3 weeks after the training started...
"No! No! No!" Keade shouted, trying hard to control his anger.
Yes folks, for once in his life, Keade Rukawa had lost his temper. Why? Well...
"How many times do I have to tell you that you have to bend your knees? It gives off.." Keade said, bending his knees to emphasize his point.
But then, he was interrupted by a redheaded girl, "I know... I know... I gives off the force. Geez, Miyagi said you were quiet!"
"I am more than quiet!" Keade defended, "It's just you that made me this angry! If you would just follow what you are told, then I could go back to being the solitary guy that I am!"
"Fine!" Hanamichi said, "How was that again?"
"Bend your knees," Keade answered, "Then let the force that you get flow through your arms, then finally to your wrist."
Keade monitored his student for a while. He checked Hanamichi's position and posture. After a while, when Hanamichi had learned the basics of a jump shot, the two freshmen played.
The score was 10-3.
Keade noticed that Hanamichi was good in stealing and rebounding. But as for now, she could just shoot from outside the ring with a jump shot. She doesn't know how to drive through and make an easy lay-up. That's the next thing that he decided to teach her, lay-ups.
But the sun was already setting, so he decided to end the day with that. There was always tomorrow, anyway.
"Let's stop there for now," He said.
"Teme!" Hanamichi said, "No way! I'm going to win this game!"
"I said," Keade ordered with a firm tone, "Let's stop this for now, ok?"
"Fine!" Hanamichi answered.
"Come on," Keade said as he put the ball in his bag, "I'll walk you home."
Hanamichi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Excuse me? Is this really Keade Rukawa in front of me?"
"Hai... hai..." Keade said, rolling his eyes, "Now let's just go, ok?"
Hanamichi smiled, which then turned to a grin, "Ok! I'll just get my bag!"
Keade nodded and said, "Do it quickly!"
~~~
As Hanamichi walked with Keade, she couldn't help but blush. She wasn't blind, and definitely not deaf. And she wasn't so innocent either. She knew that she was walking with the Ice King, the most gorgeous guy in Japanese High-School history. As the two of them passed along the streets, she caught the eyes of some girls looking at her with enviousness.
But she just ignored them and smiled. She faced her basketball coach and said, "So Kitsune, why did you offer to walk me home?"
"Hn," Keade answered, "D'aho, don't call me Kitsune."
Hanamichi giggled, "But it fits you!"
Keade faced the tall girl and raised an eyebrow. "And why is that?"
"Because!" Hanamichi answered, "Your eyes look exactly like a fox's eye."
The tall girl quietly giggled, as if she was going to be caught by the principal for being too noisy.
Then she remembered her unanswered question, "You haven't answered me, by the way, Kitsune. Why walk me home?"
Keade sighed and then stopped. He looked over the girl's head and said, "This is your house. I'll answer you another time."
Hanamichi, realizing that what Keade had said is true, grinned and said, "Ok, then, Kitsune! Thanks for walking me home."
With that, she kissed Keade on the cheek and left.
