Crusty's note: When you don't have any idea to do anything for the day, try this… take a pen and one sheet of paper (or in this 21st century, you can turn on your PC or your laptop), then start to write (or type) anything… just… anything…
Readers: Then what?
Crusty: Then there are two possibilities… you're gonna end up making a masterpiece that just might win Pulitzer, and the second one, you're just gonna end up with rubbish just like this fic, he-he-he…
Part Five
Shohoku High
Mitsui: "Hmm… what shall I have for dinner today? Burger? Curry? Steak?"
Anzai-sensei: "Mitsui…"
Mitsui: "Sensei!!" (bows)
Anzai-sensei: "Where's the other?"
Mitsui: "I don't know and like I care anyway, he-he… as long I can be with you, nothing matters, sensei…" (love stare)
Anzai-sensei: "Mitsui…" (sparkles)
Crusty's comment: We all know that Mitsui is a big fan of Anzai-sensei, so whatever he said doesn't mean anything except an expression of fanatic feeling. But can anyone guess why Anzai-sensei was sparkling? (Option A: He actually loves Mitsui eeww!!; Option B: He just sparkles, that's all. Sometimes thing like that happens.)
Mitsui: "Anzai-sensei, why don't we go out for dinner? We rarely spend our time together."
Anzai-sensei: "Okay… your treat?"
Mitsui: "Sure! Sure! Anything you want!"
------------------
Restaurant
Mitsui: "You can order anything you want, sensei!"
Anzai-sensei: "Ehm…" (stares at the menu) "I want anything with meat."
Mitsui: "Waiter, give him all the meat you have."
Waiter: "But I'm too skinny, sir."
Anzai-sensei: "It's okay, I'm not a picky person." (winks) (Crusty: ??)
Mitsui: "Are you some kind of moron or something?" (puts his gangster face) "I mean the food! The food!" (shakes the waiter by his collar)
Waiter: "Oh, sorry, sir… I'll bring the food right away."
Mitsui: "What an airhead…" (mutters)
Anzai-sensei: "You don't have to be that rude, Mitsui… I think that boy is nice."
Mitsui: "Nice is not enough, sensei. You have to have brain…" (Crusty: Okay, Einstein…)
Sakuragi: "Hey, Micchi! What are you doing here?" (approaches Mitsui and Anzai-sensei)
Mitsui: "Sakuragi? What are you doing here? Sorry to tell you, but you don't suit this expensive place."
Anzai-sensei: "Ho-ho-ho… Hello, Sakuragi."
Sakuragi: "Hi, Colonel…" (grins)
Mitsui: "Stop calling him like that! Why are you here, anyway?"
Sakuragi: "When I was walking home, some weird guy said he wants to treat me. I agreed and here we are!"
Mitsui: "Which weird guy?"
Sakuragi: "That one." (points a good looking boy sitting not so far from them)
Mitsui: "So you actually agreed to some stranger who asked you out?"
Anzai-sensei: "Never talk to strangers Sakuragi."
Sakuragi: "You guys were strangers too back then. If you don't start any conversation, you won't get any friend!"
Mitsui: "Uh, well, you got point there…" (blushes)
Sakuragi: "Ah, the waiter already brought the food! Bye guys, I got some expensive meals to chew!" (leaves)
Anzai-sensei: "Where's my food??"
Mitsui: "WAITER!!"

Shohoku basketball hall
Rukawa: "What are you dong here?"
Person: "Waiting for my friend."
Rukawa: "But you interrupt my personal practice, Person." (Crusty: Actually Rukawa was mentioning the person's name, but I have to censor it for secrecy sake.)
Person: "I'm just sitting here, how come I interrupt your practice?"
Rukawa: "You're sitting on my foot."
Person: "Oh, sorry!" (stands)
Rukawa: (starts doing some dribbling here and there)
Person: "Why are you practicing alone?"
Rukawa: "….."
Person: "Are you trying to defeat someone? Or are you trying to prove something?"
Rukawa: "….."
Person: "Why don't you answer me?"
Rukawa: (stops his dribbling) "You're just interrupting my practice. Leave."
Person: "No way! I'm also a student of this school. I have right to be here. And I made a promise with my friend to meet him here."
Rukawa: "….." (starts dribbling again)
Person: "Rukawa… do you know that I love you?"
Rukawa: "….."
Person: "No matter what I do, you never look at me."
Rukawa: "….."
