Yay! I'm on with Chapter 2! Hope you like it!!! Wait for the hot scenes on the following chapters ok!

Chapter 2 – A Pair of Blue Eyes

She walked down the corridors of Shohoku High. She was new in here and honestly, she felt like a stranger roaming the house of someone he didn't even know.

Second year section 9… first year section 8…first year section 9…first year section 10… Here it is! At last, she found it! First year section 10. Wait, First year section 10? Does she really belong to this class? She, who was a scholar since she was a child? She, who entered Shohoku just because of scholarship? How dare they put her into that section! But maybe it's just right. No matter what, she's still a late comer. She was 3 months late because of her stupidity or should I say, intelligence? No one knows... She's new and a beginner…

The door was closed but she could see students sitting in their respective chairs and listening to the teacher by means of the small glass window. Will she knock on the door? Or just come in? No, the former will do better. She softly knocked three times on the door trying not to disturb the whole class.

"Come in." she heard the teacher said.

"Ahhh..Ahhh…Good…Good morning sir!" she clumsily said while trying to make a friendly smile but actually failed doing it.

"Well, good morning, may I know who you are?"

"Sir, I..I…I'm the new student, I mean, a transferee, a… a… a late comer in particular."

"Oh, I see! I remember something that the principal told me about a transferee student. Ok, introduce yourself first."

"Hi! I'm…" but before she could continue she saw all her classmates covering their noses and staring at her like she was a witch.

"I… I'm sorry! I know I smell bad because on my way here, there's someone with a pair of blue eyes riding a bike that I bumped in to and he smelled like a garbage can. No, actually he looks like one! He bumped at me without even saying pardon or something and then touched my… Oh, secret…then he just went away! He's a pest! A maniac! A pervert! I'll kill him if I saw him!" she said in a voice that is half-childish, one-fourth angry and one-fourth soft like a lady's voice.

The boys were smiling over her honest revelation of what happened and looked at her with tempting eyes. If she only acted more seriously and more feminine, all the boys would fall for her but since she is childish, innocent and frank, maybe ¼ were left in her supposed-to-be admirers.

"By the way" she continued. "I'm Aia Yuuiji. I hope we can all be friends! Nice meeting all of 'ya!" She must have continued talking and saying more about herself when she noticed something… she thought she heard some weird sound… No, it's just her imagination! She just continued to speak and told her classmates about her hobbies when…ZzZzzzzzZzzzzzzZzzz…Now, it's not imagination! She turned her head and tried to figure out where the sound was coming from.

She found it. A guy who looks familiar to her, with black hair and a white complexion was sleeping, with a swamp of saliva formed on his desk, and was the source of the ugly sound she is hearing.

"Hey! You idiot! Why are you sleeping while someone like me is talking in front of you!!! Wake up, baka!" Aia said in an angry voice.

"Miss Yuuiji, leave him alone. He wouldn't wake up even if you shout a thousand times louder than your usual shout."

"Oh, I see."

"You may now sit on the chair next to the sleeping guy."

"Thanks, Sir"

Where am I actually going? At the classroom? No. What am I gonna do there? Sleep all-day and let my classmates stare at me with heart-shaped eyes! No. I'll stay at the rooftop. This is my place, my territory, no, OUR territory. The rooftop… it was were I actually saw her… the place where I first saw her light blue crystal-clear eyes… the place where I end up sleeping all day after being kicked out in the classroom. The rooftop…

She was about to settle down and relax on her seat but when she accidentally turned to her right, she got a close look of the guy sleeping on his desk. She remembered something with that kind of face. She knew someone possessing that face… but too bad she can not figure out who he was.

Rukawa was presently dreaming of him beating all the basketball players and being the number one not only in Japan but also in America. When he was about to receive his award, someone from above took it from the hands of the giver. The guy was red-haired and looks like a monkey or maybe a matchstick for some.

"Bwahahahahahah!!! Kitsune, you're not worthy for this award! Only the tensai, Sakuragi Hanamichi has the right to receive it and offer it to my dearest Haruko-chan! Bwahahahahah!!!!"

"Shut up, Do'aho, you're messin' my day."

"Good bye, fox man, I'll not be messin' your day, I'll be messin' you're whole life! Hahahaha!!!! I'm the tensai! The genius basketman… Sakuragi Hanamichiiii!!!!"

"Wait, give me back my award, Do'aho! Do'aho! Do'aho!"

"Do 'aho…." he whispered as he woke up from his sleep. Aia noticed that he was already awake and turned her face in order to see him. Rukawa turned to his left and saw Aia which also looks very familiar to him.

