Ishizu gazed at the crowed while her parents are giving a speech. Seeing Mitsui in the crowd, she covered her face with her long brown hair. After the speech, Ishizu tried to avoid Mitsui. Haruko saw her and went towards her.

"Ishizu, I'm glad to see you. C'mon, my friends would love to meet you," said Haruko as she pulled Ishizu out of the crowd. Haruko introduced her to the team, "Ishizu, this is my brother, Takenori, the basketball's manageress, Ayako, the basketball players, Miyagi, Kogure, Sakuragi, Rukawa and…"

She interrupted, "Hisashi Mitsui, correct?"

"How did you know?" said Haruko in a surprised way.

"We're already acquainted," said Mitsui.

"Um… excuse me, I have to go Haruko," said Ishizu. Mitsui's eyes followed her as she walks away into the balcony. "Excuse me for a minute," said Mitsui as he then followed her towards the balcony.

"Why didn't you tell me Ishizu?" asked Mitsui.

"Why do you wanna know?" she replied.

"Well, we're friends and I wanna know more about you," replied Mitsui.

"I just wanna have a low profile. I'm not into socializing with rich people. I guess that what my parents and I are always arguing about. They want me and my brother to continue their businesses in Japan but I want to be a singer," said Ishizu sadly.

"You sing?" said Mitsui in a surprised way. "Yeah do you?" she replied.

"No, I play the guitar. It's just my little hobby to past my boredom," he said.

"Hey Ishizu," someone called her. She turned and saw Kainan's rookie, Kyota Nobunaga. "So, did you miss me?"

"Yeah, like I'll miss a monkey," she said sarcastically.

"C'mon, admit it. You like me. Don't worry, I won't reject you," said Kyota as he puts his hand to her shoulder.

She elbowed Kyota's stomach. "Touch me again and your hands will never anything ever again," she said angrily.

"Tough chick," thought Mitsui.

"She turned to Mitsui and said, "I'll just see you tomorrow, k?" She then went back to the room.


The next day, Mitsui wakes up early. The sun is slightly up in the sky. He took a loose white shirt and walking shorts from his bag. After dressing up, he goes out of their room to have a little walk. He heard then a ball dribbling. He looks around to see where it is coming from. He saw a small basketball court near the sidewalk and saw Ishizu doing a three-point shot. The ball shoots in.

"Nice shot," said Mitsui. She turned around and saw Mitsui getting the ball.

"Nah, it was just a lucky shot," said Ishizu as her face turns red, "I know you play better. I watched your game against Shoyo. I should say you were terrific."

"Thanks for the complement. So do you play basketball?" asked Mitsui.

"I don't. I mean I'm not good at it. I just watch. I'm more of a gymnastic girl," she replied, "So, do are you hungry? I can ask the chef to cook breakfast?"

"Sure," said Mitsui as walked together in the sidewalk.

Back at the room, Miyagi wakes up. He looked at the room and noticed that Mitsui was gone. "Where did Mitsui go? He usually wakes up late." he muttered. He wakes up Sakuragi. "It's only 6:30. What do you want!?" said Sakuragi as he slightly opens his eyes.

"Have you seen Mitsui?" asked Miyagi.

"How can I see him when I'm asleep? He must be out. Now, don't bother me. A tensai needs its rest," said Sakuragi as he goes back to sleep.

Miyagi dresses up and then went out looking for Mitsui. While searching for Mitsui, he suddenly felt. He decided to eat at the restaurant in the resort. He went in and was surprised to see Mitsui with a girl. He sits on the table near them and covers his face with the menu. The waiter walks towards him. "What will you order sir?" the waiter asked.

"Uh, I'll have the special," replied Miyagi.

"Right away, sir," the waiter said. Then he went back to kitchen.

He looked at Mitsui again and keep on sniggering. "I should have brought my camera. This is too much," he thought.

After a while Mitsui and Ishizu went out of the restaurant. Miyagi went out and went back to theur room. "Wait 'til the guys hear this," he muttered.
