DISCLAIMER: I don't own Slam Dunk.
Hehe. Now you didn't think that was the end did you? That was just an alternate ending. I was kinda curious to see what happens if they didn't end up together. Everyone's mad at me. ~WAAAAAAA……~ Anyway. Here's the real ending. And I had to put the alternate ending first before the real one. I just want all of you to kinda read carefully. You'll see why. Enjoy. Please review. And I accept flames. Like seriously, I'll be having steak for a week after you read this chappy. ^___^

AluCard: No offense taken. Here's the next chappy and I hope it's better than the last one. [which wasn't really part of the story anyway.]
Three Shrewd Ways to Ruin a Wedding
Miyuki hummed along Raven, a song she had been listening to a lot lately. She leaned back on the couch and pulled the blanket up to her chin. After visiting with Sendoh and Koshino she went straight home and decided she was in a slump. Home again. She mused and frowned. "Not fair!" She screamed out. "Why does it have to be this way? It's driving me nuts! And I can't even drive." Standing up, she threw the blanket aside and started pacing. "How can I do this? This puts complications in our relationship. Kami-sama, we're supposed to hate each other." She plopped down on the floor and buried her face in her hands. "Oh mother. Why of all people did you choose him?"
The doorbell rang, jerking Miyuki's head up. She slowly stood and took slow steps to the door. Don't open it, open it. She fought a silent battle with her self. Another ring startled her. She grabbed the door handle and flung the door open. "Ru…Rukawa." She gasped in surprised.
They eyed each other without saying a word. After a few minutes, words came out of Rukawa's lips. "Miyuki, can I talk to you?"
She panicked inside. "Well would you look at the time? Time to go to bed! Night Rukawa!" She faked a smile and tried to shut the door but Rukawa was latched onto her hand.
"I'm sorry Miyuki."
Miyuki stopped. No. Please. Don't you dare take it back!
"I'm sorry Miyuki, I couldn't, I wasn't thinking."
She opened the door wider. "Rukawa I'm sorry too I-" She was cut short when Rukawa leaned down and kissed her.
STOP! The voices in their heads screamed out, but both ignored. Let's see, plesure or morality?
Miyuki, this is the most selfish thing you've done. Get a hold of yourself. What about your mom? Her conscience screeched.
Who cares at the moment? She answered mentally.
You are damn selfish. Brat!
Kaede stop! You've been selfish all your life but this just crosses the line.
Do'aho, shut up.
They broke away and stared at each other incredulously. "Why are you doing this? It's wrong. Don't you get it? Our parents are going to suffer because of what we've done." Miyuki cried out. Her mom was going to hate her.
"Why are you complaining? You wanted it as much as I did. If you didn't want it, what do you want Miyuki? That we suffer? Living with each other and having to restrain ourselves?" Rukawa circled his arms around her waist.
Miyuki bit her lip. GACK! "Rukawa, I can restrain myself. I'm not sure about you though. I never knew you were just like Akira. Anyway, my mom wants to be ha-"
"What do you want?"
She froze. What I want? What I really want? She stared at his dark eyes.
He leaned forward and whispered tauntingly in her ear. "Tell me Miyuki, what do you want?"
Blueberry cheesecake, fries and a large coke, she wanted to yell out, trying to change the whole subject of what she wanted to what she suddenly craved for. "You…cheesecake!" She suddenly blurted.
His lips curved up in a smile. "What did you say?"
"I said I wanted cheesecake. That's what I really, really want." She flailed her arms and slipped away from Rukawa's grasp. She was going to usher him out of the door but he shut the door even before she could even touch it.
He gave her an icy glare. "Miyuki, this is driving me insane. Can you tell me what you want?"
"Read my lips baka. I want blueberry cheese-"
Rukawa placed a hand over her mouth. "Kami-sama Miyuki, you say cheesecake one more time I'm gonna…" He didn't finish.
"What?" Miyuki asked tauntingly. "Cheese-"
He shot forward so their faces were centimeters apart.
She smiled goofily. "If I say it one more time, what will you do?"
He shrugged.
"Okay." She smiled craftily. "Kae-"
He kissed her again. This time Miyuki returned the kiss. When he pulled away, Miyuki laughed. "I was about to say your name," She paused smiled and whispered. "Kaede."
He smiled in content upon hearing her say to his first name for the first time, and let her go.
"We have a problem. What about our parents?" She asked, picking up an apple from a plate.
Rukawa sighed. " I don't know."
Miyuki grinned, "What if we told them that you're gay?"
He sweatdropped. "How about no? I already thought about that." He followed her to the living room. "You never told me, what you want."
Miyuki was half listening. "You…what?" She replied and smiled teasingly. "Cheesecake."
Rukawa groaned in annoyance. "Damn you wench!" Miyuki yelped when Rukawa tackled her to the ground.
