6.1 Chapter 13
Rukawa watched Hanamichi falling slowly to the ground. Time appeared to have frozen, frame by frame, Hanamichi fall. At first, he simply closed his eyes. Then, his body became soft cotton and sacked. Then speed picked up, the next moment he was already out cold on the floor.
Mitsui: I think you can train with us again.
Mitsui turned to face Hanamichi, but no, he faced nothing except the thin air. His looked down as if by instinct to see a pale looking figure, almost ghostly white.
Mitsui: . the day after tomorrow.
Rukawa stood still as a stock as he witnessed the whole basketball team together with the Guntai surrounded the unconscious Hanamichi. He had wanted to follow them, but his legs were not obeying him. or rather, his mind was a blank. He watched the scene as if he did not exist. The only word in his mind was "Sakuragi"
Rukawa: ^Sakuragi^ *echoes in his mind*
Then some men in white came and take Hanamichi away, as if the 83kg boy was only 50. Slowly Hanamichi's body moved out of the court, out of the sports hall, out of his view, out of the school, out of his life.
Rukawa: ^No, he will not, he will not. He will recover fully and join me again on court. He will, he will, he will. ^
A hand patted Rukawa softly on his shoulders.
Voice: Are you all right?
Rukawa: .*nods*
Voice: Are you sure, you haven't move an inch after Sakuragi had fainted.
Rukawa: .yes, I am all right.
Voice: Well fine then.
Rukawa was not all right. His heart was beating so quickly. He could no longer think. His mind was swirling. He closed his eyes hoping to ease the dizziness. But no, he did not find any peace, but the darkness continued to swirl around him, non-stop. He reached out his hand to find the wall. Supporting himself with the help of the wall. Rukawa slowly slide into a sitting position.
He has to go through all the pain again. He had injured his back again. We will lose him, we will lose him for the winter championships. But we can't afford this. We can't lose Sakuragi. Although he is a idiot, but on court, he is gifted. All the pain he had to endure. Why, why did this have to happen to him again?
Rukawa picked up a ball and started dribbling towards the basket and with a loud "bang", the ball was slammed neatly into the hoop, leaving it shaking violently.
Mitsui: Is he all right?
Doctor: Yes, he is fine down. We have an operation on his back and he should be fine in a few months time.
Mitsui: Operation?
Doctor: His spine was pressing on one of his nerves and hence the sudden pain leading to him becoming unconscious. How did he do that, does anyone of you know?
Ayako: I think he sat too heavily on the bench cause he was mad at being made to stay back.
Doctor: Sat too heavily on the bench? Well, the cause is intriguing.
Mitsui: Can we go in and see him?
Doctor: Yes but please do not stay for too long.
Mitsui: Thank you doctor.
Ryota scanned around. I think we shall go in two by two, in case we disturb Hanamichi.
Ryota: Akagi and Kogure sempai, I think you two can go first.
The two seniors opened the door and entered.
Ayako: Rukawa, the doctor says that he is all right. You can stop worrying.
Rukawa: I am not worried.
Ayako: Yes you are, the only expression I have seen from you is now, a worried expression.
Rukawa: .
The door opens and Akagi and Kogure emerged.
Akagi: He is still asleep.
Ryota: Mitsui you want to go in?
Mitsui: No, you two can go first.
Ryota: Ayako lets go in.
Kogure: I think we will go first. Ja ne Mitsui.
Rukawa watched as the seniors left. After an eternity, Ayako and Ryota came out from the room.
Ryota: He looks fine. Mitsui and Rukawa, you turn now. If you all don't mind I think we will go first. It is getting late and I have to. *blushing*
Mitsui: Go ahead.
Rukawa remained, as if he was in his own world, deep in thoughts, staring into space.
Mitsui: Rukawa, do you want to go in?
Rukawa had no replied for Mitsui, but continued to remain silent.
Thinking that Rukawa is refusing his offer, Mitsui headed for the door himself. He reached out for the doorknob only to see a pale hand on it.
Mitsui: Rukawa?
Rukawa: *nods* yes I want to see him.
Together, the two guys entered the room.
Akagi and Kogure walked towards the bus stop.
Kogure: Do you think Sakuragi will be in time for the winter championships?
Akagi: I don't think so, the doctor said that he need at least a few months and the winter championships is less than 3 months away.
Kogure: But 3 months will be enough for recovery won't it be?
Akagi: I hope so too. But he hasn't train for more than half a year, he is sure to lag.
Kogure: I just hope he will get well, maybe this winter championships will not belong to Shohoku. Without you and Sakuragi, there is no one to play the centre.
Akagi: We will see about that, we can only pray for a speedy recovery.
Kogure: Yah, he is a strong boy.
Ryota and Ayako walked along the road leading to the bus stop. Silent accompanied them along the road. They walked side by side, yet there was a peaceful silent. The Ryota broke the silence.
Ryota: Do you think Hanamichi will be able to get well in time?
Ayako: I hope so. it would be difficult to win the championships without him.
Ryota: I guess I have to step up even more on our training. We cannot afford to lose.
Ayako: We won't, remember we have a great point guard in our team!
Ryota: *blushes* Ayako.
The room was dark. The only light came from the lights in the corridor. In a corner of the room was a pale white bed and Hanamichi lay asleep. His breathing was deep and peacefully. The two boys could hardly see in the dark at first, but slowly their eyes adjusted to the dark. Rukawa left the door ajar and Mitsui closed it softly, plunging them into complete darkness. Neither of them moved, they stood in their position using whatever little light they had, make out the figure lying on the bed. Then Mitsui turned to switch on a small lamp beside the door.
Rukawa: No, don't, it might wake him.
Mitsui paused and returned to where he was standing.
They stood there for a long time just watching the pale looking boy on the bed. His face was half hidden in shadows, but they could still see that he was not in pain. He smiled a little in his sleep.
Mitsui: ^He must be dreaming. ^
Rukawa: ^He is fine. ^
It was another eternity before anyone moved.
Mitsui: It is time to go.
Rukawa: *nods*...
With that, the two boys left the room in silence. As they opened the door to left, each of them stole a last look at the pale boy on the boy, their heart aching.
To be continued.
Yeah! Ok..hope you have enjoyed!.C&C are welcomed. and much appreciated.
