The time has arrived! Shohoku vs. Kainan, everyone is excited especially Veniz who'll be doing a sing and dance number for an intermission before the game starts.
"I hope Shohoku wins!" Veniz replied, she was praying last night really hard for blessings. "They will Veniz!" Niki assured her.
Team Shohoku passed them, Mitsui winked at Niki as he passed by. Hanamichi gave a high five at Veniz. As Kaede passed them, Veniz called out to him, "Good luck Kaede!" Kaede turned around and smiled at her. Haruko notice this and thought, "Kaede smiled at her! But why?"
At the bleachers, Sendo, Uozumi, Fujima and Hanagata were seated anticipating the game. The emcee appeared and exclaimed, "Before the game! Let's have a sing and dance number from VENIZ SAKURAGI OF SHOHOKU GAKUEN to tune of I CAN'T GET OVER YOUR BEST SMILE!"
Veniz appeared with the Shohoku Cheerleaders dancing to the tune and then Veniz sang,
"Kyou wo kinou ni hakon de yuku ooki na yuuhi ni tsutsu marete Nagaku nobita kage te wo tsunai da kaerimichi no tochuu
Kimi no yokogao nozoki kon da awatete egao wo tsukuru kedo Matsuge ni nokoru namida no tsu bu wa mada kawakanai kana

Feel my mind; take my side sou soba ni irareru nara One more time yume wo mireru kara Kimi no namida kawakasu kaze ni naru yo tsuyoku naru
'Cause I can't get over your best smile isshoni arukou yo"
It was standing ovation! Veniz was gasping her breath but manage to say thank you! Boy dancing and singing at the same time is hard!
"Look at that, she's singing for me!" Fujima exclaimed. "In your dreams Idiot! She meant by me! She can't get over my smile you see!" Sendo replied coolly. Fujima wanted to clobber him if they weren't in the bleachers he would have.
"YOU FOOLS! SHE MEANT MY SMILE!" Kiyota cried at them. "SHUT UP YOU MONKEY!" Sendo and Fujima cried at him. "My Sunshine is singing about my smile!" Hanagata exclaimed looking dreamy. Sendo, Fujima and Kiyota punched him out of sight crying, "BAKERO!"
They didn't know, Veniz sang about Kaede's smile that she just can't get over with. Kaede didn't know about that but he knew that song was meant for him. "I'll give everything I got now!" Kaede thought full of energy.
The game started. Boy it was intense, so intense that it's like you'll need a thousand nails to chew on! Kainan was a great team. It was hard keeping up to them. Hanamichi was taken out of the game because Kiyota screening him out too much. Rukawa then took the game into his own hands, creating points for Shohoku! Then Akagi sprained his ankle! Talk about bad luck! Hanamichi is in the game again. He replaced Akagi as center.
Hanamichi showed Kiyota that he underestimated him. Boy he did! He scores great points for Shohoku in order to catch up to Kainan! It was amazing! Hanamichi is winning the game for Shohoku. But Rukawa won't let Hanamichi have the game to himself, he also scored that Kainan was now only 6 points up to them. Mitsui shuffled Rukawa's hair and exclaimed, "Way to go Rukawa!"
"Don't rejoice yet! We haven't won yet!" Kaede replied looking annoyed to what Mitsui is doing to him. Then Rukawa noticed someone. He made a fist and raised it high for that someone. Akagi is back! The Shohoku crowd cheered. Hanamichi smiled at Akagi and replied, "See? We managed without you!"
Akagi smiled. Then Hanamichi approached the referee for the jump ball and exclaimed, "Substitution!" Akagi was looked at him surprisingly. "You've sprained yourself. The jump might worsen your injury! It's much better if I do it!" Akagi was stunned. This is another side of Hanamichi you won't see everyday!
The jump ball started and Hanamichi jumped so high that he swapped the ball to the other side! Hanamichi ran after it but Kaede got there first. "Kuso! That Kitsune!" Hanamichi thought.
The game went on. Kiyota was getting desperate; he never thought Shohoku would be able to catch up to them just like that. "We must win! I must show my angel how good Kainan is! We will win!" Kiyota thought through gritted teeth. His eyes fixed on Veniz. She was looking worried.
"Heh! She's worried over me!" Kiyota thought then someone said behind him, "I know what you're thinking! Fat chance" It was Kaede Rukawa. Kiyota then looked at Veniz, she was staring not at him, not even to her brother but to RUKAWA! This pissed Kiyota! That's why when Rukawa got the ball; he then decided to screen him out.
"You're full of hot hair Rukawa! I'll show my angel that I'll beat you!" Kiyota hissed at him. Kaede then passed the ball to Mitsui saying, "She's not your angel!" Mitsui got the ball and shot a perfect 3-point shot!
"YOU'RE THE BEST MITSUI!" Niki cried jumping for joy. Mitsui winked at her and smiled.
"She's not you angel!" those words echoed thru Kiyota's mind. He could feel steam coming out of his ears. "RUKAWA!!!!" his mind screamed. Boy he is mad, really mad and insulted. He then guarded Rukawa again, "I don't get what you mean that Veniz is not my angel! She is!" Rukawa muttered to him, "I wont let you!"
