~True Feelings (Episode I)~

One day after the practice, Mitsui called out to Ryota" Hey Ryota!!" Ryota replied" Hi! What's up? I'm totally bushed." He added with a silly smile," But I don't mind practice the whole day if Ayako's there to watch me."

Mitsui sneered," All you think about is Ayako." Ryota snapped with an angry look," What are you talking about? I do think about basketball too." Ryota added with a smirk," Well, all you think about is Anzai sensei."

Mitsui's face turned red," Why don't you just admit that you like Ayako? And stop gabbing about me and sensei?" Mitsui thought No, Ryota doesn't know. So-na. Now, this time it's Ryota's face to turn red and clapped his hand over Mitsui's mouth and looking around to see if Ayako's around," Will you shut up? If she hears it, I'll kill you. I won't go easy on you."

Mitsui thought I knew it there's no way he'll know. Mitsui smirked," Relax Ayako couldn't possibly hear it." Sakuragi comes out and saw them and walked to them and smiled," Hey, what are you guys talking about?? You shouldn't leave the tensai out of your conversation."

Mitsui and Ryota called out," You tensai?! As if!! You're the King of Baka. Aah! That's more like it." Sakuragi got mad and yelled," I'm not King of Idiot. I'm tensai. King of Rebounds." Both of them yelled," No, you are King of Idiot." Sakuragi's face turned bright red," How dare you!!" And he started fighting with them. Rukawa passed by and said," Baka! Pooh!! (with a cloud of smoke)."

Sakuragi yelled," Rukawa, who are you calling baka?!" Rukawa said with a bored face," Anata."

Leaving Ryota and Mitsui behind, Sakuragi headed to Rukawa and was gonna fight with him but was dragged away by Mitsui and Ryota. Rukawa repeated again,"Baka!" Sakuragi got so angry and was going to fight with him again when somebody punched him on the head. Guess who?! Right! Akagi!

"Gori, what are you doing?" said Sakuragi holding his head in pain. Akagi replied," I'm suppose to ask you that." Mitsui and Ryota laughed," Hahahaha, baka Sakuragi. Got a punch on the head." Sakuragi got so mad.

Rukawa sighed," Baka!!" Ayako and Kogure came out. Ayako asked," hey what's going on?" Ryota said with a smile and blushing too," Hey Ayako." Ryota kept talking to Ayako ignoring everyone.

Kogure called out," Hey Mitsui!" "Hey Kogure!" "Haven't go yet, four eyed brother? Your parents would be worried about you," said Sakuragi. Kogure embarrassed replied," Hehehe, I was gonna go but I heard some sounds. Well, I gotta go. Sayonara!"

Ayako called out," Hey wait for me Kogure. I'm going with you." "Oh Ayako I'm going with you," said Ryota. "I'm going too. Sayonara Akagi. Sayonara baka Sakuragi," said Mitsui.

"So what's up Gori?" asked Sakuragi. Akagi replied," Coach wants to see you." "What is it about?" "I don't know." "Ok ok I'm going." Coach and Sakuragi talked for a few minutes and then they finished their conversation.

***

Sakuragi came out and saw Mitsui with a camera. "Hey, Missy what are you doing here? I thought you went home with them?" Mitsui trembled," Uh..uh..I forgot to take something." Sakuragi asked again," Huh?! Then why are you holding a camera then? Who are you taking pictures of?"

Mitsui replied," Uh, nothing!" Sakuragi said," Hm…you are not taking pictures of me are you??" Sakuragi smiled," Oh I guess you think I'm handsome looking so you took pictures of me right? Ohh..u didn't have to take pictures of me sneakily. I'll let you take as many pictures of me as you want."

Mitsui said," Yeah as if. Honestly, I don't think you are handsome. Rukawa's right you sure are baka."

Then Mitsui caught something at the corner of his eye and saw coach heading for his car. Then he started taking pictures of coach. Sakuragi didn't hear what Mitsui said and was doing poses for Mitsui to take photos. He leaned his hand on the wall and put his other hand on his waist," How about this Missy?"

"Huh? Kawaii!" Then Sakuragi turned and looked at Mitsui and discovered that Mitsui wasn't taking pictures of him but someone else. Sakuragi turned and looked at what Mitsui's taking pictures of. Then he saw and he couldn't believe what he saw. Mitsui was taking pictures of their old and fat coach!!! Sakuragi called out," Hey Missy, why are you taking pictures of coach?" Mitsui turned to him," Huh, nani? Oh you're still here!!" Mitsui was still in a daze.

Then Mitsui turned back to himself and said," Why are you still here? Don't tell anyone I've being taking pictures of coach ok?" Sakuragi said proudly," Of course I won't tell anyone. Trust me!!" Mitsui snapped," Trust you? As if I can trust you!" "Nani?" Sakuragi called out. Then Sakuragi turned back to the cheerful him and smiled," Choto why are you taking pictures of coach?"

