Chapter 27: Ryonan vs. Kainan! Sendo vs. Kiyota!
Hanamichi was late for their game against Takezoto, but it didn't matter for Shohoku won. Akagi demanded why he is late and he explained that he did another 200 jump shots, he got so tired and overslept on the court he was practicing. With that he eyed Kaede and said, "I hope someone there told my sister about that!"
Kaede ignore him, no way he'll act obvious that Veniz slept in his house and to the mere fact she prepared breakfast for him and urged to have breakfast with her. He could still remember her sweet smile that greeted him that morning.
After their game, it was Ryonan vs. Kainan. You could see the intensity building up between the two teams especially with Sendo and Kiyota.
"I'll beat you Sendo and with that I'll win my Angel!" Kiyota bragged to Sendo. "Let's see about that!" Sendo exclaimed. Rukawa heard this could only muttered, "Jerks!"
Then he noticed Fujima in the railings. "The other jerk is here!" Kaede muttered to himself. Hanamichi then exclaimed, "Veniz is going to do the intermission again!"
"What will she sing?" Haruko asked. "Actually it's sing and dance presentation! She'll be singing and dancing to tune of Love a Riddle!" Hanamichi answered. "Love a Riddle? Hey isn't that one of your compositions sung by Kotoko?" Ayako asked. Hanamichi could only blush.
Everyone gaped at Hanamichi. Then the emcee appeared and exclaimed, "Before the start of the game let's have an intermission from Veniz Sakuragi singing and dancing to the tune of Love a Riddle!"
Everyone applauded and was crying "VENIZ! VENIZ!"
Veniz appeared wearing black shorts, red midriff and white rubber shoes. Upon seeing her short hair, Sendo, Fujima and Kiyota cried, "SHE CUT HER HAIR!"
Veniz smiled at the audiences and as the intro music blasted to the speakers, she danced along with the Shohoku Cheerleaders.
After the song, everyone applauded her and a huge banner appeared upon the bleachers saying, "YOU ARE SO HOT VENIZ!"
"Amazing how Veniz gained popularity here just by doing the intermissions!" Ayako replied in awe. Hanamichi beamed and exclaimed, "Of course! She's a Sakuragi!"
There's no argue about that, the Sakuragi twins do gain popularity on their own means and it is really amazing.
The game between Ryonan and Kainan began. It was very intense. Sendo tested Maki's ability and this irritated Kiyota. "That bakero! If he thinks he can beat Maki.. darn you Sendo! I'll beat the crap out of you!" Kiyota thought giving Sendo a cold stare.
Sendo saw this and thought, "This game will be ours and my Princess will be mine!"
The game progressed and Kainan is having a very hard time beating Ryonan. Hanamichi got pissed when he heard someone say that Kainan might loose over to Ryonan that would leave Shohoku to be in tight ends. He nearly clobbered the guy lucky Kogure stopped him. Hanamichi got his sport bag and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Akagi asked. "Where else? Out of here! I had enough!" Hanamichi exclaimed gruffly. With that he cried over to Kiyota, "Hey you wild monkey!"
Kiyota looked up and angrily exclaimed, "What?" Hanamichi frowned at him saying, "You better win this you idiot! Some guy just said that you're team is a loser!"
"You're nuts! You're team is the loser!" Kiyota cried. Hanamichi then exclaimed, "Believe what you want to believe you idiotic monkey, I don't care!" with that he left.
The game progressed; Sendo showed great skills and Kaede saw it all. Kaede stood up and said, "I'm going now!" Kogure then asked, "You too?" Kaede then said, "I've seen enough!" with that he left. Mitsui followed him saying, "I'll be going too now!"
"See you guys later!" Ryota exclaimed following Mitsui. Akagi grumbled, "Those idiots! They don't know now how to act like a team!"
Outside of the stadium, as the three walked, Ryota was thinking, "If Sendo's position is still Point Guard in our game, what am I going to do?"
Mitsui
"Our chance of winning depends on how we do on the game."
Kaede
"I'll beat you Sendo Akira!"
