Cute but somewhat hangging in the end...
I'll live with it though...
Thank for sharing this to us...!

Aw, that was really cute and not overly sappy. Perfect amount of fluff (o)

I just wish that Rukawa called him "Hanamichi" instead of "Sakuragi" at the end. That's just me though _

i loved your story! i hope you'll write a sequel! thanks! ;-)

Wow... I loved this fic! It's kind of angsty, looks like they were both depressed (i mean the mental disease) :P, but the ending was just amazing ;). I enjoyed a lot while I was reading it, you picked the correct words, the correct phrases so it wasn't a heavy reading nor a crappy one ;). Very nice fic! :D congratulations, I hope you keep on writing -

beautiful, as all your SD fics are. (i only read SD here lol). continue the rest of your unfinished fics please! *teary-eyed*

*smiles* The fic is so sweet. Though, Rukawa without basketball is kinda strange.

Very cute. Though Rukawa without basketball...

This fic started off as what I would normally read on RuHana fics but your telling of their meeting has a nice beginning and with a nice subtle ending to their relationship.

I particularly like this one:

After a few attempts to pull us apart, the officer succeeded in going in between me and Rukawa. We sat together, the three of us, on that street, tired pants coming from all of us.

*lol*

aw, so sweet! .
I really liked this fic, it's got a different POV, very interestin. Write more ruhana, please! _

sugoi!

Great story! I'm a bit disappointed that both Rukawa and Hanamichi didn't play basketball though. Anyway, I really like it!

ne Che-chan.. i haven't reviewed this one yet, na? i really loved this. *sighs* you're such a great writer, you know that? i'm sure a lot have told you that already _. but it is true, i swear. so keep it up ne?

btw, you're one of my favorite SD fic writers _ i just love you and your works .

Sugoi story. I really liked it. You showed a side of Hana that is rarely seen. Great character portrayal and that was a killer ending.

Please consider writing a sequel. Keep writing!

Luv Trini-chan xxoo

waaahhhh! This is a good one! I like it, you got the comprehension nicely in order, make it easier to read. And you got the characteristic and chemistery going on between the two characters. And I like this one... One paragraph that was so obvious in the manga/anime, but I believe you are the first one that said it here.

" I played basketball for Rukawa, and Rukawa alone"

awwwwwwwww... that was so so good! that POV fic of sakuragi was very different from others. you were able to explore most most innate self and from that, you have drawn out a personality, a thought that might actually played in his mind during his high school life. this 'aftermath' you made depicts life after basketball, life /besides/ basketball, and life looking forward for something /more/ important than basketball. and with the insertion of rukawa, you made that very plausible, making the story's plot flow smoothly and different from others. you were able to reveal a new sakuragi hanamichi with new realizations and deliberations. keep it up! nicely written! _
