It is a very hot day.
The same with Hanamichi's mood.
'why do I have to go out today? I don't feel like moving' he thought.
It's been so unusual to see him grumping . most of those who meet him automatically stepped aside so they can't blocked his way.
It's for their own good to turn away from him so moody . you know usually he's reacting exagggerately. Especially when Haroko's around.
"Hanamichi!" someone called him from his back.
It's just Yue Mito grinning at him. He took a deep breath. If only haroko's here everything will be gay.
"uhm. What do you want?" he asked without bothering to stop.
"you don't look good today hanamichi," mito noticed "have you been rejected again?"
"Of course not. I'm not courting anybody aside from Haroko. He's my only one." Hana answered emotionally.
Mito just smile. What's new? Hanamichi has always been like that until the girl will say that he like someone better than him.
"Then why are you so in a bad mood?" Mito insist to know. "Did you saw Haroko and Rukawa dating?"
"NO! Did they?" suddenly he become too emotional as if he's going to cry anytime.
"No I haven't." Mito answred.
"Hmp! Did you caome here just to push me?" Hana asked irritatedly.
"No of course not", Mito became serious now. "I just saw some people that might interest you."
"What? Who?" hana's being so uninterested. He didn't even pay much attention to his friend.
"Just your sister with your cousins at the Pachinco Bar yesterday. "
"Really? Are you sure?" Hana's more in panic than when he hear Haroko's dating Rukawa.
He had all the reasons to panic, for all your information. He's sister is just nearby! And with their cousins!
Anytime they can meet. It's really a big trouble.
"hey Hanamichi! Don't panic," Mito console him "I just saw them but I'm sure they didn't see us. They seemed too occupied "
"Are you sure?" he felt relieved. "... maybe their back again now in Nagoya."
"Anyway are you going to practice today?"
"Of course! Even basketball geniuses needs to practice and give inspiration to his team, ha ha ha ha ha!"
At the basketball court, the practice has been more intense cause Gori has been More serious in practicing. Hanamichi has been hit by the Akagi more than ten times. And worst that can happen that day, he didn't see his "Haroko".
Hayako said she had been so busy in her exams. The day ends up now and Hana has been so exhausted.
He went to the restroom to gather up his things. The others have already gone home and only few of them was left.
Outside, six girls came. It's obvious they were looking for something or maybe someone. Ryota has been the first one to notice them but he was frozed in awe in seeing those sexy things. Mitsui noticed he's reaction "Hey what happened to you?"
Ryota just point those he had seen. All of them was now staring at the newcomers. Even Akagi whom they thought numb in girls is staring sharply to them and Rukawa too. They're obviously not students of Shohoku. Their all in jeans.
"Hey there! Can ask question?", said one of them. "IS someone here named Hanamichi Sakuragi?" one of them asked.
The boys were puzzled and shocked even Rukawa was intrigue. Their all raising the same question.
'What in the world could be the reason why do this sexy and awesome girls are looking for such a dumb-head guy.
The girls came in without wearing off their shoes! Usually Akagi will be angry and violently order that someone to get out of the court. But now he said "hey misses, would you like to wear of your shoes?" in a very low voice that it will be impossible for the visitors to hear it.
