DISCLAIMER: Same as always. I don't Slam Dunk. I do own Miyuki Shinamori.

Author Notes: Arigato for the reviews. Thank you very much!

Unquestionable: Yes, I'm from Canada. The only place I've seen Avril Lavigne is on TV. Hehe. Do you like her?

Please don't go after Miyuki yet, I still need her to complete this story. BTW, you think you can go after someone for me?

mskitsune: Thanks. I know that Rukawa's remarks aren't very sarcastic. I'll fix that. By the way, you name, is it, Ms. Kitsune? Just wondering.

Celestial Moon: Arigato for the review. I can't say what happens in the next chappy. S.E.C.R.E.T.

*has anyone seen Gravitation? I love the way Shuichi is in the beginning of the third episode. When he has those huge eyes and teases Hiro about what happened the night before. Hehe. Just had to put this in since he goes "S.E.C.R.E.T" in Japanese.

miracle: I'm not mad that your previous review was short. I'm just glad that you reviewed. Thank you!

Three Shrewd Ways to Ruin a Wedding

Miyuki smiled, I'm good.

He noticed her smile and figured that he was doing what Miyuki wanted him to do. "I said, you're pretty when you're mad. Pretty ugly!" He retorted and sighed in relief, unnoticeably when she let go of him.

Miyuki nodded. "Okay." She placed her pool stick back onto the rack and slowly walked away. What a jerk. He may be cute but definitely a jerk, she thought to herself and walked out of the billiard room. Her hand wrapped around her wrist and she realized that she had left her bracelet in Rukawa's room. Looking back into the billiard room, she noticed that he was still playing so she went ahead to his room.

As she walked in, she noticed how his room was full of basketball items, including jerseys, a basketball and a poster of Michael Jordan. Funny how I never noticed this before, she pondered. Maybe it was because you were too busy thinking about Rukawa, a tiny voice inside her head told her.

No.

Of course you were Miyuki…you were.

Trust me, I think I'd know. Why of all people would I be thinking about Rukawa??? Hello! He's going to be my stepbrother in two weeks!

Don't be so stubborn Miyuki.

Miyuki scoffed. Her, stubborn? Of all people. She headed to Rukawa's bed and saw her bracelet on the floor. She bent down to pick it up. When she straightened up, she bumped into someone. Rukawa! She panicked. "I just came back to get my bracelet. I'll leave now." She started to leave but remembered something. "Why did you follow me to the pool?"

"Because you were lost. That's why." He turned away and jumped in his bed. He stared at her. "Aren't you gonna leave?" He sat up and stared at her.

Is he insulting me? Miyuki sat down on the bed as an evil idea came to her. She scooted closer to Rukawa and threw her arms around his neck. "Oh Rukawa, I need some company. I'm so lonely." She pretended to cry.

Rukawa was surprised and gasping because Miyuki started tightening her grip around her neck. I'll never understand this girl. First she says she hates me, then she starts crying on me? Am I missing something here? Wait a minute, this is all a game. Two can play at that game. Crying? Her? I'm sure people from hell don't cry. He hugged her. "Yeah, I know you want company. I just didn't know you wanted me."

Miyuki paused. Wanted him? Yeah right! She tried to pull away but Rukawa wouldn't let go. Her idea was backfiring on her. "Lecher! Let me go."

"No. Not until you tell me why you're so intent into playing this game." Rukawa stated firmly and pulled her closer. So again, their faces were almost touching. "I've caught on to you." He whispered, blowing softly in her ear.

She shivered slightly and brought her legs up on the bad. But she was still trying to squirm her way out of his grasp. "I'm not playing a game Rukawa. Let go of me or I'll scream bloody mur-" She was cut off when Rukawa placed his forefinger on her lips.

"Hush. You're better when you're quiet, Miyuki." He replied, calling her by her name for the first time. He forced her head to lean forward and brought his head closer. "You're not the only one who can play at this game. Have you heard the saying two can play at that game?" He used one hand and twisted a lock of her hair.

Miyuki didn't say anything. Two can play at that game huh? Okay then. Have it your way Rukawa Kaede. She managed to free an arm and snake it around his neck. "Good job Rukawa, you caught on quickly. I never knew you were so smart, baka." Then she pulled away about to stand up, when she tripped on her heels and fell back on the bed, grabbing Rukawa in the process. Now he was over her.

"Now I knew you wanted me but do we have to resort to that?" Rukawa, already standing replied, pulling her up.

Miyuki fumed. "HENTAI!!!" She screeched and stood up without his help. She dusted herself and straightened out her dress. Glaring at Rukawa straight in the eye, she said more calmly, "Baka, baka, baka!" Then she calmly walked out the door. "Bye Rukawa." She called out.

Miyuki sighed in relief when she was downstairs. That was too close. Way too close.

Too close for what? The voice inside her head came back.

Rukawa, what was he thinking?

I know you liked it.

Miyuki rolled her eyes. Please, of all people…yes I did.

Author Notes: Good, bad? Please review. Reviews are greatly appreciated!
