukawa made a dunk. Haruko was impressed. Then she offered Sakuragi a drink.

When Mitsui saw this,he remembered her. When they were in junior high, she used to give Hisashi a fresh bottle of water. He stood there for a while. Just then, (coincidence maybe) he saw her. What was her name again? He smiled. It was impossible for him to forget her name. Akiko Mizuhara. He repeated that name several times in his head. She's probably one of the most popular people in school, one of the smartest girls in their batch and (Mitsui sighed) most importantly his childhood friend…

END OF PROLOGUE

That was the prologue. I based this in the episode when Hisashi-kun…I mean Mitsui returned to play basketball. I noticed that in one part there he stared at something. So I thought that HISASHI-KUN must have been looking at something…or SOMEONE!
