Here it is minna-san, Chapter 5 of What a Joke! Again readers, this was not edited. I'm just so lazy to do that. Anyway, sorry for the very very long update. I've just been busy these days.

Warning: This is just a piece of crap inside my head. If you're looking for something inlined with Slam Dunk's plot, I'm sorry this is not one of those fics.

Chapter 5: I'm not for you.

As you all know, we left Mitsui in a situation I guess none of us would ever dream of being in. While Kaouru proceeded with opening gifts (I know this sounds dumb), Mitsui looked for a place where nobody can see him and all his humiliating acts; luckily, he found the place he's looking for.

'Good thing this mansion's more than enough for everyone or I'll never find a place to avoid humiliating myself.' he thought rather relieved.

"Kami-sama, are you trying to tell me something? Letting these things happen, it's certainly not your way of having fun, right?" He thought out loud, looking at the skies above.

"Of course not." Someone replied in a matter-of-fact way.

He turned his opposite direction to find Kaouru standing near him, which he thought for about a jiffy to be Kami-sama himself.

"Rukawa-san…" he started, but then was cut off by a stare surely anyone would quiver to see. It's a stare he thought only the younger Rukawa had, only to find out his girl version has it too… the worse part, it's colder than the usual her brother gives. He never thought that a sweet girl he knew, could make him speechless as this just by the way she looks at him.

"Let me be honest with you…" she finally spoke. "…I'm not what you think I am."

She's not what you think she is. Those words that the younger Rukawa said to him not very long ago rang in his ears. 'I must be dreaming… I'm dreaming… This isn't happening… I must be dreaming… I'm dreaming… This isn't happening… I must be dreaming… I'm dreaming… This isn't happening…' he kept convincing himself. Only, he can never alter reality no matter how many times he refuse to accept it.

"I'm not dense… I know you like me… But this isn't a first time for me either. There were few guys like you, who thought the same about me. I didn't blame them.. so I don't blame you as well. But let me tell this to you straight – I'm not for you."

I'm not for you… I'm not for you… He kept on hearing her say it although his eyes deny what he hears, for he sees her lips not uttering a single word. She said it just once, but the emphasis she madeon her every word makes it harder for Mitsui to digest.

"It wouldn't have been like this if you didn't come here. You would've found out without hearing hurtful words. But you came… Though this is all Kae-chan's fault, you could've followed what he said to you and come tomorrow.. I don't blame you for not trusting what he said, you thought he didn't want you for me… The truth is, he wanted it to be easier for you. It's really stupid to see guys go crazy or do stuff they don't do just for a girl. It's really pathetic. Stupid and pathetic."

"Nee-chan…" They found the younger Rukawa not very far from where they are "…Sofu's looking for you." He said flatly.

Kaouru walked towards her brother and said an ice cold "he knows… you console him like the usual." then she left with composure as if nothing happened. Kaede just stared at her walking figure. Deep in his eyes, it clearly states why do you have to make him know this way.

TBC…

A/N: I know this is such a short chapter and I'm sorry for that. For me to finish this fic, I have to update and update and update, but I don't have the time. I thought continuing it with shorter chapters would be better than discontinuing the fic… and I don't want that to happen. For those Filipinos who reads Isang Tagalog Fic I'm sorry but I'll finish this story first before I continue doing that. I hope you guys understand… 'Till here, Miss Hachigatsu Kuroi
