*...* means thoughts

Sakuragi was just left behind after Haruko chase after Rukawa. Though he has thought of another plan to get rid of Rukawa, the thought of giving up is always behind him, somewhat whispering him to give up cause its no use, getting Haruko from Rukawa, makes him feel that it would be really hard. For how he saw the glow in Haruko's eyes whenever she saw Rukawa is just making him feel defeated.

It's just 6:00pm, he's taking a walk to the gym, thinking on his way. Once on the gym...

"Argh! Why, why does Rukawa has to be the one that has captured her heart? He doesn't love her, maybe sometimes she just become blind or something. Compare to Rukawa, I'm better! No, I'm the best that she can ever find!* he thought. He paused for a minute which covered the gym an extreme silence. Then let out a big laugh.

"Bwahahah! Ok now I have to go somewhere to fetch something ease my mind, something that will bring me peace for a while, will make me feel free or maybe will take my problems away." he said outloud. Then he stood straight, straighten his clothes then marched out from the gym.

After a couple of hours outside Sakuragi returned to the empty gym...

"Take my hand! Touch my face... Let me feel your embr--*hic*--ace--" he sang at the top of his lungs while walking clumsily holding a bottle of beer.

"*hic* I don't know that I have such a wonderful voice!" he exclaimed in a very high tone. " I'm not just Tensai! I'm also a gooood singer!" then burst out laughing. He took another drink with the beer. "Ahhh! Nice beer! Haruko, Haruko, Haruko! Pls give it one more try for the sake of our---" he suddenly stopped. Just then as if an angel passed the gym. From his position, he tought that he was just the only one in the gym, but he's wrong.

"Haruko??" he whispered.

"Sakuragi??" coach Anzai said, trying to figure out what was wrong with him.

From the vision of Sakuragi, he can see Haruko which in reality is coach Ansai. "Haruko, what are you doing here?" Sakuragi asked in disbelief, that Haruko's with him.

Coach Ansai was confused. *He's calling me Haruko. He must be hallucinating! God, he's drunk, that's why he doesn't know what he was doing* he thought. "Uhm, Sakuragi... I'm not Haruko, I'm--" he hadn't had a chance to finish when suddenly Sakuragi jumped to him and because of his sudden action, they both fell on the ground... "Sakuragi!!!" Anzai yelled.

let's get back to couple of mins. ago...

"Where is he? I'm hungry!" Hakami protested.

"He must be in the gym." Omachu answered.

"Well then let's take a look, maybe we can find him there!" Ookuzu suggested.

"Ok, ok, ok! Let's over this to get this search over. Anyway, why are we looking for him?" Hakami asked.

"How many time did I tell you why?"Ookuzu asked him back.

"Twice..." Hakami said with a half smile.

"that's for the 13th time-- oh no bad luck! Hakami ask him again or maybe something will happen."Omachu stated.

"You believe in that?" he asked then burst out laughing while they're approaching the gym.

"Fine!" Omachu said then threw his hands up in the air.

They're outside the gym. "Sakuragi...!" Ookuzu yelled to give Sakuragi a notice that they were approaching. When they're just few steps away they could here Sakuragi's singing. "Take my hand! Touch my face... Let me feel your embr--*hic*--ace" (Sakuragi)

"What is he up to?" Ookuzu asked the other two.

"Beats me! No wonder its dark out here its because of him." Hakami said while looking up in the sky.

"C'mon guys let's peep in to see what he's doing." Omachu suggested which the other two agreed by following him.

Then they puff their head little at the small on the gym door observing Sakuagi.

"*hic* I don't know that I have such a wonderful voice!" he exclaimed in a very high tone. " I'm not just Tensai! I'm also a gooood singer!" then burst out laughing. He took another drink with the beer. "Ahhh! Nice beer! Haruko, Haruko, Haruko! Pls give it one more try for the sake of our---" he suddenly stopped. Just then as if an angel passed the gym. Which made the three wonder.

"Huh? Why did he stop?" Omachu asked.

"I dunno." the other two replied back almost just at the same time. Then they focus their attention to Sakuragi.

"He whispered something. Did you notice that?"

"Shhh!" the two said with their pointing finger on their lips.

"Oops!"

There was something Sakuragi said that three didn't much understand, but all that they can say is that Coach Ansai (Author: They already knew that it was Coach Ansai that Sakuragi's staring at.) thinking very deep, seems hard to reach.

Before they knew it they saw Sakuragi jump to Coach Ansai. Then they heard Coach Ansai shout his name; "Sakuragi!!"

"Did you see that guys?" Omachu exclaimed in disbelief.

"Well let's go let's give them some time alone." Hakami said with an undescribable tone.

"You guys don't think he's gay, do you?" Ookuzu asked.

"Let's just go!"Omachu then pushed the two away from the gym.

Back to Sakuragi..."

"Haruko!" he said excitedly, hugging Coach Ansai (whom he thought was HAruko)

Coach Ansai doen't know what to do whether yell or do something. "Sakuragi, listen to me I'm not Haruko I'm Coach Ansai!" he said then slap his face, really hard that's what Coach Ansai thought to make him get back to reality, that slap did really hit him hard that it swung his head. Fortunately, that strike help Sakuragi realize the fact.

"Whoa!!! Co-co-coach Ansai!" he said really thunderstruck. "I'm very sorry! I thought you were Haruko." He apologize.

The fact really help and of course the slap that Coach gave him. "That's alright Sakuragi. I think that you have to go home and take some rest."

"Coach, Im sorry, really I am." he said bashfully.

"As I told you Sakuragi. Go now. Hohohoho." he said cheerfully to lighten Sakuragi.

"Are you sure?" He asked his coach.

"Very sure, now go before I change my mind."

"Thanks! And by the way... argh forget it!" with that he walked away from the gym as fast as he can.

Coach Ansai just watched Sakuagi take his steps. When he got out of sight, it was just the time that he realized of Sakuragi's mess on the gym. "Oh no, now I have to clean this mess up!"

Sakuragi now thought that it was a real mess that he had this day. *What does tomorrow wait for me???*

Author: What do you think??? Pls review... Who's this girl? Why and what is she doing, what does she want from Sakuragi?
