All I have is the ringtone of Slam Dunk in my cellphone, an eraser with Hanamichi smiling on it, a stationary with Hanamichi dribbling the ball and the game Slam Dunk 1, 2 and 3 in my personal computer.

The Search Is Over
by: Shohoku no Miko
Chapter 6: Woo-hoo! Go Ryota!
The whole gymnasium was jam-packed with basketball fans- some for Shohoku, some for Kainan, a little minority for Mitsui and Sakuragi, and not to mention-
The
Ru.
Ka.
Wa.
Brigade.
The team entered the gymnasium and the crowd cheered. The Rukawa girls shrieked and squealed in delight upon seeing their oh-so-gorgeous Rukawa Kaede.
At the sight of the ever-loyal fans club of the blue fox Ayako cringed. 'God they couldn't get any worse.' she thought.
Team Shohoku went on the floor to practice. As usual, Ayako, Kogure and Anzai-sensei sat on the bench. They watched as Kainan entered the court and proceeded to their shooting practice.
And in a flash, ten minutes of practice went by and it is time for the game to begin.
"Ohayo Gusaimas, minna-san. Before we start the game, let me introduce the first five of both teams." The announcer said. "For Shoho-" the announcer was cut off by a man approaching, bearing news with him. The man whispered something to the announcer that made him smile. He glanced at the Shohoku bench and grinned.
Ayako noticed this. "What's going on? Why is he smiling like an idiot?" She asked Kogure, who smiled at her- the same smile that the announcer did when he glanced at the Shohoku bench.
"Before anything else we have here an important announcement going out to... Ayako..." the announcer smiled again, this time at Ayako.
"What the hell is going on in here?" she asked Kogure.
"Listen, Ayako-chan! They have a message for you." Kogure stood and left her sitting alone on the right side of the bench.
"I'm really sorry for what I have done. I'm willing to do anything you tell me just as long as you forgive me. Aishiteru." the announcer said.
The whole gymnasium cheered while Ayako blushed. 'Who so ever pulled that prank on me?' she asked herself.
And as if on queue, the announcer finally said: "From Miyagi Ryota of Shohoku Basketball Team..."
The spectators howled so loud upon hearing what Ryota wanted to say to Ayako. Even the fans of Kainan cheered for Ryota and Ayako.
Just then Ryota came up to her and gave her a piece of paper neatly folded. The people cheered louder upon the sigth of this, while Ayako and Ryota turned red. [as in REALLY red]
And so the announcer proceeded introducing the teams, with Ryota having the loudest cheer from both sides, the crowd yelling "Ayako!".
As the whistle signaled the start of the game, Ayako finally managed to open the note Ryota gave her.
Aya-chan,
This game is dedicated to you.
I will win this game for you.
I will defeat Maki.
But even if we win, my dream will not be complete.
This dream is for you and without you,
it will never come true.
Watashiwa anato aishitemasu.
Zutto...
Ryota
~Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highways lead me back to you...~
Ayako went teary-eyed after reading the letter. "Ryota-kun..."
Kogure sat beside Ayako. "You see? His dream will only be a dream even if he becomes the best point guard in Kanagawa. You are a part of his dream. Once when we talked he told me that he'd exchange being the top point guard for a lifetime with you. That's how deep his love for you is."
"A, sempai. You really want me to cry more, ne?" Ayako's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Kogure smiled and handed her a handkerchief. "Ayako-chan, I did not. I just wanted the two of you to be back at each other's arms."
"Arigato, sempai." and they watched the ongoing game.
Kiyota held the ball and dribbled it as he ran to the goal of Kainan. And out of nowhere Ryota snatched the ball from him and ran towarads Shohoku's goal. As he passed on the benches of Shohoku the team cheered.
"Go Ryota!"
Ryota was startled as a female voice cheered for him. "Aya-chan?" He asked himself, and took a glance at the benches. "Aya-chan!" He smiled when he noticed Ayako at her feet, cheering him on like she did the previous years. His earring sparkled.
