You mean, Rukawa has a best friend?

Chapter Two

Rukawa wanted to throttle Sakuragi Hanamichi right now.

It wasn't that he hated Sakuragi, he even complimented him during a basketball game for goodness sake. It was more like Sakuragi hated him. Sure they fight with each other, fight a lot even in front of many people, including Kira and coach Anzai, but it was because Sakuragi always annoys him into it.

Kira knows Sakuragi through him, she sees him fight with him during basketball games and she hears him complaining about him, Sakuragi all the time, especially after games, which was about the only time that he strings more than one sentence at a time.

The reason of their fights was not unknown to Rukawa. Somehow, Sakuragi has it in his head that he is after his, Sakuragi's, love, Akagi Haruko. But Rukawa was not interested in her. As far as he was concerned, Haruko was just another one of those crazed fan girls that screams at every basketball game.

Besides, he already has a girl, Kira.

Wait.

What?

Over Sakuragi's shoulder, Rukawa'sconfusing and slightly shocking thought was interrupted as hecould see Mitsui and Ryoga bounding up following Sakuragi. Mitsui had plastered a large grin in his face, as he looked at the back of Sakuragi's head.

"Nice shot, Hanamichi!" he cried, laughing slightly, "great aim you-"

This was then the time that he noticed Kira, who was currently looking at him with a curiously.

"Hello," he said deeply, flashing what Mitsui seemed to think was a charming smile, which in essence it was. "I don't seem to know you."

Kira smiled back at him. "Oh, I know you."

"Really," he said, eyebrows slightly raised.

Kira nodded. "Hmm," she said, "You're Mitsui Hisashi," then she turned to Ryoga. "And you're Ryoga (can someone tell me what Ryoga's first name is? It's escaping me at the moment, sorry to all Ryoga fans! slams head at the table for punishment)."

Ryoga nodded. "Right," he said, "erm, how do you know us?"

At this Kira beamed at Rukawa. "Kaede told me," she said.

At this, all of Sakuragi's Ryoga's and Mitsui's eyebrows raised and all looked at him, quite rudely in his opinion.

"Who are you?" blurted out Sakuragi, a finger pointing just above her chest. Rukawa glared at the finger until it's accusing was dropped.

"My name's Kira," she answered. "Yamato Kira."

Sakuragi then turned his narrowed eyes in Rukawa's glaring ones.

"She you're sister?" blurted Sakuragi.

"Hn. No."

"Oh," said Mitsui, then grinned, "she your girlfriend then?"

"No."

"Cousin?"

"No."

"You can try friend," piped in Kira, looking at the three of them. "We're best friends in fact."

"You mean," said Sakuragi, who looked genuinely shocked. "Rukawa has a best friend?"

Rukawa continued to glare at Sakuragi. Why the hell is that so hard to believe? A lot of people have friends, and no one questions them about it, why should he be any different. "Is that such a crime?" he muttered. "Doahou."

"Well it is a little hard to believe Rukawa," said Mitsui reasonably.

"Yeah," agreed Ryoga. "You don't look the type."

At this Rukawa pouted, slightly. Why is that so bad? So he doesn't look the type, big deal, the point is he has a best friend. So why don't they just lay off and mind their own business like normal people?

"It's not that hard to believe!" cried Kira suddenly, a slightly pissed off look on her face. "I'm here aren't I? He's not running away from me like I'm one of is crazed fans! We've known each other for ten years so it's not his fault if you don't know about it. Now lay off!"

"Wait a minute there," said Mitsui backing away a step. Ryoga was actually waving a quickly made white flag in the air. Rukawa didn't know how he managed to make it so fast but he did know just how sharp Kira can be, and that wasn't even a warm up. "We didn't mean anything by what we said."

"Yeah," said Sakuragi. "Besides, Ryoga said it, not us."

"Hey!" cried Ryoga, staring at Sakuragi. "Don't act like you're all innocent in all this!"

Rukawa stared at the three of them as they had a staring contest. He didn't think that it was possible for three people to have a staring contest but apparently, they could. They just needed to know who to look at. A few more seconds and Rukawa decided that this was a waste of time and took Kira's arm.

Kira looked at him and smiled. "They like to fight with each other, ne?"

"You have no idea."

"Yeah, I do." she said, grinning. "I know just how well you and Sakuragi fight, and if that's always the case then I shouldn't be getting any peace when I'm around you lot." Her grin became wider. "That'd be nice, it breaks the monotomy."

"Hn." said Rukawa and started to walk away. A few more moments and he was joined by Kira at his said, who looked up at him, grinning.

"They looked like a lot of fun." she said.

Rukawa didn't answer.

Kira, being the right kind of best friend, for Rukawa didn't press him for an answer.

Yes, there are right kinds of best friends for the right kinds of people. You just have to know where to look.
