Chapter four: Rukawa

Doa'ho…..I pulled my shirt off and hung it up, before going to the balcony. Breathing in deeply, my eyes closed, feeling the whispering wind against my body……

I feel lost for some reason….don't know why….I laughed inwardly..just listen to me….baga doa'ho…

Flashback~ second half of the game, Kainan leading Shohoku…five minutes more….substitute called in….Rukawa collapses on the bench….~

Te me…..

Flashback~ Rukawa lunges up with Akagi…Sendoh flashes a smile…he drew back the ball and reaches in between the two Shohoku players….~

Huh….

Flashback~ "Amerika? I don't approve…." Said Anzai sensei solemnly. Narni!?!~

Am I still weak…not good enough….

A small sakura blossom fluttered by, falling to the street….

Yi a da des……I beat Sendoh……….matched up to Akagi captain and Mitsui senpai……..kept Maki blocked…….thrashed that doa'ho……

Doa'ho……Sakuragi……was he crying……..I saw tears……

Something stirred………I cursed…..doa'ho…….he looks good when he's vulnerable……..te me……

Inside, I dunked my head into a sink full of water……narni so re wa? Doa'ho……….doa'ho…………doa'ho………

Lifting my head, my image stared back at me from the mirror……my hair dripped wet……as I took deep breaths, a familiar glint came from the ice-blue eyes…..

Sornna……..

Unseen, unheard,

Will it be forgotten
