Chapter one: On this snowy day...
Holding an old group picture, Kogure sighed. He missed his senior high days with his old pals, the whole shohoku basketball team. Specially this Christmas season.
" Kogure?!" Akagi shouted. "Kogure, your next class says you're too late!"
" Oh I forgot Akagi." Kogure said as he placed the picture back on his notebook. "How about you? Don't you have your class today? Your students (=p) may be waiting too."
" No class." he replied, sitting down on his place in the faculty room. "What's that?" He said, pointing on Kogure's notebook.
" A notebook." Kogure said jokingly.
"No. What I mean is the thing that you placed on your notebook!"
Kogure laughed.
" An old picture of our team." He said as Akagi moved closer to see the picture clearly.
" Hand it over."
" Why? You missed them, don't you...captain?"
Akagi smiled.
" It's been long before someone called me captain." he said as Kogure handed him the picture.
"I missed our loud, wacky teammates." Kogure laughed harder "And the lumps on your head and Sakuragi when you fight." He stood up and tried to imitate Akagi's voice.
" ALWAYS GET THE REBOUND BAKAYAROU!!!!" he shouted in a deep, loud voice like Akagi when he shouts at Sakuragi.
Then he froze.
The teachers in the faculty suddenly sweat dropped.
"Kogure-sensei, daijobu ka?"
" Da-daijobu." He said, turning red. He then arranged his things and pretended that nothing happened.
" I think I better go. My class is waiting." But before he could reach the faculty door, Akagi pulled him back into his place.
" How about this?" he asked, referring to the picture. Kogure smiled yet again.
"You keep it first, ne?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Sayonara SENSEI!!!" a group of elementary students shouted.
"Ja!" Ayako replied to her class.
(Hagaki: Geez, almost all of them are teachers!)
(Minami: Okay fine! Don't disturb me! I'm eating!)
(Hagaki: Why you!!! You're just pigging out while I'm draining all of my thoughts in this Fanfic!!!)
She picked up her things and walked out of the basketball court. There she found Ryota , waiting for her, leaning at the court door.
" Konninchiwa Ryota-sensei!!!" Ayako greeted happily.
" Take the sensei out. " He replied as little sports of pink appeared on his face.
(Hagaki: Wa! Maybe he likes: Ryota-koibito or Ryota-itooshi better ne?)
(Minami: Ganbatte Ryo-chin!!! Someday it'll be Ryota-koi! hehehe...)
Ayako started giggling. "Why? It suits you very well!"
"Aw c'mon Aya-chan. If you don't stop, I'll be forced to call you Aya-chan-sen- ...no... Ayako-sensei!"
" Ok. I give up. How's your class? Basketball-boy division? The girls are doing quite well."
"Just fine. Watching them makes me remember our team before."
" CAPTAIN RYOTA MIYAGI...hmm...sounds really nice. Been long before I've said that again. Specially saying 'CAPTAIN AKAGI'
meanwhile...
" Ha-choo!!! Who's talking about me? Or maybe, because of the cold weather, I already catched a cold! " Akagi said, after he sneezed at the corridor, frightening those poor senior high girls and boys. :p
Akagi: Sweat drop*
back...
" Akagi is still the best captain for me. He is the only one that can do his most famous GORILLA DUNK. An-"
" Cut the story first, Ryota." Ayako said. " Looks like the snow is interrupting us."
Ryota looked at the sky. A little drop of snow landed on his face, then followed by heavier showers. It was indeed snowing, as Ayako said.
" Well, let's go now. And the bus should be at the bus stop anytime."
Then, they reached the bus stop, feeling cold, and all.
" Geez...it's so cold." Ayako said, rubbing her hands together. Unfortunately for her, she didn't even bring her jacket. She was just wearing a T-shirt that was only thick enough to stand for slightly cold weathers and jogging pants as thick as her shirt. Ryota pitied her.
(Hagaki: Shouldn't this line be "HIS KOIBITO"?)
(Minami: Sweat drop*)
"Here, you could use this." He said, handing over his jacket. He didn't mind being cold, but if Ayako is the one that would suffer from the cold...
