**********************************************************************

A normal school day. He glanced out of the classroom window, bored. As

he slowly felt his eyelids drooping, a flash of red caught his eye. His

eyes snapped open. The girls who were staring admirably at him from a

distance were startled by his sudden action. Azure eyes scanned the

school yard for that familiar flash of red again. The target was

spotted walking briskly towards the school gate. As the pair of eyes

followed the red-headed figure earnestly, the owner had the urge to

leave his seat immediately and give chase. He had longed to tell his

best partner at court about how he really felt about him. But somehow,

he could not find the courage to do so, for fear of rejection, added on

by the fact that his crush was more popular than the boy expected. As

the other students dispersed, he saw something that made him narrow his

slanted eyes.





Unhappy with what he saw, he made his way down towards the redhead who

was pinned against the wall by someone else. Someone tall.




==============================



Hanamichi was in a hurry to meet Youhei and the rest at Danny's after

his detention class. There was no basketball practice that particular

day, and it was quite some time since he had the chance to hang out

with his guntai. He hastily made his way to the school gate. He was

supposed to meet them half an hour ago! Kuso...he cursed the teacher

for keeping him in class longer. Walking briskly towards the school

gate, he was too occupied to notice someone tall leaning against the

school gate. As soon as he stepped out of the boundaries of school, he

was tugged roughly and slammed against the wall non-too-gently.

Fortunately, the school grounds were empty, or Hanamichi would have

died, having someone in school see him being pinned down by someone

else. A guy, nonetheless. He glared up at the smiling face of his

'attacker', who had him firmly pinned to the wall, with both hands on

either side of Hanamichi's head.



"Koniichiwa, Hana-chan."



He flashed a smile that could have sent anyone, guy or girl, melting

right there and then.



"What do you want Sendoh? I'm in a hurry!!"



Hanamichi struggled even harder against the cheerful Ryonan player, but

the taller boy had an advantage.



"I just wanted to see how you were doing, Hana-chan"



Hanamichi winced at the name Sendoh called him by. Sendoh had told him

that he liked him a few weeks ago, but he did not gave a definite

answer. Which was the most possible reason why Sendoh was making his

moves on him so fast. But how could he answer something like that when

he himself was confused about his sudden change in feelings for a

certain fox-eyed boy? He was really confused, especially when his heart

still felt like it had run a hundred miles when he saw Haruko. Rukawa

and him had become better partners after his back injury, but nothing

more than that. He still did not know why he seemed to like the fox a

whole lot better than before. So how could he give an answer to the

smiling boy in front of him when he did not even know who he liked? So

far, he had not resisted any of Sendoh's advances, all because he

wanted to know if he could escape from his winding feelings and like

someone else.



He struggled somemore and finally caught hold of Sendoh's arms by his

side and asked distractedly.



"What do you want!?"



Sendoh was so surprised at Hanamichi's sudden outburst, he lifted his

arms slightly, loosening the space he had Hanamichi trapped in. Seeing

a chance to escape, Hanamichi ducked under Sendoh's arms, and made a

run for it. Unfortunately, Sendoh grabbed his arm and pulled on firmly,

a sweet smile still plastered over his face.



"Before you go, Hana-chan, mind telling me if you like mint-chocolate?"



Hanamichi looked at Sendoh disbelievingly. A dumb question to ask, but

how did he guess correctly?



He quickly nodded.



"Why do you wanna know?"



"Valentine's Day is close and I was just thinking of announcing my love

for you to this school with my cooking skills, Hana-chan. ^^"



" *gulp* errr....whatever." Hanamichi tried flinging Sendoh's arms away

and succeeded barely this time. He ran away quickly, already much later

than he should be. Sendoh watched the retreating back of the redhead in

amusement. 'Kawaii...' He grinned to himself and walked away, whistling

a cheerful tune. At this point, another tall figure stepped out from

the shadows. His hands were shaking in anger, furious that he was

always one step too late when it came to Sendoh Akira from Ryonan.



"Valentine's Day chocolate eh? Well...we'll see about that." Rukawa

walked away with a deep resolve to get a crash course on making

chocolates within five days time.
