au: surprise! veniz and the shohoku

people will make their appearance! yay! please bear in mind that the song free

and easy is not mine but hamasaki ayumi's!

kainan (kiyota's classroom)

junta-sensei was shocked. he called kiyota to

solve the chemical equation and the board and kiyota just solved with correctly.

kiyota grinned at him and his classmates. his classmates couldn't help it but to

clap their hands in awe.

"y-you may seat now mr. nobunaga"

junta-sensei replied not eyeing kiyota. as kiyota returned to his seat, the bell

rang. junta-sensei picked up his papers and said, "remember your up coming

quiz this friday!" the class groaned upon hearing it but not kiyota. he

simply smiled and nod his head.

"i can't believe you're smiling

kiyota!" a classmate of his exclaimed. kiyota grinned and said,

"sorry, i just feel i can take any of junta-sensei's test and pass it with

flying colors!"

his classmate smiled and replied, "of

course, you're being tutored one of the biggest geek in campus! arika

fujisawa!" kiyota frowned and exclaimed, "i don't like what you've

just said! arika is not a geek!"

kiyota's classmate smirked and said, "but

she is kiyota! everyone knows it! she's a geek and top of that a teen-age dirt

bag!" kiyota grabbed the guy by the collar and threatened, "you call

her like that again and i'm gonna

eak your neck! arika is not a geek and more,

she's not a dirt bag! you got me?!"

the guy nod his head looking very afraid. kiyota

let him go thinking, "the nerve of him, calling arika like that!"

as he looked at the classroom door, there stood jin beaming at him.

corridor

jin spoke, "never thought you'd care for

her that much" kiyota gave him a look and said, "don't tease me jin,

that classmate of mine was being a jerk and besides he's been very rude"

"i am not teasing you kiyota, i was being

frank" jin reasoned out. "of course i would care for her, she's my

friend" kiyota exclaimed. as they stepped inside the cafeteria, they saw

arika seating on one of the corner tables writing something.

cafeteria

"yo arika!" kiyota called. arika

looked up and smiled. jin pat kiyota at the back and whispered, "see you

later pal" and went off. kiyota sat down next to arika saying, "by the

way, i got something for you" with that kiyota took out a black case and

handed it to arika.

"what's this?" arika asked. "open

it" kiyota replied winking at her. arika opened the case and gasped. it was

a

and new glasses. "k-kiyota..." arika stammered in surprise.

kiyota beamed saying, "like it? i asked

shi-chan what's the grade of your eyes and those glasses should fit

perfectly" arika looked at him and exclaimed, "this must cost you,

your whole allowance. are you out of your mind?"

"hey, it's the least i can do you know. i

mean ria

oke your glasses and i can see you're having hard time seeing without

them, besides, this is all for your tutorial lessons" kiyota explained.

arika looked at the glasses and said, "but this is too much..."

kiyota shook his head and exclaimed,

"nothings too much for me when it comes to kindness... now why don't you

put them on and let me see, if they look good on you" arika hesitated at

first but oblige. as she put then on, kiyota smiled and said, "there now...

see fits perfectly"

"how can i ever repay you?" arika

asked. kiyota whistled and said, "there's a practice game between kainan

and shohoku this afternoon... you can repay me by watching the game"

arika asked, "did you say shohoku?"

kiyota nod his head and replied, "yup, so how about it?" arika nod her

head and said, "all right i'll go, demo... veniz sakuragi studies there

right?" kiyota nod his head and said, "i'm going there for the game

not for her"

"usotsuki!" arika's mind

screamed at kiyota at the same time kiyota's mind screamed the same thing at

him. kiyota took out his chemistry book saying, "i think we better start,

recess will end anytime soon"

arika smiled a little saying, "okay..."

she knew that kiyota deliberately changed the subject.

after 20 minutes

kiyota closed his chemistry book saying,

"well that's for now, so i'll see you at the gym before lunch time"

arika nod her head and exclaimed, "i'll be there, demo... ria would

certainly be there too" kiyota sighed and said, "don't worry about

ria, seat beside me and she'll not touch you"

arika blushed and said, "i'll seat beside

you at the bus? kiyota, that would stir up gossip!" kiyota laughed and

said, "what to gossip about? we're friends and besides i need you to help

me on this quiz on friday, need more practice"

"i can see you're developing good study

habits now" arika replied standing up. "yeah, you're very

contagious" kiyota replied with a teasing tone. arika playfully punched him

on the arm and said, "baka!" with that she gave him a smile and left.

kiyota sighed smiling to himself.

kainan gym (before lunch time)

ria and her fellow cheerleaders were getting

ready to board the bus. tanya sighed and said, "too bad, we're on separate

buses" ria nod her head. as she was about to board, she saw arika fujisawa

running towards jin and kiyota.

