I'm not a great fan of Aida Hikoichi, but I have yet to see a Hikoichi based fic. So I'm writing one to add to the record. I seem to be writing a lot of fics about the not so liked characters. Hey, I'm the one who wrote a Rukawa bash fic, an Akagi fic and magic based SD fic, so sue me if you think I'm weird, it's just the way I am.
Anyway, this fic takes place a year after the show, which means that Sendoh and Koshino are in their third year and Hikoichi is in his second. Basically, as the new first years join the team, a girl signs up as assistant team manager. She happens to be exactly like Hikoichi. Always checking up on things and supporting the weirdest people. She's methodical and tactical, a great asset to the team when it comes to seeing through plays and coming up with new ones to adjust the game to their speed. But will poor Hikoichi feel left out when all the attention goes to the new girl? P/s I know that the names will sound very familiar to some of you, but don't leak it out okay? ^_~
Yo-Check Ya!
*Pant, pant*
Hikoichi raced towards the gym and was for once, later then everyone else. Except Sendoh that is. Everyone turned towards the door to see their panting team manager trying to catch his breath.
"Ne, Hikoichi-kun, late eh? First time," said Koshino, tossing a ball effortlessly through the hoop. He had nearly not recognized the Ryonan team manager, for over the year end break, Hikoichi had grown and matured a little, little, bit and was looking more like a basketball player. He was taller now, and looked better to. But he still had his `Yo-check ya!' habit.
Hikoichi nodded and tried to catch his breath as he replied, "Ha...hai sempai. Demo, I was late because I had to take a retest for my physics."
"Yare, yare. How many newcomers will there be later?" asked Koshino. Hikoichi looked at his scribble filled book and said, "Fifteen."
"Sixteen." Turning to look, Hikoichi realized that it was his sensei, coach Taoka who spoke. He continued saying, "Someone has applied for the post of assistant manager and I agreed to it." Turning to Hikoichi he said, "We will be needing all the players we have this year, so I want to see you training with your sempais and juniors this year Hikoichi, let the assistant manager take over most of your duties okay?"
Nodding, Hikoichi replied, "Hai sensei. Demo, who is the assistant manager? Do we know him?" Taoka smiled and said, "You'll find out who it is in a little while. Both coach Anzai and Takato agree that this new manger will be a great asset to the team, that is why I agreed to the post of assistant manager."
Hikoichi was about to ask some more questions when Sendoh ran into the gym.
"Ne, Sensei, gomen, demo..." Taoka sensei waved his hand and rolled his eyes.
"Never mind Sendoh. Just get to practice." The ever-smiling star of the Ryonan team smiled and nodded saying, "Hai." Turning back to the rest of the team, he shouted, "I want you to do fifty laps around the court NOW!"
"HAI!" shouted everyone as they scrambled to their feet.
Later...
"Sendoh, pass!" shouted Koshino as he caught up with his teammate. Sendoh smirked and passed the ball to his friend who in turn ran up and shot a rebound shot, which Sendoh turned into an alley-oop. Then as he landed just outside the court...
*CRASH! *
Sendoh landed neatly outside the court and was stunned when he was hit by something. Turning to look, he realized that a girl had crashed into him.
A small sized girl sat on the court stunned as Sendoh looked down at her. Everyone face vaulted when the first words that came out of her mouth was, "SUGOI! Sugoi, sugoi, SUGOI!"
She stared up at Sendoh in wonder and awe as everyone else either slapped their foreheads or sweat-dropped. The words, "Not another one," could be seen in thought bubbles above their heads. Sendoh merely raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders before turning away as the girl got up and dusted herself off.
She wasn't exactly a beauty. She was, well, short, even shorter, much shorter then Hikoichi to be exact and was very small, very, very small, yes, smaller then Hikoichi. Her dark chestnut colored hair was done up into two somewhat long, messy braids. She wore big classical, red tinted round glasses and had a freckled face. Her eyes were big and round and she looked like a grade school student.
