Chapter 2: Star Struck~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Let me find and know someone who would like me just as I am... Someone who would take me seriously… Someone… Someone… Hanamichi thought and hoped as he began to doze off.
Fifteen minutes passed, Hanamichi was awakened by the constant ringing of the doorbell. He stood up and hurriedly went down to open the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Hanamichi called out as he opened the door.
"What took you so long?" It was Youhei.
"What are you doing here? I thought you and the guys were going to Danny's?" Hanamichi asked as he let Youhei in.
"They decided to hit the Pachinko parlor instead. I declined, so I decided to pay you a visit and to see how you were doing." Youhei smiled as he checked Hanamichi's CD rack.
"Well, I'm fine. Just a bit unnerved with that Smiley." Hanamichi said as he went to the kitchen and fished out two bottles of Gatorade and handed one to Youhei.
"You still don't see it don't you?"
"See what?"
"Nothing… You are so blinded by Haruko…" Youhei muttered under his breath the last sentence. He then noticed how silent Hanamichi was and asked,
"Hey, is something bothering you?"
Hanamichi remained silent as he stared into open space. Youhei waved a hand in front of his face, snapping him back to reality.
"Earth to Hanamichi? Did you hear what I said? Hey man, is something bothering you?" Youhei asked again.
"It's just that… I mean… What is it with me that the past 50 girls dumped me for? Why can't they take me seriously?"
"Hanamichi, just forget them. People come and go in our life. And besides, it's their loss not yours. You just have to open your eyes and your mind. There just might be some other people out there vying for your attention and you don't seem to notice."
"I hope your right Youhei. I hope your right…" Hanamichi said as he walked towards the window and sat by the sill. "I just wish that I could find that someone who would like me just as I am... Someone who would take me seriously." Hanamichi said. It was a mere repetition of what he had thought of when he looked at Haruko's photo.
"Don't worry Hanamichi, you'll meet that person when the time comes. You just have to be a little more patient and…you have to open your eyes And just like the old saying goes, "when the door closes on you, a window opens up"."
"What do you mean?"
"Hanamichi, just open your eyes. You'll realize what I mean when the time comes." Youhei said as he began to reach for the remote control and clicked open the TV.
Hanamichi weighed on his mind what Youhei had said. He then thought of it again, what he was hoping for, when all of a sudden, something caught Hanamichi's eye.
"Ei Youhei! Come here look!"
"What is it?"
"A meteor shower!!! I'm going to make a wish!!!"
Let me find and know someone who would like me just as I am... Someone who would take me seriously… Someone…
Just as Hanamichi thought of it deep within his heart and soul, a star shining brightly in the darkening sky glowed even brighter as it began to twinkle madly. It was weird. And so is what is about to happen at Shohoku high…
All of the students have already gone and only those who are left were the ones who were at the Shohoku gym who were still conversing about Hanamichi.
The star that was shining brightly than all of the stars was accompanied by a meteor shower and right then and there at the Shohoku gym, a miracle was about to happen.
"What are you implying, that we don a skirt and pompoms so that Hanamichi would realize that we're serious about him?" Rukawa remarked.
"Not exactly since that would make Hanamichi stay away from you guys." Ayako said.
"And besides, the fact that you guys in skirts would definitely make Hanamichi freak out and you guys might as well ruin your images and reputation as basketball players." Koshino said.
Just then, a weird thing happened. Rukawa and Sendoh suddenly froze while Mitsui started yapping away. Koshino, Miyagi and Ayako noticed their sudden silence as their eyes widened with the scene that slowly began to unfold right in front of their eyes.
"Hey, what are you guys staring…" Mitsui asked, as he too was lost for words when his eyes landed on the two aces. The two of them went a whiter shade of pale.
The bodies of the two aces that was a good meter away from each other, started to glow and in an instant, a bright flash of light blinded all of them. When the four looked back, their eyes widened, their mouths hanged open rather unattractively as they began to mimic a goldfish.
Right in front of them, were two women, one of whom was tall and had a long hair that reached past her shoulders while the other who was slightly taller than the other had the same long hair, only it reached up to her waist.
"What just happened?" Sendoh asked as he unconsciously began to hike up his pants.
"What are you guys staring at?" Rukawa stared at the four onlookers.
When the four got their senses back, Ayako immediately asked,
"Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah why?" Sendoh answered.
"Do you… feel anything weird about yourselves? I mean…" Miyagi asked his eyes were wide as saucers.
"Well…" Sendoh began as he looked to where Rukawa was. He was then too, surprised to see a tall girl with shoulder length hair. He then continued,
"Where did Rukawa go?" Sendoh asked as he looked at the girl from head to toe.
"Have you gone blind? I'm standing right here…" Rukawa said as he turned to look at Sendoh who was sporting the long locks. "Where did that porcupine go?" He then asked them.
The four of them just pointed their fingers at Sendoh.
"I think you need to go and see an eye doctor miss, coz I'm standing right here." Sendoh said, momentarily forgetting about his irritation about Rukawa.
"Miss? Who do you think you're calling 'miss', MISS?" Rukawa replied.
"Umm, guys… I think it's better if you go check the mirror." Ayako said. He definitely knew that the two might end up pulling out each other's hair.
