NON-YAOI!!!!!!!! NON-YAOI!!!!!!!!!! NON-YAOI!!!!!!!!!!! It is NOT what you are thinking!!!!! Or is it?*

Chapter 3

About two months ago, Sakuragi Hanamichi and his little sister Sakura moved in with Rukawa Kaede. A month ago, both Sakuragi and Rukawa had agreed to go on a first name basis so that Sakura could learn to call them by their names. Two days ago, they had started to teach Sakura how to put a basketball into a hoop. Today was Sakura's birthday. And what a day it would be.

Today, the eleventh of June, was Sakuragi Sakura's first birthday and her older 'brothers' namely, by blood, Sakuragi Hanamichi and, by force (?), Rukawa Kaede, had planned a big bash for her at Rukawa's house.

They had invited, not only the whole basketball team, and their obvious supporters, but the Ryonan team as well. Why? It was all because of the practice match that they had had two weeks ago.

*Flash back to two weeks and a few days ago*

"I can't wait! Our match is tomorrow!" said an excited Sakuragi.

"Calm down Hana-chyan," said Rukawa, "We can handle them. No need to get so excited."

"But Kaede-kun, aren't you excited about seeing Sendoh again?" asked Sakuragi.

"No."

"Why not? After all you spend most of your time thinking about him and how to beat him!"

"I do NOT think about him!"

"Yes you do!"

"Do NOT!!!!" By the way, who's going to look after Sakura?"

"Eh?"

*Flash to day of the match*

"Sakura, you have to remember to stay close to Ayako okay?" said Rukawa. Sakura looked up and smiled at him.

"Hee." Rukawa shook his head; it was pointless to talk to her when she was this excited. Sakura giggled and laughed as Rukawa handed her to her next favorite person after him and Sakuragi, namely Kogure, and bent down to tie his shoe lace. Rukawa could hear her giggles as the group walked on without him.

"You have a cute sister, though I never knew you had one and she doesn't look like you at all, not with the sliver hair. But she does have your blue eyes though."

Looking up, Rukawa realized that it was Sendoh, the grass like headed point guard of Ryonan, who was talking to him.

"She isn't my sister. Not by blood anyway," replied Rukawa.

"You actually said more than one word in a single sentence Rukawa-kun. What a big improvement," noted Sendoh.

"…"

Sendoh laughed and said, "Nuh-uh. Now, now Rukawa-kun you were just improving." Sendoh smiled at the slightly puzzled Rukawa Kaede (Rukawa, puzzled [?]) and said, "Whose little sister is she then? She's really cute. And looks very cuddly too." Rukawa, caught off guard nodded and replied saying, "She's Hana…I mean the do'aho's sister, her name's Sakura. And she is cute and very cuddly."

"How do you know?"

"I sleep with her, in fact I live with her."

"Oh? That's means you live with Sakuragi-kun."

"…yes…" Sendoh raised an eyebrow and his smile got wider, "Since when?"

"About a month ago."

"Well done Rukawa-kun, I'd never thought you'd be able to get his attention and accept…"

"NANI?!!"

"Now, now, Rukawa-kun, you know what I…" said Sendoh winking at Rukawa.

"IIE-DA-NA!!! CHIGOU!!!! IIE-DA! IIE-DA!! IIE-DA-NA!!" shouted Rukawa, "HENTAI!!!!!! HENTAI!!!!! HENTAI!!!!!!!!" **

"Ha ha ha! I finally got you to shout Rukawa-kun!"

"NANI???!!!! SENDOH!!!!!!!!! OMEA O KOROSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ***

"Ha ha ha ! I'd like to see you try. Opps, got to go, see you on court okay Rukawa-kun? Jaa ne!"

"SENDOH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Yes, I know that's my name, don't wear it out okay?"

"OMEA O KOROSU!!!!!!!!!!! OMEA O KOROSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



*And no it is not what you think.

**oh Hatsuyuki, you should find this very familiar.

*** Omea o Korosu-I will kill you. Heero Yuy's tagline. He's from Gundam Wing.

What happens next? I don't know. I have writer's block. Sorry.
