Author's note: Hello everyone!!! I finally had the time to write another fic. It's been a while since I wrote one. So, first of all, let me get straight to the point: I did not copy the plot of another fic. Which is entitled "A Forgotten Friend, A Forgotten Promise". It's just a coincidence that after I wrote this fic, I happen to read that story (oh, and the author is Mitsui Jr's friend…if I am not mistaken) which slightly has a same plot with mine (just slightly). So, what I am saying is, don't get mad at me. ^_^ Now, about the story. This story takes place after the game with Ryonan, And the Shohoku Team, together with Kainan is going to the Inter High. Alright, on with the story… And sorry for my poor grammar. ^_^
Oh, I almost forgot:

SEKAIGA OWARU MADE WAChapter 1: A Promise Made
Shohoku finally got the ticket to the Inter High as they earned their victory against their fight with Ryonan. Although they got the second best, they were sure happy about that.
After their visit to inform Anzai Sensei about their victory, the team decided to have some rest.
Arriving at his place, Mitsui opened the front door, dropped his bag, and went straight to his room and fell on his bed. "Finally, I can get some rest," he thought. But as he was about to close his eyes, he noticed the calendar and remembered something. "Two days to go," Mitsui murmured under his breath. "I just hope she remembers her promise." Mitsui tried to recall a promise made for the last 10 years.
~FLASHBACK~
"Hisashi-kun, over here," a six-year old girl waved at the little boy across the street. Mitsui crossed the street and talked to the girl. "Um, Midori, did you wait long?" Mitsui asked the girl, who smiled and said, "It's alright. So, anyway, let's go to the park and take a walk." Mitsui nodded and followed Midori, wondering why she had asked him to meet her outside her house.
Yamasaki Midori. Mitsui had known her last year and they became friends since then. Her father died even before she was born and her mother was planning to move somewhere else. "Maybe that's the reason why she asked me to come." Mitsui thought.
After a ten-minute walk, they finally arrived at the park. It was where the often watch high-school boys playing basketball. And which happens to be their dream when they grow up. That was, to be able to be basketball players in the future.
"So, what do you want to tell me, Midori?" Mitsui saw that her lips crawled up into a tiny smile. But it suddenly disappeared and then he saw in her purple eyes, the look of sadness. "But why?" he thought. "Hisashi, I told you one time that my mother planned to move somewhere else, right?" Mitsui nodded. "Well," she continued, "we're moving tomorrow."
"Where?" Mitsui asked with a bit disappointment in his voice.
"to America." Midori told him without even looking in his eyes.
Mitsui suddenly felt that he was speechless, but he finally managed to say something, "But that's so sudden!" he blurted out with a little anger in his voice.
"I know," Midori said as she continued to look down. But she quickly look up and gave him a sincere smile and said, "But don't worry. I thought of something. I thought of making a promise to you. I promise that I'll come back exactly ten years after tomorrow."
"What if you don't?" Mitsui managed to asked her.
"Then, I guess we won't be able to see each other again," she paused, "but I'm sure that I'll keep my word." And with those words, not even saying goodbye to her childhood friend, she turned around and ran through the other direction, leaving Mitsui stunned and unable to move. She knew that if she stayed there any longer, she will surely burst into tears. But she didn't want to. She wanted to be strong, to let her friend trust her… until the world is over.
