CHAPTER 7: Whats Happening to Me?!
"That's my sixteenth point!"
A raven-haired player of Shohoku University shouted.
"Hey, stop the flirting!!"
A protective brother retorted.
Who would have thought that Rukawa Kaede was shouting this feat at Haruko Akagi. And who, in the whole Shohoku University, would have thought that Haruko Akagi would smile back.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was looking back and forth at the two. Wondering what had happened to cause the used to be non-existent friendship between the two to come out to life. Determined how his best friend did it, he jogged his way towards Rukawa who was running to the opposite side of the court, preparing for defense.
"Oi Rukawa! How come Haruko's not going ballistic at you anymore?"
//God, is that a sin?//
"We're friends now."
"Yeah right, that's what you've been saying for the past years.... Honestly man, she doesn't seem to mutually agree with you with the friend thing."
Rukawa just rolled his eyes.
"Well...we're mutually agreeing on that topic now."
Hanamichi's eye lit up suddenly. Too bad Rukawa didn't notice it, or he would've saw that Hanamichi was up to something. And whenever Hanamichi is involved in something, it always ends up in a disaster.
Hanamichi tried to tell Rukawa his plan when Akagi shouted at them.
"Hey, Rukawa, Sakuragi, you're not on the same team! Sakuragi, stop following Rukawa! Do you wana go back to the basics with Ayako?"
Sakuragi cringed at the idea.
"I thought so too. So get your soggy ass back to your position!!"
Not wanting to be the center of Akagi's "bully ness", as Hanamichi refers to it, he laughed out stupidly and returned to his position in offense. Rukawa just shook his head and decided to plan his next move to add on his 16 points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soon, the practice was over. Most of the players hit the shower, some for the fountain. Rukawa on the other hand went straight towards Haruko's direction.
//I won.//
Ayako, who was comparing statistics with Haruko, saw Rukawa approaching. She signaled him to wait for a minute causing Haruko's attention to turn behind her.
Rukawa held his breath for a moment. There was something about the way Haruko had turned her head in his direction. It made him think how different she look right now and how she used to look way back when she was still..."hating" him.
//Er...not really that waaaay back.//
Things would've been obvious for Haruko if only she was paying more attention at Rukawa's softened feature. Before Haruko could even notice it, Rukawa returned to his usual look. Whatever it is.
After some discussing, Ayako finally bid Haruko farewell but not without teasing Haruko and Rukawa about the unpopular saying that "the more you hate, the more you love" is true and that they are the perfect example for it. Being just human, both suddenly became interested with their shoes, embarrassed by the manageress comment, or more like teasing.. .Ayako only laughed and started to walk away towards Ryota's direction.
//Okaaay, what was it that I wanted to talk about?//
Luckily, Haruko would save Rukawa from his "I-forgot-what-I-wanted-to-say" situation.
"Hmm...I guess you won. Wow, that's an understatement! You've got 32 points written all over your name."
//I wanted to win the bet so I can spend more time knowing you.... wait!!! What Am I thinking?!//
"Ehehehe...well we did agree to set the bet at 25 but I guess adding seven more won't hurt. So when will we start on it?"
"How about--"
"Start on what?"
Haruko jumped back in surprise. Rukawa on the other hand elbowed the person behind him.
"I thought you hit the shower Hanamichi?"
Sounding more like a statement than a question. Hanamichi could only rub his abdomen.
"Ouch man! You gota be careful with my perfect abdomen!"
"It wouldn't be perfect if you're hurt."
Sakuragi stood up suddenly.
"Nyahaha, of course it didn't hurt! But what's with the act anyway? Ah-hah, you were getting back on me for teasing you about being homo-"
Another elbow. This time, it was harder.
"Ow-hey man!"
"That's for bringing up the topic, dao'ho!"
Sakuragi was ready to retaliate but a soft coughing from someone behind Rukawa stopped him short from doing so.
"Aaa Haruko, don't worry. It didn't hurt, really! Nyahahaha--"
"She's not worried you know."
"Alright, you wana fight?! I'll-"
Again, like a guardian angel, Haruko stopped Sakuragi from committing a would-be crime.
