Chapter 9 : Truth (1)

Sendoh and Rukawa were dining at a restaurant. Rukawa had lost the match but he refused to treat Sendoh (^0^) so Sendoh had no choice but to treat Rukawa or Rukawa would go home(*sigh*).

Sakuragi was walking on the streets, after the training, and he happened to walk past the restaurant the couple were in. He was shocked to see the both of them together and Sendoh was actually feeding Rukawa!

Sakuragi's face turned red instantly and nearly barged into the restaurant to reproach the both of them but he went off instead. Sendoh sensed that someone was watching them so he looked up, but only saw something red passed by.

Rukawa turned to Sendoh and asked him what happened, but Sendoh replied nothing and they continued their meal.

The day before Shohoku High Basketball team went for the competition.

Shohoku High School Basketball Training... ...

Rukawa went back to the locker room to get his stuff as he had a meeting with Sendoh later. Sakuragi came into the room as he left his towel inside and was surprised that Rukawa was in the room too. His face nearly turned red and he bacame nervous but Rukawa had no respone at the sight of Sakuragi.

When Rukawa was about to leave the room, Sakuragi suddenly made up his mind to tell Rukawa before he regretted, since they seldom had a chnace to be alone in a room together.

"Rukawa," Sakuragi uttered,"I have something to tell you."

Rukawa stopped at the door and plainly asked,"What?"

A long pause.

Sakuragi then said," I like you."
