-Coach Taoka's Fear -
A/N: Thank you guys for the interest in this fic. Even though I still have one hell of a time of thinking up of what to do next…yep, even simple acts can help Sendoh go back…nothing to be grand actually. Well sit back and enjoy, and if you did or did not enjoy please stop by to review it. Criticisms are well accepted. I like poking on Taoka so let's make some laughs with him…^_~

The sun rose gain in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan. All the members of the Ryonan basketball team will be having practices as soon as their coach calls for it. And for sure it's regular, like today.
Now let's go first with Uozumi…
Uozumi
We just had a game against Shohoku High a week ago. Coach Taoka was definitely on his cracked-up-I'm-sure-we'll-win-no-matter-what mode. His gyrating dropping of heated comments to Sendoh did pay off somehow. We had that tie…until now I couldn't stop thinking about it.
One main reason here is Akagi. Takenori Akagi.
No, we can't lose to them. Ryonan basketball team is superb. Then comes Akagi, swatting, blocks, slam dunks and still maintain his "gori" look. (Is he envious? I mean, he can look like Akagi anytime he wants)
Why, I can do better than that. However, he is also good.
Why did you ever come into the life Ryonan high basketball?
Why Akagi, why?!
?!
Wait a minute! Why am I thinking of him? 'Tis the fifth time that happened in a series of days! Well I couldn't…Then I remembered over-enthusiastic Hikoichi told me about it…
Captain Uozumi, thinking about a person so much that you couldn't get them out of your mind means something. For most of it, it accounts for being in love—
In love?!
Wake up Jun…Wake up Jun…you're asleep yet…Wake up Jun…this is a bad dream…Damn.
You could say that again. I'm no bent guy here. I'm straight.
But you can't stop thinking of Akagi right? Remember those words Hikoichi…
I know who taught that kid about those things…it's no other than his biggie sis. Yeah talk about providence of having them in the basketball courts…If I'm not mistaken, the 'in love' term she would be referring to is her obsession on Sendoh…Well, if he was more of a dog, I bet she would care less.
Never mind that and Jun, remember you still have to arrive early for your basketball practice.

Rukawa stood in the middle of the street, wondering as if a little boy lost in a big city. Actually he was, for he had to walk from this point that his aunt had dropped him. He was just going to Ryonan High for heaven's sake.
Rukawa
I'm a big, big boy lost in a big, big city…because someone didn't care enough to tell where we were.
I admit, this is not the best place to be lost. Ryonan High school is supposed to be here right?
Because the dog beside him was very useless to be blamed. He wouldn't even show me the way to his school.
Do'aho, surely, would you like to go to your school as a dog?
Luckily, I found a student that I identified a student in Ryonan rushing as fast he could. I recognized him immediately for he was one of the basketball team members. Besides, little Sendoh the dog would not be chasing after him if he were not Koshino.
(My, my Ru's very active today. No drooling while following them.)
I had followed them until I reached the school gates. I immediately made my way against the thin crowd of students walking. Conveniently, the person I chose to follow was bound for the basketball court; just follow his lead.
I saw the dark blue doors that lead to the courts, recognizing it easily with the sounds of basketballs being dribbled. I didn't notice again where Sendoh had slipped again. Never mind, the do'aho would be there anyway.
Now here I am, thinking of what to do next. I have a feeling of loosing my guts. To say or not to say is the question…

All the members of the basketball team were practicing hard, ignoring the apparent scowling of their coach to Uozumi and Koshino. No one noticed that Kaede Rukawa, a student from another school had just entered their basketball court.
After a few more minutes of awkward standing, Coach Taoka recognized him with mistake. "Boy, why are you standing there? You should be practicing!" came the angry voice.
It was obvious that he was very dismayed at the idea of the team captain being late for practice. Rukawa who didn't budge, for he was not a Ryonan student, just stared at him with the monotonous gaze.
The old coach's temper was getting him and begun to rose from his seat. Everyone in the court was now gawking at Rukawa and Taoka.

