Disclaimer:
I own nothing, but the plot.
The characters aren't mine,
Neither do the supplies, just my mind
Heaven knows what I've got!
So please don't arrest,
Poor little ol' me.
The devil knows I'm bored!
So, please, LET ME BE!
(To write this story
for everybody!!!)
Author's Note: Hi! It's my first time writing a Slam Dunk fic. Drop me a line and tell me what you think of my story! (And please be gentle with criticisms!)
Introduction: This story is about Yoko, Sakuragi and Haruko. I made my mind who would end up with Sakuragi, but let's see if I get to change my decision about it. Yohei, Sakuragi Gundam, Rukawa ::drool:: (sumimasen!), Shohoku regular cast/team, Oda, Hikoichi, and Sendoh also star here.
This story takes place right after the match with Takezono. Please pretend Yoko didn't go with Oda to the beach with that lock.
Summary: The 50th girl who dumped him changed her choice. Would he accept her, or would he turn her away?
Last thing: Names are in Japanese format, last then first, okay? And please forgive me, I don't know Yoko's last name, nor the Takezono coach! Someone please tell me! Onegai!!!!!!!! So for this chapter, while most have their first and last names, her last name is going to be made up.
VERY LAST THING: {ba dump} = beating heart. AND, I am working on the title!
VERY, VERY LAST THING: I revised this chapter, slightly. But, it is quite important, as I added a few stuff.
Let's start!
Hear My Heart
Chapter One: Good-bye, Takezono
THUMP!
'Oh no!' Shinatori Yoko thought from the sidelines as her friend, Sakuragi Hanamichi, hit the wall. 'I hope he isn't hurt.' Her vision was no longer at her Oda, but at her former suitor.
No one made a sound as he shook his head, most likely to erase the pain.
And then, the sound of clapping was heard. The crowd turned to the direction of the sound. The Takezono coach was clapping.
For what? Everybody wondered, confused.
Then suddenly, another set of claps joined the first one. Akagi Haruko understood.
A smile formed on Yoko's lips as she understood and started to clap herself. 'That was a great try, Sakuragi Hanamichi.'
Then everybody else followed. With tears forming in her eyes and flowing down her face, she thought again, 'Sakuragi. What a guy!' Visions of him from earlier started to creep in her mind. Getting rebounds, chasing the ball, blocking and guarding Oda... and having fun. 'He's really having fun. Just like Oda-kun used to.'
Her subconscious butted in, 'He's having more fun than Oda-kun did. Now that I just noticed, he's rather cute when he's concentrated and determined to make something happen.'
And the conscious mind agreed, then doubled back. 'This can't be! I can't believe I think he's cute!'' [Author butts in: Here we go, denial galore.]
Shohoku won the game, without her further observation because she thought about one red head. The self-proclaimed genius, Sakuragi Hanamichi. And when she nearly got knocked over by a friend, she clenched a fist and felt the need to do something, foolish, at the moment.
~*~ Outside~*~
Anzai-sensei and Inoue-sensei talked after the game about how well each other played, and thanking each other for giving them a lesson to be learned.
"Our first year point guard, Oda, has the driving passion to win games and make it to the nationals." Inoue-sensei told the wise coach. "However, none of my players, not even Oda- kun has the spirit Sakuragi Hanamichi has... You're very lucky to have him on your team." He finished then thought, 'And more training would prove that abilities beyond imagination lie in that boy. I can feel it. Anzai-sensei, you truly are lucky.'
Team Shohoku just came out with Sakuragi all hyped up about being the savior of the game. Haruko was leading him on by saying he did absolutely amazing.
~Little Insert~
Just outside the Takezono locker rooms, Yoko was congratulating Oda, but looking terribly distracted.
The Takezono captain said, "Gather!"
And the team did.
"We played well out there. I hope everybody learned from this practice game, it was great playing Shohoku. Now let's all go and congratualte them outside, once more." With that, they all went out.
~*~Back Outside~*~
Yoko brightened up as she saw Sakuragi rejoicing. "Sakuragi- kun!" She ran up to him, causing Oda to look up from his sullen state (an after effect of losing) and frown at his girlfriend and his rival.
"Yoko-san." Sakuragi immediately reddened.
"You were great out there! I'm not kidding!" She went on excitedly. {Ba dump}
"Ai ai ai ai! That wasn't my best performance!" {Ba dump}
"It's all the same to me. Even if it wasn't your best, you were really good." {Ba dump, ba dump}
He scratched his head, "Well, thank you, Yoko-san. I can't blame you for thinking that way... I am gifted after all."
