Chapter 3: Aki... New team asst. Manager!?

@ AFTER A WEEK @

Both Yuki and Aki had been searching for a good club fro them in the past week but they couldn't find one... Then Yuki just decided to join Judo club but Rukawa, well, objected. So Yuki tried to convince her brother a hundred or maybe a million times about it. Thank goodness he agreed. Now, it's only Aki who had not found any good club yet...

Then an idea struck Yuki's mind, "How about you join the basketball club?" she asked.

"Heck! Oh C'mon! There's no basketball club for girls here, is there?" Aki replied.

Yuki sighed. "Hey AkiyuRae Sakuragi! Wake up! Of course you're not playing! You can be Asst. Manager! DUH!!!" she said.

Aki thought for a minute... Yeah, she remembered an announcement that the basketball team needed an asst. manager... she then blurted out, "Wow! You're right Yuki!" she exclaimed hugging Yuki very tight.

"Wait! I... can't... breath!" Yuki choked.

Then Aki realized what she's doing to her friend, "Ooppss... Sorry!" she said as she let her friend go...

They went toward Shohoku's gym. But it wasn't only Aki wanted to be a asst. manager. There was Matsuki! She really wanted to be Asst. Manager because... Rukawa was on the team along with many other cute boys!

"Hey Ayako!" Yuki yelled as she ran towards Ayako with Aki following her.

"Oh! Hi there Yuki and Aki." she greeted. "Anyway, what are you guys doing here!" she asked.

Yuki decided to answer Ayako. "Well, Aki wants to apply for asst. manager. Is that ok?" she explained.

"Really!? Yeah! It's ok... but Matsuki is also here!" Ayako said, getting confused on who she was going to choose. If she chose Aki, it would be unfair to Matsuki, and vice versa.

Then Ayako asked both Aki and Matsuki, "Are the two of you acquainted with the game basketball?"

"YUP!" both Aki and Matsuki replied. Matsuki glared at Aki but Aki just ignored her.

"Good! Now to decide who's gonna be my assistant, you two would be playing 1 on 1, half-court... whoever wins will be my asst. Ok?" Ayako said.

"Sure!" Matsuki replied, confidently… 'Huh!? This pathetic girl is easy to defeat! No sweat..' she thought.

" Ok!" Aki replied... 'I hope I win. I really want to be an asst. manager.' she thought.

Ayako went towards the team and told them what's her plan was. The team agreed specially the team captain. She also said it so the team would give way...

"Good Luck Aki!" Yuki said to her best friend while patting her.

"Sure! Thanks Yuki!" Aki replied, smiling. She first went towards the changing room, same as Matsuki. When they're at the changing room...

"Hey there! I'm going to win so you better back of!" Matsuki said, proudly.

Aki looked at her. "Why should I? Let's just finish this on the court not here." she said, calmly but then she thought, 'This girl sure so... confident!'.

After they're done changing there clothes... they went out to the court while Yuki went to the bleachers and sat beside her brother.

"Hey Sis! Why are you here?" Rukawa asked, while wiping his sweat and drinking his water.

"To watch Aki and my big bro playing... Why, don't you want your pretty little sister here?" Yuki replied, sweetly at the same time teasing her brother. Rukawa simply "hmphed".

While Sakuragi just kept on yelling... "You can do it Sis! After all, you're a Tensai's sister! NYAHAHAHAHAHA!" Aki felt ashamed of her brother while the team just sighed. Sakuragi was always like that...

Then the game started when Ayako [blew] the whistle... [A/N: The score must be 10-10]

Matsuki had the ball, she dribbled it up to the court but Aki was there to block her.

Yuki was praying silently. 'You can do it Aki!' she thought.

"Yuki? Is she good?" Rukawa asked as she looked at Aki playing against Matsuki.

"Well, Yeah! Back in America she plays well, on our P.E! At the same time she's my teammate in the basketball... " Yuki explained. Rukawa just nodded. So? She… The Do'ahou's sister was his sister's teammate back in America. Well, he had to admit she's pretty good.

Back to Aki and Matsuki, the people inside the gym gasped as Matsuki made a 3 point shoot. 0-3 in favor of Matsuki.

"It's alright sis!" Sakuragi cheered up his sister. He knew that his sister could do it.

Now, Matsuki got the ball again. She dribbled it then Aki used her technique and snatched the ball from Matsuki. She raced to the court then shoot! 2-3 Matsuki still had the higher score. Aki got the ball again… She dribbled while Matsuki just blocked her! But Aki didn't allow it so she raced to the court and made a perfect lay up. 4-3 now in favor of Aki.

"Wooh! Way to go Sis!" Sakuragi yelled.

"Nice Aki!" Yuki cheered. While Rukawa just stared at her in awe....' This girl is pretty good' he thought.

Of course Matsuki didn't allow it so she went straight to the court while Aki was blocking her. But Matsuki was really fast so she also made a lay up! Score 4-5 in Matsuki's favor…

"Go Mat!" Matsuki's friends cheered. They're also great fans of Rukawa.

"Baka!" Aki murmured. The Game went on! Until the Score became 8-9... In favor of Matsuki. Both of them only needed one more shoot. Aki had the ball but by this time Matsuki was really determined. Aki could really see it in her eyes...

She's really guarding Aki so she wouldn't get the ball. Aki reached the 3-point line. She couldn't go near the court because Matsuki's defense was really tight.

'Here goes nothing!' Aki thought as she threw the ball up towards the hoop. Aki just closed her eyes for she didn't want to see that she's going to lose. But then, she heard a loud cheer...she opened her eyes just as the ball went straight into the basket.

"Yeah! You did it Sis!" Sakuragi yelled.

Aki also jumped... full of joy! "Yes!!!" she cheered as Yuki went up to her.

Hey Aki! You did great, Huh!?" Yuki said congratulating her best friend while at the same time giving her a hug.

"Thanks Yuki!" Aki replied, smiling and returning the hug.

Then Yuki looked at her watch, "OH MY GOSH!!! We have a practice! Gotta go! Hey Aki just tell my bro. that I've got practice... Ok? Bye!" Yuki said then ran-off as fast as she could…

Sakuragi came up to his sister as well. "Nice job sis! You're really a tensai's sister! NYAHAHAHAHA!" Sakuragi said. Aki just sweat dropped.

"Well, AkiyuRae Sakuragi... Welcome to Shohoku team!" Ayako said, smiling.

Then the whole team congratulated her. What happened to Matsuki? Well, she walked out! Then Aki remembered what Yuki had said and went towards Rukawa...

"Hey there! Rukawa, right?" Aki said but inside her head she yelled, 'IDIOT! Of course he's a Rukawa cause he's Yuki's Brother! IDIOT!!! Baka!'

Rukawa nodded and asked, "Yeah! Why?" still wearing that EMOTIONLESS face of his... Maybe it's his trademark.. while his sister Yuki's trademark is her dimples...

"Well, Yuki said she has practice." Aki said.

"Ok! Thanks…" Rukawa replied. 'Heck! What am I saying!? Did just I say Thanks... To that Do'ahou's Sister!' he thought.

Aki smiled. "You're welcome. After all, you're my best friend's brother." she replied.

Then Sakuragi came into the view... "Hey Kitsune! What are you doing with my sister! Huh!?" He asked.

Aki just answered him... "I'm just telling him that Yuki has practice! Get what I mean?! C'mon bro. We need to go home now! Bye Rukawa!" Aki said then both Sakuragis left...

Rukawa just nodded. 'Why do I feel different whenever that Do' ahou's sister is around!? She's totally not the same as his brother.' he asked himself. Then he left to check on her younger sister…
