Here it goes.

Chapter three: The ballerina

In front of him is a dark-haired, green-eyed girl. She is rosy skinned and her lips are red. She's not tall, but her legs are long. Yet, it couldn't be, could it? Could it?!

The girl had the same reaction on her face. It couldn't be, could it? Their staring game was distracted when Kaede felt something soft rub in his face. Phoenix stared up at the boy. That made the girl's eyes larger than Jupiter. She looks like she saw a ghost. Then, her eyes moist.

"Cedric?" Her voice, shaky and unsure, echoed at the almost empty hallway. She is already crying. She bit her lip as she looked at the boy in front of her expectantly. However, Kaede just stared at her. The cat jumped off from his arms. Then, he started running downstairs.

Sakura stared at the wall in front of her. Her tears continued to fall. Was that Vincent a while ago, returning Phoenix? But, then, who was the boy found dead near the river eight years ago? Does this mean that Vincent also survived the plane crash eight years ago? But, how? His father killed him! She collapsed to the floor. She sat on the cold floor. She hugged her knees and cried.

~+~+~+~

He was far from the main building but he didn't stop. He had to run away. He stopped only when he reached the end of the field. There, he almost collapsed. Was that Audrey? Bridgett died! Who was the girl found dead near the river? That's impossible.

Hours passed. The day is to end. There are less birds chirping and the sky is starting to be red. Soon, it became dark. Yet, a single fox is still sitting at the edge of the field sitting, hugging his knees. He is still thinking on how that happened. His head is already aching with all the thinking and more thinking.

He almost killed himself thinking how the both of them survived when he heard a voice in his back. "OI! KITSUNE!" The voice startled him.

His eyes are moist. Bullshit. The guys shouldn't see him in this condition. Or else.or else, he will rather commit suicide. He didn't look back at them. He tried to stop himself from crying. He stood up to go to their room.

"OI! KITSUNE! Where are you going?" Sakuragi said as he noticed the fox stand up from the soft grass. Kaede didn't stop, he went to the room's direction. How he wishes that the Earth will just open him and eat him. But, of course, it won't. This is the umpteenth time that he had wished that, but it never does.

"KITSUNE!" He shouted. Hanamichi is now furious. What's the fox's problem. Kaede can feel a lot of eyes bore in his back. Shit, all the guys are staring hard at him. "What do you want?" He asked, trying hard to keep his voice in monotone. His voice shook all over, though.

"Rukawa?" Akira's voice was full of worry. Kaede shut his eyes very hard. Tears started flowing again. This is impossible. When did his voice start disobeying him? He had to get out of the trouble he had been through. He ran to their room.

He sat at his bed. He sweat so feverishly. His heart thumped like it wanted to get out of his scar-filled chest. He lied down his bed and cried to sleep.

~+~+~+~+~

The gang stared at each other. Silence hung in the cold summer night. Everybody felt that something is wrong. Akira broke the silence. "Did he just cry?" His question was soon answered. "No, he didn't. He laughed, duh." Kenji's voice was full of sarcasm. The red-headed monkey's sarcastic, annoying, ear-piercing laughter filled the air. "NYAHAHAHAHA! That is the best show of the century! Somebody should've record that in a record tape! NYAHAHAHAHA!" The laughter was cut when a gorilla punch filled the air. When it faded, a couple of boisterous laughter filled the air.

~+~+~+~+~

There was a miracle that happened this dinner. Repent now, people! Confess your sins now! The world is ending! For, the noisy, loud, deafening, earsplitting, active, lively, vigorous, energetic, brisk, and high-leveled adrenaline people are all quiet that dinner! Would you believe it?

The Shohoku triad didn't speak. All that was heard are their loud chomping. Nobunaga didn't snicker or whatever he has and can do. Everybody should be happy, right? Unfortunately, wrong. There is an awkward aura surrounding the dinner table. Nobody spoke.

To everyone's pleasure, the dinner then ended. Everybody went to their respective rooms.

(Scene in R1)

Hanamichi snored. Miyagi drools. Nobunaga kicked his blanket off his bed. Akagi is taking a shower. No noise, no bickering, all with the peace.

(Scene in R3)

For Mitsui, Koshino and Uozumi's relief, Hikowichi already slept and didn't blabber that night. They all went to sleep peacefully. Especially Kogure. He can now sleep peacefully without the worry of someone being killed when he wakes up the following morning.

(Scene in R4)

No sharing of stories that night. They are now sharing their ideas of why the Ice prince was like that.

(Scene in R5)

As usual. No one spoke.