Mitsui replied," Oh nothing!" Sakuragi looked at him curiously," Aaah…I know! You're a gay!!! You like coach right? Mitsui thought He found out. No, I shouldn't admit that easily. I can't. But there's no other way. "Ok ok you caught me. I admit it. But don't tell anyone about this ok?"

Mitsui was panicking. He knows that he can't trust Sakuragi. Suddenly an idea popped in his mind," If you tell anyone about this I'll tell Haruko you like her." Mitsui smirked," Well? Is it a deal?" Sakuragi snapped," It's a deal."

And that was it. Not even one of them told the secret to anyone. But one day Sakuragi Gundam seems to be avoiding Mitsui. Then Mitsui thought that Sakuragi must have told them.

So after school, Mitsui asked Sakuragi nicely," Choto Sakuragi, did you tell anyone about it?" Sakuragi trembled," Uh…well…I tell to my buddies about it. But don't worry they won't tell." Mitsui said nicely," They won't tell?" Then Mitsui punched him in the head. Sakuragi fled away and Mitsui chase after him.

True Feelings(Episode II)~Confession

Mitsui felt so gloomy while taking a walk. It doesn't look like that his coach knows that he loves him a lot. Luckily last time when Sakuragi knew that he likes Anzai sensei and told his friends, Mitsui had persuaded Sakuragi to tell them that it was all a trick and of course Sakuragi's friends were angry that they were tricked by him and all of them had ganged up against him and had beat him up. Mitsui laughed thinking of it, well, he deserves it.

If only sensei knows how I feels, but I'm sure he'll know sooner or later and we'll be together. Mitsui started to fell better. He kept walking and smiling to himself without knowing that a young girl about the age of 7 was walking only a few inches in front of him.

Ouch!

Well, you can guess what happen!! They bumped into each other. Both of them fell. Mitsui laughed at his carelessness," Hey girl! Daijobu? Gomen nasai! Guess I wasn't looking when I was walking."

The girl who didn't really looked up at him and didn't know that he was the star basketball player of Shohoku team cried. Mitsui scratched his head and said," Choto, I didn't hurt you that much. Did I?" Mitsui squatted before her and said," Let me see if you are hurt."

The girl wiped her tears away," I'm not hurt. Gomen for bumping into you. Mister, I'm lost. I can't find okasan, can you help me find okasan?" Mitsui smiled," Sure!" "But where and when did you realize that you were lost?"

The girl replied," I don't know. But before we were apart, we were together at a crowded place and then I ran to the candy section in that place without telling okasan. I shouldn't have run away without telling okasan. I shouldn't have got attracted with the candies." Mitsui patted her head," Now, now, don't blame yourself. It's normal of you to be attracted to something that you like a lot"

"Anyway, do you know what's the place name and where it is?" The girl wept silently," Iie." Mitsui scratched his head," Well, then it would be hard to find your mother if you don't even know what the place's name and where it is?"

The girl started crying louder and a lot of people started to look at what's going on. Mitsui felt embarrassed and cover her mouth," Choto, don't cry so loudly they will think that I'm bullying you." "Wakata, wakata, I said I'll find your mother and I will." Mitsui touched his chin thoughtfully," The place must be near here because if not how will you come out of that place and come here. Well, I'm sure your mother will come out of that place and look for you. Why don't we sit at that bench and wait until your mother comes here?" He pointed at the bus stop's bench. The girl nodded.

Mitsui took her hand and led her to the bench. "Why don't we chat before your mother comes here? So what's your name?" The girl replied," Omanko. Omanko Kanzaki. How about you, mister?" Mitsui smiled," Mitsui Hisashi. I'm a student of Shohoku's High School. Omanko gasped and finally looked up at him," You really are Mitsui Hisashi. I've been wanting to meet you. I'm a big fan of yours. I love your team."

Mitsui grinned," Yeah, our team's the best." Then he blushed," Gomen for boasting about my team." Omanko shook her head," Iie, it's ok. After all, what you said are true anyway. But unluckily you guys lost to Kainan."

He agreed," yeah, we were about to win." Omanko face changed into anger and said," Well, it was all that red head guy whose name's Sakuragi's fault!! If it wasn't for him, you guys would won. Just because he didn't look properly and passed the ball to someone else."

Mitsui sighed," Yeah. Even though Sakuragi did a mistake but he does come in handy sometimes in a match. And besides, that guy he passed the ball to does look like Akagi anyway." Omanko said," But he's sure baka. Don't you think so? "Yeah."

***

On the other hand, at Sakuragi's home, he sneezed," Hmph! Wonder who's talking bad things about me?!

*Back to Mitsui~

Omanko asked," you are such a good basketball player, I assume you are the captain of the team?" Mitsui sighed again," Well, iie!" Omanko puzzled, asked," How come?" Mitsui told her about his past and his only love, Anzai sensei. Mitsui didn't know why he told everything to this little girl who he doesn't even know but he just want to tell someone.

