Back at Sendoh who's waiting patiently at his table, he looked across and
noticed Miyagi and Ayako, sitting facing against each other. He stared at
them blankly and sighed.
Sendoh : (to himself) Hey that's Shohoku's new captain, huh? With his girl? *sigh* I think she's taller than him…
He leaned back against his chair and looked at the grey ceiling and realized that his stomach had been grumbling for food. He's very hungry, he needs something to eat badly.
Sendoh : (in his head) Where's Kaede, what took him so long? *looks at the que line* Oh dammit… I guess I'll have to wait for another hour or so… *sigh*
Rukawa : Hey…
Sendoh : *shocked and surprised* Huh?! *sat up straight abruptly* Hey I thought you're gonna be back in another hour… I never thought you make it so fast.
Rukawa : *shrugged* Whatever… Now here's your lunch… *hands the food tray to him*
Sendoh : *accepts it and placed it on the table* Uh… Thanks… You don't eat?
Rukawa : No… I'm quite full… I guess I ate too much of Chizu's cooking this morning…
Sendoh : *freeze* Chizu cooked breakfast?
Rukawa : *sigh* I don't know… Your mom's not coming home because she got urgent business, and I can't cook anything, so she helped me…
Then there was silence between the two lads. Sendoh continued to eat his meal, while Rukawa was watching him eat like a pig. He can tell that he was very hungry. Well, he could understand, since there was nothing to eat in his house except for some canned food.
Rukawa : Tell me, Sendoh… Why did you gave me the name 'kawaii mayu?'
Sendoh : *still munching and eating like a barbarian* You wanna know why? (speaking while his mouth is full) Well… I can't gave the name Sendoh Akira to the administration… Well, I just don't wanna quit from Ryonan yet…
Rukawa : *sigh* Well.. At least you could've give me a better name…
Sendoh : Well… At first the name that crossed my mind while talking to the administrator on the phone was Sakurazaru Mayu… (note that zaru means monkey and sakura means cherry blossom)
Rukawa : *sweatdrops* Okay… kawaii's better…
Now his mind, his brain, his hands were focused on the food tray that he was working on. Haruko who was passing by happened to spot the two among the crowds of the Shohoku High students.
Haruko : My… I think Rukawa-kun has find himself a friend… *smile while blushing* And his friend is cute too…
Sakuragi : Ha… Haruko-san!!! *blushes and laughs like a moron while scratching the back of his head*
Haruko : Oh hi, Sakuragi-kun… *smiles*
Sakuragi : How's your day, Haruko-san?? *smiles widely like a horse*
Haruko : Umm… Mine? Well… It went out fine… I heard you got into trouble this morning, Sakuragi-kun… Are you okay now?
Sakuragi : *frowns, and then smiles again* Well… Umm… I'm out of it… (voice softer) but I still wanna hit that bastard so bad…
Haruko : Umm… Pardon me, Sakuragi-kun? Did you say anything..?
Sakuragi : *jumps a few step back* Aaa.. No, no, Haruko-san… *laughs*
Haruko : Hmm… I'm glad… Anyways… At last Rukawa-kun got himself a suitable friend, didn't he?
Sakuragi : Kitsune? *looks towards where Haruko was looking* Aaaa!!! That jerk!!!!
Haruko : Well… I think he's a new student… I heard he's from your class too, Sakuragi-kun… Have you met him? His name is… Kawaii… M… Mayu right?
Sakuragi : Yes… (voice kinda annoyed)
Haruko : He's cute and tall too… The two would probably be the most appealing person that girls in this school would get their eyes on… I wonder if he can join the basketball club, it'll help… He's as tall as you, right, Sakuragi-kun?
Sakuragi : *feels hatred rise to the top of his head* (softly) Ano yarou… *puffy steams coming out from his ears*
From the edge of their eyes, Rukawa stood up to go buy some drinks for himself and Sendoh. He went towards Sakuragi and Haruko, who were standing just beside the drinks booth.
Sakuragi : (hissing) Teme…
Rukawa : *looks at Sakuragi with bored eyes* What, Do'aho?
Haruko : My my… He sounds like Rukawa-kun…
Sakuragi : How dare you say that to the tensai!?!?!
Rukawa : Tensai this, tensai that… Whatever… Are you trying to make problems again, Do'aho?
Sakuragi : *fist clenched and was raised in the air* Urusai! (shut up)
Haruko : *gasped in terror* Sakuragi-kun!!!
And the next thing everybody saw was that Sakuragi hit him once more in the face. Rukawa touched his bruise gently with his fingers and his eyes were burning in revenge. He hit him back, hard, leaving Sakuragi panting for breath on the floor.
Rukawa : (in his head) Darn… This is exactly like the first time we met…
Sakuragi : Temee!!! *immediately stoods up and pushed him until he fall and hit a few tables and chairs* I'm going to kill you!!!!!
There were blood coming from his forehead. It seems that it was wounded by a piece of broken glass or other sharp objects that he had hit.
Haruko : *jumps between the two with her arms spread wide* Stop it, Sakuragi-kun!!!! This is enough!!!!
Sendoh : *still chewing* Oh boy… Here goes another fight *watched the match from his seat* Ganbatte, Kawaii-kun!!! *smiles wide while he waves his hands in the air*
Some students : Wow… This is the first time I ever heard Rukawa shout out like that…
Another student : He's been acting strange today… And.. And he's been smiling too many times…
More student : And look, that new guy rather acts more like Rukawa…
One more student : Kami-sama… Is the world alright today??
Sakuragi : *stares sharp at Rukawa* I'm gonna make you so dead…
Haruko : (voice rised in temper) Sakuragi-kun… It's enough! Stop this nonesense!!! *turns and pulls out a handkerchief, wipes the blood from his Rukawa's face*
Rukawa : I'm okay… *stands up and ignored Haruko*
Sakuragi : *pissed* How dare you treat Haruko-san so impolitely!?!?!? Shineeeeee!! *leans forward to hit Rukawa, and bulls eye, Sakuragi hit him on his stomach*
Haruko : *mouth wide open, stares at Sakuragi* Kawaii-kun!!!! *rose to help Kawaii gain his balance* Sakuragi-kun!!! *stares at him with sharp eyes, cutting his heart deep* I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sakuragi : (in a trembling voice…) No… not again… Haruko-san… h-hates me…
So then Sakuragi bawled like a baby in the canteen, while Rukawa was helped to the doctor with his arms around Haruko's neck. Sendoh was taking a final bite of his delicate lunch.
Sendoh : (to himself) Hey that's Shohoku's new captain, huh? With his girl? *sigh* I think she's taller than him…
He leaned back against his chair and looked at the grey ceiling and realized that his stomach had been grumbling for food. He's very hungry, he needs something to eat badly.
