Author's Notes: Damashi is japanese for spirit, I think. I got the name from playing Thousand Arms, it's a game in the Sony playstation. Anyway, there is yaoi content here, so homphobics, beware.



Maki shook his head as he tried to ignore the sounds coming from the front part of the bus. They were going on a trip to a mountain resort as a reward for all their hard work. To pass time, some of them players decided to sing some songs. Miyamasu, to be precise. He may be a great shooter but singing was not one of his talents. He should habe brought his ear mufflers with him.

Jin grinned at Miyamasu trying to sing Hanamichi Sakuragi's song, 'Ore Wa Tensai.' It was a very hilarious scene and the spectacled boy seemed to be enjoying himself as well. He peeked at his best friend who was clapping his hands with glee.

"Kiyota, why don't you take over Miyamasu? I'm sure he's already tired from singing." Jin suggested, loud enough for everyone to hear. He could see Maki raise one eyebrow. That certainly caught his attention. He knew that his captain found the young rookie adorable.

Kiyota didn't hesitate to take over the mic. He started singing 'Yellow Monkey's Tactics' from the Rurouni Kenshin soundtrack. Everyone, with the exception of Jin, was surprised at the wonderful voice Kiyota had. No one expected him to sing so well. After the song, he received a thunderous applause.

"Thank you, thank you." Kiyota said, bowing at his audience. "What do you think Maki-san?" Jin asked, turning to look at his captain. Maki knew that the second year was baiting him. He smiled and answered, "It was amazing." Kiyota blushed as red as a tomato. He was in heaven. He admired his captain so much that he would do anything just to hear his praises.

The fun continued with Miyamasu trying to teach them how to dance. "Sway your hips like this!" he explained and swished his right hip. Everyone chuckled and tried to do the same. Maki shook his head and just continued watching from the back of the bus. He saw Kiyota trying to do the exact same movement. The rookie looked so sexy. "I wonder if he would do a lap dance for me." he muttered to himself. He looked at his window to stop himself from having thoughts like that.

Kiyota glanced at Maki's direction when he felt eyes on him. His sempai was not looking at him, though. He sighed and tried to concentrate on dancing again. Jin smiled softly. They were eyeing each other. That was good.

The bus suddenly stopped. It jolted everyone and they went out of balance. After recovering, they wondered what happened. The driver appeared and explained the situation. "I'm afraid that the tires have hit something sharp. I can fix it but it may take some time. However, the resort is just a few miles from here. You could all just walk or wait." The players wanted to wait but Maki strongly suggested they walk. After all, he didn't want his members to go out of shape.

Jin grinned as he watched his best friend drag his suitcases along the path. It was bad luck that Kiyota brought a lot of things with him. Now he was going to have to bear the weight all the way to the mountain resort. He thought he ought to lend a helping hand. He approached his best friend and helped him carry his things. He stole a glance at his captain and nearly laughed at the struggle of emotions going on in his captain.

Miyamasu groaned. They have been walking for so long now. The sun was almost setting and the woods didn't look very friendly. The trees were towering above them, almost blocking out the sunlight. He jumped when he heard a hooting sound. "Hoo-hoo!" Apparently, he wasn't the only nervous one in the group. A lot of them were also shaking by now. He glanced at his friends. He wondered if one of tem had sense to bring a flash light?



Sakuragi Hanamichi was nervous. It was already getting dark but there was stll no sign of the mountain resort. Only creepy shadows and glowing eyes seemed to be everywhere. He scolded himself mentally. His imagination was running away with him again. Trying to bring his mind to reality, he banged his head on a tree. Akagi heard a banging sound and looked behind him. He lowered his eyelids and decided to ignore his red headed teammate. He knew better than to analyze Sakuragi's antics.

Kogure understood Sakuragi. He knew what was going on in the man's mind. In fact, he felt like banging his head on the trees to, but he kept his fear inside him. He adjusted his glasses and brought out a flash light. He prided himself in being prepared. He had to be calm. It wouldn't do the team any good if he started running around in circles, crying out for help. That was really what he felt like doing now.

Ayako grinned. She thought that this was so exciting. A trip to a mountain resort, courtesy of Anzai-sensei. A reward for all their hard work and tough training was needed. The bus broke down and they had to walk. She imagined all sorts of crazy adventures they may have. It was bound to be an exciting trip. The name of the resort was also curious. Damashi Mountain Resort, the damashi stands for spirit. She didn't have anything to fear at all. After all, there was Ryo-chin and she trusted him enough to protect her.

