"I DIDN"T KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN YOU!" Ryota said betwee snorting, laughing and stamping his feet.
The brunette released her grip from Sakuragi and got up. She walked calmly towards Ryota before finally erupting, "THAT'S NOT ANYWAY TO TALK TO ROYALTY!!" before finally fishing Ryota off with a mighty shove.
Ryota tumbled backwards and sat there stunned. Everybody was speechless, the same question running in their mind. Just who is this girl.
After giving Ryota a satisfied smirk, the brunette then faced again the confused red-head. A smile playing on her lips. "Now, where were we?"
But all Sakuragi could mustered was, "Who-who are you?"
At an instant, the smile vanished from the pretty girl's face. "I can't believe you forget me!!" The brunette said accusingly.
Sakuragi looked at her closely. And then...
"I know you!"
{Ten years old Sakuragi was walking sullenly in the park. An hour ago, his father was buried. In Sakuragi's young heart, his weakness caused his father's death. He knew that he could never forgive himself.
"HEEELP!!"
Sakuragi dashed at where the sound was coming from. He saw a girl about his age being bullied by the same kids who had beaten him up the day his father died. He was seething with rage at the sight of these bullies harassing a girl. He must avenged his father.
"LET HER GO!"
With blinding speed, Sakuragi ran toward the bullies and gave them a good lashing they would never forget. He didn't know what overpowered him but the only thing he saw was a group of boys running away in fright.
Sakuragi approached the girl and kneeled beside her. "Daijobu?"
The girl looked at him quizically. It was apparent that she couldn't understand him. Sakuragi saw that this girl was a foreigner.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you understand English?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes. Thanks for your help. "
Sakuragi help her stood up and warned her, "Be careful next time, ok?"
The girl was about to say something when Sakuragi's mother arrived.
"Hana! Hana-kun! You're alright!" Yui cried and hugged her son fiercely.
Sakuragi tried to wiggle out from his mother's embrace and moved to introduce the girl he had just saved.
"Oka-san this is...."
"Kathleen." the girl said quietly.
Yui offered her hand to the girl which the latter took heartedly. "I am very pleased to meet you, Kathleen."
"It's getting late. Maybe we should accompany you home," Yui offered. But Kathleen vehemently reject the offer. "No, thank you. I can manage. My house is just around the corner. Bye!" before Yui could reply, Kathleen ran as fast as her young legs would allow her.
"What a strange girl. Anyway, let's go home Hana," Yui said and took Sakuragi's young hand in hers.}
"You're Kathleen, aren't you?" Sakuragi asked.
Kathleen gave an excited squeal and proceeded to give Sakuragi another hug. "I knew you would remember!" she said before releasing him.
Henry moved towards Sakuragi. "Kathleen is the daughter of the British Navy Seal's commander. Your father was a very good friend of her father. I'm so happy that you two are quite acquainted, "
Hmmm, that explains her temper Sakuragi thought.
He took a long look at the girl and found that she was very pretty. Auburn shoulder length hair framed her oval face. Her green eyes were sparkling with happiness and her fine Grecian nose was perspiring a little because of the humidity and her excitement. Her bowshaped mouth was turned up in a beautiful smile. Sakuragi found himself blushing just by looking at her. Man, what a hot chick!
Feeling the eyes of everyone around him, Sakuragi introduced his uncle to his Shohoku teammates. After introduction, the team proceeded to their practice.
Kathleen was at the sideline with Haruko, Ayako, and Anzai sensei. Finally, she had met him again. She had to run away then because of strict orders from her father not to let herself be shown to Master Lance's son. But fate has another plan. Well, that was in the past now. She could be with him for a long time now because there's a big chance Hanamich would take the royal title. She let out a happy sigh.
Haruko on the other hand was quite confused. Seeing Hanamichi with girl caused a painful tug at her heart. She was angry at the girl for no reason. That's stupid. Why should I be jealous? I mean Hanamichi is my friend! Wait, did I just call him Hanamichi? Haruko shaked her head to get the image of Sakuragi and the girl out of her head. "I'm being stupid, "she whispered. Of course, she's just surprised that's all. Then she saw Sakuragi has the ball and said...
"GANBATTE SAKURAGI!"
"GOODLUCK HANAMICHI!"
At the same time, Kathleen and Haruko cheered for the red-head. Kathleen turned her head towards Haruko, an evil glare flickering in her eyes. Haruko inched away from the brunette.
Kathleen seeing competition shouted, "STAY AWAY FROM MY HANAMICHI!"
