[Sequel] Chapter ONE: After six years, then three years of dreams and love….
-
Six years had passed after Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were mere freshmen of Shohoku senior high, when Miyagi Ryota and Mitsui Hisashi came back after resting in the hospital, when Akagi finally had his dream of the inter high tournament with a grand and great team. After those six years of Senior high and college, the National team recruited them and there they experienced new life and challenges. There they met new friends. Some had to leave, but some stayed by their side for the rest of their lives. Though it may sound as shocking as it can be, they've won the championship during their debut as a National team, considering the fact that they've rested for nearly three years regarding basketball. Because of that, they've become famous and their hard work was well known, and they've lived their dreams of bringing pride and a name to their country.
Ayako and Ryota finally ended the long waiting of their teammates and friends. They were married right after the games, March 13, Thursday, 5:00 pm. Ryota's best man was Sakuragi (^^) and Ayako's maid of honor was Haruko.
Speaking of Haruko, a week after Ryota and Ayako got married, she and Youhei, too, under God's presence, vowed to live under one roof, for richer and for poorer, till death do them apart. (^^) They were married on March 21, Friday, 4:00 pm, Her maid of honor was Fujii, while Youhei's best man was…no need to tell…but obviously, it was Sakuragi (AGAIN?!). Sakuragi and Midori, a year after these marriages, did the same during March 31. Normally, his best man was Youhei, and Midori's maid of honor was one of her closest friends in the volleyball team.
On the other hand, Sendoh and Rukawa moved in a separate house built for Sendoh's future by his late dad. This means one thing-- they're married. (Honto?!) They even flew to Europe to do so, since it's legal there to marry the same sex. (We're not sure, so for those who know, if ever we're wrong or not…we wanna apologize…) They were married on May 7, Wednesday, 4;00 pm. Surprisingly, their mothers approved this marriage within SECONDS without even hesitating or showing signs of disapproval. Even their teammates didn't have any violent reactions.
Mitsui and Kogure did the same, except that they were married on April 30, Wednesday, 5:00 pm. They, too, were surprised that no one had any violent reactions. Actually, it was their friends and Families who cheered for them to go on. Mitsui and Kogure lived in a house that was the fruit of their hard work in the national team.
Akagi found a wife, namely Tokinishi Oki. But then, Oki died in an accident, leaving Akagi a son to take care with.

" I say NO."
" I say YES."
" No."
" Yes,"
Rukawa plopped himself on the soft velvet blue sofa as Sendoh sat beside him, eyes begging for approval.
" Okay, Kae-chan. What's the purpose of your disapproval?" Sendoh asked Rukawa with his usual pleading voice, eyes not leaving the deep-sea blue orbs of Rukawa.
" I don't want to adopt a child. All I wanted was a peaceful life with you, and I don't want a child ruining that. I mean…you know what I mean."
Sendoh sighed heavily. " But I want to. It'll be boring if it's just the two of us."
" Does that mean I'm boring to be with?"
" That's not what I meant!!!"
" …"
" Okay, I'll do everything, just please grant me this? This would be my first and last wish from you, Kae-chan…"
Rukawa stared at Sendoh for a moment, and then stood from the couch, leaving a very hopeful Sendoh sitting in it.
" Okay, for heaven's sake. How the hell could I stop you if you would just plead that way?" Sendoh nearly jumped in joy from the couch.
" But I have two conditions."
Sendoh nodded happily.
" First, you'd be the only one who'd be taking care of the child. I won't take part in taking care of the damn baby. Second, I don't want the child disturbing my sleep. If ever it does, you and the child would be out of the house for hours. Am I clear?"
Sendoh saluted jokingly to Rukawa, who raised a brow in return. " Hai, Taicho!!!!"
" RYOTA!!!! Take care of Yukio for a while, would you? I'm cooking lunch!!!" Ayako exclaimed at Ryota, who just entered the living room after the practice given by Akagi.
" Hon Aya-chan, I just came in from the intense practice!!!! I'm soo tired!!!!" Ryota replied, sinking half of his body to the chair.
" If you won't take care of Yukio, you won't have lunch!" Came Ayako's reply.
" Sheesh!" Ryota had no choice. He went upstairs to their room and carefully picked his six-month-old son from the bed. Yukio, as they have named the little baby, stirred and opened his eyes and began to cry softly. With his free left hand, Ryota prepared the child's milk. He fed it to the baby who fell hushed for a while.
As he was staring at his own son, he could clearly see his features. Little dark chestnut brown hair, cute little nose, and eyes that were medium sized. As he was walking the baby around the room while feeding it, he stopped in front of the mirror. He stared for his reflection for a while. I look a lot like a real father now. He said to himself as he smiled, shifting his gaze to Baby Yukio on his hands.
