Miyagi : Okay, everybody! Hustle! This is it for today, you may be
dismissed.
The new captain, Miyagi Ryota, stated. Everybody except Rukawa left the gym and headed for the locker room to grab for their belongings. Rukawa kept on practicing on his shoots, and his lay ups, and other basic things.
Sakuragi : Kitsune, you're not going home?
Sakuragi turned to ask him before he left the gym. He was back from his therapy, and so as Rukawa, back from All-Star Japan training. Everything was back to normal now, except the third years had gone to universities, and there were new freshmen coming into the team. Both Sakuragi and Rukawa were now on their second year.
Rukawa : No…
Cold as usual, he replied shortly and went on to dribble his ball and stopped for a jump-shot. The red-head shrugged and left, while he waved smally towards his team mate. After a few shots, Rukawa felt he was exhausted. He looked through the door and find that the sun was setting.
Rukawa : I better get going… I can practice more tomorrow.
And so he left, with his bag and locked the gym doors.
He paddled his way to his residence, but as usual, he felt asleep and crashed with Sendoh Akira, who's known as his rival.
Sendoh : Kaede-kun!!! Are you okay?!
He snuggled out of the piece of metal that was lying over him. Rukawa was unconscious, his eyes was still shut. It seems like he was enjoying his sleep. The Ryonan ace moved his feet, and then the next thing he knew that he got a deep gash on his arm.
Sendoh : (face in horror) Oh no…
It was bleeding badly.
Sendoh : (voice raised in panic) Kaede! Kaede! Wake up!
Rukawa : *opens his drowsy eyelids* What are you doing? (He sat up and he realized that the Ryonan ace's chest was streched over his legs.) Get off me, hentai…
Sendoh : *stands up quickly and raised his hands* Sorry…
He felt blood trickled down his arms towards the tip of his fingers. He turned to Rukawa who was busy cleaning up his mess and his bike.
Sendoh : Kaede-kun… Kaede-kun… I'm bleeding, can I go to your house and tape it, cause it's a long way from here to my house. *cups the wound with his palm*
Rukawa : *turned his head to look at the gash on his arms* Where did you get that wound?
Sendoh : *shrugs* Well… You ride the bike with your eyes closed and hit me.
Rukawa : Did I? Okay you may come… *knelts and opened his bags and took a dry towel* Here, for now use it… I don't want you to drip the blood all the blood on the street
Sendoh reached out his hands to grab the towel, and tied it neatly over the deep scratch.
Sendoh : Arigatou…
Rukawa ignored him and kept walking with his bike on his side. Sendoh was walking on his back, smiling. This Rukawa he knew was always cold and ignorant about the life around him. But now he offered his towel to help to reduce the amount of blood loss.
When they reached the Rukawa residence, Sendoh looked up and found a humongous mansion, all painted in vanilla white and light salmon, with colorful flower beds on its large yards.
Sendoh : (amused) Kaede… you must be rich!! You live in this huge mansionn… wow…
Rukawa walked into his house and parked his bike in the garage and entered the main entrance, a huge and solid wooden door. Sendoh followed him quietly. Inside, it was all dark, and spacious, neatly decorated with high quality furnitures and its floor were carpeted bluish dark violet.
Rukawa : *points at a maroon sofa* Sit on the couch, I'll get you the first aid kit…
Sendoh followed his orders and sat, while Rukawa threw his bag down to the carpet and headed towards the large halls of the room that leads to another. He looks around, at the ceiling, the lamps and the paintings hung on the walls of the 4 sides of the room. It all looked expensive and rare.
Rukawa : *walks back and handed Sendoh the first aid kit box* There… What do you want for drink?
Sendoh : *shooks his head* nah, it's okay… By the way, where's the bathroom? I needed to clean this wound.
Rukawa points his fingers at a door, and quickly Sendoh walked over to the washroom with the box in his other hand. After a while he came back, with his cut all dressed up nicely in bandages.
Sendoh : Thanks, Kaede-kun… *hands the box back and bent down to grab his bag* I must get going… Ka-san and my little brothers and sisters are waiting…
Rukawa : *looks up and stare at him* Brothers and sisters?
Sendoh : Yeah… *shrugs* I'm the oldest in my family, I got 2 little brothers and 2 more sisters… It's kinda annoying, ya know… I hardly can finish my homeworks and assignments because of them… I rather live alone sometimes, where's your parents, Kaede? Got any bros or sis?
Rukawa : *looks down* I live alone, I'm the only child… My parents hardly ever came to Japan, they're busy working in America… That's why I wanna go there sometimes… It kinda gets lonely around here…
Sendoh : Oh… Well… sometimes I wished that I was all alone, too… I mean… I don't know… I'm kinda bored with this family thing, well, they gave me warmth, though… but keeps me out from finishing projects or other stuffs… And my family, since Tou-san's gone, I got to do some part-time work in order to help Ka-san keep up the finance around the family… The kids, they need money, ya know…
Rukawa was silent, how could he say that? For all these times Rukawa wanted to live in his house as a family, no longer alone. It was too cold living all by himself, and it sometimes get scary. All he ever think about before he went to sleep was that how is his parents right now. He longed to see them so much, that's why he dreamt to go to America to be a basketball player, not only to fulfill his dream as a professional but to settle there with his family too.
Sendoh : Oh well, I talk to much… I guess I should be going, now… Ja ne, Kaede-kun…
And then he left. Rukawa was still deep in thoughts, sitting down on the sofa in the living room, chin upon his hands.
Rukawa : Sendoh Akira… I wished I was you…
Meanwhile on the other hand,
Sendoh : Gee, I wished I was you, Kaede…
a.n : uhh… this chap suckss!! Rukawa really really sounds phony and fake, while Sendoh's being kinda rude and selfish… ~__~ flame me, I'm ready… :( Neways… continue plz :)
