Episode 02: The cousins
"We selected a new captain! Hirono Yumi!" The Rukawa Shintai showed a 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?
Rukawa threw himself on his bed looking up the ceiling. He saw 3 Hironos visions on the ceiling. "Three of them is Hirono I know in my childhood time... why don't I know her real name? I didn't know Hirono name was her family name!" He was in chibi annoyed. Kimi? Yumi? Or Sakura? Which one if her? He messed up his hair and looked at a frame picture on the left. A small girl was resting her arms on young Rukawa's head while he was blushing red. "Hirono-chan..."
"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..."
Rukawa shut his eyes, he regretted. "Keade-kun, dinner!" He heard someone screaming from down stairs and he got off from bed and walked out.
For the first time, Rukawa was not cycling however was just walking to school while listening his disk man. That doesn't mean he was not half a sleep. He had his eyes narrowed and annoyed. Sakuragi spotted him and pointed at him laughing like crazy, "Look! It's the narrow eyed Kitsune!" Rukawa turned at him like robot, "Stupid..."
"What did you say?" Sakuragi fisted angrily and before he could beat Rukawa up, his gundan came to pull him away from Rukawa especially when there were Rukawa Shintai around.
"Oh I see!" Rukawa heard a familiar voice and turned. He saw the 3 Hironos walking together. This confused him more when he tried to look further at 3 of them. His eyes were irritated.
"Rukawa-kun, good morning!" The curly one waved and held on his right arm, "Since I am the new captain, will you go out with me so we can understand a bit more?"
"Yumi, that's cruel! You should let him ask you first!" The shorter hair corrected with a blush. When she saw Kogure agreeing, she blushed redder.
The longer hair laughed like crazy, "I don't think Rukawa will ask any girls out!" "How can you tell?" Yumi asked with a crooked look, "Like as if you are his girlfriend!" "Everyone knows him, he's the Ace Shohoku basketball, right?" She replied and somehow she was the only one cold from the 3 cousins.
"You know them?" Rukawa asked curiously and the Rukawa shintai behind shrieked. The GREAT Rukawa asked their captain. Yumi looked up at him and nodded, "They are my cousins! We stay at Osaka for years!" Rukawa had a crooked look, he knew Hirono transferred to Osaka. The question was not worth it.
Kimi stared at Rukawa with a different look as if she had a grudge on him. He saw her and she immediately glanced away. "Don't mind her!" Yumi pulled him closer, "She's usually cold!" One point in Rukawa's mind, Hirono he knows is not cold.
The girls were at the girls locker. Kimi and Sakura were changing clothes. "Nee... Kimi..." Sakura asked politely, "Why do you hate boys that much?" Sakura shut her locker, "You give bad manners to them!" "I know everyone of us as bitter memories about boys being refused at but that doesn't mean we need to hate boys!" She talked like a lawyer.
"Sakura..." She looked at her, "I don't hate boys. I am just avoiding them so I won't fall for another boy anymore. You and Yumi should too!" She smiled nicely, "Ever since she was refused, she went crazy and started to be a cheerleader." She looked away and then looked at Sakura, "And you? After he refused you, you act like a baby!" Sakura looked down and bit her lips, "I can't help it... he was a good friend of mine..."
"Don't start crying okay?" Kimi sweat drops, "Or else others will think I bullied you!" Sakura screamed and Kimi had a sweat drop.
On the court, every member were getting their warm up and Kimi and Sakura walked over to them. Sakura was holding a file book however Kimi had a whistle clung on her neck. "Okay, guys! I am going to practice to be a manager from today onwards!" She looked like Ayako and the members shared the same sweat drops, "And today's my first day! Please be nice!"
Sakura checked the attendance. "Ishii!" There was a reply and more. "Mitsui Hisashi! Rukawa Keade!" They was no reply and every members talked to one other. Akagi boiled fisting, "Where in hell are they?" Kogure calmed him from behind. "Since Ayako is not around, I bet they think there's no practice." He looked relaxed and smiled to Sakura, who immediately blushed.
Away from the Gym, Yumi and her team were talking and laughing in the corridor. "Let's go to the toilet, shall we?" Everyone of them agreed and they headed towards the toilet. She stopped on the door and snapped, "Oh my!" She shut her mouth, "I left my bag in class!" "Go and take them! We'll wait!" One of them said and she nodded. "I'll be back!" She waved and ran off.
