Chapter 4: They Meet...

@ AFTER A WEEK @ {The day that Ryonan ~ Shohoku will have a practice Game}

Another week had passed; Aki was doing great as the new asst. manager of the Shohoku basketball team. Of course Ayako's job became lighter because she and Aki were helping each other.

While Yuki, well, was fortunately still alive in the Judo club, for GIRLS of course... By this time, Yuki had developed a crush on Kogure...Since she saw Kogure at the gym when Aki was playing against Matsuki, she had had a BIG crush on him... But only Aki and her Brother knew it!

At the same time... Since Ayako was the manager while Aki, her assistant, they both had the same so called 'deadly' fan...

"I never thought you're going to have that fan as well!" Sakuragi said once.

"Hey team! Are you ready for the practice game?" the team captain asked.

"Yeah!" they said in chorus. They [rested] for a while and waited for Ryonan's basketball team to arrive.

Yuki was walking with her friend Misanaki towards their school gym...

"I'm tired of bringing tons of love letters from our classmates just to give it to Kaede!" Yuki exclaimed as she carried a plastic full of love letters for her dear brother, Kaede Rukawa.

"Well, it's really hard to have a handsome brother huh!? Right?" Misanaki asked.

Yuki just nodded, then she didn't notice that she's going to bump into someone...

BUMP!!!

"Ouch!" Yuki said as she fell to the ground. The impact made a scratch on her elbow... Good thing, the love letters didn't scatter to the ground.

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean it!" the guy who had bump into her said while at the same time helping her up.

"No! It's ok! It's also my fault." Yuki admitted. When she looked up at the guy, she noted that he had spiky hair and a pair of blue eyes. " Thanks!" Yuki said, flashing her killer smile.

Whoa! We have some angels here at Shohoku! How come I didn't know about it? the guy thought. Not noticing the scratch in Yuki's elbow

"Ok! Gotta go! Bye!" Yuki said, as she and her friend, Misanaki left.

~

"Hey Misanaki. Yuki!" Aki greeted as she spotted her friends.

"Hi!" Misanaki greeted back, smiling. Then accidentally looked at her watch and noticed the time. "OH MY GOSH!!! Guys, I need to go! Bye!" she said then left.

"Bye!" both Aki and Yuki said.

Then Yuki went to his brother and handed him the love letters.

"Huh! What's this?" he asked.

"Love letters... from your suitors!" Yuki said as she started to go towards Aki. Too bad Rukawa noticed the scratch on Yuki's elbow.

"What's that!?" he asked eyeing the scratch on her elbow.

Yuki looked where his brother was looking at. "Huh!? Dunno! And it's nothing..." she replied not wanting her brother to know that she had bumped into... then Aki heard them and treated her wound.

"I don't believe you little sis." Rukawa said.

Yuki sighed. "Alright! I bumped into someone. There!? Happy?" she said but before Rukawa could reply... Sakuragi spoke up.

"Hey Yuki! Are you really that Kitsune's Sister?" he asked.

"Do'ahou…" Rukawa said, glaring at him.

"WHAT!?" Sakuragi said starting yet, another fight. Aki hit him with her fan. "Stop it Bro!" she said.

Before Sakuragi could protest the Ryonan basketball team came into the view...

"The Ryonan basketball team is here!" one of the teammates announced.

Team Shohoku looked at Team Ryonan... with their new captain Akira Sendoh! Yuki stared at him... "Huh!? He's the one!" Yuki said as she stared at Sendoh. Rukawa followed her gaze then got annoyed...

"The one who!?" Sakuragi asked. By now, Sakuragi and Yuki had become friends. Sakuragi found out that Yuki's was more fun to be with than with her brother.

"The one who I bumped into..." Yuki replied.

"So you mean the scratch on your elbow is...." Rukawa said but was cut-off by Yuki, "Yeah! But it was my fault! Really! " she said... Rukawa didn't really accept Yuki's excuse. Sendoh's really a BAKA! Instead, he gave Sendoh a not-so-warm welcome look.

"Huh!?" Yuki wondered as she noticed her brother giving Sendoh a glare.

Then Sakuragi spoke up, "Well, your brother really dislikes that Mr. Smiley! Because he keeps beating your brother all the time. You know, when it comes to basketball they're both good but still, I'm the BEST!" he laughed again.

"Do'ahou!" Rukawa muttered crossing his arms.

"Hey Bro! What's the name of Mr. Smiley-- I mean Ryonan's captain..." Aki asked.

"Akira Sendoh!" Sakuragi replied.

"Akira Sendoh..." Yuki whispered still looking at Sendoh.

Rukawa got annoyed when he heard his sister saying SENDOH'S name. "Hey NaomiYuki Rukawa! Don't you dare fall in love with him!? He's a total player!" He warned.

Yuki got out of her trance, "Of course not! He's just a gentleman! Besides... I like Kogure..." She whispered it to her brother, then blushed.

Rukawa shook his head... "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Whatever!" he said, before going off to the court. The practice game was about to start any minute.

~

Almost all the people inside the gym cheered for Shohoku, of course they're on Shohoku's grounds... but still some were cheering for Ryonan because of Sendoh.

"Hey Rukawa! Nice to see you again!" Sendoh said, smiling. "You too, Sakuragi." he added, turning to the redhead.

