I Was Reborn in Slamdunk as the Main Protagonist! But Why Am I Short!

CHAPTER FIVE

The dark-haired kid narrowed both of his eyes as he watch the kid his age jump and tried, well TRIED.. to shoot the ball into the hoop but failed miserably. He watch again as the red-headed boy get the ball and shoot again and again but failed to do so. He watch in amusement as he saw the boy scrunch his face to his attempt to shoot the ball.

After a couple of tries, the boy shouted in glee as the ball went into the hoop with ALMOST bouncing out.

He watches again as the boy who looks like he was younger than himself tries to shoot the ball. Well, he is amused by the way the red-haired boy grin and scrunch himself as he sees the ball go and bounce back the hoop.

'He sucks at playing..', is the only thing that pops up in his mind as he watches Sakuragi plays. 

He saw the boy take the ball in his hand and watch as he move to the side to rest happily. He watch as Sakuragi as he tried, take note TRIED to twirl the ball in his hand but failed miserably.

" hn"

Without knowing, the dark haired boy move his legs and walk towards the grinning boy on the other side. 

Sakuragi lift his head and turn his eyes to the dark haired boy who is walking towards him and lift one of his eyebrows.

'what is he doing here?? I thought he went away??', he thought as he scrunch his face in confusion..

The dark-haired boy walk towards him and stop midway looking down at sakuragi as he lay flatly on the ground. 

Silence surround them as the wind blew sweeping away little bit of everything in their surroundings.

".....", Sakuragi

"....", the dark-haired boy. The dark-haired boy stare at Sakuragi with his dark eyes as Sakuragi also stare at the boy.

The wind blew again for the second time and this time Sakuragi shivered silently.

'Damn, this is awkward', he thought. 'Why is he staring at me like that?', he mused

"E-er, Hi?", he started while he slowly sitting up from where he is laying on the ground. He just scratch his head from the little bit embarrassment of being seen laying on the ground. ' I wonder if he also seen me with my poor shot and dribble?', Sakuragi thought, 'W-wait what...?!'

'Is he here to point it out? He is not here to embarrassed me , is he?', he thought a little bit anxious. He thought of many possible things of why the boy was here and he cannot help to panic a little. 

The dark-haired boy just stared at his awkward actions with only a single thought, 'What's up with this kid?', with his head tilted a little bit sidewards

************************************************************************

Sakuragi scrunched his back a little bit awkward as he was stared by the boy. He didn't know what he was thinking as he was only resting here and playing with the ball and one thing he knows a kid came up to him.

"What?" And he stared awkwardly at the boy in front of him..

"That ball", the kid infront of him coldly said while still looking at him with those narrowed grey eyes.

"Huh, w-what?", He asked confused..

"I said, that ball is mine. Give it to me..", the dark haired boy said, and just like that sakuragi woke up from his stupor and gave the ball to him

"O-oh.."

The dark haired kid just took the ball and start dribbling to the ground while sometimes play the ball in his hand, sometimes spinning professionally like how sakuragi tried so many times ago but can't.
