6.1 Chapter 17
Hanamichi continued to sit up despite his injured back. It hurts slightly to be his position but Hanamichi remained where he was, watching with a clearer view of people on the streets. His eyes however were unfocused and cloudy, as if the scene below him did not register into his brain at all. Indeed, he was thinking silently, remembering the past events half a year ago. Haruko came into his life and mended his broken heart, bringing basketball into his life. He could not recall when he fell in love with this sport, but he just did on a certain spring day. He loved the dunks; the shots, the rebounds and mostly, he loved being the centre of attention, or simply the feeling of putting on his number 10 jersey and standing on the court. And after all the fun and joy, came the fall. He was plunged with misfortunate. An injured back kept him out from the final preliminary round and was soon about to keep him out from the winter championship. As he cursed his injured back, a knock came from the door.
Hanamichi: Come in
Anozumi: Hello Hanamichi! *Asked cheerfully*
Youhei: How is your back? *Asked with concern*
Sauichiro: You look great.
Yuji: Yeah I agree.
Hanamichi: I am all right! Remember I am the tensai! *Force a smile*
Youhei looked at the Hanamichi before him and knew that somehow he was not as fine as he said he was. His smile had seemed so unnatural.
Youhei: Are you sure?
Hanamichi: Yeah! *Laughs loudly* how can there be anything wrong?
They started filing Hanamichi in with the recent events he had missed out. Although the three were babbling on and laughing loudly at their own jokes, Hanamichi was away. He tried hard to listen to them, occasionally laughing along but his mind simply drift away from them. Youhei sitting in a corner of the room observing Hanamichi knew and it. They had been friends for long enough to allow Youhei to read Hanamichi like a book, well at least for most of the time.
Youhei: Oi, I think we better go he has to rest.
Hanamichi: Nah, it is ok.
Anozumi: Yes, then we can go play pachinko.
Sauichiro & Yuji: Great idea!
With that, the Guntai left, allowing Hanamichi to return to his own thoughts.
[Outside hospital]
Yuji: Do you think Hanamichi is really fine?
Anozumi: He looks fine. He will not die so easily after a knock, remember his head butts?
Sauichiro: Kind of miss it.
Anozumi: I don't. *Recalls all the injuries inflicted by Hanamichi*
Yuji: Youhei, are you all right? You have not spoken a word since we left the hospital.
Youhei: I am all right. I think I will not join you all for pachinko, just remember I have to do something.
Sauichiro: Come on, do it later.
Youhei: It is important. Ja ne
Before the threesome could say anything, Youhei had already sped away, he would have loved to go with them but before that, he had something to do.
[Hospital, Hanamichi's room]
Youhei: Are you truly all right?
Hanamichi: Youhei? What are you doing here? I thought you had left with the rest.
Youhei: I decided to return.
Hanamichi: Why? You left something behind?
Youhei: No, there is something wrong with you.
Hanamichi: Me? What could be wrong?
Youhei: I don't know. You don't seem yourself; you are acting cheerful and hiding something.
Hanamichi: Youhei, I am fine. Really.
Youhei: It is ok if you don't want to tell, but look after yourself. I will come visit you when I am free. You know I have to work and all the stuff.
Hanamichi: I understand and thanks Youhei. I am fine, just frustrated with my injury. The nurse says that I cannot play basketball for three months. That means that I may not make it for the winter championship. And you know how much I love to play the game.
Youhei: Is that it? You don't have to worry that much. Remember you are the tensai and will make it in time. Cheer up!
Hanamichi: Yeah, how could I forget about that? I am the tensai! Thanks again Youhei.
Youhei: Feeling better now?
Hanamichi: Definitely! *Flashes a grin*
The day dragged on and finally unable to bear the aching pain pulling and tugging on his back Hanamichi opt to lie down on the bed. Feeling a bit more cheerful after the talk with Youhei, Hanamichi started thinking about how he will return to help the basketball team win the championships, thinking of the rebounds and all the dunks he can do, he brightened up.
Haruko visit made Hanamichi felt even better. Feeling guilty for yelling at Haruko a few days back, Hanamichi made it a point to make her feel happy and not as worried. Somehow, during the long break from school, the love that he once held for Haruko had resolved into something more of a friendship and this had made him more comfortable when he is with Haruko. He will no longer go red for no reason and he could talk freely with her, like an old friend. Haruko had brought a delicious pack of homemade sushi and it was delicious (Compared to the hospital food). Eating and chatting, Hanamichi had already forgotten about his injury.
Haruko: hmm, I have to go now, there is a mini test tomorrow, I have to go home and study.
Hanamichi: Oh, I will see you to the door. *Tries to get off the bed*
Hanamichi: Ouch!
Haruko: Are you all right?
Hanamichi: Yes, I forgot that I injured my back. *Doubt flashes across his mind*
Haruko: Let me help you.
Hanamichi: Thanks.
Haruko: See you another day. It feels great talking to you again. Oh, brother and Kogure sempai is coming later.
Hanamichi: Ok, bye. Be careful.
The evening arrived quickly and as the day near the end, Hanamichi who had been in bed the whole day was feeling restless. The energy in him had been unable to dissipate. Yet, he could do nothing but lie on his bed. Determined not to feel pessimistic, Hanamichi filled his brains with happy thoughts and lucky for him, he had company from all his friends to distract him from his thoughts.
Kogure and Akagi came as planned. At about six, the duo came along.
Door: Knock. Knock
Hanamichi: Please enter.
Kogure: Hello.
Akagi: Good evening.
Mitsui: Hi!
Hanamichi: Mitsui? How come you are here?
Mitsui: You mean that I am not welcome?
Hanamichi: No, I mean Haruko did not mention that you were coming with Gori and –
Akagi: Whom are you calling Gori? Don't think that you are injured and I will not do anything to you.
Mitsui: I met them on the streets, thought I had pop in and visit you.
Hanamichi: I see.
Kogure: How are you feeling today?
Hanamichi: I feel all right, better than yesterday.
Akagi: I can see that. *Still angry at Hanamichi for calling him Gori*
Kogure: Akagi, he was just joking with you just now.
Akagi: … *Glares at Hanamichi*
A knock was heard at the door and a nurse entered carrying a tray of food.
Nurse: Here is your dinner. Enjoy.
The trio waited for the nurse to leave before they started talking again.
Mitsui: Sakuragi you can eat while we talk.
Kogure: Yeah, it is better that you eat while the food is hot.
Akagi: Yeah and that can shut you up. *Says bitterly*
Hanamichi: Hmm… have you all had dinner?
In unison: No.
Hanamichi: Why don't you all get something from the canteen below, we can eat together.
Kogure: Not a bad idea.
Mitsui: Yeah I am hungry too.
Akagi: I don't mind. I can eat twice.
Kogure: Mitsui you stay here with Sakuragi, we will get you your food. What do you want?
Just get me the same thing as you.
Kogure: Ok, let's go. *Turns to look at Akagi*
Akagi: Ok.
The duo left the room and Hanamichi was left with Mitsui.
