Chapter 13: Winter Romance

"At last to the nationals! At last we made it! My dreams have come true! All right!" Mitsui thought as he placed his bag on the train seat. They are about to leave in 30 minutes. Everyone was there, all Shohoku Basketball players, some Shohoku students who'll gonna bid them goodbye and good luck. Haruko was very lucky to be chosen to join the guys to go to the Nationals. She'll be a living witness to what will happen to the games.

Sakuragi was extremely happy, Haruko was going with them and that was some luck. "I bet that Sakuragi would find a way to seat by Haruko in the train" Mitsui thought. Ryota Miyagi looked very genki. Ayako is coming; of course she's the team manager. She has to come. "Miyagi, that shorty also has the luck" Mitsui replied in his mind grinning to himself.

Rukawa was sleeping while he listens to his walk man. Mitsui sighed and shook his head, "What a lethargic person is this guy" he muttered. He looked across the train and noticed someone very familiar. It was Ms. Mizuno. Mitsui stood up and exclaimed, "Mizuno-sensei!"

Ms. Mizuno turned her head at the handsome 3-point shooter and said, "Why Mitsui-san! What a coincidence, today is the day we leave for the Nationals!" Upon hearing Mitsui's name, Emi shot up like a bullet and exclaimed, "RYOTA- KUN!" Ryota turned his head and smiled. Emi was there dressed in comfortable, white shorts and blue shirt was waving at him.

"Hey Emi-chan!" Ryota greeted as he went over to Emi and started chatting away. Sakuragi spotted Seyou and exclaimed, "Nee Seyou-chan!" Seyou stood up; Sakuragi blushed at the sight. She was wearing jeans and a black sleeveless shirt and she had just had her hair dyed. Her hair had red streaks on them. "Hey Sakuragi-kun!"

Sakuragi composed himself and said, "This is great! Two tensai in one train!" Seyou could only grin at that. Meanwhile Miki sat beside Rukawa who was dozing off. Miki smiled and said, "You know what, I just got a letter from my brother!" Kaede opened his eyes and looked at Miki who was dressed in jeans and red shirt. Miki waved a letter at him and said, "Along with this letter is a package!"

"What's in the package?" Kaede asked looking interested. Miki picked up something and said, "This!" Rukawa's eyes widened. It was basketball with signatures of all the Chicago Bull players, including Michael Jordan and Rodman's signature.

Miki handed the ball to Kaede, "For good luck!" Kaede looked at her and smiled. Mitsui smiled at the sight, "Imagine that, Sakuragi suddenly forgot Haruko because of Seyou-chan, Ryota diminished Ayako for a moment for Emi-san and Rukawa suddenly woke up for Miki-chan! Amazing really." he thought.

"MITSUI-SAN!" Yuki cried seeing Mitsui in the train. Mitsui turned around and there stood Yuki dressed in black shorts and red tanktop with a jean blazer to match. Mitsui exclaimed, "YUKI-SAN!" Yuki approached him saying, "Imagine, I know we're both going to the Nationals but I never thought going there together in this train and today!" Mitsui laughed and said, "Yeah I know, I was surprised when I saw Mizuno-sensei!"

Yuki grinned and said, "Too bad we can't watch each other's game!"

"Yeah. I bet you girl's will win the championship!" Mitsui replied winking at her. Yuki blushed and said, "I hope we win." Mitsui sat down and said. "We guys are also wishing for the same thing!" Yuki nod her head and said, "Everyone's dream is to be Champions in the Nationals!"

"Shall we go for it?" Mitsui asked. Yuki sat down beside him and said, "Why not?" Then the train started to move. Mitsui lost his balance accidentally bended forward to Yuki. Yuki gasped. Mitsui's face was an inch close to hers and Mitsui was looking at her directly in the eyes.

"Shit!" Mitsui cursed in his mind.

"So close!" Yuki thought blushing madly.

(Chiisana shiawase o daiji ni atatameteta Nee, omou to mune no oku konna ni itaku naru no)

"You two, don't make out in public!" Ryota teased. Mitsui blushingly jerked away. Ryota snickered at the sight. Mitsui glared at him, Emi have to pull Ryota away before Mitsui grind him into mincemeat. Yuki laughed at the sight. Mitsui looked at her and smiled.

(Anata no me anata no koe subete itoshi kute...)

Yuki noticed that Mitsui was looking at her, stopped laughing and stared at him, she couldn't help but to smile too. Mitsui took out some cards and said, "This is going to be a long travel inn my own perception. Wanna play cards?" Yuki answered, "Sure! Be ready to be defeated! I'm good at poker!" The shooting guard smirked and said, "Let's see about that Winter Snow!"

(Kona yuki ga hoho ni maiori namida ni kawatta Itsu made mo soba ni ite kono te o hanasanai de Fuyu no sora kirameku hoshi wa futari o tsutsunda Shiroi kata shiroi iki anata to kanjite ru WINTER WISH)

The cards were drawn, Mitsui lost. "I don't believe it!" Yuki grinned at him and exclaimed, "Admit defeat Mitsui!" Mitsui shook his head and said, "No way Yuki! I'm just getting started!" Yuki exclaimed, "So am I!"

