What If?
A/n: Probably my longest chapter ever! Thank you to Hana/Rukawa who gave me a really really long review. And thanks to all the rest of you who gave me a review. This chapter is to all of you, and is dedicated to my 50th and 51st reviewers.
Summary: What if Sakuragi Hanamichi is a girl? What if her name is Sakuragi Hana, and she has an older brother and a real family? What if she is the best point guard at her Junior High school? Non-yaoi!!
A/n: As usual, expect OOCs in this chapter. I don't feel like writing play by play in this chapter. Don't know why. Even though Hana knew that Maki is the Kainan Ace, she didn't know which one is Maki.
Disclaimer: Slam Dunk is owned by Dr. T, or more precisely, Inoue Takehiko. Thus, that means, it doesn't belong to me, except Hana and Keisuke.
Chapter 11
At the karaoke
"Lemme sing first! Lemme sing first!" Hana shouted.
"Hai," they all agreed, reluctantly at first.
"I want a song, ah, this is it!" Hana said. It's the ending song from the anime, Fushigi Yuugi, and started to sing.
Anata no namae yondara soko de
Totsuzen me ga samesou
Konna ni umaku ikikkonai
Mata guuzen aeru nante
Hitogomi no naka watashi to onaji
Kami shita ko dake miteru
Kitto dare ka o sagashiterun da
Koi no aite ka na
* Me ga atta shunkan demo sore wa watashi de
Uso yo uso, anata kakete kuru
Tokimeki no doukasen ga
Karada juu o hashitteku
Bara bara ni naranai you ni
Shikkari shinakucha watashi
Demo chotto kyou wa chotto
Kimochi ga maigo no koneko
Yasashisa de semeraretara
Tsuiteku shika nai ka mo ne Nya---o
Ikura nandemo nisugiteru yo ne
Anata no sono hanashi wa
Watashi ga yuube, yume no tochuu de

Kono mama sekkin shitai

Everybody gave an applause, nobody would have thought she's a good singer. Hana sang beautifully, and a part of her seemed to be absorbed by the lyrics, but Ayako's the only one who noticed that, though.
It was so obvious that she loves Rukawa. 'Stupid girl,' Ayako thought.
******
School, the next day...
"Rukawa," Ayako called out.
"Yes, sempai?" asked Rukawa.
"I need to tell you something," Ayako whispered.
"What is it?" Rukawa asked.
Ayako said very softly that only Rukawa could hear, "Hana likes you too,"
"You sure?"
"POSITIVE!" Ayako answered.
*******
Takezato vs. Kainan
The Sakuragi Guntais, Hana, Akagi, and Kogure came to watch the match. As Hana expected, Maki, Jin and Kiyota didn't enter the game. Oda seemed to injure his ankle, but when he saw Hana at the audience, he continued playing, regardless of his ankle.
Kainan won easily, 118 - 50.
After the match...
"Oda!" Hana shouted.
"Sakuragi," he acknowledged.
"You played well today," she said.
"So do you," he replied.
Fuji, who's beside Oda, motioned him to speak.
"Sakuragi, I'm sorry for the other day," he apologised.
"Me too," Hana admitted. "I do hope you can heal your foot by the time we are against each other,"
"Well, good luck, Hana-san," Fuji said. "Oda said good luck too,"
"Why would I want to say good luck to her?" Oda asked.
"Because you do," Fuji said sternly.
"Nyahahahhaha, the tensai doesn't need luck," Hana bragged. "But thanks anyway,"
**********
Shohoku vs. Kainan...
"Starting members are: Akagi, Rukawa, Miyagi, Mitsui and Sakuragi. Akagi, balance out Takasago, Miyagi, help Sakuragi with Maki, Mitsui, guard Jin, Rukawa, you know what to do," Anzai-sensei commanded.
"Hai!" they shouted.
At the Kainan bench...
"Maki, that girl plays just like Fujima," Takato-sensei said.
"I know, sensei," Maki answered.
"How can she play like Fujima? She's a girl!" Kiyota said. "Maybe this super rookie can," and got a bash at the head by Maki.
AFter a while...
"Game start, Shohoku High vs. Kainan High," said the referee, and threw the ball. Both Akagi and Takasago jumped, but Akagi got the ball first, and swished to Miyagi, who passed to Rukawa, who in turn did a lay up. Shohoku got the first two points!
