Chapter 1 : Rukawa... ...

It has been a month since Rukawa and Sendoh had a good talk. After the match with Sannoh, Rukawa had been busy for the basketball practice [ he was in the Japan Basketball Team ].

After a while, Rukawa placed the glass down and picked up his backpack, and just went off.

"Stupid Sakuragi!" shouted insted Rukawa's mind, and he started to think of what happened that faithful night... ...
