This is my first fanfic.. I kinda nervous but.. Hope you guys like it! I write it without knowing the ending too (Yes, I'm still confused about the ending. Suggestion, please?). It placed before Hanamichi returns to Shohoku (Sorry all Hanamichi's fans, but I gonna mention him, anyway, me like Hanamichi too!!). Yeah, don't forget to leave review too!
CHAPTER 1: IT'S NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
The Shohoku basketball team is practicing as usual—hard work without mercy! Now, they even double it up, remembering the winter tournament is almost here.
Akagi Haruko as the assistant manager of the Shohoku basketball team, checked the entire gym for the last time before she leave—since she is the one who responsible to lock the gym's door. Of course she doesn't mind to do this job! If that mean could spend much time with Rukawa! (Like in the original series, Rukawa always stay behind to do more practice.)
Haruko close her eyes and imagine all of Rukawa's basketball action, how flawless is his way of playing, even though it sad to know all in Rukawa's mind is BASKETBALL. "Ugh, Rukawa-kun… I wish you know how much I like you."
"You like that heartless boy?!"
Haruko turning and see a boy with a naughty smile standing in the gym's door. Oh no!
"Mitsui-san!!"
"Hahahaha, I can't believe this. I come back to do shooting practice and ending up know some dirty little secret!"
"Ugh…"
"Come to think of it, maybe that's the reason you willing to locked the gym! What if Hanamichi know about this?" His smile is becoming wide.
"Mitsui-san… I, ugh…" Haruko's face is turning all red. 'Great job Haruko! You are such a big talker for a girl who won't win Rukawa's heart! I'm so dumb!!'
Haruko's eyes are all watered. She felt so embarrassed. Mitsui seems to realize it and approach her.
"Hey, why do you crying?! Chill out! It's fine to fall in love with that Rukawa. Since, you're not the only one! Almost all the girls here like him also, you know!"
"I know, but… I… just…" Haruko can't stop her tears and even cry louder. Mitsui really shocked…
'Wow, does girl is really this complicated? I mean is not a big deal to me.'
Mitsui just stare at Haruko's crying face. Clueless what to do. The only girl in his life is his mother! Wait, her mother is not a girl a women! His last girlfriend dumped him in two days because of his insensitive personality—he forgets the girl name!
"Oy, what are you two doing here?" A recognizeable voice come from the gym's door. Yes, the voice came from the heartless boy that been adored by Haruko since when back when—Rukawa Kaede!
"Ru…Rukawa! What are you doing here?!" Mitsui asks panicly.
"Take my towel that I left here." Rukawa look are over the place to search for his towel. "Kuso, I lost it…"
"Towel? Ng, do you mean this one?" Haruko take out a towel from her bag. "Sorry, I wanna give it tomorrow… I don't think you will search for it."
Rukawa take that towel and left the gym immediately.
"Oy!! Rukawa!! You…" Mitsui stop to think for the right word. "You won't tell what you see to anyone, right?"
"Don't worry. I don't like to bother COUPLE." Then, Rukawa turn his back and continue his way to home.
Haruko and Mitsui look at each other. 'COUPLE?! We're not!!'
"RUKAWAAAA!! IT'S NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE!!" Mitsui scream loudly to catch up Rukawa's ear.
This night has been so complicated night for the ex-MVP and the new assistant manager.
So, how do you like it? Chapter 2 coming right away!
