Episode 01: Painful Memories
It was early in the morning and a boy was blushing madly on the Osaka Elementary school porch. He was holding a brown cute teddy bear and he was cute too. He gasped when he saw a short brown haired with green eyed girl talking with other girls, walking towards the school. He blushed redder and gulped. She stopped in front of him and greeted him.
"Morning, Keade-kun!" She had a sweet smile and he boiled red. "Cute teedy bear you got there, Keade-kun!" He snapped and shrieked.
He started to struggle and pushed the teddy bear to her forcefully. "This ... is... is... for you..." He shuttered.
She looked down at the teddy bear with a question look and held on it. She looked up at him, "For me?"
He nodded and dashed away. A sweat drop formed behind her head. She looked down at the teddy bear. She could tell it was hand-made.
"Wow, Hirono-chan!" She turned and saw a few friends. "Did Keade-kun gave that to you?" One of them asked. She nodded and walked with them to the building.
"Cool!" They exclaimed and sparkled, "If a guy gives you a hand-made teddy bear, it means he likes you!" She blushed. "And for sure Keade-kun likes you!"
"That's... absurd!" She retorted with lip alert and blushing, "Keade-kun is just a friend!" "A friend that you spend a lot with!" They all giggled, "Keade and Hirono sitting on the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first come love, second come marriage, third come a baby is baby cradle" They sang along and Hirono blushed red. "That's not true!" She immediately denied.
She looked down at the teddy bear. She smiled, she could feel his effort making it. She walked in with a happy mood.
She was studying and saw someone looking at her. She turned and saw a black-blue haired cute boy staring at her. "What's the matter, Keade-kun?" She looked curious.
"Nothing!" He replied innocently and continued writing. She continued writing too. "Ano..." He called and she stopped. "Yes?" She turned to him.
"Do you... like..." He was blushing and Hirono could see him held his pencil tight. She saw his fingers folded with bandages.
"... like my present?" He said out loud. "Keade-kun!" She immediately neared him and he flinched. "You don't-?" He stopped when he saw Hirono touching his hands. "Hirono-chan?"
"Did you hurt yourself to make the teddy bear?" She looked worried and looked up at him. He looked down, "I didn't hurt my self. Besides, it's my business to be hurt or not!" He moved his hands away.
Hirono was very concerned, "Keade-kun..."
It was recess. Keade was looking at Hirono from the classroom, while she was running in the field. He smiled when she looked clumsy in some time. "Yo, Rukawa!" He turned and saw a group of boys. They looked at where Keade was looking at and a big evil grin. They looked at him, "You like Hirono-chan huh?"
He immediately blushed. "Nooo..oo.." He denied with a shutter. "Don't you deny it, Rukawa!" One of them say. "I can proof it!" He immediately retorted and the boys had this ohed challenge sound. "Why don't you tell her?" They challenged.
It was in the evening and Keade gave out a note to Hirono to come see him in the corridor. The sun was orange and Keade was waiting impatiently near the big window and he saw a girl's shadow. He turned and saw Hirono. She looked embarassed.
"Why do you want to see me, Keade-kun?" She looked struggle. "I need to tell you something!" He said out loud and fisted, "I –" She stopped him, "Ssh!" He had a question look. "Before you say anything, I want to tell you something!"
"What?" He retorted. She blushed and playing with her fingers. She looked up at him, "I like you too, Keade-kun!" He looked surprised. His heart accepted the confessions. "Hirono-chan, I..." He stopped when he saw his friends hiding. He clenched his teeth, "Hirono-chan..."
"Yes, Keade-kun..." Hirono had a sweet look. He struggled and turned, "I am sorry but I never liked you Hirono..." She looked surprised and ashamed of herself. "I see..." She sounded disappointed. "The teddy bear doesn't mean anything. It's just a sign that you are just a friend..." He walked away looking determined, however, his heart has ripped apart.
As he walked away, there were tears streaming down her cheeks. She moved down and held on her legs crying, "Keade no baka... baka... baka..."
The next morning, Keade was uncomfortable to go to school, however that doesn't stop him to gol. As he stepped in his classroom, he heard the children noise. They looked serious. He walked over to the group of boys. "What's the fuss?"
"Keade-kun, we heard Hirono had moved!" One of them replied and deep down, Keade was shocked. "How... can... that be?" He retorted, "She didn't tell me anything!"
"She didn't tell us either, but possibility she will tell you, Keade-kun!" One of the girls said to him, "For you are her only closest friend." He shook his head vigorously walking backwards, "No... No..."
'I like you too, Keade-kun...' He remembered her sweet confession yesterday afternoon. 'I am sorry but I never liked you Hirono...' He remembered his reply and it was painful. He ran towards the door. "Keade-kun?"
He ran on the roadside quickly and stopped in front of a ordinary house. He puffed. The gate was labeled, 'Hirono residence'. He stepped in the territory and saw the house was emptied. "No... this isn't true..." He shook his head and saw an imaginary Hirono just in front of the entrance, 'Keade-kun!'
He fisted. He had done that he shouldn't. There were tears streaming down his cheeks, "Hirono-chan... Hirono-chan!!" He screamed.
