Ice Queen 2 - The Girl Who Healed Sendoh Akira
A/n: This story is written out of a brainstorm that I had just gotten, it's on an experimental stage.
Disclaimer: I don't own Slam Dunk.
A/n: Shoyo and Kainan are said to be private schools, so, I assume only rich people entered those two, and so, Maki, Fujima, Kiyota and all the basketball players in both school must have come from rich families, hence, Maki's luxurious car in this story.
Summary: Sendoh's third year. A new girl entered Ryonan. Sendoh wanted to know more about her, due to her startling resemblance to the girl that rejected him. Sequel to Ice Queen.
A/n: Bits of OOC, as usual...

Chapter 2
"I've made up my mind!" Anina said to herself. "I'll be the manager for the basketball team."

After school...
Anina walked to the school gym with Koshino side by side.

"I can't believe that you'll be our new manager." Koshino said to Anina, shaking his head, smiling.

They entered the gym. At once, the Ryonan players were dumbstruck. Who was this girl that just walked in the gym with Koshino? She was beautiful beyond words.

"Taoka-sensei," she greeted, bowing to the coach of Ryonan High. "I would like to take over the position as the new manager, please."

"Ah, Takuya Anina, the principal informed me about you, and yes, I accept your request to be the new manager," Taoka-sensei said. "Boys, this is our new manager, Takuya Anina."

"Konnichiwa, just call me Anina," she said.

"But, sensei, I'm the *manager*!" Hikoichi protested.

"You need to improve if you want to play, Hikoichi, do you or do you not want to be on the same level as Miyagi Ryota, who's as short as you?" asked Taoka-sensei.

Hikoichi nodded in reply, his face crumpling, in defeat.

"Today, we are recruiting new members for the team, there's the freshmen," Hikoichi informed Anina. Anina nodded, scanning the new intakes.

"Assemble! Freshmen," Sendoh commanded, with his arms akimbo. "Introduce yourself and tell what position you play in Junior High."

Some of the freshmen are tall, some are short, but one guy, overshadow them all. He's about 190 cm tall, and only a first year.

"That guy sure look like Sakuragi-san, ne? Sendoh-san?" Hikoichi asked.

"Yup, he sure does, except the purple hair, and the attitude." Sendoh answered.

The guy introduced himself...

"Yutaka Hanamichi, 188 cm tall, my position is power forward, and I'm the tensai of Wako Junior High." he boasted.

"I take that back." Sendoh said. "He even has Sakuragi's name."

"Sakuragi?" Anina asked.

"Here's the report on Sakuragi, Anina-san, I've compiled all these last year," Hikoichi answered, and gave his little notebook for Anina to see. "He's one of the talented players in Shohoku, and he only started playing basketball last year!"

Anina thought, 'perhaps Onii-chan knows him, I'll just check him out from Onii-chan.'

Another freshmen took the highlight as well, but due to his name...

"Taoka Ito, 183 cm, my position is small forward, Tomigaoka Junior High." He shouted.

"Related to you, sensei?" Koshino asked Taoka-sensei.

Taoka-sensei nodded, and answered. "My nephew."

"He doesn't look like you, though," said Koshino. Taoka Ito has dark blond hair, and a pair of icy green eyes. "Nor does he look Japanese, sensei."

"His mother's a Eurasian." Taoka-sensei answered, looking proudly at his nephew.

"Okay, freshmen will play against each other." Sendoh commanded. He put Taoka in team A, and Yutaka in Team B. It's not so long after the start of match, both Taoka and Yutaka made excellent moves on the court. There seemed to be a rivalry between them.

"Your team seemed to be fiery this year, Sendoh," Anina pointed out. "Those two freshmen are good."

"But I wonder what kind of players are Shohoku recruiting this year," Hikoichi said, as Sendoh nodded.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Hikoichi, every Sundays, you'll have to take my place, because that's squash day for me." Anina said.

"Ok!" Hikoichi said brightly. He preferred to write the reports about his teammates rather than playing anyway.

"Are you in the squash club, Takuya?" asked Taoka-sensei. "You know you couldn't be in two clubs at once, right?"

"No, sensei, I'm just playing squash for fun every Sundays."

Taoka-sensei nodded in understanding.

Both Yutaka and Taoka then made it into the starting members.

At the end of practice...
"Can I walk you home, Takuya-san?" asked Sendoh.

"I'm sorry, my onii-chan's giving me a ride home, as usual." she answered.

Sendoh's face fell.

A red sports car entered the school compound, and sped towards the gym.

"Well, there he is, see you, Sendoh-san." she shouted, and ran towards the car.

