4 Chapter 2
Sakuragi Hanamichi was holding a tray in his hand and scans the whole cafeteria trying to find a place to sit. The place was overflowing with students. He noticed some of them were sitting according to group. His eyes soon fell upon a table with only one occupant. As he approached the table, the occupant seems to be looking familiar by the minute. When he was a foot away, he stopped and finally recognized who he was and frowned a little bit. 'Isn't he the guy I talked to yesterday?' he asked. 'The Cute Silent Guy?' his mind interjected. A little smile crept in his lips still staring at him. He was about to continue his venture when someone called his name. Through the mass of heads of various students, he found the source of the voice and his smile widen. He saw Sendoh Akira waving at him. Sendoh was saying something but he couldn't hear his words because it was very noisy.
At Sendoh's table, sat 11 people, including Sendoh himself. Akagi was looking at their spiky-haired friend with a frown on his face. "Oi! Sendoh, who are you waving at??" Akagi, the big Captain of the Basketball team, asked.
Sendoh didn't seem to have heard him and continued on what he was doing, shouting at the top of his lungs and waving his arms frantically. Uozumi, another big captain of the Baseball team, examined the tall team member. He sighed and continued eating. Maki, the well-built Swimming Captain, noticed this and asked the big guy. "Is something wrong, Uozumi?"
"Oh…nothing. I just know THAT look." He said, referring to the way Sendoh was showing.
"Hmm…you're right! I think he has found another prey." Ayako, the pretty manager of the swim team , exclaimed.
They laughed and Sendoh was confused as to why they were laughing. They laughed even more to see Sendoh's face all puzzled.
"What are you guys laughing at? Do I have something on my face?" he asked.
Kogure shook his head, "It's nothing Sendoh-san…" he said, chuckling a little bit.
Sendoh frowned at his friends. Then looked once more at the redheaded boy. Just then, three girls appeared and greeted them.
"Oniichan! I've been looking all over for you." Akagi Haruko, the young manager of the basketball team, said.
"Well I'm here and eating. After all it is lunch time, ne?" Akagi joked.
Haruko sighed and sat beside her brother, settling her tray of food beside his. The other two girls sat on the two vacant seats beside Ayako. A brunette with azure eyes sat beside Ayako while the raven-haired girl with chocolate-colored eyes sat beside her friend. "Where've you two been?" Ayako asked.
"Oh around. Hey, did you know that Yumi and Ichirou broke?" the raven- haired girl said to them.
"No way! Yumi and Ichirou have been together for like, forever!" Kiyota, a member of the swim team, exclaimed. His lover, Jin, another member of the ST, elbowed him for shouting like that.
"I heard that Ichirou confessed to Yumi about his relationship with Kurai." She said.
"Kurai? Isn't he the sexy hot guy…ah I mean Yumi's older brother?" Kiyota said. Again he received another blow from his koi.
"Uh-huh." She nodded. "Remember last summer, when Yumi went to London?" she asked. Kyota nodded and leaned in closer. "Well, rumor has it that Kurai had been lusting for Ichirou even before Ichirou and her had been together. So, I guess he took that opportunity and hit Ichirou."
"That's Hikaru for you. The well known Gossip Queen of Shohoku." Mitsui, a member of the Basket B. Team, said. Hikaru, the manager of the Baseball team, beamed a wide smile at them.
"Hey, why is Sendoh shouting and waving his arms frantically?" the brunette asked.
"Let's just say, he found another poor victim to terrorize with his perverseness." Fujima, the handsome soccer captain, replied. The brunette sweatdropped at the statement.
"So Aki-chan, how did your interview go?" Kogure asked her. The brunette manager of the soccer team shrugged.
"Not so good. When I came in, the president was like yelling on the phone. I waited for like 1 1/2 hours and he was still yelling on the phone. Finally after 5 minutes, he was now looking at me. At first I thought he would interview me, but then he ordered ME to make him coffee. Now that was the final straw. So I stood up, looked straight at him and told him, 'Excuse me, but I am NOT your secretary nor am I an employee here. So if you'll excuse, I do not want to waste any more of MY time like YOU already did.' I turned my back at him and went out of his office. I think he fell silent because I didn't here him shout or anything." She explained and sighed.
