The Fire that still Burns

A/N: This Chapter Is dedicated to the reader's back story. Sorry if I got some Inazuma Eleven details wrong. The story was requested by a friend in the IE fandom, I only know little about IE. You see, I only started watching IE a week ago but don't worry! I'll do my best to know more about the IE characters ! Gomene! Also First story in IE ! Ahihihi.

I do not own Inazuma Eleven.

Chapter 1: Burnt to Ashes.

"Say something..."

The tears continued to cascade down her cheeks as she waited for a reply. Dark black eyes stared at her figure as if her confession to him fell on deaf ears.

"Gouenji..." She managed to let out another trembling murmur.

"(F/N).. It can't be" And with Stoic orbs, Gouenji finally had the strength to answer.

"But.. Why.." The sky suddenly went dark as if (F/N)'s emotions were synched with the weather, Weak raindrops started to fall.

"Look, It's going to rain. Just go home already and forget about your feelings" The boy didn't risk another glance and just turned his heel and began to walk away, leaving the crying (F/N) alone. Even if he'd acted like he didn't give a damn, In the deepest reaches of his heart, he did care for the girl who once stood in front of him, who just bravely confessed the feelings that she had. But No, He denied her love. Romance has never been his style, And it will forever be not his cup of tea.

(F/N) stood there as she watched her world slowly shatter and the bits of insanity that remained slowly drifted apart. She screamed in the pouring rain, falling to her knees and her sobs resounded throughout the field.

It was foolish of her to think that their Graduation day was the perfect day to announce her feelings to the Platinum haired boy, knowing that tomorrow she would leave the town to study in another country.

"Maybe he was right, Go home and forget all of my feelings.."

"(F/N)! Wake up! We're already in Japan!" A girl with blonde hair shook the sleeping (F/N) rather harshly. The (h/c) girl just groaned sleepily in response.

"(F/N)!" And then the palm of the blonde went flying to the sleeping girl's face, causing poor (F/N) to scream in pain as her eyes fluttered awake.

"SAKI! God Damn it! Every FREAKING time!" (F/N) gently cupped her right cheek, which was now turning red because of the impact. The girl named Saki just shrugged.

"Couldn't help myself! It wasn't my fault you were such a sleepy head" They both let out a hearty chuckle.

"Well?" The blonde asked.

"Last one to Inazuma Town will EAT a rotten egg!" (F/N) Announced as she quickly collected her luggage. Saki following shortly with a "WTF is she up to" expression on her face.

Xxxxx

"I-Inazuma Town!" (E/C) orbs sparkled as they scanned the whole scenery. (F/N) excitedly skipped off the bus.

"Why so hyped? I thought you hated this town" An unenthusiastic voice came from a more unenthusiastic owner. Saki glared at the super energetic (H/C).

"That was the past, Saki! Move on Already! This is like home to some of the players who are in INAZUMA LEGEND JAPAN!" (F/N) almost screamed, catching the attention of some passers-by.

"Isn't that (F/N) (L/N)" One whispered

"I'm sure it is!" A man brought out his phone and took a snapshot of her.

"(F/N) I think they've found out-" but before the poor blonde could even finish her sentence. The (H/C) girl dragged her out of the bus stop.

"Come, Saki! We have a lot to do!"

"Like attending your Pictorial?"

"EXCEPT TH-Umpf!" It was a habit of hers to maintain eye contact when talking to someone. (F/N) was too busy conversing with the blonde and didn't mind to look at the way, causing her to bump into a person, (F/N) fell back and lost her balance, landing with a loud "THUD!" And a high-pitched squeak.

"Are you okay?." A familiar deep voice rang through (F/N) 's ear. At the sound of his voice, She immediately opened her eyes which were once shut tight. The sight which greeted her was a hand outstretched, offering help. The owner had long platinum hair, which was tied into a ponytail, tanned skin and stoic dark black eyes. These traits were kind of familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on who own it.

"Ah, I'm fine" She gladly accepted his hand. With the man's help, The girl stood up and straightened her skirt while the man's eyes scanned (F/N)'s face and the (E/C) girl could feel his gaze on her.

"You kind of look familiar.." The Platinum-haired man said, making the girl gasp.

"As so do you.." (F/N) replied. An awkward silence filled the air, the two trying to remember who was standing in front of them.

"Look at the time! We have an important meeting to attend to! Please excuse us!" Saki, who was standing on the sidelines, rudely barged in, pushing away the girl.

"Uhh B-Bye! I think?" The (H/C) girl bid goodbye and as for the man, he just nodded in acknowledgement before going their separate ways.

"What the hell, Saki!"

"The man almost figured you out! I told you, we should have gone straight to the Studio!" The blonde sighed while (F/N) clicked her tongue in response.

"Bossy Manager"

"FAT MODEL"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"Nothing.. I SEE THE STUDIO. " Saki ran while (Y/N) followed swiftly. The girl looked back, hoping that the mysterious man was still there, but to her dismay, She found none.

Xxxx

"Weird.." Gouenji murmured.

"I think I've seen her before..."

Chap 1 END.

A/N AGAIN:

(My Thoughts on Gouenji being a boyfriend LOL)

I don't think he'd be a fan of PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION. If he had a girlfriend, I picture him as the cool boy who walks with her girl to the shopping malls, buys her ice cream, hang out in a cafe, Walk on the riverside. You know, things like that? No, No. He won't even hold her hand or sling an arm around her. Just hands in his pocket, smile, nod, share thoughts bla bla bla. Hugs and kisses are done in private and only WHEN NEEDED. For example, when the girl has a problem and she needs comfort. He'd keep his relationship a secret, though, BUT HIS FRIENDS WOULD SURELY FIND OUT QUICKLY THROUGH *ehem* STALKING *ehem* INVESTIGATION. Amarite? AMARITE?

So that's how I see Gouenji when he's in a relationship.

Saki over and out.
