DISCLAIMER: I don't own Slam Dunk.
FrozenFemale: Thanks for reviewing. Don't worry about not reviewing the other chapters.
Yeah, it's kinda quick to have Rukawa thinking about Miyuki at that time but did you read the previous chapters? I hope those chapters explain why.
Unquestionable: BWHAHAHAHAHA. I am not alone. Yeah, my physics teacher failed me. I never told my parents though. Eheheh. Thanks for the review. Does Rukawa become jealous in the show or is it just my insane imagination?
Miracle: Thanks for the review! I heard he IS selfish, crude, prude, lewd and shrewd. Hehe. Just kidding. I love Rukawa with all my heart! I just prefer Sendoh and Mitsui over him!
-^.^- : Thanks for reviewing! Is it really getting to the interesting part? Oh, and don't worry about that review. It's fine.
Kuroi Neko-kun: Thank you. I'm glad I caught your attention. I feel special. You're reading my fic at midnight! But, still, you shouldn't stay up for this! Thanks anyway!
Rheia: Yeah. It was supposed to rhyme. Thanks for reviewing!
Well, here's the next chappy everyone! I was wondering, Koshino Hiroaki, what's his surname and what's his personality like?
Three Shrewd Ways to Ruin a Wedding
The game ended 55-49 in favor of Ryonan. As the fans out the gym, the players went into the change rooms to take a shower and change.
"So Miyuki, are you going to the party?" Sendoh asked once he emerged from the change room. He picked up his sports bag and accompanied Miyuki to some empty chairs.
"What party?"
"A couple people from Ryonan are having one and Shohoku people are also invited. It's kinda like a basketball party. So are you coming?"
Miyuki nodded cheerily. "Of course. Mom isn't here so I don't have curfew. Let me ask the others if they want go too. Where's it at?"
Sendoh laughed. "Being naughty when mother isn't around. It's at Koshino's house." He sat down and sighed.
She looked down on him and grinned. "Yup, let's go. I'll go ask Aya and Miyagi." She skipped to Miyagi and Ayako who were in a conversation. When Miyuki got closer she could hear Miyagi wailing.
"Aya, so please. Please Aya."
Miyuki giggled insinuating that Miyagi was asking Aya for a date. "Oy, you two."
They stopped.
"Are you going to the party at Koshino's house? It'll be fun." She suggested and winked at Miyagi, giving him a silent idea.
Miyagi understood and held onto Ayako's arm. "Let's go Ayako. Like Miyuki said, it'll be fun. There'll be lots of people there and tomorrow is Sunday anyway."
Ayako paused, as if to think about it. Slowly she smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Miyagi turned around and jumped. "Yes! She likes me!"
"I'll go with you Miyuki." He heard Ayako say and saw them walking away together. Dejectedly he followed.
"Let's go." Sendoh exclaimed as soon as they were all together. He glanced around to see the gym almost empty. "We don't want to be late." He was about to walk out of the gym when he spotted Rukawa exiting the change room. "Hey!" He called out to him.
Rukawa barely glanced up.
"Wanna come with us to Koshino's party? Your team's going and so is Ayako and Miyuki."
"Fine." A slow drawl escaped his lips.
Miyagi, who feeling very sarcastic stepped back and gave a mock gasp. "He speaks!"
Loud music blared from Koshino's house as Rukawa and Company entered. The place was crowded and there was almost no breathing air. "Koshino!" Sendoh yelled in vain over the loud music.
"Kitsune!" A very familiar voice somehow rang over the noise, causing Rukawa's head to turn and glare at its owner. "Spikey smiley!" Sakuragi stepped in front of them and laughed.
"Do'aho."
"Teme kitsune!" A vein popped from Sakuragi's forehead and he stepped back curling his fist and gave Rukawa and angry look. His fist was about to fly but was abruptly stopped by a knock on the head by Akagi.
Everyone sweatdropped. "Oh my." Ayako mumbled.
As Sakuragi sunk down to the floor, Kiyota came bouncing in.
"What's with all these monkeys here?" Miyuki wailed, straining her hand to cover her forehead. She sullenly glanced at Kiyota's grinning face.
"HAHAHAHA. The monkey got a 'Gori' punch." He laughed purposely in his face.
"What is this? Some kind of circus. We didn't even go past the front door and there are already two wild monkeys laughing like crazy fools!" Ayako retorted. She was getting a headache from the noise, not to mention Kiyota's hyena like laugh.
It didn't last long since Maki appeared and dragged Kiyota away. Haruko also came looking very concerned. After giving Rukawa a dazzling smile, she and Akagi left to get Sakuragi some ice.
Sendoh sweatdropped. "Okay. That was interesting." He turned to the others and grinned. "Let's party!"
Miyagi and Ayako suddenly had disappeared and left the other three looking very confused.
"Who cares about them for now. Let's go." Miyuki replied and waltzed into the living room.
