CHAPTER 3: It's The Thought That Counts

~*~*~*~*~

Somewhere in Shohoku, Rukawa's residence…

Rukawa was playing M2M on his radio while he was getting ready.

Rukawa was busy getting dressed in his Armani suit. Good thing his narcoleptic side wasn't attacking him. Strange isn't it? Could be, this sly fox just had a good four-hour sleep with no disturbance whatsoever. But in any case, he dreamed about his beloved Hanamichi. By the time he woke up, he felt so serene and light headed. Just the thought of the redhead made him smile, made his blood rush up his cheeks. What more if he was with him physically. For him, the redhead was a sight to behold. The smile, the way he moves and that oh so BEAUTIFUL body to die for. The body that could have made the Greeks bow and pay tribute to. The body which Michelangelo could have based his sculpture. The body… that body which made him drool and want the redhead even more. He wanted him. He needed him. But most of all, he loved him with all his heart. (A/N: Kyaaahhh!!! Did I just wrote that?!! @__@ Oh my god I think I'm gonna faint!)

Rukawa paused as he was in the middle of buttoning his blue satin shirt. Something weighed heavily in his mind, or rather, SOMEONE. It was the spiky haired, smiley-faced player of Ryonan, AKIRA SENDOH. He was a problem.

He wanted to punch him and pull Hanamichi away from him when he offered his hand for a simple handshake after the practice game. He wanted to put the lights off his head when he smiled the mega-watt smile at Hanamichi. But all in all he hated Sendoh. He wanted to strangle him to death. (A/N: To all Sendoh fans out there, *bows* forgive me. Don't worry; Sendoh will have his own POV later on.)

Rukawa walked over to his bed and sat down as he remembered yesterday when Sendoh wanted to have a word with him.

~*FLASHBACK*~

Rukawa had stayed behind after practice. It was already nine o' clock in the evening when he decided to call it a night. He headed for the locker room and took a quick shower, after which, he did a final inspection of the locks of the gym and the locker room. He was already in front of the school gates when a familiar, tall, spiky-haired man flashed his mega-watt smile.

"Yo!" Sendoh said as he waved a hand.

"…." Rukawa just glared at the unexpected visitor. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

"Are you alone? Do you have other appointments?"

"…." Rukawa still glared at him but this time he raised one fine brow. "What do you care? And what's this all about?"

"Okay, I'll take that as a 'yes' and a 'no'."  Sendoh sighed. "Do you mind if I a word with you?" he smiled. "Man! This is harder than I thought. Hikoichi was right! I wont be able to extract at least ten words in a sentence from this block of ice. I might end up talking."

"…." Rukawa was practically boring through Sendoh's head; "I don't have time for people like you." He thought as he turned around to leave.

"Wait! This is about Hanamichi, that is, if you give a damn." With those words he knew he hit the jackpot because Rukawa stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to give Sendoh one of his death stare.

"So, you DO give a damn." He smirked at Rukawa's reaction and then continued, "The Park is near here right? Let's go there and talk." He said as he motioned Rukawa to lead the way.

They went to one of the few deserted areas of the park, which was near the court.

"What's this all about?"  Rukawa said as he eyed Sendoh who was walking about the basketball court while he dribbled the ball.

"Well, as I said before, it's about Hanamichi." He said as he turned around to look at Rukawa who was looking at him as if he was some sort of dangerous person. "What do you think about him?" he said as he shot the ball on his hand aiming for a three-point shot.

"What do you care?" Rukawa crossed his arms in front of his chest as he watched Sendoh who's three-pointer made a goal.

"Well, as you can see, I want to know whether or not you're interested in him." Sendoh's lips were graced with a smile as he again turned around to look at Rukawa who was now throwing daggers at him.

"Stay away from him Sendoh. He's mine."

"Well, you can't say that just yet. You haven't even gone out with him or talk to him in such a warm manner. So to speak." Sendoh was now grinning from ear to ear as those words slip out of his mouth.

