[Shohoku no Miko bows] Oh, as I have said in the ranting I made last chapter, this story ends on the nth chapter and n= my fave number, then this fic ends on the seventh chapter! [very Ryota-kun...]
Disclaimer: [For the last time in this fic] Slam Dunk is not mine, it's Takehiko Inoue's. I just wished that Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede, Sendoh Akira, Kogure Kiminobu, Koshino Hiroaki, Fujima Kenji and Miyagi Ryota are mine!!!!!!!!! [grins evilly]
The Search Is Over
by Shohoku no Miko
Chapter Seven: Back In Your Arms
"Doushite, Aya-chan?" Ryota's face lit up.
"Uh... Ano... Congratulations. You were good at the court." Ayako smiled.
Ryota felt delighted. It was the second time his Aya-chan smiled at him after they broke up.
"Ehem..." someone cleared his throat.
Everyone's heads turned to the direction where the voice came from.
It was Anzai-sensei.
"Since we won the ticket to the Inter High, I want to congratulate everybody for a job well done. Especially the five players who played the entire forty minutes of the game. Rukawa, Akagi, Mitsui, Sakuragi and of course, Miyagi, who made the winning shot. O-ho-ho-ho-ho." the old man laughed.
"It is beacause of this tensai that Shohoku won. Tensai of Basketball Sakuragi Hanamichi. Nyahahahahahaha!!!!!" Sakuragi started laughing.
"Do 'ahou..." Rukawa mumbled, loud enough to reach the "tensai's" ears.
"Nani? Baka, kitsune! Bakemono!!!" Sakuragi roared, ready to fight. But Mitsui held him back, thinking that Anzai-sensei might get hurt if collision occured.
"And since we won, I'd like to treat you all to the cherry blossoms festival to be held at the Enohana shrine tonight. It will be the last day of the spring festival and I see we haven't had enough time to loosen up. So be there in your best." Anzai-sensei ended his speech as the bus shook in jubilation.
Everyone felt happy. Everyone... including Ayako and Ryota. Not that Anzai-sensei is going to treat them tonight in the festival, but because they already exchanged words with each other since that terrible incident after practice occured. And this time, those words they exchanged were not meant to hurt.
"Oi, Mitchy-chan!" Sakuragi whistled, getting Mitsui's attention.
"Nani, Sakuragi?" he shot back, obviously annoyed at how the red-head called him.
"Are Ayako-chan and Ryochin talking?"
"Huh?"
"You know... Are they... together again?" Sakuragi smiled sheepishly.
"I don't know. I'm not sitting near them you see. We're at the back and they're up front. Baka!"
"Who is sitting behind the anyway?"
"Shiozaki, Yasuda and... Kogure." Mitsui finished as he turned his head to peek outside.
"Oi, Mitchy-chan! Don't turn your back on me! I'm still talking to you!"
"What IS it now?" Mitsui looked irritated.
"Why don't we set them up later in the festival?" Sakuragi smiled, flashing that confident smile he does when he performs a slam dunk or a common shot.
A smile crept up Mitsui's face. "Well..."
Anzai-sensei told them that they will meet at the school gates at exactly 7 in the evening. Everybody was there except a certain red-headed guy who would usually call himself tensai.
"Where's that Sakuragi?" Ayako, who was dressed in a red kimono and had her hair clipped at the back, asked Mitsui.
"I don't know. Maybe he overslept again, like he did when we had a game against Takezato." Mitsui's lips curved.
"Oh yeah, like when he slept in the street court and lost track of time..." Kogure added.
"Oi, gomen nasai, old man, I had trouble getting here!" Sakuragi waved from afar.
Rukawa sighed. "Do 'ahou. What do you expect from a do 'ahou?"
"Nani? Bakemono, kitsune! Bakemono!" Sakuragi fumed at Rukawa's words.
"Sakuragi, Rukawa, yamette!" Akagi roared, silencing the two.
"Now can we get going?" Ayako put her hands on her hips, pouting. "I'm tired of waiting already!"
"Hai, hai. Ikimasu!" Kogure announced, while Anzai-sensei made that signature laugh, the laugh only he can manage to do.
The whole team was walking to Enohana shrine, with Ayako leading the way.
"Oi, Ryochin!" Sakuragi called, just above a whisper.
Ryota looked back from his gaze on Ayako. His eyes still in hearts and his cheeks still flushed. "Nani, Sakuragi?" he asked.