"nani? she's coming?" ria

thought anger building up. arika smiled apologetically saying, "gomen ne...

misaya-sensei went overtime" kiyota shook her head and said, "nah,

we're just about to board the bus"

jin grinned and said, "glad you can make it

arika, common, let's get on" with that the three of the boarded the bus. "that

filth! she's going to come to the practice game and she's going to seat beside

my kiyota?! that bitch! i'll have her head, i'll make her pay!" ria

thought through gritted teeth and clenched fists.

shohoku gym

shohoku team with it's captain ball ryota miyagi

greeted the kainan players with the aura of let's-get-this-game-on-shall-we?

hanamichi stared at kiyota and exclaimed, "well what do you know, long time

no see monkey-head!"

kiyota smirked and exclaimed, "heh, looks

whose talking you red-head idiot!" arika who was seating among the

bleachers with the other kainan students thought, "so that's hanamichi

sakuragi, my he's very tall!"

the shohoku team went on their side while the

kainan went on their side. then the doors of the gym opened again. there entered

a girl with this gorgeously shoulder length red flaming hair dressed in a cheer

leading red and black attire.

"veniz!" hanamichi exclaimed. veniz

smiled and hugged

other saying, "

other! good luck on the game!"

hanamichi nod his head and asked, "where's kitsune?" veniz answered,

"he'll be here, don't worry" with that she walked up to the kainan

side.

ria glared at veniz and gave her a look from

head to toe. veniz noticed this snapped, "something wrong ria masahara? or

you're just being a pest again because we defeated you in the cheerleading

competition last year?" ria clenched her fist and said nothing.

"so that's veniz... she's so

beautiful... no wonder kiyota fell in love with her not that also, she got some

pure poison in her, demo... she looks like an angel... kirei" arika thought

staring veniz. kiyota eyed veniz and said, "hello there veniz"

veniz smiled at kiyota and said, "kiyota,

long time no see" kiyota smiled and asked, "so, hows between you and

rukawa?" veniz replied, "fine, we're doing great" as she said

this kaede rukawa arrived. as he walked in, girls from the shohoku side screamed

wildly.

"rukawa kaede... wow.... he's

handsome" arika thought blushing. veniz approached kaede saying,

"hello there kaede" kaede smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the

forehead asking, "no good luck kiss?"

veniz smiled slyly and gave kaede a quick kiss

on the lips and replied, "ganbatte ne shohoku ace!" kaede smiled and

walked up to hanamichi. hanamichi gave kaede a high five and exclaimed,

"let's do well today kitsune!"

kaede smirked and replied, "you got that odahou"

jin looked at kiyota who looked quite awkward and asked, "daijoubu

ka?" kiyota nod his head as he eyed kaede and answered, "i'm totally

fine"

rukawa kaede eyed kiyota and smirked. kiyota

clenched his hand and thought, "dammed you, i'll get you on court you

bastard!" arika could feel the tension building up between the ace of

shohoku and kiyota. "kiyota... you must really hate him huh?"

arika thought.

the whistle blew and the game ensued. arika

couldn't help but also to side with shohoku. shohoku was an amazing team. jin

smiled and thought, "shohoku is greater than before, they've improved

especially sakuragi. soon or later he might be shohoku's mvp"

then the girls of shohoku cheered, kaede has the

ball and kiyota was blocking him. arika stood up from her seat,

"kiyota!" she exclaimed. the kainan side cheered seeing kiyota giving

kaede a hard time to shoot the ball. "i won't give you a chance

rukawa!" kiyota replied.

kaede smirked and said, "you don't stand

against me..." with that he saw hanamichi coming from the other side. he

exclaimed, "yo sakuragi!" with that he passed the ball to hanamichi.

hanamichi caught the ball and did a jump shot. the ball went it.

"nani?!" kiyota cried.

"impossible!" sakuragi smirked at him saying, "ore wa

tensai!" with that he and rukawa slapped hands. jin thought, "even

their team work improved. rukawa and sakuragi assist each other very well, looks

like they've settled their differences and became the best of friends"

veniz and the shohoku cheerleaders did a

cartwheel and cried, "get, get, get shohoku!" arika's eyes

widened saying, "subarashii! veniz is a great cheerleader, greater than
