They all belong to the great Inoue Takehiko.
p/s: for all those who know of the anime Twin Signal, I think you would find this storyline quite similar...
* evil grin *

The day passed rather quickly, surprisingly. Sakuragi stopped shouting 'Kitsune' and Rukawa
'Do'aho'.

Akagi: Dismiss!

Everyone headed towards the locker room, to take a bathe and change before they left for
home. Ayako, Sakuragi, Rukawa and Akagi stayed in the court.

Sakuragi: Oi, gori, what are you still doing here!

Ayako: * uses her fan to tap Sakuragi on the head *

Sakuragi: Hai hai * then begins dribbling *

Akagi: To make sure that you two bakas don't do what ever you did to each other just now.

Rukawa: * ignores them and begins playing *


~The next day at school~

Sakuragi: O-O-Ore wa Tensai tensai tensai...Basket men...Sakuragi Hanamichi! * goes out of
tune * (then again, when was he ever in tune...^_^;;)

Guntai: * sings along with him *

Ayako: * whack *
When will you ever stop singing that song!

Sakuragi: Hm! How dare you say that to the Tensai who helped you...

* bell is heard *

Sakuragi: huh?

Rukawa rides his bicycle over Sakuragi, and falls over in the process.

Rukawa: Itai!

Rukawa Brigade: Rukawa, Rukawa!

Sakuragi: TEME KIT...

Akagi: * wham! *

Sakuragi: What?

Akagi: We have to keep this funny thing that happened to both you and Rukawa a secret.

Kogure: Yeah!

Sakuragi: Megane! You agree with Gori?!

Kogure: I agree with him. Because if this gets out, who knows what the media will do?

Sakuragi: Hmmm...Fine!
Kitsu...

* whack *

Ayako: Sakuragi!

Sakuragi: Hai hai...

Miyagi: Good way to start the day ne, Sakuragi.

Sakuragi: Ryochin!

Mitsui: Ohayo!

Sakuragi: ohhh...since you want to keep this within basketball, and everyone is here...

Kogure: Sakuragi!

Sakuragi: Kitsune! * points at Rukawa *

* poof *

Rukawa Brigade: Rukawa?

* smoke clears and they see a sleeping chibi on the floor *

Rukawa fan #1: Ahhhhh...Kawaii!!...* picks up the chibi *

C. Rukawa: * blink blink * zzzzzzzzzzz....

Suddenly, the whole Rukawa brigade jumps on the poor chibi, wanting to keep him for
themselves.

Everyone: * sweatdrop *

Mitsui: You know, I think Rukawa is popular enough to have his own merchandise. * thinks *
Soft toy Rukawa, Rukawa futons, Rukawa...

Everyone: * multiple sweatdrops *

School bell: RINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

All the members stare at Rukawa, then at the school, back at Rukawa, then the school.

School bell: Oi! I can't keep this up all day, so get to your classes now!....* cough
cough *

Everyone: * sweatdrop *

Kogure grabbed Rukawa from his brigade, and dragged Sakuragi along with him to behind some
bushes.

Kogure: Sakuragi, change him back, we're all getting late for class now.

Sakuragi: * looks at the chibi sleeping on the ground *
But he looks so cute like that, that way, we can give him to one of the girls to keep as a
pet.

Kogure: Sakuragi.

Sakuragi: * poke poke *

C. Rukawa: * looks up, blinks at Sakuragi, yawns then goes back to sleep *

Sakuragi: See...he likes being a chibi. That way, he can sleep all day long...

Kogure: Now.

Sakuragi: Hai hai...Kitsu...puffs...

Kogure: Sakuragi...

Sakuragi: Kit...ten

Kogure: This is not going to work!

Sakuragi: Kit..

C.Rukawa: Urusai, do'aho.

* poof *

Kogure: * slaps his forehead *

C. Sakuragi: Konnichiwa Konnichiwa, Megane-kun.

Kogure: Ano, Akagi, I think I need a hand.

Akagi: What's wrong, now? * stares at the two chibis on the ground. *

Miyagi: You have got to be kidding me. * comes out from behind Akagi *

Mitsui: Not again.

Akagi: What are you two still doing here, get to your classes.

Mitsui: Akagi, Kogure, why don't both of you go first, Miyagi and I will stay and get these
two to change back.

Akagi: * looks at the two in disbelief *
Fine, but both of you have to get to class as soon as you're done here.

Kogure: Let's go.

As soon as Akagi and Kogure left for class, Miyagi and Mitsui grinned.

Mitsui: * bends down and poke the chibi Sakuragi *

C. Sakuragi: Choco, ne, choco...* tugs at Mitsui's pants *

Mitsui: Gomen, but I don't have any...

C. Sakuragi: * walks over to Miyagi *
Choco? * tugs at his pants *

Miyagi: Same here.

C. Sakuragi: * sits on C.Rukawa and pouts *

C. Rukawa: Get off me you Do'aho!

* poof *

Sakuragi: * lands hard on the poor chibi on the floor. *

We see a little hand, from beneath the red headed boy.

C. Rukawa: Tasukete...(save me)

Sakuragi: Huh? * looks down *
Gomen...

Both Miyagi and Mitsui start to laugh hysterically.

Sakuragi: Oi, Kitsune! What did you call me?!

* poof *

Rukawa: Nani yo, Do'aho!

* poof *

C. Sakuragi: Ne, ne, Oniisan, choco choco...* tugs at Rukawa's pants *

Rukawa: * glares at the chibi * 'He's pathetic'

C. Sakuragi: Choco?

Rukawa: *bends down and pulls a chocolate bar out of his pocket and gives it to the chibi*

C. Sakuragi: * takes it from the boy and chomps the whole thing down *

Miyagi, Mitsui and Rukawa watch on as the chibi finishes the whole bar.

Mitsui: Impossible, how can such a small thing eat so much or so fast?

Rukawa: * picks up the chibi and heads to class *

Miyagi: Oi! What do you think you are doing?

Rukawa: Going to class.

Mitsui: With the Chibi?

Rukawa: I'll drop him in class * evil grin *

Mitsui and Miyagi: * grin back, before they too went to class *


Rukawa: * stares at the chibi in his hands *

C. Sakuragi: huh?

Rukawa stops at the door of Sakuragi's class.

Student: Teacher, Rukawa's at the door.

Teacher: Rukawa? He's not in our class.

Rukawa: * walks up to the teacher and dumps the chibi in his hands, before turning to walk
out. *

Teacher: huh? Sakuragi?

All the students including Youhei: * sweatdrop *

C. Sakuragi: * Bounced onto the table *
Choco...choco...

Everyone fell off their seats, sweatdropping.

Youhei: * walks up to the teacher * Excuse me, but this is erm...Sakuragi's younger ermm...
brother, and he was suppose to be in my care today.

Teacher: Okay, good enough, but where is Sakuragi?

Youhei: Ano...It's very funny...ahehe...

Youhei went on, trying as hard as he could to make up a story, with C. Sakuragi climbing
up his neck, onto his head.
