The sun shone brightly outside, the light seeping through the glass windows of the inn where the Shohoku team were training during the summer holidays. The rooms were empty and before the team had set out for their morning jog, the matresses and blankets were cleared dutifully by Akagi's orders so the caretakers needn't do much except sweep the room clean and open the windows to allow fresh air to enter. One room which was not empty, however, was the one where Hanamichi, Rukawa and Miyagi resides. Out of the three only one was not present but definitely not missed, since what the two juniors were doing would undoubtedly leave the piearced-ear second year traumatised for good.

It was warm outside and with the windows and door shut, inside it was hot. Two glistening bodies moved in tempo reaching for a desperate release until one of them broke the furious rythm with muffled cry. The other too reached his release with a gratified groan, before opening his arms to welcome the flushed body of the redhead's. The brunette's legs which were wrapped tightly around the redhead's hips finally slipped down and lay on the matress. Their pants rung clear in the room but they did not have to worry about anyone hearing them since the two timed their meet right so that everyone would be far away out of hearing range of their room. The caretakers would be out shopping for groceries or cleaning the other end of the inn and the only visitors that weekend were the Shohoku highschool basketball team. Hanamichi has feigned sickness half-way through the jog and he later managed to accost Rukawa when Akagi was busy trying to save Miyagi who was being fan-slapped by Ayako when she thought he was trying to crop a feel when actually he was trying to flick a millipede off of her behind.

When the two juniors reached their room, they didn't waste too much time in pulling off their jogging gear before they began kissing and groping as if they haven't done that for years. It was more like a week actually, but who could blame them since they were young, horny and have just discovered the joy of sex. Despite their rivalry and opposite personality, they couldn't dismiss the growing attraction between them. A night of alcohol and a game of truth-and-dare blew down the first wall of resistance and the morning after only strengthened their new and explosive but fragile relationship. That and the brain-splitting hangover.
Rukawa might be the strategist and seducer when it comes to luring the redhead to bed but Hanamichi was not short of being cunning when it comes to the act itself as he always without fail manage to torture the fox-eyed boy mercilessly with his built-in intuition to tease at the right spots at the right time. It was as if he was born a sex siren in his past life. What little bit of siren personality Hanamichi brought with him in this life, Rukawa was only glad to be the one to have waken it up. Not minding the weight of the redhead on him, the raven-haired boy gripped Hanamichi tighter as both of them tried to catch their breath and wits.

"I'm crushing you, kitsune," rasped Hanamichi in Rukawa's ear.

"'Don't care," he whispered as he rubbed their wet cheeks together.

After regaining some of his strength, Hanamichi propped himself up on his elbows and looked down at Rukawa's face lovingly. No matter how many times this has happened, he still found it hard to believe that he, Sakuragi Hanamichi, was able to strip off the usual cold and impassive face of Rukawa Kaede into a look of warmth and satisfaction. Hanamichi grinned. He shouldn't be surprised. He is the tensai after all.

Rukawa unwrapped his arms from around Hanamichi's body and lifted his hand to bring the redhead's face down for a kiss. The way the redhead was able to caress and wind Rukawa's soul with his lips and tongue made the fox-eyed boy hard again. He wished for another heated and passionate session - this time the redhead as the one being taken - but knowing that the team would be back soon he pushed that need away. Maybe until tomorrow, if luck was with them.

The raven-haired boy heard a sound but it was secondary to the feel and smell of the redhead on top of him. When Hanamichi's broke their kiss, only then did he react to protest but the growl was stuck in his throat when he realised that they had an audience.

Akagi Haruko.

The redhead on top of him made a strangled sound while the girl's face turned from white to flaming red. Not even a sweet and innocent girl like her could misunderstand what was going on before her very own eyes.

The two teenagers were buck naked and with their flushed faces and Hanamichi's shocked expression, Haruko could clearly imagine what they have been doing alone in the room. Although she has not been in this situation before realised that the musky odour in the confined area was the smell of sex.

"S-Sumimasen!" apologised the girl, sliding the door shut hurriedly, not wait for anything or anyone as she ran away from the room. She was too stunned to consider her surroundings when she nearly collided into Ayako who was walking in the opposite direction.

"G-Gomen nasai, A-Ayako-san," stammered Haruko as Ayako tried to steady the younger girl down.

"What's the matter, Haruko-chan?" asked the manageress in worry.

"N-Nothing," answered Haruko.

"Are you sure?" Ayako pressed.

"Uhn!" Haruko nodded furiously, "Doijoubu!"

The senior eyed the girl curiously before letting the matter drop with a shrug, "Ok, if you say so. How was Sakuragi by the way?"

"S-Sakuragi?"

"Hai."

"He-he's fine..." Instantly, Haruko's face went red again.

Ayako looked at her again before snapping her fingers with a crow, "Souna! You saw him naked did you!"

Haruko gasped, "Nani?!! You know about that?"

Ayako laughed, "I guessed right! Haha!! It is summer and since Sakuragi said that he seemed to be running a temperature I guess that he might have taken all his clothes off. I hope you told him to cool down with a wet towel..."

"I-I..."
With Rukawa under him, Sakuragi would need more than a wet towel to cool him down...

Ayako waved a hand, "Nevermind. I'll tell him myself."

Before Ayako could take a step, Haruko has gripped her by the arm, "No! I mean, hai, I've already told him about that. Let him dress and he'll probably come down for breakfast."

Ayako cocked her head, "Alright. Just make sure he comes down to eat ... or you can bring his meal to him if he's too weak - though I doubt he would miss a chance to eat ..."
The curly-haired girl shrugged again, "Anyway, have you see Rukawa anywhere?"

"R-Rukawa?"
Again, Haruko blushed.

"Aa," Ayako nodded, puzzled at the girl's behaviour, "Rukawa. He went missing during the exercise. I'm getting worried. If I don't see him after lunch, I'm going to get Akagi send out a search team."

"Oh," said Haruko pretending to remember something, "I think I saw him just now outside the inn asleep. I'll fetch him later."

Ayako sighed, "Of course. Make sure he doesn't hit you or anything."

"Hai," Haruko nodded, grateful that Ayako believed her. When Ayako was gone to round up the other players for breakfast, the brown-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard a door slide and when she turned around she saw Hanamichi and Rukawa walking out of their room, of course, fully dressed. No one would know what they have been up to unless one knew what they meant to each other especially seeing them with their bruised lips, hastily finger-combed hair and red-tinted cheeks. Hanamichi saw her first and he was rooted to the spot, staring at her like a child being caught red-handed stealing a lollipop. For the first time seeing Hanamichi's and Rukawa's body without any stitch of clothing made her see that they possessed amazing physique of atheletes. Yes, she knew that they were strong, swift and agile as basketball players but underneath those clothes were bodies hard and muscled than she has ever imagined. After her initial recoilment of seeing two naked males entwined and kissing with one another, she then felt the wonder of it. If she had first seen the beauty of even the slightest passion between them rather than a rude awakening of sexual acts, she might probably be more receptive of the idea of the two of them together.

Haruko held her breath as Hanamichi walked up to her in embarassment. Rukawa followed but he didn't stop walking even when Hanamichi stopped right in front of her with an expression of resolutement. Rukawa nodded once to the girl before he disappeared, one could guess, to have breakfast with his other team-mates.

Before Hanamichi opened his mouth, Haruko knew why he stayed behind. It was the time to talk.

"Haruko-san... I'm sorry..."
