of the characters belong to me, etc...
Only the weird-sounding college name belongs to me. And the original characters
who may or may not appear later...
Clad in the white
and dark blue of his college uniform, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked no different
from the many other college students of Shikitsu college. Except for his flaming
red, cropped hair and his extraordinary height. He had grown 7 cm since his
freshman year at Shohoku High School 2 years ago, and became the new center
of the team after Akagi, Mitsui and Kogure left for college.
"Do'aho. Why are you staring into empty space?" a familiar voice,
along with its tall owner appeared.
"Stop calling me do'aho, you kitsune! I just thought I heard Akagi's voice..."
Hanamichi retorted.
"Really? Are you sure you didn't hear wrongly, you do'aho?"
"Really! Do you want me to headbutt you before you'll believe what I say?
I'm going to the gym to check it out. Are you coming along?" Hanamichi
replied excitedly, jumping up and down like an over-active kangaroo.
Without answering, Rukawa just strode to the doors of the gym, leaving a very
agitated Hanamichi to sprint to the doors.
Despite the strong rivalry between the two basketball players, they had slowly
became the best of friends, although they STILL looked like enemies (and sometimes
treated each other like one).
Hanamichi excitedly pushed open the gym doors, and the noisy bouncing of basketballs
in the gym became a hushed silence.
"Who's that disturbing the basketball training!?" a voice Hanamichi
and Rukawa could would never fail to recognise.
"Gori! It's us you idiot!" Hanamichi shouted and slapped Akagi on
his rear.
"What the... Why are you both here?"
"What's so surprising about that? We both did pretty well for the exams,
you know."
"I recall that how you, Rukawa, Miyagi and Mitsui failed your exams so
badly you had to retake them... And not forgetting the study session at my house...
When YOU drew on my face with a black marker!!!" Akagi thundered, giving
Hanamichi a hard but friendly knock on his head.
Laughter from behind Akagi was heard, and Hanamichi found it somewhat familiar...
"Ryochin! Mitchy! You both are here too!? Why EVERYONE is here?"
"No... Not everyone. Kogure isn't here. He got a scholarship to one of
the best colleges. Wonder if he's still playing basketball..." Akagi corrected
Hanamichi.
"Wow! I didn't know Glasses-man was so smart!" Hanamichi excitedly
babbled on. Suddenly an idea came to Hanamichi *lightbulb please*...
"Why don't we have a game? The kitsune and me versus Ryochin and Mitchy.
We can see if you have improved... Or if I'm better than you both know... After
all, I'm the tensai! Hahahahahahaha!!!"
*Everyone except Rukawa sweatdrops*
"Still the same old Hanamichi eh? Fine! A game it shall be! Get dressed
and we'll start!" Miyagi declared.
Well? What did you think of it? Give me a review! And tell me if I got anything wrong. Or did anything really well. =)) And I need more ideas... Especially for names... The only ones I can think of are from Hikaru No Go (a manga about weiqi/go)...
