6.1 Chapter 18
Mitsui: So how was your day?
Hanamichi: Boring.
Mitsui: So how is it between Rukawa and you?
Hanamichi: Oh, I haven't thought about that the whole day.
Mitsui: He did not come today?
Hanamichi: No.
Mitsui: So, what did he say yesterday?
Hanamichi: Well, you are wrong, he said he doesn't like me the way you thought it was.
Mitsui: He doesn't?
Hanamichi: Yeah, he isn't what you think he is and since I no longer like Haruko I could stop my hostility towards him.
Mitsui: What! What do you mean that you no longer like Haruko?
Hanamichi: I think I only treat her like my sister now. I no longer go head over heels around her. But still if anyone is to harm her, I will make sure that person gets it.
Mitsui: ^He no longer like her! Does not mean anything for you Mitsui? Yes! ^
Mitsui: Wrong? How could I be wrong? Do you think that I am wrong?
Hanamichi: Well, maybe he had been a little weird, but, to think that he likes me, it is really crazy.
Mitsui: Well maybe. ^Crazy? Do you mean I am crazy too? ^ So you will accept his proposal?
Hanamichi: Yeah I guess so. Maybe we can make the team stronger if we cooperate. But I still do not like his cocky self one bit. But I think I can get by without quarrelling with him and being friends with him does not mean that I cannot fight with him.
Door: knock.
Mitsui: They are back.
The door opened to reveal a raven hair boy. He had a basketball and was soak to his skin.
Hanamichi: You jumped into the river?
Rukawa: No, I was playing. *Points to basketball*
Mitsui: Erm… do I need to leave?
Hanamichi: No, you already know everything.
Rukawa: What is your answer?
Hanamichi: Well, I don't mind, but remember the terms we have laid out?
Rukawa: No, I cannot.
Hanamichi: You are not supposed to treat Haruko like dirt.
Rukawa: Fine, I agree. ^I will treat her worse than dirt. ^
Hanamichi: Really?
Rukawa: Yes.
Hanamichi: Great, deal.
The "friendship" was sealed and Mitsui felt a sudden unease all over.
Another knock was heard on the door.
Mitsui: It must be them this time.
Kogure: We are back!
Mitsui: Welcome.
Kogure: Here Mitsui. *Fumbles with a plastic bag and hands food over*
Mitsui: Thank you.
Akagi had been silent since he entered the room; he had noticed an extra person in the room, unlike Kogure.
Akagi: Hello Rukawa.
Kogure: Rukawa? *Looks around*
Kogure: Oh, you are here too. Hi.
Rukawa: Good evening. I got to go bye.
Rukawa was out on the pathway before long. He had never like crowds, although he had loved to stay with Hanamichi, but with all the others around, he felt uncomfortable and would rather leave.
Rukawa: ^Maybe I will come back later or tomorrow. ^
Slightly puzzled by Rukawa's appearance, Kogure and Akagi simply watch the Rukawa's shadow fade away as he left the room.
Akagi: I am surprised he even bothered to come. I mean if it were someone else, I would not be. Rukawa visiting Sakuragi? He actually bothered to visit someone like him. That is something to think about.
Hanamichi: What do you mean Gori!
Akagi: Say that again!
Kogure: *Sweat drop* Why is he here too? I am a little surprised myself.
Mitsui: *Shrugs*
Hanamichi: Hmm…I am hungry, let's get started.
Mitsui: Yes, I am hungry too!
The foursome started their dinner and chatted about everything under the sun, from basketball to school to university, simply anything and everything that came to their mind. Though Akagi will throw Hanamichi glares at the mention of the word "Gori", Hanamichi was still in one piece when the left.
Kogure: Well it is already 8 o'clock. I have to go.
Akagi: Yeah, have to go back home to study.
Mitsui: Study? Not me, I fall asleep whenever I see books.
Akagi: You are hopeless.
Mitsui: What! Not everyone can be like you!
Kogure: Well, ja ne then Sakuragi.
Akagi: Bye
Mitsui: See you.
Mitsui was all alone as he parted with the other year three. He felt a sinking feeling as he recalled the deal between Hanamichi and Rukawa. It is not as if he did not want the two to be friends but he felt unsafe. He was worried, very worried that maybe just maybe one day, Rukawa will get what he wants. And him, Mitsui will only sit in a corner and watch silently as their friendship go beyond the benchmark.
Mitsui: ^ Do something or else you had be thrown for behind. ^
Another day was brought to a close. A draft of wind blew quietly into Hanamichi's room. He was already asleep in bed, tired form the day's mental exhaustion. The wind like a playful child ruffled with Hanamichi's shinning red hair. Hanamichi lay comfortably on the soft white bed; his breathing was deep and steady, his eyelids twitching from time to time. A beautiful smile formed on his lips as if having a wonderful dream. In a corner of he room, a pair of cold piecing eyes stared at the boy on the bed. His coldness was a sharp contrast with the warmth that appeared to radiate from the sleeping boy.
[A few weeks later]
As the winter championship drew nearer, basketball training intensified and they had training even on Sundays thanks to the Ryota. Training for some 4 hours each time, it was both physically demanding and mental exhausting. But the team was not to give up. Remembering that they all had a name to uphold, they fight on. Each time they lax in their training, they were reminded by the ever determine and encouraging manageress. With all the help they needed, the team had improved tremendously. Hanamichi had already been discharged from the hospital, although he comes to school everyday, yet he could only sit out every training, or rather he do not even bother to go. His injured back needed another 3 weeks before it can fully recover and the winter championship was in a month. He was able to make it after all but he had lost his accuracy that needed more than 1 week to polish up. And with a back to think about, he would not be able to train as hard as he want.
Youhei: Not going to watch them train again?
Hanamichi: Nah, there is no point, I can't join in and only feel worse.
Youhei: maybe you had go watch Rukawa; he had improved a lot, and learnt something from him.
Hanamichi: What! Me learn from him.
Youhei: But I thought he had a deal with him.
Hanamichi: I will never accept his help. I have yet to prove to him that I am better.
Youhei: Well keep trying.
Hanamichi: Even you think that I cannot beat him?
Youhei: I don't even have to think.
Hanamichi: What! What sort if friend are you?
Youhei: Ok, ok, I was only joking, clam down. You will beat him soon after you recover
Hanamichi: Yes, I will, you just watch.
Youhei laughed quietly to himself as they headed for the café together.
Youhei: ^Nothing seem to damage his confidence. ^
To be continued…
Hmm hope all of you have enjoyed reading…
Hanamichi: will I make it for the winter championship?
Issei: I hope so.
Hanamichi: Will I beat Rukawa?
Issei: I hope so…^ but I doubt so! ^ ^^;;;