Blue eyes…A pair of blue eyes…Aia thought. When did she last saw blue azure eyes? Yesterday? Last night? This morning? Yeah, this morning! She looked once again in the guy situated in her right. She stood and look at him closely…

"YOU'RE THE PERVERT GUY THAT I SAW THIS MORNING!!!!!!" Aia yelled in a voice enough for the whole class to hear. The students were puzzled. Rukawa, too, was surprised. So, he thought. This is the crazy girl shouting pervert on the streets this morning and actually referring him as the one being pervert! This girl is out of her mind! She's insane! Meanwhile the students where actually trying to figure out if what Aia said was really the truth. The whole class was now talking about it which makes a lot of noise and irritated the teacher. The teacher obviously can not do something to control the students talking about the incident so he just dismissed the whole class.

After classes, a girl named Hikari approached Aia.

"Hi, Ms. Aia Yuuiji. I thought you need someone to talk to and be with, when you're here, in short, a friend." she said with a big smile on her face.

"Oh, thanks! I'm glad being with you, so, what's your name?"

"Hikari Shinomori and you're a transferee… but… it seems like you're already used in here."

"Well, coz me is me!"

"What?"

"I mean, I'm really like that… I say what I think and express what I feel! I'm comfortable being me! Like a while ago, that pervert!"

"You mean, you really intend to do that?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Oh my! You're really different!"

"Why?"

"All the while we thought you're just getting his attention!?!"

"WHAT!?! And why SHOULD I do that thing?"

"Well, everybody's got an eye for him… in other words… he's a heartthrob."

"What!" Aia said trying to control laughing. "That Pervert! A Heartthrob??? (laugh) You're joking!"

"He really is! Imagine, he's the star player and the ace of Shohoku basketball team! He can dunk 5 times and can score more than 50 points in a game! He's a Super Rookie! He really is fantastic!" (with heart-shaped eyes)

Aia got serious in hearing the words "basketball", "ace player" and "super rookie."

"Did you said…. Basketball?"

"Yeah, anything wrong?" Hikari replied with amazement.

"You said he's the best?"

"Yeah, he is Kaede Rukawa, ace player of Shohoku Team."

Aia smiled evilly and put her hands on her waist like what Sakuragi is usually doing.

"Bwahahahahahah! I'm so lucky! I'll finally have a match with a strong player! (starry-eyed) Kaede Rukawa…. Wait for your match!!!!"

"Whatcha sayin?" Hikari replied now with big bewilderment of what Aia is really thinking.

"So, where can I find him!!!"

"On the rooftop."

"Ok, I'll go there… but wait, what's he doing there"

" (sweatdrop) sleeping…" Hikari replied.

" (sweatdrop) What a heartthrob! I'll be back!"

He was now sleeping comfortably on the rooftop. That's a nice place to sleep. It makes him feel comfortable, complete and ready for the practice in the afternoon. But, someone is disturbing his long and peaceful sleep.

"Blag! Plak! Blag!" Ouch… he felt pain. Somebody is kicking him…

"Wake up you pervert ace of Shohoku! Wake up!"

That voice…he knew it… yes … he can't be wrong… that was the girl calling him pervert that morning and in the streets and in the classroom. He stand up and for the first time, he saw her clearly… The girl was about 5'5" tall with long brown hair continuing up to her waist. Her bangs were long, maybe almost reaching her shoulders which made her look weird and a little bit ragged. Nothing was so special about her except for her light blue crystal clear eyes and the curve of her body, which can not be hidden, even if she's wearing a uniform. Kaede Rukawa did not notice all these things except for the crystal blue eyes, which he tried to ignore all the time.

"You again…" he said in an annoying voice trying to drive away the girl with his creepy attitude. "I don't have time to talk to you… I need to sleep…"

"Shut up and listen to me, you pervert idiot! I challenged you on a one-on-one basketball game this afternoon !"

"What? You're crazy. Go away. I don't need idiots here." He said turning his back on Aia.

Aia tried to go on his front and luckily stopped him from walking.

"Don't turn your back on me! I just wanted a game from you ok!"

"I don't play with girls."

"Well, don't treat me like a girl and treat me like you wanted!"

"Shut up… just who do you think you are just speakin' to me like that."

"Damn you, idiot!!!!" Aia yelled while kicking Rukawa on the face.

"Is she really a girl?" Rukawa thought to himself.

"I said I wanna play with you! Whether you like it or not I'll play with you Rukawa Kaede!"

"Dammit, I don't wanna play with her! You're just wasting your…"

"Play with me or I'll tell others that you're a gay!"

"Darn you…A.."

"Aia Yuuiji is my name, your greatest rival, Rukawa Kaede!"

Shit! What'em I gonna do! This girl's having control of the situation and she's messin' my life!

"Prepare yourself… See you at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the school gym…"

She turned her back on the still confused black-haired guy and a smile was formed on her cheeks as she walked towards the exit of the rooftop.
