Author's Notes: This is chapter 2 of Apartments. I hope you liked the first chapter. And thanks for the reviews I got from my fellow slam dunk fanaftics at the SD Babble club. I love you guys.

Koshino almost fainted at what greeted him when he turned on his computer monitor. "Sendoooooooooooooooh!!!!!" he wailed. His spiky-haired roommate had changed his wallpaper again. On his screen was an Ai No Kusabi doujinshi scan. He could hear snickers coming from the bathroom.

This was his life as a Kainan student. It has been over a month since he moved into the apartment. The guys were all great although some of them ate his patience away. But they could really be depended on.

"Koshino!!!!!!" The boy whirled around from his computer and caught sight of a half-naked Hanagata with his glasses. "Have you seen my Kainan uniform and jacket? I can't find them anywhere." Koshino tried to stifle his laugh. This was usually the issue between him and his best friend. Hanagata was a very smart person and was the president of the school's science research club. They were given free jackets by the school which Fujima hated. He said they were ugly looking. So on occassions, his tenant would hide the hideous cloth and Hanagata would look for it all morning.

Receiving no answer from the boy, Hanagata stormed out of his room. "Kenjiiiii!!!!" A moment later, Koshino heard Fujima's voice. "What kind of a best friend am I if I don't save you from wearing a fashion DON'T?" There was a sound of rumbling and a minute later, Hanagata walked past his door with a brown jacket in hand. He had won the fight.

The bathroom door opened and Sendoh appeared. He was only covered with a white towel on his waist and his hair was dripping with water. "Gyaaaaaaah! Sendoh! The carpet! The carpet!" Koshino wailed again. The latter smiled and brushed his hair up. "I'll take care of that later Kosh kosh." Kosh kosh. That was Sendoh's nickname for him. Weird and Koshino didn't like it. Unfortunately, Sendoh didn't care about what he thought of the name so now he just ignores it.

He had some paperwork to do. Koshino took care of his important documents while his roommate dressed. Suddenly, Sendoh grinned. "You didn't take the wallpaper off. How nice." he said. Koshino hmphed and continued his work. It was no use taking the wallpaper off. Sendoh would always put a meaner picture for him. Best leave it like that.

"Well, I'm going now Kosh kosh. Who's turn is it to cook dinner?" Koshino thought for a moment. Today was Friday so that means it's Rukawa's turn. "Rukawa cooks tonight. For lunch, it's me." Sendoh nodded. "Then I'll eat lunch home. Gotta go?" With that, his roommate left.

In the apartment, they only have one kitchen and it was located in the largest room which was Fujima's and Hanagata's. Every morning, afternoon and night, they would go to their room and eat their meals there. To Koshino, it was all very fair and well-planned. So typically Fujima. He and Sendoh's apartment space was just like the others' One room for their bedroom, one room for the bathroom and one room for the living room. Only Fujima and Hanagata has a kitchen. They also share two telephones and both were located at the hallway outside the rooms.

"Koshino, you're in charge of the house." Fujima said as he entered the room. The latter nodded and took the key. It was not a key of the money safe since it was agreed that all their money would be kept in the bank. Pocket money would be kept in their wallets. The key was actually to the safe where Fujima kept some of Hanagata's ugly science club clothings. Fujima didn't have any other option. He couldn't give it to Rukawa because he was out. Hanamichi would probably lose it. Sendoh was also out. Mitsui was drunk and asleep in his room. Kogure was out shopping for groceries.

"Right." he said, accepting the key. Fujima grinned and left. Well, enough distractions. Time to get back to work. His deadline was this Monday and if he failed to pass his report, he would surely be done for. He was busy concentrating on getting straight A's for the past month and if got a B, he would surely die.

"Oi Koshino! Have you seen my basketball jersey?" Hanamichi asked as he stuck his head in the doorway. "Maybe Rukawa has it. I think he was carrying a black and red jersey over his shoulders awhile ago." As to be expected, Hanamichi threw a tantrum and set off to search for Rukawa.

Koshino sighed. How was he ever gonna finish his report if all these distractions came his way. Going back to his report, the smell of liquor reached him and before he could say anything. "Bwaaaaaaaaaaah!" Koshino almost fainted. Mitsui just threw up on his room's carpet. "Mitsuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!"

Hope you liked this one. I think I'd better tell you guys what my fanfic is really about. Apartments is actually a long long fanfic about people interacting with each other. I have to show you the first two chapters of the story first where Koshino is now fitted nicely with the rest of the characters. I know Ayako and Miyagi haven't actually appeared yet but they will be on the third chapter.
