Chapter 1

She sat in the shadows quietly watching a particular boy. She had long straight black hair reaching around her waist, pale skin and a pair of deep set dark brown eyes. Nobody took any noticed of her as she sat alone in a corner with a sketch book holding in her left hand and her right hand move swiftly over it.

"AUGGHHHHH! RUKAWA LOVE RUKAWA!"

The girl jumped slightly and looked up, when a bunch of girls started yelling when a tall dark haired boy did an excellent dunk. Shaking her head slightly she lowered her head down her sketch again. After putting in her last touch she smiled looking down at her work. Quickly she packed her things into her bag and stood up from the corner looking down at the group of boys practicing basketball.

She was reluctant to leave but she had to attend her Art Club meeting now, however she didn't mind. The basketball team practices everyday.

She will come again tomorrow to sketch her favourite player. Kaede Rukawa.

Later, when the sun had set completely, the basketball team finally finished practicing.

Damn those girls, Mitsui thought when they were ready to leave. Can't they cheer quietly? Shit! Like who will cheer quietly? Baka!

Just admit it. You are jealous. A small voice mocked him inside his head. SHUT UP!

Mitsui left the gym quietly with Sakuragi and Miyagi at his wake. They went over to the basins to have a drink of water when Mitsui saw a silhouette of a girl standing in the dark near the gym leaning on a near by tree her head inclined.

He smiled at the familiar silhouette and walked towards her.

"OI, where are you going Mitchi?" Sakuragi shouted.

"None of your business!" Mitsui snapped in returned.

The girl watched Mitsui walking over towards her and she smiled. Every boy would swoon at the girl's smile. She had the most innocent looking smile and face, even though she was very small for a sixteen year old girl.

"Hey, Nay why are you still here?" Mitsui asked jogging up to her.

She shrugged and pointed to him.

"Waiting for me is it?"

She nodded.

"Well, we just finish practice I will be right out. Wait for me OK! It will take only a few minutes."

She nodded again.

Nay watched Mitsui running back into the gym disappeared through another exit leading into the school building. The sound of dribbling soon caught her attention and she moved closer to the door to see who was still practicing. Her eyes widened slightly to see a year one boy with dark messy hair dribbling the ball lightly, walking towards the rim, slowly at first, then broke into a run, jumped and dunk!

She smiled slightly, and took out her sketch book. She looked at the previous sketches she had done on him and was about to sit down and start sketching another picture of him, when Mitsui appeared again. Slightly disappointed, she quickly put her sketch book away and waited for Mitsui to come over to her.

"Come on, let's go." Mitsui said, his sport bag hanging over his shoulders as he approached her. "Did any nice drawings in Art Club today?"

She shrugged and smiled up at him.

Rukawa turned around, on time to see Mitsui walking out the gym with a small petite girl with dark straight long hair, pale skin and a small note book hanging on a string around her neck. He couldn't imagine anyone would wear a notebook around their neck before. He noticed her everyday hiding in the shadows scribbling something on her sketch book. While other girls screamed and shout his name, all she did was sitting in a corner watching him intently and scribbling something inside that sketch book. Whatever she was doing really disturbed him. He never knew that he could even notice a small girl like that trying to hide her presence away from everyone but failed to hide from him. She was there everyday, with that same sketch book she holds in front of her.

For the first time in his life he was curious about something other than basketball.

What was in that sketch book?
