Chapter 5: DREAM ON!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hanamichi Sakuragi."

And the two speechless men raised their hands and pointed towards the beautiful tanned back of the woman who just passed by them.

The four of them looked toward the direction they were pointing. It was pointing towards the woman who smiled at them.

"Don't make jokes like that." Said Maki.

"But senpai, were not joking. That tall and ultimately gorgeous woman who just passed by you guys IS Hanamichi Sakuragi!" Said Hikoichi who now got back his voice.

"Yeah! Believe us! It's true!" said Koshino who now, just can't tear his gaze away from Hanamichi.

The four of them were now speechless. They turned their heads towards the figure that was animatedly talking with Ayako and Kogure together with Ryota.

"Oh my God!" said Fujima.

"I can't believe it…" said Maki.

"What did he do to himself? He looks so…" even Sendoh was now lost for words.

"…." Rukawa's jaw literally dropped to the ground. "He looks like a goddess!"

He suddenly got the urge to walk up to Hanamichi and tell him that he was the most gorgeous creature to grace the district of Kanagawa and kiss him for all that he was worth, but all in all, his feet were rooted to the ground.

"Ayako, you really outdid yourself this time. I better congratulate you later."

The four aces of each school were mesmerized by Hanamichi's beauty and grace in this situation. All of them were speechless and didn't make a move.

"You're MINE Hanamichi Sakuragi. You are going to be mine. Mine." The four aces thought to themselves as they devised a plan of their own to be alone with Hanamichi. The four thought of ways of how to seduce the fiery redhead to be theirs, of how they would be able to flirt with him. (A/N: I think I had enough caffeine. This is going nowhere! XD)

Maki and Sendoh talked to their teammates and asked them not to tell anyone else about what they just saw. Sendoh had almost no problem of talking his teammates into it. Maki on the other hand had no problem at all. Kiyota had no intention of talking about it to anyone after what just happened to him. (A/N: Oh I'm so cruel! Nyahahahaha!!!)

Amongst the crowd, Hanamichi was able to refine his manners that almost none had barely able to recognize him.

"So, how did it go out there?" asked an amused Ayako.

"Kiyota just dropped dead." was all Hanamichi could say.

Ryota and Ayako couldn't help but giggle at what had happened to Kiyota and to Hanamichi's reaction. Hanamichi himself was surprised with their reaction. All he needed now was the reaction of his other teammates just to prove that he really looked that unbelievable.

Hanamichi felt all eyes on him. He noticed that some of them would stuff some Kleenex up their nose whenever he would, by chance, glance or smile at them. This was true particularly with Hanagata and Jin, whose jaws have practically dropped to the ground when he had passed by them earlier. Almost the entire population of Kainan's gym was drooling over the mysterious redheaded beauty. (A/N: Hanamichi looked like someone else here okay, in short he looked so gorgeous!!!! ^_^ that's why most of them wasn't able to recognize him. Only the wild monkey did ^o^)

Hanamichi's thoughts were quickly answered when Akagi and Mitsui approached them.

"Good Evening senpai! You look great!" exclaimed Ayako who was addressing Akagi.

"Thank you Ayako, so do you. You look stunning this evening." Commented Akagi.

"Well thank you senpai."

"God thing Sakuragi is late Akagi, or else, you might just receive one of his not so fabulous comments, 'hey Gori! You look great in a monkey suit! Fits you well! Nyahahaha!!!' said Mitsui while imitating Sakuragi which earned him a Gori punch.

"Owww! What did you that for?!"

A vein popped out of Akagi's head and punched Mitsui once again giving him a good set of freshly steaming bumps. Akagi turned to Ayako to ask Sakuragi's whereabouts when he noticed the tall, gorgeous looking woman standing beside Kogure. Akagi smiled at her and gave her a nod, then said to Kogure,

"Kiminobu, I didn't know you would be bringing an escort. Is this lovely lady a cousin of yours?"

Hanamichi blushed a little at Akagi's statement. Ayako, Ryota and Kogure couldn't believe that Akagi didn't even recognize and have even the slightest idea that the woman in front of him was in fact Hanamichi.

Mitsui leaned over to Ryota foe support for he was gawking at the mysterious redhead.

"Maa, maa Akagi, lovely is a understatement, you know that." Mitsui said which made Ryota, Kogure and Ayako's jaws drop in disbelief while Hanamichi just blushed harder.

"Boy, I can't believe this! Ayako did make me look very good but all the reactions I'm seeing are way over the edge!"

