6.1 Chapter 21
[At the Danny's]
The two boys have found themselves a seat at the crowded coffeehouse after some five minutes of searching. But due to their height advantage, they found the seats easily enough. They had ordered their food and plates of Oyako-donburi (chicken and egg over rice) and Tori no Mizutaki (chicken stew) were placed neatly on the table untouched.
Mitsui: So when do you want to start training?
Hanamichi: As soon as possible! How about tomorrow?
Mitsui: There is training tomorrow in the morning so your "personal training" can only be in the afternoon.
Hanamichi: All right! No problem!
Mitsui: But are you sure you can manage training the whole day?
Hanamichi: Of course, I am the tensai!
Mitsui: But your back has only just recovered. *Points to Hanamichi's back*
Hanamichi: HAHA! The doctor had already verified that my back is in perfect working conditions! Are you trying to find excuses? *Teasing tone*
Mitsui: What excuses? *Slightly agitated*
Hanamichi: Someone has very bad stamina.
Mitsui: *Definitely agitated* What! I am Mitsui Hisashi who never gives up. I will teach you even if I have to be carried home afterwards.
Hanamichi: I rather not. Because I will be the one carrying you home. *Laughs*
Mitsui felt slightly humiliated. He knew that his stamina had been posing a problem in his game but he had tried to train up and it had definitely improved and to be put down by Hanamichi was not something he particularly enjoyed.
Mitsui: So, do you still want me to teach you? *Getting impatient*
Hanamichi: Yes, I was only joking.
Hanamichi was slightly taken aback by Mitsui's reaction. He did not know that he would have taken the joke to heart.
Mitsui: …*glares*
Hanamichi: Stop being angry, of course, I want to take lessons from you, I want to beat the fox. *Crushes can of drink*
Mitsui: You are very determined. *Points to can*
Hanamichi: Of course, or else why I would not turn to you to learn three- pointer. How long will it take to master three-pointer?
Mitsui: It depends. Some people are gifted at it. *Smug look* but some are not.
Hanamichi: Rubbish! You are talking like Anzai.
Mitsui: I am eighteen and he is sixty-eight? *Frown*
Hanamichi: Of course I know it depends. How long does it take a tensai?
Mitsui: A few weeks?
Hanamichi: You, how long did it take you?
Mitsui: Me? I cannot remember. It was so long ago, but as far as I can remember I had always been good with three-pointers.
Mitsui looked at Hanamichi and was surprised that he had asked such a question. All his years on the basketball court, everyone had been praising him on his three-pointers, and not one, not a single one had asked him how he had acquired his skill.
Hanamichi: *frowns* Don't know if I can make it to the winter championships…
Mitsui: Did I hear wrong? ^He is fretting. ^ What did you say.
Hanamichi: Nothing!
Hanamichi banged his head on the table.
Hanamichi: ^Ah! What were you thinking about? Of course, you can do it.
Silently, he wondered why he had said those words out, in front of Mitsui.
Hanamichi: ^Probably because you feel too comfortable around him, that you forget to act. ^
Mitsui stared with amusement. His sudden violence still proved to be of high entertainment value. He remember every time during half time of matches, when he was angry he would start banging his fist, his head on the lockers. He would find it a funny sight, in fact crazy, but was usually too tired to comment on. Bu now, he was able to see his "performance " again and he found it an even more amusing sight. He could never understand how he could do that without feeling any pain. Mitsui wondered about it as he tucked in on his dinner.
[10 minutes later]
Hanamichi: I am done!
Mitsui: That was quick.
Hanamichi: you are slow. Aren't you hungry?
Mitsui: Not that hungry…
Hanamichi stared into space as he waited for Mitsui to finish with his meal.
Mitsui: I am done.
Hanamichi: Finally. Let's go.
Hanamichi picked up his wallet and opened it to find only 500 yen in it. (500 yen = S$3.50 please correct me if I am wrong)
Hanamichi: Erm…I only have 500 yen with me now so I-
Mitsui: - It is all right. I will pay for my own meal.