Omanko was shocked to hear that her idol, Mitsui Hisashi likes men and not women. In fact an old and fat man. She blurted," Demo, all this time, I've been waiting impatiently to grow up to be a beautiful girl and meet you so in order you'll like me and we would be together."

She felt horrified that she blurted out and she felt so embarrassed. She looked down and was anxious to know his reaction. Mitsui was shocked and then recovered. He smiled and patted her head," Well, you're still young and anyway even if I like females, when you grew up I would already be too old for you and you wouldn't like me anymore."

Omanko shook her head," Iie, I won't." Mitsui raised his eyebrow," How come you're so sure? Demo, by the time I would have white hair and wrinkles." Omanko said," I won't mind." But Mitsui knows that when the time comes Omanko would not like him anymore.

"Even so, I'm sure you'll like someone else the same age as you when you grow up who's better match for you."

Omanko finally gave in. "But I think you shouldn't like males. It's not normal. You should like females.' Mitsui smiled," You sure seem to know a lot of stuffs." Omanko blushed," That's because okasan teaches me a lot of stuffs." "Maybe you're right. I guess I just can't go on like this." Omanko said," Of course I'm right. And besides he won't like you anyway. Because he likes women not men if not he wouldn't marry to a woman. Don't you think so?" "I guess." "So, you should forget him."

Mitsui smiled," Hai, you are right. I'll try my best to stop my love and begin to like females." Omanko said," That's the spirit."

Then there was someone's voice calling for Omanko. Omanko turned and smiled when she saw her mother. Her mother was quite pretty and Mitsui said softly," Your mother's sure pretty." Omanko smiled," See? You do like females. You just like your sensei so much but you misunderstood your own feelings and think that was love." "Yeah, I guess."

Then Omanko's mother ran to her and hugged her. "Oh, Omanko I was so worried about you. I was even thinking of reporting to the police but luckily I didn't if not they will scold me for making a false alarm." Omanko apologized," Okasan, gomen nasai for walking away without telling you."

Omanko's mother patted her head," Wakata, Omanko. But do promise you won't do it again, ok?" Omanko smiled at her mother," I promise!!" Mitsui who didn't want to interrupt the mother-daughter scene was about to leave when Omanko's mother turned to look at Mitsui and asked Omanko," Who's this guy?"

Omanko smiled," He's Mitsui Hisashi, okasan." Omanko's mother looked closely at his face. Mitsui blushed. Omanko's mother turned bright red and looked like as if she would explode when Mitsui offered her his hand to shake.

But then Omanko's mother recovered and was so excited to meet him that she shook his hand vigorously. ::Teardrop on Mitsui's head:: But Mitsui's hand started to hurt and he quickly took his hand away.

Omanko's mother bowed," It's really a pleasure to meet you. My daughter and I are really a fan of yours. Can we take a picture with you? I have a camera with me." Mitsui smiled politely," Sure. But who's gonna take the picture?" Then Omanko's mother saw a young man and asked him to take the picture of them.

After taking a lot of pictures, Omanko's mother realize that it was quite late and said," Well, I guess we should get going. Well, arigatoo for taking the picture with us. We really appreciate it."

But before they left, Mitsui bend down and kissed Omanko's forehead and whispered in her ear," This is to thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. I'm lucky to meet you. Oh and please don't tell anyone about what I said to you just now, ok?"

Omanko blushed and said," I promise I won't." Mitsui smiled," Arigatoo." Omanko's mother said," Well, we gotta go. Thanks for sparing time with us, Mitsui-san. And also thank you for taking care of my daughter."

They started walking away and Mitsui waved and shouted," Sayonara!!" Omanko turned and smiled," Sayonara!"

Mitsui smiled Glad to meet her. Arigatoo Omanko!! Mitsui stood there watching them walking away. Omanko was saying something to her mother and ran back to Mitsui. Mitsui surprised bent down and asked," Nani?" Omanko asked," Mitsui-san, can you please write your address on this paper?"

She took out a piece of paper and pen from her pocket and gave it to Mitsui. Mitsui smiled," Sodesune!" When he finished writing his address and was going to give it to Omanko, Omanko said," Can you write down your telephone number?" Mitsui asked," Before I write down my telephone number, can I ask you why do you want my address and phone number?"

Omanko smiled," Well, so I can come and visit you and call you sometimes!!" Mitsui smiled," Well, why don't you write down yours later for me?" Omanko smiled," Sure." Mitsui quickly wrote down his phone number and gave it to Omanko. Omanko took a fresh new paper from her pocket and wrote down her address and phone number and gave it to Mitsui. Omanko smiled," Sayonara, Mitsui-san."

Mitsui smiled," Sayonara, Omanko." Omanko went back to her mother and they walked away. Mitsui started to walk home.

An advice should be taken even if it's from a person younger or older as long as it's good. Advice might be hard to be taken but try to accept the advice as a good advice is useful.
