"Addicted to You"

Chapter 1: Listening



"Oi defense!! Defense!!" Akagi shouted, clapping his hands.



Another practice game, freshmen 24, seniors and sophomores 21.

Hanamichi goes for a drive, aims a shot

"Under Basketto shooootooo!!" he cried out, unfortunately the shot was too weak that it didn't even touched the ring.

K'so… he flinched inwardly

"Nice pass Hanamichi!!" the small forward hinted as he catches the ball.



Ryota goes for a fast break…

Ryota cringed as the fox guarded him sharply.

K'so, damn it Rukawa get out of the way! He thought

"Oi, Ryo-chin!!! Don't let that kitsune beat you!!" the redhead shouted turning his back from Mitsui who easily breaks away.

"Ryota!! Pass!! Pass!!" Mitsui insisted from behind him.

Mitsui catches the ball and shoots for a three.

The score tied, 24-24, and only 17 seconds to play.

The freshmen's ball, Hanamichi unknowingly passes the ball to Rukawa that drives in for a lay-up…

8…

5…



4…

3…

He shoots…

End of practice game, the ball went in.



"Sugoi!! Sugoi!! Nice practice game guys!! That's all for today!!" ayako exclaimed, passing a towel to Akagi.

The others, except Kogure, Sakuragi, Rukawa and Ayako went inside the locker.

Ayako was fixing the records and doing some checking the team's schedules.

"Hanamichi-kun, Rukawa-kun let's go!!" Kogure shouted, receiving glares from the two.



Rukawa and Sakuragi are in the center of the court, staring at each other, mumbling things to each other.

"You win this time fox, I'll let you go this time!!" he sneered eyeing the kitsune carefully.



"Yare-yare… Dumb Ass" he whispered as he turns and leaves him.

"Why you son of a bi---" Hanamichi slowly approaches him.



/waaaaack!!!/

/waaaaaaack!!/

"Quit it!! When will you ever cooperate with each other?" Ayako shouted angrily.



"Haruko will be very disappointed…Sakuragi… Hanamichi!!" she added wistfully.

"Ah, Haruko-chan? What where did she watched this tensai?" he began asking, his ears flapped with anticipation.

He began shaking the poor girl.

"What? Did you talk to her? What this she say to this tensai Basketto Man?" he added his eyes gleaming with eagerness.



"Sa, sakuragi Hanamichi… your making me dizzy!!" she replied her head falling back and forth, her cap flew to the air.

"Dumb Ass!!" Rukawa sneered. He gets a ball and passes it directly to Sakuragi's back and when he turned to look at him, he passes again a ball now directly to his face.

Sakuragi fell back and Kogure rushes to check on him.

Rukawa looks down at him.

"You'll strangle her to death." He said in a whisper. He looks up, meeting his eyes with hers.

"Nice pass Rukawa!!" she cheered, giving him a two thumbs up.

"You o.k.?" he asked.

hUh?!

Question marks starts on roaming around her.

"Hai!!" she manages to answer. She stooped down and helps Kogure with unconscious redhead.

"Good." Rukawa said, and smile inwardly, and went straight to the locker room.



The locker room was filled with the smell of an expensive perfume.

"Ryo-chin, you try to poison us or something?" the redhead asked pinching his nose, waving his hands wistfully trying to fan Ryota's perfume.



"Oh, I get it!! Another "BOOOOOOOring" dinner with Ayako tonight?" Mitsui insisted tugging the small forward.

"Damare!!" Ryota shouted, combing his hair.



"She will eventually get tired of this, same attempt over and over again." The kitsune fired walking out of the shower. His eyes completely covered by his soaked hair.

"And what do you know Rukawa?" Ryota asked watching his every move.

"Your attempts are same as this Baka no Dumb Ass over here." He replied turns his head towards the redhead.

"Damn you Rukawa!!" Hanamichi retorted, and got back to packing his stuff while chiding himself.

"You're both hopeless." Rukawa added as he walks to the door.

"It's like you know her and what she's doing everyday…" Ryota replied eyeing him carefully.

Rukawa stopped and turns to Ryota.

"All you gotta do is listen, you don't have to do these things… it will never help you…" Rukawa said as he sneered and turned away.

may be he has a past experience or some sort… Ryota thought mystified of the kitsune's different moods.
