Shohoku's Misfortune

We all who does, so...on with the story...

The new student

The halls of the schools was filled with the murmuring of voices as soon as a freshman
stepped in.

He had long black hair, tied back in a small ponytail. He reminded most students of a
certain raven haired basketball player, if not for the ponytail. The boy looked as if he
had not spent a single minute in the sun. He was very pale, and if not for his height, he
would probably be the first on the school bully's list.

He walked with his head down, his fringe covering his eyes. He only turned to look up when
he noticed another figure walking beside him. Before he could turn to look...

Ayako: Kaede-kun!

Both boys turned to look at the girl who had called their names. One glaring daggers at the
girl, the other smiling as he walked up to her.

Rukawa: Ayako?

C. Sakuragi: Ayako-chan!
* pops his head out of the bag *

Yukishiro: Huh?

Ayako: * walks up to them *
Ano, gomen Rukawa.
And you, how many times have I told you not to call me chan.

C. Sakuragi: Hai hai...Ayako obachan!!

Ayako: Korosu!!!

Rukawa: * turns to walk away *

Yukishiro: Who are they?

Ayako: Hehehe...you'll know soon enough.

Yukishiro: 'What is she thinking of now?'

Ayako: Anyway, just wanted to remind you that there will be basketball practice after
school.

Yukishiro: How could I forget?!

Ayako: Hai hai...There's only one thing on your mind all the time...

Yukishiro and Ayako: Basketball!

Miyagi: Ohayo!

Ayako: Ahh...Ryota. Meet my cousin Yukishiro Kaede.

Yukishiro: Just call me Kaede.

Miyagi: You are her cousin???
* looks at both of them to find at least one clue that they were related at all *
Are you sure you're related in the first place?

Both laughed at his answer.

Yukishiro: I know, I get it all the time.

Ayako: Yeah...

Yukishiro: Anyway, I have to get to class now, or I'll be late.

Before Miyagi or Ayako could even say anything, the boy was gone.

Miyagi: He certainly is very eager about school.

Ayako: He's always like that. Since he was young, he would top the class, sometimes even
the whole level.

Miyagi: * eyes pop *
Nani?

Ayako: Hahaha...Hai. But what he's usually known for is basketball.

Miyagi: I see. Well, I'll be looking forward to seeing him play later.

Ayako: Hai!


~During practice~

C. Sakuragi: Everyone's sooo tall....
* looks at all the new members talking in the gym *

Rukawa: * ignores him and starts practicing his shooting *

C. Sakuragi: Ne, I think that guy over there is taller then you...
* points to Kaede *

Rukawa: * glances at the boy, before shooting a three-pointer *

Miyagi: Alright, I think everyone's here now...All the year ones assemble in front of me!

Immediately, all the new members of the Shohoku basketball team all stood in a straight
line.

Suddenly, the gym's doors got pulled opened, creating a loud screech.

Miyagi: 'I really have to get that oiled.'

C. Sakuragi: * hides behind Rukawa's legs *

Mitsui: Don't tell me you intend to start this year without me?

Miyagi: Mitsui!

Ayako: Mitsui sempai!

Mitsui: Don't get all mushy on me now.

Miyagi: * runs up to him and hits him hard on the back *

Mitsui: What was...

* whack *

Mitsui: What did I do now?

Ayako: That was for not coming to help organize the activities like you said.

Miyagi: And that was for leaving the two bakas with me for the first few basketball
practices.

Mitsui: Gomen, but in case you didn't know, I have to attend school.

C. Sakuragi: Oniisan!
* jumps on Mitsui *

Mitsui: Sakuragi?
* drops the chibi *

C. Sakuragi: * starts dancing around the boy *
Konnichiwa, Konnichiwa, Oniisan!

First years: * sweatdrop *

Miyagi: Anyway, let's get back to the introductions.
I'm Miyagi, your captain. This is Ayako the team's manager. And this baka...

Mitsui: Nani!

Miyagi: ...here is Mitsui. He graduated last year, but will be joining us for practice.

1st year: * raises his hand *

Miyagi: Hai...

1st year: Who is that?
* points to the chibi *

Miyagi: * snicker *
Rukawa, turn him back and let him introduce himself.

Rukawa: Hn!

Miyagi: Or else...

Rukawa: Fine, fine...
Do'aho..

* poof *

First years: Huh?

Sakuragi: Teme! What did you call me you kitsune!

* poof *

First years: * sweatdrop *

C. Rukawa: * looks at Sakuragi before closing his eyes to sleep *

Miyagi: Uh hm!

Sakuragi: * his fist in mid air *
Huh?

The boy turns, and stares at the new members, all staring at him.

Sakuragi: Ahehehehe...
* inches out of the screen *

Miyagi: Now, do you understand my problem...

All the first years nod in response.

Miyagi: Alright, starting with you, introduce yourself to everyone.
* points at a boy, not much taller then him, standing at his right *

Kazuo: Hai! Reizo Kazuo
Height: 171cm
Weight: 70Kg
Position: Point guard

Ken: Mashiro Ken
Height: 169cm
Weight: 67Kg
Position: Shooting guard

The rest went on, introducing themselves to their new team-mates. Until they came to the
last one.

Kaede: Yukishiro Kaede
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 78Kg
I don't play any fixed position.

The rest of the new members stared at the new boy, shocked when they heard the name.

Miyagi: Yosh!
Now, first years, choose five players, and put on your numbers, we're going to have
a game.

Mitsui: Can I...?

Miyagi: Be the referee,Hai! Arigatou!

Mitsui: * sweatdrop *
That was not what I wanted to say.

Miyagi: * walks off *
Sakuragi, change him back, now!

Sakuragi: What for? You don't need him, you have the tensai on your team. AHAHAHAHA....

* whack *

Sakuragi: Fine!
Teme Kitsune!

* poof *

Rukawa: * gets up *
Hn!

Miyagi: Rukawa, warm up, we're having a game with the first years.

Rukawa: * nods *
