Disclaimers: Slam Dunk isn't mine, I'm just borrowing the characters so please do NOT sue me! Prologue: "Shohoku High and The Evil Fox" The wind blew softly on the raven black hair of Yuri Mikazuki's as the chillness of the breeze made her cheeks turn a shade of pink. Her eyes were tremendously a light shade of brown. She looked around, her hair following the movements of her head. Sakura slowly fell with every interval of her steps, not that she cared about it or anything. She would have loved to stop and stare at the beautiful scenery but she couldn't bring herself. It was her first day in Shohoku High, apparently her new school. She was extremely nervous and yet excited . ironically. Walking briskly down the hall, she looked at classrooms and passersby. She squeezed her backpack uncomfortably and let her lunchbox swing idly beside her. Finally, she stopped and stole a quick look around before she sighed and stared at the wooden plates near the door that indicated what the classrooms held. Her heart thumped in panic. She was lost and the corridors stretched endlessly on either side. Strangers strode pass her. Unaware, she had been muttering her thoughts in small whispers. "What was my classroom again?" She took hold of a crumpled piece of paper subconsciously and began to unfold it. "Class 1-10 ." It read. She idly looked at the door plate . 1-10. She took a deep breath and sighed. "Anything goes ." She smiled at that and entered her classroom. She set her bag down at one of the back seats and started to unpack her things. "I shouldn't be nervous, besides . I suppose everyone here is new to this school too." She sat down her seat and grabbed one of her pocket books. She loved reading and reading had always calmed her or just kept her company at most. She sighed inwardly and started reading. She smiled as she came to an interesting part but frowned when she had noticed that she couldn't read anything because of the shadow looming in front of her. She looked up and saw a dark-haired, really tall guy in front of her. "That's my seat." He said in a monotonous voice. "Nani?" Yuri answered, almost to calmly. "Baka, How can this be your seat; it's only the first day of school?" "Because I said so ." He still said coolly. "I was first!" Yuri growled making a fist. "..." Silence He stood there glaring at her as he took the seat next to her, sat and started sleeping. Yuri sweatdropped and sat . "weird . is everyone in school like ... him?" She tried desperately to grasp every word the sensei was saying, but how could she? She glared at the snoring figure beside her, the one who tried to make her go out of her seat. "Rukawa Kaede!" The teacher shouted as he walked towards the sleeping figure. "So that was his name ." She thought. She smiled inwardly at the thought that this guy would be punished. "Rukawa Kaede! Wake up!" The sensei rolled up a piece of paper and banged it on Rukawa's table, a few inches from his head. Slowly, his head went up. "Nani? Can't you see I'm sleeping?" "Yes, I can perfectly see that! Now pay attention!" "I don't want to ..." "Kaede, I demand you to go outside of the classroom." "... no" He yawned and presumed sleeping. Everyone stopped talking and watched with wide-eyed amusement at the ongoing event. Some watched with awe at "the-student-who-dared-defy-their-sensei". The teacher muttered and went back to his table, giving up at the battle with the sneaky kitsune.
A few weeks later ... "Rukawa Kaede ." The teacher muttered. He approached Rukawa's table, making a fist. "Nani ." He looked up; his hair was messy and his eyes were drooping. "I'm sleeping ." He yawned and stared at the sensei with disinterest. "I have heard of your . inadequate and sluggish way of participating in class. Please step out of the classroom this instant!" "I don't want ." He yawned again and slowly resumed sleeping. "RUKAWA KAEDE!!!" Rukawa looked up, stood, glared and ... kicked the sensei. Yuri gaped as she stood up and shouted with disapproval, "Hey baka! That's our sensei you just kicked." "I don't care ... I wanted to sleep." He said coolly and glared. Everyone in the classroom stared, by that time ... they new this was coming. The student-who-defied-the-teachers and she-who-defied-the-student-that- defied-the-teachers. Yuri glared once again, banging her fist on his table. Rukawa looked at her lazily. "..." "..." "Who cares ..." He finally said. He sat down, looked up at her ... and slept. Yuri twitched, made a fist and boxed Rukawa. "NANI?!" Rukawa looked up. " ... Bakayaro."