Baby Yukio cried once more, and all that Ryota could do was panic a bit. He tried to hush his son by swaying him gently, but it was no use. Even the bottle was no use. He then though that maybe it's the diapers, so he left Yukio on the bed for a while to grab some new ones from the cabinet. He succeeded in changing his son's diapers after a few moments and then the baby drifted into sleep once more.
" How long have I been used to this?" He asked himself. He then remembered the first time he was left all alone with Yukio, and he was crying so loud and Ryota didn't know what to do. He remembered that he screamed, " LOOKS LIKE I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE CRYING!!!" at that time since he's just a new father then. How time passes…how fast he's been used to fatherly works.
****
Youhei rang the doorbell of the huge Mansion for the 3rd time before taking a step backwards to be side-by-side with Haruko and their three-month old child, Umeko. They were there to meet the newly two month wedded couple, Sakuragi and Midori.
" Hanamichi's lucky to marry a rich girl like Midori, ne?" Youhei said, eyeing the house with eyes as wide as saucers.
" I was really surprised to know that their house is this big." Haruko remarked. " By the way, Youhei, what happened to Takamiya-kun-tachi?"
" Those three? They've found a job at Uozumi's restaurant that he inherited from his dad. They're delivery boys now." Youhei giggled lightly. " They're doing a pretty good job now."
Haruko giggled along. " That's good to hear."
Just then, a maid, around her early twenties, finally opened the door. Noticing who the visitors were, she bowed slightly and humbly as she opened the gates widely, revealing the big mansion inside and the different, colorful, and beautiful flowers, embedded in the green lawn surrounding it.
" Ah, we were waiting for the both of you. Please come in."
" Doumo." The two replied as they stepped onto the grounds inside the beige colored gates.
As they have reached the living room, they awed at the beautiful designs and matching colors, the high-class furniture and all of the gorgeous things inside it. Midori was surely one in a million since she's a million dollar girl that's rare to find and hard to get unless you're at the same level as she is. Youhei: Dakara Hanamichi wa Lucky yo!!!!! (That's why Hanamichi's lucky!!!)
" Youhei!!!!" Sakuragi exclaimed as he appeared in their sight, his usual wide smile plastered on his face. " Long time no see, buddy!!!" He added as he hugged his ol' pal.
" Yo, Hanamichi! You lucky bastard!!!" Youhei replied as he hugged him back.
" Ah! Good that you were able to come, Youhei-kun, Haruko-chan!" Midori exclaimed as she ran over to Haruko and gave her a friendly hug, careful enough not to squish baby Umeko in between.
" Haruko-san, you're still pretty as usual!" Sakuragi remarked as he released his grip from Youhei.
" Hey, hey! You already have your wife!!!" Youhei exclaimed.
" I was just praising your wife, you overprotective guy!!!' Sakuragi replied. After that, both of them laughed.
" Ne, ne…You're baby's really cute!!!" Midori said as she shook her hands with Umeko's little ones. " Kawaii!!!!!"
" How are you guys doing these past two months?" Youhei asked as Sakuragi motioned all of them to sit down the couch, which they gladly did.
" We're just fine. How about you and Haruko-san?" Sakuragi asked.
" Like you guys, we're fine." Youhei replied.
" Uhm…Hanamichi-san, someone's here to see you." a maid said, entering the scene.
" Who are they?" Sakuragi asked.
" Yo, Sakuragi!!!" Mitsui greeted, flashing his usual I'm-the-man smile, raising his hand gleefully in the air.
" Konnichiwa." Kogure added, bowing politely.
" A-re? Mitsui-san? Kogure-san?" Haruko said, looking at them with eyes as wide as saucers.
" They're here because they've been to Osaka, and since the place were they went was near my cousin's place, I asked them to get me something." Sakuragi explained.
" Here." Mitsui threw Sakuragi a small package wrapped in a brown cover with stamps all over it.
" I was surprised to see that you're now living in a big house, Sakuragi." Kogure remarked.
" Well…"
" Ah! That must be Umeko-chan!!!" Mitsui went near Haruko to take a closer look at the baby. " Hmm…she looks like a crossover between the both of you."
" I think she's really cute." Kogure said, walking towards Mitsui's side to also take a look at Umeko. " May I carry her?" Haruko nodded as she carefully transferred Umeko to Kogure's arms.
" Oh, by the way, what happened to Gori?" Sakuragi asked as he placed the package aside.
" Onii-chan's doing fine with Ronin-kun." Haruko replied.
" I can still remember how he looked when Oki died." Mitsui said.
" No one would forget that. It was too sad for him." Youhei said, remembering the sad funeral where Akagi cried a lot while he had his son in his arms.