"She really do play like Fujima," Maki thought to himself, when Hana stole the ball from Kiyota.
"Aah?" wondered Kiyota, when he noticed that he's dribbling air.
"Oi, Nozaru!" Hana shouted, and passed the ball to Rukawa, who dunked.
"Idiot red monkey!" Kiyota shouted.
Hana saw Maki and shouted, "Eh, no fair, you got an older guy playing with you!"
"Oi, red monkey, he's a third year!" Kiyota shouted.
"Eh, but why do you look as if you are in college already?" Hana asked. "Oldie?"
"Sakuragi, I think Akagi looked older than me," Maki answered coolly. Jin and Kiyota sweatdropped.
"Oh yeah," Hana thought, and Akagi punched her at the head.
"Concentrate! Sakuragi!" he shouted.
Kainan was leading 23 - 7 when there's only 10 minutes left till first half, but thanks to Hana and Miyagi's steals, Rukawa managed to get back the points by getting 16 points all by himself, the last one, a three pointer, much to the annoyance of Mitsui and Hana.
"End of first half!" shouted the referee when the score is 23 - 23.
At the Kainan locker room...
"Maki! What are you trying to do?" shouted Takato-sensei. "That Rukawa got 16 points all by himself!"
"Don't worry coach, I'll handle Rukawa," said Kiyota.
"You can?" asked Takato-sensei.
Kiyota nodded, a fiery look in his eyes.
"I assure you, sensei, he can," Maki said, and held Kiyota's head, and gave him a glare.
Kiyota suddenly wished that he didn't say that.
*****
Second half...
Kainan continued attacking, Shohoku continued defending, until...
"Referee time!" shouted the referee.
Akagi, the mainstay of Shohoku, was lying face down.
Ayako rushed to the captain, and checked his foot, and found swelling at the ankle.
"Player change, Shohoku,"
Kogure's taking Akagi's place.
Takato sensei smiled, and fanned himself by using his new big fan, he had broken the old one when Rukawa even the score.
But Akagi entered the court, regardless of his injured ankle, that he commanded Ayako to tape earlier.
Kiyota was guarding Rukawa tightly, while Maki was guarded by both Miyagi and Hana. Kainan was leading by 6 points, and Shohoku cut it to four, and then, Kainan add up 2 points, making it six, and then, Shohoku cut it again, and Kainan adding up and Shohoku cutting goes on till there's only 5 minutes to play.
Kainan was leading by 4 when Hana shot under the basket, and thus, cutting Kainan's lead to two, but...
Hana passed to Miyagi, who made fast break, and because all the Shohoku players are guarded tightly, Miyagi passed to Hana, who tried to shoot, but Maki swished the ball just in time. Hana glared at Maki.
The buzzer was heard, and Kainan won by a lead of 2 points. Kiyota jumped up and down, signalling his triumph, although he couldn't guard Rukawa as tightly as he wanted.
*********
School - the next day...
Rukawa was awake, but the redhead who sat in front of him was absent from school. Yohei watched Hana's empty seat, and a little smile formed on his face.
Practice...
"Where is Sakuragi?" shouted Akagi.
"She's not even in class this morning," Rukawa answered monotonely. Akagi turned to the guntai who was watching the practice at the door of the gym.
"He's right, she didn't go to school this morning," Yohei replied.
"She didn't even want to go to school today, we went to her house, and her mother said she's 'indisposed'," Takamiya said.
"I do hope nothing is wrong with Hana-chan," Haruko worryingly said.
*********
At the Sakuragi residence...
"I'm sick! Mom," Hana muttered, when Mrs. Sakuragi opened the curtains, revealing sunshine to the room.
"You are not!" Mrs. Sakuragi said sternly. "It doesn't mean that when you lose a game, you will lose all of them,"
"But it's my fault that we lost the game, if I haven't tried to shoot, and passed to either of the guys, we'd have managed to even the points," Hana answered.
"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's based on teamwork," Mrs. Sakuragi replied. "Now go take a bath, change clothes and do whatever you like, as long as it's not illegal,"
"Okay," Hana answered.
********
Hana was wandering around, and spotted a salon, even after her mother's talks, she still thought that it's her fault that they lost.