"We'll see about that. We'll see who will win Hanamichi."

Sendoh was silent after what Rukawa said. He was counting his fingers as remembered what Rukawa just said and then finally, "Whoa! I finally got to extract ten words in a row from you! But in any case I wont loose. This is a challenge right? I accept. We'll see to it tomorrow at Kainan's victory ball."

"…We'll see…" Rukawa was silent at Sendoh's reply. "You're such an idiot if you think that Hanamichi will even give an answer to either of us on a sudden confession like will happen tomorrow night."

"Well, see you tomorrow night. And thanks for your time." He was already ready to leave when he remembered something, "Don't make me the center of your so called 'problem', I'm not the only one you should worry about."

Rukawa's heart skipped a beat when he heard Sendoh's last sentence. "'I'm not the only one you should worry about'?"

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" Rukawa was already getting a bit nervous with what Sendoh said and he just hoped that what he concluded wasn't true.

"Well, I also have a problem and it's not jus you. There are others rather than the two of us who has feelings toward Hana-kun."

"Who's that and don't call Hanamichi 'Hana-kun'." Rukawa's fears were half proven to be true.

Sendoh just smiled and said "I'm not too sure but there's one in Kainan which probably be Shinichi Maki, and also from Shoyo. But I'm not too sure who but I guess its Fujima Kenji." Sendoh's eyes narrowed at the thought. It was okay for him if it was just the walking block of ice was his rival. But then again, he can't do anything about it. Hanamichi is such a sexy kid and cute too. Anyone with a good stock of common sense will be able to notice it.

Rukawa was rooted to the spot on where he was standing. To go with it, he almost fainted dead from the shocking news he just heard.

"Oh…my…." He just can't believe it. But what can he do? Hanamichi is a rare find, and not to mention a rare person indeed. He was beautiful, sexy and cute, not to mention he was totally opposite him. He had fire as fuel in his everyday life.

"Yeah believe it. Well, I better go. We'll just see what'll happen tomorrow. Don't worry, I think those guy don't even have the guts to walk up to him and say something stupid, ne? Ja!" With that, Sendoh left while he patted Rukawa's shoulder.

Rukawa on the other hand, stayed behind to ponder what he just heard.

"Indeed, well, I guess I have to make my own move before its too late." He smirked. "Nobody else will get you my do'aho. No one else, you're mine and mine alone, not even that perverted Sendoh or those others will have you.

~* END OF FLASHBACK *~

Rukawa smiled to himself and stood up. He went in front of the mirror to check his appearance. He buttoned the last few then tucked it in his pants. He left two or three buttons open that showed his collarbone. After which he took a bottle of Armani Mania from his cabinet and sprayed one or twice on his pulse points. He then returned it inside his cabinet then took the black sulk coat, which was hung neatly on the chair. He slid his right arm in the right sleeve and the left arm in the other. He then gave his coat a little tug here and a brush of the hand there. After which he combed the silky strands of his hair with his fingers and looked up at himself sideways through the mirror. He looked gorgeous.

He then picked up the phone to call a taxi. He was definitely ready to leave and wait for the arrival of his beloved redhead at Kainan's Victory Ball.

District of Ryonan, Sendoh's residence...

Sendoh was buttoning the sleeve of his Prada suit. He was humming a tune from M2M's album Shade's of Purple, Pretty Boy, as he finished dressing up. His thought was filled with no other than of the sexy redhead and he was thinking of how he's going to get a time alone with him. (A/N: Now talk about being mushy here.)  He added the few final touches to make him look so stunningly haunting. He was wearing a red shirt underneath a black wool coat. He looked like a rock star. (A/N: Okay there! Sendoh fans forgive me but I cant think of anything else =p)

He stood in front of the mirror and straightened some creases off his sleeve.

"Kaede Rukawa, I wont loose this game. I wont loose him to you without a fight. Not even to a huge block of ice like you." He then smiled to himself and left.
