~*~*~Cruising For Love~*~*~

Prologue

Coach Anzai pushed his glasses up once more as he surveyed the faces surrounding him....

Sakuragi was acting quite edgy. Gradually shifting weight form one foot to another. Ryota was also a bit tense; since he was now the captain of the team, showing his serious side proved to be even harder than attempting to dunk. Mitsui was standing upright on the side. As if a soldier being summoned by his captain for he idolizes Coach Anzai very much. Rukawa was cool, as usual, but his eyes were wary and curious.

All four star players of the Shohoku basketball team was wondering why their coach made them stay this late after practice...

'Punishment maybe...for throwing the ball at Mitchi's face.....' Sakuragi thought nervously.

'What can I do? Even if I'm the captain they wouldn't even listen to me!' Ryota mused.

'Please Coach Anzai...I swore I wouldn't fight anymore. It's just that Sakuragi....' Mitsui's thoughts raced his mind.

'Why am I included here?! It's the d'aho's fault!' Rukawa thought angrily.

"Sakuragi, Miyagi, Mitsui, Rukawa......" Coach Anzai started.

All four boys stared at the white-haired Buddha waiting.....

"All of you have performed well this year. Congratulations! You made me so proud and happy....." He continued.

"Therefore as a treat, you're all going on a cruise-a vacation!"

"NANI?! Cruise?!" Sakuragi bellowed.

"Coach, a cruise? Why?" Miyagi asked.

"Because as I said, to help you relax a bit...." Anzai answered, his eyes twinkling. "The world is not all about basketball. You need to enjoy your teenage years....Have some fun, for a change."

"But the inter-high!" Mitsui argued.

"The inter-high is still a long time. Besides the cruise is only a few days...."

"Coach Anzai...are you sure with this?" Ryota asked, looking at Coach Anzai as if he has suddenly grown 3 heads or something.

"Yes, yes." The white haired Buddha answered with a nod.

"Well, if you say so..." Mitsui said.

"I'm in too!" Miyagi nodding vigorously.

".....alright." Rukawa finally spoke up.

"Me too! Me too! I'm coming too! The tensai is coming, of course!!!" Sakuragi squealed like a 5 year old.

Coach Anzai bid his boys goodnight as they started their walk home....

"Wow! I can't believe it! A cruise!" Mitsui said with a grin.

"Yeah. Lots of food and finally a time to relax....." Miyagi added, turning to Rukawa. "How about you, Rukawa?"

"Sure. Great." No reaction. Ice prince himself.

"Hey. Maybe we could bring a camera!"

"I'll start packing tonight!!!"

"I'm going shopping tomorrow! Wanna come?"

"Alright! New shorts! New shirts! New shades! New cap!"

"We're gonna have lotsa fun!!!"

"Hey! Sakuragi!" Ryota and Mitsui halted. Rukawa also turned around. The red-haired monkey has been silent since their way home. Strange. His forehead was wrinkled with worry.

"What's up?" Miyagi asked.

"Well, guys I...I'm....I just wanted to ask...." Sakuragi stammered, apparently not wanting to say what's bothering him.

"Spit it out, Sakuragi!" Mitsui insisted.

Sakuragi look up, his ears slightly red and his cheeks turning pink.

"........eeeer-what's a cruise?"
