Phew, I finally made it to chapter 3. Oh yeah, I forget to mention it earlier.. Slam Dunk is owned by Takehiko Inoue (Even, my lovely Mitchy! He also belong to Takehiko-san!) and Rumor Has It is definitely a film by Warner Bros and directed by Rob Reiner! I don't own those two films!

CHAPTER 3: RUMOR HAS IT

"Do you hear the latest gossip?"

"No, what is it?"

"You know Akagi from class 1?"

"Yeah, I know her! What's up with her?"

"She's dating Mitsui-senpai from grade 3!"

"Out of the world!! They're going out now? They never seen close before!"

"That's also confused me, but some people say see them, walked home together after the basketball team practice yesterday!"

"That's shame. I think Mitsui-senpai is kinda cute. Ugh, he's not single anymore now."

"Well, that's still rumor. What about you ask the girl herself? There she comes!"

Both of the freshmen girl shut their mouth, cause the object of their gossip has come. Haruko is on her way to go home. Just a few meters behind her, there's Mitsui. Seem to realize there's her senpai behind, Haruko slowed her walk to chat with Mitsui. That made the two girls from the cooking club even more sure about the rumor.

"Oh, so the rumor is true. You better give up."

"Oh, well.. I don't really that in to him, anyway."

That's just the cooking club gossip. What about the baseball team? The boys don't give up in gossip too. Especially, after they just saw 'The Rumor Couple' just pass by.

"Hey, that's Akagi-san and his boyfriend, Mitsui-senpai."

"Huh, so they're really going together?"

"Dunno, though it just a rumor. But we get evidence here. The rumor can't possibly go wrong."

"Poor, Youji! He has been put his eyes on Akagi-san since the first day of school!"

"Youji don't stand a chance against Mitsui-senpai! Akagi's world is just around basketball. She just accepted as the assistant manager of the basketball team, doesn't she?"

"Yeah, whatever. Go back concentrate on the game! We also have our own winter tournament, you know!!"

"Haiii!!"

Those gossipers just don't really know the truth. 'The Rumor Couple' don't talk anything special, they just talk about their power forward, Sakuragi Hanamichi—who almost recovered his back ache and almost ready for the winter tournament one month again.

"So, senpai, I planning to visit Sakuragi-kun with Yohei-kun and others this weekend. Do you want to join us?"

"Hmm, maybe I will join you guys. I kinda miss that redhead clown!"

"He would be really happy to be visited by you!"

"Do you think so?" Both of them laugh.

In other hand, the rumor has also reached Hanamichi's gundan ears. When they all in their favorite restaurant—Danny's, they discuss about it...

"They're really together now?" ask Takamiya.

"It seems so. Poor Hanamichi," say Noma.

"Whatever it is. Don't let Hanamichi know this rumor! You get that?" Yohei said that not just without reason. If Hanamichi has broken heart again and the reason is one of the basketball team member. That's not possible for Shohoku's team collapsed!

Meanwhile they eat and discuss at Danny's. A girl pass by and entered Danny's.

"Minna!" Haruko walk toward Hanaimchi's gundan. "Mitsui-senpai said he want to join us to visit Sakuragi-kun. It's that okay?"

Hanamichi's gundan look really shock. Oh, ow. This is the sign of the bad storm!

Takamiya look really frightened. "I can hear the dark clouds is start to come over here..."

"No, you idiot! It's your stomach again!"

"What?! Again?! Don't you think is enough to eat two plates of spaghetti?!"
