Disclaimer: is it possible for you to read the other disclaimers in other
stories? Ok! I don't own slam dunk! I don't even own any of the books, vcds
etc! Haha! I am not allowed to read comics you see. My mum wouldn't agree
to buy the vcds either. But I watch slam dunk on TV and sometimes borrow
the comics. Haha! Tsk tsk! Let's get to the story...
I am Riko Mitsui. Of course, you don't know me. Perhaps you know my brother then. There is it. The twinkle of recognition in your eye. Now you look at me with different eyes. I know you are dying to ask some questions. Do I play basketball? Do I fail my grades miserably? Do I look good? So you can answer the last question yourself since you are looking at me. The answer to all are NO. I am but a plain little freak of nature. I will never belong to the Guinness book of records unless it is for the "most average girl" or even "only person who has mastered invisibility". I meant that figuratively of course. If I really could become invisible, I wouldn't be average would I?
Now, how can a boy who is outrageously good in basketball, has outstandingly horrible grades and looks to die for have such a plain Jane for a sister? Well, welcome to my family. Or what there is left of it. In case my brother did not tell you about this, and since no one would ever ask me, my parents are divorced. Nothing much in this modern world huh? But what if I tell you that we live with our mother and she died. Sounds cliché right? But it's true. My brother refused to move in with our father. Not that I want to either but you can probably relate more to him than to me.
Perhaps to those who are blind I am talking to, which is fairly possible since everyone who can see cannot see me thus are not bothering to actually HEAR me, you might want to know how I look. I didn't dye my hair blue like my brother, so obviously it is black. I keep my hair short although not exactly tidy. It especially loves poking my eyes. At least I have attention from something even if it is just my own hair. Let's get back to boring you out with my looks, or lack there of. My face is average looking. Let's see, I have a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth! Average eh? Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if I had 4 eyes, 8 noses and 13 mouths. I guess not. My face will be too full by then. I wouldn't know where to look, what to smell and use which mouth to use to talk and eat. Maybe talking is not a problem because I hardly talk anyway. Or should I put it this way, no one will hear me speak. Actually, I like my eyes. They aren't anything special but I like them anyway. Although this is totally irrelevant, I think they are the same eyes my brother has. And so did my mum.
I am getting bored with my looks especially since there is nothing much to say. If you want me to describe my brother, I can probably go on for hours. However, most of the information are on fan websites all over the world so I shall not waste my saliva. Not that saliva would be wasted as there seem to be unlimited saliva produced by the salivary glands. Besides, it's been a long time seems I said so much. But I still wouldn't talk about my brother since I will feel even lower than I feel now. Not much of a possibility there but it is not worth a shot.
I love my brother. I really do. It is just that sometimes, I just wish that he is normal. Fine. You get your way. He IS normal. But perhaps he should be MORE normal. Not making any sense am I? I am not jealous. Okay, maybe a little. FINE! A lot! Okay, Riko, relax. See what has become of me? A fool who has no one to talk to but herself. I really hate to feel this way. I know my brother loves me a lot. He has been taking care of me all these years. Maybe he didn't do too well but he tried. Yes. I know. He got into a gang and messed his life up. You don't have to remind me. At least he got back on track and even then he put me before himself! Actually, being in a gang is not that bad if you think about it. At least you can get attention. On second thoughts, people flee when they see you. I wonder which is worse, being invisible or being feared like a monster. I don't think I will ever find out. Maybe I should ask my brother how it feels like to have people fleeing from him and compare it with my experience. Nah... I am not THAT bored. Okay, I am. But I still wouldn't do it.
I bet you think I don't have friends, after what I have told you. Wrong. I do. Fine! My grammar sucks. I have a friend. I don't have friends. So that makes your right and me wrong huh? Big deal. Anyway, I have a friend. It's just that he doesn't talk. Another glimmer I see there in your eye. Funny. Why do I hang out with the popular people and yet I myself fade interestingly into the background. Never mind. I am used to it by now. Sort of.
Maybe I should take up basketball. Then I can be as popular as them. But Shohuku doesn't seem to have a girls' team. Sexist school. Actually, I guess they have a point there. It seems like all the girls here (except me) prefer cheering "Ru! Ka! Wa! I love you!" instead of actually playing. Sheesh. Maybe I should join the guys' team. No way. I'll be so extra. No. Actually, I wouldn't since I am invisible would I? But there is that idiot Haruko to take account for. She goes absolutely ga-ga over my only friend. I will probably end up laughing the whole day or puking the whole day. I am not interested in wasting a whole day's worth of food just for that experiment. Ayako is fine though. Actually, it would be quite interesting to see her hitting both my brother and Kaede as my brother had time to time described in disgust. Maybe I should go for a few trainings. No one will notice me anyway. If I can survive Haruko, maybe I can consider joining. If they will allow me anyway. Or rather, if they can actually see me AND allow me.
Okay! I've decided on it.
Haha! This is only an intro ok? Review please! I kinda like the character Riko. Poor girl! I can relate man! Nvm about that though!
Riko: Hey! Someone actually likes me! AMAZING! Fourteen: duh! I created you. Wait for the reviews and see if THEY like you. Riko: Sheesh! I wouldn't get my hopes too high then...