She wore a big smile on her face as she waved across the court to Coach Taoka. She ran up to him smiling and said, "Gomen. Sorry I'm late, but I had to take the TATs before they would let me come here. You wouldn't believe how simple they were. The physics test was the simplest. All you had to do was find the velocity, and find the random speed and distance and the astrophysics was simple to. All you had to do was to explain why Gemini is at the position in the northern hemisphere and why..."
"Okay, okay," said Coach Taoka, rubbing his temples, he was getting a headache just listening to her babble about the stars, and to think she was going to be a part of his team. This was going to be a long year, a very long year.
Calling to the team, he said, "All right, everyone gather around!" and everyone scrambled to stand in a row in front of their coach.
"I want the year ones to stand in a row, the rest of you can stand behind me." Then, as the year ones got into a row, Coach Taoka said, "all right, I want you to introduce yourselves by telling us your name, class, height, weight, the position that you played in J.H, which J.H you were from and what your hobbies are." Pointing to the first boy in the row from the left he said, "You first." And the introductions started.
"My name is Kamiya Hikaru, class one ten. Height one-six eight, weight sixty-five kilos. Position, point guard. From Wacko junior high. Hobbies, playing basketball." Said the first boy.
"Name, Ishida Hiro, class one six. Height one seven three, weight sixty-eight kilos. Position, small forward. Takeishi junior high. Hobbies, web page designing."
"Hmm..." said Coach Taoka. This boy, he had an interest in. he was the MVP last year and was a very good catch.
"My name is Yukishiro Soujiro. I'm one seven two point five, and weigh sixty-nine kilos. I played power forward in Takeishi J.H. My hobby is building and redefining model robots."
And so the introductions went on until...
The girl sat crossed legged on the floor, her books scattered around her as she worked furiously calculating something. The older players looked over her shoulder and watched in confusion as she scribbled furiously into her book. Then she felt someone nudge her. Looking up she realized that it was her turn to introduce herself.
"Oh, so sorry," apologized the girl, "But I was working on some matrixes. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to hear about them. But it is so interesting. Anyway," she bounced up and faced them smiling before introducing herself.
"My name is Shinomori Bairyn. I'm one five-five, and weigh thirty-five kilos. I didn't play basketball in junior high, because my junior high didn't have a girl's basketball team. But when I'm with my cousin, I usually play shooting guard. I kind of school hop because of my parents, but my last school was Sank I.C college of Science. My hobbies besides working out mathematical and scientific calculations are rollerblading, fencing, archery and martial arts as well as basketball. And I don't mind if you give me nicknames either. So feel free to call me what ever you please."
"Is your cousin in senior high?" asked Sendoh. Bairyn nodded and Sendoh asked, "From where?" Bairyn tilted her head to the side and put her finger to the cheek thoughtfully and said, "I think he's from Shohoku."
"Really?" said Sendoh, raising an eyebrow, "What is his name?" Bairyn beamed and said, "Hi-kun, I mean, Mitsui Hisashi. Rukawa's quite cool too, he plays with me sometimes when Hi-kun isn't able to."
Hikoichi walked up to her and asked, "Exactly how old are you?" Bairyn smiled and answered, "I'm only fourteen. But I took the TATs so I don't have to do the last year of junior high and the first year of senior high. The TATs that I took just now were to see if I could jump to year three."
"TATs?" asked Koshino.
"TATs means Technically Advanced Tests," explained Bairyn, "according to the I.Q tests that they made me take, I have the average I.Q of an extremely intelligent student in the year three in senior high. I don't believe it, but..."
"Chill," said Sendoh, "Relax, since you're here, you should relax. Anyway, this is a boy's team, so what are you doing here?" Bairyn grinned and pushed her glasses up, stuck her hand out and said, "I'm the new assistant team manager. It's a pleasure to meet all of you!"
Anyway, this fic takes place a year after the show, which means that Sendoh and Koshino are in their third year and Hikoichi is in his second.
