Dear minna,

Okay. I'll be honest. I really, really did not ever believe that I would be posting up a fic ever. I have to say, I'm still quite surprised at myself. Recently I have been receiving much support on writing. Many writers have come up to me and asked me when I would be writing a fic and I laughed and replied, "I don't know."

Perhaps you(the readers) are wondering now, "Then why is she writing?" Well, as I was eating my supper at 1.20 am, (is it called supper at that time?) I thought of Ayako. Thinking of Ayako immediately brought me to Ryota.

I've recently ended a relationship and well, I've started seeing things in a new light. I've always thought being in a relationship was just, " Yes I like him/ her " or " No I don't like him/her " I assumed it would be easy being part or a relationship but, *sigh* it wasn't as easy as I thought. I started seeing both Ryota's and Ayako's relationship( if you can call that one) differently and I suddenly got an urge to write.

A thought also hit me. If F. F. N staff knew I wasn't a writer, would they kick me off? o_O Back to the original topic, (Ryota & Ayako) frankly, I didn't think I would write about them. Somehow I always assumed that if I ever wrote, I would write about Jin or Rukawa perhaps. Maybe even Sendoh. ^.^ I am rather taken aback at my choice but, okay. I support myself. ^^ ( self praise ain't it )

I would like to end my notes in a short while, but I would like to extend my thank you's.

Takehiko Inoue ; He is the person I believe we have to thank. Without him there wouldn't be any Slam Dunk. No Rukawa, No Sakuragi, no S.D people!

F. F. N ; If there wasn't F. F. N we wouldn't have the chance to read or post up fics!

My friends on F. F. N (you guys know who you all are ^^) ;

Hmm.Its always me who reads..strange. I feel very strange knowing you guys will be reading my "story" now.-_- Newayz, thanks for feeding me with fics each time I say, " Next chapter/ chappie plz! "

And now, I would very much like to present to you, my fic staring Ayako and Ryota. Thank you! (I find it incredible the you guys read my hmm what shall we call this? Notes.!)

p.s : Most of it will be in Ayako's POV