She shook her head, laughing slightly. "You're a funny guy, Sakuragi-kun! Who knows? Maybe you are."
"What are you saying, Yoko?" Oda butted in, looking pretty pissed, and jealous.
"Oh! Oda-kun!" She retreated back.
"I didn't know you were friends." He glared at Sakuragi who didn't back down and looked defiant.
"Well, we all did go to the same junior high, and yes we are friends, ne, Sakuragi-kun?" Yoko looked at the other guy, not really knowing why Oda was angry at her friend.
"Uh, yes. Of course we are." He answered, shocked.
"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!" The Sakuragi Gundan chorused.
Then, the infamous head butt.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four bodies lay on the ground.
"Excuse my friends." Sakuragi told the other two and everybody else who had to witness the spectacle. He had to shut them up before they make some stupid comment.
"It's not a problem. Don't worry about it." Yoko waved it off.
Then came Akagi's booming voice. "Oi! Sakuragi, you better hurry up or we'll leave you!"
He was almost going to protest when her voice interrupted, "Well, you better go, Sakuragi-kun! Hope we meet again someday!" Then she turned red slightly.
Sakuragi shook his head. No way. She couldn't have blushed just now. Still, he grinned and said, "Of course. I'm pretty sure Oda wouldn't want to miss a rematch with this tensai. I'll see you around, Yoko-san!" He ran after the team, who all for once didn't make some nasty comments to him.
"Sou da ne, Sakuragi-kun!" She called back, waving at the startled guy.
~*~
See him around? Oda punched the wall. How could his girlfriend do that to him? Sakuragi Hanamichi was his freaking rival! Surely she knew that!
But then again, their relationship had been strange since the time he had struck her with his hand and ran away. Come to think of it, she acted as if it never happened the next day. And he never did say sorry. Could it be because of that?
No... it wasn't that. He knew something happened on that court that day. That's why she argued back. That's why she told him not to be jealous because she was going out with him, not Sakuragi.
But she didn't say that she loved him... nor did she not say that she didn't like Sakuragi. And he was sure they weren't friends until the time they saw each other again while she waited for him before the game!
Nevertheless, she was moving to Shohoku. How could she do that so easily?
Maybe because your fans decided to turn against her the moment you yelled at her! His brain shouted. And now it's too late... she's going to fall for that loser, and Oda knew it in his gut.
~*~
"Was it right to make such a fast decision like that?" Yoko asked herself. "Leave Takezono, and transfer to Shohoku?" She folded her Takezono uniform that she was to donate to someone else.
It was her instinct at the moment she saw Oda in his rage mode. The one he was in when he hit her, made her cry and when he didn't consider her feelings.
Sometimes, she really felt he loved basketball more than her. And it was drifting them apart. And it broke their relationship the moment he yelled, "WELL YOU ARE ALWAYS HOLDING ME BACK FROM MY DREAMS!!"
Didn't he realize she supported him all the way? There really was no reason for her to study at Takezono except him. And there were those girls who followed his every beck and call, who insulted her. And he made no move to defend her. And she was his girlfriend.
"Well, you're not anymore." Yoko reminded herself.
It is better this way... she decided this. Shohoku was really close to her house. Going there from now on would be a big help on her allowance, and sleeping habits. No more waking up at 5 in the morning to catch two trains to Takezono, and no more high tuition fee.
Then, she recalled something, and smiled. "Looks like Sakuragi-kun and I will see a lot of each other from now onward." She was happy, knowing she had a friend, or even five in Shohoku. After all, whoever is friends with Sakuragi, is friends with his Gundan!
And on that happy note, she slept peacefully that night, looking forward for the coming Monday.
Sayonara, Takezono...
~*~
Sakuragi thought back to the afternoon. He rarely gets pensive such as this. But Yoko... Shinatori Yoko confused him today. She was so carefree and bright when she talked to him without that Oda. She was, content. He couldn't find another word to describe her behavior. Then Oda came and she tensed. He noticed. Youhei did too... No matter how loony their outward appearances are, they are deep thinkers. All of the Sakuragi Gundan are.
Did something happen back there?
Nevertheless, he felt oddly complete when she told him she'd see him around.
Could it be that he's falling for her again and his mind is playing tricks on him again?
No... his heart was broken once. He won't have it broken again. Not by her for a second time.
