Chapter 5
" Acturus-chan! You shouldn't trust these Shohoku people." Kiyota warned as Acturus placed the freshly cooked delicious-smelling soup on the table.
" I'm not supposed to trust my own team?" she asked as she sat down and picked up her chopstick.
" Wow! This thing smells great! What a change from the usual horrible dishes that Maki makes. I don't think I'm going to eat the things he cook today." Jin changed the subject.
" What do you mean? You love my cooking, you always come on Wednesday evenings for my special dishes!" Maki protested. They all laughed, Acturus took a piece of chicken that Maki made and tasted it.
" Your skills improved over time. Last year when I came over you cooked something black and blobby and that was supposed to be broiled chicken!" She evaluated his food, everyone laughed at Maki.
" Hey! You're not supposed to eat first!" Takefuji complained.
" Gomen, Itadakimasu!" she laughed, " Now I can start eating right?" she asked, "I'm hungry from practice, speaking of practices, you still owe me a treat Kiyota!" she reminded him.
" Arrgh! I was hoping you would forget." Kiyota pretended to curse. Everyone laughed even more.
" How was practice?" Maki asked his little sister.
" It was wonderful! The outstanding players are Akagi, Ryota, Sakuragi(Kiyota let out a small grunt at the name.), Mitsui...Ohh, No wonder he's the MVP, his play was beautiful!" Acturus exclaimed, " And of course Rukawa. He's probably the best player I have ever met." She added.
" What? What about me?" Kiyota pointed to himself.
" You're a wonderful player but he's...brilliant, outstanding, just...super! He still has a lot more power in him, it's not at its peak yet!" Acturus tried to explain. Kiyota looked extremely jealous of Rukawa.
" He is a very good player, just remind me to thank him for helping you the next time I see him." Maki told Acturus.
" But how did he agree to help you? He's not a very sociable person." Jin asked.
" Stop it! All this Rukawa talk is making me lose my appetite!" Kiyota screamed.
" Looks like someone is jealous..." Takasago teased.
" Shut up! I'm not showing you my real ability yet! I can beat him easily if I want to!" Kiyota had fire all around him.
" Rukawa isn't an easy person to beat." Acturus told him.
" Oh no! With my sister as strategist and Sakuragi as a power forward, Rukawa as a small forward, Mitsui as a shooting guard, Miyagi as a point guard and Akagi as their centre plus Anzai sensei at their side they are sure to win against us!" Miyamasu whined. The others laughed and continued with their food.
" I'm still hungry...Kiyota, when exactly are you going to take me there? Just imagining it makes my mouth water." She nagged him.
" It's not like we're in a hurry or something." Maki told her.
" We? I never said I was treating you all too! If I do then how can I live?" Kiyota pointed out.
" Couldn't blame me for trying can you?" Maki laughed.
" Make it soon or I'll die waiting." Acturus warned as she collected the dishes and started to wash them up.
" All-right, I'll think about it, anyway we'd better go, see you Acturus." Kiyota yelled to her as Maki led them to the door.
" Hurry up. You'll get to see my pretty sister again, I know she's stunning but please go away, I need my peace and quiet without any wild-monkeys around." Maki pushed him out.
" Bye everyone!" Acturus' sweet voice shouted back.
Maki finally got the door to shut.
" I'll help you with the dishes." The older boy walked towards the sink.
" No onii-chan! You need rest, I'll take care of this!" Acturus protected the dishes from her brother.
" Thanks." He slumped down onto the couch and closed his eyes.
" Onii-chan?" She made sure that he was awake. Maki opened one eye, " Don't get too tired." She smiled. I'd better get lots of sleep too, I'm exhausted. She told herself, remembering what Rukawa had told her.

I don't know how to put Kiyota into the triangle but this chapter was an attempt. I guess it'll have to wait until Kiyota actually treats her! Please review. The chapters might come on slow because I have to share my computer with my whole family. Thanks
