A/N: Okay, next chap up! WARNING: OOC-ness abound.

Mitsui woke up as the sun slip in his room. He looked at the ceiling deep in thought. Yesterday has been the longest day in his life. It all started when he and Fuuko accompanied Ganko in the train station. Then after that Fuuko challenged him on a one on one game of basketball. When she noticed that he was panting, she suggested that they take a break. And after that they had the longest talk they ever had.

Mitsui thought about what they have talked about, particularly to his sister's life.

"I still can't believe the things that happened to her. She has changed a lot, yet she didn't. Ha, I think I'm still sleepy."

Lets just say that Fuuko told Mitsui everything, okay? Yes, everything. Even her madogou and that she can control the wind, the UBS that she participated with her friends, etc. as in everything. I'm just a lazy gal who's lazy to type the details. Hehehe.

" sigh Fuuko has changed a lot in ten years. Before it's just her passion to beat Recca, but now she has a bigger responsibility that even her friend's life depended on her and her friend's hands. I still can't believe that she's now the goddess of the wind. Come to think about it, she IS like the wind, swift, vibrant, strong yet calming. She's like her element ever since." At this he smiled and was lost in dreamland when a scream snapped him back in reality.

"What the-" "Micchy, come down here and don't let the tensai wait. Open up."

Mitsui groaned when he recognized that voice and looked at the clock in his nightstand. "What in the world is that baka doing here at this time." He pulled his body up and went downstairs to open the door before the said baka destroy it. When he opened the door a swish came inside and a certain redhead baka flop himself in his couch grinning like an idiot that he is. He sighed and glared at the said visitor.

Meanwhile Fuuko's in the streets having her early morning jog. She is deep in thought as she recalled her conversation with his brother yesterday. "Mit-chan really changed a lot. He is not the same person ten years ago. He has changed a lot in basketball good and bad. His skills had improved but his stamina has gone low. Plus he became a leader of a gang. The ever-peace-loving Mit-chan. Time really changes people, I just regret it that I'm not there when he needed me most." She sighed. She was still deep in thought that she didn't notice the bike that was coming her way. When she noticed it though, it was too late but she still managed to leap from her spot but her landing is not clean that she had knocked down a trash bin.

She glared at the guy who caused her accident but she found out that the guy is already bicycling away from her. At this sight she fumed. She got hold of the trash bin that she had knocked down and threw it to the boy. She smiled triumphantly when she had hit the guy at the back of his head and he fell. But her smile turned into a frown when the guy only rubbed his head and got up to retrieve his bike. 'Impossible!'

She stomped her way to the guy to give him a piece of her mind. "Hey what's your problem you big mo-" She was surprised when the said guy faced him with sleepy eyes and stared at her. "Rukawa?"

The guy just stared at her blankly.

"It's me Fuuko Kirisawa. Mitsui's sister."

At this he glared at her. Fuuko smiled sheepishly, remembering the incident that happened the other night in the Ramen house. "Oh so you're still angry about that huh? Well I meant to find you and apologize, you know for punching you in the face."

He glared at her even harder. She sweat dropped and tried to explain her side. "Uhm, sorry okay. It's just you were laughing so hard and you won't answer me. And I'm really pissed that night. Gomen nasai."

They stared at each other for several minutes. Rukawa is waiting for Fuuko to move so that he can get his bike. And Fuuko is waiting for Rukawa's apology for trying to hit her before with his bike. Finally Fuuko had had enough. Realizing that she won't get any apology from the guy. 'Wow he really is the Ice Prince, just like what Mit-chan told me. He's even worse than Mi-chan.'

"Well I should be going now. Obviously I won't get any apologies from you for trying to hit me before while you're in your bicycle. And obviously you won't say anything about my apologies. You know what I'm glad that I threw that bin at your head. Serves an insensitive guy like you."

At this, Rukawa gave her the deadliest glare he can muster. 'So this is the person who disturbed my sleep? Nobody disturbs my sleep!'

Fuuko saw this and glared at him too. "Fine! Glare to me all you want. You are really a moron. Who in the world is stupid enough to sleep while riding a bicycle e? And who's even a stupid moron to be angry even if it's entirely his fault huh? Oh and I already apologized to you and you are a jerk who won't accept it. So I don't owe you anything now get it?" Fuuko's veins were threatening to pop out any moment now. The guy just stared at her. 'He is really getting to my nerves. I already told him what a pissed Fuuko is capable of doing so…I'll give this guy a lesson he won't forget.'

She walked in front of him and glared at him, sending daggers in her glare. Rukawa would have sweat drop and inch away from her if it were in his nature, but its not. So he just stood there almightily and stared hard at her. 'What's this girl's problem anyway? Did she really expect me to apologize to her? I didn't even know that she's in front of me. Besides she should have avoided me if she didn't want to be trampled by my bike.' But he really has a bad feeling about this, the way the girl is glaring at him. But just like before, he just remained stoic. Then it him, she punched him hard square on his jaw and the impact caused him to fell back to the ground.

Rukawa stayed at his place shocked, surprised and amused at what he received. 'Wow, didn't see that coming. I thought she'd slap my face or my head. I didn't expect her to hit me on my jaw. Damn, she's strong, very strong. Better not piss her again.' He stared up at her and he saw her smiling smugly at him, her hands on her hips and her eyes mocking me. He shook his head and nursed his jaw.

