Wednesday
He's now a happy man. A great basketball player and adored by the all. But most of all he now
have the love of his life. Hanamichi.
"Oi! Kitsune! On your way to practice?"
/and speaking of the devil/
"Hai." came a monotous reply from Rukawa.
"Well then, let the Tensai join you." Said Sakuragi as he drape one arm over Rukawa's shoulder.
Then the two are on their way to the locker room to change.
They're relationship were out in the public, no one really minded them. Some even mentioned that
they're actually cute as a couple. But still some voiced out their thoughts but landed on deaf
ears.
Shohoku Gymnasium
3:45 PM
"Ore wa Tensaiii!!!" Basket-o man!!!"
"Do ahou"
"Hey you're early! 15 minutes early in fact" Kogure greeted them with a smile.
"Assemble!" Akagi called out his teammates.
"Oi! Gori! Why are you not on your training clothes?" Sakuragi said, wondering why their captain
is still in his uniform.
"Minna! Tomorrow there will be no classes starting from 1-3 pm." Akagi informed his teammates.
"Because the faculty will have a general meeting."
"Great!" "Alright!" "Yes!" came the various reply from his teammates.
"So," continued Akagi, "I expect that all of you will be here at 1:30 for our training. Is that
understood?"
"HAI!"
Turning to Kogure, "I leave them to you Kogure, I have to go now. I might be late for my advance
trigonometry class." Eyeing Mitsui, Miyagi, Sakuragi and Rukawa," Do not give Kogure a headache
now, you hear!"
"Oooh! Gori! Advance trigonometry class? Yeah right! Maybe you just can't handle the hard
training ne? Daijobou, daijobou Gori, just train more and you'll have the Tensai's ability!
Nyanyahahahaha!!!"
"Aa...Akagi, you now go ahead. You don't want to be late." Kogure reminded Akagi who's now
giving Sakuragi a *gori punch*
"SHOHOKU!!!"
"FIGHT!!!"
Shohoku Basketball Team Locker room
7:30 pm
"Oh man! I didn't know Kogure can be such a devil during training!" Yasuda complained while
drying his hair.
"I second that!" Kakuta and Shiozaki said at the same time while applying ointments to their
sore arms and legs.
"And here I thought I could have break from those gori punches but I was proven wrong when the
'Megane-I'm-going-to-make-you-guilty-when-you-don't-follow-me-look' is there! I just can't help
but follow Kogure-san." Miyagi added while he too is massaging his sore sides.
"Gomen minna" Apologized the blushing vice-captain. "Demo, I was instructed by Akagi. I promise
that next time he's out, we'll take it easy."
"It's no problem Kogure!" Mitsui said to him with a smile. Kogure smiled back to him. His Mitsui
never failed to make him feel good.
As everyone slowly emptied the locker room, Mitsui approached his lover from behind, hugged
Kogure and kissed his neck.
"Are you sure you're all right here alone? I mean, I can wait and help you with your unfinished
stuffs." Whispered Mitsui in his ears. Slowly savoring the scent of his lover. "And also we can
do some other things after that." A mischievous grin appeared on Mitsui's face.
"I'm going to be alright, Hisashi. Besides you have to go home now, it's getting late. You don't
want to be grounded ne? You're mum warned you oh so many times now."
Kogure, now facing his lover, recalled his mother's warnings about Mitsui being out at late
nights.
"But Min-kun... I..." Mitsui was cut-off because he now have Kogure's lips pressed unto his.
"And about those *other things* we can do that tomorrow night. My parents won't be home till
Friday evening." Kogure bit Mitsui's ears, teasing him.
"And everybody thought I'm the hentai in this relationship. If they only knew... Anyways
Min-kun, hurry up with those stuffs okay?" Mitsui kissed his lover and bid him goodbye.
----
"Kaede, I'm going on ahead now still have to do some chores." Sakuragi cupped Rukawa's chin and
kissed him full on the lips.
"Take care, Hana." Rukawa lips curved up to form a small smile. He only smiles to his do ahou.
"Call me when you're home okay Kitsune?" Finished Sakuragi as he looked at Rukawa's smile.
