Author's Notes:
Konnichiwa, minna-san! I am Shohoku no Miko [translated as "Maiden of Shohoku] and this is my first time to write a Slam Dunk fic. I simply love Ryota Miyagi! ^_^; I like him and I like to pay more attention to him, instead of the usual attention Rukawa Kaede or Sendoh Akira gets. This fic will be a songfic. It is MxA [You know that, ne?] Please review!
Disclaimer: I am no owner of Slam Dunk. Mr. T does. I don't even own the song "The Search Is Over", it's by Survivor.
Well here goes nothing...
The Search Is Over
by Shohoku no Miko
Chapter One: The Right Decision?
[A/N: Ryota is a junior, just like the series goes. And in here, Ayako and Ryota are lovers since Junior High School.]
"One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!" male voices echoed through the gymnasium. Foot steps were heard, sweat were trickling down the temples of the players, a constant bouncing of the ball can be heard. Shohoku Basketball team is really at it. Hard. Well who wouldn't work hard if your next opponent is Kainan?
"Ryota-kun!" someone shouted. The whole team stopped and looked towards the direction of the voice. Ryota looked up from the floor and found out that the voice belonged to his girlfriend.
HIS girlfriend, the manageress of the team.
"Woo-hoo!" the team teased, making Ayako blush. Ryota walked towards his girlfriend and threw his right arm around her slender shoulders.
"Nandesu ka, Aya-chan?" he carelessly stepped on her foot.
"Ouch!" cried Ayako.
"Oh, gomen, koi. Gomen ne!" Ryota soothed his girlfriend.
"Daijobu. I need to talk to you."
"Sure."
"In private." she stressed out.
Shohoku team cheered once again, teasing the two. Sakuragi danced with Mitsui, as if imitating the two. "Just the two of us..." they were singing and dancing, with dreamy looks on their faces. Rukawa just stared blankly at the two of them, immobile and silent. Akagi was trying to keep his laughter in. Kogure joined in the laughter and kept on teasing the two.
A funny-looking fan hit each head of each player. "Ouch!" they mumbled, while Sakuragi and Mitsui groaned very loud, having received the hardest blow.
"Serves you right for laughing at me. Now on with the practice! You would'nt want to lose the game against Kainan two days from now." she shouted. Then she turned to Ryota. "As for you, we have to talk. Come with me outside." and Ryota followed.
~How can I convince you
What you see is real
But who am I to blame you
For doubting what you feel...~
They sat on a bench outside the gym where there is a view of the soccer field. "So, what was it you we were going to talk about?" Ryota started.
"Oh, yeah. I want to talk to you about..."
"About...?" Ryota repeated.
"About us." Ayako looked him straght in the eye.
"What about us? Is anything wrong?"
"Do you still remember the dream you told me after we graduated Junior High?"
"Dream? But of course! It is my dream to be the top point guard in the prefecture. Why?"
"I know you won't stop until you fulfill that dream of yours. That's why..."
"Is there something wrong. Aya-chan?"
"Do you love Basketball?"
"Heck, I do! It's my top priority!"
At the sound of his words, Ayako wanted to shed tears, but held them back. 'His top priority? God, does he notice I'm already having doubts?'
"Is that so? Then I don't want to be the debacle in your means to reach your dream."
"Really?" Ryota replied, his mind drifting to Basketball championships.
'How dense! He can't even sense it.' She thought.
"I will not deprive you from your dream, Miyagi-san. Then it's settled. It's over. Go back now and the team is waiting for you."
"That's it? You only asked about my dream? I thought it was something important. Well anyways I should get back now." Ryota said as he jogged into the gymnasium once again.
Ayako broke down the very instant that Ryota left her outside.