She stomped her feet leaving in her wake a smiling Rukawa. Wait, a smiling Rukawa? Wow, way to go Fuu-chan! That's twice now and it's just her third day in Kanagawa.

Rukawa smiled and stared at her leaving form. 'Hn. But she's cute when she's pissed. Wait, did I say cute, that tomboyish loud girl? And here I thought I was gay. She's just like that baka Sakuragi…' (!)

He stood up and went back to his bicycle. It's not his intention to follow her, but the way to the court is in her way too. Looks like I can take a look at her again. Maybe I can piss her again or maybe when my jaw's all healed and not throbbing. Fuuko on the other hand knows that Rukawa's behind her but she didn't bother to sneak a peek on him. She just continued her walk, hands behind her head looking up at the sky and an amused smile graced her lips.

Back to Mitsui's apartment, Sakuragi and Miyagi were about to go having finished what they came for when they spotted Fuuko. Sakuragi waved his hand excitedly and Fuuko saw this and wave back.

Fuuko ran to Sakuragi and paused to breath. "Sakuragi, I just want to apologize for what happened in the Ramen House the other night."

Sakuragi waved his hand dismissively. "Iie, don't worry it's my fault. I shouldn't have called you Fuuko-chan and drape an arm around you so gomen." Sakuragi said while rubbing his nape.

Miyagi and Mitsui just stared at him as if he'd grown another head. Sakuragi has been known not to apologize even if it was clearly obvious that it is his fault, but now…

"Ah, I almost forgot. Fuuko-chan," he paused and looked at her with questioning eyes, he sighed when she smiled at him and continued. "Yohei, my friend, gave me tickets to the amusement park. He said that it is his mother's gift to the whole basketball team for going to the IH and you're invited too. Can you come?"

"Sure if Mit-chan will come."

"Great then it's settled then. I'll just get Haruko-chan and Miyagi will get Ayako-chan. we'll see the two of you in front of the amusement park e?"

"Okay, oh I almost forgot. Hey Rukawa come here. You're team has just been given a ticket for going to the IH." Fuuko said as she looked behind her.

Sakuragi stood there and glare at Rukawa and Rukawa glared back. Then his line of vision caught Fuuko staring at him then at Rukawa then back at him. This time he held her stare and said goodbye. Again Mitsui and Miyagi were at lost of words, the second time that Sakuragi acted not like himself.

"Ah, I'll get Aya-chan. Ja!" Miyagi said while running, leaving a trail of dust.

"Oh Fuu-chan I've cooked breakfast. You must be hungry after your jog." Mitsui called as he came back inside the apartrment.

Just then her stomach rumbled. Her face flushed, she just rubbed her head and turned chibi. Then she saw Rukawa staring at her. "Ahehehe, ano Rukawa, would you like to go inside and have some breakfast?" "Hn."

------

After breakfast, yes Rukawa accepted Fuuko's invitation, Fuuko got herself a quick shower. When they were ready they got on their way to the park.

"Hey Rukawa, just leave your bike here." Mitsui said, having gotten over the shock when he saw Rukawa eating breakfast together with Fuuko. Rukawa settled his bike and they're on their way. When they were halfway to the amusement park Rukawa fell asleep, again.

"I don't believe this guy. Mit-chan is this guy always asleep?" Fuuko asked as she noticed Rukawa's state.

Mitsui on the other hand was watching with amusement her sister and Rukawa walking side by side. He was deep in thought when his sister asked her question. It took him some time to process what her sister had asked. "Uh-huh. Except when he's playing basketball. When his playing he's wide awake."

He saw her sister nod hear head and resumed her walk, her hands behind her back. "Fuu-chan, I forgot to ask you. Do you have a boyfriend?"

After hearing the question, Fuuko tripped. She regained her balance and is now facing Mitsui with red face. "Nani? Why would you-" But before she could finish the sentence, she saw something in the corner of her eyes.

Rukawa who is sleepwalking tried to cross the street just when a car was fast approaching him. The car could have hit him if it weren't for Fuuko's quick reflexes. She managed to push themselves in the sidewalk just before the car swoosh them. The push caused Rukawa to wake up. And is now having his nobody-disturb-my-sleep mood and was about to hit Fuuko. She could have been punch in the face if it weren't for her quick reflex, again. She managed to get out of Rukawa's way and with steam coming out of her head, she Gori-punched Rukawa and stomp away.

"Huh?" Rukawa now fully awake is still unaware of what happened.

"Baka!" Mitsui snapped at him.

"Huh?" He looked at Mitsui and is more confused than before.

Mitsui sighed deciding that this sleepy baka would just ask him 'Huh' if he didn't explain anything. With controlled temper, his words coming out of gritting teeth, he explained. "My sister just saved you from a car when you decided to sleepwalk in the middle of the road. Then after that you just gave her your 'nobody-disturb-my-sleep' punch and almost hit her in the face." Then he sighed again and with a smug look he continued. "But gotta hand to Fuu-chan, she got quick reflexes…" Then he resumed his walk.

"Hn." And Rukawa also continued his walk. But no longer than a minute he was in dreamland again. Luckily no incident like before happened.