"Hey Shinamori, come play with us." One of the people who was gathered in a circle called out to her. "Spin the bottle!"
Miyuki eyed them ruefully. "Isn't that a bit childish?" She teased. Sendoh and Rukawa were standing behind her. "What about truth or dare? More thrill."
The group laughed. "Whatever Miyuki. I think that Truth or Dare is childish unless you add in a tiny factor." The person who called out to her replied. He handed her a glass with clear liquid. The scent reached her nostrils, giving her a strong musky scent. "Alcohol."
She intently eyed it. She had never drunk before at a party. As she reached for the glass, Sendoh pulled her away.
"Sorry people, ask her again in two years." He led her away.
"Let go of me. I want to play." Miyuki struggled, pulling herself away from Sendoh's grip. Rukawa held her other arm. "What is it with you people? Leave me be!" She screamed and as they let go, she gave a devious smile and ran back to the living room.
Suddenly she stopped abruptly when she heard someone talking in a foreign language. She turned around, an idea forming to her head. "Hey Rukawa, come here." She called out, walking towards him and Sendoh. "I have one last idea to try and stop this wedding."
"Which is?"
She grabbed his hand and led him around the house. "Koshino!"
"What?" The brown haired boy asked her.
"Do you have a phone I can use where it's not so noisy?"
Koshino nodded and led her upstairs to his room. Opening the door, he pointed to the phone. "What do you need with it?"
"Something. I also need your computer. Thanks a bunch." Miyuki plopped down on the bed and turned the computer on.
Sendoh entered followed by a curious Sakuragi. He peeped in and scrutinized Rukawa and Miyuki.
Miyuki sighed. "Don't you know that curiosity kills the cat Sakuragi?"
"I am not a cat."
She rolled her eyes. "It happens to monkeys too." She sat in front of the computer. "Close the door." She ordered.
"What exactly are you planning?" Sendoh asked. Leaning behind Miyuki he watched her go to a web page and dialing a number on the phone at the same time.
The web site was fully loaded and it revealed a translation page. "This is one last attempt to break off the marriage. Rukawa, does your father have any clients in France?"
He nodded slightly carefully watching what Miyuki was doing. Even Sakuragi was watching carefully.
Miyuki typed in a phrase.
"Hello. My little snail. My little snail?" Sendoh read the screen.
Miyuki placed a finger on her lips as she waited on the phone. "Yes. Room 483 please." She paused then started talking again. "*Bonjour mon petit escargot!"
Sendoh, Rukawa and Sakuragi all gave her weird looks as if she were nuts.
"*Comment êtes-vous?" She continued. "Oh, is this not Monsieur Rukawa's suite?" She replied in a fake French accent. "Why you, who I am? Is not very hard to figure out. I am Monsieur Rukawa's amant! That is what you call a girlfriend."
The others could hear a very strained voice on the other end of the line.
Miyuki had a hard time keeping her face straight. "***Oui oui, I shall wait." She turned to the guys. "See, learning other languages is fun! My mom thinks that your dad is seeing someone else. Its going as planned."
"Oh, oh, say this, Ore wa tensai!" Sakuragi bellowed.
Miyuki hastily clasped the mouthpiece. "Shut up Sakuragi! They can probably hear you. If they find out that we're not French, we're busted. Wait, Rukawa, now you have to say something in French to make your dad think that you're my mom's French boyfriend. Or would you like to be German?"
He looked at her as if she was insane.
Sendoh tried not to laugh.
"Okay, you'll be French!" Miyuki typed in a phrase.
"****Bonjour mon amour" He replied without any enthusiasm.
Sendoh burst out laughing followed by Sakuragi. "Rukawa, you sound like a computer. "Bonjur mon amor." Sendoh repeated the phrase the way Rukawa actually said it.
Sakuragi fell back laughing. "NYAHAHAHAHA. The kitsune cannot speak French. Not like the tensai." He clutched onto his stomach.
No one said anything then turned back to the monitor. "Come on Rukawa, you have to say something. If you don't, in two weeks we'll be related!" Miyuki cried in agony, biting her lip and pulling her hair out.
So it agonizes you. Good to know. "No. You say it!"
She pouted. "Don't be such a poop! Just do it! It's not gonna kill you!" She stood up abruptly, making the chair fall.
Rukawa shook his head. "No."
Miyuki rolled her eyes and grabbed his shoulders. "Please Ru~ka~wa!"
"*****Bonjour. Comment êtes-vous mon chéri? Amusant?"
Miyuki and Rukawa paused and noticed Sendoh chatting happily on the phone. They both aweatdropped.
"Oui. I'll be waiting for you darling. Bon bye. ******Je vous aime." Sendoh concluded and placed the receiver down.
Miyuki let go or Rukawa and smiled gratefully at Sendoh. "Oh Aki, that was the greatest performance of all time! You are a natural!" She complimented tiny hearts in her eyes starting to form. That should teach you Rukawa. Come on, I know you hate it when Akira is better than you at something!
