Chapter 4: It's Showtime!

Miyaru started to walk towards the court. She stopped right in front of Rukawa, and said "So...who's gonna go first?, Kae-kun?"

Rukawa looked at her angelic face, then his eyes couldn't resist moving down her body, "I never noticed her body before...so...sexy..." , he thought.

"Hey! Earth to Kaede Rukawa! I'm talking to you!" She half-shouted in his ears. She smiled, then added "Since you don't wanna talk, I'll go first." Snatching the ball from Rukawa's hand in a swift move.

"She's fast too..." Rukawa thought, surprised that he was caught off-guard.

Miyaru dribbled the ball and thought for a while, "why not make it more exciting?" she said, a grin forming at the corner of her mouth.

"What do you mean?" Rukawa demanded, puzzled.

"Let's have a bet!"

"Bet?"

"Uh-uh", she nodded, "Let's see............" She started pacing around with the ball still in her hand.

"Now what kind of crazy idea is she thinking of?" Rukawa thought, eyeing her carefully.

"Ah-ha! I got it!" she cried all of a sudden, "If I win this game, you'll have to do something for me."

"Something?"

"Yup! You will-" she paused for a while, her eyes glinting mischievously "Walk me to school for a week and take me out during weekends!"

Rukawa stared at Miyaru incredously "She has the nerve!". An obvious 'No Way' was displayed on his face.

Miyaru pretended not to notice, "So what will your condition be, ne Kae-kun?"

Rukawa looked at her, he appeared to be thinking very hard, "Okay, it's payback time..."

"Do my laundry for a week and-" he smirked, imitating Miyaru, "leave me alone, for good!"

Miyaru froze at his words, she had been expecting the "Leave me alone" part but she doing Kaede Rukawa's laundry? Fits of laughter escaped from her mouth. She was laughing so hard that tears started streaming from her eyes. Rukawa, however, was still serious and composed as ever.

"Okay...agreed! Let's start then. shall we?" she smiled again. "10 minutes, right?"

"........."

Miyaru started dribbling the ball, moving towards the court, she was nearing the freethrow line when a fihure suddenly stepped in, bloacking her way. Rukawa. "Now I know why he's the ace player...." she thought, backing a little. She was planning how to get past him when suddenly-

"Oh no!"

Rukawa had stolen the ball from her. He ran towards the other court, Miyaru chasing him from behind. He went straight to the goal and made an easy lay-up. Shoosh.

"Nice..." Miyaru smiled at him as he past the ball to her. "I'll heat up pretty soon so watch out!"

8 minutes has past and the score is 3-17. Rukawa was leading by 14 points. Miyaru was still smiling, though, acting so cool. Rukawa was starting to think that she has a mental disorder, he passed the ball to her.

She flashed her killer smiles once more, she checked her watch, "Oops, 2 minutes left. Better get serious already. Besides I don't wanna be his laundry women for the week..."

Rukawa watched her closely, "I wonder what she meant by 'get serious'."

Miyaru dribbled the ball, seeing that Rukawa was busy with his thoughts she decided to take this chance to attack.

"...nani?"

Rukawa's eyes widened as he noticed that Miyaru was already speeding towards the goal and he was just standing there like an idiot, unaware of anything. He started to ran towards the court but was too late, Miyaru had already released the ball.....

"Yessss!" the ball fell neatly into the net.

"It's 5-17 now! She jumped for joy. "I'm still catching up!"

Rukawa was stunned by her movements, "She's faster than Ryota........"

One minute left and the score was tie: 17-17

Rukawa wasn't able to stop Miyaru and her lightning speed anymore, from the time her hands get the hold of the ball she would easily get past Rukawa and make a lay-up. Her movements with so swift that even before Rukawa can react she has already scored. Rukawa had never seen anyone move that fast.......

"The ball's still mine..." she cried, happily.

"This girl's unbelievable..." Rukawa thought, for the first time in his basketball life, he was feeling nervous. The thought of him carrying this kinder garden taecher's books going to school was making his head hurt like hell....

Miyaru came up with the ball. She dribbled the ball in front of Rukawa. He was staring at her then back at the ball afraid that if he blinks he just might miss her move and blew it!

"Now you see me...." she whispered "...now you don't."

Suddenly she seem to vanish into thin air because of her speed, Rukawa was quick to respond too, he manage to predict her movemnents and blocked her way.

"K'so..."

She stepped back and positioned herself in the three-point. Rukawa lunged forward, attempting to black her shot but the ball was already sailing in the air towards the goal even before Rukawa's finger could touch it.

"Nooooo..."

"Go in...."

Shooooosh.

"YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!"
