Disclaimers: I do not own slam dunk or its characters
Author's notes: Thank you for all the reviews!
Also, this chapter is mostly Sendoh, which is one of my fav characters; I hope I portrayed him well. I don't know if I made him likable.
Chapter 2: The Hentai approaches
Koshino calmly walked on to his next class. It was strange, he had not seen Sendoh the entire day. Usually Koshino could not go five minutes undisturbed by Sendoh's talking or idle teasing.
Therefore, Koshino was in a relatively good mood.
/Sendoh pops out of a bush/ "What are you doing Kosh?"
"kuso!"
"What?"
"Nothing, What's have you've been up to. I haven't seen you around all day. And why were you in that bush?"
"Well…I was waiting for you silly." Takes a leaf that got impaled on his spikes, "Guess what?"
Koshino fumes, 'Why does Sendoh has this effect on me, am I just grumpy?"
Koshino looks at Sendoh's excited and expectant eyes, "I give up"
"Oh Come on! Guess"
'It probably has something to do with HIM. How could Sendoh like that disrespectful annoying monkey?'
"You got an A in math class?" Koshino guessed
Akira finished dusting his clothes from the leaves, "Come on, I waited all day to tell you. Play along."
"Did you wait all day in that bush?"
Sendoh smiles sheepishly, "Maybe? Anyway, you know How much I like…no no no..love Sakuragi Hanamichi right?"
"OF COURSE I KNOW YOU ONLY TELL ME EVERY DAY," Koshino yells, anger level at 70 percent.
"Jeez, calm down Hiro. Okay, although I am not one to give up easily. I sort of backed off because I heard he likes some girl in his school, therefore probably not into men."
Koshino cleans his new glasses carefully, He hated how glasses made his look like that other guy in Rukawa's team (what was it? Megane-kun as Sakuragi called him?). After Koshino had finished gathering his patience he answered Sendoh,
"Probably? So confident! And by backed off you mean what exactly? You still flirt voraciously with him"
"So cynical! You look so cute when you're angry and even cuter when you're not wearing glasses."
"NOT CUTE! NOT CUTE" yells Koshino as he waves his arms wildly about, "I am not a bunny or a cat or something, please don't refer to me as cute!"
"Okay okay. So here's the scoop" Sendoh pauses as he looks both ways to see if anyone is eavesdropping, "Sakuragi is not only single but he now no longer pursues or cares about Haruko, which is that girl he used to like. It also said that he seems to have lost all interest in girls. You see, this means I have a chance. HOPE!"
Sendoh pauses and expectantly waits for Koshino's reaction.
Koshino puts his glasses on, it was almost time for class so he needed to make this quick," Now who or where did you hear this from?"
"Well the information has been circulating the past few days through very reliable sources. I first heard it on the Shohoku team website. It's on the player profile page."
Koshino gives him a weird look, "There's a website?"
"It is more of a fan site. I believe it was built by some brigade or other but it gets very reliable information from many sources, including our own Aida. He is a main source of information for the website."
"…" Ksohino looks at Sendoh as if he had sprouted extra arms.
"I get a newsletter"
"I was not aware of the depths of your insanity," Koshino says while he eyes Sendoh for potential stalker qualities.
"It's called passion, Kosh. Although, when I asked his friend Youhei he told me Hana likes to play hard to get. He was actually strangely informative; I believe we can count him on our side."
"What else did he say?"
"Youhei said he was "feisty""
"Feisty," Koshino was flabberghasted, what was Youhei up to? From what he seen of Sakuragi he wasw a lot more than feisty (more like homicidal maniac with a chip on his shoulder)
Sendoh smiles, "I like feisty. Although It sort of sounds like an understatement, right? Hana always seemed kind of violent to me, another reason I never approached him too aggressively."
At least they agreed on one issue!
Koshino looks at his watch. 'Must get away. I have missed math class but if I hurry I can still make it for history. I just hope I can escape, I knew I should have brought my bat from home today. Or as I call it, my beating stick'
Koshino gave Akira his strongest glare, strong enough to send demons back to hell or subjugate a family of wild bulls, "LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!"
