~ Tensaispira : Thank you for your advice. I'll try them one of these days. Actually, I'm scared to sleep in any of my classes because my profs will see me immediately because I'm in the second row. It's really hard not to fall asleep. My world is turning upside down and I'm crying for no reason. I even ask my seatmates to pinch me or slap me or blow my eyes…^_^;
~ Akira : Thank you!!! I thought you'd never read my fic again because of all the mistakes I've made. Ummm…I just would like to say……PLEASE FORGIVE AYAMI ON THIS CHAPTER! ~_^
~ Moonlight Rhapsody : Thank you!!!! TAMA! Ako'y isang pinoy, sa puso't diwa……LOL! :p

CHAPTER 5: The Plan
~~~ RRRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~
AYAMI
YEY! FINALLY, classes are over. ^_^
It's been a long and tiring day for me. Let me tell you what happened for the rest of the day…
After the talk with the principal, I ate my bento with Sakuragi-kun and his friends. We tried inviting Haruko-chan but she said that she has to go to the library.
So there I was…this girl surrounded by the most notorious guys at our school. People kept looking at me as if I decided I already wanted to die but…to hell with them. I enjoy their company. They're really nice and funny…especially Mito-kun. He told me some background stories about their group.
I found out that they've been classmates since junior high. I also found out a lot of things about Sakuragi-kun. You know, him being dumped for 50 times and for being an amateur at basketball. With that, he started fighting with his so-called friends. I also found out that he has a MAJOR crush on Haruko-chan.
Bummer…but still, I won't give up!
Anyway, after that, I returned to my classroom and found the Great Bakemono sleeping again.
Doesn't he ever get tired of sleeping?
I was on my way to his table to wake him up but girls suddenly surrounded him and started telling to my face that they'll do anything to protect 'their' Rukawa-kun from the hands of an evil and wretched witch like me.
I was about to start a fight with them again when sensei walked in so I just gave them my scariest and most intimidating glare. Good thing it worked.
[Of course! You've been glaring at anybody since you reached Shohoku…practice makes perfect, ne? ]
Well, the afternoon classes were just like the first one…boring! And it didn't help that boys still continued giving me love letters & girls kept on throwing anything at me & I mean anything…name it, I have it thrown at me. What made it more enjoyable were bakemono's loud snores and heavy breaths at my back.
MY school life just can't get any better, ne?
So, we're dismissed. I was SO relieved because I can now leave Hell a.k.a our classroom. I suddenly remembered ojii-san telling me to meet him at the gym. I was so excited to tell him about everything that happened to me that I was practically skipping on my way there.
When I reached the place, I was surprised to see Haruko-chan, Mito-kun, and the rest on the front door. I asked them what they were doing there.
"Anou, we're here to watch the team practice and cheer for Sakuragi-kun. How about you?"
I told them that I'm also there to watch the team and to meet with my ojii-san. Then, they just stared at me…or rather at my back.
What?! Did I say something weird?
But before I could ask them, something really hard had already hit me on my back.
What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment?!
Whoever did this to me deserves something painful that only I could give!
(Unfortunately, the first one she saw was Rukawa and so…)
" NANI?!?! I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO HELL, BAKEMONO!!!"
RUKAWA
So, do'ahou ononoko decided to grace us with her presence eh?
" OI! BAKA KITSUNE!!! WILL YOU CONCENTRATE ON THE GAME??!!"
Che! Do'ahou…
And as usual, I said my famous one-liner. Of course, with that remark, he goes wild. It never fails to infuriate the hell out of him.
I'm so good…
" TEME KITSUNE…"
He threw the ball, aiming on my face. Me, having quick reflexes, quickly avoided the ball and changed its direction. [yeah, yeah]
Wrong move.
I watched as it went pass me and straight to the back of the do'ahou ononoko.
Ow! But, it's her fault. She shouldn't be standing there in the first place.
Oh well! Past is past. I'll just continue practicing. Hmmm…looks like someone's in trouble.
ACK! WHAT's HAPPENI--- (cannot continue because he's already near the gates of heaven…ALLELUIA!).
[At least he'll go to heaven…bless his soul.]
SAKURAGI
NANI?!?! That baka kitsune's staring at Haruko-san!
How dare him…not concentrating on the game and looking at her…
I called out to him to get his attention but he just replied to me with that monotonous and annoying voice of his.
Kuso…how dare him insult the tensai?! I'll show you who's the do'ahou…
I threw the ball really hard at him expecting either (a). he catches the ball and throw it back at me or (b). the ball to actually hit him but, I didn't expect for him to chose (c). none of the above.
He avoided the ball and slightly touched it which sent the ball to another direction. Before I knew it, the ball went straight to the back of a girl with long, black hair.
Uh-oh…!
" BAKA SAKURAGI!!!!" That voice. That only means…
" ITAI!!!!!! Gori…"
He continued punching my head until we heard the girl I hit the ball with shout something.
Are?? Her voice seems familiar…souka!
" GAMBATTE AYAMI-CHAN! TENSAI SAKURAGI WILL CHEER FOR YOUR SUCCESS!! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
HARUKO
I was surprised to see Ayami-chan walking towards us. I didn't know she also has a 'thing' for basketball.