"Aww, that's too bad. But it's their loss not yours, Aki-chan." Jin said to her. The brunette sighed once more.
"Oh well." She said. She then looked at Sendoh and shouted, "Hey Sendoh! Aren't you finished looking like some mentally disordered pervert, yet?"
Now THAT caught Sendoh's attention. "Oi! Oi! I'm not a hentai." He defended.
"Oh yeah? You want me to prove you're a hen-tai?" she said, looking at him maliciously. Sendoh smiled nervously. Aki frowned at him and said, "Look, why don't you invite the guy over here."
"THAT's what I've been doing." Sendoh said.
"Baka! Do you really expect him to hear you with this noise?" Hikaru asked. Sendoh smiled sheepishly at his group of friends. Hikaru sighed, shaking her head.
"We sometimes wonder how you're related to Rukawa-kun." Haruko said offering herself with a spoonful of mash potatoes.
"Yeah, me too. I mean I'm sooooo nice and handsome and friendly and well he's…the opposite. Except maybe for the handsome part. Well you know what I mean…" Sendoh defended.
"Yeah the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. He's not a pervert like you." Hikaru said. Sendoh sighed and gave up. There were 13 to 1. What else could he do. Ryota then looked up at him.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Go and fetch him." Ryota said to him.
"Alright, alright, I'm going" he said and started walking towards the redhead.
Sakuragi shook his head in exasperation when Sendoh turned to look at his friends. He then glanced at Rukawa once again. 'Why is he sitting alone?' he thought. When he turned his head, he saw Sendoh approaching him.
"Konnichiwa, Sendoh-kun." He said with a smile as the spiky haired baseball star stopped in front of him. "Sorry, I can't hear what you were saying a while ago. What is it that you were shouting anyway, Sendoh-kun?"
"Aah….eheheh" Sendoh said blushing a little bit. "Well, I was wondering, if you could join me and my friends eat lunch at our table?"
"Thank you. I was looking for a place to sit. But uhm…is it really okay with your friends?" he asked looking at his table.
"It is. In fact they also want to meet you." Sendoh said smiling at him.
"If you say so, Sendoh-kun." Sakuragi said.
"Please call me, Akira." Sendoh said. He then led the way to their table.
Sakuragi took one last glance at the silent boy sitting alone in one table. Curiosity filled Sakuragi's head when he looked away. He then tapped Sendoh at the back. "Sendoh-kun, ah I mean, Akira, who's that kitsune sitting over there alone?" he asked.
Sendoh turned his head, now looking at his lonesome cousin eating his lunch, then looked at Sakuragi. "That's my cousin, Rukawa Kaede. His not the friendliest person in this school but he's okay…sometimes. C'mon! My friends want to meet you." Sendoh said, tugging him. Sakuragi just nodded and followed Sendoh.
Unbeknownst to the two, piercing blue eyes were watching their every movement. "You will be mine, my redhead." He muttered under his breathe. He then resumed eating still looking at the table of 15.
Aki was looking at Rukawa when a thought occurred to her. She looked at Sendoh and asked, "Why don't you invite your cousin here so he can meet our new found friend?"
"You mean invite Rukawa Kaede, the Ice King?" Hikaru said.
"Why not?" Aki asked.
"Well, he doesn't talk and he'll probably just walk away anyway. So what's the point of inviting him? He's no fun." Kyota said. Aki frowned at them.
"How would you know? I mean, have you talked to him before?" she asked carefully. The group looked at each other and shook their head, well except for Sendoh and Sakuragi.
"Uhm…I have, but I was just asking for direction…" Sakuragi said. All of them looked at him.
"And? Did he answered?" Hikaru asked.
"Well, after I decided to leave, he told me." He said and began drinking his bottle of water.
"I always talk to him." Sendoh said. Hikaru frowned at him and shook her head.
"First of all, your related to each other, and second your room mates." Hikaru said as she sighed.
"Whatever…" Sendoh said. Aki looked once more at Rukawa and sighed. 'They're probably right. He's not very sociable. Besides Sendoh, I'm the only one who talks to him. Man that guy needs to go out more often.' She thought and resume eating her meal.
