A/N: The italicized words is my narrative voice, ok?

Other stuff to note in case U guys get confused w/ who's who in Hanamichi's guntai Anozumi's the fat one, Yuji's the blond guy, and Sauichiro's the guy w/ the moustache. I believe everyone knows who Youhei is.

Ayako and Miyuki's Ski Trip Recruits

(A couple of months has passed. It's going to be Winter Break soon. Sendoh and Miyuki are friends. Rukawa and Rika are…well, 2 people that don't exactly like each other but are working together.)

Miyuki looked at Rukawa, "Hey, we got winter break in 3 days. Are we going to go on our annual ski trip?"

"Sure."

"It's pretty expensive to buy tickets to go there and back. Maybe we should rent a bus."

"That's more expensive."

"Not if a bunch of us take it together," she said.

"Who are you going to ask to come along?"

Miyuki smiled, "Don't know. But I do want to meet your team mates."

"Those bakas? Hn, I'm not going to invite them."

Miyuki smirked, "They probably won't come if you asked them."

.

"Rika-chan tomorrow's the start of winter break. What do you plan on doing?" Kiyota asked.

'Where did our bio-sensei go?' she wondered.

"If you got nothing to do…"

He was interrupted by a cry, "Loose snake, loose snake!"

"Don't worry Rika-chan. I'll protect you."

Rika rolled her eyes, as people jumped onto the tables and chairs, 'Oh, puh-lease. It's a tiny, harmless, garden snake. Like I need your protection.'

She watch as Miyuki went and picked up the snake, "You guys are scaring it with the noise. It sense vibrations."

"Ewwww. Miyuki who can you touch something so slimy and gross?"

There was a snicker as a girl said, "I'm sure she touched guys slimier than that snake. She doesn't mind doing stuff that sickens other people."

"Teme…" Kiyota said sound annoyed.

'That was a bit uncalled for.'

Miyuki's smile didn't waver, "Actually you're partly right. I have touched slimier guys because it's a misconception that snakes are slimy. They are actually quite cool and smooth. Guys on the other hand, sweat and are gross and icky. But as for doing stuff that sickens people I'm not quite sure. I mean I wouldn't eat food that expired a week ago to save money. After all, I don't want to get sick either."

She put the snake back into the container.

'How can she smile and not get angry when that girl was so obviously putting her down?'

"So what are you guys talking about?" Miyuki asked.

"What to do for the winter break," Kiyota replied.

"Would you guys like to go skiing at Sunview Ski Lodge with us?" Miyuki asked.

"No," Rika stated.

"Really? Your oniisan's going."

'He's going? Why? He can't even ski,' Rika thought.

"Rika-chan you got an oniisan? Who is he?" Kiyota asked.

"Fine. I'll go," Rika said ignoring Kiyota's questions.

"If Rika-chan's going, so am I."

Miyuki smiled, "Great! So 2 more people to add to my list."

.

Ayako clapped her hands, "Practise is over but I got an announcement to make. A friend of mine and I are arranging a ski trip, for the winter break. Who'd like to come?"

"Me!! Me!! Oooooh me!!" Ryota cried waving his hands around wildly in the air.

"Ok. I see you Miyagi," Ayako said.

"I'll go Ayako-chan," Haruko said.

"If Haruko-chan's going, me too!" Hanamichi declared.

"Sakuragi you're going?" Anozumi asked.

"Duh. Haruko and I get to spend time together. Gori can't go because he got to tutor Micchy for the midterm," Hanamichi snickered evilly.

(Sakuragi's guntai pull aside to discuss things:)

"Hanamichi and Haruko," Anozumi begins.

"He declares his love," Yuji continues.

"And he is dumped for the 51st time!!" they cried.

"Ayako-neesan we want to go too!!" they cried.

'Why do I know these troublesome people? I won't want to baby-sit them. I never should've asked them. Why did I listen to Miyuki?'

.

Akagi pulled Kogure aside, "I need to ask a favor from you."

"What is it?"

"Go with them. Don't let them get into trouble, keep an eye them. Especially Hanamichi and don't let him get close to my sister."

Kogure laughed softly and nodded, "Hai."

.

"So who do you have?"

"Lets see…from Ryonan there's Sendoh and Aida Hikoichi. Kainan there's Jin, Kiyota, and Rika. Your recruits?"

"I beat you. I got 8. Kogure, Miyagi, Sakuragi, Haruko, Youhei, Anozumi, Yuji, Sauichiro."

"Sakuragi as in redhead monk-key?"

"Monk-key?" Ayako repeated

"Well Kaede-kun said he looks like a monk and acts like a monkey. So monk-key," Miyuki smiled.

Ayako sighed, "Yes."

"Haruko as in the girl Hanamichi likes but is an admirer of oniisan?"

Another sigh, "Yes."

"Miyagi as in your boyfriend?"

"Y…no!!! He's not my boyfriend!!"

Miyuki laughed, "You almost said yes that time."

Ayako sighed, "How can you laugh? I feel sick just thinking about it. Do you know what happens when Hanamichi, Kiyota and Rukawa meet? Trouble. Chaos. And with Miyagi and Sakuragi's guntai there…"

"Don't be such a worrywart Aya-chan," Miyuki said brushing it off, "it's going to be fun. This is going to be an interesting and unforgettable trip! I feel so excited!!"

"That's because you don't know them."

"So are there any cute guys at Shohoku?"