Person: "Sometimes I feel so hopeless. But the thing happened last spring… makes me keep on trying…" (smiles) "Rukawa, do you still remember what happened that time?"
Rukawa: "…Yes."
Person: smiles "Well, I guess I should be going now. It's late and my friend wouldn't show up anyway. Bye!" (stands and leaves)
---------------------
Restaurant
Anzai-sensei: "I'm so full…"
Mitsui: "And I'm so broke…"
Anzai-sensei: "What's that?"
Mitsui: "Nothing! He-he…"
Anzai-sensei: "I have to meet my son at his apartment. Do you wanna come?"
Mitsui: "Wow! You're asking me to meet your family!? Okay! I'll go with you!!" (happy)
Anzai-sensei: "Could you pay for the cab?"
Mitsui: "Sure thing, sensei!" (Crusty: You have to have brain, Mitsui…)
-----------------
Anzai-sensei's son's apartment
Anzai-sensei: "Hi, Kazuhiko."
Kazuhiko: "Hi, dad. Who's he?" (points at Mitsui)
Anzai-sensei: "He's my favorite student."
Mitsui: "Sensei…" (sparkles)
Kazuhiko: "Hi, favorite student."
Mitsui: "The name is Mitsui Hisashi."
Kazuhiko: "Wait… I think I know you…" (thinks) "Ah! You're the handsome scar-face!"
Mitsui & Anzai-sensei: "What?"
Kazuhiko: "My friend is your fan! She likes you a lot. She fell for you because she always meets you at school. She's also a student from Shohoku High, you know. She calls you handsome scar-face."
Mitsui: "She shouldn't mention the scar thing…"
Kazuhiko: "I'll call her to drop by. She'll be very happy to see you. Do you mind?"
Mitsui: "Not at all! (narcissist mode on)
Anzai-sensei: "Kazuhiko, can I sleep here tonight?"
Kazuhiko: "Huh? Uh, sure…Are you fighting with mom again?"
Anzai-sensei: (nods)
Mitsui: "Poor you, sensei…"

At the street
Sakuragi: "Hey, is that you Kitsune?"
Rukawa: "Do aho?"
Sakuragi: "What are you doing here?"
Rukawa: "My bike is broken so I have to walk home."
Sakuragi: "Ha-ha-ha!!!"
Rukawa: "Who's that boy behind you?"
Sakuragi: "What boy?" (looks behind him) "Argh!! Momiji!? Why are you following me?"
Momiji: "I'm not. I just happen to walk behind you."
Sakuragi: "Oh, okay then. Bye, Kitsune. Bye, Momiji." (walks again)
Momiji: (follows Sakuragi again)
Rukawa: sighs "Do aho…"
After some steps…
Person: "Rukawa! Wow, I didn't expect we'd meet again today!"
Rukawa: "You're not home yet?"
Person: "I was, but my friend suddenly called me and asked me to drop by. Do you wanna go with me?"
Rukawa: "No."
Person: "But I'm just a helpless little girl. Who knows what might happen if I go alone?"
Rukawa: sighs "Okay…"
--------------
Sakuragi: "I'm very full…" (happy)
Momiji: "Me too, but I'm not broke because I'm very rich."
Sakuragi: "Momiji!? Why are you following me?"
Momiji: "I'm not. I just happen to walk behind you."
Sakuragi: "Wonder where I've heard that before…" (thinks) "Ah, it doesn't matter. Listen, Momiji, if you wanna walk with me, fine. You don't have to follow me like that."
Momiji: "Sakuragi, I wanna ask you… if you happen to know a big secret, what would you do?"
Sakuragi: "I don't know."
Momiji: sighs "Thanks… bye…" (leaves Sakuragi)
Sakuragi: "??"
-------------------
When Momiji was walking with his head tilted down and feeling very depressed, his cell phone suddenly rang. (It wasn't ringing actually, the ring tone happens to be 'Driver's High' by L'Arc-en-Ciel – I really like this song!)
"Moshimoshi."
"Hi, Momiji!!"
"Who's this?"
"Me! Crusty!"
"Uh... I don't really remember…"
"At the café! Remember?"
"Oh! You! I remember you, but I don't remember your name. Your name is such a lame name."
Crusty muttered inside, "I was wondering maybe you'd wanna go out with me tomorrow."
"Sure thing. Where to?"
"I don't know. Let's think about it tomorrow, what do you say?"
"Okay…"
"See you tomorrow at the same café 11 am! Bye!"
"Bye."
