* Kanagawa's Yamaha * Ryota's POV
" I still can't believe you're a musician." I said as I walked along my companion careful to keep my black case out of sight.
"Tensai dakara! Nyahahahhahaha!"
I snorted. Great..just my luck to bump into a teammate. And the loudest team mate for that matter. Why couldn't I have bumped into Rukawa or one of the subs?
"Ryo-chin.What are you doing here?" I immediately broke into a cold sweat.
" Nothing.. Just..walking about. You know." I said as naturally as I could.
"Oooo. so ka.." I breathed a sigh of relief thanking Kami-sama.
"Konichiwa Ryota-kun!" a girl carrying a flute greeted as she walked past. Three girls and a guy turned and smiled. "Yo! Ryota-kun!" I smiled weakly and raised a hand in reply.
" Oi Ryo-chin.. How do you know so many people here huh?" Sakuragi asked suspiciously.
I then pulled him down towards me and hissed in his ear, "Those are the girls that turned me down!"
A look of pity and understanding then flooded the redhead's face. He nodded sympathetically. I'm lucky he's so naïve. " Hanamichi..what instrument do you play?" I asked as we came closer and closer to my destination.
" I play something fit for the tensai!" he proclaimed proudly.
"Piano?" I guesed.
'Ch.that's too easy." He scoffed. To easy? I recalled his version of Mozart's "Ah! Vous Dirai-je Maman" or more popularly known as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
"I'll give you a clue. You need it in almost every form of music." Every form of music..hmm..Masaka!
I stopped and stared at him. "You're not serious.Vocal?!" Oh Kami-sama. you must be joking.. I shuddered imagining the agony and terror his vocal teacher had to endure each week. Suddenly I realised that we were two floors away from the vocal section and we had already passed the lift. My heart started to beat faster and faster.
"Baka Ryo-chin! The tensai's voice is already perfect! Tensai plays the drums! It's the only instrument suitable for a tensai like me!" he proclaimed happily as he stood in front of the glass door that would lead us to the winds and percussion. I could see him growing larger and taller and he seemed to loom over with me with the words "Drums! Drums!" Echoing over and over again. At that moment, Kanni Zukong walked out.
"Ryota-kun. You're late today.." she said as she swept by with a smile.
"Ryo-chin! How does Kanni Zukong know you?!" "She's one of the top jazz players in Japan!" Hanamichi exploded.
Giving up, I lifted my black case containing my trumpet. " I play the trumpet."
Sakuragi's POV
"I play the trumpet." These four words penetrated my mind. Oh..He plays the trumpet. That's why he's here in a place like this.. Chotto matte!!! Ryota. Miyagi Ryota. Miyagi Ryota plays the trumpet. Miyagi Ryota, point guard, number seven of Shohoku High plays the trumpet. "Nyahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Ryota's POV
I am doomed.
Kanni Zukong's POV
What is that sound? I turned back and stared. Oh.. It's that new boy with Ryota-kun. He must be the new saxophonist. Or drummer. Or trombonist. Or..
*upstairs outside the strings section*
Koshino Hiroaki looked around. "I swear I've heard that laugh somewhere before.." "What laugh?" Sendoh asked. " Ah, its nothing I guess." Koshino cocked his head to one side and listened carefully but only heard the muffled sounds of string instruments being tuned. 'Am I going mad? It couldn't be who I thought it was.' he thought to himself before walking in the door. Sendoh stared at the retreating back of Koshino before calling after him. "Oi! Where am I supposed to go?"

Dear minna,
Okay.. Perhaps you are wondering where Ryota, Koshino, etc are. I'm sure most of you know about Yamaha. For those who don't know, I'm not talking about the engine Yamaha. I'm talking about the music centre Yamaha. In Tokyo, there is a Yamaha institute I believe. Okay. You may be wondering why Sakuragi didn't meet Ryota. Its because in my story, the old Yamaha Sakuragi attended closed down and naturally all its students would then go to head quarters. I don't know if Kanagawa has a Yamaha institute but, trust me. Yamaha is cool! There's so many instruments! From electones, piano, to violins. I'm not really sure about connecting music with the Slam Dunk characters. Is it a bit funny? I hope not.. Mm..I think I'll drag Uozumi in the next chapter. What do you think? Can you imagine what instrument Uozumi would play? ^.^ I can!
To all those who reviewed,
Thank you so much! I'm really touched. Sorry I can't address you guys now, but I promise to do so later. ^^ I'm so tired..I only got 2 hours of sleep yesterday and the past night none at all. Ja!