As she was running on the corridor, she collided to a man and she crashed down. She complained and looked up. She saw a guy taller than her. He had short black short hair with a crooked look, "Are you okay ms?" She stood up and dusted off visible dusts off. "Please be careful next time!" She told and run off. She didn't aware he was the Shohoku 3-point shooter, Mitsui Hisashi.
He sighed and played carelessly at his hair, "Akagi will have my head!" He walked and saw Rukawa. He greeted him with a wave.
Inside the girls room, they were discussing a gossip and Yumi was the blabber mouth. You know how cheerleaders act like. She talked and talked while doing her make-ups. "Eh? Rukawa?" She repeated, "What about him?"
Sakura opened the girls toilet door and saw Yumi's curly hair. "Yumi, here you are!" She walked over to her. "Guess what?" Yumi said to her and she had question look, "It's about Rukawa Keade!"
"Rukawa?" She repeated and started listening. A few minutes later, she shrieked with a blushed, "I don't believe it!" "Believe it or not!" One of the cheerleaders replied. Sakura shook her head blushing, "Rukawa Keade is not a man like that!" "How can you say that?" Yumi pointed, "We haven't go any gossip yet!" She saw Kimi on the door and ran over to her.
"What?" She immediately reacted and she was pulled through the crowds. "Rukawa Keade?" A few minutes later listening. She was blushing too. "Wait a second, where did you got this information?" She wasn't really interested with gossips, same with Sakura, however they were attracted in when it was about the famous Ace Player, Rukawa Keade.
The cousins were behind the girls and kept moving to them to get a better hearing. Their expressions looked crooked. Moment by moment they were blushing and blushing. Yumi slammed on the sink, "Rukawa Keade would not do such thing!"
"But we did! He was at my house's last night!" One of them held her cheeks blushing red. She explained all about her night with Rukawa Keade. The girls blushed. "It was exciting!" She pointed again and the 3 cousins immediately retorted, "Rukawa Keade is not that man! He doesn't flirt girls that way until he sleeps with them!" The girls looked at them. They looked mad, why? They just meet Rukawa yesterday. The toilet door opened a little and they looked at the door.
One of the cheerleaders walked towards the door and opened. They saw Rukawa Keade and Mitsui Hisashi and screamed. They had been listening their gossips. Mitsui was holding the back of his head innocently while Rukawa looked cool.
As they were gossiping, Mitsui and Rukawa were passing by the girl toilet and heard the name of Rukawa Keade. They immediately walked over to the door and started to evasdrop. When they heard the 3 cousins protecting him, Mitsui reacted by pushing the door a little.
Rukawa had a smile, yes, somehow. She looked at the cousins. They were blushing red and they immediately when in the toilet rooms.
The class started a half an hour later and they were at the 1st year classroom. Yumi was sitting in the center of an attraction of boys. Kimi was sitting at the left back near the window so she could daydream however Sakura was sitting in front 3 desks from the door so she can go in and out quickly without worrying to skip any good notes from the teacher. Rukawa, obviously were sitting at the back in middle. He was napping and everyone could hear his snore.
"Doesn't he get scolded for that?" Kimi laid her head on her palm as her elbow stood on her desk while looking at Rukawa at the back. She looked at Yumi who was ringed by the whole boys in class. "Nee... Yumi, can you go out of with me tonight?" "Are you free tonight?" Sakura was reading and Kimi sighed. She looked out the window.
The class became silent when the teacher entered in. Kimi looked at the teacher and he took attendance. "Rukawa Keade!" Everyone keep quiet somehow with irritated. There was a snore.
The teacher checked his book; "I take that as a yes!" Kimi's forehead crashed down on her desk. She had veins popping out holding her forehead. She hurt herself somehow.
It was recess and the boys surrounded Yumi while Sakura was reading. She mushroom breathed, even though she had lived with her cousin for years after all of them were refused, she can't understand them. They all changed after all of them were refused. Unexpectedly, they were refused at the same year. Yumi wasn't as popular as it now. Sakura wasn't as clever as now. They were different.
Everyone assumed that Sakura was reading and studying however she wasn't. She was thinking about her past. Being refused by crush was really a big shock. She bit her lips and started blushing. She changed her habit to blush all the time.
Yumi was smiling at the boys and everyone assumed that she was interested in every guy but eventually they were wrong. She was trying to look for someone to replace the boy who refused her. She wanted to be a cheerleader for years even though her crush never liked it.