" By the way, have you heard that Rukawa and Sendoh are going to adopt a child?" Kogure, after kissing Umeko's irresistibly smooth and soft forehead, asked.
" We heard that." Youhei said.
" So did we." Midori replied.
" I think that's good for them." Sakuragi said.
" I heard that Ryota and Ayako are doing fine too." Haruko added.
" I saw them last week since we visited them." Kogure said. " If only you guys could see how he takes care of Yukio-chan, you'd be surprised."
" The old cheeky guy is now a real father figure." Mitsui said with a laugh.
***
So, a week had passed and Sendoh finally got his wish to come true. They adopted a five-month-old child, which they named Yumi. They named her Yumi, which means "beauty" since when they first saw her she resembled the both of them so much, and she looked like a one-in-a-million angel on earth. She had soft, pearl black hair and white, velvety skin. She had deep cobalt orbs that looked a lot like Rukawa and Sendoh's. So, since it was Sendoh's decision to adopt, Yumi got his surname. So that makes…. SENDOH YUMI as the new member of the family.
" Um…Kae-chan? Can I have Yumi? You've been with her for the past week now." Sendoh said as he attempted to get the little beauty from Rukawa's hands. But then, Rukawa kindly turned down Sendoh's attempt.
" Kae-chan!!!!" Rukawa turned his back against the other man who smiled secretly. Sendoh crossed his arms over his chest as his smile grew wider.
" So even you can't resist her, ne?" Sendoh sighed. " I thought that you'd never be a part of taking care of the baby?"
" That was a long time ago and I can't remember." Rukawa replied as he tightened his grip on Yumi, his cheeks flushing in embarrassment.
" Yare yare." Was all that the spiky haired Sendoh Akira the great could say.
Anyway, after three giddy giddy years….
" Yoshi! That'll do!!!" Mitsui exclaimed after taking a picture of him and Kogure on his 3650. " And now, we'll just send this to…who do you think should I send this first?"
" Uhm…Sakuragi, I suppose." Kogure replied. Mitsui, following his koi's (^^) answer, sent it to the red head's 7650.
" I sure hope the party would be full of fun." Kogure said, smiling.
***
" Hey, I just got a message…" Sakuragi took out his 7650 ( Yo, Sakuragi!!! You're really rich now!!! I'll take Midori away!!!^^) from his collection of four cell phones with different purposes. ( Nani?! FOUR?!)
" O…kay, there's a picture of the two here…" Sakuragi: *Sweatdrop upon seeing Mitsui nearly filling the whole space of the screen and Kogure at the small corner. He then read the text below:
" Yo, Sakuragi! We'll have our anniv today!!! For short, there's a party at 2!!!! Care to join?"
Sakuragi smiled as he replied "Yes."
" Midori!!! Michii invites us to a party later at 2!!!!"
" That's great!!!" Midori replied, carrying her one-year-old daughter named Akina with her.
" Now, I'll forward this to Gori…."
**
" Dad, you got a message!!!!" Three-year-old Ronin exclaimed, running towards his dad, carrying with him his dad's 3530. Akagi took his cell phone and said his thanks to his son, then read the text written on it.
" So there'll be a party. What do you think, Ronin?" Ronin nodded excitedly.
" I wanna go!!! I'll be seeing Yumi-chan, Yukio-kun, my cousin Umeko-chan, and baby Akina-chan!!!!"
Akagi laughed as he forwarded the message to Sendoh's 3650.
***
" Wah! A party!" Yumi exclaimed, running around the house excitedly. She bumped onto the freshly awakened Rukawa, who was rubbing his eyes.
" Ah!!! Ohayo, daddy!!!!" Yumi greeted her "daddy" as she was motioning him to carry her. Rukawa grumbled a bit as he slowly lifted her.
" What's all the fuss about?" Rukawa asked.
" Papa said that there'd be a Party at Uncle Hisashi's house!!!!" Yumi answered Rukawa's question after planting a soft good morning kiss on her daddy's cheek.
" If ever Hisashi would hear you, he'd be mad. He hates being called 'Uncle'. You know that he wants to be called 'onii-chan'. " Sendoh stated, smiling.
" Okay! Hisashi onii-chan!!!!"
" What, are we going?" Sendoh asked Rukawa, who lowered Yumi down on the floor.
" Daddy!!!"
" Whatever you like." Came his reply. Yumi started to run around the house again while Sendoh picked up the phone to call Youhei.
Ring! Ring!
" Hello?"
" Ah, Youhei. It's me, Akira."
" Akira! Why'd you call?"
" Well, there's a party at Hisashi's house. You know, today's the anniversary of the two of them."
