Okay!! Or should I say, YEHEY!!! Today's the day where our Ryota finally asks Aya-chan out. :) What do you think will or should happen. Please R&R. Thankyou.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is it…Ryota Miyagi said to himself. Not only was this the day of the big game against Ryonan but also the day that he will finally ask Ayako. Her Aya- chan *sigh* He couldn't believe himself that the day would finally come that he would have the courage to ask Aya-chan out. Many times he tried, but the words just came out of his mouth or the things he said just completely came out as a joke.
" No wonder, Aya-chan doesn't believe me… but now.. I'm gonna prove it to her that this time, I, Ryota Miyagi, no. 1 point guard, yes! No.1 point guard, will ask Aya-chan out. But first, I must beat Ryonan, so that Aya-chan will be so happy that she'll have to say yes…Hahaha!! This is the perfect plan on a perfect day " Ryota said to himself, laughing as he got ready for the big game.
"Hey Ryouchin!! What's with the smile?? Did Ayako say yes??? " Hanamichi, jokingly said as he got ready himself for the game too.
"If you only knew, Hanamichi!! Aya-chan will say yes… Aya-chan should say yes.." Miyagi wanted to say to Hanamichi but opted not to, considering the embarrassment that Hanamichi could create. I should'nt take a chance with that so-called tensai
Miyagi's thought were interrupted when Akagi came into the locker romm and…
"Lets go Shohoku!!! Let's Beat Ryonan"
"IKE!!! SHOHOKU"
During the first half of the game between Ryonan vs. Shohoku, Ryota was so inspired by what Ayako said in yesterday's practice "I trust you Ryota" recalls Ryota. Ryota smiles to himself. Ryota was in perfect condition. With sheer determination, he steals the ball and runs in full speed with Hanamichi and Rukawa closely behind him. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sendoh appears in front of him ready to take on the challenge. But Ryota is confident.
You all think, all I can do is pass, run fast, and shout directions, well, it's not the only thing I can do…Sendoh!! I'll beat you!! …. Aya-chan, I hope your trust carries me through this as I make this shot… here goes…
With lightning speed, Ryota dribbles the ball, passes Sendoh and lays-up the shot…. The crowd is silent… the ball goes in.. and the crowd goes wild.
"You thought you could beat me, Sendoh!"
Praises are thrown everywhere for the unbelievable play that Ryota did but for Ryota, all he could hear was what Ayako said Nice play, Ryota. Ryota smiles to himself. Hope you'll be happy with me too later Aya-chan when I ask you out. But for now, concentrate on the game first. And the game continues..
After the Buzzer sounded, cheers and hurrahs come from the Shohoku team. They now finally have the ticket to the Inter-high, at last!! The team all went to Anzai-Sensei to report the wonderful news. Everyone was so happy that after the hospital visit, that they did not notice that Ryota already left…
Should I do this? What if it changes everything. No! I've waited a long time ago to have the courage to ask her.It doesn't matter if she'll say no, but of course, I hope she says yes… I guess, I love her too much that I'm willing to take a risk..
" I better do this fast before she returns to her house…aaarrg, what should I do?? How can I make this special?? Should I shower her with gifts and plead on my knees..naahh..I already did that and I know for a fact that it didn't work…What? How?When…. Somebody help me!!!" Ryota shouts to the world, not a thought where he would go and what to do…
As the sunset was coming to view, Ayako was now beat. From the game, from all the excitements and talking, more than ever she was now ready to go home. As she was tired, more than ever, she can't imagine how the players were dead tired now.
" They must be beat. They deserve the rest that they could get. Everyone played their roles. Even, Hanamichi. Haha!! Until now, Hanamichi never fails to amaze me on the things he could do. Definitely, everyone was at their best. Ryota, played well too. I'm really happy for him esp. when he made that shot against Sendoh. He was incredible. Oh, Ryota… Ryota?? RYOTA!!!!"
There on her doorsteps, sleeping like a baby was Ryota Miyagi, holding 3 red roses, her favorite.
Ryota, awakened by Ayako's shout suddenly jerked up from where he slept. He suddenly felt nervous. From the time, he left the hospital up to his way to Aya-chan's house, He was feeling sad since he still wasn't able to come up with anything special to do but eventhough, he was determined to talk to her, to win Aya-chan… Now that Aya-chan was in front of him, he suddenly became speechless… Aya-chan, you're so Pretty..kawaii…
"Aah, hi.. Aya-chan… Go-men. Go-men. I didn't see you coming.. I guess I was just tired that I fell asleep. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, I won't do it again. Sorry..Sorry.."
"Hey Ryota, hold it. I'm not mad. It's okay really. I know you must be tired. This just came as a surprise. Umm…Ryota.. aah
I just have to tell you that..that you were really great in the game.." Ayako said, trying not to meet Ryota's eyes.
"You were great too, Aya-chan. You're always great to me. Ummm… I know when I say it, you would think that I'm just joking like you think I always do. But believe me when I say it…ummm..ahh.. I forgot…umm. These are for you…I'm sorry if that's the only thing I could give to you..please accept it…" Ryota, not daring to look at Aya-chan's eyes, hands her the roses. Please accept it..please accept it..please…
"Arigatou, Ryota… these are beautiful… I appreciate this…but why??"
"Umm…Because the beauty of the roses reminds me of you…hihi….WAIT!! That's not what I want to say…Please forget what I said earlier… I just don't know what to say, what to do right when I'm with you…You're someone that makes me feel special. You are special. Your not just beautiful, but the way you inspire me with your encouragements and your support, makes you even more beautiful to my eyes…I just want to get to know you more…ummm…. I know I said too much… its just that… I'm just happy and thankful that I've met someone like you... someone like you, Aya-chan…" Kima ga Sukisa, Aya-chan. Miyagi wanted to add but he did not have THAT enough courage…
Ryota, never imagined that the day would come that he could finally say his feelings to Aya-chan. Though he wasn't able to tell her everything, he was happy and at the same time, relieved that at least he didn't throw up from nervousness, but instead, he felt as though, this was right, everything felt right.
"I really don't know what to say, Ryota. Why did you tell me all this??"
I forgot to tell her that I want to ask her out. Baka!! baka!! I'm starting to get nervous all over again. I should do this now or I'll never will…
"Aya-chan, I hope that this comes out right. I'm meaning to tell you this, from the first time that I saw you, from the first time we've met, I knew that you were the one, that I was in lo…well…ummm…I hope you say yes.. because Iwantyoutogooutwithme…I mean…aaahhh… Aya-chan, Will you go out with me?" Whew!!! There!! I've finally said it. What will it be Aya- chan??
"Huh…ahh…ummm" Ayako didn't know what to say, much less react…
"Ummm..Aya-chan??? ..I think this is the part where you say your answer…"
What do you think? I hope the story didn't come out too long… I'm sorry.. but please do share your comments and suggestions thru your review..please. I'll really appreciate them...thankyou very much :) … until then….
