Rukawa brought Yukio to is house to help clean her wound. During this time, Rukawa

kept on thinking the connection between Yukio and Fujima. Somehow, he just could not come

up with a logic explanation. He stole a glance on Yukio and looked away quickly to avoid

Yukio looking at him. Unfortunately, Yukio already noticed Rukawa stealing a glance of her. So, she asked:
"Rukawa, what's wrong with me? Is my hair untidy?"

Rukawa was shocked but answered coolly:

"Nothing...just want to make sure you are following close behind... My house is just

around the corner...Are you still ok?" asked Rukawa while pushing Yukio who is sitting on his

bike.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Said Yukio.

Rukawa bought Yukio into his house. She was a bit surprised with the cleanliness of a

guy's house.
'This is the first time I've been to a guy's house who is so clean,' thought Yukio.

"Sit anywhere you want while I get the first-aid kit..." said Rukawa as he makes his way

upstairs to his room. Yukio pulled herself to sit on the sofa. As she waited, she caught a glimpse

of a photograph beside the sofa she is sitting. She took it and was surprised.

It was a picture taken when Rukawa and the Shohoku Team was playing a match with

Shoyo. The picture shows Rukawa in a one-on-one position with Fujima. A feeling of a strong

rivalry can be felt from seeing the picture. Yukio was paying so much attention on the picture

that she didn't notice Rukawa beside her. Yukio screamed in fright that caused her to drop the

picture. Luckily, Rukawa was quick enough to retrieve it before it fell on the floor.

"S..Sorry...I didn't mean to..." said Yukio.
"It's ok...let me help you with that wound..." said Rukawa after he put the picture at its

original place. Then, Rukawa opened the box and started cleaning Yukio's wound. Once in a

while, Yukio would wince in pain and Rukawa would clean the wound more lightly.

After a few minutes, the wound was cleaned properly and bandaged nicely. Rukawa took

the kit upstairs and took a glass of water for Yukio.
"Thanks..." said Yukio with a smile. Rukawa sat down and both of them looked at the

floor not knowing what to do. Then, Rukawa looked at Yukio and asked,
"Yukio, do you know Fujima?"
"Yeah...Why did you ask?" asked Yukio back.
Rukawa did not answer but just nodded his head. Just then, Rukawa once more asked

Yukio,
"Who is he to you?'
Yukio blushed slightly when she heard the question. She paused for a moment before answering.

"He is my boyfriend..." said Yukio without looking at Rukawa.

"Oh... It's kind of late... let me send you home..." said Rukawa suddenly and he stood up

and took Yukio's bag and went to take his bike. Yukio looked guilty but she quickly walked towards the door after taking a last look at Rukawa's house.

After returning from Yukio's house, Rukawa took out his shoes and his basketball and cycled to

the basketball court. The day was getting dark but he didn't mind as there was light at the court.

Once he reached there, he started shooting from every part of the box. He stepped on the

three- pointer and shot a three-point that got in. The ball started rolling towards the gate and

was caught by a slightly big-sized guy. He was wearing the jersey of a school across town,

Kobe High. He looked slightly taller than Rukawa and looked muscular. He took the ball up and

smiled at Rukawa but got a scowl in return. He threw the ball towards Rukawa and he shot a

beautiful that got in.
Then, applause was heard coming from the guy.
"Good shooting... Care to play one-on-one with me?" Asked the guy. He got no answer.

As he was about to go to the other side of the court, Rukawa got his attention and threw the ball at him. He showed up three fingers to the guy.

"First to get three points win..." said Rukawa as he shot a three-point that got in.

The guy smiled and took off his jersey and walked towards Rukawa with his ball. The guy

started the game and started attacking trying his best to pass Rukawa. However, all is in vain as

Rukawa marked him tightly. The guy walked around and suddenly rushed in. Rukawa was

slightly taken by surprise but managed to balance himself to defend. The guy shoots but it hit the

ring. Rukawa jumped for the rebound and walked out for his turn. Instantly, Rukawa grasped

the ball and threw it over the guy's head. Rukawa ran in, caught the ball and lay-up. The first

point of the game for Rukawa. The guy looked at him at gave a thumbs-up to Rukawa. Rukawa

showed no expression and checked the ball. Soon, he kept on attacking but nothing came out

of it. Then, he swooped in out of nowhere and got past the guy. Holding the ball tightly, he slams

the ball into the ring with a one-handed dunk. 2-0 to Rukawa.
Rukawa started the game and once more kept on attacking. Suddenly, a hand swiped the

ball from Rukawa and the guy quickly took it. He walked towards Rukawa who was ready for

him. The guy smiled and shoots a three- point from the corner. Rukawa looked at it and was

shocked. The ball went in. 3-2 to the guy. He won by a single point.

"Nice try, man... You can really fight," said the guy with a smile. He holds a hand to

Rukawa for him to shake but he refused.
Then, from outside, he saw something that surprised him. Yukio was running towards the

court.
"Big brother!" shouted Yukio.
"...big brother?" whispered Rukawa eyes opened wide as he looked at both of them..
