Autumn Winds
Chapter One: The Beginning
by Archangel
Rukawa's POV
"Sendoh-san!"
Behold, the hedgehog turns…
"Hi! Anou, can I have your autograph?"
Behold, she gives it her boobs…
"Yeah, sure."
Flirt.
"Guys from Ryonan are a bunch of airheads. It's as if they're ultimately good-looking." Ryota-sempai commented.
It was our first practice game to open up the annual tournament and guess what?
"Good for us that we're the humble-type of guys…" Mitsui-sempai replied.
We're just down by one point.
"You're not the humble-type of guys," Aya-chan said, "You're just not famous."
It's all because of the hedgehog.
"WHAT?!?!"
whack whack
"Hmph! Someday, Ayako… someday!" Mitsui-sempai said as we all walked out of Ryonan High's Gymnasium.
whack said the unconquerable fan…
"Let's go, Rukawa."
That's right, guys from Ryonan are indeed a bunch of airheads.
And that includes you Sendoh Akira.
Ultimately good-looking? Owww…give me a break.
I looked at my reflection by the parked car's window…
I look even better than you.
You beat me once, Sendoh. And that's it.
This is the last.
Someday, I'll beat you…
"Hey wait up, Rukawa!"
Reflexively, I turned around and behold…
"You're Rukawa, right?"
The king of all airheads…
"Nice game."
Sendoh Akira…and his right hand.
For a handshake…what an insult…
I don't shake hands with airheads.
"Nice game, Rukawa-kun."
And he's waiting for a reply.
"Ne?" he said…
With his irritatingly trying-so-hard-to-be-cute smile.
Fine.
Sendoh's POV
He slapped my hand.
Good game alright.
He's not a sport and I can see that.
But you're the next best thing since God knows when…
You threatened my basketball prowess and now I'm rejuvenated.
You exemplified good speed…
Godly agility…
Great ability…
You blocked my shots twice.
You stole the ball from me thrice.
But you caught my attention only once…
And once is enough.
And I think that you're a potential rival.
Good enough to match airs with me.
But…
Can we be friends?
Oh, you walked away…
Fine.
After slapping my hand…fine.
I may have won the game today but just now, I lost a fight.
You're way too high, Rukawa.
But you might not know…
I can fly high.
TBC
Author's Notes: Yes, a cliffhanger. It was just a re-taste of what we saw on SD TV back in the 13th episode with of course, the SenRu touch. Constructive criticisms are most welcomed.
