Then again… Standard disclaimers applied.
The next day, Rukawa cycled to school. And like always, he crashed into a million things. First was some stupid dog, next was another bike, then a lamp post. In other words, the things he crashed into got bigger and bigger after every crash. Luckily, the maximum size for his crashes was a 'Range Rover'. Then, at school, he bumped into his usual victim.
CRASH!!
"Itai…" Sakuragi said.
Rukawa just blinked in disbelief since he didn't get yelled at like he always did. 'He must be sick…' Like always, Rukawa will be aided by the 'Rukawa Shinentai'. Sakuragi was immune to this and just left Rukawa with his 'servants'. As for Rukawa, he simply walked away. With the girls surrounding him like a super star. (Like he isn't! ^_~) in class, Rukawa did the usual, sleep.
During recess, the gundan went to Sakuragi's class.
"……." Sakuragi was staring at the sky like a zombie. 'I guess… I'll have to. No matter how much I hate him. He's still… sigh…'
"Oi, Hanamichi. Ha…na…mi...chi..." Takamiya said, waving his hand in front of Sakuragi's face.
"No use. He's dead." Said Ookusu.
"Hey, come on now Sakuragi, cheer up. It's not like you to be so blue you know. Not over a girl."
That sure hit some sense into his head. Because he snapped and stood up. "What do YOU know about girls?!! Hmph!!" Then, he stormed out of his class.
"O...oi! Hanamichi! Chotto!" Noma said. Outside, Sakuragi bumped into Rukawa. He glared at Rukawa. The gundan were expecting a battle royal until… Sakuragi smiled stupidly.
"Rukawa!!! The person I've wanted to meet!! How are you doing?" he said and slinged his hand on Rukawa's shoulder like a best friend.
"Hanasei. (let go)" Rukawa said in his usual annoyed voice.
"Aw… c'mon! You don't have to be mean! So…um… did you send the letter to her?"
Rukawa was puzzled by the statement. "How did you…?"
"Well, the tensai is good in everything! That includes investigation and spying!! NYAHAHAHAHA!!!" He said, eyes gleaming. "You don't mind me calling you Rukawa right? It's kind of awkward if I call you 'oni-chan' you know."
"…Yeah… did you follow me home last night?" Rukawa asked accusingly.
"Can't tell. Hee, hee, hee…" He said, snickering like a monkey.
"So you did…"Rukawa folded his arms.
"So, uh…what'd she say?" Rukawa shrugged. "Never mind then, time will tell. Thanks for everything Rukawa." Sakuragi said, smiling to his rival. Rukawa was quite taken aback by his words. "You know, you're not as bad as I thought you were."
"Hmph…" Rukawa replied and walked pass Sakuragi to go to his sanctuary. But, before he went any further, he stopped and said, "You seem confident. You think she'd want you?"
"I'll do anything for a person like her. She's… exotic. There's something in her which made me…"
"Hai, hai…" Rukawa said and walked away.
"You'll never understand the feeling unless you fall in love!" Sakuragi called out.
Rukawa just continued on walking. He reached the roof and to his delight, it was very shady. It almost look like it'll rain. "… 'Love'… It can change a person. But…what's love actually?"
That afternoon, Rukawa was cycling back home from practice when he passed an alley. It was noisy and from the sound of it, he can tell a fight was going on. He was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice crying out in pain. He approached the dark alley and to his surprise, Mitsui was lying on the ground with a number of gangsters and 2 guys stood kicking at him, laughing. Rukawa took out his basketball ball and threw it.
"Who's there?!! Said the other guy. Rukawa approached them and both the assailants froze, noticing his height. Rukawa looked at his fallen friend.
'He's bleeding…' Rukawa thought. So, he kneeled down and checked for any signs of life; and he got a pulse. Weak but at least a pulse. "You guys will pay for this." Rukawa suddenly said. Before the gangsters could react, Rukawa gave them his killer blows and in less than 5 minutes, the gangsters were on the floor, unconscious. Rukawa got himself a scratch on his left arm and he himself received quite a number of blows from the assailants. He was about to help Mitsui up when he felt someone behind him. Rukawa turned and saw a girl. 'She look familiar…' he thought.
