Whoops! I forgot the disclaimer! Tsk, tsk, tsk! Apologies to Inoue-sensei for using his characters without credit! Hehehe!
Slam Dunk is the creation of the great Takehiko Inoue. I'm only borrowing the cast for… about 10+ chapters! J
Chapter 3: Warm-up
Author: Mitsui no Miko
Upon arriving at the gym, he saw a flash of red go by and then stop abruptly.
"The stupid idiot has done it again!", he said.
Hanamichi was trying to make a slam dunk, but as usual, he ended up slamming into the fiberglass board of the hoop.
"Nani, Kitsune? You're just jealous because I look good doing that!", taunted the redhead.
And as usual, Rukawa turned his back on him.
It was better this way. Better to keep quiet that be reminded of his past.
Unknown to all except to himself, Rukawa fell for Hanamichi not a very long time ago. It started right after their first fight.
"What? How dare you turn away from the Tensai?", growled Hanamichi.
"Yare, yare, do'aho", was all he could say.
It was just now that Rukawa realized why he fell for Sendoh. He provoked him. He brought out his competitive side. He somehow managed to elicit Rukawa's interest. Just like Sakuragi did a long time ago.
They continued the rest of their warm-ups when the great doors of the gym opened to reveal a pudgy old man with silver hair and silver glasses.
"Anzai-sensei", they all exclaimed.
"Ohohohohoho!"
