7 Chapter 6
[Shohoku basketball court.]
The court was relatively quiet except for the bouncing of an orange ball. Rukawa was the earliest at the court as usual. He bounced the ball slowly at first, and then all of a sudden he was dashing towards the basket at full speed. As if tightly guarded by a skilful opponent, he executed a few sharp and clear moves. The "opponent " was thrown far behind, leaving a clear path for Rukawa to do a slam dunk. With all his might, Rukawa dunked the ball in with a sharp accuracy. He landed with a soft thud on the polished floor. The court was extremely clean today. As he stared at the floor, catching his breath, a person joined him from behind, through the reflection of the floor, he saw that someone executed some shots but all the shots either rebounded or didn't even touch the rim.
Rukawa: What a lousy shot. *murmuring* ^what is that Baka doing here so early, he is usual the last. ^
But however loud the mumble was, it did not escape from that certain someone.
Hanamichi: Baka, it was just a mistake. It was only for warming up. Now let me the tensai show you how good I am!
With that, Hanamichi picked up a nearby ball and dribbled the ball towards the basket. Stopping just before the free throw line, he did a jump shot, and the ball, hang in the air foe a fraction of a second before rebounding off the rim. Then suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed the ball and slammed in right into the basket.
Hanamichi: See, this is what I wanted to show you. I am still the Rebound King!
Rukawa: .^what is wrong with that idiot, I thought he had already master how to shoot from the free throw line? How come the shot didn't go in? Wait. Why I am thinking all these? ^
Rukawa picked up a ball, and dribbled it to the other end of the court completely ignoring Hanamichi. Hanamichi was getting really pissed of.
Hanamichi: how dare you ignored the tensai! Oi you fox, speak up when I talk to you!
Rukawa: .*continue bouncing the ball*
Hanamichi: you fox!
Hanamichi couldn't stand people giving him the cold shoulder especially from Rukawa, feeling better after cooling off, (He dunked his head into a basin of water.). He was ready for yet another fight. Running after Rukawa, he slapped the ball away from his hands. Rukawa turned and gave him a cold stare.
Rukawa: Can you grow up? Quit bothering me, I want to practise!
Hanamichi: I will, once you have a one on one with me.
Rukawa: Don't waste my time. *picks up the ball and started dribbling away again*
Hanamichi: you fox are you scared of the tensai?
Rukawa: . ^ Scared of you? Why should I? You should be the one afraid of me? Well you better not play one on one, if you injure your back again, it will only become worse. ^
Hanamichi: RUKAWA! You FOX!
Rukawa simply ignored him and carried on with his pre-training training. (That is probably why he is so good. He practises double others.)
[Half an hour later]
The others joined the two year 1 for training.
The first to arrive was the captain Ryota Miyagi. (Not like, I have to say much) Alongside him was the team manager, Ayako.
Ryota: Amazing, Hanamichi is actually here early! Ayako, did the sun rise from the west today?
Ayako: *takes out the ultimate paper fan and whacks him on his head* can you stop talking nonsense and go get ready for your training? You are the captain remember.
Hanamichi: Way to go Ayako! Haha. How dare you laugh at Ryota now you get your.
The paper fan did work again, this time on Hanamichi's head.
Ayako: Stop laughing! By the way, how come you are so early today?
Hanamichi: well.I skipped lesson and so I thought maybe I should come earlier to practise.
Ayako: Sakuragi, I don't think you will train much today, Mitsui sempai was telling us that he wants you to rest more and he had actually told Anzai sensei, So you can't train much except for maybe the basics and the warm up.
Hanamichi: What! Why did that Micchy had to do this. Ah.now I can't play, so why did I come back to school!
Devilish Hanamichi suddenly spear on his right shoulder.
Devil: See I told you. You should have stayed at home and rest more, at least then you could plat basketball on your own.
Hanamichi: Shut up!
The Devil smiling evilly vanished.
Ayako: Did you call me to shut up? *hands on hips, getting ready to whack him.*
Hanamichi: No I was not talking to you.
Ayako: Then to whom? There is only you and I here.