"Urm...right. You gota be thankful Haruko's here!"
Rukawa only muttered incoherent words under his breath, making Haruko arched her brow.
"What can I do for you Sakuragi? Here to ask for your stats?"
Sukuragi shook his head furiously. Well, he knows there's nothing much to talk about his stats.
"I was wondering what you two were talking about. It caught my attention, really."
"Why is that?"
"Yeah, why is that?!" Rukawa said, echoing Haruko's question.
"Well.... you two are not exactly the best of friends. Heck, you were an "anti-Mr. perfect"! Everybody's curious how this kitsune changed your mind."
Leave it to Hanamichi to be so damn big mouthed!
Haruko on the other hand smiled at Hanamichi's observation. He wasn't really a brainless git. She had also asked herself what had happened that day. Oh well, she knew that Rukawa was really a nice person. But to change one's "negative" point of view, which was the "view" from her whole junior high life, that fast. Something must've hit her. Bad.
"Well, since Rukawa and I are both involve with basketball and newspaper, we figured that it's unhealthy to work without settling our indifferences. We compromised."
"Gee, that's even more unbelievable. Settling indifference with Rukawa will take eternity!"
"Maybe you and I should talk about loyalty one of these days." Rukawa but in.
"Anyways, its settled now Sakuragi. So, what did you wanted in the first place? Don't tell me you preferred to come here than soaked yourself in the shower just to ask how the "impossible" became possible?"
Rukawa smirked. He would have agreed with her statement, but it didn't matter to him anymore. They were friends now.
"Well...actually yes. I did prefer to have this conversation that soak in the shower because the impossible became possible. And."
"...And?" Haruko and Rukawa said at the same time.
"I want to know what's up with you two. You seem to have been planning something. Pardon me but Rukawa here never spared a time to tell me his adventures."
"It's non of your business in the first place, dao'ho."
"Quit calling me that!"
"I'll call you whatever I want!"
"In that case, I can call you whatever I want too!"
"I don't think were on the same level in name calling."
"Ha! You wont like the name I have in mind for you yaoi supporter!"
"Am not!"
"Gori and kitsune, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!! Nyahahahaha!!!"
Haruko laughed. It's kind of weird just to think how two people who never stops arguing and teasing and killing each other to be the best if friends. And although Haruko was amused at duo's "incompatibleness", it was not the time to sulk on it. If she wont stops the now, they'll be missing two promising rookies this season.
"I really hate to break your "friendly match" but it's getting kinda late. You guys should hit the shower, really. We'll start tomorrow, it that okay with you Rukawa?"
"That's a good day as any. Where?"
Hanamichi wanted to but in. he was dying of curiosity and he wanted to join the conversation. But surprise-surprise, the blabber decided to just listen and ask Rukawa later what the talk was all about.
'Nyaahaha...this is my chance!' Hanamichi thought, ideas already forming here and there.
"How about my place?"
Rukawa and Hanamichi's reaction we're way different. Rukawa's was one of worry while Hanamichi's was one of hope and excitement.
Sensing Rukawa's discomfort, and sure as hell to what's the cause o it, Haruko assured him.
"By the way, Nii-san won't be around tomorrow. He has this paper work with Kogure."
"Hope you're not jealous with that kitsune! nyahahaha!!!"
Rukawa shot him a death glare. Sakuragi suddenly remembered that he's going to ask Rukawa for a favor later and decided to shut up. Haruko chuckled causing Rukawa to throw his hands in the air in exasperation.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. So, it's all set. Nii-san won't be home and you wont have to worry about his over protectiveness."
Again, Rukawa and Hanamichi's reaction were way different. Rukawa, who showed relief, suddenly remembered that Hanamichi was behind him. His mood suddenly dropped to negative. He didn't show it though. Hanamichi on the other hand was smiling like a moron. He decided that now is the best time to join the conversation by joining the plan.
"Can I come?"
Both heads turned his way.
//Noooooooo!!!//
Rukawa wanted to throw Hanamichi. Haruko on the other hand was surprised.
"I didn't know you were into newspaper Sakuragi."