/Smile more often Kitsune, it suits you/
"hnn... Do ahou." Grinned Rukawa, looking at Sakuragi exiting the locker room.
"Kogure-sempai... I'm going now." Rukawa wave his senior goodbye and went on his way.
/wonder why that do ahou of mine suddenly has to do chores? hmmm... first time for everything
I guess... or he just got a total reprimanding from his mum/. Rukawa glanced at his watch.
/Hhmmm... 8:15 pm. I still have an hour and a half before dad gets home./ He then rushed straight
to the court near his place.
Little did he know that the locker room lights immediately closed, muffled screams and banging
can be heard but alas! Failed to reach our dear boy's ears for his mp3 player is already plugged
into his ears.
Rukawa residence
7:20 AM
Thursday
"This is Kanagawa Morning News" The TV bellowed throughout Rukawa's den.
"We are here live in..."
"Hey, son. Come here." Rukawa's father gestured his son to sit with him.
"A lot of reporter are in your school now." He told Rukawa pointing at the TV screen.
"... Shohoku High School. A boy, in the name of Kogure Kimonobu, was found dead this morning at
7:05. Based from the initial police report it's stated there that this is a planned murder..."
"Kaede, son, what's wrong?"
Rukawa now was whiter than snow, seems that whatever blood was in his face disappeared. People
know him as the Ice King but when it comes to the matter of death sometimes the Ice King even
melts. /what's going on? I was just with him last night!?/
"Son, I guess you know this guy so now go straight to school and be careful." Rukawa's father
hugged him. His son maybe a block of ice outside but a father can see, read and feel whatever
his son's feeling.
"Domo, Otousan. I needed that." Said Rukawa his face still emotionless as ever. He didn't hugged
his father back but Rukawa loved his dad dearly though he may not show it but his dad definitely
knows it.
Shohoku High
7:45 AM
Students and teachers are everywhere. Confusion, fear, anger and loneliness are visible in their
faces. Especially the year threes, most of them are in tears. Kogure Kiminobu, an honor student,
vice-captain of the basketball club and most especially a friend to everyone is now dead!
Shohoku definitely lost a student but more importantly they lost an Angel.
In the gym...
"Sakuragi! Help me hold Mitsui!"
"NOO!!!!! LET ME SEE HIM!!!!!!!! HE'S JUST FINE!!!!! Look! Maybe that's paint around him.
He told me he still have stuffs to do last night, he needed the paint to finish his art
project!!! GODAMMIT! LET! ME! GO! SAKURAGI!!!!"
Even while Sakuragi and Akagi were holding the hysterical Mitsui down, tears freely flows down
in their faces. Disbelief, pain, anger, confusion traced the face of Mitsui who's now drowning
in his own tears.
"Rukawa..."
Rukawa turned around to see the owner of the voice.
"Miyagi-san" Right there and there he wants to break down but he has to stand for the sake of
the team. He's strong but he can't stop the stinging ache in his heart.
"Rukawa, Kogure-san is a good man right? Tell me he's in a good place now, a much better place
that ours." Miyagi stammered and held Rukawa.
"Hai sempai. He is in a good place, a peaceful place." He answered in his emotionless voice.
"Where is Ayako-san, sempai?" Rukawa asked, careful not to let out a sob.
Miyagi lets go of Rukawa and sat down beside the wall.
"She fainted and is in the clinic right now. She found Kogure-san, lying face down in a crucifix
position surrounded... no, drowning in his own blood, pool of blood." Miyagi informs Rukawa,
while he too controlling not to break down. "But I can't figure out why would someone do that
to him? For as along as I know him, he's the kind of person who can't hate anyone!" Miyagi now
stated in an angry tone. "Whoever did that to him is insane!!!" he continued, "can't the killer
just kill him with a gun?! Instead his body is slashed and I bet my arms and legs that he banged
him in every wall in the locker room! The room is showered with blood!!!! Oh my god!!!" Miyagi
lost all his control and sobbed his heart out.
"Oh kami-sama!" Rukawa silently cursed, face still stoic as ever but he too can't stop some
tears from falling in his face.
