Disclaimer: Slam Dunk and its characters do not belong to me.
Author's Notes: I wanted to end this story the way it began, with the focus on Shika and Seiko.of course, I couldn't leave out the new relationship - Rukawa's here as well. Hope you like this one!
Replies: Nellie: Hope you'll find this equally sweet..
Keax-XV: yeah right, and I have alien sisters from outer space. ___ enjoy the reading!
"I really love you, Seiko," she whispered as she hugged the dog close to her.
Satomi Shika. The girl whose dog had given her the gift of a life closer to that of a normal girl.
She sat on her bed, Seiko next to her, munching away at chips and listening to the radio. The school holidays were here again, and she could hardly wait for her trip to the United States. She would be raising funds again.
This time, though, would be different.
Rukawa was coming along.
Rukawa stood at the window, looking at the aeroplanes on the taxiway. Soon, he and Shika would be flying off to America. The country of dreams. His dreams.
He relished the thought of stepping foot on American soil, where the basketball legends reigned. NBA glory was what he was aiming for. This time, though, he would set aside his lofty dreams for a moment, and instead, use his talents for a different purpose.
Fund-raising.
It was joint project between Shika and the Japanese Youth National Team. The boys wanted to play in America. And Shika wanted to uphold her commitment to fund-raising. Hence, they came to America to do both.
It would be a learning experience for all of them.
A girl and her dog approached the boy at the window.
Her long hair was in a ponytail behind her head, and she smiled brightly.
Rukawa turned around, and greeted the girl he had come to know so well, "Hi, Shika-chan."
Not forgetting Seiko, Rukawa knelt down and patted the dog's head. The faithful guide dog, in turn, gave Rukawa's hand a lick.
They boarded the plane, drawing interested glances from passengers. It was not everyday a bunch of tall Japanese young men escorted a beautiful girl with an equally beautiful dog.
Seiko's expression never changed: it remained in a human-like smile.
Perhaps he did know. How much he was needed and cherished.
Author's Notes: *inhales deeply* big announcement: this is the last chapter. *exhales, then gasps as a mixture of fruits and vegetables are thrown*
Anyway, I really had a great time writing.hope you had an equally good one reading! ___ I've started on a new Slam Dunk fic as well, to keep me busy.so I hope you'll continue reading my other fics, 'kay?
Meanwhile, while I churn out more stories from my overactive imagination, click that button and tell me what you think.do you smell a sequel coming up or are you just relieved that this story's ended?
Arigato gozaimasu for reading! Ja, and I hope we meet again in future stories, dear readers!
