It was an early morning in Shohoku High to chat about the upcoming regional elimination for the high school division in basketball. Shohoku's mainstay and it's captain ball, Akagi Takenori, was expected to move into final league cause now, the number one junior high player in their prefecture, Rukawa Kaede is in Shohoku.
Between mountains of gossips, his name is truly popular not only in basketball but also in looks. He was mentioned again and again in the mouth of every person.
The once quiet school now turned into a chat room, neither one person was quiet nor was not listening. Despite all this commotions, silence suddenly filled the air as if an angel had passed.
Well…an angel did pass for the brown-reddish haired girl appeared at Shohoku's main corridor. She just came from the bathroom to change her clothes and now everybody was staring at her from foot to head.
She was wearing the same uniform as the rest. Her face seemed new at the campus but not in each person's mind, everyone seems to know her.
Her hair majestically flowed behind her back and down her chest exaggerating her rather big breast. Her uniform showed the curve of her body, any woman can wish for. Her legs were "athletically built", that obviously came from playing a lot of sports. To sum it all up, her body was perfect in both men and women's point of view.
"It's her, isn't it?"
"Yeah, think so?"
"She's much beautiful in person!"
"Kakui!"
Sounds of buzzing whispers of the students were heard as the girl passed by. Their eyes followed her every movement, from the main corridor to the school's backyard.
"God, I hate it when this kind of thing happens!" she thought, as she scanned the place around. "This is one heck of a school!"
After she had parked her motorcycle correctly , she went on her way towards the main entrance door. Everyone was still following her every movement and was stalking her like crazy. At last, the door was now infront of her; it was a great chance to move away from these staring people. She held the knob of the entrance door and was about to open it when, a student caught her attention.
"Yes, what is it?" she asked while smiling.
The guy was trembling and he was looking for the right words but still nothing came out of his mouth. It was nearly a minute before they could say something; "You're Shinomori Natsumi, the Sports model, right?"
"If there's anything I hate most, its people calling me a model!" she sighed behind her thoughts. She just forced a smile on her face. "Well…yeah, I am…"
"See guys, I told you she's Natsumi! I'm right aren't I?" the once shy guy suddenly shouted. By the sound of his sentence and his words, everybody suddenly stopped to take a close look at her. They crowded into a circle near her like an autograph signing fans club day.
She sighed aloud, "This year will be a busy one!"
Just then, a scream was heard behind. Sensing that somebody was in danger, Natsumi turned around to see who it was but it only turned to be a bunch of blushing heart-shaped eyed girls looking at the main gate. Much to her concern, all she saw was a black-haired VERY good-looking otoko who came across the school ground with his pink bike.
She sighed but then again, his appearance alarmed her. "He…he was the one…in my dream. Kso…he was the one I'm sure of it!"
The guy then bumped into the tree and scratched his head. He left his bike there and walked towards the…
"Gym…" she whispered softly. "Gomen ne minna! I need to talk to the principal you see…" she lied and turned away. She tried so hard to struggle free from the crowd that was surrounding her and without any second thoughts, she followed him.
"Common…I've got to find out why are you in my dream last night!"
She was following the guy until he finally vanished behind the steel sliding door of the next building. "Where the hell is he now?" she asked aloud. "Matte…I don't even know where the hell is their gym located!" she then realized. It was just a matter of seconds when a dribbling sound was heard inside the building. She peeped at the small opened space of the door, where she saw the basketball court and the same guy dunking the ball gorgeously.
Her eyes widened as the ball fell down the hoop "Gorgeous…" she whispered. A sound of a person clapping was heard after his beautiful shot. There suddenly stood two other guys. The taller one was more than six feet tall with a face almost like a gorilla and was dark in color.
The other one was a megane, almost 5'11 in height and just in normal weight unlike the other two. He was very neat, well…handsome too, and he was the type who was usually called a genius.
"They were both in my dream too…" she then realized while getting a little closer to hear better.
"So, the rumor that Rukawa Kaede is great isn't just a bluff!" the gorilla-like man started.
Natsumi's eyes grew big, "Rukawa…" she repeated the name of the black-haired guy she was previously following. She inched a little closer to the door to have a clearer view of what's happening inside.
Rukawa glanced at the gorilla-like man at the corner of his eye with both his eyebrows crossed. "Kso…" he said quickly.
"Ma…ma…ma, Akagi…" megane stood infront of the gorilla-like guy calming him down. "By the way Rukawa, you're coming tomorrow aren't you?" he turned at the silent guy behind him.
"Kogure…" Akagi whispered.
"Akagi…Kogure…" Natsumi said to herself.
Rukawa just nodded at Kogure.
"I see…AH…" Kogure tightened his fist and knocked his open arm, making a sign that he remembered something. "…that Sakuragi guy, that your sister is talking about is also coming tomorrow ne?"
That word suddenly struck Natsumi, "Sakuragi…so I'm right…he IS studying here…what a coincidence!" she thought.
"Hn, I doubt it! After all, he's just an amateur and a troublemaker. Hn, Wako Junior High students, BAKA!" Akagi said, but his voice told Natsumi that he badly needs that Sakuragi's help.
Kogure just smiled.
Natsumi leaned backwards on the wall beside the gym's door. She turned up and gazed at the blue sky, closed her eyes then smiled, "Interesting…Shohoku's basketball's so interesting…no…even its members are…"
