Chapter 4: Arigatou
Yohei was right; Hanamichi Sakuragi is down at the riverbank. Akagi and the rest along with Veniz saw Hanamichi sitting down on the soft wet grass of the riverbank. He looked so sad and so depressed ~_~!
Akagi stepped forward and replied, "That red-headed fool!" Veniz stopped him and said, "No please! Let me handle this!" Akagi stared at her. Veniz smiled and replied, "After all I'm his sister!" with that she approached Hanamichi.
Veniz sat down besides Hanamichi and exclaimed, "I'm sorry brother." Hanamichi looked at her and asked, "Sorry for what?"
"I'm just sorry! Look, I know.I know I can't make you come back now brother. But I'll wait! I'll wait for you to recover! I'll stay with you all the way!" Veniz replied her eyes pleading.
"I knew you'd understand Veniz. Right now I had a new life.I just really can't go back.not just because.you know what. Also.I can't leave the team" Hanamichi replied looking at his team behind.
Veniz sighed and replied, "Oh yeah.basketball! I never knew you were good at it! You're always into racing!" Hanamichi grinned and replied, "Neither do I!"
"You're good you know!" Veniz replied. "Of course! I'm the genius Hanamichi Sakuragi!" Hanamichi exclaimed huffing up his chest. "Brother dear, you're funny as ever!" Veniz replied giggling.
Meanwhile, Kogure asked, "What the hell? They look like they're having a funny conversation!" Mitsui shook his head and replied, "Kogure.when you speak to Sakuragi, it'll be always a funny conversation. No doubt about it!"
"That's because he's a moron!" Akagi commented. "Oh brother you're too harsh!" Haruko replied.
"Wait! They're serious again!" Ryota replied.
Hanamichi stood up and said, "You're right Veniz.I'm still blaming myself." Veniz sadly replied, "It wasn't your fault!"
Hanamichi smiled weakly and replied, "You're so much like mom!" Veniz stood up saying, "And you're so much like dad! Brother.I lost dad." her voice trailed off.
"But you didn't loosed me!" Hanamichi replied facing her. Veniz shook her head saying, "I did lose you! You disappeared.I never saw you! I don't want to that to happen again! I lost dad.I don't want to lose you!"
Hanamichi smiled at her and said, "You wont!" Veniz hugged Hanamichi and replied, "Thanks brother!"
"No.thank you Veniz!"
