Epilogue

It's Shohoku's first game in the nationals, everyone was excited especially Hanamichi. Everyone in the stadium can't wait. First the Shohoku cheering squad will be doing their thing before the game.

Veniz was fumbling with the cardboard she was holding. She's praying that her plan will work. This is it. The truth and tell time! Niki gave her thumbs up sign, with that they both put on their headphones. Veniz smiled and exclaimed, "Let's sing and dance girls!"

"I wonder how the Shohoku cheering squad looks like?" a guy wondered. "There they are!" a girl shrieked. Sure enough, the cheering squad appeared dressed in red and black! Shohoku colors! They were all wearing black jazz pants and red mid riff tank top thing. Plus they all have headphones!

Hanamichi laughed saying, "I don't believe it! They're going to do it!" Mitsui gave him a look and asked, "Do what?"

"They're going to sing and dance! All of them!" Hanamichi replied looking very genki. "Whoah! Niki and Veniz are thinking big!" Ryota replied.

The emcee appeared and exclaimed, "Presenting the Shohoku Cheering Squad!" everyone applauded. The intro of the song blasted on the speakers.

"SHIT! MAKI OGURO!" Hanamichi cried. "YOU GO GIRLS!" he continued.

//anata dake mitsumete'ru Deatta hi kara ima demo zutto Anata sae soba ni ireba hoka ni nannimo iranai Yume no high tension//

"COOL!" Mitsui and Ryota cried. Everyone was roaring, it was amazing and extremely cool!

//negaigoto kanatta no Yawaraka na fuyu no hi Utsu muki hazukashi-sou na special driving date//

//Anata ga sou yorokobu kara Kesho mo mazu yameta wa Doko ni ite mo tsukamaru you ni POKEBERU motta wa//

//kuruma mo kuwashikunatta shi SAKKA- sae mo suki ni natta wa Mayotte-iru kedo Kono hito ni isshou tsuite yukou to kimeta//

//anata dake mitsumete'ru Deatta hi kara ima demo zutto Anata sae soba ni ireba hoka ni nannimo iranai Ai no high tension//

"GO VENIZ! GO HARUKO! GO NIKI!" Ryota, Mitsui, Ryota and Kogure cried in unison.

//anata ga sou nozomu kara Massugu kaeru you ni natta ZATSU datta kotobadzukai teinei ni natta//

//anata ga sou utsumuku kara Nagadenwa mo yameta wa Benri datta otoko-no-ko-tachi katazuketa//

//kami mo fuku mo medatanaku o-ryouri mo GANBARU kara Party ni wa ikitai na... Iyagatte'ta ano ko to mo zekkou shita wa//

//anata dake mitsumete'ru Mukashi mitai ni warawanaku natta Nigate datta spicy your mama Ima de wa ocha shite'ru YABAI high tension//

Then the whole squad crouched down except for Veniz who did a solo of the spoken in the song. She looked at Rukawa, keeping an eye contact on him.

//I love you It's an entrance to the paradise in the hill Changing my mind, and my dream, And keeps on running in my heart Like you will know how I'm crazy for you//

Then Niki gave her the cardboard; Veniz opened it wide for everyone to see. Kaede's eyes widened and he stood up looking dumbfounded. Written on the cardboard "I LOVE YOU RUKAWA KAEDE! TRULY YOURS VENIZ SAKURAGI!"

Hanamichi along with the rest of the ganged whooped and roared. "ALL RIGHT! YOU GO VENIZ!" they cried. Then the whole squad stood up and continued with their presentation. Veniz sang this solo.

//anata dake mitsumete'ru Soshite hoka ni daremo inaku natta Jimi ni ikite-yuku no Anatagonomi no onna Mezase!! Love power Wow wow wow!//

Then the whole squad sang:

//Anata dake mitsumete'ru Hitori de matsu futari dake no heya Anata no hohoemi wa bara-iro no kusari Yuke!! Yume miru yume nashi onna!! Oh, wow wow wow!//

It was a standing ovation and what a presentation! ^_^ Akagi called forth his team for assemble. As Rukawa approached him, Ryota patted him and said, "Congratulations Rukawa!"

"Yeah! Boy you're lucky Rukawa!" Mitsui teased winking at him. Akagi coughed and said, "Everyone, let's concentrate on this game shall we?" Hanamichi nod his head and said, "Right!"

Akagi smiled and said, "Remember what we are team!" they looked at each other and cried, "WE'RE TOUGH!"

Veniz then called out to Hanamichi, "Ganbatte Onii-chan! Show them that you're the TENSAI!" Hanamichi grinned at her saying, "You don't need to say that because I will!" Haruko approached him saying, "Good look Sakuragi- kun!"

Hanamichi nod his hand and said, "Arigato Haruko-chan!"

Niki approached Mitsui and teasingly said to him, "Win this and you'll get a prize from me!" Mitsui bent over and kissed her saying, "I'll be expecting that!" ^_~!

Ayako cried to Miyagi, "Ganbatte Miyagi!" Miyagi went all hearts and said, "Arigato Ayako-chan!"

Veniz approached Kaede who was smiling at her. Veniz smiled back and said, "Good luck Kaede-kun!" Kaede raised an eyebrow and asked, "That's all? Good luck?" Veniz gave him a puzzled look.

Kaede bent down and kissed her sweetly on the lips. Veniz returned the pressure of the kiss, it lasted about 10 seconds. As they broke apart, Kaede whispered to her, "Now that's good luck! Aishiteiru Veniz!" Veniz hugged him saying, "Aishiteiru!"

When Kaede went into the court, Hanamichi whispered to him, "Take care of him Kitsune, or else!" Kaede smirked and said, "I know Odahou!" with that he looked at Veniz smiling lovingly at him.

"Now I can really say, I'm a winner now.." Kaede thought.

//There's a song that inside,

Of my soul

It's the one that I've tried,

To write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But you sing to me over,

And over and over again So I lay, my head, back down,

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours

I pray

To be only yours

I know now

You're my only hope

Sing to me the song,

Of the stars

Of your galaxy dancing,

And laughing and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams, are so far,

Sing to me of the plans,

That you have for me over again

So I lay, my head, back down,

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours

I pray

To be only yours

I know now

You're my,

Only hope

I give you my destiny

I'm giving you all of me

I want your symphony

Singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs,

I'm giving it back So I lay my head back down,

And I lift my hands and,

Pray

To be only yours

I, pray

To be only yours

I, pray

To be only yours

I know now

You're my,

Only hope// *NOTE: Finish at last! By the way Veniz Sakuragi is actually ME! Yes I know, this is some girls' fantasy! Please bear that I'm not a die-hard Rukawa fan! Actually I'm a die-hard Sendo, Fujima and Mitsui fan. Plus I am a huge SAKURAGI fan! I consider him my older brother really! Lastly I just did this fic because I was inspired! Hang on to the sequel of this! Plus my next fic is all about Mitsui!!! Well that's for now! Ja ne! ^-^
