Chapter Two: How to get a girl in Five Days (Part II)
"Rukawa! Rukawa! L-O-V-E! Rukawa!" the deafening shouts of the Rukawa brigade filled the whole gym as a small group of people turned to watch the Shohoku Basketball Team practice.
"That's it?! Can't you ever shut-up! Don't you know that you're making the tensai loose his precious concentration!" Hanamichi fumed pointing accusingly to the three members of the Sakuragi brigade as his attempt to make another slam dunk failed.
Hearing the outburst, the practice momentarily stopped. The three girls, however, just lashed out their tongues. "You're just jealous!"
Mitsui snickered while Kogure just patted Hanamichi on the back.
"Don't worry, Hanamichi" he consoled. "you'll get it right, this time. Maybe you're just doing it too hard..."
"Don't worry about this idiot, Min-kun. He's just an angry that he can't make a successful attempt to impress Haruko, over there." Mistui said pointing to the benches where Haruko sits.
"Why you-?!"
"Doaho..."
"You Two! Teme?! Kitsune?!"
"Stop it!" Akagi growled and was about to give the three his famous gori punch when he stopped.
Hanamichi stared suspiciously.
Mitsui and Kogure stopped.
While Rukawa just shrugged it off and continued practicing.
"Ahem!" Akagi cleared his throat. "Well, go back to practice and Mitsui, Rukawa! You better not start a fight again!" he finished threateningly and walked off towards the others.
Hanamichi just stared again.
Mistui and Kogure gaped.
While Rukawa stopped...well...uhm and continued practicing again after a while.

Cupid smacked the back of Harold's head. "You idiot! Looked what you did!"
Harold raised his hands in defense and begged. "Forgive me master! I didn't know this could be that bad!"
"tHAT BAD?! Are you blind!" Cupid yelled angrily and this time pointed to the other side of the court.
"How about the other one?" he yelled motioning to a red Ayako simultaneously looking at a piece of paper and to Hanamichi with a suspicious Miyagi doing the same. "She thinks that Sakuragi is in love with her for heavens sake! What are we gonna do now, huh?!"
The figure of Harold cowered some more while Cupid continued. "It's a good thing that Sakuragi thinks he confessing his feelings for Akagi was just a dream! (it's due to hypnosis) or I'll have your head you head!" Cupid finished with a murderous expression.
"Don't worry master-"
"Don't worry-?! Don't worry-?!"
"I promise! I'll get that boy the love of his life! I promise!!!!!!" Harold cried loudly making more heads turn in their direction.
"What-?!" Cupid snapped which sent the curious bystanders looked away once more. Turning to Harold, he started calmly, "Okay...."
Harold beamed.
"You got three more chances to prove yourself or else...."
Harold face-vaulted but immediately nodded vigorously. "Hai."
"Okay now WHAT?!"
"wELL...."
Mission Three: a makeover attempt! (Thursday)
Initial Notes: If cards, chocolates, flowers and calls don't do the trick, use your charm to make her fall in love with you. However, if in doubt....then why not offer him a makeover!
"Hey you!" called out a male voice.
Hanamichi stopped and pointed to himself. "Eh? Me?"
"Yes you!" continued the man. "Are you in love?"
Hanamichi blushed.
"Are you looking for something to get the girl of your dreams?"
Hanamichi leaned closer.
Seeing this, the man continued. "If so, then why not use your charm.."
Hanamichi raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
"Girls always go for handsome boys, ne?" *nudge* *nudge*
Hanamichi just leaned further.
"So..." the man continued. "What are you waiting for?! Go in mister! and get the yourself a big make-over and it's for free too"
...and the man found himself with a big lump on his head. The redhead? Well, he stalked off muttering something about idiots thinking he's not handsome enough.
"uhm...ano...don't worry about it master....there are still some other ways to get him a girlfriend...hehehe" Harold offered.
Cupid just glared this time.
Final Notes: I repeat! The world is full of hot-tempered people... *shudder* So be very careful on who your dealing with - I wonder if the stylist we paid is alright though...
Mission Four: the weapon jealousy (Friday)
Initial Notes: If earlier tricks really don't work, well...uhm...maybe she's just in denial! Thus, a little bit of jealousy to get her all fessed up won't hurt. Now, how to find someone who will do the part...
"You want us to what-?!" an irritated Cupid shouted at the top of his lungs.
"shhh...master...be quiet." Harold hissed once he saw a few people becoming very curious.
"Are you crazy?" Cupid hissed back crossing his arms stubbornly. "I'm not doing it."
Harold sighed and decided to beg some more. "But it's the only way, master! Remember this is your last chance of ever getting back to normal."
Silence.
"Ne, master..."
Silence again.
and Then, "Fine" and with that a cute little Cupid dressed in pink flowers and holding a big lollipop (*gasp* that was long) went towards a group of girls sitting on a table with a fake smile.
Seeing the cute little dressed up Cupid (have I made my point clear? hehehe), the girls giggled excitedly and began to harass the poor boy.
"Say, what's your name little one?" asked on of the girls.
"Ohhhh...You're so cute! Wonder where's your parents." giggled another one.
"Maybe his lost but don't worry little one, we'll help you." supplied the last of the three.
Meanwhile, Harold chuckled as he saw the girls fussing over the now very very irritated Cupid while barely containing his temper. Deciding it was enough; he quickly got out from his hiding place and walked towards the girls.
"Little brother (what's the japanese word for it?)!" he called out stopping to mess poor little Cupid's hair. Cupid glared at him but did nothing else. Chuckling inwardly to himself, he turned towards the three girls who were looking at them curiously.
"Thank you for finding my brother here." he began.
The three girls just laughed and waved their hands dismissively. "Oh it was nothing really" "You're brother is so cute, it's no bother." "It's our pleasure really.."
Harold just chuckled again as he saw them fussing one more time at Cupid. 'Oh boy! I should have brought a camera...' he thought but stopped when he saw Cupid already about to explode. Before he can do anything, however...
"Stop it! And you! Aren't you supposed to start telling this girls already if they are Sakuragi fans!!!!" he yelled causing a momentary silence in the canteen.
Harold sweat dropped and slowly backed away when he saw the faces of the three girls turned suddenly dark.
Result? A figure of a man was suddenly found being chased by three girls with the letters Ru, Ka, Wa showing as their jackets were blown by the wind. Cupid? Ah erm...he's still at the canteen and being the cute little boy that he is got a free ice cream for the day!
Final Notes: Remember to not piss Cupid again and oh yeah, THE Rukawa Brigade is Hanamichi's enemy and thus, is dangerous....very dangerous...
