Disclaimers: All Slam Dunk Characters, Sakura Wars Characters yada yada DO NOT belong to me, as much as I wish otherwise. So don't bother going to a lawyer to sue me, coz I don't have any money. But, all situations written are figments of my imagination after reading several other fictions. So, don't say I didn't warn you!

As Sendoh gently released the ball, he felt a jolt of electric pass through his body. The ball landed and rebounded on the rim. Luckily for the team, Sakuragi appeared out of no where, leaped and caught it neatly.
With a heavy slam dunk, the ball went cleanly through the net. 'Luckily tensai is around,' Sakuragi yelled loudly. 'Sendoh, maybe you are getting to old of this,' he continued.
'Do'aho.' A cold but infuriating voice came to his ears, Turning around, he saw the dark haired boy walking towards the end of the court. 'Teme, Kitsune!,' he called as he raced after the boy.
'And you need to improve your vocabulary too.'
'Baka!'
Before long, the two was involved in a full fledge fight.
Sendoh smiled at the troublesome pair. Over the years, the two had each matured in their own ways. They formed a close bond and earned the label, 'Kanagawa's Dynamic Duo' in the basketball world.
But some things never change. They still like fighting and irritating each other. In Sendoh's opinion, it is their way of bonding and getting to know each other better.
Sendoh averted his gaze from the fighting duo to the now open gym door. There stood two elderly ladies and one young woman. One of the old ladies had bright red hair, streaked with silver.
But it was the young woman which caught his attention. He could have sworn he had met her before, but surely not. He would certainly have remembered that blond hair and tall and erect stature.
He could feel her blue eyes burning into his.
Who was this stranger?
One word escaped his lips involuntarily. 'Maria.'
***** ***** *****
Maria watched as the tall players shot missed. A red-headed boy rushed up and dunked the ball in. Then that red-player got him into a fight.
Maria found herself staring at the tall spike headed player face to face. The resemblance was uncanny. They had the same dark brown eyes that carried a passionate look and easy-going grin. He really looked like Ichirou.
'Sakuragi Hanamichi,' Kanna bellowed at the court in a loud voice for one so old. The fighting stopped with Sakuragi on top of Rukawa. Looking at the entrance, his handsome face formed into a grin.
The next thing Kanna knew, her red-headed great-grandson had engulfed her in a bear hug. 'Obaasan,' he cried delightedly, 'What brings you here?'
'I brought my friend's.daughter. Her name is Maria,' she replied hesitatingly, gesturing at Maria. Sakuragi looked at her as though inspecting a horse he is about to buy. Maria would have shot him in the head but firstly, he is Kanna's great-grandson. Secondly, she doesn't have a gun.
'Hana-san, I have told you to fight properly, ne?' Kanna smiled at her great-grandson fondly. 'You fought like an amateur just now.'
Sakuragi blushed. Turning to Maria, 'Any friend of obaasan is a friend of mine. I, tensai Sakuragi Hanamichi shall introduce you to my teammates. Even though none of them is as handsome as the tensai, you might find someone.'
Ri, Kanna and Maria exchanged amused glances. In some ways, this young man is very much like Kanna, but certainly much more arrogant. 'Why is he so arrogant?' Maria asked in a low voice. 'It came from his great- grandfather's side,' Kanna said wryly. A wistful smile played across her lips at the memory of her late husband.
By now, the entire team had congregated around the ladies. Sakuragi introduced them one by one. They all greeted them in a friendly way. Sendoh was slightly shocked to learn that her name is really Maria.
He caught her staring at her weirdly. Realizing that he had noticed, Maria averted her gaze elsewhere. Soon, they started to play again. Sendoh and Rukawa continued to stun the crowd with their spectacular shots and Sakuragi leapt higher than ever.
'I believe Sakuragi is your great-grandson,' Maria commented. 'He is not as good as you, but I can see he is a fighter. He possesses your speed and energy.'
'Of course he is,' Kanna said proudly. 'I trained him, but by the time he was ready, I was too old to train him properly. He is the best among all my children.' Kanna is really fond of this brash young man. He reflected her qualities in many ways.
'What about you, Ri?' Maria asked, turning to the bespectacled woman beside her. 'I didn't get married. I taught mechanical engineering and researched in ways to enhance the Kobu's abilities,' Ri explained.
Maria only nodded. They then continued to watch the game in silence.
***** ***** *****
'I can feel it,' Maria said quietly. She was sitting in the backseat and she decided to tell the other two about Sendoh.
'Feel what?' Kanna asked cheerfully, her eyes on the road.
'I can feel it. Ichirou is back.'
Kanna swerved in time to avoid hitting the truck. She parked by the roadside and turned to face Maria. Ri's face was slightly white.
'Oogami is dead,' Kanna began. 'No, I can feel his spirit. He has came back to fulfill his promise. He is Sendoh,' Maria continued quietly.
'You have been thinking too much,' Ri tried to find a logical explanation.
'No, Ichirou is back.'

Jess: I finally revealed who is Oogami in this story. Why Sendoh? Cause they possess similliar personalities. Actually it was their hairstyle that made me think of it.
You must say Sakuragi and Kanna are like the same right?
