And so, the next day, when Ikuko went back to school, she went everywhere to look for the person whom lend her his umbrella, and found him, in class 1-7.
"Ano… Arigato gozaimasu!" thanked Ikuko, handing the red umbrella back to Sakuragi as well as a box.
"Ah! You're the girl from yesterday ne?" cried Sakuragi. "Ano, what's this?" looking at the box in his hands.
"Hai, honto ni arigato! This is a little something in return for your kindness…"
"Ano, gomen, May I know your name? I think I may have accidentally forgotten it, sumanu…"
Ikuko: ^Sweat drop^ "Watashi wa Kobayashi Ikuko desu."
"Ah yes! Ikuko-chan ne? "
"Hai, Sakuragi-kun…"
"Ha ha! Ne, would you care to join me for lunch?"
"I'd love to, Sakuragi-kun."
And so, there blossomed a friendship between Hanamichi and Ikuko. I can therefore safely say that the same thing happened to Ryoko and the other Sakuragi, but with vouchers for Pachinko balls, much to Hanamori's confusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The friendship between the Sakuragi twins and the two girls, Ikuko and Ryoko strengthened. But that was only during curriculum time. After school however, it was a totally different story. Ikuko continued to work at the Croquette Shoppe, and Ryoko at the Pachinko shop. Sakuragi Hanamori had decided to join the judo club, since his younger brother had opted for basketball. The reason that influenced Hanamori's decision was that, he didn't wish to compete against his brother; if the occasion arose that their schools should be matched against each other for the Inter High competitions. Besides, Hanamori had always been interested in self-defence. His younger, Hanamichi, knew how to take care of himself for he was almost perpetually fighting to defend himself when he got into any fights with his gundan. With the above said school activities, Sakuragi Hanamori could only patronise the croquette shop after practice, and Sakuragi Hanamichi could likewise do so for the Pachinko shop.
As time went by, Sakuragi Hanamori found himself extremely attracted to Ikuko, the croquette shop girl, whilst Sakuragi Hanamichi found himself attracted to Ryoko, the pachinko counter staff. Both the brothers wished to make their feelings known, but were shy to do so. However, neither knew of what each other did after their school practices, for they were both worn out by the end of the day. They never spoke of who fancied who and that kind of stuff. They thought only girls had those kinds of conversations, and only had male bonding conversations. (L.I.D.[author]: ^Sweat drop^ )
As for Ikuko, she found herself similarly attracted to a certain red head, but didn't know how to go about telling him. She was scared that she would jeopardise her friendship with him if she told him, and it wasn't only her that felt that way. Ryoko did. However, both decided to tell the boy of their dreams that she liked him. That was all there was to it.

~~ IKUKO ~~
Ikuko made her way to the judo club's training place, as she wanted to pay him a short visit, and thought Sakuragi would be there. He had often told her how exciting it was to be in judo whenever he patronised the croquette shop. Upon arriving there, she saw no sign of any red head.
"Ano, sumimasen, may I know where Sakuragi-san is?" Ikuko asked a dark haired male, who obviously was the instructor.
"There's no one by the name of Sakuragi here, Miss." He replied. "The only Sakuragi I know is in the basketball club."
"So ka? Arigato gozaimasu…"
"Aa."
With that, she made her way to the basketball court, where she indeed see Sakuragi, playing basketball, and getting several head punches by a tall gorilla looking senior, and whacks by a female with long curly hair, who held a paper fan. Ikuko sweat dropped and wondered why Sakuragi would lie about his school activity to her. However, her fondness for the red head got the better of her, and she decided to ask him about it when the right time came. For now, she had to get to work, for she was already late.

~~ RYOKO ~~
Ryoko made her way to the basketball club's training court, as she wanted to pay him a short visit, and thought Sakuragi would be there. He had often told her how exciting basketball was, for he was a Tensai and that the club couldn't do without him, whenever he patronised the pachinko shop. Upon arriving there, she saw no sign of any red head.
"Ano, sumimasen, may I know where Sakuragi-san is?" Ryoko asked a blonde haired male, who obviously was the sensei.
"There's no one by the name of Sakuragi here, Miss." He replied. "The only Sakuragi I know is in the judo club."
"So ka? Arigato gozaimasu…"
"Aa."
With that, she made her way to the judo training grounds, where she indeed see Sakuragi flipping other guys around without effort at all. She wondered why Sakuragi would lie about his school activity to her. However, her fondness for the red head got the better of her, and she decided to ask him about it when the right time came. For now, she had to get to work, for she was already late.