Sendoh was curious about Anina's brother, he had never seen Anina's brother before. Even at this close, he still couldn't see who is Anina's brother, thanks to the heavily tinted windows.

"She turned down your offer, eh?" asked Koshino.

"Yeah." Sendoh answered sadly.

"Don't worry, Sendoh, a day will come when she wants to walk home with you." Koshino said.

"Hey Kosh, I thought you want to be with her too," Sendoh replied.

"Nope, I just wanna flirt with her yesterday, nothing more, and make you angry," Koshino answered. "Just one thing, remember that she is not Amyza, she's a totally different human being,"

"I know, Kosh, I know." Sendoh replied, shaking his head sadly.
*********
In the car...
"I saw Sendoh talking to you." Maki noted.

"He asked me if I wanted him to walk me home, onii-chan." Anina answered.

"So, you are the new Ryonan manager, eh?" Maki asked.

"Yup, and don't tell Jin-kun about it." Anina replied. Jin Soichiro has replaced Maki as the captain for Kainan.

"I won't, but probably I'll tell Nobu-kun." Maki teased.

"Not that big mouth!!" Anina answered wearily.

"How'd you know Nobu-kun is a big mouth?" Maki asked.

"He used to be in an exchange program in Liverpool Junior High, remember?" Anina asked.

Maki nodded.

"Liverpool Junior High and Ashton Public School are rivals in sports, this is during my squash days. One day, I was going to play against a girl from Liverpool Jr. High, her name is Amyza Heidi, if I'm not mistaken, but somehow, I sprained my ankle, but of course, I didn't want anyone to know about it, but Nobunaga happened to saw me wrap the band-aid outside the court, and so, told everyone, including the teacher about it."

"And so, Amyza won by walkover, right?" Maki asked. "Because there's no one to take your place…"

"Exactly! If that idiot had shut his mouth, I'd be playing squash that day, and probably win." Anina answered angrily. "By the way, why are you calling him Nobu-kun?"

"He's like a little brother to me, even though his attitude is very similar to Sakuragi Hanamichi." Maki replied, chuckling.

"Oh yes, who's Sakuragi Hanamichi? Hikoichi and Sendoh mentioned his name a few times during practice and Taoka-sensei cringed when he heard Sakuragi's name."

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is the spark plug of Shohoku team, he's an unpredictable beginner. He learned how to play basketball in three months."

"Sugoi!"

"That's not all, Nina, he even learnt 'under the basket' shots in a week, if I'm not mistaken, and learnt 'long shots' in a week or two, don't remember much, basically, he has the talent for basketball, I could take you to Shohoku now, if you want, but I don't know if he started playing already,"

"According to Hikoichi's notes, he's in rehab due to a back injury,"

"Oh yeah, that's right… Thanks for reminding me."

"And by the way, there's this freshman, he's 188 cm, he's from Wako Junior High, according to Sendoh and Hikoichi, he acts just like this Sakuragi guy."

"Really, including the very loud annoying laugh and calling himself a tensai?"

"He did call himself a tensai, but he hasn't laughed yet, and his name is Yutaka Hanamichi."

"I pity Sendoh, he got another crazy guy in his team,"

"Crazy?"

"Well, Sakuragi called himself a tensai, Nobu-kun called himself a 'super rookie', both Kainan and Shohoku has different guys who acts the same, has the same no. on their jersey, and the only difference between them is one is from Kainan while the other's in Shohoku, and their hair
colour,"

"Well, I don't know if Yutaka are going to do the same thing as that idiot, Kiyota, but he certainly looks like someone who could make me angry."

"He will, just wait and see." Snickered Maki, driving towards their home.

End of Chapter 2 - please read and review.

A/n: This chapter is all about Anina finding out about the top teams in Kanagawa; mainly Shohoku, Kainan and Ryonan.

A/n regarding beautiful people: I'm sorry to say this, but guys *generally* are attracted to beautiful girls. If we think of Sendoh as a real life guy, he'd be attracted to beautiful girls, he even has that flirty smile. The beautiful girls aren't necessarily so beautiful, they are just beautiful enough to catch everybody's eyes. Think of Ayako - Ayako's beautiful, she's very smart, but the only flaw she has is that, she got a nasty temper, but, the nasty temper are due to Miyagi and Sakuragi's behaviours, and so, we could say that Ayako is a perfect girl, in a way. Haruko is beautiful too, and her flaw is that, she's so damn slow. That's the girls in Slam Dunk. In Fushigi Yuugi - Miaka's flaw is that,
she eats a lot, and yet do not gain weight, and she's sometimes foolish, while Yui, her flaw is not trusting her best friend, and trusted the evil Nakago. In Vandread, Dita's flaw is that; she doesn't know how to express how she loves Hibiki.
