THE FOX'S TRUE FRIEND
( NO KITSUNE NA SHINJITSU TOMODACHI)
The next day, they meet up again, Rukawa in his bike and Marina in her roller blades.Rukawa carried Marina's bag for her convenience. "I met someone." "Someone?" Rukawa asked hurriedly. "Is he a new friend?" He then added. "She , Haruko, the girl in Shohoku." ".What a relief" "She's nice." Then there was silence like all they want to do is reach Shohoku without a word then she broke the silence. "Kae-chan, should I still call you Kae-chan?" "I don't know, it's up to you." "You look too mature for that.Maybe I should call you Rukawa just like the others." "You're not like the others Ran, you're my best friend.And my only friend" She stared solemnly at him, looking only at him then she said with a smile: "Kae-chan.How I missed you!" She said in a solemn voice. They reached Shohoku and every girl was blushing whenever Rukawa passed by and all the boys came fixing their hair whenever Marina passed by. "The new girl's cute." One guy said "Heard she's Rukawa's friend" The other replied. "The mysterious basketball player from Tomigaoka?" "Yes" Then Marina passed by.And they became silent all they want to do is look at her. "Marina!" Haruko shouted her name. Because of this, the guys knew her name was Marina. "Haruko, how are you?" Marina replied with a smile. "I'm okay.I knew it! The guy in the picture was Rukawa! Am I right? Am I right?" "Yes it's him, my best friend since childhood." "Can you tell me stories about him, please?" Haruko asked Marina with bright eyes and dragging her, everyone was awkwardly looking at them. "Not so loud.Haruko." "Oh I'm sorry here, we can talk here.without anyone interfering, huh?" "I can see, Haruko, do you like my Kae-chan?" "Your Kae-chan?" "Yes, my best friend." "Oh, I thought." "Don't be silly." Then Haruko's eyes twinkled again and she looked at Marina with pleasing eyes. "You really like him, don't you?" "I.I." "Tell me, you can trust me, I won't tell him" "No, don't worry, almost everyone knows." "Really?" Marina asked with enthusiasm. "Yeah! So please tell me how you met." "Well, you see, only the fortunate one would know." She said with a teasing smile. KKKRRRRINNNGGG!!!!!! Everyone came rushing to his or her rooms. "Haruko sure has something for Kae-chan." Marina thought. "Everyone bring out your notebooks and copy the lecture." She opened her bag and to her surprise it wasn't her bag, Rukawa brought her bag and that's what she did too. "Oh, brother! Now I must get my bag from Kae-chan" She thought. "Um, sir may I go out? Just a second." "Okay Ms. Ryuzaki, you may" On the other hand. "Only the fortunate one would know? I wonder how she and Rukawa met.I must know!" Haruko said while writing "Rukawa" in capital letters on her notebook. "Akagi!" Her teacher scolded her for the second time. "Sir? Sorry sir." Sakuragi on the other hand was dead worried about basketball that Haruko might know that he really isn't the Tensai. "Oh! I need some practice or that KITSUNE will take the lead again!" He thought while imagining Rukawa with a fox's tail and ears. On the other hand, Marina went straight to section ten carrying Rukawa's bag. "Um, sir?" She said with her cold voice. Then every guy blushed except Rukawa who's asleep. "Yes?" The math teacher replied. "Can I excuse Kaede for a moment, sir?" She again said "Well, you see he's sleeping right now, you'll be in great trouble if you wake him up." "Don't worry sir, I can handle." She said with a gentle smile. Everyone was watching her walk towards Rukawa they walked backwards fearing Rukawa would attack all of them if he wakes up. "I hate to see that cute girl get hurt." A guy said "Don't tell me we didn't warn her." Another said Then. "Kae-chan, wake up." she whispered "Um.Um?" Rukawa said and ready to hit the person who woke him up. "You.Ah? Ran-ran? What are you doing here?" He was surprised. "Here's your bag now where's mine?" She said with a gentle smile "Oh, here it is." He then said "You're sleeping in Math class again you bad boy." She smiled leaving the room. Everyone was curious they never heard Rukawa talk so much in a conversation like that... "That girl can tame this child?" The teacher thought. A basketball practice was held that afternoon everyone was present, Haruko and her friends, Ayako and the Rukawa Oendan Girls and of course Marina. "Hey Ayako" Kogure said "What is it Kogure-senpai?" Ayako replied "Tell me about the new girl" Kogure asked "Oh, Rukawa's friend?" "Yeah, her" "Haven't seen her for about two years, I heard she studied in Tomoeda ever since." "Oh, you think she'll like me?" "Oh, interested?" "Oh no not like that! Just friends, 'ya know" "Okay.you make a lousy liar." "What was that?" "Nothing. nothing at all." Everyone was watching the team practice; they were getting ready for the practice game versus Ryonan. Marina wasn't informed about this while everyone was excited about it. Every one was exhausted and they were all happy to see Shohoku's Rukawa. Sakuragi was bluffing around because of the compliment given to him about his ball handling. "Wahahaha! You can't match me you Kitsune! Wahahaha! I'll show you! Wahahaha!" WHACK! "You stop bluffing around Sakuragi Hanamichi!" Ayako scolded him "You don't need to hit me with that fan Ayako!" Hanamichi answered "Shut up!" Hitting Hanamichi again with her fan. Now the team should practice hard for their big match with the Ryonan High school team