"Why don't you escort Ayako-san the whole night?" Mitsui teased.
"Ah, Mitsui. You know we're not in speaking terms. Well actually..."
"Then go talk to her! Strike up a conversation! You know, compliment her wardrobe, talk about the game we had, anything! Just go talk to her!" Mitsui shot back.
"Or are you too chicken to talk to her?" Sakuragi remarked.
"Urusei, baka!" Ryota hissed.
"Then go!" Mitsui pushed him. He stumbled but managed to balance himself the moment he reached Ayako's side.
"Ano... Aya-chan... uh... uh... ano..." Ryota stuttered.
"Nandesuka?" she asked flatly.
"Uh... I like the kimono you wear!" Ryota looked back and saw Mitsui and Sakuragi urging him to talk with Ayako.
"Domo arigato."
A pregnant pause.
"Ano.. Aya-chan... don't you.. think the cherry blossoms bloomed late this year? you know like..." he was cut off when he saw Ayako nod in approval. He glanced back again, and saw Mitsui giving him a 'thumbs-up', and Sakuragi grinning like an idiot. He heaved.
"Do you mind if... uh.. ano... Aya-chan... if..."
"If what, Ryota?"
'Yokatta! She called me Ryota!' "Ano... eh... do you mind if we go together in the festival?"
"Oh I don't mind. We're already going to the festival together with the whole team."
"Iie. I mean... can we go to the festival... the two of us... together? Like... we aren't really going out with them?"
Ayako looked up into the starry sky, as if thinking. Then she looked straight ahead again, seeing the gates of the Enohana shrine which was already filled with people. "Well I guess so..."
Ryota beamed, like he grew a foot taller. "Arigato, my Aya-chan." he murmured as they went into the shrine.
"Look, Mitchy-chan, I think it's working!" Sakuragi nudged Mitsui, who was eating his dimsum.
Mitsui turned to Sakuragi. "Don't call me Mitchy-chan, will you?"
"Then if you don't want then I'll just call you with the other name you have, that is..."
"Okay, okay!" Mitsui grunted. "Call me Mitchy-chan but don't ever call me Hissy! I'm no neko, get it?"
"Hai, hai! But look at those two! They seem to be having a really good time!"
Mitsui looked up and saw Ayako smiling after Ryota shot the bottle for the upteenth time. She was already holding a chibi-majo doll in her left and a kawaii teddy bear on the right. "Looks like they do..."
"So what's our next plan?"
Mitsui thought hard. "Nah. Leave them alone. They will come together by themselves. It looks like they ARE together now. Just... leave them alone. C'mon, eat you dumplings or else I'll eat that!" Mitsui grabbed the dumplings Sakuragi was holding.
"Hey, that's mine!"
~Now at last, I hold you
And all is said and done
The search has come to an end
Our destinies are one...~
Ryota and Ayako did not notice that they isolated themselves from the group, now having fun in each other's company.
They stopped at the lake, the water reflecting the stars that are scattered in the dark sky. They sat down on a bench and went stargazing.
Silence hung between the two for about five minutes until Ayako cleared her throat. "Ehem... Ryota-kun?" she said, still looking up at the sky.
"Nani, Aya-chan?" he looked to her. She was awfully breathtaking, with the moonlight illuminating her like she was an apparition or an angel that fell down from the heavens.
An angel... that's what she was... and still is... to Miyagi Ryota.
"Don't you think the sky looks beautiful tonight?"
"Beautiful. Yeah, beautiful. Just like you, Aya-chan."
Ayako blushed. "Ryota, stop joking around, will you?" she said still looking up.
"Demo... I'm not kidding, Aya-chan! You can ask Sendoh, Fujima, whoever you want whether in or out of the team, they would say you are beautiful. You have always been, ever since the first day I saw you."
Ayako sat there, now looking at the lake.
"And I still love you, Aya-chan. You are not a debacle in my dream. You ARE part of my dream. My dream will never come true even if I become the greatest point guard in the history of Kanagawa. My dream revolves around you. I really, really, REALLY love you, Aya-chan." he put his hands on Ayako's shoulders and made her face him. She held her gaze low but Ryota lifted her face to look at her.
Sapphire met Hazelnut.
~So if you ever love me
Show me that you give a damn
To prove inside me
The man I really am...~
"Ryota, I don't know. I think you don't need me anymore." Ayako's orbs are now filled with tears.