Meanwhile, at the stadium Veniz and Niki decided to leave too. "Brother left.. I think he went back to Shohoku to train more!" Veniz replied picking up her bag. "Are you sure? How about Kiyota and Sendo?"
Veniz blushed and said, "Niki! That's not important right now! And besides I feel odd today! It's like something bad is going to happen!" Niki sighed and said, "All right!"
Sendo and Kiyota didn't notice that Veniz left they were so into beating each other. Meanwhile, in that audiences, Akagi was called by a usherette and told him he has a phone call. The next thing we see is Akagi, Ayako and Kogure boarding a taxi. Coach Anzai had an attack and he's in a hospital. Haruko called and informed him.
In the hospital they saw Hanamichi standing in front of the hospital room of Coach Anzai. "Sakuragi!" Akagi exclaimed, "How's Coach Anzai?" he asked worriedly.
Hanamichi turned around, tears forming in his eyes. This made the three more worried, "Sakuragi tell us!" Kogure demanded looking very worried.
Hanamichi didn't respond and ran away from them. Akagi, Ayako and Kogure rushed inside the room, finding Coach Anzai's wife telling them that Coach Anzai is now safe. Akagi sighed and said, "That red headed monkey, he scared us!"
Sakuragi reminisced the death of his father while walking back to Shohoku gym.
"Dad! Dad! DAD!"
How he hated himself that night. He arrived in the Shohoku gym finding, Mitsui, Ryota, Rukawa, Niki and Veniz. "Brother are you all right?" Veniz asked, sensing sadness in Hanamichi.
"Coach Anzai had an attack!" Hanamichi answered.
"WHAT?" they all cried. Mitsui grabbed Hanamichi by the collar and shook him and demanded, "What did you do this time Sakuragi?"
"Nothing I was just training!" Hanamichi answered. "Lucky I got him into an ambulance!" Ryota then said, "That's not the point!"
Mitsui exclaimed to him, "Dammed you Hanamichi!" Hanamichi then said, "Lucky I did something to save Coach Anzai! Unlucky me for I wasn't able to do anything to save my father from dying!" with that answer, Mitsui loosen his grip.
Ryota was dumbfounded. Veniz was red in anger now and exclaimed, "I can't believe what I'm hearing! It's not my brother's fault! Why do you guys keep on blaming on him?"
"I'm sorry Veniz-chan!" Ryota mumbled. Niki sighed and exclaimed, "Yeah right! All of you are like that! The lot of you!" with that she stomped out of the gym. Mitsui followed her.
"Niki!" Mitsui called after her. "Are you angry at me?" he asked. Niki turned around and said, "What do you think?" "I don't believe this!" Mitsui exclaimed. "You're mad at me because."
"Because you accused Hana for something he didn't do!" Niki exclaimed finishing off his sentence. Her voice was cold and hard. Mitsui frowned and said, "I'm sorry if I hurt your Hanamichi!"
Niki sighed and exclaimed angrily, "He's not my Hanamichi! What make you think that?" Mitsui shrugged and said, "Well, to what I see, you're so angry because of what I did!"
"Mitsui! Hana is my best friend! I grew up with Veniz and Hana! I know Hana like Veniz know him! Of course I would be angry to those who misjudge my best friend!" Niki exclaimed angrily then she cooled down and noticed something. She then asked, "Are you jealous of Hanamichi?"
Mitsui blushed and said, "What?" Niki approached him and said, "You're jealous!" Mitsui looked down and said, "Loose that thought Niki!" Niki hugged him and said, "Idiot! You're my boyfriend and Hanamichi is a friend, there's a big difference! You don't need to be insecure of him! You know you're still my number one Mitsui-chan!"
Mitsui hugged her back assuring her, "I know that Niki-chan, I just don't like you mad at me! I'm sorry!" Niki smiled and kiss him slightly on the lips saying, "I forgive you, you cute Mr. MVP!" Mitsui laughed and held her hand and said, "Common, watch me train!"
Back in the gym, Hanamichi was practicing his jumps shots. To make up to what he did, Mitsui offered to help him. Ryota and Rukawa did too. Hanamichi was not pleased at first that Kaede is going to help him but Veniz gave him an eager smile and he obliged.
