Chapter II
Disclaimer: I don't own SD boys, Inoue does. The events that follow are not included in the original plot, but enjoy anyway.
The star player of Shohoku High was a species of multiple idiosyncrasies. Aside from his knack of drawing mass attention either through his athletic skills or apathetic disposition, he was an extraordinary masterpiece of visual art. Only Hanamichi Sakuragi would not appreciate his 'foxy' looks as he would always put it to start a scuffle. Nevertheless, Kaede Rukawa remained the most popular player of the Shohoku Basketball team.
His features weren't necessarily as striking as Mitsui's but such looks could unconsciously melt a frigid heart in a rather unlikely manner. His complexion was fair beyond normal, his eyes were sunk in a chasm of unfathomable indistinctiveness, and there was something mesmerizing and threatening about his character; something frighteningly attractive about his whole being.
This troubled Mitsui Hisashi for whenever he felt the freshman's presence, a bolt of cold electric flash shot through the edges of his fragile body. It wasn't pain that he felt; it was more like a feverish excitement that led him to fear that uncanny feeling. Although he could not yet make anything out of these instances, he continued to steal furtive glances of the star player. When this happened he would contradict that deed with words or pay little heed to it. 'So what? I'm just looking, that's all. I still love Kogure anyway,' he said every time he caught himself in unawares.
Mitsui knew very well where to draw the line between sensual inclination and true love; therefore, it was easy to decide between Rukawa and his Kogure.
In truth, he wished to rid himself of this unintended attraction towards their star player. 'What are you, Hisashi? You only want to make out with him and after that, you'll throw him away like a disposable underwear,' he kept telling himself this, hoping the feeling would pass like a faint blow of a stray wind. 'But Kogure no longer has this thing for you. You know it,' said a tiny malevolent voice inside him.
Not until this moment when a continuous stream of dark thoughts inundated his complacent mind. Truth was, Kogure no longer had feelings for him and he knew it, plainly, clearly, and agonizingly. He was only there because he pitied Mitsui for having missed all the opportunities of becoming Kanagawa's best high school player.
But even as he struggled against all cruel possibilities of being dumped by the man of his dreams, Mitsui Hisashi's eyes haunted Kaede Rukawa as the latter moved from one side of the court to the other. Without will and knowledge he longed to press his palm against that wide set of muscular shoulders, he yearned to hold the surface of the star's pure and untouched cheeks, he craved to run his playful fingers down Rukawa's defined spine.
Temptation is a case where neither conditions offers victory nor gain; you get lured to a pool of scandalous and temporary pleasure and drown unconsciously or get out of it empty handed. Either way, you lose the game. Lust is a luxury you can't afford, and a commodity like Kaede Rukawa was one most expensive and most in demand.

Author's note: if you guys are wondering why I rated this as such, it's because I think kids below the age of 17 will find it tiring to read. However, I can write something here that's surely for mature audience only. So enjoy reading and send reviews to tell me of what you guys think. I'm having second thoughts about the story. '___'