Because... when he fell for Shinatori Yoko, he fell too deep. Too deep that Spring didn't come to him until Akagi Haruko entered his life.
BUT.... But... what he didn't know is that he never fully got over her... an evidence that he never did is when he picked a fight with Oda before the game. Another evidence would be that he became lifeless and didn't look for another girl so quickly. Haruko came to him. That didn't count.
And he didn't know he will never fully get over Shinatori Yoko.
Not after she had become more beautiful... not after she said she was friends with him... not after she said he could be gifted.
And not after his heart was given one last hope... the hope that maybe his mind is not playing tricks on him.
~*~
Youhei was thinking along the same lines as Sakuragi.
He just chuckled after coming up with nothing but, "Looks like Sakuragi is still in love with Yoko." Then, he stopped. He recalled getting a vibe that Yoko was nervous while talking to his friend. He stopped and thought back.
"Looks like there's a change of heart. Things are going to get interesting..." And while envisioning events that may happen, he fell asleep.
~*~
Haruko was doubtful. 'How come Sakuragi-kun was staring off into space on the way back home? And who was that girl?'
She recalled the walk and the ride. She complimented Rukawa on being great on the court, and as usual, he shrugged it off, said it was nothing. Sakuragi didn't even try to fish for a compliment from her, nor get jealous of Rukawa. At least, that's what she overheard from Fujii and Matsui.
~*~Flashback, Haruko's POV~*~
"Sakuragi-kun?" I asked the red head sitting beside me. "Are you alright?" He was staring of into space again, and I was complimenting on his great attempts in saving the ball from going out of bounds. And that he played really well.
He started laughing and said, "Of course the tensai is alright! I am just resting that's all!"
I just smiled at him, letting the subject go, and just started praising his performances when I noticed he was talking quietly with Youhei and both had pensive looks on their faces. Looking around, I saw that my brother and the team are resting, and the Sakuragi Gundam talking in hushed voices. WHAT was going on? The team, she could understand. But, this isn't the Sakuragi and Sakuragi Gundam she knew!
I turned to my friends, Matsui-chan and Fujii-chan, to comment on this. They also were talking in hushed tones that I couldn't hear what they were saying. I knew they were talking about me. Why else would they be whispering if they weren't? Sometimes I wonder if they really are my friends sometimes. I closed my eyes, as if sleeping and concentrated on trying to hear what they are saying. After all, shutting one of the senses can heighten another. And I want to make my hearing sense stronger.
~*~ End of Haruko's POV ~*~
"I heard from Ookusu-kun that the girl Sakuragi-kun was talking to is the girlfriend of his junior high rival." Matsui said.
"Kind of like Rukawa-kun?" Fujii asked, in understanding.
"Yes." She lowered her voice that even Haruko couldn't hear with her 'heightened hearing sense.' "She's the 50th girl who rejected him. And, Takamiya-kun said that it seemed to him that Sakuragi-kun didn't fully get over her."
"That's too bad! No wonder he wasn't giving Haruko his 1000 percent attention!"
"That and not fishing for compliments, or getting jealous when she paid Rukawa a compliment!"
They both looked at Haruko and talked in undistinguishable soft voices.
"I noticed something, though." Fujii told Matsui.
"What?"
"Haruko is bothered by this, and Yoko-san blushed when she bid Sakuragi-kun farewell."
Matsui tried to recall the event. "Now that you mention it, you're right. She was slightly nervous and she blushed."
"You don't think...?" Fujii trailed off.
"Maybe. Maybe." Matsui replied.
Ding, dong! "Shohoku stop! Thank you for riding with us today."
And all of them got off the subway.
~*~End Flashback~*~
Oddly, she felt disturbed by the girl, talking to Sakuragi- kun. Oddly, she felt bothered when Sakuragi-kun wasn't paying attention to her. [AN comment: More like, she was bothered when he wasn't hanging onto her every word!] Oddly, she felt jealous.
She shook that thought out of her head. She wasn't interested with Sakuragi Hanamichi. He is just her friend.
He is just a friend.
THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED BEFORE!!!!! Here's the teaser for Chapter 2; Sunday Morning:
Little did she know someone is doing their morning jog too! [Author Butts In: don't wanna tell who, exactly! Though, you'd probably guess right.]
She probably made the mistake of just looking on for a minute.
[Won't tell who is "she"!]
STAY TUNED FOR CHAPTER 2!!! Coming up soon!!!
