Title: The Power of Love

Disclaimer: Slam Dunk are totally Dr.T's and not mine *grunts* anyway, big thanks to him because he created such beautiful characters *sob* Anyway, I don't make any profits for this, so there's no point suing me.

Author's note: Well... my first fic! This fic is just the first part. The second part will be up!

Chapter One

As the history teacher began to lecture the class, my version became blur and my mind seems to be completely blank. Who cares about the warriors and the samurais? After all, those historical people are dead and heck, their statues have been brought up along the streets as memories for them. Before I could drown into my sleep, I heard a faint whisper in my ear.

*Hisashi, you better concentrate, it's important for your upcoming exams! And the teacher will notice if you take a nap*

*Don't listen to him, it's better if you go to sleep isn't it? After all, the basketball training is right after school; you need a little rest*

The Devil Mitsui butted in, pushing the Angel Mitsui away from my version. (or hallucination?)

*Temee! You're so evil!*

*What the heck, I am a devil!*

"Mitsui!"

An angry voice called and made me snap from the whispers.

"Mitsui! Mitsui Hisashi! Were you listening to me??!" The history teacher snarled angrily at me. I looked at him with my lazy eyes. "Nani?" I made an obvious boredom yawn.

The teacher made a loud, mad grunt and turned back to the black board, smashing the poor chalk he's holding into pieces. I yawned for the second time and dropped my head onto the desk, ready to drown into the Wonderful La- la Land.

Sometimes you just can't listen to those helpful angels. After all, sleeping is good when you're feeling really sleepy. (and bored)

*Hah! I win!*

After the hateful class periods, the school is finally over. I made my way towards the gym to begin the normal training practices together with the other basketball members. I'm practically dragging my feet off; looks like the little nap in the history class didn't work. As I walked, I yawned. Without me noticing, I accidentally bumped into somebody. I snapped. "Oi! Watch where you're going, buddy!"

If I could make a wish right now, I wished I hadn't shouted at the person I bumped into. "Mitsui? Aah, gomen! I didn't see you! I'm so sorry," Kogure said and continuously bowed to me. "Kogure- san! No, no- I should be apologising! Sorry I shouted at you, I didn't see it was you!" I said to my best pal and also a team mate, Kogure.

Kogure chuckled and patted my back. "That's fine with me Mitchy. Are you on your way to the gym?" he asked as he pushed his round- shaped glasses back underneath his eyes. "Hai, as usual ne," I answered shortly and we walked to the blue- roof top gym together. "So, how are you? You looked pretty tired, is everything fine?" Kogure asked and I looked at his concerned face, nodding. "Yeah, it's just that our last period was History. You know how much I hated history, the teacher makes me feel all drowsy and sleepy," I answered, shrugging.

"Typical you," he said and wrapped his arm around me.

Then he smiled. But somehow I felt no longer sleepy. I feel more energetic and fresh now.

Maybe it's because of Kogure's angelic smile. His smiles always make people feel happy and warm. I moved my eyes to his face, which is still smiling. I quickly turned away from him when I saw Sakuragi, the red- head monkey approaching us.

Am I blushing?

Yay! Chapter one complete! This is my first ever fic, so I really hope it's fine. ^^ Mitsui is really a sweetheart isn't he? *sighs dreamily*

Sakuragi: Nani?? I was only mentioned ONCE! I demand a re- write! I'm the Tensai and I should be the main character!

Mitsui: Look at the bright side, at least Rukawa hadn't been mentioned at all.

Sakuragi: *eyes shines with stars* Nyahahahahah! True, true! That baka kitsune wasn't in the first chapter! Nyahahahahahah!

Rukawa: Do' ahou.

Sakuragi: NANNI? TEMEE~ RUKAWA! You're not supposed to be here!

Mitsui: *smirks* I take that back.
