====================================================================================
*Start*
1:30 flat. Rukawa stood in front of the Mitsui residence, still wondering why he'd agreed to come after a few calls from Mitsui in the past, few days.
*Ding-dong*
The sound of the doorbell came and Hisashi Mitsui was scampering to answer it. "Ohayo Kae-chan!" Instead of returning the greeting nicely he gave Mitsui the 'mega death stare' (wow... takot me)because he called him Kae-chan.
"Aren't we going yet?" he asked impatiently to the older boy.
"H-hai!" Mitsui replied sheepishly. The two Shohoku players walked under the warm sun. "What do you plan to do Mitsui-sempai?"
"Hmm… well, everyone should come. I plan it to be a surprise…good thing Sakuragi didn't ruin it. I want everything turn out right for my Kimi-chan" [I believe Kogure is called by Min-kun…but Kimi-chan sounds cute]
The Shohoku ace stopped at his tracks and asked the MVP. "Your Kimi-chan? Kiminobu-sempai?" Mitsui then tensed up as the kitsune asked the question and turned his head away to avoid being seen by Rukawa blushing.
"Gomen…. Rukawa-kun, would you mind not to tell anyone…?" An embarrassed Mitsui said and continued, "I mean, would you tell the others about me and Kogure?"
"Iie. It's just that I… never mind." Rukawa replied, still walking up the street.
Rukawa stayed silent, lost in his thoughts. Hisashi just stared at him.
"Yo, Kitsune."
No reply.
"You're hiding sumthin', I see. You can tell me."
Silence.
"Toru-kun, isn't that Mitsui-san and Rukawa-san?" A man's voice came from behind. The two Shohoku players wheeled their heads to their side to find Kenji Fujima and Toru Hanagata both from Shoyo High.
"Hiya guys, watcha doin'?" The brown-haired boy vibrantly asked the two as he released an arm around a bad-mood-beet-red Toru.
"Nothing much! Hehe! What 'bout you, dating?" Mitsui slyly asked.
"No! No! Of course NOT!" Toru replied quickly, but this made Kenji's heart break.(ouch, ouch!!! Masyado niyo sinasaktan si Fujima!!! Huhuhuhuhu...)
"You bitch! [That should be bastard, I think…] I thought you loved me!!! But you denied the fact that we ARE dating!!!!! *Sobs* This goddamn relationship is over!"
"Gods! You just revealed the most intimate secret of ours! I thought that we agreed that we only tell that to the team and to our friends?" Hanagata (if possible) turned even a darker shade of red.
*rukawa and mitsui sweatdrops*
"Uhh…calm down guys." Mitsui told the two *lovers* fighting as they fast approached Kogure's house. (Uhmm, how did they follow mitchy and kae? Hmm… [think, think])
"Un iiyo…" Fujima pouted. "Mitchy, you shouldn't care about that!" (how'd fuji know nicks?!)
"Okay fine. But why don't you join our party later we just have to decorate a little." Hisashi brightly told the pair.
"Fine with us, isn't it, koi?" Toru replied looking at *his* Fujima *a question mark appears above* "I thought you were angry with me?"
They proceeded and entered the Japanese-style house a few meters ahead so they could already start decorating..
"Shh…" Mitsui warned to his companions. " This is supposed to be a surprise party right?" they all nodded in agreement. Slowly they left their shoes and crept to the living room.
"Coast is clear, nobody's home!!! We should move fast. By four Min-kun will be here!"
* * * * * * *
A half an hour later everything; was prepared food, décor, blah…blah…
"Hey what's up with Kogure-san to give a party?" they questioned Hisashi. He replied blushing, "Well…uhmmm… he's the reason why we won the inter school match."
"Ummmmm…So how'd you get Kiminobu-kun's keys anyway?" Fujima asked curiously. The MVP blushed harder. "Do I have to tell?"
Everyone nods.
"Uhh…I got it when we had se-I mean…we made you know…" [gago ko tlga hehe the "s" word! : )
"Oh I see…"
* * * * * * *
Kogure dragged himself towards his home, weary after the grueling entrance exams. Adjusting his glasses comfortably he stared around the surroundings of the garden. Everything seemed normal until he saw his doorstep. Shoes…shoes…someone's home then. [smart Kogure!] The spectacled boy quickly entered the house leaving his shoes behind and changing it with a pair of fuzzy green slippers. When suddenly-hands covered his eyes causing his round glasses fall to the floor with a clang.
"Aa! Yamette!"
"Surprise Kimi-chan…" the voice softly told him.
"Hi-Hisashi-kun…"
"How'd you know?"
"I saw your shoes…" Kogure replied sweetly. He struggled to get free and everyone greeted a surprised Kiminobu. (with matching poppers!) All of the members of the Shohoku team, except Akagi, were there, and to add were Kenji and Toru.
All of them were having a happy time and Rukawa felt out of place; everyone seemed to have someone with them. Ryota successfully got Ayako as his girlfriend after a storm of basketballs two nights before, there was Kogure and Mitsui sweetly sitting at the couches, Fujima and Hanagata bickering yet displaying affection, the Do'aho having the time of his life with his sempai's sister Haruko…making him quite... alone.
Kogure noticed this uneasiness of Rukawa so he approached him privately when the other went to the dining room for more food. "What's the matter Kaede-kun?" Beautiful brown eyes worriedly lay by the ice blue ones. "You look so uneasy…you might not like the, uhmmm… you know…the open affection shown."
"I don't mind. It's nothing actually." Rukawa couldn't resist talking to Kogure. He felt easy with him… maybe because he had some sort of passiveness, gentleness and understanding that made anyone trust him easily.
He was about to speak again when Mitsui popped out of nowhere and placed an arm around the kitsune.
"Oi Kae-chan, wanna play a bet? The most glasses consumed wins!"
"Hn."
"Alriiight!" The shooting guard grabbed Kaede to the living room.
True, no one wanted to continue after Mitsui got his sixth can of beer but Rukawa beaten him by having twelve cans straight. So Rukawa won and Mitsui had to do his consequence after that.
Everyone was so busy on what will Mitsui do and no one noticed that Rukawa was leaving already; but our Kogure saw him... (apat ang mata, eh)
"Matte Rukawa-kun…Aren't you dizzy yet? Everyone's staying here tonight."
"Yo gochisosama Min-kin… I'm fine… shit, hiccups…hick Oi, Mitsui-sempai is calling you. hick" Rukawa replied dizzily. "Ki o tsukete Rukawa-kun!" Kiminobu told Rukawa as the younger boy left. Then he turned and saw Mitsui calling him from the inside.
"I wonder what's wrong with Rukawa…"
* * * * * * *
Rukawa walked down the silent residential streets of Kanagawa. Cursing himself for leaving, he clutched his head for it started to ache. His balance begun to loosen by the second as he walked further. The at last he couldn't endure it anymore he fell…
Strong arms caught him as his body swung forward. "Kaede…Daijobu desu ka?" The man's familiar voice softly inquired him.
*He has black hair…and midnight blue eyes…blue eyes…*
… and the kitsune fell unconscious.
