Chapter 6: Uneasiness





A/N Uhm… who will it be? Rukawa or Ryota? Tell me!! Or could I make two separate endings? Hhhmmm…. R&R's please!!





Hanamichi ends the match with a dunk. The score tells it all. Shohoku won over the Ryonan team.

Everyone cheered.



Ayako and the others hurry to her winning team and congratulate them. They finally made it to the Inter-high. She jumps for joy as she congratulates Kogure. Rukawa took a fast glance at her and notices a silver necklace, with a ring dangling in it. His ring. Ayako manages to look his way and makes her way to him. She then raises her hand and taps his.

"Nice job Rukawa!" she hinted, that made the fox smile.

"Yes." He replied still looking at her.

"On our way to inter-high ne?" she asked.

"Yeah!" he replied.



Ayako turns around and founds Ryota dancing around with Hanamichi. She smiled and went over to them. She turns around finding out that Rukawa still fixed his gaze to her.

"Ne Rukawa-kun!!" she shouts hoping he'll respond.

"Nani?" he asks back walking towards her.

She tips over to reach his ear and whispered her thanks for the ring he gave. He smiled and lets her go to join Ryota and Hanamichi.



That night, everyone decided to celebrate by drinking beer in a nearby restaurant excluding coach Anzai, Kogure, Akagi and Ayako.



Ryota and Hanamichi decided to run a drinking contest that made everyone watching them, laugh. They both didn't know how to drink tequila in a proper way. Hanamichi over-heard a familiar 'D'ho' sneer as he glances back to another table where Mitsui and Rukawa were.

"What the hell this you say Kitsune?!" he roared at him quite drunk.

"Get out of my face… Dumb Ass." He says calmly and turns his back to him.

"Ne, Hanamichi! Don't mind them! C'mon another drink!! My treat!!" Ryota hinted. Tapping Hanamichi's back.

"Why Ryo-chin? I didn't know you could be light hearted when you're drunk mwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" Hanamichi laughs tugging fiercely the small forward.

"Hn. good thing that couple of dumb asses decided to pollute some place else." Rukawa commented taking a small sip from his drink.



"You don't like drinking to much do you?" Mitsui asks eyeing him carefully.

"Iie… just don't feel like drinking." He replied soothing his throat with another sip.

"Don't worry bout' those two… they're just overwhelmed." Mitsui replied shoving back his dark-black hair.



Kaede turns his back to where Ryota and Hanamichi sit. The two roared another laugh and orders the waiter for another drink. Everyone around them decided to leave them alone afraid of them causing trouble. Rukawa sweat drops then sighs, he goes back to taking small sips from his beer.

"Just a bunch of bakas." He whispers half drunk.

"Relax, Hanamichi's happy… co'z he thought that because of him we made it to the inter-high." Mitsui explains calling the waiter's attention.



Mitsui just finished another glass and waited for the waiter to arrive with another.

"And well, Ryota is extra happy too." Mitsui smiled, winking at the fox.



Rukawa clenched his teeth and shuffles his hair with a what-do-I-care look but still waiting for Mitsui to continue. (face it Rukawa you DO want to know ^ ^)



Mitsui expectantly looks at the waiter coming towards them. He then places another glass of beer and dismisses himself from them.



"Ryota just had officially said his undying love for Ayako last Saturday night!" Mitsui continued.



Rukawa raises his brow and felt a tinge of pain in his gut.

"And guess what? Ayako said the same to him!!" Mitsui added making short glances at the Bakas in the other table.

"Hn. What do I care." He mumbles.



Rukawa stands up headed home. He checked the time, it was 10:30 in the evening.



Rukawa fell back in his bed tired and half dizzy from everything he has done this day. He goes straight to the shower and mumbles something to himself.



She thinks I'm her true friend. She thinks I helped her to overcome each of their fears of telling each other how they feel… starting tomorrow, everything will be different…





A/N what the hell that was supposed to be Rukawa!!! Tell me!! I wanted Ayako-sempai and Rukawa-kun to be together… but I want Ryo-chin and Aya- chan… but what about Rukawa? Then what about Ryo-chin? Yi-chan… would you mind if I give Rukawa to you?! ^ ^; I need your reviews please!!!
