       "Morning, Hana-kun!" A voice jerked Hanamichi out of his thoughts. He turned his head to greet his friend.

       "Morning, Min-kun." He answered in his usual cheery voice. "Man, I want to play against our seniors again. I'm sure this time we'll crush them!" Kogure could only sweatdropped at this.

       "Have you done your English homework?" Kogure asked.

       "Ah, sure I have. It was very easy." The redhead grinned.

       "Morning!" A cheery voice made Kogure and Hanamichi's heads turned. There they saw one of the sempai waved at them.

       "Good morning, Sendoh-sempai." Kogure greeted.

       "Morning, Smiley!" Hanamichi grinned and waved his hand. Then he saw three other sempais appeared behind Sendoh. "Good morning, Kitsune, Micchy, and Oyaji (old man)!!!"

       "Good morning, sempai-tachi." Kogure smiled at them.

       "Morning." Mitsui smiled.

       "Hn." Rukawa just nodded.

       "Good morning, and don't call me that." Maki answered.

       "But that suit you just fine, oyaji." Hanamichi grinned, made four hearts started beating faster.

       "Yeah, that suit you just fine, o-y-a-j-i." Mitsui grinned too.

       "Shut up, Hisashi!"

       "Morning, all!"

       The small group turned their heads toward the source, only to see Koshino, Kiyota, and Fujima walked together with big smiles.

       "Morning Hiro-chan, Kenji-chan, Nobu-kun!" Hanamichi smiled widely and waved at them.

       Together, the five freshmen and four sophomores made their way together to their school building.

*****

       "RUKAWA!!! RUKAWA!!! LOVE ME LOVE ME RUKAWA!!!"

       "MITSUI-KUUUNNNN!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!"

       "GO!!! MAKI-SAN!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!"

       "AAAAHHHHH!!!! SENDOH-SAAAAAANNNNN!!!!"

       Hanamichi and the other freshmen covered their ears and grimaced. Those shouts were VERY loud! It looked like the sophomores and seniors have gotten used to hear the shouts. Hanamichi, Kiyota, Koshino, and a few others hot-headed-type freshmen gritted their teeth in annoyance.

       "Can't they just shut up!? How can we have a proper training with all of these goddamn noises!?" Koshino hissed angrily.

       "Well, we have heard those noises for a year and yet we're still alive, aren't we?" Akagi smiled bitterly. "Those girls have been like that since Rukawa, Mitsui, Maki, and Sendoh entered the basketball team."

       "They sure all popular." Kogure commented.

       "It was nothing compared to OUR fans in quantity back then in America. But these girls are much more noisier!!!" Kiyota grumbled.

       "Yeah! Because oretachi wa TENSAI!!!" Hanamichi laughed.

       "Yeah! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Kiyota joined the redhead. Each of them received a smack from the captain.

       "Urusai! Both of you are worse than those Shitei Shinetai."

       "Shitei Shinetai? The Four Emperor's Brigade (AN: He said it in English)?" Koshino tilted his head to one side. "Who would come up with such a corny name?"

       "Those girls address Maki, Rukawa, Sendoh, and Mitsui as Shitei and call themselves as Shitei Shinetai. They always come to all of our games, even just the practice games to support those four. Man, can you imagine the basketball team's embarrassment?" Akagi groaned.

*****

       Everyone stopped their practice when the gym door opened, revealing an old man who was their principal, Akiyama-sensei.

       "Good afternoon, Akiyama-sensei." Akagi greeted. "What brings you to our practice?"

       "Actually…" Akiyama-sensei smiled. "There's a young man who want to meet five of basketball team members. Can I see Sakuragi-kun, Koshino-kun, Kogure-kun, Fujima-kun, and Kiyota-kun?"

       The five freshmen looked at each other then walked out of their groups. Akiyama-sensei smiled again.

       "Then I'll leave your guest here." He then walked out of the gym.

       The gym door still opened as a young man entered. He was tall, had a beautiful golden blonde hair, pale skin, and perfectly handsome gaijin look. All of the basketball members stared at this man confusedly. But their thought ended as the bouncing sound of a ball reached their ears. They stared at the five freshmen, which had gone VERY pale. Sakuragi took a step back shakingly after the ball fell out his grasp. Kogure's mouth opened disbelievingly and his eyes widened. Koshino's lips trembled and he clenched his fist. Kiyota mouthed a lot of 'how's and he shook his head slightly. And if looks could kill, the 'guest' would have dropped dead by then, as Fujima threw a hateful, angry, and deadly glare at him.

       WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!??? Koshino's shout broke the silence.

       Now..now… Don't be so angry, Hiroaki… The gaijin grinned at him. I'm here because I miss Hana. A month is not a short time, you know. He said as he turned to the very pale redhead.

       You are unwanted here! Fujima stepped beside Koshino. Go away! Stay away from Hana! Stay away from us!

       Let's see if you can make me stay away from you. The gaijin said mockingly.

       OH YEAH!? Shouted the hotheaded Kiyota. THEN DON'T BLAME ME IF I KILL YOU RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!

       Do you want to say anything, Hana? The gaijin turned his attention back to Hanamichi.

       "What's this!?" Akagi ended their conversation. "And may I ask who are you?" He turned to the gaijin.

       "Oh, sorry for my rudeness." The gaijin said, smiled to Akagi. "My name is Renville. Bryan Renville." He offered his hand to Akagi.

       Akagi, sensing that none of the five freshmen liked this man, completely ignored Bryan's hand. Bryan smiled bitterly and pulled away.

       "You are disturbing our practice." A cold voice said. All heads turned to Rukawa who was standing with his arms folded in front of his chest. "Go away."

       You heard him, Bryan. Kogure stepped in. Leave us…now… If you please…

       Silence…

       "Okay then…" Bryan smiled maliciously. " But I'll see you again."

       With that, Bryan Renville left the basketball gym. Leaving all of the members wondered about his connection with the five freshmen. Kiyota turned to the redhead.

       "Hana-kun…daijobu ka?" Kiyota asked carefully.

       Hanamichi trembled slightly then he turned his back and ran as fast as he could to the changing room. His friends looked at each other before sighing and looked down.

       "Who was that?" Mitsui asked Kogure. The later just shook his head.

       "You wouldn't want to know…" Fujima answered.

*****

       {Why is he here? Why is he here? Why is he here? Why is he here?} Sakuragi sat in a corner with his knees drew to his chest and his arms hugged them. {Why can't he leave me alone? Leave us alone?}

       "Sakuragi?" A voice made Hanamichi looked up. Ayako was standing at the door with worried expression on her face. "Are you alright?"

       "Ayako-san…" Hanamichi stood up slowly. "I'm sorry to make you worry. I'm okay."

       Hanamichi forced a smile to her. Ayako frowned, she knew that Sakuragi was not alright at all.

       "Well, I'll be there if you want to talk about it." She smiled and patted Hanamichi's head.

       "Thank you, Ayako-san."
