The phone rang loudly throughout the house, which was always empty as Yumi's parents were always working overseas.

"Coming!" She shouted to the still ringing phone as she put the novel she was reading down on her nightstand before rushing out to the living room.

"Moshi moshi, Kirashi residence. Yumi speaking!"

"Yumi-chan? It's Ayako!"

"Ayako-chan! Haven't been seeing you lately, how's it going?" She placed the cordless phone to another ear as she reached for a glass of water nearby.

"Things had been fine, only that the basketball team had a irritating guy..."

"You mean Miyagi Ryota? The guy you like?" She could almost picture Ayako blushing right now.

"NO! Yes... I mean..." A sigh could be heard from the other line. "Yumi- chan, I didn't call to talk about this. I was wondering if you want to come to Shohoku next week to observe our playing..."

"Sure!"

"So... I'll see you next week, ne? Ja!"

"Ja mata ne!"

"Hey, finished recording?"

I shot a glare at Akira's grinning face and pointed my pen straight at his face, stopping a few inches before it actually could distort his handsome features.

"Isn't it obvious? Recording is not as easy as you think!" I dropped my "weapon" and stood up, hands on hips. "Which reminds me, aren't you suppose to be practicing now?"

"Well, I don't feel like playing now. Don't you want to spend more time with me?" He said innocently.

I blushed a little and whipped out a paper fan (sounds familiar huh?) before hitting it hard on his head. "Cut it off and get back to practice!" He rubbed the bump on his head and winced. "Never offend a manager in recording... Especially Yu-chan..."

"What did you say!?" I pointed my fan at his face, my eyes gleamed evilly. "I should be getting back to practice~!" He said before rushing back to the court. I sat back on the bench and studied him as he prepared himself for a three pointer.

-Swish-

It went in easily, like smooth silk. I had to admit, his skills were getting better each day. I covered my ears as the girls sitting behind me starts shrieking and screaming.

"SENDOH!! AHHH~! OH MY GOSH! HE SMILED AT ME!"

I shot Akira a damn-you-it's-all-your-fault-for-screaming-girls look and he smiled at me. I could almost see a no-choice-since-sendoh-akira's-so-cute look in his deep blue eyes.

"You mean you're going to Shohoku for three days to observe their playing?!" Akira looked at me with a shocked look on his face, as if going to Shohoku means going to feed myself to snakes.

"Yes! What's the big deal anyway?"

"My rival is there!"

"I know! Rukawa Kaede! That's why I'm going there to observe their playing! So that you all could play better! Anyway, coach had already agreed."

"Okay..."

I stopped walking and turned to face Akira, who had that unreadable expression on his face. "Eh? Yu-chan?"

I looked up into his deep blue eyes and smiled. "It's okay! Don't be worried!" I pointed a finger straight at him. "I'm only gone for three days! And when I come back, I want to see a better Sendoh Akira! Heard that?"

He laughed and patted my head gently while I scowled at him. I hate him when he did that. "Hai hai! Ja, ikimasho!"
