2 years have passed since Hisashi Mitsui's death, Meis Sakura promised to
herself that she wouldn't love anyone else in her whole life. Mitsui always
appears in her dream and that's the only way she can communicate with
Mitsui.
One night…
Mitsui: Meis, I have been wanting to tell you this, you shouldn't punish yourself because of me.
Meis: What do you mean?
Mitsui: You should be always alone because of me.
Meis: I'm not alone, your always here with me. You said that to me at the…
Mitsui: Now, now. I know what I have said. But now, I know that I can never be with you forever like the time when I was alive.
Meis: What do you mean?
Mitsui: I can't give you the happiness guys can.
Meis: What? You are my happiness. I don't need anyone else.
Mitsui: Please Meis don't make this hard for me. I'm still here for you.
Meis: I know that. That's why…
Mitsui: There's a lot of guys courting you and waiting for your reply. I don't want you to turn me down just because I'm still here.
Meis: Mitsui…
Mitsui: Please Meis. I'll not talk to you for awhile.
Meis: Mitsui! No! I can't survive not talking to you.
Mitsui: You will Meis, you will…
The next day…
Sendoh: What's the matter Meis?
Meis: Mitsui's gone.
Sendoh: I hate to break it to you but Mitsui's long gone.
Meis: No he isn't! He's always there for me until now.
Sendoh: What happened?
Meis: He told me to continue on to my life…
Sendoh: That's right. You should. So are you going to answer that kitsune or what?
Meis: It's not that easy Akira…
1 year has passed since Mitsui's death, Rukawa started to realize that Meis was really beautiful and started to court her even though she's in college and he's in high school.
Sendoh: I don't know what you mean.
Meis: It's not that simple to forget about Mitsui.
Sendoh: What's hard with it? You hardly knew the guy.
Meis: It's difficult.
Sendoh: How much time did Mitsui gave you?
Meis: He didn't say…
Sendoh: Get on with it Sis!
Meis: Huh?
Sendoh: If that's what Mitsui likes why not right? Do you want to make him happy?
Meis: Of course!
Sendoh: Then do what he said. Find a guy. You've got lots of suitors!
Meis: You sure?
Sendoh: Of course!
Meis: Help me out if I need it?
Sendoh: I'll be right here.
Meis: Thanks Akira!
They reached their university…
Sendoh: So, will you give Rukawa the thumbs up?
Meis: I'll think about it. (She gave off a smile)
They walked up too their classes.
After school…
Sendoh: Want to check out your old school's basketball team?
Meis: No way!
Sendoh: Drop dead serious sis!
Meis: Let's go!
Sendoh drove them to Shohoku High…
Meis: I miss this place!
Sendoh: When's the last time you went here?
Meis: Graduation Day… without Mitsui.
Sendoh: Cut it off sis! You're giving me the creeps!
Meis: All right!
They walked towards the gymnasium…
Meis: I miss this place…
Sendoh: You haven't been here since the day…
Meis: Yeah. But me thinks I'll be hanging here a lot more often now…
Sendoh: You mean???
Meis: Yepz!
Sendoh: All right!
Meis: You mean you've been rooting for him all these time?
Sendoh: Can't say…
Meis: Akira Sendoh!!!
Sendoh: Hey! Hey! (He ran and avoided ever blow of Meis)
They reached the gym…
Sendoh: Stop! Here we are!
Meis: Yeah, here we are… *Gulp*
Sendoh: You nervous?
Meis: Why should I be nervous?
Sendoh: Because the captain of Shohoku basketball team, the coldest hunk around except for me is going to be yours?
Meis: Of course not! And who says you're a hunk?
Sendoh: Oh, a lot…
Meis: I haven't heard that!
Sendoh: tsk, tsk… You're late sis!
They entered the gym…
Meis: /I think I'm going to faint!/
Sendoh: First time?
Meis: No! Of course not! I've been here twice!
Sendoh: With Mitsui…
Meis: …
Rukawa: Meis-chan!!! Sendoh-kun!!! How nice of you to drop by!!!
Sendoh: How's the team going?
Rukawa: Fine, of course except for that baka- self-proclaimed-tensai… (Gave Sakuragi a nasty glare)
Rukawa: Meis-chan! How's my favorite angel?
Sendoh: Better check on with Anzai-sensei. Be back sis!
Meis: Wait!
Too late! Sendoh left them alone.
Rukawa: How are you Meis-chan?
Meis: Still alive.
Rukawa: So, can we go somewhere tonight?
Meis: What?
Rukawa: Come on! It's been over a year! Is it a rejection or an acceptance?
Meis: … (She looked at Rukawa for a long time and asked herself) /Am I ready?/
Rukawa: Well…?
Meis: *sigh* Yes.
Rukawa: Yes!!!
The whole gym looked at Rukawa as he jumped and shouted so loud.
Rukawa: Sorry… (blushed) Can I call you Meis now?
Meis: Call me whatever you want sweetie.
Meis changed!!!
Rukawa: All right! Shall we go somewhere tonight Meis?
Meis: Sure!
Rukawa: All right!!! I'll end the practice now. Wait for me darling.
Meis: Right.
Rukawa left and Meis was alone. She sat down.
Mitsui: I'm glad!
Meis (whispers): Mitsui!
Mitsui: Glad you picked him. I could trust him.
Meis: You're still here!
Mitsui: Of course! I told you I'd be here forever.
Meis:…
Mitsui: I don't blame you for being speechless. Just don't be too sweet.
Meis: Hey, you can't tell me what I can do now.
Mitsui: Just kidding! Well, I'll be able to rest now! I'll be right here when you need me Meis!
Meis: Right Hon…
Mitsui left as Rukawa went back.
Rukawa: Sorry it took so long…
Meis: No, it's ok. Really…
Rukawa: Where shall we go?
Meis: Anywhere.
Rukawa: You hungry?
Meis: A bit.
Rukawa: good! I'm famished! Let's eat!
Meis: Lead on!
Rukawa brought Meis to a restaurant. Fancy yet simple in some way.
Rukawa: Is this fine?
Meis: It'll do.
Rukawa: I'm sorry if I can't be like Mitsui…
Meis: No, it's ok.
Rukawa: I promise I'll do my best to make you happy angel.
Meis: I would like that…
They ordered.
Meis: How's the basketball team?
Rukawa: It's ok. Things are going fine. How about your time in the university?
Meis: It's fine. Things couldn't get better.
Rukawa: Meis, …
Meis: Huh?
Rukawa: You don't mind do you?
Meis: Mind what?
Rukawa: Having a younger guy?
Meis: No, I don't mind. At least now I have someone I could take care of.
Rukawa: No, you don't.
Meis: Huh?
Rukawa: I'll be the one to take care of you…
Meis was shaking. She didn't know that Rukawa was this romantic since all he sent her were flowers, chocolates, letters and stuffed animals. She didn't expect that once she made a commitment with him…
The night ended…
Rukawa: See you tomorrow angel?
Meis: Sure.
Rukawa: Would you mind if I'm the one who'll stop by you university tomorrow?
Meis: Sure, I don't mind.
Rukawa: Good night Meis…
Meis: Good night Rukawa.
Meis went in. Rukawa was disappointed he didn't get a kiss.
Rukawa: /maybe next time…/
One night…
Mitsui: Meis, I have been wanting to tell you this, you shouldn't punish yourself because of me.
Meis: What do you mean?