Mitsui looked back and forth. He let his instincts take over him, just in case something unexpected happens. He walked casually behind his best friend. He wanted to protect Kogure. There was something lurking around in the woods, he felt it. He was glad that Kogure brought a flash light with him. Trust Kogure to be prepared.

"Do'aho." Rukawa muttered as he watched the red head bang his head contionously on the tree. This was getting tiring. Sakuragi stopped and narrowed his eyes at him. At least, he stopped hurting himself. Now, an argument will begin. "Temee Kitsune!" Sakuragi shouted. Another fight began and they continued bickering as they walked along the woody path.

"Shh!!!!" Ayako hissed. She was getting a headache from all their insult throwing. PAK! PAK! The two players rubbed their heads. "It's a good thing I come prepared." she remarked as she folded her paper fan back into place.

"Aya-chan, you still brought that with you?" Miyagi asked. The manageress smirked and nodded. "One has to be prepared at all times." she answered. Miyagi smirked back and continued daydreaming again.



"What was that!?" Hikoichi asked nobody in particular. He was getting goosebumps from being in the woods for so long. Their bus had broken down and Uozumi said that they might wait or walk. Of course, the captain wanted to walk. Sendoh wanted to do as well and Koshino was Sendoh's best friend so naturally, they would be together. Fukuda and Ikegami were also walking. Hikoichi was always taking down notes so instead of staying safely in the bus, he decided to join his sempais as well. Boy, was he regretting that now.

Sendoh noticed their manager's discomfort and casually draped an arm around the young lad. "Daijobou Hikoichi, there's nothing to be afraid of. We're almost there." he assured him. "That's what you said an hour ago." Koshino muttered. "We've been walking for exactly one hour, thirty minutes and nine seconds now." Hikoichi said as he looked at his small note pad. It was his treasure and he brought it with him everywhere he went.

"It's getting cold as well." Ikegami remarked as he shivered. Fukuda was expressionless as always and didn't say a thing. Uozumi narrowed his eyes and stared at his map again. According to it, they should see crossroads up ahead. That would mark that the resort was already near.

"There they are." Uozumi said, pointing to the crossroads. Sendoh smirked. "There! See Hikoichi, we're almost there." Koshino frowned. "That's thrice you've said that." he muttered. The Ryona captain turned to look at them. "Sendoh is right. We're almost at the resort. Just a few more minutes or so and we'll see a large sign with 'Damashi Mountain Resort' written on it. "

"I'm hungry." Fukuda said to no one in particular. He began thinking of what food to order for dinner. "They better have sushi, sashimi...California maki....Teriyaki...." Enumerating food kept Fukuda busy. Ikegami decided to sing the ABC's just to help him forget about the creepy shadows lurking about behind him.

"Hey look! It's Ryonan!" The team turned around and saw three figures approaching them. They were from the Shoyo team. "It's me! Fujima Kenji from Shoyo!" Uozumi stopped walking and welcomed the marvelous coach cum captain of the green clad team. "What are you three doing here?" the Ryonan captain asked. After explaining that their bus broke down and they decided to walk, the two teams travelled together.

Hanagata frowned as he watched Hasegawa hang around his best friend like a lost puppy. He didn't trust the player's actions and he made him uneasy. He feared for Fujima's safety. Keeping a close eye on the two, he walked along silently.

Hikoichi was much more relaxed now. They were more in number and he felt protected somehow. He pulled out his notepad and started taking down notes on the Shoyo team. It might be useful for future team preference.



"Finally! Damashi Mountain Resort!" four captains said at the same time. They all turned to look at each other. "What're you doing here!?" they asked, together again. It took a lot of explanation but they finally understood.

"I can't believe that this is happening! What a coincidence!" Ayako exclaimed, hitting her own head with a paper fan. Hanamichi didn't see it the same way and surrounded the other captains. He suspected that they heard of Shohoku staying at the mountain resort and decided to send spies on them.

"Do'aho." Rukawa muttered and his eyes grew wide when he noticed a certain spiky-haired player with the smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes and became suspiscious. He may take advantage of Sakuragi. He made up his mind to be where Sakuragi was at all times. Rukawa wasn't the only one feeling jealous. Miyagi was also feeling envy as well. His Aya-chan automatically went over to the Ryonan side and started chatting with their manager Hikoichi. He casually walked over and stayed at Ayako's side.

"Kami-sama! It's Miyagi Ryota of Shohoku!" Hikoichi exclaimed. He always admired the point guard. Taoka-sensei told him to observe the point guard very well. After all, both of them weren't very tall like Sendoh or Akagi. Miyagi instantly forgot his jealousy and broke into a smile. Ayako shook her head. She knew that Ryota was probably soaking up all the attention.
