Two can play this Game
"We need to talk, Hanamichi."
As if on trance, Sendoh turned back to look at Hana's house. Funny. He distinctly thought he heard the ice king's voice. He then squinted his eyes, and rubbed them twice. There was no doubt about it. Indeed, the tall, super rookie of Shohoku was standing in front of his Hana's house. He jerked his head back and forth, and hoped that his eyes were playing tricks on him. But he wasn't.
Sakuragi Hanamichi 's eyes widen in surprise, and his mouth went slack. Rukawa wondered if he should push the do'aho's jaw back to where it belongs. Sakuragi tried to speak, but nothing came out.
'What is he doing here? Have he heard everything that smiley and I talked about? Shit. wait, did he just call me by my first name?.. Oh, Gods.'
He suddenly had trouble breathing. He took one step backwards, but Rukawa immediately filled in the gap. He smiled a little before reaching out one thin and pale hand and caressed the other's cheek. Sakuragi flushed beet red at the touch, and slapped Rukawa's hand away.
"Teme kitsune! What do you want from me?" Sakuragi asked, finally regaining his voice.
"I told you, do'aho, we have to talk." Rukawa answered in a dull and monotonous voice.
'What the heck?!' Sendoh thought, annoyed. He'd come closer to where the two where standing and he was now currently hiding behind a huge lamp post near Sakuragi's house.
'Iie, the ice king shouldn't be in here!'
Sendoh strained his ears further, and wished for a hearing aid.
"Kitsune! Stop this inconvenient chitchat! The tensai is very tired! I have to rest!" Sakuragi half- shouted at him.
"Shhsshh.. You'll wake the neighbors up." Rukawa said in that same, grating dull voice of his. Rukawa bored his eyes unto Sakuragi.
Sakuragi was silent for a while, and felt as though drowning in the kitsune's eyes.
'K'so!' he berated himself mentally, and shook his head violently.
'Arghh! Stupid kitsune!' he thought, yet again, when he couldn't tear his own eyes against Rukawa. Without warning, he smashed his head twice on the wall, and tried to speak calmly.
"Okay, kitsune. Just say whatever you want so you and your stupid things could leave my front door. Hear that?" Sakuragi looked straight ahead at Rukawa's forehead, not daring to look at his eyes again. He didn't need to drown in those blue orbs again.
"Okay, then." Rukawa answered, and took small steps toward him. He reached out a hand, and tugged at Sakuragi's left ear.
Sendoh almost lunged out from where he's hiding. The fox had been menacingly coming closer to his Hana-kun, despite the latter's obvious distress. He clenched his fist as he saw Rukawa still advancing, and tugged at his Hana's earlobe.
'Oh God, What is he doing! What did he just say? Oh no! What if.. what if.. Shit! What am I gonna do?' Sendoh thought worriedly, a deep frown marring his usual happy and handsome face.
Sakuragi was acutely aware of Rukawa's hot breath against his cheek, and he shivered.
"K. Kitsune. I.." He stammered incoherently. Rukawa blew softly in his ear. Sakuragi bit his lip hard so he wouldn't cry out.
"Do'aho." Rukawa whispered, running through the syllables as though silk. It tickled his ear once again, and this time he had to close his eyes and concentrate hard to keep from moaning out load.
'K'so! What is the tensai feeling? Stupid kitsune!' he thought, but a blush went up to his cheeks, anyway, and he wished that time would stand still.
Sendoh felt like dying. He watched his Hana-kun's face, which was illuminated by the moonlight. It consisted of several conflicting emotions, one of which he couldn't deny. His Hana-kun liked everything that the Kitsune's doing to him. He might even like Rukawa, for heaven's sake.
'But there's still chance' Sendoh thought, rising from his position behind the lamp post.
'He himself might not be aware of his own feelings. I can still make it.'
Sendoh squared his shoulders, and decided to do something.
'Two can play this game, Rukawa. And you're on.'
Rukawa stopped himself from chuckling out loud. Beneath him, he could feel the redhead shiver from delight. He blew lightly into his ear and waited for the other's reaction. Half-expecting a blow on his stomach and a kick to the shin, he was very much surprised to hear a muffled groan. Trying his best to restrain from jumping up and down and shout 'VICTORY!', he allowed himself to a little smile.
"Do'aho.. what I wanted to say was.. " Rukawa started, feeling a bit vulnerable.
"Yes, kitsune?" the redhead asked, voice quavering ever so slightly.
"I.. I.. I..lo.. WAAAHH!" Rukawa screamed, and the magic moment disintegrated. Sakuragi pulled back and jumped with surprise.
"Kitsune! What the hell is your problem?! Argh! My ears hurt. You yelled so loud my eardrums must be broke!"
But Rukawa wasn't paying any attention to him. He was too busy glaring daggers at Sendoh, who was by now laughing like hell, and rolling in the ground. Apparently, Sendoh crept up behind them and jumped at Rukawa's back, startling him.
"Sendoh, what are you still doing here? I thought you went home." Sakuragi asked the rolling guy in the ground and offered a hand. Sendoh took the hand eagerly and stood up on his feet. But he didn't release Hana's hand.
"Nothing. I just remembered that I haven't returned your towel that I borrowed. Here."
Sendoh said, and hold up the towel.
"Oh, I see." Sakuragi said, gettong the towel.
"Hey Rukawa. Funny seeing you here. Whatever brings you here?" Sendoh asked Rukawa coolly.
"None of your business, maggot." Rukawa spat, and glared at him spitefully. Sendoh glared back at him and they might have glared at each other all night if the redhead hadn't intervened. Sakuragi coughed nervously, and stood between the two.
"Hey guys, you should go now, ne? Its late already. You wouldn't want to get late tomorrow or Gori's gonna get you."
Silence.
"I'm leaving do'aho." Rukawa said shortly, and turned away.
"Me too, Hana-kun. Sorry for that, though. Hope you're not mad." Sendoh said, and turned a sad face towards Hanamichi. Then, for the first time, he realized that Sendoh himself have beautiful eyes, a great smile that always seem to radiate happiness, and a physique that could match the kitsune's anytime. Sakuragi sighed, and felt the too-familiar blush crept at his cheeks. He had to admit, Sendoh's good looks and sweet personality had caught him off-guard too.
"Nope. Well, you'd better go now." Sakuragi answered.
"Okay, goodnight, then. Ja!" Sendoh smiled and waved, before turning back and started walking in the opposite direction.
Sakuragi, finally alone, trudged inside his gloomy house. He flopped down on his bed, and got Haruko's picture that was standing on his table. Funny, he didn't get happy at seeing her face right now. He took the picture and shoved it under the drawers, feeling no use of it ever. He wanted to sleep but he couldn't. He dreaded closing his eyes and see in his mind a blue- eyed kitsune and a spikey- haired smiley, two persons that seems quite capable of snatching his heart right under his nose.
