"Have no fear, the tensai is here! NYAHAHAAAAA!"
The occupants of Shohoku's gym all turned in the direction of the boisterous laughter to see Shohoku's self-proclaimed tensai making his grand, and very loud entrance through the gym doors.
"Oi Hanamichi! You're back!" Miyagi greeted, followed by similar exclamations as everyone crowded around the grinning redhead. Rukawa lingered behind, surprised by Hanamichi's sudden return. Though he was extremely happy to see that the redhead was back, he also felt a slight twinge of hurt. He hadn't known that Hanamichi would be returning today, and he wondered why the other boy hadn't told him, though they talked as often as possible.
"Oi Ryochin! Still short, I see!" Hanamichi laughed amidst the crowd.
"Ch." Miyagi fumed.
"Oi baka! Don't talk to your new captain that way! Show some respect!" Mitsui shot back, half-laughing himself.
"Mitchy! Shouldn't an oldie like you be retired like Gori and Megane-kun?" Hanamichi grinned. Mitsui's smirk turned into a scowl.
"Welcome back Sakuragi-kun!" a high-pitched voice said. Hanamichi instantly whirled away from Mitsui, his hand rubbing the back of his head as he blushed like a tomato.
"Ha-Haruko-san!" the redhead stammered.
In the back of the gym, Rukawa turned away, gripping his basketball tight.
"Ne, how's your back Sakuragi-kun?" the girl asked.
"I'm in perfect condition! Ready to lead Shohoku to victory Nyahaha!"
"Sakuragi Hanamichi!" another feminine voiced interrupted. "How come you didn't tell us you were coming back today?!" Ayako demanded.
Rukawa slowly turned back around, curious to know the answer himself... and found honey-brown eyes staring directly at him.
"What? Didn't you like the tensai's surprise?" the redhead grinned. Rukawa felt a small smile creep up onto his face.
"Do'ahou."
Hanamichi pushed his way through the throng, marching straight up to the raven-haired boy.
"Kitsune."
And to the surprise of everyone in the gym, Hanamichi smiled, and the two boys high-fived each other.