Maybe she's here to watch Sakuragi-kun or…Rukawa-kun…
Nah! She hates him so much. She made it clear the first time we met although I don't know why. Other than her disliking Rukawa-kun, I think we have the same taste and she's really nice.
She asked us what we're doing there and I told her that we're watching the team practice. I asked her why she's here and she told me the same thing and she's also here to talk to her ojii-san.
OJII-SAN?! Does that mean…
Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to ask her because suddenly, I saw a ball speeding and aiming at her back. And after a few seconds…BOG!
Ouch! THAT must really hurt.
I hurried over to help her stand up but I suddenly stopped when I saw the expression on her face.
UH- OH! I don't like this expression of hers. It reminds me of the earlier incident!
" Ayami-chan! It's not Rukawa- kun's fault! It's…SOMEBODY STOP HER!!!"
AKAGI
" BAKA SAKURAGI!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
I gave him my ever-famous Gori punch on the head which added another bump on his already bumpy head.
This guy never learns. Maybe after all the punches I've given him, he already lost the few remaining brain cells left inside that big head of his.
Come to think of it…does he even have a brain?
I watched as the ball went straight to the back of a girl who was standing on the doorway. The sound of the ball hitting her vibrated throughout the gym and everyone stopped what they were doing.
This court seems to be prone to accidents and petty fights…che!
I started walking towards her to check if she's okay but suddenly, the girl launched herself to the first person she saw and that was Rukawa. She started doing things to him that even I was not capable of like kickboxing and judo. I was actually glad I didn't get near her. I even thanked Kami-sama.
Then I realized she's killing one of my players. If he dies, we'll gonna lose and I won't let that happen!
" OI! STOP THAT GIRL AT ONCE!!! SAKURAGI! MITSUI! MIYAGI! KOGURE! AYAKO! ALL OF YOU! HELP YOUR TEAMATE!!!!"
Upon hearing my voice, almost all of them tried to stop her just in time. Whew!
" OI! SAKURAGI!! STOP CHEERING, YOU BAKA!!!!"
KOGURE
I can't believe a girl's competent of doing those things. Akagi asked us to stop her but I still have many dreams I would like to accomplish.
Demo…if Rukawa dies, we might not have a chance at the Inter-high.
Hmm…here goes nothing!
MIYAGI
SUGOI!!!! I know its very unlady-like but still…SUGOI!!
" Itee……Aya-chan! Hai! Hai! I'll stop her! Gomen nasai Aya-chan…Itee!!!"
Aya-chan sure is moody today. Maybe she has her…period. Just like that girl.
Meanwhile, Sakuragi was just jumping and cheering for the girl.
BAKA!
MITSUI
SUGOI!!!!!
I can't believe someone's beating the hell out of that Rukawa other than Sakuragi. And what's more surprising is that she's a GIRL!
Hah! That should teach that asshole.
Akagi's asking my help? Hah! No way! I will not deny the fact that I'm actually enjoying the site of Rukawa being beaten.
Demo…if Anzai-sensei sees this, he might suspend all of us.
Hmmm…there are still other times. You're still lucky, Rukawa. But, I could just hire this girl next time and I'll make sure it's not in this court.
Yeah…that's it! And then --
" Itee…Ayako! What was that for?! Itee…Hai! Hai! I'll help!"
What's happening to these girls?! Will it be a full moon tonight? Jeez…
AYAKO
It all happened so fast. We were having our usual practice while Sakuragi and Rukawa were doing their daily routine of fighting when Sakuragi suddenly hit this girl with the ball and this girl suddenly attacked Rukawa.
That's really unexpected. I thought she's gonna cry like any normal girl then when she realizes that it was Rukawa who hit her, she'll suddenly go and announce to the whole world that she's been hit by her 'PRECIOUS' Rukawa-kun and girls would actually envy her.
Pathetic…
So, it wasn't such a mystery why everyone was just looking at her with admiration plastered their faces. They're all probably admiring her uniqueness, including me
But honestly, I think she's gone too far…
She's already killing Rukawa.
When Akagi-sempai asked us to stop her, I was waiting for the others to go first but they were just staring at her. I slapped all of them with my ever-famous paper fan to snap them back to reality. Then, they all went and pacified her…except for Sakuragi. He just stood there and cheered for the girl.
BAKA…
~ After 15 minutes of violence and non-stop action ~
ALL THOSE INSIDE THE GYM (everyone was sprawled on the floor)
" Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa! Haa!"
ANZAI-sensei
ARE? What happened here?
I thought they'd just have a practice game…?
Why is everybody sprawled on the floor? Why is Rukawa-kun paler than usual? Why is Sakuragi-kun looking like he lost the lottery? Why is Ayami-chan, Ayako-san, & Haruko-san over there? Why does everybody look tired, even the benchwarmers?
" Anou, Akagi-kun…"
ALL (except for Ayami and Rukawa)
(trying their best to stand up) "Konnichiwa, Anzai-sensei…"
AYAMI
(also trying to stand up) " Ojii-san…" (collapsed)
RUKAWA
(staring into space) Am I in heaven?
