Disclaimer: None of Slam Dunk characters or events came from me, but I love them nevertheless! However, Kimiko was drawn up by me, so she is solely mine!
Hope you will enjoy my story (my very first fan-fic!), do let me know what you think! (too short...too boring etc.)
It was lunchtime in Shohoku high school. The canteen was crowded and noisy with students.
Ayako, year2 student, and manager of the basketball team was enjoying her lunch with her group of friends. "Hey Ayako, want to go shopping after school? I want to take a look at this new shop that just opened...Kimiko's coming too!"
"No thanks, Rei, I've got practice remember?"
Kimiko Shikitei, Ayako's best friend, who was laughing at Ayako's last joke, stopped abruptly. Her face took on a thoughtful expression. Ayako noticed the change in the mood of her friend, "Kimiko?" she asked in concern.
Without thinking, Kimiko blurted out, "Have I told you how great you guys were during the IH competition?"
"You watched our games? How come you never told me," Ayako was surprised, "You want to come and watch our practice sometimes? Than I will have help to chase away those Rukawa-crazy girls."
Ryota Miyagi chose this moment to walk over...ignoring the giggling and teasing looks from other girls at the table; he started to talk to Ayako. Inwardly, Kimiko sighed, he should just ask Ayako out instead of making up more lame excuses to get her attention...he already had her attention for a long time now...do they enjoy torturing each other so much? Weird couple.
I should know about being weird... Kimiko barely listened to what Ryota was saying, her attention caught by a group of tough-looking guys nearby. They had just stood up, "Mitsui-kun!!!" they shouted.
The object of the 'affections' blushed. Kimiko almost laughed aloud as she watched Mitsui Hisashi's face turned beet-red...as it always does when he was embarrassed. He walked over to the Tough guys, ('Shut up!' he grumbled) and kicked them in their butts before sitting down to gulp down his lunch.
Within minutes, he was up again. Kimiko knew where he was heading. Ever since he rejoined the basketball team, he had been heading to the running track after lunch. His followers trailed behind him reluctantly, having only finished half their lunch...well, at least they weren't terrorizing other students anymore.
Kimiko quickly looked down at her half-eaten lunch as she realized that Mitsui was going to have to walk past her table on the way out.
Unfortunately, Miyagi decided to call out to Mitsui as he walked past. "Hey Michi, don't tire yourself out before training later!"
"I'm not an idiot like you! Also, although you are the captain now, you still have to call me 'Mitsui-sempai'. Hi Ayako, is this idiot bothering you?"
Ayako, used to the squabbling between the two friends, easily replied to Mitsui's greeting, "Mitsui-sempai, Miyagi's right though, try not to injure yourself ok? You guys are always making me worried... I've got good news...another helper to help chase off the Rukawa fan-club, right Kimiko?"
Startled, Kimiko looked up to see Mitsui staring at her. Oh no, why did Ayako have to mention me? "Er, sorry Ayako," Kimiko said, "I've already promised Rei to go shopping."
Were her eyes playing tricks on her, or did she detect a flicker of disappointment crossing Mitsui's face before he walked away?
How did you find the story? Do let me know what you think! Basically, this story is going to be more about Mitsui and the problems that he faces.......who is Kimiko and how is she related to Mitsui? Stay tuned...
