Chapter Three

"Hey, Mitsui," Miyagi says

"Huh? What?"

"When Rukawa punched Sakuragi after practice, why did you scream?"

"I was worried," Mitsui lied. 'Looks like Miyagi's getting suspicious...."

"Worried? About Sakuragi?" Miyagi asked dubiously. "Since when were you so serious about him, anyway?"

"I was worried about Sakuragi and Rukawa. I figured they'd be stronger now, having grown a lot. So if they get into a fist fight, they're bound to hurt each other pretty badly," he lied once more. 'Damn! One lie just leads to another!'

"They've been fighting all through high school, you know. And you haven't screamed even once. Not even a whimper was heard from you when they fought. And their high school fights were bloodier than their college ones. So why the jumpy attitude now?" Miyagi persisted.

"Stop giving me the 3rd degree, will you?" came the reply.

"Hey...maybe you were responsible for Sakuragi's weird behavior."

"Why do you say that?"

"I've been thinking," Miyagi said smugly. "First, you show some love potion. Then, Sakuragi falls in love with Rukawa under mysterious circumstances."

"Well..." Mitsui hedged.

"And..when Sakuragi praised Rukawa's eyes-I have to admit they're beautiful- you were smiling like a maniac!" Miyagi said triumphantly. "That proves everything!"

"I guess it's true," Mitsui admitted.

"I knew it! How did it work, anyway?"

"That potion works if you drink it, then someone hurts you in a physical manner. You fall for the person who hurt you. I spiked Sakuragi's soda, telling him it was from Haruko. Of course, he drank the whole thing. Then, at practice, he punched Rukawa, making Rukawa punch him back!!"

"Of course, he's going to fall in love with Rukawa!"

"Exactly!"

"Then that means...the potion really works!"

Mitsui looked proud of himself. "I told you, didn't I?" 'But I'm not going to tell you it was originally meant for Ayako! I'm just going to end up getting killed.'

Miyagi mock worships Mitsui.

In a certain University dorm room...

"Damn! Where's Rukawa!" Sakuragi came to the room, thinking Rukawa went there. "I bought him something, too. A stuffed fox wearing a red number eleven jersey! Cute! Just like Rukawa is..."

"Anyway, I'll place this fox on his pillow and wait for him. When he arrives, we're gonna have some fun..."

Sakuragi sat facing the door and waited for his beloved to arrive.

But were they really going to have fun? Rukawa walked to the room; he was in no hurry to go there. Sakuragi might do something to him the second he arrives. At least he'll have something to protect him...

Rukawa looked at what he carried in his hands. A little spray gun, filled with chloroform. If Sakuragi tries to, well, do something, all he had to do was give him one shot, then he'll be safe.

But before that, he wanted to see someone else. Rukawa turned around and went in another direction. Toward the room of Mitsui and Miyagi. He didn't usually do this, but he was in no hurry to go back to their room. The later he arrived, the better.

"Oh, by the way Miyagi, my cousin also gave me another kind of love potion." Mitsui said.

"What are you, a love potion collector or something? Nevermind. Let me see it."

"Here" Mitsui showed Miyagi a little spray gun. "It works in a different way. You spray it on someone, then that someone loves you."

"Cool..."Miyagi definitely believes in love potions now...

Someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Miyagi shouted.

"Sempai-tachi" It was Rukawa.

"Something wrong, Rukawa?" theyt asked, though they knew what it was all about.

"I hate Sakuragi."

"Of course. You're rivals, you're supposed to hate each other."

"Then why does he act like that?"

"He's just delusional, man." Mitsui told Rukawa. Miyagi covered up his sniggers with fake coughs.

"By the way, Rukawa. What's that in your hands?"

"..." Rukawa looked down.

Mitsui examined the spray gun. He noticed it looked just like his own spray gun, which was in his hands, too. Uh-oh... which one's his? He quickly made a choice. "Here, Rukawa." Mitsui gave Rukawa...the new love potion.

"I gotta go." Rukawa left.

"Um...Mitsui?" Miyagi asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can you let me try that out on Aya-chan?"

"Sure." Mitsui handed Rukawa's choroform filled spray gun to Miyagi.

"Rukawa! You're back!" Sakuragi said happily. "I've missed you so much.! Look! I bought something for you1" he showed Rukawa the fox. Rukawa was turning a sickly shade of green.

"No..."

"Ooohhhh. What's that in your hands, Rukawa?" Sakuragi grabbed the spray gun. "Oh! Perfume! I'll spray it on you!" Sakuragi sprayed the potion on Rukawa's panicked face.

A sweet-smelling scent filled the air. "I'll spray it on me, too, so we'll smell alike!" Sakuragi enthusiastically sprayed potion on his face. "Aaaahhhh."

Rukawa felt confused. He was supposed to black out, if Sakuragi sprayed his face with that thing. But he was...still awake. How?

Sakuragi hugged Rukawa. "I love you more than I love basketball! Mwah!"

Mitsui's potion set in. Rukawa felt himself hugging Sakuragi back. 'Sakuragi was genius, after all. And it was so sweet of him to give that fox...' "I love you, Sakuragi..."


End of chapter. (to be continued)

My notes: Well, that chapter's a bit longer than the others. I think. Just tell me if you want me to make even longer chapters. I can definitely do that.

If Sakuragi seems a bit or really OOC, well, he's supposed to be OOC. He's under control of Mitsui's potion thingie, remember?

It's getting a little RuHana already. If you have any other comments, just say so.

My holidays are coming to an end, so I won't be able to update as often as usual. I have until Jan.5 to post some more chapters, though. After that, maybe I can just update at the end of every week.

That's all. Bye.
