Chapter 38: Sayonara Megami-sama
The very next day, Team Shohoku left for the summer camp leaving Hanamichi under the training of Coach Anzai.
"Be back in a week sweetie!" Mitsui replied winking at Niki. Niki gave him a flying kiss and said, "I'll be waiting!"
Ryota grinned at Ayako and said, "I'll miss you Ayako-chan!" Ayako raised an eyebrow and said, "You'll be just gone in a week Miyagi!" Ryota pouted at this. Ayako then exclaimed, "But thanks, I'll miss you too!" Ryota smiled.
Rukawa approached Veniz and replied, "When I come back, I'll win you over Fujima, Hanagata and Nobunaga. I promise you that!" Veniz could only smile and say, "Take care Kaede-kun!"
After Team Shohoku left, Coach Anzai spoke to Hanamichi.
"Sakuragi!" Coach Anzai replied. Hanamichi replied, "What is it old man?"
Coach Anzai gave him a serious look and said, "The training I'll give you will last for a week only. You have to create 200, 000 jump shots within the week!"
"200, 000 JUMP SHOTS?" The Sakuragi Gundan cried along with Veniz and Niki. "Well Sakuragi will you accept it?" Coach Anzai asked.
Hanamichi smirked and said, "Of course old man! I'm going to make a 200, 000 jump shot within the week and when I'm done you'll be saying that I'm really a genius!"
"Man you're crazy! That's impossible! How would you do 200, 000 jump shots in a week?" Yohei demanded. Hanamichi answered, "I'll do it Yohei! Starting right now!"
Veniz picked up a ball and replied, 'Let's go Onii-chan! Let's not waste time!" Hanamichi nod his head. Veniz slipped into shorts, T-shirt and rubber shoes. She's going to help his brother train.
Niki shrugged her shoulders and said to the Sakuragi Gundan, "Looks like we'll be helping as well!"
Coach Anzai smiled at Ayako and said, "Looks like my plan is going to work." Ayako nod her head and said, "Yes Anzai-sensei!"
Hours passed, Hanamichi trained for his 200, 000 jump shots with the help from his sister, Niki and his gang. They were so occupied with it they didn't noticed a guy entered the Shohoku gym. Donning a pair of jeans, black shirt and a Shoyo jersey jacket.
Ayako coming out from the girls' locker room spotted this guy and replied, "Fujima Kenji!" Fujima saw her and smiled.
"Hello there, you must be Ayako-san!" Fujima replied approaching her. Ayako smiled back and asked, "What on Earth a Shoyo player like you is doing here?" Fujima stared at the court and said, "I need to speak to my Goddess"
Ayako sighed and said, "I'll get her!" with that she approached Veniz and mentioned that Fujima wants to talk to her.
"Nee Kenji-kun!" Veniz replied running towards him. Fujima smiled at her. "Doushite Kenji-kun?" Veniz asked. Fujima's eyes saddened and said, "I hate to do this. I don't want to hurt your feelings but, but, I have to set you free my beloved Goddess!"
Veniz stared at him questioning and asked, "Naze Kenji-kun?" Fujima took a deep breath and said, "The song Veniz, the song you sang in the Ryonan vs. Shohoku game. you were talking about me. when I heard it, I knew, I knew you've chosen someone else. and it's not me!"
"Kenji-kun, gomen ne." Veniz replied not looking at him. "It's Rukawa right?" Fujima asked. Veniz didn't answer the question but Fujima knew. "It's all right. I'm gonna be okay, a new love is popping through." Fujima replied with a smile.
Veniz smiled back and said, "Kawaii right? The Asst. Manager of the team?" Fujima blushed and nod his head. "Ganbatte Kenji-kun! To you and Kawaii!" Fujima held her hand and said, "Arigato Veniz! And I wish you luck with Rukawa too!"
"Arigato Kenji-kun!" Veniz replied. Fujima then turned and waved back saying, "Sayonara Megami-sama."
I hope someday you can Find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you I don't really wanna go But deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do
//You'll find someone who'll be the one that I could never be Who'll give you something better Than the love you'll find with me
Oh I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a crime I know I'd only hurt you I know I'd only make you cry I'm not the one you're needing I love you, goodbye//