Well she's right. Who would've thought that a person like Sakuragi would be interested in newspaper? No one of course. And it's true; he's not interested on it, not one bit.
'Who cares about the non-sense paper?! Haruko is there, it's better than any non-sense paper! nyahahahaha!!' Hanamichi thought.
//Maaannn, it sucks when you can read your best friends mind! I should have just called Haruko on the phone. Not that I'm being possessive about her or something mind you...//
"Sakuragi?"
"Uh...yeah?"
"I said, I didn't know you were interested with newspaper."
"Ahhh, there are many things you still don't know about me. Nyahahaha!!"
"Your lucky Haruko." Rukawa whispered.
Haruko shivered at the closeness.
"So can I come along?" Hanamichi asked again.
"I don't mind. You can tag along. Right Rukawa?"
//HELL NO!//
"Well, I don't know hmmm...."
Hanamichi knew what Rukawa was doing. But he decided to beg on his knees right now and get back on him later.
"I don't want to work on a serious matter with someone who'd be calling me names...really, I don't know."
Hanamichi turned to Rukawa and gave him a puppy dog look.
"Ugh...don't do that man!! It's irritating!"
"Aw c'mon Rukawa. I won't get in the way. I swear! I just wana see how you work on the newspaper thing."
//I wish I knew the day I met this dao'ho...then I can celebrate it as my personal self-declared Halloween!//
"Onegai?" Hanamichi went down on his knees.
"Oh alright, Haruko said she's okay with it so...I guess you can tag along."
The word embarrassing is clearly non-existent to Sakuragi. For if he knew it, he wouldn't be going around the gym, performing futile attempts at ballet while dancing his way towards the shower room. Of course male screaming could be heard all over, particularly Akagi's screaming.
"What do you think your doing you homosexual?!!"
Haruko and Rukawa could only stare in disbelief.
"I-I never thought that Sakuragi could do a ballet..." Haruko said.
Rukawa smiled, causing Haruko to curse herself for over speeding...for her heart accelerated in what seem like a law breaking speed.
"Ballet? I thought it was boogie."
The two could only laugh at their attempt to guess Sakuragi's dance number. Then Rukawa suddenly remembered that he hasn't thanked Haruko yet for the food and the company last Saturday.
//Now's the best time I guess.//
"By the way, I wanted to tha-"
"Oi Haruko! Lets go! I don't wana be around when the homosexual finishes his shower."
Haruko smiled while Rukawa shook his head, smiling. He wanted to say "thank-you" really bad but he decided that his time would come. Haruko waved at his brother direction.
"So, I'll be seeing you and Sakuragi tomorrow, okay? ja!"
After giving Rukawa a slight smile, Haruko started to walk in his brother's direction while Rukawa looked on. Just then, Haruko remembered something and turned to face Rukawa's direction again...only to find Rukawa looking at her intently. Rukawa noticing this suddenly shifted his view to his left, blushing slightly although not noticeable at where Haruko was standing.
'Was he watching me?' Haruko thought, confused.
Haruko shrugged the idea off. Maybe its just one of his traits that Haruko didn't find surprising. Well, he didn't really know Rukawa in the first place, didn't she?
Rukawa, although unsure, returned his view towards Haruko.
"I wana thank you for last Saturday. I enjoyed it, it was wonderful."
That caught Rukawa off-guard. He wanted to reply to that so badly...that he enjoyed it too. Unfortunately, after saying her "thanks", Haruko turned so suddenly and walked faster than she normally did towards her brother's direction. Upon reaching his brother, Haruko turned in Rukawa's direction and waved him good-bye. Akagi only nodded his head and Rukawa bowed in response then the two Akagi went on their way.
Rukawa could only watch the girl, who used to hate him so much, walk away into the night and out of his visions reach. Rukawa could only shake his head.
//What happening to me?! Aiyee, where are you?//
Rukawa raised his head, looking at the stars that were starting to appear in the red and orange streak clouds. Finding no answers, he made his way towards the shower room where he can find the comfort of Sakuragi's company. He smirked at this.
//Yeah right.//