" Kiminobu, right? Ah, wait for a while. Let's three-way Ryota-san." *dial dial* ring! ring!
" Hello? Miyagi residence. Ayako speaking. Who's this?"
" Ayako-san. It's us, Youhei and Akira."
" Youhei! Akira-san! Hello!"
" Hello!"
" Why did you call? * voices of Ryota and Yukio overhearing on the phone*"
" There's a party at Hisashi's house. They'll be celebrating their anniversary."
" Ah! That's nice!!!"
"
Could you guys come?"
" Sure!!! What time is it?"
" It's at two o'clock."
" Okay! We'll be going! Ja!!"
" Ja!!!"
***
So, minutes later, every family were on their way to Mitsui and Kogure's house. Sakuragi went there by car, since their house was a bit too far from Mitsui's. Ryota and Ayako went by foot, so did Sendoh and Rukawa, Youhei and Haruko; since their houses was near Mitsui's ( Even though they had a car.). Akagi went by motorcycle.
" Papa, carry me…" Yumi tugged Sendoh's pants lightly. (She wasn't holding their hands. She was in between the two gorgeous guys and she was holding their pants at the side, since Rukawa and Sendoh are six footers and she was just a three year old kid ^^) Sendoh smiled as he stopped on his tracks to carry his 'daughter' on his shoulders.
" How's that?" Sendoh asked, his smile still on his face. Yumi smiled back widely.
" Hey, we'll be late. Start moving." Rukawa ordered. He was 7 foot away from the two, probably because he didn't noticed that Sendoh stopped on his tracks.
" Hai, Daddy!!" Yumi exclaimed.
" Ne, Kae-chan…" Sendoh said as he caught up with Rukawa, who ignored him a bit. " You're jealous again, are you?"
Rukawa faced the other direction to hide his crimson cheeks.
" Daddy's jealous again? Isn't this the hundredth time he grew jealous because you carried me on your shoulders, papa?" Yumi said, leaning over to the spikes on Sendoh's hair.
" I don't want daddy to be jealous." Yumi added that made the two stop on their tracks once more since she sounded serious.
" Papa, I don't want Daddy to be jealous. Please put me down and carry Daddy instead of me…"
Rukawa was shocked, but then his shocked expression turned into a smile. He went over Yumi and patted her back.
" You and your Papa sounds the same when emoting," He said as his smile widened. " No, it's alright. I'm not jealous anymore."
" Yukio, you dimwit!!! Get the hell out of Aya-chan's back!!!!!" Ryota cried out for the umpteenth time this day while they were on the streets. Actually, it was a slightly crowded street and people were looking at them. *sweatdrop*
" Hey, isn't that Ryota Miyagi from the National Basketball team?"
" He's fighting with his son over his wife."
Yukio stuck out his tongue as he hid behind Ayako, who can't help but sigh. " My mommy's mine!!!"
" Why you little brat!!!" Ryota attempted to smack Yukio's head, but what stopped him was Ayako's fan.
" That's enough of the both of you!! We'll be late!!!" She exclaimed.
" Damn you, kid…" Ryota murmured as he held his *injured* nose while Yukio tightened his grip on Ayako's pants.
" My mommy loves me more than you, that's why she gave me her hat!!! " He said, sticking out his tongue again as they started to move.
" Why you little---"
" Oops! Didn't I warn you guys to quit it?!?!" Ayako reminded, looking very stern.
" Hai…"
" A-re? Haruko-chan! Youhei-kun!!!" Ayako ran over to the couple that was walking in front of them.
" Ayako-san! Ryota-san!!! Konnichiwa!!!" Haruko greeted, halting.
" We're also on our way to Hisashi-san's house." Youhei said.
" Yukio-kun!" Umeko greeted, appearing behind Haruko.
" Ah, Umeko-chan!!!" Yukio exclaimed.
" Hey, since we're going on the same place, why don't we go there together?" Ryota suggested. He was happy because at last, Yukio left Ayako's pants.
" That's a great…Ah! Isn't that..?"
" Haruko! Youhei! Ayako! Ryota!!!" Sendoh called out, running to them *even if he had Yumi on his shoulders^^*. Rukawa followed.
" Akira! Kaede!!!" The four exclaimed.
" Yumi-chan!!!" Yukio and Umeko said in unison. Sendoh lowered Yumi on the ground to be reunited with her friends.
" We just met each other on the way." Haruko explained.
" Good! The more the better!!! Let's go together, guys!!!" Ayako said. Everyone nodded as they continued to walk towards Mitsui and Kogure's, their children in-between them.
In some place, an eighteen-year-old woman stood with her heart full of grudge and urge to revenge.
" You guys would pay…." She whispered under her breath before laughing a soft, evil laugh.