Rukawa and Sakuragi got annoyed.

The game started...[A/N: I want to make the game fast! Ok!]

The game was in favor of Shohoku, and Yuki just kept on cheering, "GO KAEDE!"

Sendoh got a little jealous because of this, his heart sank... Maybe he's Rukawa's girlfriend he thought sadly... Only 15 minutes left in the second half and the score is 69-67 in favor of Shohoku! The game continued with almost the whole Ryonan team getting distracted by Yuki and Aki's presence, while for Shohoku, they were used to seeing these 2 beautiful girls cheering for them on the sideline.

10 minutes left. The score was tied at 69-69, but still, Sendoh was distracted by Yuki who was cheering really eagerly for Rukawa.

Why is she cheering for Rukawa... he wondered I thought when I saw her, it was Love at first sight but I guess I was wrong...' he continued to think.

5 minutes left... score 71-69 in favor of Shohoku!

"Whoa! The team is really good huh!?" Aki said to Ayako.

"Yeah! They're really determined to win in this practice game!" Ayako replied.

Yuki decided to join them. "The team really did practice huh!?" she asked.

"Yeah!" Aki and Ayako replied, both of them smiling.

60 secs. Left... score still the same... The assistant team captain, Rukawa, had the ball... 50 secs... He passed it to the captain, Miyagi, who in turn dribbled it to the court but was blocked by none other than Akira Sendoh! 10 secs... Rukawa had the ball and was on the 3-point line! 9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2… the ball went straight into the basket! …1…0!

Score: 75-69... Shohoku won! The whole team cheered... of course for Shohoku!

"Yeah! We made it!" Ayako said as she went to the court and well, hugged her boyfriend, who was none other than the team captain himself, Miyagi.

"Nice job!" she said.

"You're great bro!" Aki said as she threw the towel at Sakuragi.

Then Yuki went to his bro. who happened to be standing beside Sendoh... She handed him the mineral water, while at the same time hugging him tight. Rukawa was used to this action. Every time he would win his little sister always got this happy for him… Of course Sendoh saw this and became even more jealous. He was yet unaware of their relation to each other…

"You're awesome!" Yuki exclaimed patting her brother.

"Thanks Sis!" Rukawa said.

Sendoh was shocked when he heard Rukawa say "Sis"! Did I hear it right!? Rukawa just called her Sis! he thought excitedly.

"No problem! Bro!" she replied, then she noticed Sendoh and remembered Sakuragi say that her brother and that Sendoh guy were rival-enemy! So she told her brother who was cheering really eagerly for Rukawa.

"Hi!" Yuki said. Sendoh blushed but was able to hide it.

"Hello! Aren't you the one who I've bumped into a while ago?" He said starting the conversation.

"Yeah! You're good at playing basketball huh!? Anyway, I'm NaomiYuki Rukawa!" Yuki introduced herself.

Rukawa!?!? he thought. "I'm Akira Sendoh. Well, what's you relationship with Rukawa?" he asked just to be sure...

"Well, he's my older brother..." she replied, smiling. Then she heard Aki calling her...

YES!! She's not Rukawa's girlfriend... Sendoh thought happily, with newfound hope burning in his heart.

"Well, I need to go. Sendoh Right!?" Yuki said as she started to leave.

"Yup! Bye Yuki. Is it alright if I call you that?" he asked.

"Yeah! Bye!" She replied as she started to leave. Then Sendoh suddenly noticed the band-aid on Yuki's elbow.

"Hey Yuki! Did I to that to you?" he asked as he pointed at her elbow.

Yuki looked at where Sendoh was pointing. " Um... yeah! But it's alright. No need to worry... I'm already fine." she said, smiling and making her dimples appear.

Sendoh blushed at the site of a beautiful angel in front of him. She's not just beautiful but also kind-hearted. "Ok. But still... I'm sorry..." he said. Yuki just smiled and went towards the team.

NaomiYuki! You're a GODDESS!!! he thought...

Then he heard Hikoichi saying... "OOPPS... Someone is in love!" but he didn't care.

"NaomiYuki Rukawa! I'm going to check it out!" Hikoichi said or rather almost yelled. Sendoh just sighed. This friend of his would always be the same.

~

"What are you doing with that Sendoh guy..." Rukawa asked Yuki as they reached their mansion.

"Well, talking.." Yuki simply replied.

"Really!? Just talking..." Rukawa said, looking at his sister and really wanting the right answer.

"Yeah! Why? Did I do a crime?" Yuki asked raising her eyebrow...

"No!" he replied with the same facial expression of his.

"Oh! By the way, Aki and Sakuragi are coming over! 'Cause me and Aki will be having a pair study..." Yuki said as she removed her shoes and started to go upstairs.

"Huh!? That Do' ahou! Can't Aki just go by herself? Why does she have to take that do'ahou along?" Rukawa argued.

"Well, If I'm going to Aki's house, are you coming with me or not?" Yuki asked.

"Of course I'm coming! You don't know this place that much!" Rukawa replied, with his over protective voice.

"Exactly!? There you have answered your question." Yuki said, with her matter of fact voice.

"Alright! Whatever..." he said then went up to his room.

So Protective! I'm just talking to Sendoh... Yuki thought then went up to her room as well...
