So it's a Date?
At the Rukawa/Huyuno residence:
"Wake up," Rukawa said getting use to the routine.
"5 more minutes otousan," Miyuki said turning away and pulling the sheets over her head.
Rukawa sighed and pulled away the sheet. She was curled up like a dried shrimp. Rukawa pulled her up, "You're going to practice with me."
'Now you know how it feels to be rudely awake,' Rukawa thought putting up a hand to block her incoming fist.
She groaned, "Ouch, that hurt my hand. What's wrong with you? It's 5:45. Practise later. I got a game today. I need rest."
"No. You're going to be my practice partner," he said pulling her to the bathroom.
.
At the Sendoh residence:
A really annoying ringing of the doorbell.
Rika toss the pillow over hear ears but it was useless. She could still hear the constant ringing of the doorbell.
"Akira go get it!" she hollered at her brother across the hall.
No response.
Annoyed she pulled herself out of bed and answered the door knowing who it was before even opening it. Her brother's ex-girlfriend, Rei.
"Ohayou, Rika-chan!!"
"What?"
"Oh, I just brought you guys breakfast," she said holding a bag.
Rika took the bag and slammed the door after muttering, "Thanks."
She began ringing the doorbell again. Rika went to Sendoh's room and gave him a kick, "Go tell her to leave."
"Huh? What?" Sendoh asked sitting up, "is it time to go to school already?"
Rika pulled out his ear plugs, wiped it and stuffed it in her ears, as she walked to her room, 'Aaaah, peace and quiet. Akira can contend to her.'
.
Miyuki put on her roller blades, "I got to go to school early today so you can handle your own cheerleading brigade."
A grunt.
Miyuki yawned, sometimes she regretting not going to Shohoku which was much closer but if girls knew Kaede was her brother… She got off the train and was just in time to catch her ride.
"Ohayou Jin, Kiyota!" she said grabbing a hold of Kiyota.
"Miyuki, you and Rika are going to be playing today right?"
Miyuki smiled, "Yes Kiyota. Rika is playing today."
.
"Ayako-san I would like to leave early today."
"No problem, but may I asked why Rukawa?"
"Miyuki's playing today," Rukawa said.
"Really? She's playing? Where?"
.
Rika wonder if her brother got to school yet. The last she saw of him, he was in the washroom gelling his hair.
"Rika-chan!!"
"Ohayou!"
She turned to see Jin, Kiyota, and Miyuki. Kiyota jumped off Jin's back and ran to her, "I heard you're having a game today. I'll be there cheering for you."
'Oh, this is great. A lovely way to start the day,' she thought glaring at Miyuki who was chatting with Jin.
.
"Huyuno Miyuki," Rika said grabbing her arm.
Miyuki turned with a smile, "Yes?"
"You know my brother?"
"Hai. I met him yesterday. He seems quite nice. Why?"
"Stay away from him," she warned.
"…" Miyuki grinned, "you're not the first to say that to me. Why are you so worried Rika-chan?"
Her eyes flashed.
Miyuki smiled, "We better go out. Time to win, ne?"
.
Sendoh looked at the time, 'The match started for 10 minutes.'
"Sendoh?"
"Oh, Ayako? Why are you here?"
"To see Rukawa's sister play, actually maybe I should said my friend."
"Rukawa has a sister that's on the team?"
"Yeah. Huyuno Miyuki."
"She's his sister? I thought they were a couple."
Ayako laughed, "They usually use that trick to fend off crazy admirers. Are you a crazy admirer Sendoh?"
Sendoh didn't skip a beat, "Your admirer."
Ayako smirked, "Right. But it has to be Miyuki's idea. She's the one with the crazy ideas and 101 break-up plans."
'Really? Maybe she can help me get rid of Rei.'
"Ayako-chan, why did you run so fast?" Ryota asked and glared at Sendoh, "why are you talking to him?"
Ayako sighed.
'These two are interesting.'
.
"Kaede-kun did you see? We kicked ass!"
"Miyuki-chan."
"Oh, Sendoh-san?"
"Can I talk to you?"
Rukawa tossing daggers in Sendoh's direction.
"Sure," she said, "what about?"
He pulled her aside, "I heard you're very good with breaking-up with people. There's this girl I dated and I can't get her to leave me alone. I tried everything. Pretending to be gay, saying I got AIDS..."
She laughed, "I'll help you but if I'm successful you owe me a favor."
"No problem."
"Damn, if I knew you'd agree so easily I should've asked for 2. You busy on Saturday?"
"No. Why?"
"Lets go out."
"You asking me out on a date?" he asked intrigued.
"Sure but as friends. I mean you're not my type of guy."
"You're not my type of girl," he said truthfully, "but what's wrong with me?"
"What's wrong with me? You tell me first."
"Ladies first."
"Fine, you're not cool enough."
Sendoh smiled, "You're not top heavy enough."
"Oh you'll regret that in 3 years," she said, "I better go. Kaede and Rika looks really pissed."
"So it's a date. Where and when shall we meet?" he asked.
.
"What were you talking to her about?" Rika asked.
"She asked me out on a date."
"Nani?" Rika said, "you didn't say yes, did you?"
"Well, of course I did."
.
Vein popping on Rukawa and Rika's forehead, 'I'll be damned if I let them get together.'