Rukawa was cycling towards school while listening to his walkman, eventually he was also sleep-cycling. He passed by a lady in his school's girls uniform. Didn't she know that she was walking to a wrong direction.
Rukawa opened his eyes feeling something strange. He saw a pole and his eyes widened. He collided to the pole.
After the accident, his front tire bike was broken. "I won't sleep anymore..." He pouted. He looked annoyed and his eyes were trying shut again. A previous girl passed by and saw the bike heading towards her. Her eyes widened and she had a shriek.
Rukawa immediately his eyes and saw the girl. He immediately put on the brake. He was in chibi and puffed. He looked at the girl and they were close.
"Why are you sleeping when you cycling?" She yelled at him angrily. She had long brown hair with beautiful green eyes. She snapped and looked at her watch. She shrieked, "I am late!" She forgotten all about Rukawa and dashed to the school porch. Rukawa was just right behind her. They stopped when they saw an old man labeled 'Discipline teacher' on his coat.
"This doesn't look good..." She had vertical lines on her face. The dicipline teacher turned to them and walked over to them, "What do we have here? Trouble makers!"
She bowed, "I am sorry, sensei! I am a new student and I don't know where Shohoku is!" "Are you the transferred student?" He pointed and she nodded. "Yes I am! I am Hirono Kimi!"
Rukawa gazed at her immediately. He seemed relaxed when the discipline teacher founded them however was not relaxed when he heard the name 'Hirono'.
"Even though you are the new transferred student..." The discipline teacher pointed his long bamboo-like on her head, "It doesn't mean you don't get punishment!"
She bit on her lips and was ordered to make a push out with the other late students on the field as her punishment. She had an annoyed look, "My first day of school wasn't a good day after all..."
The decipline teacher looked up at the tall Rukawa and had sweat drops, "Rukawa Keade..." He didn't had a different nor scared look. "You are late again..." The teacher pointed. He looked unconcerned. The teacher sighed and ordered him to make his push out but he refused and walked in the school.
"He could flee from the teacher..." The girl looked Rukawa from behind. Rukawa turned and she could see a quarter of his face. He stared at her for a while and a sweat drop formed behind her head. "He looked cold..."
"You don't know who he is?" She turned and there was a girl pushing out to with her, "He is Rukawa Keade, the ace player of Shohoku High School."
"Rukawa Keade?" She repeated and though for a second, "Hrm... I didn't know..."
The gym roared as the members were practicing. "Yosh!! Keep it up!" The beautiful manager yelled trough the gym. Ayako was already the girlfriend of Ryouta, however they usyally go out for dates. Sakuragi and Haruko were closer than before.
They stopped and puffed on the floor. Ayako had a big grin that everyone felt dark aura from her. "I like to introduce you to two members of Shohoku High school basketball team!" She exclaimed.
"Members?" They repeated and there two girls walking over to Ayako. One of the girls was the girl Rukawa saw this morning, 'Hirono'.
"This is Hirono Kimi, the second manager!" Ayako pointed the long brown haired girl with green eyes. She bowed, "Nice to meet you all!" "However she is Hirono Sakura!" Ayako pointed the shorter one. She has a short light brown hair with green eyes too. Rukawa looked lost. There are... two Hirono... and he doesn't know her name.
The shorter was blushing. She looked shy. She bowed, "Please take care of me..." Kogure walked over to him and patted her, "We take care everyone here..." She blushed redder.
Rukawa looked at the two girls. Which one of her is the Hirono he knows at his childhood time?
There was room labeled, 'Rukawa Shintai room', had some kind of annoying noise. They were arguing about whom to select the new captain, when she was transferred to a different school. Someone knocked the door but was refused. She opened the door and the girls saw a long curly brown hair with green eyes on the door.
"What do you want?" One of the girls complained, "We are busy now!" "I would like to apply for the cheerleading club," She smiled innocently. "This is not just an ordinary cheerleading club!" Another pointed, "We don't cheer for the Basketball Shohoku Team, we only cheer for Rukawa Keade, that's why we are called as Rukawa Shintai!"
"Rukawa Shintai?" A sweat drop formed behind her head, "Oh well, My dream is to be a cheerleader, cheer to anyone can do!" She stood still, "I don't mind!"
The girls looked each other and discussed. "Yosh!" They stopped and looked at her, "You need to show us your moves!" She nodded and took a deep breath. They girls sat down. She cheered around the room and danced around happily and sweetly. The girls had their jaw dropped down. The assistant captain slammed the table, "You are qualified and you are selected to be the captain!"
"Eh?" She had dotted eyes. Is she too early to become a captain? "What's your name, girl?" They asked. "I am... I am Hirono Yumi." She introduced herself.
Rukawa was walking out the school and the Rukawa shintai ringed him. He had an irritated look. "We got good news for you, Rukawa-kun!" They all screamed. He paid no attention to them.
"We selected a new captain! Hirono Yumi!" They showed the girl and Rukawa immediately turned. He looked at her. She has brown hair and green eyes. He was confused. Hirono Kimi... Hirono Sakura... Hirono Yumi... which one is HER?
