Rukawa's Secret Passion
Pt.4 by Star
Wahoo! This chapter is actually a reasonable length! *Goes to celebrate*
Sendoh stepped out the studio door, only to collide with something travelling extremely fast down
the corridor.
"Itai!" He exclaimed as his bum hit the hard floor.
Looking up, slightly dazed, he saw two concerned eyes peering at him.
"Oh! Sendoh! I'm so sorry!"
Sendoh took the hand that was offered to him and allowed Sakuragi to pull him to his feet.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, course, it was my fault."
Sendoh dusted off the seat of his pants and returned the red head's smile.
"Well... you wanna eat with us this lunch? I was on my way there now."
Quietly wondering who us' was, Sendoh gave an affirmative nod, much to the delight of
Sakuragi.
"Great! You don't mind waiting a few minutes with me do you? It's just that Kaede's always
late out of class."
"Kaede Rukawa?"
Sendoh felt a sudden sense of misgiving. Things between himself and the super rookie' had not
been all that great since he'd arrived, and the two of them just kept out of each other's way.
Luckily this was quite easy as they were in none of the same classes.
"Kaede Rukawa?" He repeated.
"Yeah... why? Something wrong?"
"Ummm... no... nothing."
Easily fooled, Sakuragi began to lead him through the maze that was Shohoku, satisfied that all
was well. Sendoh was completely lost after the first couple of turns and had to put all his trust
in the chattering red head.
Finally they stopped in front of a studio door, and Sakuragi turned to smile at Sendoh
"You haven't seen him dance yet have you?"
Sendoh shook his head and Sakuragi's grin widened, "prepare to be amazed."
Inside, the studio was pretty ordinary. Mirrors round the sides, a ballet barre, a sound system and
some crude lighting equipment.
A female teacher was slowly going through some dance steps with a pretty girl in pointe shoes
who was looking completely confused.
The only other two occupants of the room were both asleep in a corner. One was a cat, the other
was *no prizes for guessing* Rukawa.
The teacher looked up at them in relief when they entered.
"Ah! Sakuragi! Could you please wake your friend up?"
There was a moments silence, and Sendoh saw a look of apprehension appear on the usually
energetic boy's face.
"Oh... erm... how long has he been asleep?"
"About 20 minutes."
Sakuragi sweatdropped. Even Sakuragi wasn't immune to waking the boy up, which was likely
to result in some serious injuries.
Luckily there was no need for Sakuragi to risk life and limb, because at that moment, the sleeping
boy decided to stretch and roll over. Unfortunately *or not* he rolled onto the cat which was
sleeping beside him who was none too happy about the new sleeping arrangements.
By the time the tabby had finished giving the raven-haired boy a piece of his mind, Rukawa was
very much awake.
Sakuragi was bent double laughing, and Sendoh found it impossible to suppress the giggles rising
in his throat even though he tried to disguise them with coughs.
The teacher just sighed loudly as if scenes like this were a common occurrence in these lessons.
She waved a hand idly, indicating that Rukawa should dance with the girl.
Stiffly, Rukawa shook the pins and needles out of his legs and took the girls hand. He shuffled
his feet awkwardly into 5th position, looking for all the world like a clown.
As the dance began, with a bored look on his face, the boy led the girl around the floor and guided
her through the steps.
Sendoh was captivated by the way he moved. This boy who, whilst simply walking down the
corridor looked like a complete klutz, was now somehow able to make his body flow between
each step making each separate step turn into one, long, seamless dance. It was amazing to
watch.
Sendoh's eyes were open wide, trying to take in as much of the dance as possible as the two
dancers spun and twisted round each other with an elegance he'd never seen before, each
movement blending in perfectly with the one before...
But then it ended and the music fizzled out.
Rukawa rolled his eyes at the girl who was sprawled unceremoniously upon her derriere and
turning a worrying red colour.
The teacher gave another aspirated sigh and rolled her eyes;
"Okay! I think that's quite enough for now! You kids go grab some lunch and I'll see you back
here in an hour. This is not good enough! We only have 3 weeks till the performance and
Haruko, you haven't done the dance once without messing up yet! Get out of here!"
Rukawa made a quick bow before walking out, pulling a loose t-shirt over his leotard. Sakuragi
and Sendoh quickly followed.
"That was great Kaede!"
Rukawa said nothing in reply to Sakuragi's cheerful words, instead he turned around and stared
at the two boys.
"Did you invite him to join us?"
He waved a hand in Sendoh's direction.
"Yes... I thought we could..."
"I'm skipping lunch."
Rukawa turned and walked away quickly, leaving the two other boys staring after him. Sakuragi
could only shrug at Sendoh in apology.
Authors note: well... I guess it's getting a /bit/ more heated now... hmmm... have you guessed the
pairing(s) yet??
Plez give me some comments... critical especially... :-)