Uozumi
The old man forgot that he's talking to another student from another school. From Shohoku in fact. Maybe it was time he brought a pair of glasses. He was becoming too old; too obvious from his crankiness. Koshino and I were just late for heaven's sake!
Well let him be and discover he was ranting to the wrong person. God forbid me to laugh…this scene looks stupid as it is. Rukawa is just staing at him like stone…I'm not going to laugh…I'm not going to laugh…MwhaHAhahAHhaHa!!!!!!
Call him an idiot—Taoka-sensei….hahahaha!
Hikoichi
In my understanding, Taoka-sensei had just ignored the features of our visitor. He doesn't even notice it is another person.
Maybe I'll have a check and see if it wouldn't hurt to suggest to him that he get a pair of eyeglasses.
I'll see…I'll see…hee…heee…
::jots on notebook, 'tell Taoka-sensei that he needs eyeglasses'::
Koshino
I looked creepily at the person beside me, Hikoichi. The boy was jotting again in his notebook like mad. Good thing his sister wasn't there or maybe the event currently happening might reach headlines. Maybe they would be interested in how Taoka-sensei would be humiliated to be told that he needed eyeglasses badly.
It's just that…I couldn't take it any…more…let me stop laughing or I would have a laughing fit!!! Ahaha!!!! HAHAHA!!!!

The laughter was not surreptitiously held back by the team members. They were all laughing at Rukawa's plain, unknowing look and Taoka's yelling to hell.
After a few more fits of laughter, they finally stopped and let Taoka-sensei realize what he was doing all along.
"Coach, you're talking to Rukawa Kaede of Shohoku high."
"Hm?! How dare you tell me that I'm mistaken?" The old coach heatedly said. Then he gave another look only to find the he was really mistaken for yelling at him.
"So Rukawa-san what brings you here?"
Blank stare.
A little later, some whining can be heard. Everyone wondered where it came from and incited a gasp in everyone. Coach Taoka again began ranting headly. "Where did this dog come from?"
All of the occupants of the court were silent; seeing the old coach's livid color rising in his face. Thay all knew that the school had a 'no pets allowed' policy. Well, still in one weird way, Taoka-sensei want nothing but to keep the dog out of his sight.
Uozumi had already approached Rukawa and asked quite curtly, "Why did you bring a dog here?" He thought this is Rukawa's idea of a joke.
Aparently, Taoka-sendei began inching away from the dog unnoticed by his students.
Taoka-sensei
Do this in steps. Don't let the kids know that you don't like dogs.
Step away slowly, consider not running away, carefully straighten you face so they wouldn't know, old man.
Carefully…slowly….
Sendoh (as the little duggie-wuggie)
Why's that? Taoka-sensei never looked weird until now. He's got this constipated look…like he attempted it at the comfort room but it just wouldn't because its kinda…well.
Yoohoo? Taoka-sensei? Are you all right?
Be careful not to spout some smelly stuff and poop here… It's the first time that I realized that he had that all around constipated look. No wonder he sits like that especially when we have games (A/N: this is true. Just observe him, especially when he is very tense about the performance of his team. Look at his lips as if forcing something out of the way :D)
I slowly went to my sensei who was obviously had a disgruntled look. Maybe I could offer him some laxatives [laxative: something to ease you of your bowel problems]
Hmm? Good idea. Taoka-sensei, want some immodium?
I approached saw him suddenly jerking away. What's wrong with him? It's just a 'dog' named 'Sendoh', hello?
Well, it also comes to being old; being jumpy at things that is.
"Get him away from the coach!" Uozumi's voice boomed from the other side of the court.
"Geez, what's wrong with him?" another of my teammates asked curiously, noting the sudden drain of color from his face. Well it ws weird and no one can explain that constipated look on his face.
To add on the already weird looks on the faces of the persons around me, I heard a monotone voice telling, "Sendoh became a dog; the one looking at your coach like hell."
Rukawa
What the hell is their problem. It's the bloody truth I've already said. And now theyre laughing the hearts out.
Do'Ahos.
