It's a long time since I decided to write and it's an even longer time since I tried acting on the impulse. I hope you like this.

            It was another beautiful day at the Shohoku gym. Everybody was practicing their shots. And all were decent or passable enough even Hanamichi's.

            The day started as usual for Hanamichi but he can't help thinking that he missed something on the line. 'What could it be? I don't know but I have this feeling that something is about to happen. Hmm…what could it be that this tensai missed?'

            As he was pondering his dilemma, a ball sped fast and…

            "Ouch! Old man, baka! What did you do that for?"

            The said baka just grinned with mischief. " Ha! And you say you are a tensai? Even the other freshman saw it coming within a mile. Tensai, my ass!"

            By now, Hanamichi's face was the same color as his hair. "Grr… old man, here I come." And then the two mentally deranged teenagers were running around like cats and dogs in an alley.

            Hanamichi was trying hard to get close to Mitsui and Mitsui was dodging every attempt. He looked back at the 'tensai' and blew a raspberry. Not looking where he was going, he ran into a wall. A beating wall. A hard beating wall. A hard beating chest of a gorilla.

            "Bakayaro! What are you two doing?" and with that question two bodies were seen slumping on the floor with the infamous gorilla punch on both their heads.

            "Anou, Akagi, I don't think you should have done that," the co-captain, Kogure said, "We need them tomorrow and they are just letting off steam."

            "I know but I had to. Those two are acting more like like brats and it is important that we be serious tomorrow."

            "Hai, I understand demo-"

            "No buts. Tomorrow we win. Today we practice and then they could do this afterwards. Alright, everybody back to work."