At Rukawa's house…
"…Thanks again." Said Rukawa, looking down at a girl who was helping him bandage his arm.
"No problem, Rukawa-kun. I just happen to be around. Plus, my house is just next door. So, it's no bother." She said smiling.
Then, Rukawa heard Mitsui moan and shift on his bed. Then, he bolted up. Since he was bruised everywhere, he winced in pain. "You shouldn't do that. You're bruised everywhere so, you should lie down." Said the girl and pushed him back on the bed.
"Where am I?" Mitsui asked.
"My house." Rukawa replied.
"Thanks for saving me, Rukawa. I owe you one. But… can you do me a favor?"
"… What?"
"Don't tell anyone about this. Please…?"
"… I don't know…" He rubbed his chin.
"Aw… come on!"
The girl giggled. "Rukawa-kun's just bullying you. Of course he won't tell anyone. He barely talks." Rukawa just gave her a look. She giggled again.
"And you are…?" Mitsui asked.
"I'm Hanada Miyuki. You must be Mitsui Hisashi."
"How… did you know me?....... have we met?"
"Maybe we have, maybe we haven't. You're popular, you know." She said and winked. Mitsui blushed. "Ah, by the way, Rukawa-kun, have you eaten yet?"
"I'm fine."
Miyuki shook her head and waved her finger. "I don't think so. Your sister asked me to take care of you. Especially your diet. And no buts." Rukawa was about to protest when the doorbell rang.
"Excuse me." Then, he went out.
Miyuki smiled and shook her head as she observed Rukawa's retreating form. "Hey, uh…Hanada-san…"
"Call me Miyuki. You're a friend of Rukawa's right? You don't have to be so formal."
"Uh… hait. Miyuki. Which school are you from?"
"Me?" Miyuki approached him and sat on the bed. "You've seen me somewhere before."
"I have?" Mitsui said, surprised. She nodded and walked to the door.
"Try remembering. You, Kogure, Akagi…" She said, counting her fingers.
'Well… she does look familiar…' Mitsui studied her carefully. 'She mentioned our teams' names, we must have seen her in our games.' As he studied her, she was studying him. She had hazel nut colored hair, greenish eyes, slim figure, which made Mitsui think she was a model of some sort, and a very soft and breezy voice. In short, Mitsui was enticed.
"Anyway, don't think too hard. You'll remember soon enough."
"You seem to know Rukawa pretty well."
"Well, not as well as you might think but, yes, quite well. Since his parents had to go overseas for their family business, you know. He lives alone and so do I. But, I've never seen him bring any friends before. So, I invite him over to my house quite frequently. And get this: He's not as cold as you think he is." She said, smiling mysteriously, making Mitsui's heart melt.
'God… she's gorgeous.'
"What? Something on my face?" She said when she noticed him staring at her.
"Uh… no. It's just, Rukawa's taking an awful lot of time just to answer the door doesn't he?"
"Hm… now that you mention it…" She turned and was about to get out of the room when Mitsui stopped her.
"Ah..! Miyuki-san, I'd like to take a tour around this house, since I've never been to such a huge house before. Do you mind?"
"Of course I don't. And neither would Rukawa. Come on. Let's go see what's keeping him."
So, Miyuki led Mitsui down the stairs and the sight which greeted Mitsui was simply fantastic. He felt as if he was in a castle. The staircase was in a two-sided spiral form like the ones in 'Beauty and the Beast', a grand looking chandelier hanging from the ceiling, around him were well furnished and polished mirrors, expensive looking vases and crystals decorated the place and the interior was bigger than the outside. "Wow…" Mitsui can't help from saying it. Miyuki just smiled at him.
"Rukawa-kun? Who's at the door?" Miyuki asked with a hint of concern when she noticed Rukawa froze in shock. "Rukawa-kun?" She asked again, approaching him.