"Oh, your hair's so beautiful!" said the lady at the salon. "What do you want to do with them?"
"Cut them till the ends reach the shoulders," Hana answered.
*******
Back home...
"What in the world happened to your hair?" asked Mrs. Sakuragi, when noticing that her daughter arrived home with a shorter hair length.
"Cut it. I'm tempted to cut it boyish-style, but changed my mind," she answered. "You are the one who told me to do anything I like, as long as it's not illegal,"
Mrs. Sakuragi nodded sadly, thinking of Hana's hair.
********
Practice (The next day)......
"Eh?" wondered Miyagi and Mitsui. They could have sworn they saw a redheaded girl with shorter hair mopping the floor.
"You are late, Micchy, Ryocchin," said the girl.
"Sakuragi! What happened to your hair?" asked Mitsui, utterly shocked to see the girl cut her hair.
'You look cuter, do'aho,' Rukawa thought.
Hana felt someone stare at her, and turned, only to find herself looking straight at Rukawa's eyes. She felt her heart went to her throat, and her face turned red as her blood seemed to accumulate the capillaries of her face, she turned away after staring back at Rukawa for about 10 seconds.
"Who are you?" shouted Akagi to Hana.
"Gori! Just because I cut my hair, doesn't mean you didn't notice the tensai!" Hana shouted.
Akagi thought, there's only one person who called him Gori, and that's Sakuragi.
"Oh, it's you, Sakuragi," he answered, but bashed Hana at the head because of the nickname.
"Okay, our second match is against Takezato, and Ryonan had just beaten Takezato easily. Although this is the case, we shouldn't take them easily," Ayako said to all of them.
"Hai!" they all shouted.
Hana, meanwhile, was devising the number of shots she need to practice.
'Let's see, 200 long shots, no, make it 300, 300 under the basket shots, and 400 three pointers,' she thought. 'A total of 1000 shots a day to be practiced, and all this to be done after practices,'
End of practice...
"Not going home yet, Hana-chan?" asked Ayako.
"No, I asked my onii-chan to pick me up at around 9 p.m. I want to practice some shots," Hana answered.
"Maybe I should join you," Ayako said, but she saw Rukawa who doesn't seemed to want to leave the court yet. "Ah, I just remembered, I couldn't, my mother's expecting me to help at the kitchen tonight,"
"Okay, bye," Hana replied, not noticing that Rukawa's still in the gym.
"Anou...Sakuragi..." Rukawa said softly, but Hana couldn't hear him, he was at the far end of the gym.
He was about to walk towards Hana when a familiar brown haired boy entered the gym. Rukawa almost fell when he saw the guy.
'Fujima, what is he doing here?' Rukawa thought.
"Hana-chan," Fujima shouted.
Rukawa almost felt his heart shatter once more when Hana hugged the brown haired point guard, until he heard what Hana was calling him.
"Kenji-nii-chan!"
Fujima, however, felt a glare directed towards him and looked straight into Rukawa. He gave Rukawa a smile.
'Ah, Rukawa, you love Hana-chan," he thought.
"You didn't tell me that Rukawa's practicing with you, Hana-chan," Fujima hinted.
"Ei, Kitsune, you are still here?" Hana asked, though her voice sounded a bit squeaky though.
'And Hana loves him too!' Fujima thought. 'This is interesting,'
"I'm going to practice 1000 shots tonight!" Hana shouted. "At least until onii-chan comes to pick me up,"
"Nani?" Fujima asked aghastly.
"Yup, 1000 shots," Hana confirmed. "Kitsune, you pass the ball to me, Kenji-nii-chan, you defend,"
"Whatever, do'aho," Rukawa muttered, but passed the ball anyway.
Fujima went home when he saw how restless Rukawa is. He made up an excuse to Hana.
"Hana-chan, got to go, my mother's probably worried about me already," Fujima said.
"Ok, Kenji-nii-chan," Hana answered, while still shooting her 220th shot.
"You are going to be okay, because Rukawa is still here. I'm sure he'll protect you from danger," Fujima winked at both of them.
Both turned red, they have feelings for each other, and yet, one of them are too shy to admit it, while the other, is a little bit clueless about it.
"Sakuragi," Rukawa said again, a little bit louder this time.
"Yes, Rukawa?" she asked.
"Ore wa..."
