*Note: GO HANA-KUN! ^-^
Chapter 41: TENSAI!!!!
The game started again, the tension building was so intense that everyone was biting their nails (not literally). The scoreboard shows that Shoyo-Ryonan is in the lead. They need a boost to catch up. The ball went to Hanamichi.
Ryota cried to him, "Pass it to me Sakuragi!" Mitsui frowned and exclaimed, "No! To me you baka!" Kaede was a centimeter away from him said to him, "Don't be a fool! Pass it to me!"
Hanamichi closed his eyes and drastically thought "Kuso! I'm so tired of you guys saying pass it to me! Don't you trust me? I'll shoot this ball! You know I can! Sorry, but this time, the game is mine. the ball is mine!" he opened his eyes and saw Fukuda blocking his path.
No way to get near the basket and try for a dunk or a lay-up. Hanamichi then remembered the special training he went to, the hardship of Haruko, Veniz, Niki, Ayako and Coach Anzai just for him to be a good basketball player.
"I'll not let you down! I will not! I will do this! On my own! I will prove I'm tensai!" Hanamichi thought, he raised the ball tending to do a jump shot. "BAKERO! Don't be hasty!" Akagi cried. Hanamichi released the ball, everyone watched in silent as the ball headed for the basket.. And went in.
"YEAH!" Hanamichi cried. "ALL RIGHT ONII-CHAN! YOU RULE!" Veniz cried. "WAY TO GO SAKURAGI-KUN!" Haruko cried jumping for joy.
"Unbelievable! You go Sakuragi!" Kogure exclaimed. "Must be a bluff!" Mitsui replied knowingly. Niki raised an eyebrow and corrected her boyfriend by saying, "A bluff? Try practicing that in a week by doing 200, 000 jump shots! Without a miss!"
Ryota gagged and exclaimed, "200, 000 jump shots? Is that what Coach Anzai's special training that Sakuragi went under? Amazing!" Mitsui smiled and said, "Yeah, there couldn't be 200, 000 bluffs!"
Fukuda muttered, "Impossible!" Hanamichi smiled slyly and thought "Wait till I got the ball into my hands again Gokiburi face!" Shoyo-Ryonan has the ball, Hanagata was dribbling it, and he passed it to Uozumi who passed it to Fukuda for a shot.
Fukuda aimed for the basket aiming for a 3-point shot, however, Hanamichi pounced the ball off his hand saying, "Got it Gokiburi face!" Fukuda gasped, he lost the ball. He ran after Hanamichi but Hanamichi had passed it Mitsui. As Mitsui got the ball he did a 3-point shot.
Niki cried, "GO MITSUI! DOING GREAT MVP!" Mitsui winked at her. Fujima got the ball and passed to Uozumi who was blocked by Akagi. Uozumi then had no choice but to pass it to Sendo. Sendo dribbled the ball and was about to do a lay-up when Rukawa managed to steal the ball away from his hands. Sendo stared at Rukawa in surprise.
"That was fast!" Sendo thought in awe. Kaede eluded everyone who blocked him and made a jump shot. Veniz and Haruko cried, "WAY YO GO RUKAWA!"
"Agh! My angel is cheering for that kitsune!" Kiyota exclaimed looking irritated. Hanagata got the ball, he tried to pass it to Fujima but Ryota was to quick and got the ball and did a lay-up. Ayako cried, "NICE SHOT MIYAGI!"
Ryota's ears perched up and exclaimed, "Arigato Ayako-chan!" Ayako blushed. Sendo got the ball again into his hands, Rukawa blocked him, Sendo smiled and said, "I was taken by surprise back there Rukawa, nice!" Rukawa smirked and said, "I don't need your compliments!"
Sendo jumped for a fade away shot. Rukawa jumped and blocked the ball, the ball went into Ryota's hands who passed it to Hanamichi. Fukuda blocked Hanamichi saying, "You won't shoot that ball! I won't let you!"
"Really? Can't still believe I did 200, 000 jump shots?" Hanamichi demanded looking vicious. Fukuda smirked. Hanamici slyly smiled and said, "Let's do it again shall we Fuki?" with that he made a jump shot. The ball went in perfectly.
Veniz made three claps along with Haruko and Niki and cried, "YOU GO JERSEY NO. 10! YOU GO TENSAI!" ^_^
Fukuda couldn't believe his eyes that Hanamichi did it, AGAIN! Hanamichi replied as he ran away from him, "I won this time now Fuki!"
"Kuso!" Fukuda whispered in annoyance.
The game ensued; Shohoku was now tied with Shoyo-Ryonan and 30 seconds left on the clock. Sendo has the ball; he was sure to make the winning point for his team. Rukawa knew this and made an something unbelievable, he let Sendo passed him!
When Sendo was about to shoot the ball, Rukawa jumped at his back pouncing the ball out of his hands. The ball bounced to Hanamichi. Hanamichi got it and saw that the other side of the court was free.
The Sakuragi Gundan cried, "SLAM DUNK!" Hanamichi went for it remembering Haruko's words, the words she asked him when they first met.
"Do you like basketball?"
Hanamichi jumped and slammed the ball on the basket. "TENSAI!" Veniz and Niki cried in unison "HANAMICHI SAKURAGI!"
The crowd roared. It was amazing, Shohoku won. Ryota and Mitsui happily hugged him saying, "You idiot! That was amazing!"
Hanamichi smiled and said, "Of course! I'm Tensai!" with that he gave Haruko a thumb up sign. Haruko smiled saying, "Nice dunk Sakuragi-kun!"
Veniz ran up to her brother and gave him a bear hug saying, "Dad is proud of you Onii-chan!" Hanamichi grinned and said, "I know Veniz."
Then suddenly, everyone in the room was crying, "TENSAI! TENSAI! TENSAI!" with Niki leading the cries. Veniz grinned and exclaimed, "TENSAI!"
Hanamichi laughed saying, "I am TENSAI!"
Meanwhile, Sendo was talking to Kaede. "You did it again back there Rukawa!" Rukawa smirked and said, "I know, I beat you!" Sendo extended his hand towards him and said, "For now Rukawa!" Kaede shook it and gripped it hard saying, "For now."
Kiyota was watching all of these and thought, "It can't be, no way! No way! No way! NO WAY!"