Hanamichi: Myself.I was talking to myself. *walk away*
Ayako was left standing alone, totally puzzled by Hanamichi.
Hanamichi: ^ Why is Micchy doing this to me? Why is he suddenly being so concern for me? Surely, we are not such good friends. I mean, we hardly share our problems, I mean, real problems. Then why in the hell is he being so.well.so nice to me.like I am his brother or something? Why? ^
Hanamichi had absolutely no idea towards Mitsui's sudden kindness and concern towards him. He did not understand and would like to know the reason why? But suddenly, he was afraid to find out. He wanted to know so much yet he did not have the courage to ask him.
Hanamichi: ^ Well maybe he is just being concern because he doesn't want be to become like him. Hey, that is it! He doesn't want me to become like him! ^
With this thought in mind, Hanamichi felt a wave of relief wash over him, his smile radiated all over his face and he was the happy go lucky guy everyone knew again.
Mitsui: Good afternoon all!
Some basketballers from the team: Good afternoon Mitsui sempai!
Hanamichi: Hello Micchy long time no see! Hey, I heard from Ayako that you talk to Anzai about my injury. Why did you have to do that, I want to play basketball. Haven't I already promise you that I will not strain my back. I promise again I will stop once I feel that it is too much for me.
Mitsui: Hahaha! Did I hear wrongly, when did you promise me? How come I cannot remember? It is for your own good. Quit fussing over it.
Hanamichi: So you will let me play now? *embarrassed*
Mitsui: Sure. either you do light training which means no dunks, no blocks.or no training at all. Take your pick. *looking menacing at Hanamichi*
Hanamichi: Ok. Better then nothing. *sulking*
[10 minutes later]
Ryota: Everyone gather!
Everyone started slowly towards the 168 cm captain.
Ayako: People! Why are you all so slow today?
Ayako pulled out the ultimate paper fan from her back and whack, whack, whack. Everyone excluding Mitsui (he is a senior) and Ryota was given a smack on their heads.
Ayako: This will teach all of your for moving so slowly! The winter championship is coming and yet all of you are so lax! Shohoku has a name to uphold. Remember we beat the three-time IH champion.
The reminder of the fact that they had beat Sannoh was a huge morale booster to the team. Being reminded of the past glory, there was a certain energy level being restored. Ryota gave a sigh of relief.
Ryota: ^ Luckily I had Ayako's help or else how will I ever manage a low-spirited team. Ayako.my saviour. ^ * stares at Ayako with dreamy eyes*
Ayako: What are you staring at?
Ryota: Ah.nothing. Everyone the usual jog for warm up!
Everyone: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
Ryota: Dash!
Ryota: Now jog!
By the time he run was over, most of the team members were already panting with their tongues out. Mitsui although looked a little tired, but his stamina had improved. (Well he had been training it for the past months). Rukawa was looking fine. Ryota too. Hanamichi, as usual didn't even looked tired. He was enjoying himself thoroughly. He couldn't quite remember when he last had training.
Hanamichi: Hey Ryota, this is all, let's do a bit more run.
Ryota looked at Hanamichi. He didn't say a word, but simply pointed to the others who were still catching their breaths.
Ryota: ^ Is that guy blind? Can't he see that the rest of the team are almost dead. I thought I had been rather strict with the run. The how come Hanamichi is not the least bit tired? ^
Hanamichi: Huh? We only ran about twenty rounds and you are all so tired? *scratches his head, puzzled*
Ryota: *ignore Hanamichi* Pair up and do passes.
Hanamichi: Passes! I haven't done for so long!
As Hanamichi exclaimed at their next drill, everyone had already paired up. The others who were not were, Rukawa, Mitsui and Ryota.
Hanamichi: ^Well I guess I will have to go do passes with one of them. ^
With that in mind, Hanamichi walked towards the three who were also deciding on their partners.
To be continued.
Wah!!! Finally, I come to a point that I can stop!! I actually wanted this chapter to focus on the whole training but I realised that it was too long. so here is half of the training. I know this is like a abrupt end but.well I guess the other half will have to wait.well thx to all for reading..pls do C&C.
C&C can be left on babble forum or e-mailed to me.