Veniz's heart throbs madly as she saw Rukawa being guarded by Kiyota. "Rukawa.Kaede.why I'm sensing that something bad is going to happen to him?"
The game progressed, then suddenly Rukawa felt dizzy, "What's happening to me? I feel dizzy!" Then he heard Mitsui cried, "RUKAWA!"
He felt himself falling down, he then heard Kogure crying, "TIME OUT!"
"NO!" Veniz and Haruko's mind screamed. Haruko was rooted there and her hands clasped to her mouth. "Kaede!" she exclaimed tears staining her eyes. Veniz on the other hand dropped her pom-poms and ran towards Kaede in the middle of the court crying, "KAEDE!"
Kiyota, Sendo and Fujima stared at Veniz horribly as she cradled Rukawa's head on her knees. Veniz carefully slapped him on the face frantically saying, "Kaede-kun! Kaede-kun! Please open your eyes! ONEGAI!"
Kaede felt tear drops falling into his face; he carefully opened his eyes and saw Veniz's worried face, her eyes streaming with tears. Akagi approached him and asked, "Are you all right Rukawa?" Rukawa couldn't answer. He felt tired and he was breathing fast and deep.
Ayako checked his pulse and said, "You're no good condition to play right now Rukawa, you better rest!" Mitsui helped Kaede to his feet and aided him towards the bench. Rukawa sat down breathing hard, Ayako handed him bottled water and exclaimed, "I'm no doctor but looks to me you're dehydrated!" Rukawa took the bottle, opened it and drank all of the water in one gulp.
He then stared at Kiyota, he was grinning mockingly at him. "Darn! That monkey now has the aces!" Hanamichi then approached Veniz who had dried her tears and whispered, "I don't know what's happening between you and Rukawa, but I can see you're in-love with him!" with that he went back to the game that just had resumed.
Veniz was shocked to what his brother told him. "Me in-love with Kaede?" She thought looking puzzled. "What else girl? You wouldn't be worried over like him if you weren't in-love with him!" her mind teased. Veniz shook her head and saw Niki giving her thumb up sign. Haruko was staring at her with knives and daggers!
"Uh-oh wrong move girl!" Veniz thought sweat dropping. "Veniz!" Kaede called. Veniz turned around and saw Kaede with a towel on his head.
"Thank you!" he said flashing her a smile. Veniz blushed and replied; "You're welcome!" she then turned away thinking, "Oh dear.this is trouble!"
"She shed tears for me.Veniz thank you for caring!" he then stared at Kiyota who is eyeing him knives and daggers. Kaede smirked and said to himself, "Looks like I still have the aces Kiyota!"
Kogure replaced Rukawa in the game. Now with Rukawa out, Hanamichi has the game into his hands! ^_^! "We can't loose this game! This is Akagi's dream, we will win this game!" Hanamichi exclaimed running towards the basket. Maki was going to screen him out.
"I'm gonna dunk this ball even with that old man on my way!" Hanamichi cried in his mind! He jumped with the ball on his right hand aiming for a dunk but Maki was on to block his dunk! Kaede took off his towel, stood up and cried, "YOU CAN DO IT!"
Veniz cried, "GO BROTHER!" at the same time Haruko cried, "SAKURAGI-KUN!" hearing Haruko cheering for him, Hanamichi dunked the ball into the basket with such force, that everyone was shocked. But due to Maki's block, Hanamichi fell down after the dunk. Maki was given a foul.
Shohoku fans cheered. Niki and the Shohoku Cheerleading Squad the cried, "YOU GO JERSEY NO. 10! YOU GO! YOU GO! YOU GO! SLAM DUNK! YOU GO GENIUS! YOU GO GENIUS! YOU GO GENIUS! YOU GO SLAM DUNK!"
Hanamichi grinned, he made a fist, rose it high and cried, "WE'RE TOUGH!" Mitsui and Ryota the both cried, "YEAH WAY TO GO SAKURAGI!"
Veniz seeing Rukawa stood up, exclaimed, "Kaede-kun! Ayako told you to rest! Don't get yourself too excited!" Kaede sat down again sighing. Man he hate this, why did that thing happened to him anyway? Veniz then touched his hand and said, "Thank you for cheering on my brother!"
Kaede blushed at this but manage to say, "That won't happen next time!" Veniz just smiled at this. Then Kaede thought, "She's so close.if we weren't in this court with all this people, I would have grab her and kissed her!"
Veniz sensing Haruko's deadly stares at her, she took off her hands and said, "I'd better go Kaede-kun!" As she turned away, Kaede grabbed her hand saying, "Don't!" Veniz was shocked at this. She turned around seeing Kaede with those pleading eyes.
"Don't, stay here." Kaede said looking straight at her. "Why is he doing this?" Veniz thought as her heart melt and sat down beside him. Kaede could feel the icy glares of Kiyota, Fujima's knives and daggers stares at him and Sendo's death glare. He knew that Veniz's suitors wanted to kill him in that instant. But like he cares?
"NO!" Veniz cried as her brother passed the ball to Akagi-look-alike who was a player of Kainan. The Akagi-look-alike made a shot that made Kainan the winners. Hanamichi was shocked, he couldn't believe to what he did. They lost and because of him! Kaede was also shocked; he was gripping his fist and was thinking, "No! It can't be!"