~+~+~+~+~

(A/N: For this part, these ' ' signs mean thoughts, or mental telepathy.)

'Can't you hear me? Go! This place is dangerous!'

'.'

'I said go! Go! GO!'

'.'

'Can you hear me?'

'Yes.'

'Go!'

"Hey, kid, any problem?" The nurse bent over the boy. The boy acted like he is fixing his shoe laces. Then, he did a sharp turn. It took quiet a while before the nurse realized what happened.

"He escaped!" The nurse shouted all her lungs. Guards came from every direction. They all ran after the boy. Their footsteps can be compared to horse kicks, considering how the buildings almost shook. The boy did a turn and went to the elevator.

Escape is the only thing in his mind. Disgust and angst are the only feelings he felt in his heart. His dad is such a braggart! How he wishes he can punch the old man square in the face right now.

But hell, no. He HAS to escape. His dad will kill him. Then, a question popped in his mind. Who was the one who sent that *thingy* to him? Whose voice was that? Whose voice was that who warned him to go?

He heard a "ding". It means that he already reached the last floor. He breathed in deeply. He knows that there are guards waiting outside. He bore a hole in the elevator's ceiling. Then, using his psychic powers, he pushed the button. As expected, there were cops.

He climbed the wall. He went to the second floor using the elevator's way. When he reached the second floor, he looked for an escape route. He jumped from the floor's window. Victory.

He ran as fast as he could. Then he stopped in the tracks that you can hear a 'screech'. He looked back to just before he entered the vast forest. He looked back to the white building that he had just escaped from. It was painted with white. It has bold black letters that said: English research center.

~+~+~+~+~

The room was dark. The lights are closed. The room is very cozy. But it wasn't silent. Three voices spoke to each other.

"Do you think?" Kenji asked Shin. Shin responded. "I don't really know. Akira's right. Hey, Akira, just make sure that he's asleep." Akira opened his bedside lamp. He went to the side of the room where Kaede is sleeping. Akira poked him. He didn't move.

"He's asleep." He affirmed. Kenji sighed as he also turned his bedside lamp, too. "What could be his problem?" He asked. Nobody answered.

They were all startled when a panting fox had just woke up. He was panting very hard, sweating real hard, and his eyes are as wide as the Jupiter. His hands are grasping his white blanket. He is even paler, if ever that is still possible.

Kenji quickly rushed outside the room to get a glass of water. Akira and Shim went to his place. "Rukawa-kun? Are you alright?" Akira asked as he tapped the younger boy on the back. However, the younger fox was still lost in his dream.

What the hell did that mean? It had been a whole year since he started to get away from that dream. It had already haunted him for 6 years. But, come to think of it, he still didn't forget it. For, look at how he reacted when he saw Bridgett in this camp. He reacted like a total fool.

He was clicked off from his reflection when he saw a hand being waved in front of him. He felt all the heat of his body go to his face when he realized that he actually spaced off when all the other team's aces are trying to calm him after his very dramatic entrance to their conversation. How very stupid.

He glared at Akira. He just stood up. He went to the comfort room. His four other seniors stare at each other. No one can really understand the fox.

Kaede stood before his reflection. He glared at the reflection. Stupid, you stupid! He shouted to it mentally. His eyes are moist. His reflection is doing the same. "Why do I have to meet her again?" He murmured softly. Unknown to him, his three other seniors outside are listening.

"What did he say?" Fujima asked, his mouth was soon muffled by the two other companions. "Shut up! You don't want him to hear us, do you? That is, of course, if you don't want to help him." Shin-ichi reminded. Fujima nodded.

"Why did you have to just appear suddenly after you disappear, Bridgett?" His voice is very small, yet, still heard outside by his seniors. He turned the faucet on and washed his face.

Sendoh was the one to pipe in now. "What?" He asked the other two. Fujima shrugged. Then, the water stopped. As sudden, the door opened.

Rukawa stared at them with a questioning look. Obviously, he demands an explanation on why the trio are in front of the CR when he was still using it. "Gomen, Rukawa. We were just worried, and." He turned to Sendoh. Sendoh blushed. "What?!" He asked with the obvious hiding of innocence. Fujima grinned. "Oh.so that's what the SCENT I smelled." Fujima grinned, obviously catching what Maki was trying to say.

Rukawa raised a brow. "You can freely use the toilet now, do aho." :The other two burst out laughing.

~+~+~+~+~

The breakfast is silent, just like the dinner last time. Well, put aside the shrieks of the out lookers looking at the gorgeous hunks. Everyone is still awkward after the unusual reaction of the ice prince.

