*~ Tensai Blues ~*

"Ryota! Pass the ball! The Tensai will now show his power!! " Sukuragi shouted confidently….

Ryota looked at him for a moment and quickly passed the ball in a swift motion….aiming higher into the air…. trusting that Sakuragi would definitely be able to catch it with his ever popular jumping ability…

Knowing Ryota's intentions, Sakuragi jumped up with his usual tension….aiming for the ball which was just about to reach where he was…

"I'm gonna catch it now! Then I'll be able to at least capture some attention^^! And….I'll also be able to show Haruko-chan….." …..Sakuragi mind suddenly was filled with Haruko's faces….blushing slightly….he no longer was aware of the ball that was coming….right in front of him…..directly………into his face!!

The pressure of the ball released by Ryota created an awfully hard bang on Sakuragi's face and Sakuragi fell to the ground with a loud "thumph!"…..Sakuragi blacked out….



The crowd suddenly went silent……all shocked by what that had just happened….

"Sakuragi!" cried the team members of Shohoku ,(except Rukawa of coz^^)

"Sakuragi! Are ya hurt?!" Ryota dashed forward just to see Sakuragi, lying on the ground….totally blacked out…..

"Has he……fainted?" Mitsui asked worriedly……

"That Baka! What was he thinking! During tournaments like this,he shouldn't be thinking of other things other than aiming for the ball! Now we lack of one player!That Baka!" Akagi shouted angrily ….



"Sa….Sakuragi……." ….Kongure was slowly getting worried and anxious too.



Sukuragi was lifted and brought to rest in the sick bay….



/Now that Sakuragi was not in the team…..that meant that….there would be one less player…..one less….important player….which was responsible for getting the rebounds…..for defending the opponents under the net…….now that he's gone….it would be another disadvantage…../Akagi thought in his mind sadly….

/No……that's not right….even without a player like him….we shouldn't give up! That's the only way to topped the whole of Japan! And Im not letting this chance slip!/

"OK! Even without that baka, we should continue this game! I'll now take charge for the rebounds from now on….till that baka comes back! Come on!Shohoku WIN!"

Saying that,the shohuku team continued the tournament…..and in their hearts….they had this message in mind……they should never give up….until it all ends….the moment they gave up,this game would already be over…..

****Meanwhile…in the sick bay****

"Pass……pass the ball…..pass….." Sakuragi was thinking of the game even when he was resting in bed….

It was obviously that Sukuragi was…..in a dream….where he was actually at a tournament…..with an unknown team……

H e was playing just fine ,doing all his jumping for catching balls, rebounds and all that….

He was also defending ……trying hard to prevent his opponents to get the ball….

Then…..the weirdest thing suddenly happened……

Everything around him suddenly blacked out…..the whole place suddenly became dark and there were no longer anyone in sight….

"Whe….where am I?….."

"How…..how did I get here??…"

"Oh….you mean ya don't know where you are?"

"Huh?!Who the hell are you?Where are you? May I know who I am talking to?Hello??!

Whoever you are,I advice you to stop teasing the tensai understand?Or you'll be sorry…."Sakuragi shouted out really loud…..but there was no longer any reply…..

"Just where is this place?!"
