Title: A Dirty Basketball

Disclaimer: If I owned SD, I'd be filthy rich right now and I'd not have to go through fanfics if I wanted to realize this story, y'know.

Pairings: Umm, at the moment, uncertain. But this is not yaoi!

Time Setting: After Shohoku lost to Aiwa. Oh, wait! After the Interhigh was concluded. Yup, the champs are here. Of course, they're my creation. And here, the teams are still complete.

Fictional/New Character: A whole team, actually… Okay, a whole school. This includes the particular person I created, Aki Sendoh, Akira Sendoh's, umm… cousin… hehehe!

POV's: many, maybe most of my lead characters will have their own share

Summary: Sendoh arrives at his house to find Sendoh Aki watching on his TV, in his living room!

Chapter 11: That TV Addict

NoRMaL PoV:

What the!

Sendoh's heartbeat raised. Someone's broken into his house! He gently pushed the door open and quietly crept inside the hallway. Holding his breath, he followed his instincts and turned towards the kitchen. He silently picked up a knife. Realizing he could hear noises from the living room, he quietly proceeded.

If it's a man, I'll stab him right away. If it's a girl, I'll… think about it first. Nyahahahaha…

Sendoh proceeded, knife in raised hand. When he entered the living room, however, all his thoughts about burglars and the phone number of the nearest police station were erased.

"Aah! What're you doin' here?" the pleasantly surprised hedgehog exclaimed.

"A. Konbanwa, Akira 'ni-chan. H – Hey – What's the knife for?" A girl was sitting on Sendoh's couch, in a comfotable resting position. The girl was wearing a loose sleeveless black shirt and fitted black jogging pants. Moreover, the girl had that familiar grin, and those familiar earrings… that just looked too many.

"Whaatt?" Don't call me 'oni-chan,' baka!"

"I traveled all the way to here, and you just call me 'baka?'" the girl said teasingly. "It took me quite a while to plan all this, y'know. How long it'd take me to come here, how long it'd take me to fix all my stuff before you arrived. Oh, that's so you wouldn't chuck me out of your house so easily. But anyways, mind you, it was hard work! But you don't have any work to do now, don't worry. I've fixed all my stuff upstairs. I've also washed the dishes you left all summer, and I've dusted these couches, you see? I've also tidied up the bed for the two of us,"

"Where did you put your stuff again?"

"Upstairs,"

"Upstairs – where?"

"Er… In your room,"

"And what did you do with my bed again?"

" I… fixed it,"

"What for?"

"So that… we could sleep in it,"

"We – Who we?"

"We… You and me,"

"You mean – "

"Well, only if it's okay with you, of course. I didn't mean to just really – barge in. Like, you still have the option to chuck me outta your house if you want to. It's just that – " Aki stumbled with her words, talking very fast with apology.

"Aa! Aki!" Sendoh was not anymore able to contain the happiness that he was feeling. He lunged at his cousin and hugged her.

"Baka! What're you doing?"

"Anata wa baka desu! I'm so happy to see you! You had me worried earlier, did you know? You didn't turn up at Jonan! And now you're here! You're living in the same house with me! We're gonna be sharing the same bedroom! You're gonna be sleeping with me in bed!" Sendoh said, not getting off Aki.

"Hey, don't get all dirty, you pervert! We are gonna be sharing the same bed, but not in the way you think! We're just gonna sleep beside each other! Nothing else is gonna happen!"

"What makes you think I'll allow that?" Senodh said with an evil grin. "I'm only allowing you to stay in my room because that is gonna happen,"

"I'd rather sleep in the streets! Why're the other rooms not in use, anyway?"

"Well, it's been just me here since mom and dad left. I needed just one room. And that situation proves to be useful in times like this,"

"You perverted hedgehog,"

"How long are you gonna stay here?"

"How about – forever?"

"Aa! I love you!" Sendoh kissed his cousin hurriedly.

"Hey! Stop it!" Aki said, pulling away but still smiling.

"That was just a friendly kiss!"

"And even if it wasn't, it's not needed,"

"Why?" Sendoh blinked.

"Because it's not really forever,"

"?"

"I'm an exchange student this year at Shohoku. Y'know. Jonan to Shohoku, and vice versa,"

"Sh – Shohoku?"

"Yup,"

"Then, you'll be with – Aa! You can't go to Shohoku! Go to Ryonan instead!"

"Baka," Aki said, gently faking a slap on Sendoh's cheek. "No. Seriously, is it –"

"Alright with me if you stayed here? Of course, not," Aki blinked. "Come on, Sendoh Aki. Of course, it is,"

"Hm. Hedgehog," Aki smiled. "I'm – happy to be here," Aki said shyly.

"I'm happy you're here, too," Senodh said as he pulled Aki closer into a hug, burying her face into his chest.
