A/N #1: This prose was inspired when I was watching the
episode where Shohoku VS Shoyo-Ryonan and Rukawa tells Sendoh that he (Sendoh)
will be in his (Rukawa) shadow soon. It's a really nice episode IMO! T_T And the
part where three people (Um, Sendoh, Hanagata and Fujima, I think) tried to stop
Rukawa from scoring, but instead, Rukawa dunked! ^____^
A/N #2: Oh yeah, please don't be harsh, this is my actual first attempt in
something poetic, and I wrote it during my Additional Mathematics exams ^^;
Determined Gaze
I stare through your soul
My eyes filled with flames of determination
It now has been proven
I am no longer in your shadow
My mind is already set
The mission has now been accomplished
Even another obstacle is laid
I won't give up, I never will
As I play on court
There is only one thing in mind
To be the best player
Is what I strive and even live for
Nothing stands in my way
No matter if you're strong or fast
I will still defeat you
Remember my name, it is Rukawa Kaede

A/N #3: Kind of unorganized, huh? What can you expect from someone who slaved for 2 hours and thirty minutes doing extremely tough calculations o.0; Anyway, please read and review ^^;