[Outside the Danny's]
Hanamichi: I will treat you another time!
Mitsui: It is all right.
Hanamichi: Tomorrow I promise.
Mitsui: If you insist. *Smiles*
[Next day at school, basketball court]
Ryota: All right, that is all for today. Training tomorrow at 2 p.m., don't be late. Especially you. *Points to Hanamichi*
Hanamichi: The tensai will not late.
Ayako: You were more than half an hour late for training today and you still dare to proclaim that you are never late! *Whacks paper fan on Hanamichi's head*
Hanamichi: the tensai don't have to practise that much.
Ayako brought the paper fan down on Hanamichi's head again and a major sweat drop developed.
Ayako: ^Why is he getting even more egoist then before? Boost his morale? ^ You better train hard or else you will not play.
Ryota: Yah, I will put you on the bench. *Smug look*
Hanamichi mumbled something about the shortie Ryota and the busybody Ayako and was about to walk away when he received another smack on his head.
Hanamichi: Why did you do that?
Ayako: What were you mumbling about? *Killer glare*
Hanamichi: Nothing…
Hanamichi finally walked away defeated.
Ayako: I really don't know what is going on in that baka's mind! *Sigh*
[Changing room]
Hanamichi: Ready for training, Micchy?
Rukawa who was also in the changing room overhear Hanamichi. (Who wouldn't he speaks really loudly and the room is not exactly big. ^^;;)
Rukawa: ^Training? Isn't it over? How come they are still training? And together? ^
A certain ominous feeling crept into Rukawa's mind.
Rukawa: ^That is why he was so concern about him, or should I say overly concern. No, it cannot be. ^
Rukawa shook his head, as if hoping to shake the idea out of his mind. Hanamichi happened to saw Rukawa doing that and was taken aback as he was shaking it rather violently.
Hanamichi: What are you doing, fox?
Rukawa: …
Hanamichi: You were shaking your head rather violently, going crazy? Haha, you must be feeling very stress to see me surpass you.
Rukawa: Baka. You have yet to…
Hanamichi: Soon, after I master my three-pointer! Micchy are you ready!
Rukawa watched as the duo walked out of the changing room a feeling of unrest sank into him.
Rukawa: Three-point shot…he had asked Mitsui to help him…^
[Basketball court]
Mitsui: Ready? I will now teach you how to do a three-pointer. I will start by doing a demonstration.
Mitsui grabbed a ball from the cage and lifted off into the air from the three-point line. The ball was given a light push and it moved across the court swiftly landing right in the middle of the net, only to clean a clean whoosh.
Mitsui: Got it?
Hanamichi: I guess so…
Hanamichi picked up a ball and took a jump from the three-point line however, the ball unlike Mitsui's, was pushed with too much force and sailed far from the rim.
Voice: Haha! What a lousy shot!
Hanamichi: Anozumi!
Hanamichi recognised the voice and saw the Guntai all standing at the door.
Youhei: We were passing by, and heard bouncing sounds from the court and thought maybe we will just pop in and see. So, you are learning three pointers?
Sauichiro: you will never be as good as him. *Points to Mitsui*
Hanamichi: You bet?
Yuji: 500. 500 yen. You cannot.
Anozumi: Me, 500 too. You cannot.
Sauichiro: Yah I also bet 500 you cannot.
Youhei: Since I got no choice, I bet that he can. 500 too
Anozumi started to collect the bets in front of Hanamichi and earned himself a head butt. The others were trying hard not to laugh, not wanting a "treat " from the red head.
Hanamichi: What, the three of you! I am the tensai. You all just wait and see!
Guntai: Yes, we will stand here and watch!
Hanamichi: Hmp…
Hanamichi returned to the court and picked up a ball.
Hanamichi: I am ready Micchy!
To be continued…
Guntai: haha…we finally appeared again…after 4 chapters…