Ayako felt the heat rise to her cheeks when Ryota smiled at her. That handsome face with a piercing at his left ear just had that great effect on her.
Soon halftime arrived. The score was 35-37 in favor of Shohoku. Everybody in the team felt victorious albeit it was only a half that was finished.
Ayako sat at the edge of the bench, listing something on her file. Ryota was sweating like crazy, but as Ayako looked up their eyes met. Their gaze seemed like forever, until Mitsui pounded Ryota.
"Oi, Ryota! You're drooling at Ayako-chan again, ne?" Mitsui joked.
"No I'm not!" said a flushed point guard.
"Oh yeah right, Romeo. Go stare at your Juliet until the buzzer goes off." Mitsui walked away from Ryota, who can't help but stare at his Aya-chan.
Ayako loked up again and their eyes met. This time, Ayako smiled. "Go... Ryota!" Her eyes sparkled.
"Aya-chan..." his cheeks turned red and he smiled back. "Hai!" and off goes the buzzer, starting the second half.
Soon the game ended, leaving basketball fans breathless. It was indeed a lucky day for Shohoku, because they won by one point. Who could have guessed that they would win after being down by three in the last five seconds?
[Okay, okay, I think I hasted the story. Here's what happened.]
Maki held the ball like crazy, smelling victory ahead. He dribbled slowly, feeling proud for entering the Inter High for the 19th year straight.
The clock ticked twice, 8 seconds to go. Maki stopped just outside the freethrow line, still dribbling.
Seven seconds, and Shohoku struggled to extend the game into overtime.
Six seconds, and the ball was still at Kainan's side.
Five seconds, and out of nowhere Ryota snatched the ball from the MVP's hand and dashed to the other side.
Four. He stopped right outside the rainbow line, preparing for a shot.
Three. Maki caught up with him easily, stopping him from making the shot.
Two. Ryota took off, releasing the ball just in time Maki hit his wrist.
One. The ball was still in mid-air, leaving everyone's eyes on it, following where it is headed to.
The buzzer sounded while the ball travelled to the hoop.
Swak.
The ball went into the basket, rimless. Maki cursed as he fouled Ryota when he released the ball. Ryota jumped into the air with Mitsui. Everyone in the gymnasium shouted, some surprised, some delighted.
Ryota came to the free throw line to make his free throw. The referee handed the ball to him. He tossed it first, then looked at the Shohoku bench. The freshmen were at their feet, praying that the ball will enter the goal, Kogure-sempai clutching his fists tight, Anzai-sensei sitting there just smiling.
And there was Ayako. She was standing, staring straight at him. Her deep blue eyes smiling at him.
As they held their gaze, Ryota mentally noted to himself that the shot he is about to make is for his Aya-chan.
He dribbled the ball, and released it, the ball travelling around the rim before going inside.
The whole team was overjoyed. Kainan looked like they took the defeat way too seriously, the crowd siding Shohoku screamed and shouted, while the Kainan forces sat there, awestruck.
The whole team are in the bus now, still feeling happy about the match they won against the number one team in the prefecture. Everyone including Ryota, who gets to sit beside his Aya-chan once again.
Ayako sat silently, controlling herself. 'What will I do?' and her mind pondered, then her senses agreed. "Miyagi-san?"
"Doushite, Aya-chan?" Ryota's face lit up.
Author's Notes:

2. Gomen, gomen and gomen for all misspelled words and wrong grammar. As of presstime I'm also watching Gatekeepers and I just find Ruriko a.k.a Rurippe very kawaii! So that's why I don't know if I'm typing things right.
3. I'm also sorry for the OOC-ness of the characters. I'm trying to make this fic more realistic, cause somehow their feelings are similar to mine.
4. Domo Arigato Gusaimas for al those who reviewed the previous chapters! And I promise, the next chapter will be out very, very soon!
That's because I will finish this fic before my birthday!