(Yori soi aruita umizoi no yuuenchi Nee, kanransha ni notte hikari no machi miyou yo)

After the next card match, Mitsui is still the loser. Yuki smirked at him and said, "I told you, I'm good!" Mitsui frowned and said, "I would not admit defeat!" With that he started to tickle Yuki.

(Tooku naru umi to awai kiss ga setsunakute...)

Yuki laughed and pleadingly exclaimed, "Yameru Mitsui-san!" Mitsui exclaimed, "No mercy Yuki! Today, I'm the Ice!" Yuki tried to tickle Mitsui too.

(Hajimari wa kona yuki no IVU chiisana SUTORI Dare yori mo aishiteru kono te o hanasanai de Arukidasu futari no mirai naranda ashi ato Nukumori mo yasashisa mo anata to dakishimeru WINTER WISH)

The Winter Snow successfully found Mitsui's tickle spot and started tickling. Mitsui exclaimed, "Chigau Yuki-chan!"

"Oh yeah, let's see who's the ice and who's not!" Yuki exclaimed tickling Mitsui. Mitsui grabbed Yuki's hand exclaimed, "Chigau!" Yuki shook her head and started to tickle again saying, "Who says I'll accept defeat?" Mitsui then exclaimed, "If you don't stop I'll kiss you!"

"Let me see you try that Mr. Ego!" Yuki exclaimed taunting. Mitsui then grabbed Yuki by the waist and pulled her close to him. Yuki stared at Mitsui. Mitsui was looking deeply at her. She looked at Mitsui's lips, they were too close to hers and she knew that her lips would be on those lips.

Mitsui could feel Yuki's breathing and then he felt people staring at them, he let go of Yuki saying, "Gomenasai Yuki-chan!" Yuki could only nod her head. Then suddenly, a song burst from the radio, a song from Mandy Moore, this song made them think.

It's gonna be me, baby
It's gonna be you, baby

"That was really close! What got into me?" (Mitsui)
"This is so frustrating! I can't believe I enjoyed that moment!" (Yuki)

Time, I've been patient for so long
how can I pretend to be so strong?
Looking at you, baby
Feeling it too, baby
If I'm asking you to hold me tight
Then it's gonna be all right

"Man, I can't even look at her right now! It's not because I'm embarrassed. I'm just getting tempted!" (Mitsui)
"Every time I look at him, I couldn't help but to melt! AAGGHHH! I hate this!" (Yuki)

It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel

"I know this is love but how can I say it to him?" (Yuki)
"I can't believe, this is the perfect time, I have to say it to her, but I can't!" (Mitsui)

It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me, baby
It's gonna be you, baby
It's gonna be...

"Her life revolves around volleyball and I bet her priorities will be just that, I would be a burden" (Mitsui)
"Basketball players first love is basketball and I bet I'll be just a 2nd priority" (Yuki)

It's gonna be love

Time in my restless sorrow pool
how can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me, baby
maybe it's true, baby
Maybe it's everything we're dreaming of
We've waited long enough

"AAGGHHH! I shouldn't think like that, there's always room for love but then again. Am I ready for this?" (Mitsui)
"No, Mitsui won't do that to me, if ever but am I ready? (Yuki)

It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel

"Love waits" (Mitsui and Yuki)

It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be you're the one to do
It's gonna be me, baby (me, baby)
It's gonna be you, baby

Mitsui looked at Yuki and smiled. Yuki looked at him and smiled. Definitely there is a glow but there is also fear. Then again, they're two hearts beating but refuse to listen to that beat.

"Love waits, It can Yuki. Do what you must do" (Yuki)
"After this, yes, I will tell her!" (Mitsui)

The sooner you let two hearts beat together
The sooner you'll know this love is forever
(It's gonna be love)
Love needs time now or never
(It's gonna be love)
It's gonna be tough
You gotta believe
It's gonna be strong enough

"Yes, time it does need but I need to tell her" (Mitsui)
"I need to tell him, it maybe not the time, but I must" (Yuki)

It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be you're the one to do
It's gonna be hard
It's gonna be tough
It's gonna be more than just enough
It's gonna be love
Oh, it's gonna be love

"We're here!'' Akagi grunted. "Okay girls let's go!" Ms. Mizuno exclaimed. Mitsui stood up saying, "See you later after the finals" Yuki nod her head. "Let's meet, at the Shohoku gym. I need to tell you something!" Mitsui replied.

It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me, baby (me, baby)
It's gonna be you, baby
It's gonna be me, baby, hey (me, baby)
It's gonna be you
It's gonna be...(yeah)

"Me too!" Yuki replied. Mitsui smiled and turned away. Yuki stood up and joined her teammates.

It's gonna be love.

"At the Shohoku gym. I'll be waiting!" (Mitsui and Yuki)