Akagi chuckled at Mitsui's statement and said,

"I guess you're right Mitsui." He then turned around to Ayako who now seems to be congratulating herself for a job well done.

"Ayako, as I said earlier, where's Sakuragi? What's happened to him? I thought he was supposed to be with you?"

"Yeah, he's supposed to be here by now." Said Mitsui who still had his eyes glued on Hanamichi.

"Senpai, do you still remember the deal I proposed to Rukawa and Sakuragi last Thursday? About the consequence that's suppose to test their flexibility at a certain situation?"

"Yeah so? Wait a minute…Ayako, are…are…are you saying that…that" Akagi looked at Hanamichi.

"Yo gori! What's up?!" Hanamichi said smiling as he tried to suppress laughter.

"That's Sakuragi?" Akagi finished in a tone of uncertainty and disbelief.

"Yes. So, what do you think?" Ayako asked.

"Oh my God. Tell me you kidding Ayako; please tell me your kidding…" said Mitsui imploringly. He was starting to get a nosebleed when he looked at Hanamichi again.

"No I'm not."

With that, Mitsui took one last look at Hanamichi before fainting into Ryota's arms.

"Whoa! Yo man! Wake up! Megane help me! He's damn heavy…" said Ryota who was having a hard time supporting Mitsui.

"Okay I got him." Kogure said as they carried him over to the nearest chair.

"So, Gori, what do you think? By the way, thanks for calling me lovely earlier." Said Hanamichi as he teased Akagi.

Akagi was speechless. Soon enough blood was dripping from his nose. Ayako on the other hand quickly grabbed some tissue and stuff it up Akagi's nose and bade him to sit down before he follows suit to Mitsui.

"Ayako where's that paper fan of yours?"

"Why senpai, what do you need it for?"

"I'm going to whack my self."

Hanamichi just approached him and brought out the paper fan Ayako lend him and whacked Gori himself. *Whack* *whack* Ayako was surprised in Hanamichi's action. She was about to scold him when he said something to Gori,

"Feeling better? Gori, this isn't a dream or anything else okay. This," Sakuragi said as he pointed to the gown and everything else, "IS the consequence Ayako talked about. I don't know what came on to her but I guess I would be able to live up to it from this night onwards by at least you staying awake and help me out. Got that?!" Sakuragi said.

Akagi was back to his senses. Good thing he didn't turn green or anything. And then, something good happen, something out of the blue,

"Well, if you put it that way, at least you're a good sport. You can count on me."

"Thanks captain."

Ayako and the others were surprised with what they just heard. Mitsui who had regained consciousness heard everything and said,

"Hey, Hana, count me in." he said with a smile. Hanamichi smiled and thanked him as well and then,

"Who on earth gave you permission to call me 'Hana'? Only Ayako is allowed to do that."

"Maa, maa Hanamichi, might as well give it a break, after all it is only for tonight." Kogure said. Good thing he was good at keeping things cool.

From afar, the four aces watched and stared at Hanamichi in amusement and awe. They were drooling over him. They could not have imagined or expected something like this from the redhead, that he could be so refined. Moving and behaving with lady-like manners — subtle yet dignified.

Shinichi Maki was the first one to tear his gaze away from the absolutely stunning sight. He went inside the gym to look for Jin so that he could set the music and get the party going. However, a different kind of mood was playing on his mind, so he asked Jin to play something soft and slow.

"Why soft and slow all of a sudden?" asked Jin with a quizzical looked etched on his pretty face. "I mean the night is still young." Jin said as he was being pushed towards the music booth.

"I know, I Was just setting a mood." Said Maki as his eyes, again fell on the redhead who was now talking gaily with Ayako and the rest of the Shohoku team members.

"Huh?" was Jin's reaction. Still puzzled by their captain's sudden 'mood' change when he noticed Maki staring intently at a certain individual amongst the crowd, "Is Maki staring at that redheaded girl?!" Somehow, Jin felt that he was in middle of something and at the same time a feeling of being defeated. Jin had developed a crush on the girl, now that he noticed Maki looking at her with some sort of determination I his eyes he decided to keep his feelings for the mystery girl at bay or for the best keep it to himself until the opportunity pops up in front of him. He then tapped Maki's shoulder and hesitantly asked: "Have fallen head-over-heels over that tall girl? As of now, I can sense that you're making a plan to corner her." He finished with a smirk.

"Ah…s…so you've noticed." An evident blush stained his bronze skin. "Well as a matter of fact, I'm indeed thinking of a way to get a moments time alone with him. Err… I mean her!" Maki winced as he mentally smacked himself for his carelessness.