" But..."
" C'mon. I could stand this weather, don't worry."
"Ryota...Thank you." she said accepting Ryota's sweet and kind offer.
"Ahem* Cut the mushy part will ya? Looks like you didn't saw me!"
Ryota and Ayako were surprised. They felt the height behind them seems familiar.
" His height...can it be..."
Ryota turned to face the man.
"AAAA!!! THE HAIR!!!THE COLOR!!! I CAN'T BE MISTAKEN!!! IT'S-IT'S..."
"SAKURAGI HANAMICHI!!!" Ayako continued.
" I thought you forgot me!! I quickly recognized you! You're still small Ryo-chin!! HAHAHA!!!" Sakuragi exclaimed as he clinged his arm on Ryota's head.
"Ha! And you're still the same old Hana-wait...How's your back? Why is your hair long again?"
"My back is fine, Ryo-chin!!! It's fully recovered now! And my hair? Baka! Of course I grew it long again!!!" Ryota laughed.
" I'm so happy to see you again!!" Ayako exclaimed "and I'm also glad to know that you're alright!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Mitsui..."
" What is it, Anzai-sensei?" Mitsui asked as he went closer to the old fat man, sitting on the bench inside the Shohoku basketball court.
" For the fight tomorrow; even though you're still a coach in training, I allow you to coach Shohoku's practice game with Ryonan."
Mitsui's Eyes widened.
"Really? Coach I-I..."
" Do your best Mitsui-kun."
" Arigato Anzai-sensei!!" Mitsui exclaimed, bowing deeply to his teacher. Coach Anzai laughed as Mitsui ran out of the room.
After changing his clothes and arranging his things, Mitsui, fired-up with Coach Anzai's words, ran his way down to the cold, snowy street. He entered the restaurant Kogure and Akagi usually went to when they were still students in Shohoku Senior High. He took off his jacket reading 'COACH' that was given to him earlier by Coach Anzai.
" Coach Mitsui..." he kept murmuring to himself " show off what you've got tomorrow!"
After giving himself courage, he looked at his watch. 3:59. One minute to go before the bell rings and Akagi and Kogure can go out. He was so excited to tell his friends about the news.
" If only the whole Shohoku team was here, I'd be more excited to report this."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Ah...P.E. Teachers eh? So I should call you both 'SENSEI'."
" Wait, Sakuragi -kun, where do you plan to go? Why are you here in the bus station?" Ayako asked curiously.
" Umm...to Shohoku."
" What a coincidence! We plan to go there too!" Ryota exclaimed.
" Huh? Why?"
" Nothing. We just want to." Ayako said.
" We missed the sight already." Ryota added.
Sakuragi smiled mischievously.
" Eh? I don't think so...maybe you really wanted to take her out, you know, a DATE..."
FLYING KICK!*
BOG!*
" STOP THAT WILL YA!!!" Ryota shouted, steaming red. *Good thing Aya-chan didn't hear it. But that's my real intention. -_-*
Ayako, on the other hand, just sweat dropped because she doesn't know what the hell is going on. (BLINK* BLINK*)
" Oh, the bus is here. Stand quickly Hanamichi or you'll be left!"
" Ouch! The small- but- terrible flying-kick of Ryo-chin made my world twirl!!!"
Wobbling a little, Sakuragi stepped inside the bus. Since the bus was full, and there wasn't even a single seat left, they decided to stand.
" Sakuragi-kun, may I ask?" Ayako said. She was in between two former Shohoku members.
"Nani?"
" Since you've graduated last year, what's your job now?" Sakuragi began to think hard.
"So?"
" Umm...I don't have any."
BAG! SWEATDROP
"What do you mean?!" Ryota shouted
" I said I don't have any! Besides, this tensai is made for basketball only. So, the job that I plan to have is JAPAN'S BEST!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
SWEATDROP GROWS BIGGER
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Konninchiwa, Mitsui-san." Kogure greeted as he settled down the seat opposite Mitsui's.
" Konninchiwa." Mitsui replied. Then he looked at Akagi furiously.
