Chapter Two: The Familiar Girl
After spending a few days in the hospital, Mitsui was discharged from the hospital. The day came for him to go to school.
Everybody in school greeted him happily. Sakuragi laughed," Nyahahaha, Mitchy, you're back. Thought you'll never get back from the hospital."
Ayako hit him with her paper fan. "Respect your sempai, Sakuragi."
"Itai, Ayako-san."
Mitsui laughed at the scene," It's ok, Ayako, I'm glad I can come back to school. I mean not going to school is good but I hate to miss basketball practice."
Ayako nodded. "Hai, sempai."
Ryota came to the scene. "What's the big commotion here?" Then spotting Mitsui, he greeted Mitsui warmly. "Ei, Mitsui."
Both of them high fived.
A gruff voice greeted him. "Mitsui." Mitsui turned and saw the owner of the voice. Mitsui smiled," Ohaiyo, Akagi."
The bespectacled voice smiled," Ohaiyo Mitsui. Glad you're back." Mitsui grinned," Ohaiyo Kogure, I'm glad I'm back too. I missed basketball practices."
Kogure smiled at his friend's eagerness. "Daijobu, it's not like as if you're gonna lose your touch."
"I hope so."
They chattered happily while walking together into the school.
Mitsui bade his friends goodbye and went into his class and sat at his usual seat.
Just as he sat down, he felt eyes on him. He turned to his left and saw amethyst eyes starring at him.
The face was familiar but Mitsui couldn't recall where he had seen her before. She looks so familiar…but I can't remember where I've seen her.
The girl pondered Hey he looks familiar! Hmm…that's right. Isn't he the one I saved?
Both of them continued to stare in silence. Breaking the silence, the girl asked," Eto..your wounds are healed already?"
Mitsui smiled," Yeah..but how do you know I got hurt?"
The girl laughed," Well, you're so popular in school so of course news spread out fast."
Mitsui scratched his head," Am I?"
"Of course. I'm just new here and before I even know anyone here, I already heard your name."
Mitsui grinned," Maybe I am. Not meaning to be rude but who are you?"
He doesn't remember me. Of course not, dumb girl, he probably couldn't even you see in the dark.
She stuck out her hand. "Watashi wa Fujii Yushi. Yoroshiku."
Mitsui shook her hand. "Yoroshiku. So, how come you're in this school and when did you join this school?"
Yushi smiled," Well, my parents moved here just a few days ago and I've been told that Shohoku is a good school so I decided to come here. I just joined yesterday."
Mitsui winked," Sure, this school's great."
Yushi replied," So far it's been great studying here. The people here are nice and polite."
Suddenly, the class turned quite and in walked the sensei.
The sensei looked at Mitsui. "Mitsui, Yushi's a new girl. You better not be rude to her."
The sensei was worried that,anytime Mitsui would turn back into his old punk self and treat the new girl badly,as she didn't know about his past.
Mitsui grinned," Of course not, sensei."
The sensei pushed up his glasses to the bridge of his nose. "You better be."

When it's time for basketball practice, Mitsui packed all his books in his bag and headed for the court.
He ran quickly to the locker room and changed his clothes. Mitsui walked into the court and was greeted happily by the team with the exception of those he had met in the morning.
Sakuragi grinned," Mitchy, you didn't lose your skills while you were treating your wounds, did you?"
Mitsui smirked," Of course not."
Sakuragi replied," Prove it."
He took a ball and threw it to Mitsui. Mitsui caught it and raised his eyebrows.
Sakuragi nodded. "A one-on-one."
Kogure heard their conversation and tried to break the challenge as to save the red head teen from embarrassment.
"Sakuragi, come on, let Mitsui practice by himself and besides Ayako's here already, go and practice with her."
Mitsui smiled superiorly," Kogure's right, Sakuragi, go and practice your dribbling."
Sakuragi trembled and was about to punch Mitsui when he heard his rival called him," Do aho."
"Kitsune, don't you dare say the tensai here 'do aho'."
"Yare yare."
Before Sakuragi could headbutt Rukawa, Kogure pulled him back and comforted him," Sakuragi, calm down, you don't want Akagi to scold you when he comes, do you?"
Afraid to get a punch on his head, Sakuragi calmed down. He lied," Wakata, megane-kun, I'm just doing this for you, ok?"
Sakuragi headed to Ayako who was waiting for him.
When Akagi came, all of them started practicing together.
After the practice, Mitsui rummaged his sportsbag for his towel. He felt something soft and pulled it out.
It was the handkerchief. He had brought it along in case he met her again so he could return it to her.
Then something hit him. He remembered who the girl was.
It was Yushi. Yushi was the one who was in the alley the other night. This handkerchief must belongs to her.
Does she have something to do with the cut on my arm?
So many questions started to form in his mind and he couldn't wait to find out but school was over already so he has to wait for tomorrow.
Kuso! Why didn't I thought earlier? If I did then I could have ask her earlier. KUSO!!
Deep in thought and not looking where he was going, he bumped into someone.
The someone fell on the ground and yelped," Itai!"
Mitsui looked down and smiled. It's her.
Mitsui pulled her up to her feet. Yushi smiled at him," Oh, it's you, Mitsui-san."
Yushi's eyes fell onto the handkerchief that Mitsui was clutching then she looked up at him.