The whole basketball team is in the school gym, they didn't know why but it's like a sanctuary
to them. A place for them to laugh, enjoy the moments with each other, tease each other and just
be with each other. Now the feeling's emptiness for the one who most of the time holds them
together is gone. This place is now hell for them, everything in the gym including the mop
reminded them of their vice-captain who always calms them, and supports them. But they lost that
someone, that someone whom they would never forget and will be forever in their hearts.
That afternoon practice never took place.
Akagi Residence
4:05 PM
"Hai, Mrs. Mitsui. He's seems calm now but still doesn't wants to go home. I'll call you at once
if he decides to. Arigatou." Akagi eyes landed on the lying, unmoving form of Mitsui in his bed
as he puts down the phone.
Him and Mitsui may sometimes be in each other's throat never the less, they're still friends with
a bond that will be forever there. He's worried that if he let Mitsui go he'll end up getting
trashed. Mitsui's tears never stopped till noon. And now he just stares at the ceiling with
nothing on his face, if not for the breathing movements of his chest Akagi would've thought he's
dead. Lifeless, that's a good word to describe Mitsui's state right now.
"Akagi, I have to go now, I need to check up on how's Aya-chan's doing." Miyagi said while
looking at Mitsui with sorrow in his eyes and heart. He along with Sakuragi and Rukawa stayed
together the whole day with Akagi and Mitsui. They never did attend their classes that morning,
no one has the heart to.
The tension in Akagi's room was getting worse and worse. The tears may have stopped but the pain
grows more and more.
"I'm going too, Gori" added Sakuragi. Not waiting for a reply he got up and started walking
towards the door not looking at either Mitsui or his other teammates.
"Hey guys, do you think Kogure is waiting for me back home?"
That stopped Sakuragi from walking. Miyagi resisted but failed, tears are now again present in
his eyes. Rukawa stood beside the wall, piercing blue eyes focused now on a laughing Mitsui.
"Haha... he even told me that we can do *other things* since his parent's won't be home till
tomorrow evening! Haha! What a lame joke for Kogure to play!" Mitsui laughed at the ceiling.
"I guess, I'm going home now too, Akagi" he said while sitting up.
Akagi is helpless, the sight before him totally crushed his heart. He can't do anything but help
the poor boy up his feet. "Miyagi, humor him for a while. I'll call his parents" he handed
Mitsui to Miyagi.
"Ne, Miyagi? Kogure's just so bad at playing a prank! Haha!"
Miyagi could only look down at the floor as he supports his teammate/friend. "Mitsui-san...
please... accept the fact that he's..."
"Dead? Dead my ass! That boy couldn't act even if his life depends on it! Look why don't you go
home with me and I'll prove it to you that he's there waiting in our front door!"
More tears came strolling down Miyagi's face. Rukawa helped Miyagi placed Mitsui in the den's
sofa, still Mitsui didn't stop to tell them about him and Kogure.
"... and on Saturday's our Anniversary!!! One year Anniversary! Can you believe it?! Oi, Sakuragi
what do you think should I give Min-kun? Maybe a book, he loves to read! Did you guys know that
we went to Osaka just to look for the hardbound edition of the book he wanted? Sometimes that
guy's unbelievable! Haha! And also when we went to his..."
/Kami-sama, Mitsui may not be a saint but he doesn't deserve this!/ Akagi can't bear what he
sees. Mitsui's so vulnerable right now, one minute he's happy the next he can be suicidal.
"Akagi-san, the door." Rukawa interrupted the captain's trail of thoughts.
"Oh mom! Why are you here? I know! Kogure asked you to pick me up right? He can be impatient
sometimes!" Mitsui said as he walks towards his mother.
"Oh son..." A mother cannot bear the pain to see her son suffering. One look at Mitsui and she
broke down. Fortunately Akagi's mother was there to catch her.
"Akagi-san. Thank you for taking care of Hisashi for us." Mr. Mitsui bowed infront of Akagi's
parents, then walks out toward their car holding his son.
"Hey dad! You too! Oh man! Why did Kogure involve you too? Sometimes even I don't know what he's
thinking... hahaha!!!"
They still can hear Mitsui telling his father what he thinks of Kogure's prank to him.
