Chapter 2 : A Pleasant Meeting

(The Next Day)
In the evening, Sakuragi went to the neighborhood basketball court to practise. (The one which Sendoh and Rukawa usually played at) It was getting late and Shoko, decided to go and look for him as she was getting worried. (For the first time?)

She finally found him at the court, not difficult to find though, but she saw another figure at the end of the other court. She stared at the figure for a while and finally recognised him... ...She called for Sakuragi.

The figure was Takeshi, he was on his way home when he passed by the court and heard that there was someone dribbling and decided to take a look, thinking that it might be his son and they could go home together.

He started to head for the direction where Sakuragi and Shoko were. As he walked nearer, he found the lady to be familiar and suddenly shouted," Shoko?" But it was Sakuragi that turned back and was shocked to hear someone calling his mother's name.

' How does this guy know my mother's name?' Sakuragi thought, as he looked around the whole place, there were no one else except the three of them! ' So this guy was really calling my mother?'

Shoko tried to act as though she did not know Takeshi, but Sakuragi saw that her eyes had betrayed her and they seemed to be filled with passion... ... but Shoko quickly pulled Sakuragi away, walking as fast as possible.

When they reached home, Sakuragi could not help asking his mother about the stranger they saw at the court... ...

Sakuragi :" Okasan, you know the person just now right?"

Shoko:" Hei? Who?"

" The guy at the court."

" Hei? What guy? There is a guy there meh?"

" That guy! The one that shouted your name!"

" There is? Who?"

" The guy that nearly followed us home!"

" Who?"

" C'mon Okasan, tell me about him."

" Stop asking about Takeshi........."

" Oh....so you know him! C'mon, tell me about it. How did you know him? Your first LOVE? Okasan, tell me about it! I'm curious... ..."
