~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakuragi was humming a tune, and daydreaming of Haruko, and it became a full-blown Tensai song. He was bored stiff, in his room, with nothing to do except watch TV, and read comics. What was he supposed to do, sit and rot in his room? Nope, that was not for him. Not for the Tensai of Shohoku!!! At these thoughts, he was getting ready to laugh his Tensai laugh, until…

* WHAM!! *

Sakuragi's face made an introduction to the hospital floor, as he tripped over a person's leg. (L.I.D.[author]: ^Sweat drop^)

"Itai!"

"Oh goodness! I'm so sorry…" replied the sitting figure on the bench.

"Woi! What are you, blind?? Can't you see I'm walking here??" grumbled Sakuragi, stomping off.

Two seconds passed.

"Actually, I am…"

Two more seconds passed.

"Blind, that is."

Sakuragi spun around, and a look of regret filled his face, as he gasped. "Masaka…"

Ikuko heard his gasp, and smiled. "It's all right, you didn't hurt my feelings."

Sakuragi walked over to where the girl who had tripped him was. She was plump, had short dark brown hair, and had dark brown eyes, but was somewhat vacant, as if she was staring into space. Sakuragi took in the vacant look in her eyes, and confirmed that she was indeed, blind. A wave of guilt made him cry in chibi mode suddenly.

Ikuko heard him sob, and began to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" asked an irritated and chibi Sakuragi, wiping away his tears, thankful that she could not see them.

"You. You're so silly. I told you already that you didn't hurt my feelings, so why are you crying?" chuckled Ikuko. "Baka. (Silly) "

"I… I'm not crying!" protested Sakuragi, sitting beside her now. "And who are you calling a baka?!"

"Yeah, right. So, what's your name?" asked Ikuko, turning her head to where Sakuragi's voice came from.

"Sakuragi. Sakuragi Hanamichi. Yours?"

"Kobayashi. Kobayashi Ikuko."

"So, what are you doing here, sitting all alone along the corridor?" Sakuragi asked simply.

"I have a doctor's appointment soon, and am just waiting for nurse Aki to bring me there later to check up on my arm."

"Oh I see…"

"What about you? What's your story?"

"Erm… Back problems… Need to go for physical therapy."

"I understand… Must be tough staying in your room all day huh?"

"You can say that again…"

"Say, would it be all right if we became friends?" Ikuko asked, smiling.

Sakuragi, being the king of simplicity, simply nodded, smiling. (L.I.D.[author]: LOL and sweat drops.)

"Ano, Sakuragi-kun, is that a yes or a no?" Ikuko asked again, the corner of her mouth twitching. /He must have forgotten I'm blind, the baka! Ha ha! /

/Oh no! I forgot that she's blind!!! Kuso! / Thought Sakuragi. "Aahh… Hai…"

"Which room are you in, Sakuragi-kun?"

"Block 2, Room 202. You?"

"Block 3, Room 205. I'm just opposite you! What a coincidence!" smiled Ikuko.

"I can visit you if you want…" began Sakuragi. /Better not make her walk, since she's blind. /

"We'll visit each other. I may be blind, but I'm not THAT helpless!" retorted Ikuko, as if she read his mind.

"Sumanu! (I'm sorry!) I didn't mean it like that!!"

"I know you didn't, baka! Relax!" laughed Ikuko.

"Now who are you calling a baka?!"

Both ended up laughing, much to the confusion of the approaching nurse, who was nurse Aki.

"I see you've made a new friend, Ikuko-chan!" remarked nurse Aki.

Ikuko introduced the two, and Aki then excused themselves, as the doctors needed to see Ikuko now.

"Ja ne, Sakuragi-kun! How about dinner tonight? My place… or rather room?!" giggled Ikuko. "Bring your dinner with you!"

"Sure, I'll bring my tray!! Ja!" replied Sakuragi happily, waving to the two girls. He suddenly realised again, that Ikuko was blind and could not see him waving, and then had his hand stuck in the air like an idiot.

"Kuso! What the HELL am I doing???" he cried.

(Scene 1)

Mitsui was walking towards Shohoku High. He had discrepancies about how he felt towards a certain vice captain, and was debating on whether to tell him or not. He was certain that Akagi had a better chance than he did, as the two knew each other since junior high. But whether Akagi was gay, was another matter altogether. Mitsui sighed, thinking that today was just another day that his feelings would have to be kept under wraps, and went to practice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Scene 2)

Kogure was alone, in the Shohoku High Basketball club locker room, changing into his T-shirt and shorts, getting ready for practice. Or rather to help out in whatever the team needed. He was thinking of a certain shooting guard, and wondered what would he say, if he found out that the vice captain had a huge crush on him. Mitsui didn't look the type to be gay, and he was worried that Mitsui would reject him. Akagi knew of Kogure's sexual preference, and didn't judge him based on that. Kogure was grateful, and that brought Akagi and Kogure's friendship to a new level. (L.I.D.[author]: Not hentai, you hentai!) They grew closer, like brothers, ever more so, and he knew he could count an Akagi to listen to his problems. Vice versa as well. Oh well, today was just another day that his feelings would have to be kept under wraps. Kogure shrugged, and went out of the locker room.