"Cheesecake, cheesecake." Miyuki sang out.
"Hush." Rukawa ordered and clamped her mouth with his hand. He tightened his grip as she tried to wriggle out of his grasp. He and Miyuki were at the Rukawa residence, savoring their last few moments together before their parents came home and announced, "We're still getting married!"
Rukawa could imagine their conversation. "Well dad, while you were gone, Miyuki and I hooked up. What will happen now?" "You two? Incest! You're both grounded for life." Twitch, twitch. "Miyu?" He asked, not sure why he wanted to talk to her. They hadn't really had a conversation since Miyuki arrived.
"Mmmm?" She mumbled and sighed loudly. She tucked a strand of hair behind her and smiled at Rukawa. "I'm scared. I don't want to tell them. Let's just pretend this didn't happen." She pleaded.
Rukawa sadly shook his head and tipped her chin up. He leaned closer until their noses were touching. "Can't keep it a secret." He replied and grazed her lips with his.
"Yes I can." She murmured stubbornly. They heard the doors slam shut and their parent's laughter.
Rukawa glanced at Miyuki. She was looking inside the house. "Let's go." She said and together they sullenly walked in.
"Miyuki, Kaede! It's great to see you again." Maya rushed to Miyuki and enveloped her in a tight embrace.
Miyuki hugged her mom back. "Me too mom. How was your vacation?"
Maya pulled away and nodded at Yamato. They led Kaede and Miyuki into the living room. "It's such a nice day out, why are you two inside?" Yamato asked.
"We were waiting for you. So did you have fun?" Miyuki answered.
Maya and Yamato sat on the couch and gave them grave looks. "Miyuki, Kaede, this may come out as a shock to you but…we're not getting married!" Yamato paused. "We never intended to."
Rukawa and Miyuki practically jumped for joy. Then it hit them. "What do you mean never intended to?" They cried out simultaneously.
Maya sighed and gave them a nervous chuckle. "You see, it was all a joke. It was a set up for you two to get together. Yamato and I were talking about one time and we thought that it would be cute if you two hooked up." She explained slowly, watching Miyuki's and Kaede's reaction.
Miyuki was surprised, like she had failed a grade or something. Surprised and shocked. Kaede, on the other hand, was stoic, but his eyes widened a bit.
"We wanted you to be friends, maybe more. So, if we said were going to get married, one of you would try and stop it, bringing the other with them." Yamato added.
Miyuki was dumbstruck. "It was a joke? Like haha funny?"
Yamato and Maya nodded.
"Well it's not!" All this while, she was worried about how her mom would feel, but it was her mom who was playing with her. "You played with us. We aren't puppets you know." She replied angrily. I spent so much time worrying. I even cried…all for nothing! "You could have just asked us to go out or something." Give me something to hit!
"We didn't want to old fashioned and set up a blind date. Actually, this whole idea was kinda creative. You have to admit it was ingenious Miyuki. Anyway, you two wouldn't listen. And you two were so busy at times, it was insane!" Maya argued.
Rukawa twitched. Now I know where Miyuki gets her so called 'ingenuity.' He could imagine Maya and Miyuki arm over each others shoulder, laughing maniacly holding their fingers in a 'V' shape. "Ore wa tensai!!!" Rukawa sweatdropped.
Miyuki snorted and turned angrily at Rukawa. "Hey, stop laughing. Do you realize what's going on here? I've been had, I've been played, I've been outwitted!!!" She wailed, acting melodramatic, clutching onto Rukawa's shirt. Then she turned to Yamato and Maya. "Old fashioned? Please. You could have just talked to me mom. Dad was in it too?"
Maya nodded. She's a weird one ne?
Rukawa turned away. He was tired of hearing them explain it out. It was a joke. Plain and simple. And his father set him up. Of all people. He started to walk away when his father grabbed his arm. "Kaede, wait. Let's talk about this."
"Go find a new toy." He jerked his arm away and walked to the garden.
Miyuki turned to her mom.
"Miyuki, please." Her mom begged her silently to say something nice. Sure. Miyuki shrugged and walked into the garden too. She sat on a marble bench where she was still in Maya's and Yamato's view, and buried her face in her hands. "It was all a joke. A set up. By our own parents. I can't believe it!" She said angrily.
"Believe it." An arm snaked around her waist and pulled her towards its owner. "You're not really angry are you?"
She lifted her head and found herself staring at Rukawa's blue eyes. "No I'm not Kaede…" His name escaped her lips as if she never said it before.
His lips curved up in a smile. "It worked, didn't it?" He pinched her cheeks and as he let go, a tint of ruby spread.
She started to smile and nodded happily as he brought her lips to his in yet another kiss. Her hand rested on his left shoulder as she kissed him back. When they pulled apart, Rukawa snickered, "Still rather tongue a snake?"
Miyuki laughed and rested against him, "Baka!"
