Chapter 3
"Girls just wanna have fun..."
"Hi, Kae-kun! Miss me?"
Miyaru Sakeshito entered the now empty gym of Shohoku, placing her backpack down on the cold gym floor, still smiling. No one is around anymore, except Rukawa, who was looking at her with his cold killer blue eyes.
"Now, what does she want from me?" thought Rukawa, obviously annoyed and uncomfortable by her presence.
"Can I watch you practice?" she asked politely and sweetly.
"......"
"What?"
Rukawa was annoyed alright, maybe even pissed off. All he wanted was to be left alone by this pesky kindergarden teacher. He wanted to have peace. Some precious time to practice his skills by himself. "Is that too much to ask for?"
"No, you can't. Go home." he answered rudely. "I wasn't able to concentrate on my practice game a while ago, thanks to you! Now quit bugging me!!"
"Why?" Miyaru asked, startled.
"Because I said so." he replied shortly.
Miyaru stared at Rukawa, her eyebrows raised then after a few seconds she smiled.
"I know what you're thinking...." she said in a sing-a-song voice. "I know why you don't want me to watch you practice..."
"....."
Miyaru started dancing in circles, swaying her hips and snapping her fingers, apparently pleased with herself. Finally, she stopped and looked at Rukawa, eye to eye and said-
"You don't want me to watch you practice because you're conscious-."
"Huh? Conscious?" Rukawa asked, bewildered.
"Uh-huh...You're so tense when I'm around. You weren't even able to concentrate on your game a while ago." she said, smiling at him, teasing. "I wonder why...?"
"I'm not conscious." Rukawa said firmly.
"Oh, really? Then why can't I stay?" Miyaru asked for the second time.
Rukawa knew that she had won. If he told her to get lost, she surely wouldn't quit asking him, why? She was the type of girl that doesn't easily accept defeat and would find means and ways to get what she wants. "Funny...she's just like me." he thought.
"So? Could I stay then and watch you practice?" Miyaru asked, snapping Rukawa from his thoughts.
"Suit yourself." replied Rukawa flatly.
Starting his practice, he made several jump shots (no miss, of course!!!) then dribble and defense. Rukawa imagined an invisible rival (maybe, Sendoh) defensing him. After thirty minutes he decided to take a break. Wiping his face with his already soaking wet towel, he looked at the clock on the wall. 7:00. He scanned the gym to find Miyaru. She was silent the whole time he was practicing, odd because most girls wouldn't shut up if they see him playing. The gym was empty, Miyaru was not there. "Maybe she got bored..." he thought, reaching for his water bottle, he was about to drink when he realized that it was empty. "Kuso...." he cursed silently.
"Here, Kae-kun." Miyaru suddenly appeared in front of him, handing him her own sports bottle.
"Where'd she come from?" he thought, startled at her sudden apperance.
"C'mon. I went out for a while to refill this in the faucet." she pressed the bottle in his hands. "Don't be shy...."
"She's treating me like a kid!!!" Rukawa thought, his blood boiling. "She probably got used to talking around kids, but that does not mean she has to treat everyone like one!!!"
"No, thanks." shoving the bottle back to her hands.
"But you thirsty...you can't play well if your thirsty. You won't have enough energy. You need to quench your thirst." she said, waving the water bottle in front of Rukawa's face. She was acting as if Rukawa was a three year old kid who she was forcing to eat green, leafy and nutritious vegetable.
"As if I didn't know that already..." thought Rukawa grimly, forcing himself not to roll his eyes.
Miyaru didn't get any reply from him so she said, "Oh, okay. If that's what you want...Just don't blame me if you faint in our game."
"...our...game?" Rukawa's ears must be deceiving him. " This thin, fragile kindergarden teacher wants to play one on one against ME? ME? Kaede Rukawa? Super Rookie? Ace of Shohoku?"
"Yup, you heard right, champ! I decided to play against you! Why? 'Coz I can't stand watching others have fun while I just stand here looking like an idiot." she smiled at the shocked look on Rukawa's face.
"Don't worry, I've brought me own stuff." she started unpacking her backpack. Rubber shoes...shirts...towel...
Rukawa was watching her, still stunned. " Is she nuts?" that was all he could think of.
"Where's your locker room?"
"......"
"Hey, I can't just change in front of you!!! I'm not stupid, y'know!!! Now, where's your locker room?" she asked impatiently, crossing her arms.
"She really is serious about playing against me." he thought. "But what should I do? What if she trips and hurt herself? Worse, what if she starts crying? I couldn't stand a girl's shrill cries..."
"Well...I'm waiting, y'know" Miyaru said, now stomping her foot.
Rukawa studied her appearance, "She doesn't look like a wimp or a crybaby. Besides, it'll be much better for me to have a real opponent, even if it's just a kindergarden teacher, rather than practice with an invisible Sendoh." Rukawa pointed to the door that leads to the locker room.
"Finally! Thanks! she hurried off to change.
"She really is weird..." he said to himself.
After a few minutes, she came out.
Rukawa stared at her, her clothes. Miyaru was wearing a tight sleeveless shirt ( Rukawa could probably see the outline of her bra..) and a very short shorts. Her long hair was tied back to a ponytail, so it won't get to her eyes and distract her. "She wearing that?" Rukawa's eyes was about to pop out.
Miyaru was warming up when she noticed Rukawa was staring at her. (for the 3nd time!!!)
"What?!?!" she asked through gritted teeth.
"You...." Rukawa started, eyeing her clothes.
"This is only a little game. No need to follow dress rules, right? Besides, I have the right to wear what I want!" she said, winking at Rukawa, who looked away instantly.
"Yeah.. sure.. whatever..." he mumbled.
"Alright then!!!" Miyaru pumped her fist in the air. "Let the game begin!!!"