"Him?! Did…did I just hear you right? It seems like you know something regarding the identity of the mysterious girl. C'mon tell me, I want to know." Jin said as he inched closer to Maki's side with a raised brow.

Maki suddenly felt like a bucket of ice-cold water was poured over his whole body. His hands went numb and cold and his feet were rooted to the ground as Jin was quickly making his way to his side.

"Umm...well...err…" Maki was already stammering. Inside his head, he was battling whether or not to spill it out and tell Jin that the redhead is that of his admired player from Shohoku or just make up something to cover-up his slip-of-the-tongue.

"C'mon, spill it out already," said Jin as he reached Maki's side and began to tug his sleeve none too gently. "It's not like we get a chance to get our paths crossed with a girl THAT gorgeous!" As he turned his head to get another glimpse at the magnificent looking redhead. Inside his mind, various thoughts were rummaging through his head. "Hmm... Could it be that this girl could be the loudmouth of Shohoku??? Nah! Impossible! This one is way too beautiful. And not to mention has perfectly toned body and nice long legs." He thought. His hand was blindly looking for the box of tissue, as he suddenly blushed so hard when the one he was mentally drooling about looked their way and flashed a killer smile and winked.

Blood found its way up and out of Jin and Maki's noses. Thank god for Jin had finally found the box of Kleenex that was sitting prettily on top of the table. On the other hand, the same situation was also being experienced by Shoyo's center, Toru Hanagata. He was observing every lovely detail of the mysterious girl. He was stuffing up tissues up his nose from time to time; this was evident from the number of bloodstained Kleenex inside the thrash bin beside him.

"Yo! What's up? Are you okay?" Asked Fujima with a slight concern in his voice.

"Oh its you. Yeah I'm fine. I'm just having a..."

"Hard time tearing your gaze off that redhead aren't you?!" Fujima cut him off with a slight mischievous hint on his voice.

"Ah...hehehe... So, you've noticed." Hanagata said as he looked at their captain who was also staring at the redhead. He noticed that Fujima was awfully quiet as his eyes were on the lovely lady. And if Hanagata's observations were correct, Fujima's eyes held some sort of glint and malice in it. He assumed that their captain had a liking to the redheaded girl. To add more to it, he felt that some way, Fuiima knew something about the mysterious girl.

"Hey, may I ask you something?" Hanagata said edging a bit closer to Fujima. "Do you know who that girl is?"

"Toru-kun, that gorgeous redhead is no other than our beloved Hanamichi Sakuragi."

Hanagata was dumbfounded by the information he received from Fujima. He felt various emotions and thoughts rummaging through his system. "That's Hanamichi? I can't believe it! What did he do to himself?" His jaw literally dropped to the ground.

Hanagata focused his eyes on Hanamichi and his mind started to run thoughts on what he would do once he and Fujima got their hands on the redhead.

"So Toru-kun," Fujima inched closer to his koi, "what do you think of our lovely redhead? Don't you think he looks HOT?"

"Hmm…" He replied almost purring.

Fujima grinned at the response and turned to look at Hanamichi who was still talking with his companions. He was thinking of ways on how to corner that redhead and take him home together with Hanagata. (A/N: I don't think I'm in senses. I seem to be loosing it! Kyaahhhh!!!)

On the other hand, Fujima and Maki weren't the only ones who were thinking on how to corner that irresistibly tempting 'aho, and Sendoh was one of them.

He was standing together with his other teammates thinking of almost the same thing as to what Fujima was thinking, only a few sanity higher. (A/N: *major sweatdrops* ~ Sigh ~ I'm the one whose going insane 'round here!) He was absentmindedly licking his dry lips from time-to-time; his eyes were travelling up and down the gorgeous frame of Hanamichi's body. Just seeing Hanamichi wearing that body-hugging dress was sending shivers down his spine not to mention the heat pooling in between his legs was making thing more harder for him. He was starting to think about nasty thoughts and plans on what he would do if ever he'd be able Hanamichi, furthermore, take him home. He was about to go to la-la land when he suddenly can't find himself to breathe properly, then he realized that there was tissue stuffed up his nose.

"What happened?" He asked innocently.

"Your nose just suddenly began to act like an open faucet." Koshino stated in an 'as a matter of fact' tone. "So, what are you planning to do? I don't suppose your just gonna stare at your beloved redhead all night long and let someone else sweep HER off her feet?"