ANZAI-sensei
" Will you please explain everything to me?"
(Because all of them were too tired to speak, they took turns in telling Anzai-sensei what happened)
~ After 20 minutes of explaining [because there were a lot of pauses] ~
ANZAI-sensei
"HO! HO! HO! HO! HO!"
ALL
"…………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………"
SAKURAGI
This old man is really weird…
We all got bruised from that fight and all he can do is laugh? Che!
" Oi! Oyaji. There's nothing funny here! You should suspend that baka kitsune for causing trouble here in the court. Am I right? NE? NE?"
I started pulling at the old man's body fats and before I knew it, Gori already punched me on the head.
" BAKA! Sensei…gomen!".
Gori sure easily gets mad…che!
Hmmm…where's Haruko-san?
I began searching and I did not like what I saw…DAMN RUKAWA!
AYAMI (finally regaining her consciousness)
I looked at everybody and they all seem tired. I realized immediately that it's my fault…AGAIN.
Why do I always cause trouble to people around me? And why is it that everytime I cause trouble, Bakemono is just around the corner? Maybe he's the jinx in my life here…
I searched for Bakemono and found him still lying on the floor breathing heavily while Haruko-chan was busy giving him something to drink. This other pretty girl was busily tending to his wounds.
Then I saw Sakuragi-kun looking at the two with eyes full of jealousy, envy, and hatred.
This is all my fault…Ayami no baka!
" Ojii-san…gomen. It's my fault. I started this mess. I should be the one punished. You don't have to suspend anyone on this team. Gomen nasai…minna-san."
Everybody looked at me. I hate being looked at so I just bowed down.
How can I be so stupid? I'm an embarrassment to ojii-san…
RUKAWA
" She didn't do anything. It's my fault. Gomen…"
Everybody looked at me, with a surprised look on his or her face. Even I was surprised. Here I was, defending the do'ahou ononoko who almost made me hear angels singing up above.
Maybe this is not the real me. Maybe there's another soul taking over my body…
After all, I almost lost it a while ago.
I don't know but maybe, I just can't stand a girl looking sorry for herself.
Anzai-sensei just looked at me, smiled, and laughed.
I think he's gone crazy…just like THAT girl.
I turned and saw her staring at me. As for me, I just looked away.
ANZAI-sensei
" HO! HO! HO!"
Rukawa-kun likes my Ayami-chan…
" HO! HO! HO!" [Wow! You think fast Anzai-sensei!]
HARUKO
Did I hear everything right? Rukawa-kun actually spoke in behalf of Ayami-chan?
What's happening here?!
Does this mean that Rukawa-kun…Ayami-chan…it can't be possible! They hate each other! They can't stand being on the same room!
NO! THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!
I'm just being delirious…I think I'm going home now (with that, she left).
AKAGI, AYAKO, KOGURE, MITSUI, MIYAGI, SAKURAGI GUNDAN, REST OF THE TEAM
HUH?!?!
That girl nearly killed him and he's still defending her?!
And Rukawa spoke!
As in spoke using other words than do'ahou…and it's in full sentences!
Life sure is full of surprises…
SAKURAGI
DAMN RUKAWA! He's actually blaming himself just so he would steal the limelight from the tensai.
KUSO……
" Oi! Oyaji. It's not Ayami-chan's or baka kitsune's fault. Anou…it's actually my fault. Baka kitsune just wants you
to notice him. You should blame me."
There! Now we're even…
" NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
ALL
"…………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………"
ANZAI-sensei
" HO! HO! HO! That's enough. I'm not blaming anybody, ne?"
I saw that all of them sighed out of relief and nodded.
Now, for MY PLAN…
" Akagi-kun, could you please gather everyone here?" Akagi-kun quickly called out for the rest of his team. " Minna-san, as I can see, you've already met my granddaughter though not in a formal way. So, I would like to introduce her to all of you. Ayami-chan?"
She stood up and walked over to me. " This is Sakimoto Ayami. And from now on, she will be the ASSISTANT MANAGER of this team."
I saw their jaws drop. " HO! HO! HO! HO! HO! "
My plan is really something then…
" HO! HO! HO! HO! HO!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~_^ MY! MY!
~ There……I already added the other characters here! So, too much violence since the third chapter eh? I know……It's just so fun to write stories wherein the characters would fight. Now, I know you're thinking whatever happened to the 'sentimental' Ayami. Well……she's out there somewhere. If you read her profile on the first chapter, you'll know why she always goes berserk. Don't worry. I'll try my best to remove violence in my next chapters. Anyway, my only question today is……Will the team accept Anzai-sensei's outrageous plan? What are his reasons for letting do'ahou ononoko be the assistant manager? Would you like me to explain why my fanfic's title? WHAT?! You want me to tell you? Are you sure you want to know? Well……WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (LOL!)
~ Love it? Hate it? Let me know!
PLs. Review! Ja! ^_^
~ P.S. I might not upload the next chapters immediately because my finals is already near and I still have to write a bunch terms paper & review for the upcoming exams………ARIGATOU! ^_^
