Chapter 5: Insights
Days have past; Veniz Sakuragi was an instant heartthrob. She was beautiful, smart and very talented. It was hard to believe that she is the twin sister of Hanamichi Sakuragi. The redhead moron! But everyone was very surprised to see the different side of Hanamichi when he's around Veniz. He was a very loving and caring brother!
"Hey Veniz, stay after school! I want the both of us to go home together." Hanamichi called after Veniz. Veniz waved back at him saying, "Anything you say brother!"
Ryota gave Hanamichi a strange look. Hanamichi noticed this and asked, "What's wrong Miyagi?" Ryota answered, "Nothing.it's just.are you the real Sakuragi Hanamichi?"
Hanamichi made a peace sign and exclaimed, "Of course I am! I AM THE GENIUS SAKURAGI HANAMICHI! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Rukawa passed him saying, "Odahou!"
"What did you say kitsune?" Hanamichi barked. Rukawa could only sigh. Mitsui showed up and said, "Hey you three! Akagi wants us in the gym in 30 seconds!"
"Now what that gori wants from us?" Hanamichi asked. Mitsui shrugged his shoulders.
Meanwhile in 1-1, Haruko approached Veniz and asked, "So are staying after school?" Veniz nods here head. "That would be cool! The basketball team always has a practice after classes! You want to watch?"
"I always watch the practices Haruko!" Veniz replied. "Really? So what do you think about Rukawa Kaede?" Haruko asked blushing.
"Oh you mean the guy in jersey 11? He's really good and according to my brother he is his rival!" Veniz exclaimed. "Well they are!" Haruko replied uneasily. Veniz sensed this and asked, "You like Kaede don't you?"
With that question, Haruka blushed deeper. "Got ya!" Veniz exclaimed grinning. Haruko then exclaimed, "VENIZ! YOU SLY!"
The last bell ran Haruko and Veniz hurriedly ran towards the gym. Ayako greeted them, "Hello there Veniz, Haruko!"
"Hello Ayako!" Haruko and Veniz greeted together. "Oh wow! They have started early!" Haruko exclaimed. Ayako smiled, "actually they have been training since the start of the class!"
"What? You mean, they didn't attend any class?" Veniz asked in surprise. "Yes! Akagi wanted the team to train harder starting today!" Ayako replied jotting down details.
"But why?" Haruko ask. "Team Shohoku has a game against Muradai a month from now. They had to be ready for that! You know Akagi's goal.to get into the Nationals and win the championships!" Ayako replied.
Veniz stared at the players in the court. If they have been training since the start of the class, they must be tired but to Veniz's eyes they weren't. Veniz's eyes focused on her brother, who made a pass to Kogure.
"My brother is really into this!" Veniz replied in her mind.
"Good shot Ryota!" Ayako exclaimed. Ryota blushed and replied, "Ayako- chan!"
"Ryota Miyagi.he is short but he is fast and a good point guard. He's somehow like brother. He is nice and a good friend of brother, no wonder they got along so well!" Veniz thought as she saw Hanamichi made a high five with Miyagi.
The ball went to Mitsui. Mitsui made a 3-point shot that made the Sakuragi gundam cried, "Way to go Mitchy!"
"Mitsui Hisashi.according to Ayako, he was an ex-gangster! He had awful past and now he's making it up from neglecting the team by joining the team once again and creating points for Shohoku! Wow! He's a true MVP! And cute too! I can see he is one of the best of Shohoku!" Veniz thought in awe.
Akagi gave Mitsui a pat at the back saying, "Doing great Mitsui" Mitsui grinned. Then Kogure did a lay-up.
"Kogure.he's a good vice-captain. He supports Akagi's decision. He has high respect both for Akagi and Mitsui. What a guy!" Veniz thought.
Akagi manage to screw the ball away from one of the players and made a dunk. Veniz's went sweat dropped.
"Now I know why he is called gori! He's a tough guy and really strict! And what a dunk! I can't believe he's Haruko's older brother!" Veniz pondered looking at Haruko then at Akagi.
Then like wind, a figure passed her. Veniz followed that figure that was wearing a jersey number 11. The number 11 made a lay-up that made the girls scream in the court, "RUKAWA!!!!!"
"Rukawa Kaede, Shohoku's ace! The Super Rookie.My brother's rival! He is really good! He's also quiet. Too quiet. He seldom speaks, and much more of it.he's such a loner!" Veniz thought staring at Kaede.
"Kaede." Haruko whispered blushing. Hanamichi saw this and frowned and muttered, "That stupid fox!" Kaede and Hanamichi eyed each other. Sparks flew. Then suddenly, wind gushed in.
Hanamichi stared were the wind blew and noticed Veniz standing besides the entrance of the gym. Veniz waved at him. Hanamichi could only smile.
Kaede's eyes stirred to Veniz's position. "It's Sakuragi's sister!" Kaede thought. Veniz noticed that he was staring at her. She then smiled at Kaede. Kaede blushed and turned away.
"Her smiled.its." he thought.
"Nice training guys! Let's call it a day! Tomorrow, we'll be training until evening!" Akagi exclaimed. Hanamichi heaved a sigh as he approached Veniz.
"Boy you looked tired!" Veniz replied. Then an idea struck her. "Hey guys! Don't go home yet! What is I treat you all for an ice cream?" Veniz exclaimed.
