Disclaimer: Slam Dunk, and its original characters do not belong to me. It belongs to Inoue Takehiko. All the unoriginal characters in this fic are mine, though. What If?, A Fling and A Love Within Three Hearts is a trilogy. If you haven't read the other two stories, read those first.
Summary: Hana got back from the States already. Len also too. Set during Hana and Kaede's second year.
A/n: Kaede and Taka wants their other brother, Len to fit in. So, expect OOC in Kaede's case.
Chapter 4
There's no doubt that Len tried very hard to suppress his feelings as Kaede kept on being at Hana's side. Miyagi always make them become partners, and even if Miyagi didn't do it, both of them pulled to each other, this makes Len jealous, even though Hana played better if Kaede's her partner.
"Kaede!" she shouted, and passed the ball to Kaede, and Kaede passed back to her, "Hana!"
They were practicing passes to further accentuate their talents for the coming of Ryonan. Hana, for one, couldn't wait for Ryonan to come, since she had always wanted to play against Sendoh again. For Rukawa, this is another moment to defeat Sendoh.
"Ok, team, practice shooting!" shouted Miyagi an hour later. They are going to practice till night, and what Miyagi wanted the team to improve in their offence skill.
At the end of practice...
"The practice match with Ryonan will start at 9 a.m. next Saturday, and Hana, please don't be late," Miyagi said.
"I won't be late, Ryocchin, I couldn't wait to play against Akira again," Hana answered.
"You always play one-on-one against Sendoh," Rukawa stated.
"That, is one-on-one, this is team-playing," Hana defended herself. "And besides, I always lose at the one-on-one,"
"I've never seen how this Sendoh look like," Len voiced out.
"He got a spiky hairstyle, and a pale complexion, but you are paler," Miyagi answered. "And he's quite tall as well, but play as the point guard,"
"Konbanwa everyone!" shouted a cheery voice.
"Speak of the devil," muttered Miyagi, and turned towards the owner of the voice. Sendoh himself.
"Konbanwa, what brings you here?" asked Hana. "There's nothing for you to spy on, Akira, we finished practice,"
"C'mon, Hana, why'd I want to spy Shohoku practicing, when I have you to spy on every Sunday morning," Sendoh answered. "I'm just passing by to tell you and Rukawa that I couldn't come to play our usual one-on-one, on Sunday, because I've to go to Osaka for a while,"
"Couldn't you just call me to tell that, Akira?" asked Hana.
"No," Sendoh smiled cheekily. "My mother's already complaining bout the phone bill, well, I'd better be going to catch the train, Ja!"
"Ja!" Hana said after that, and Sendoh ran towards the school gates.
"Both of you are pretty cozy," Miyagi teased although he knew Hana and Sendoh are like best friends. According to them, a relationship just wouldn't happen to them because they were waaay too similar, and according to Hana, his kisses to her are cold.
"C'mon, Ryocchin, he's just cancelling our regular one-on-ones this Sunday, the poor boy's dragged by his mom to Osaka," Hana explained.
Len felt jealous, Hana even called Sendoh by his first name. His emotions showed in his eyes. Kaede watched as his twin watched Hana jealously.
"Do you like Hana?" Kaede asked. Len denied it by shooking his head.
"Good, because you know I do," Kaede answered him.

"Hana, can we, err, talk?" asked Len. Lately, it's been hard to talk to Hana since Kaede are in the same classes as them, except Advanced Calculus, where Len and Hana had to go to another class, where they are the only two taking the subject. Akagi and Kogure used to be the only two student in their second and third year to study Advanced Calculus, and Ayako is the only student brave enough to follow their footsteps, and now, Hana and Len, Hana had joined the class with Ayako last year, when her math teacher found out about her mathematics side of the brain.
Currently, their advanced calculus teacher is on leave, and left them a pile of homeworks to be done in class and at home.
"Later? I just couldn't seem to understand how to get the shaded area under the curve," Hana answered.
"What problems are you working on?" Len asked.
"I told you, I don't know how to work on these," Hana answered, showing Len the questions.
"Hmm, this is quite easy, use integration with limits, find the area under the curve, and then find the area under the straight line, and then, minus them, find the equation of the straight line first, though," Len explained. Hana nodded.
"The answer's still not right!" Hana complained. Len looked at it again, and replied, "Change the limits,"
Hana nodded. They were seated close, closer than what they say 'normal' friends should. As they are doing their work, somebody, a girl, probably a second year like them as well, watched as they do their work, and put their heads together, and jumped into a conclusion.

The next day...
Lunchtime
"Come and buy our first copy of Students' Gazette!" shouted the girl only known as Miori. "We've added a gossips' section!"
Hearing that, everyone rushed to the table, and bought a copy.
"A gossip section? Sound like the Black and Gold," Hana said, reminded of Kennedy's own student-based paper, Black and Gold.
"Yeah," Len answered, remembering the first time Black and Gold had recorded his first ever gossip with a girl, Hana. How they got the information, he didn't know.
"Hey, look at this, a popular female student, Ms.H is seen sitting to closely for comfort with a newly arrived popular male student, Mr.L, in an empty class, how will this affect Mr.K, who seemed to not want Ms.H from leaving him? Mr.K kept on being Ms.H's partner in her plays, will they get together, or will Mr.L take the place of Mr.K?," Yohei read.
"Ms. H? Mr.L? Mr.K?" Takamiya asked. "Why does they sound familiar?"
"It's just gossips, Takamiya, don't bother much about it," Hana chided, knowing full well that Ms.H is herself, Mr.K is Kaede, while Mr.L is Len. They just fabricated it by saying 'plays' instead of 'games' or 'basketball'.

As promised, Hana and Len talked at the roof.
"I still love you, I couldn't stand looking at how you treat Kaede like a boyfriend, and me, like a friend, and why do you insists calling every male person you know with their first name?" Len asked.
"Len, first of all, I do love you, but I love Kaede too, I didn't treat Kaede like a boyfriend, I treat him like a best friend, and the reason why I called every male person I know with their first names was, they are all like brothers to me. Akira, I mean Sendoh, was once there when I needed him, he loves me, but we just couldn't be together because our kisses were cold, and we found out that we were waaaaaaay too similar, and Akira couldn't stop giving other girls attention as well, and at that time, there's passion with Kaede. And Captain Miyagi shared with me his secrets of love, helped me when I need help," Hana answered.
"You couldn't be possesive, Len, I don't know yet what I want, I didn't mean to hurt both you and kaede," Hana continued.
"Let's kiss to see if you really still love me," Len suggested. Hana nodded. At the moment when their lips met, somebody entered the roof to sleep, and saw them kissing.
"ADAM!" shouted the person. Len turned and saw Kaede, his eyes glittering with anger.
"Kaede," Hana gasped after she ended the kiss abruptly.