However, the ice prince seemed to be oblivious to it all. He sat up from the dining table as soon as he finished a bowl of ramen. He stepped out of the room. Soon, much to the discomfort of the leaders of every team, the noise broke.

"You're really so stupid! You can't understand my glares, can you? I said give me the sauce!" Mitsui's voice rose first, Buena mano to the nearing bloody fight. "Why should I give it to you anyway? This sauce is MINE! I saw Aya-chan a while ago, and she was the one who prepared this sauce!" Miyagi stood up suddenly, causing the chair he was sitting on, to bang suddenly against the floor. He hugged the bowl of sauce. "OI! RYO-CHIN! Share some!" Hanamichi, sitting next to him, got up, too. He tried to grab the bowl from his seatmate.

Both struggled to get the sauce, while the other people from the basketball surrounded them. The four captains, however, remained to their seats while trying to control themselves from saying the worst things like ****, ********, ******* and *****. Oh, yeah, the last word does not apply since ***** means a female dog.

Then, something caught the four leader's attention. And this next scene is too horrifying. (A/N: Please, just scroll down to the next ~+~+~+~+~ signs if you oppose to hair-rising terror. Arigato gozaimas.)

For, the sauce that was the center of attraction of the other players was spilled to the captains of Shohoku and Ryonan. Everybody's face turned pale. Everybody backed away, put Sakuragi and Miyagi on the list. They all backed away until they reached the wall, all had the same expression on their faces. The stalkers? Well, they all went to follow the ice prince who went upstairs to change his pajamas to some clothes.

They all watched in horror as the two gorillas slowly raised their hands, looking at their two limbs, too surprised to talk. Even Fujima and Maki already got up from their respective seats. They backed away from the two. This means great trouble. Even the birds inside the camp flew. The cat, Phoenix, miraculously woke up. Even Rukawa felt the electricity run up his spine.

The two gorillas stood up and headed towards the two trouble makers. All the other people ran to the opposite sides. The two trouble makers just shook violently. Soon, all kind of ear-splitting noises can be heard from downstairs that everyone stopped from what they were doing.

A lot of gorgeous hunks came out of the now racked out dining room. They made a great stampede. They all rushed to their respective rooms, leaving the two trouble makers to their living hell.

The poor troublemakers were having the time of their life. (A/N: Talk about sarcasm.)

~+~+~+~+~

The training is very quiet. No one tried to do anything silly after the encounter of the two with the still-fuming gorillas. Hanamichi is not present in the training, and so is Miyagi. They are now suffering from severe body aches. The doctor in the clinic were very thankful that they didn't have internal bleeding.

Shohoku is having a very peaceful practice. No one dared speak. Shoyo is already done, they are now resting on the benches. Kainan is having another practice match with Ryonan.

The practice was unusually silent. First and foremost, the two captains are still burning their fuses out. Second, the two, or maybe three sometimes (Put Rukawa on the list), had no one to mock.

Mitsui is dying on daggers sent to him by Akagi and neither Miyagi and Hanamichi are nowhere. He had no reason to mock Rukawa as of now.

Rukawa is concentrating well on the game. He had no clue and is pretty clueless on why the hell his camp mates are silent.

Nobunaga is, like Mitsui, dying on daggers sent to him by his captains, Maki, telling him not to do anything stupid. Aside from that, Uozumi is still boiling with rage with what happened a while ago.

Practice continues.

~+~+~+~+~

Night time of the third day at the camp. The gang is outside, silently admiring the stars. Not because they are afraid of the two captains. In fact, they had already cooled down. They are just there to relax. No one is outside, much to their relief. Then, a group of girls dressed in ballerina costumes passed their way.

All of the girls giggled when Mitsui winked at them. All of them had a slight blush. Their living nightmare just had to be added because a certain porcupine smiled and winked at them. Soon, they all transformed to ripe tomatoes because of their tormentors. They just had to flirt to them all at the same time.

Rukawa got out of the insane group and rolled his eyes. He walked away from them. But, he felt deep eyes looking at him intensely. He stared back. And their eyes met for the second time that week.

~+~+~+~+~OWARI~+~+~+~+~

A/N: What do you think? I know I offended Sendoh fans here. Sorry. I haven't even posted the fanfic when my friend, who loves Sendoh so much, almost killed the living daylights out of me already. I don't want history repeating itself again. Gomenasai, Sendoh fans! Please spare me! I still have a lot of things to accomplish in this world! So, back to the story, I don't know when I would be able to update it again. Gomen. Have to study for exams. Please review if possible.