" GEEZ, DO YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR STUDENTS IN YOUR VERY STRONG PERFUME AKAGI?!"
" Shut up!!" Akagi said, a bit red. " The perfume was strong itself! Actually, I sprayed it once only!!!" Mitsui laughed uncontrollably (Well, if you still remember movie 3...) while Kogure giggled. Akagi, embarrassed fully, sat on his seat between Kogure and Mitsui. Then, he spotted someone behind Mitsui...
" I know that guy..."
"Who Akagi?"
Then they all turned around to see a guy wearing a jacket reading "NATIONAL TEAM".
He was tall, about 180+, a brunette, and was white-skinned. After a short while, the guy faced them.
"RUKAWA!!"
Rukawa didn't reply vocally. He just raised his hand as his "HELLO".
Mitsui nearly shouted.
" Oh God! It's really you!! Rukawa! Look at you now!!" Mitsui exclaimed, slapping a hand over his head laughing more. " A REAL national player!!"
Rukawa flushed a little at his former team mate's words.
" Long time no see Rukawa..Er...in personal though." Kogure said welcomly.
" What brought you here?" Akagi asked.
" Nothing." Rukawa frankly said.
" Have a seat here, looks like you're a loner there." Kogure said. Rukawa just nodded as he placed his bag on the blank seat next to Mitsui. When he was about to sit, he noticed Mitsui clutching something tightly on his hand.
"What's that?" he asked.
" Oh this?" Mitsui then looked at the jacket he was holding tightly. He then turned bit red.
"Umm..it's a...umm..." He didn't know exactly how he would say 'I'm a coach already.'
"What's that huh?" Akagi said, looking interested.
" Yeah, what's that?" Kogure asked.
"A..." when Mitsui was about to say it, he noticed a red haired guy hop down from the bus with another man on his side and a woman on the other. Quickly recognizing them
he jumped from his seat and pointed out the window.
"HANAMICHI!! RYOTA!!! AYAKO!!!" he shouted several times louder than he had earlier.
All of the people inside the restaurant sweat dropped and was shocked.
" Hey, shut up will ya!!!" a man behind them said.
Mitsui turned red.
" Looks like a reunion is going to happen..." Kogure said happily. Hanamichi turned to see his friends.
" Mit-chin? Megane-kun? Gori? ...Rukawa?!" Then he spotted Rukawa's dress reading "NATIONAL TEAM". He then burned in anger and charged the seat fiercely, holding (our poor) Rukawa in the collar.
"WHY YOU! IF ONLY MY BACK WASN'T INJURED, I'M SURE THIS TENSAI WOULD BE HIGHER THAN YOU!!! DON'T BE SO COCKY RUKAWA, DAMN IT!!!"
"He-hey! Stop it!!" Kogure said, hoping he would calm the red head. But Sakuragi ignored him and continued his sermon on Rukawa.
"Now I'm back, I'm going to beat you, just like an ant!!!"
Rukawa had enough. He slapped Sakuragi's hand on his collar and fixed it.
" Don't hold me, do'aho." he said coldly. (way to go Rukawa-kun!!)
" TEME!!!!"
" That's your punishment because you were so selfish."
" WHAT?!" Sakuragi reached to his boiling point and raised up a fist to beat (our poor) Rukawa.
But then, one bounced on his head, leaving a BIIIIG lump.
" Bakayarou!!! Stop that!!"
"G-gori..." he whimpered, holding his lump.
MINNA: SWEAT DROP*
Rukawa stood and picked up his bag.
" Hey, Rukawa-kun, where are you going?" Ayako asked.
" It's almost time before our practice, besides..." he said as he started to walk.
" There's a do'aho around, I don't want to be infected by it's virus."
"Hn. You'll see Rukawa..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Where's Rukawa?"
" Ha! I think he visited his old school!!"
" Shohoku senior high?"
" What else?!"
" Speaking of Shohoku, remember when Rukawa was still a freshman there? Remember the basketball team there?"
" Hmm..yeah. Why'd you ask?"
" They have a potential to replace OUR team."
" Huh?"
" Besides, its my last year..."
" What do you mean by that?"