"What do you mean by that?" Sendoh said as he glared at the girl form of Rukawa who in return, returned the glare with the same coldness.
"Ayako, I think it's better if we do this." Mitsui said as he approached the two and placed his hands on their chest and lightly grasped their boobs.
"Hey, wouldn't Miyagi get jealous?" Sendoh remarked as he felt Mitsui's hand on his chest.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Mitsui sweat dropped and sighed.
"Don't you guys feel anything protruding from your chests? Oww!!!" Mitsui winced as Miyagi gave him a flying kick. "Ryochin, what did you do that for?"
"Let go of their chests right this instant! Unless you want to loose more teeth Hisashi Mitsui!!!" Miyagi hissed.
Right when Miyagi mentioned about the chest part, Rukawa looked down and saw what Mitsui was holding on to. He then realized that he really felt that something WAS protruding.
"Oh my god." Was all Rukawa was able to say as his hands began to wander all over his body. Mitsui then let go of his oddly firm grip as he smiled silly to himself, which of course earned him another flying kick from Miyagi.
"What… Where is… How did this happen?" Rukawa blurted out as he took a handful of his hair. "Why is my hair long? What happened to me."
"Rukawa? Is that really you?" Sendoh asked.
Rukawa then looked at Sendoh and looked at him from head to toe.
"Oh my god. Please, if this is a dream, wake me up now…" Rukawa muttered.
"Sendoh, I think you better do the same thing Rukawa is doing right now." Koshino said as soon as he regained his self.
"Huh?" Sendoh then touched his gravity defying hair, only to find it flat and spread over his shoulders. "What happened to my hair?!" Sendoh's eyes went wide as he too began his own little tour of his new body. Then all of a sudden,
"Hey," Sendoh chirped happily making all of them look at him.
"What?" Koshino asked
"I'm a girl now. That's cool." Sendoh finished with a bright smile plastered on his face. All of them keeled to the floor except for Rukawa who had major sweat drops.
"And what's so cool about it Akira Sendoh?!" Koshino demanded.
"Do you think it's the effect of the loss of the gravity defying hairstyle?" Ayako whispered to Miyagi.
"Beats me."
"It's definitely the hair."
"No Mitsui, it's not the hair. And as for you Koshino, just look at it this way, they said that Hanamichi was a homophobic, 100% straight, pure raw masculinity flowing in his veins. So there's very little chance that he might change his mind about having a boyfriend."
"And what's being a girl got to do with all this stuff?" Koshino looked at Sendoh with sheer disbelief.
"Ayako did mention a thing about the girls chasing Hanamichi…" Sendoh smiled. Rukawa's eyes then suddenly lit up as Sendoh's smile turned into a challenge.
"I did?" Ayako sweat dropped.
"Yeah, you did." Mitsui said.
"So Rukawa, are you in?" Sendoh challenged.
"If it means giving up my masculinity for a while to win Hanamichi, then let it be. I'm definitely in." Rukawa answered with much certainty.
"Whoa, wait a minute you two. Just how on earth would you go on chasing Hanamichi. I mean, just look at the two of you! You guys, I mean, girls, look like tomboys and Hanamichi might certainly pass on both of you." Koshino remarked as he pointed out on there present state.
"I hate to admit it but I think he's right." Ayako approved.
"What should we do then?" Sendoh asked.
"What you girls need is clothes and proper lessons." Miyagi said as he accentuated the word 'girl' to make his point clear.
"And where could we find someone who would be able to help us?"
"Umm, I think my cousin could help." Mitsui said. All of them looked at him.
"Your cousin? Do you mean Luna?" Miyagi asked.
"Yup! She's the one." Mitsui agreed.
"And how could this cousin of yours help us?" Rukawa asked.
"Trust him Rukawa, Luna is a big help and the most kindest of all Mitsui's relatives that I have met." Miyagi said.
"Well if that's the case, let's go and meet her! We can't just sit here and wait can we?" Sendoh said enthusiastically.
"You don't seem to be bothered by the sudden sex change." Ayako commented.
"Trust me Ayako-san, he's enjoying it." Koshino remarked sarcastically.
"He's just a pervert. A pervert that grew a remarkably large head." Rukawa remarked.
"I'm not a pervert!" Sendoh emphasized. The five of them gave him un-approving and disbelieving looks as they stared at him.
"C'mon! Is that so hard to believe?!"
"It is!!!" All of them replied as Sendoh cringed.
"Well given a situation like this when you're given a chance to be very close to the only one person you want to be with, what would you guys do?" Sendoh replied.
"The porcupine does have a point. If I were in his situation and Miyagi was in Hanamichi's shoes, I'd definitely take the opportunity." Mitsui said making Miyagi blush as Sendoh scowled at the nickname.
"Mitsui, are you sure that this cousin of yours can help us?" Rukawa asked, his sleepy nature chucked out of the door.
"Of course! She's the best!"
"If that's the case we better not waste time." Rukawa said as he headed for the locker room to get changed and take a shower. Miyagi and Mitsui followed suit as they told Koshino, Sendoh and Ayako to wait for them. A few minutes later, the three came out carrying their bags and all fresh from their shower.
"Shall we get going?" Sendoh said as Mitsui and Miyagi turned off the lights and bolted the doors of the gym.
It was going to be a long night…