Sendoh just stared at Koshino when he said those words to him. Koshino knew what he felt for Hanamichi ever since the first meeting. He helped him give pathetic lame excuses to their coach every time he had the pathetic urge to just have a 'glimpse' of his 'fireboy'. Although he knew what Koshino was talking about, he just flashed one of his mega-watt smiles at Koshino and started to tease him.

"Why Koshino, are YOU planning to sweep HER off her feet? Or do you want me to sweep YOU off your feet?"

Koshino's eyes narrowed dangerously and told him to 'knock it off' and just shrugged his head. "Sendoh, lets just hope that your pervertedness and Hentai nature help you."

Sendoh just laughed and returned his gaze at Hanamichi. He then felt a shiver ran down his spine, then noticed that Rukawa was throwing daggers at him, which obviously meant, I'LL KILL YOU if you come an inch near him! then just looked away. He smirked and said to himself, "Let the battle begin Rukawa. I definitely won't loose and definitely won give up, especially to a walking block of ice like YOU."

-----------

Rukawa looked away when he knew that the pervert got his silent message. He looked for a spot where he could watch over his beautiful 'aho. He found a spot near them but not too close for comfort to them. His cobalt blue eyes studied every sexy feature of the redhead starting from head to toe. Rukawa took note of every detail of Hanamichi's body, if only he had the power to strip someone naked using his eyes, he would have already have feasted on the glory of Hanamichi's body. His eyes continued their journey all over Hana's figure till his eyes fell on a part of Hanamichi's gown, especially on the slit that exposed Hanamichi's long well toned leg.

Hanamichi moved gracefully as feline and like as if an amateur geisha was performing a delicate and intricate dance step. His golden skin was shimmering as if he was made of gold itself. His honey-brown eyes were shone with a sensual burning smile that would make any guy melt with desire. Somehow, his eyes had a language of their own, as if it was taunting you to come closer. Rukawa, oh how Rukawa wanted to be near him! (A/N: *Tsk, Tsk* This is really starting to get out of hand. ~stuffs tissue up nose~)

Out of the blue, Rukawa walked up to the unsuspecting redhead. He seized him by the hand and dragged him as fast as he can. He whisked the redhead out and took him behind the gym. The redhead was about to make a comment when Rukawa pinned him to the wall and kissed him fully on the mouth. Rukawa took the opportunity to slide his tongue between Hanamichi's slightly parted lips. At first, Hanamichi was surprised by all the sudden events. He didn't move. He couldn't think properly. Rukawa only broke away from the tonsil-tearing kiss to draw in air in his oxygen-deprived lungs. Calmly drawing in deep breaths preparing for the next attack, Hanamichi opened his mouth to say something when Rukawa abruptly cut him off and said almost purring, "Don't think my do'aho, just feel." And with that, he dived for another brutal yet sensual kiss. When he heard a soft moan escaped from Hanamichi's throat. This signaled him that Hanamichi was enjoying it. He took the opportunity to slide his hand within the slit of Hanamichi's gown and ran his hand up Hanamichi's thigh. "My God! His skin is as smooth as silk! I wonder how would it feel to run my hands all over his body!" Rukawa thought. He then again heard another moan escape from Hana's throat. He then again broke away from their kiss to look at Hanamichi's flushed face. He continued to run his hands up and down those long limbs, loving the reaction and sound that his administrations produced. His hands aim was a bit higher when….

"Oi Rukawa! What are you doing there all alone?" Mitsui asked. He was holding two glasses of punch and handed one to Rukawa. Rukawa on the other hand was on the verge of strangling Mitsui for ruining his perfect imaginary plan or should I say, daydream, when Ryota walked up to them.

"Hey there! Great party isn't it?" Ryota remarked ignoring the additional deadly glare that Rukawa was throwing at the two eavesdroppers. Ryota was about to say something when they heard something about a certain Kainan player bravely walking up to the redhead. Their eyes shot up to look at the direction to where a familiar red-mane was chatting together with their team manageress. To their surprise, Maki was now talking to Hanamichi.

Blue's voice was heard by the other possible seme's and was cornered.

Sendoh: There you are! We've been looking all over for you. Blue!

Blue:

Fujima: Blue, may I have a word with you?

Maki: Hey! Let her collar go! *Peels Rukawa's hands off Blue's collar then drags her to the wall*

Blue: Will you please let me go! *Successfully frees herself away from Maki's grasps* Shut up! All of you! If anyone of you harms me or insults me in any way, I will let any of you touch Hana!!! Hear me!

Four aces:… *Stupefied at the thought*