Kimi stood up from her desk and walked pass Rukawa, who seemed concerned. He stood up and followed from behind. She walked on the corridor and looked outside the entrance. She sat down on the bench outside and opened her lunch. She hold on her chopstick and started eating slowly and alone.
Rukawa looked at her from a distant. Hirono Kimi wanted to be left alone even though she looked lonely. He saw Yumi walking out with the boys. Yumi was an outgoing girl and spend a lot of time with friends. He then saw Sakura walking out towards the teacher's staff room. She was holding some books. However Hirono Sakura usually concentrate on one thing all the time.
He stopped and had irritated eyes. He looked at the place where Kimi was sitting but she was gone. He looked left and right and there was question marks all over his head with dots. He started scratching his head and stopped. He ignored and walked inside the entrance building.
Yumi was leaning on the other side obviously hiding. She peeked and didn't saw Rukawa. She sighed and sat down on the ground, "Why do he have to watch over 3 of us?" She gasped, "Must it be?" Her eyes widened, "He knows one of us are the girl he knows?" She stood up, "I got to the tell the girls!"
Sakura knocked the staff room door and bowed. She entered and talked to a teacher about a particular subject. When she got everything, she thanked and walked out the door. She collided to a figure and it caught her before she could fall down. She opened her eyes after a gasp and she did not fall. She opened her eyes and saw worried Kogure.
"Are you okay, Sakura-kun?" He asked and quite concerned. She blushed redder and immediately moved backward blocking her mouth with her books. "You're quite assiduous," He smiled and she blushed redder. She looked down, "I was got confused to a particular question."
"Can you answer it now?" He asked as he tilted his ahead a side. She looked at his sweet smile and she couldn't resist. She tried to yes but something flashed back. "I don't like you!" Her eyes immediately opened wide and the blush vanished. She looked down and apologized. She ran passed him. She doesn't want to be refused again. It was very painful.
Yumi at last annoyed by the boys. She turned them, "Stop disturbing me you dolts!" She pointed angrily, "I am too good for your guys!" Actually she was exaggerating, even though she looked like a proud girl.
"Nee... what's wrong with that?" One of bad guy held on her arm and she flinched. She slapped his face angrily, "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!"
"Wow... an expensive one!" One of the pointed and she started to scream again to them. She is a cheerleader. They walked towards her. "You heard her!" All of them turned and saw a dark black haired guy from behind with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a bag behind his head.
"You have no business here!" One of them pointed. "No business?" He looked mad and they immediately run away. Mitsui was one of the street boy right?
"Are you all right ms?" He looked at Yumi. She looked at him and harrumphed, "I don't actually need your help!" Mitsui raised an eyebrow and turned to boys, "Hey guys! She doesn't need my help! You can get her now!" He sounded sarcastic and she reacted by hitting his arm. He laughed.
She blushed and crossed her arm across her chest. He just laughed. Somehow, he started to love teasing this curly haired girl.
Sakura ran along on the building sides and still remembered her past. She collided to someone hard as she turned a halt and nearly fell down. Luckily she was caught by the hand like Kogure did previously. She opened her eyes and saw a taller guy. It was Rukawa Keade. She flinched, "Rukawa... Keade..." There were tears in her eyes and she immediately moved back wiping it off. She apologized.
"Did someone bullied you?" He asked cool. She shook her head vigorously. "Sakura, what's the matter?" She saw Yumi behind with Mitsui and she immediately over to her. They had a question look, "Sakura?" She cried.
Mitsui had a crooked look and looked at Rukawa. He looked around and started to point at Rukawa, who was ataken back. "You must done something out of the ordinary when she tried to refuse!" He said sarcastically that Rukawa and Yumi nearly crash down. Yumi hit his quickly like a wind and his face faced down the ground. Rukawa had a sweat drop. Mitsui laughed.
Kimi was behind and asked, "What's with Sakura?" Sakura turned and saw her. There were more tears. She started whining. "I don't want to go to the past anymore!"
"Past?" Rukawa and Mitsui repeated seriously and Kimi walked over to her. She patted her, "It won't happen again! If it does, we will definitely beat him up!" Yumi agreed. Sakura looked at up at them. "Even though how handsome he is!" Yumi pointed and Kimi had irritated eyes. "You don't have to be that far..."
"Past..." Rukawa headed towards the Gym. Could Hirono Kimi the girl he knew and loved? He shook his head vigorously with a sweat drop. She has the right hair, right eyes, right name family... He shut his eyes and actually he was very confused in the inside.
