Author's Notes:
Konnichiwa again! I'm back with the second installation of "The Search Is Over". This is my first fic ever about Slam Dunk and I hope I'm being just with what I'm writing. Comments and criticisms accepted. I take them as challenges. Hope I please everybody.
Disclaimer: [Do I have to do this every chapter?] Slam Dunk is not mine. It belongs to Mr. T. The song is also not mine.

Chapter Two: You've Got It All Wrong, Buster...
"Yare, yare. Baka Sakuragi." Rukawa mumbled after Sakuragi missed a common shot.
"What did you just say, kisune?" Sakuragi fumed.
Ryota came in, ready to resume his practice. The team started another round, each of them shooting from under the net, on the free throw line, outside and some fastbreaks.
Ayako came in, eyes puffy from crying. "Akagi-sempai." she called.
Akagi stopped and went up to her. Akagi noticed her red eyes. "Daijobu desu ka?" he asked.
"Un. Daijobu. It's just that I'm not feeling well captain. Could I go ahead?"
Akagi sensed loneliness in her voice. "Okay then. Don't worry, I'll take care of the team. You get yourself some rest. You don't want to be absent for the game on Friday, right?"
"Arigato, sempai."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Ryota-kun?"
Ayako felt like she was at the brink of crying, but held back the tears. "Iie. Let him play. He doesn't mind anyway." and she walked out of the gym.
~I was always reaching
You were just a girl I knew
I took for granted
The friend I found in you...~
After Ayako left, Akagi approached Ryota, who is currently playing at the court. "Ryota-kun, did you and Ayako-san had a fight?"
Ryota stopped dribbling the ball, and everyone in the team came to a halt. "No we didn't. Why?"
"She has been crying."
"CRYING?" the whole team exclaimed.
"Aya-chan is crying? Who did it to her? Where is she anyway?" Ryota searched the gymnasium, but to no avail.
"What happened when you came out of the gym?" Mitsui asked.
"We talked."
"Talked about what?" Kogure broke in.
"About my dream."
"What dream?" Sakuragi asked, curiosity obvious in his voice.
And Ryota related every little thing they talked about. He told them about his dream of being the number one point guard in the Kanagawa prefecture, and how Ayako responded to each of his words.
"Baka Ryota." Rukawa butted in his usual voice.
"I'm a baka?" Ryota pointed to himself in disbelief.
"Baka Ryota." Rukawa repeated.
"Indeed, kisune is right. You are a baka, Ryochin!" Sakuragi, for once, agreed with Rukawa, his arch-enemy.
"Why did I suddenly become a baka?"
"She broke up with you!" everybody in the team remarked.
"What? When?"
Everyone wanted to kick Ryota's butt, but Akagi immediately spoke after the team's reaction. "They are right. When she told you that it was over she meant that it is over between the two of you."
"I thought she meant that the conversation!"
Author's Notes:
1. Chapter two done! Gomen, it is soooo short. I'm trying my best not to babble too much. The characters might be OOC.
2. Gomen for wrong grammar and misspelled words. I'm only a sophomore and I hope I could finish this fic before my birthday!
3. Don't you just like it when someone is dense? Like Ryota-kun over there, trying to figure out what the conversation led to... You know....Please review! Commments? Suggestions? E-mail me at ayachan_ryota@yahoo.com.
