Shohoku's Misfortune

Rukawa: Pass!
* runs towards Miyagi *

It was eight minutes before half time. The score was 32 for both teams.

Morisawa, a first year point guard, guarded Miyagi. Even though he was very small built,
Morisawa managed to prevent the Shohoku's team captain from scoring.

Miyagi: 'Hn, the first years this time think that they are the best.'
* remembers meeting Sakuragi *
'Then again, maybe this guard isn't that bad...'
* throws the ball to his left *

Sakuragi: * catches the ball *
Yosh, now that the tensai is here...

Before he knew it, Kiyota from Kainan had already stole the ball from him, and was running
towards their goal.

Rukawa: 'Do'aho.'
* runs past Sakuragi *

Sakuragi: Kora nozaru!!! (wild monkey)
* runs after Kiyota, catching up in no time *

Jin: Aki!

The other boy nods, as he runs to defend Sakuragi.

Akimatsu, also another first year, plays as a center for the Kainan basketball team, being
very tall, big built, and also because of his looks, he is known as the caveman. Only to a
certain red head of course.

Sakuragi: * stops *
Oi, Caveman, what do you think you're doing?

Akimatsu: Don't call me that!

Sakuragi: Ahahaha...the tensai can call you anything he wants...Ahahahaha

Mitsui: (from the side)
Sakuragi! Rebound!

Apparently, Rukawa had managed to tip the ball of with the tip of his finger.

Kiyota: Nani!

Sakuragi: Aa! * nods *
* tries to run past the 'caveman', failing very miserably *

Rukawa: Hn! * jumps to get the rebound *

But to his surprise, he saw another hand reach out in front to him, it was Kaede.

Kaede: Miyagi!
* passes the ball to Miyagi *

Miyagi: Yosh! Let's get the next point!

Sakuragi: * mumble *

Akimatsu: I will never let a red haired monkey defeat me.

Sakuragi: * grumble *

Kiyota: Ahahaha...couldn't even run past Aki...Ahaha...

Sakuragi: Grrrrrrrrrrr...........

Rukawa: Hn! Why don't you try doing something useful...
* runs after Miyagi *

Sakuragi: Nani!

Rukawa: * turns around *
Do'aho!

* poof *

Miyagi: * without turning back *
'Mattaku...'

Ayako: 'Oh no...'

Akagi: What is he trying to do now, help us lose the game?!

Mitsui: * grin *
You don't have to worry, Rukawa has given Sakuragi some 'special' training.

Akagi & Kogure: 'With the look on his face, it can't be anything good...'

Sakuragi, changing into...ermm....the chibi he usually is, distracted some of the Kainan
players for a while, buying Miyagi some time.

Miyagi: Kaede!
* passes the ball to Kaede *

Kaede: Yosh!
* takes a step back, and makes a three point shot *

Miyagi: Nice!
* high fives him *

Kaede: * nods *

Rukawa: Hn!

Jin: * walks up to Miyagi *
Don't you want to change him?
* points to the chibi who was dancing around Kiyota's feet *

Miyagi: Don't worry, I think he'll be able to play.

Jin: 'Think?'
Hai, fine then.

Miyagi: * nods *

The game continues. Kiyota, still defending C. Sakuragi, Jin defended Rukawa. Akimatsu,
Kaede. Morisawa, Miyagi, and another year one who went against Ken.

Kiyota: Jin, are you sure I have to guard this...this...erm...
* picks Sakuragi up by his neck *

C. Sakuragi: Itai!
* bites Kiyota's hand *

Kiyota: * drops the chibi *
Itai!!

Everyone: * sweatdrop *


Mitsui: (to everyone at the bench) Lesson no.1, never pick up that chibi by the neck.

Everyone there: * nods *


Referee: * blows the whistle *

Akimatsu throws the ball to Jin. Immediately running towards Kaede after he did.

Jin: * dribbles the ball a little before passing it to Kiyota, who was standing behind him *

Miyagi: * smile *
Sakuragi, remember...
* points to a big black bag at the bench * (we all know what's inside....;)

C. Sakuragi: * nods *

Jin & Kiyota: Huh?!

C. Sakuragi: * turns to face Kiyota again *
Hn!
* grins *

~flashback~

Miyagi and C. Sakuragi watched on as the second and third years played against the year 1s
without them. Rukawa, who was leading the second the third years, provoked Ken a little,
causing him to make a foul.

C. Sakuragi: * stuffs a bar of chocolate in his mouth *
Hmm...

Miyagi: What?

C. Sakuragi: Isn't it oniisan's fault, not Ken niisan?

Miyagi: * grin *
'He was actually doing like I told him to.' (To observe the game...in case any
of you didn't get it...;)
No, in the end, it was Ken who made the foul, not Rukawa.

C. Sakuragi: You mean I can do something like that?

Miyagi: Ehh...hai...

C. Sakuragi: * grin *

Miyagi: * sweatdrop *

~

Kiyota: 'This is going to be easy.'

Before he knew it, he felt something soft and squishy under his left foot. Slowly, he looks
down to find a little stumpy hand, twitching from under his foot.

Referee: Foul! White no. 10, charging!

Kiyota: Nani! It's not my fault he didn't move out of the way.

Jin: Kiyota!

Kiyota: Hai hai.
'Sakuragi would not be able to make the throws anyway.'
* takes his foot off the chibi *

C. Sakuragi: * 'peels' himself off the floor *
Hehe...
* gets up and bounces to Miyagi *

Kiyota: Huh?!

Jin: How is that possible?!

Akimatsu: Hn!

Morisawa: * points *
Bakamono!!

C. Sakuragi: * turns to look at them, sticking out his tongue *

Kiyota: Nani!
* was about to stomp towards the chibi, and stomp on the chibi too if possible *

Jin: * puts a hand on his shoulder *
Don't.

Kiyota: Demo...

Jin: * glares at him *

Kiyota: Fine...* sulks *


Referee: Are you sure he'll be able to handle a ball which is almost twice his size?

Miyagi: Hai, don't worry.

C. Sakuragi: Hai, the Tensai will score for the team, chibi or no chibi...* grin *

Miyagi & referee: * sweatdrop *


Referee: Hai, two throws.
* tosses the ball to the chibi *

* poof *

Kainan members: Nani?!

C. Sakuragi: * jumps, and throws the ball *

* poof *

The Kainan members stared on as they watch the ball go back to it's original size, as it
went through the hoop.

Voice: Unbelievable!

Everyone turned towards the voice, sweatdropping as they realized who it was.

Hikoiichi (sp?): Gomen, I just came by to confirm Ryonan's next game with Shohoku.
Do you mind if I stayed?

Mitsui: No, you can't...
* slowly pushes Hikoiichi out of the gym *

Hikoiichi: Demo...

Mitsui: No, definitely a no. If you want, you can wait here.
* points to a spot on the floor *

Hikoiichi: Here?

Mitsui: Hai! Here.

Hikoiichi: Can you leave he gym door open then?

Mitsui: * walks back *
No!
* closes the door in the boy's face *

Hikoiichi: 'Hmmm...there must be a secret to what I saw, and a reason why Mitsui sempai
didn't want me there...'
Yo...Check!
