Chapter 1

 

Rukawa Kaede looked at his watch. Nine fifty-five in the evening… and its raining, hard. He was already soaked wet but he ignored it.

“Nobody would be there at this late hour”, he thought. From the park where he stood and waited for three hours, he slowly started to walk.

It was just two days ago and he still vividly remembered their game against Kainan. How everyone played their best and stood there until the final whistle… except him. Him, who was the weakest of them all, lost to himself. Even Akagi managed to last until the game was over, even Mitsui-sempai managed to last. So why couldn't he? He was so ashamed of himself that time that even coach Anzai's compliments didn't uplift his spirit.

He was reminiscing so deeply that he nearly passed by his school. He stood there for quite sometime. His turtleneck almost clings to his body due to the hard downpour of rain. His body was so numb that he already couldn't feel his own hands.

He slowly opened the gate and went straight to the gym, again slowly thinking of what had happened that fateful day.

 

 

Mitsui was in no mood for staying under the rain all night, he was already starting to feel cold and tired from the practice game so he went to a nearby 7-11 to buy a hot coffee.

While enjoying his coffee, Mitsui recalled what had happened during that day. Kainan was a really strong team but fighting against the champions of the Kanagawa district for sixteen years was something. And finishing the game only with the opponents gaining a 2-point lead was, for him, a very good fight.

Then he suddenly realized that Sakuragi wasn't in their practice game today, even Rukawa. That made Mitsui smiled inwardly. Sakuragi thinks that he should be the one to blame for their loss against Kainan, though he shouldn't. He put up a good fight knowing that he can't defeat Kainan alone, only with the help of lay-ups and slam-dunks. Still, he managed to survive. And as for Rukawa, he thought that the lad may still feel lazy from getting up, tiring yourself due to the game was a good excuse.

Mitsui was deeply contemplating when he remembered that he left his dirty clothes in the locker, forgetting it due to his agitation from his headache. He thought that he can leave it there for tonight and pick it up tomorrow, but tomorrow is weekend and nobody would be in school. Damn.

He reprimanded himself inwardly, blaming himself for his clumsiness.

“Oh well”, Mitsui muttered. Shohoku was only a few blocks away so it wouldn't take much time. He quickly drank his coffee and went back to school.

 

 

Rukawa was lucky enough to find the gym unlocked so he went inside, leaving trails of water in the floor. Walking through the corridors, he didn't know where to go, so he grabbed the first doorknob he could find unlock and would stay there.

He then found the locker room unlocked so he went inside and sat down at the corner of the room hugging his knees like a lost child. Soon enough his mouth was already trembling due to coldness. He wanted to stand up and turn on the lights for some warmth but his body would not move.

“Damn”, he murmured under his breath.

He was already starting to lose consciousness when the lights flew open. Rukawa quickly averted his gaze from the lights since his eyes were starting to adjust when he heard someone talk.

“Rukawa? What are you doing here?”

“Mitsui-sempai.” Rukawa uttered.
