Notes: the fan fiction takes place in an imaginary second year of high school. Although the protagonists are
Hanamichi and Kaede (of course) I found myself writing this chapter from the point of view of a new (at least for me) character, Akagi. I did not know where to start for this story and when I found myself finishing the chapter I realized how it was coming, I liked it and I left so. I thought, Hanamichi examined from the standpoint of the former captain could well hit the theme of the chapter.

Just like sinning

"Whawhawha! They are the Tensai! Make way to the legendary, unique and inimitable genius of basketball! Permessooo "

Hanamichi, followed by his best friend, had arrived in the gym with quarter of an hour late and now she was great in the eyes of prospective new students.

"Doah" the usual low voice echoed those proclamations of genius thus triggering the daily exchange of jokes, insults and a brawl in the middle of the field. Despite

Akagi was no longer captain of the team, once graduated from college and now, it happened quite often he would go to visit his old comrades.

And fate would have it, that was one of those afternoons and who is against his will to relive the good old days, being so forced to quell the brawl of the two players.

"Ahio, gorilla, you're hurting me!" Roared Hanamichi.

"Nh ..." he just whispered through clenched teeth while Rukawa are arranged throughout the shirt is wrinkled.

"Do not ever change just the two of you, right? Still have not put a bit 'of salt in your gourd that, eh, Hanamichi? "Had accused the former captain.

Red pouted: "Excuse me, but why would you take it only with me, it is he who caused me! No one has done anything, is impinging more and then you're no longer the captain, "she said, believing it to replace it, but knew Takenori Sakuragi, had pulled up his own observations and those not had had any effect.

"This is true, but you should keep in mind that you are now in the second year and should be a guide for your Koah, not down to their level. If you want to take you from start to act like a leader, not only in words, but by demonstrating that you're worth with the facts, "he said, perhaps a little 'hard, but it was necessary.

Hanamichi the face: "Hey, I grew a lot in this period and they still respect me not because, unlike some, throw punches in the head for me to listen and obey, or, as someone else ..." and turned to look sideways Rukawa who had begun to pull himself to the basket, "... I fear a glance and keep everyone away. I are their friend, "remarked, moving away in the locker room to change into.

Akagi remained of salt: it was the first time he had heard that tone Hanamichi answer, of course, often had worse things said and done, but did not understand all the hatred he had felt in his voice. There was something wrong with him.
The sister, who that year became an assistant to Ayako, explained: "Big brother, do not take it, is so for several weeks, since returning from the clinic. I think it's a bit 'frustrated because even the coach did not allow him to play like the others and feels sidelined and replaced by new freshmen. "

Takenori nodded understanding, and, along with Ayako, sat on the bench see how Miyagi, who had replaced in the role of captain, if cavasse with the team and potential new players.

I take this opportunity to study the behavior of Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi as he saw in the field and confirm the theory that he had exposed his sister: he knew the temperament of Sakuragi, he was a boy full of life and energy, always ready to give their best, was headstrong and stubborn. Sakuragi of you could not really say it was like surrendering, after its famous fifty waste, began to court his sister, although this was clearly in love with Rukawa.
Or after the first, failed, attempt to make a basket with slam-dunk from keep in mind that it was the first time that Sakuragi was holding a ball-head that had not even given the board had failed to discourage it. On the contrary, undeterred had focused on the sport, coming to the same challenge Akagi, and despite the bad figures, had shown its worth, making a spectacular field goal and had a miracle and a mess for a beginner like red.

Hanamichi was flame, in every sense, was a major driver of the team in different circumstances, a faithful friend and loyal.
Sure, he was often exuberant and sin of pride, with its brilliant considered in all respects, touching ridiculous levels of presumption when it was clear that was not as he claimed.
But his way of being was not totally to blame, because Hanamichi was, so to speak, forced by events and his desire for revenge on his life had resulted in basketball. A new world for him, a challenge to win and that he had full control.

But this was not because, right from the start, between him and his goal-the success in basketball to get to the heart of Haruko-placed in the way they were, first, that he interfered with their great 'relationship' as Hanamichi wanted it and there was Rukawa always been.

first only a rival in love, then, after the crush Haruko, which still Takenori thankful not to have to have that earthquake-in-law, Rukawa had become something more: they were not only teammates, they were rivals in every sense, both proud and tenacious, Hanamichi, used always to be in the spotlight-not for nothing from his friends was considered a leader and beyond that they loved him as a brother-not bear the thought that there was someone who so blatantly counter.

But maybe even that was the right word, Rukawa not in contrast, simply ignored him and this was a blow to Sakuragi. She wanted at all costs that Rukawa was aware of him, noticing that his progress and recognize him as a good player, which, however, Kaede, was held far from done. So
Hanamichi screamed even more and boasted of its progress, because it felt too, did his best to attract the attention of the 'stupid fox' earning in return only words to resize it, and never satisfied. And it was

brawl: another sore point of his character, the irritability.

course, Sakuragi had a myriad of flaws, but a heart of gold and Akagi, a long time, he realized that his attitude Superman was just a way to hide the part that made him 'weak' and 'human'.

Fate there had been some light with the red and he had to compensate in some way to defend themselves, could not afford to be seen weak.

And now watching him train again in the core to one side, glancing to the field and sad sighing for that state of helplessness, included what was suffering for his condition.

"Captain ... you going?" Ayako asked when she saw him get up and go away quietly without saying goodbye to others.

"Yes ... let them work and keep them an eye for me, Ayako" is recommended prior to leaving the gym.