"I need you Aya-chan. You are part of my systems already. You're like blood running in my veins. What can I do to make you mine again? Onegai, Aya-chan, I want you back. You are my weakness." Ryota wiped the tears falling down Ayako's cheeks with the back of his hand.
"Ryota... I have to tell you something." her voice became firm, her shaking came to a halt.
Ryota dreaded the next words he is about to hear. 'No, please, give me one more chance. Don't tell me that you don't love me anymore.'
"Ryota... Watashi... I still love you, Ryota." and she broke down, her lithe body trembling.
Ryota felt happy and scooped her into his arms. "Aya-chan... I love you... and I promise I'll never ever do it again."
"No, it was my fault. I did not understand you more. I looked like a thick-head making you choose between basketball and I."
"Iie. It was my fault. I did not see I was neglecting you and we were drifting apart already. Gomen, koi."
"Gomen nasai... koi." and she held his hand.
~I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world
That was just my style...~
Ryota engulfed her in another embrace. "I promise I'll never, EVER do it again."
"I believe in you. I also promise that I'll always understand you and stand beside you every step of the way."
"Yakusoku suru?" Ryota sat back to look at his Aya-chan.
"Un. Yakusoku suru." she nodded and traced the frame of Ryota's face.
Ryota entwined his hands with hers, and squeezed it as a sign of affection.
~When I touch your hand
I can hear you whisper
The search is over
Love was right before my eye...~
"So... can we go to my house?" Ryota asked.
"Doushite? I don't see anything wrong here in the festival." Ayako asked, bewildered.
"We could go watch a movie in my pad, cook food or if you want we could..." Ryota drew closer and whispered into Ayako's ears. "... sleep in my bed."
Then out of nowhere a tessen flew and whacked his head.
"Itaii!!" Ryota scratched his head as a lump formed on his forehead.
"Hmph! Ecchi!" Ayako stood up with her hands on her hips, her left hand holding the signature fan she used to whack the whole of team Shohoku.
"Aya-chan?! I was just kidding!"
Ayako smiled. That same smile she would give Ryota everytime they played jokes with each other.
That smile that took his heart with her.
That smile that she gave only to him.
"How come that fan is still with you?" Ryota pointed to the fan accusingly.
"To hit Sakuragi if he does a stupid thing, to hit Mitsui if he makes fun of me... even if he is a sempai and... to whack you in the head."
Ryota sweatdropped at her words.
"Ryota-kun, you're such a clown..." she sat down beside him on the bench once again. "... that's why I love you so much."
And they shared a passionate kiss, not minding Shohoku team who were watching from behind the bush.
"Aawww... Isn't that sweet, ne, Mitchy-chan?" Sakuragi turned to face Mitsui, but instead saw Rukawa smiling. "Oi, Kitsune, why are you smiling?" Sakuragi asked sheepishly.
Rukawa merely shook his head. 'It's a good thing you got back together, Ayako-san, Miyagi-san.' Rukawa thought, then walked away without looking back.

Author's Notes:
1. At last! My beloved fic finished! Nyahahahahahahahaha! [laughs like Sakuragi]
2. Gomen nasai, gomen ne, gomen [or however you say it...] for all the wrong grammar and misspelled words in all the chapters! I know I was wrong when I used "Lukawa" instead of "Rukawa' so arigato for the one who reminded me of it! I owe you one! Also, I know I spelled it "kisune" instead of "Kitsune" so another gomen for it!
3. Domo Argato Gusaimas, Thank you, Merci Beaucoup, Gracias, Xiexie, and maraming salamat to those who reviewed this fic. It helped me pursue finishing it. And sorry for the song, it's kinda sentimental. Actually I'm not sure about the lyrics in the last part, if you listen you could not understand it well. [or is it just me?] But it still makes sense, ne? ^_^;
4. Sorry for the sappy ending, I know that is not appropriate. But you know, I really enjoyed writing and typing this fic! And it's kinda kawaii if the two of them shared a passionate [READ: PASSIONATE] kiss in the end, after all the odds and ends... [awwwww...] And sorry if Anzai-sensei talked too much. I just thought that maybe if he doesn't speak that much, he will have bad breath, ne?
5. Again, thank you for all those who reviewed! This fic is dedicated to all my friends, KawaiiChibiTomoyo, Mihara Chiharu, Elvish Maiden 18, Syaoran no Hime, Fireblaze and to my dearest friend, MidoriTenshiSakura! [Look Elvish Maiden, MidoriTenshiSakura is my dearest friend!] ^_^