Sendoh flashed his most earnest smile, "Nope"
'Kuso! He is too much…must resist…my will is weakening…'
As Koshino struggles with his inner demons, Sendoh looks on with concern.
"Come on Hiro, you know I am not too good at this."
"You've done it many times!"
Sendoh pouts, "But this is important. I need more brains for this to work. And itss good to have your support."
/Looks at Kosh with puppy eyes and whimpers/
/Sound of Koshino's will breaking/
"Ok"
"Yippee!" Sendoh hugs Koshino in gratitude, "Don't worry I have already drawn out the initial battle plans. Like I said, Youhei was VERY informative. Kekekeke"
"Stop with the old lady laugh and the war lingo! We'll talk some more after class."
Koshino started to run/stomp away.
Sendoh throws his arms around him, "We are going now, Hi-kun!"
Koshino was then carried off at full speed to Shohoku, his plans temporarily canceled.
'What ever happened to going to class, how doe Sendoh keep up his grades this way' Thinks Koshino as he is carried like a sack of potatoes.
Later…
Sendoh and Koshino where stalking Shohoku's grounds in a very suspicious manner. When they approached the wall Sendoh leaned against it, checked his watch, and waited.
Perplexed Koshino, "What are we waiting for now?" To tell the truth, Koshino was starting to get into it.
'This spy stuff is fun I guess, It beats some boring history lesson. I guess skipping class once in a while is ok' (rationalizing)
"So?" Koshino asked
Sendoh grinned, "You'll see"
Koshino groans, 'Am I really needed here? He just wants a partner in crime' Eyes Sendoh, 'I am not doing time for this moron.'
Approaching footsteps, "Spying?"
Sendoh and Koshino turn to see the Ice prince himself giving them a questioning and very cold glare. It lookedas if he had just woken up, his hair was messy and his clothes were rumpled.
'Just what I needed' Koshino thought, 'Rukawa witnessing my moment of shame!'
Sendoh steps forward, "Is it any of your business? Just so you know I have come to pick up my boyfriend, but it has nothing to do with you."
Sparks flied between the two rivals, showing their enmity. Their basketball rivalry did not just stop in the courts, but was extended into their normal lives. Koshino was momentarily forgotten.
Meanwhile…
Sakuragi and Youhei were in trouble again. Sakuragi headbutted some students for calling him stupid and Youhei helped just because he liked to fight. They made their getaway before any of the teachers recognized them. They were being pursued by the faculty and the angry gang as we speak.
If they're not caught, then the teachers cannot prove it was them. They were thus exonerated, or so that was Sakuragi's philosophy
Needless to say it was the usual day, with a completely normal routine. At least for the both of them.
/Frantic running/
"This way Youhei! I mean… Peter"
/Looks back to see if teachers have heard/
Both Sakuragi and Youhei then jump Shohoku's wall, instead off taking the longer way through the front gates of the school. It was a formidable feat seeing how high these walls were, but both the boys were used to this exercise.
Akira heard sound of shouting and running coming from the other side of the wall. It was almost time!
As Sakuragi jumps down from the wall, Sendoh positions himself in order to catch him in his arms.
'A little left, no right. Bingo!'
/Hana lands on Sendoh's strong arms/
"Hello sweetie!" Sendoh said to the horrified boy in his arms.
Sendoh then carries him off as three eyes watch on in shock.
'So that was his plan' Koshino thought, not knowing whether he should follow or not.
Youhei takes his opportunity to observe Rukawa who had on an expression of pure shock. When he saw Youhei looking he blushed and went on his way.
'This is working better than I thought!' thought Youhei as he rubbed his hands maliciously together.
Rukawa went home on his bike, yet he was unable to fall sleep.
'Sakuragi and Sendoh?'
Rukawa had a feeling he wouldn't get much sleep tonight.

Notes: there it is. It is longer than I had hoped. Anyway,
Next time: Kitsune wakes up!
