NaCl: This was originally intended to be a one-shot...

Lil bro: (smiling wickedly) But...

NaCl: (glaring at lil bro) I couldn't fit the whole thing in one chapter...

Lil bro: (giggling) So...

NaCl: (one phrase: if looks could kill...) Its going to be one or more chapters...

Lil bro: (sniggering) Which means...

NaCl: STOP STARTING MY SENTENCES FOR ME! (chases lil bro)

Lil bro: (laughing, running) YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE! PRICELESS!

Kidou: (comes in) Um...what is going on?

NaCl: (stops) Ah...Kidou-kun...this is my new one-shot...

Lil bro: Technically not a one-shot...

NaCl: (nervous) Maybe you should leave, Kidou-kun...

Kidou: Why? Wait...it's not a creepy story where I die, right? That Ring Around the Rosies sent shivers down my spine...

NaCl: (not meeting Kidou's eyes) N-no...

Kidou: Then why?

Lil bro: (sniggering) This is going to be priceless...

Writer-chan tells him...

Disclaimer: If onee-chan owned Inazuma Eleven, she would make Kidou have a leg disease so he could stop chasing her...

NaCl: (panting) WHAT IS YOUR FREAKING PROBLEM, KIDOU-KUN?

Kidou: (chasing her) YOU LINKED MY LITTLE SISTER UP WITH THAT FREAK!

Fudou: (comes in) What freak?

NaCl: (goes up to him) He called you a freak, Fudou-kun.

Fudou: (murderous) WHAT!

Haruna: (comes in) Why is this place always a circus?

NaCl: Ah good, you're here. The story is about to start...

Lil bro: This is onee-chan's revenge against Kidou for putting that video of her being hyper on Red Bull on youtube...at the same time supporting her favorite pairing!


Fudou's POV

I'm now in my sophomore year of high school...at Inazuma High. It's been three years since I had first seen her...Otonashi Haruna. At that time she was a short talkative first-year manager of Raimon and I was the captain of Shin Teikoku. Now she is a beautiful teenager in her freshman year and I'm...about to get screwed.

"Fudou-kun, would you mind telling us the answer to this question? That is, if you were not dozing off in my stirring lecture?" The teacher looked angry. No, I would not mind, you bitch. Stirring lecture, give me a break.

I stood up and, in my most charming voice, said politely and sarcastically, "No, ma'am, I was not sleeping. The answer is that the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima on this date."

The teacher frowned, wondering how I knew the answer, "That is correct, Fudou-kun. In the future, do not seem to be preoccupied in my World War II lectures."

I smiled at her and sat down, winking at Haruna who had moved her notes closer to me. Thanks, I mouthed. She smiled and replied, No problem.

Yes, I have a crush on Otonashi Haruna. Her blue hair had grown long which she now kept in a cerulean French braid, two bangs framing her face. She had gotten contacts to replace her glasses and her body had now grown out and become more feminine and curvaceous. And her lips had blossomed into two perfect pink petals. Wow, I never knew I was this poetic.

But there was a problem. Three words. How much trouble can three words be, you ask? A lot, if those three words are I love you, and if they have any relation to Otonashi Haruna...

Why?

Because of her overprotective brother, Kidou Yuuto. Earlier this year, a sophomore had asked Haruna out.

-Flashback-

"So, babe, wanna go out with me? You're pretty hot," the sophomore leered at a girl with blue hair and blue eyes, holding her right hand. She was backed up against a wall, fearfully looking at the five sophomores who surrounded her.

"N-no, th-thanks-"

"Aw, come on, don't be like that, sweetheart," the sophomore had told her, smirking. At least until Kidou had heard him and decided to intervene. Four minutes later, six sophomores were taken to Inazuma General Hospital, while a brown-haired gamemaker sweetly explained to the astonished teachers that they had tripped and fallen. On perfectly flat ground. That didn't explain the smoking soccer ball nearby.

-Flashback-

Those six still limped to school, sporting broken limbs. From that point on, no one dared ask the beautiful blue-eyed girl out. Kidou was too overprotective and a little too quick with his hissatsu techniques.

If he had sent six weak, pathetic sophomores to the hospital, none who actually posed a threat, there was no telling what he'd do to me if I asked his beloved sister out. Me, Kidou-kun's hated rival. He still hadn't gotten over Shin Teikoku, if the constant bruises at practice were any indication. He was always so pleased when he was put on the opposite team as he had full rein to give vent to his anger.

He still hated me for what I did to Sakuma and Genda, even though both were fully healed now.

Such a baka.

I sighed as the bell rang. Today was the day.

The day I was finally going to tell her.

Tell Otonashi Haruna that I love her.

And hope Kidou doesn't kill me.

Actually I wasn't planning to tell Kidou anytime soon. Maybe, if Haruna said yes, I would tell him when I was half across the world. Yesterday at practice I had told Aki, Fuyuka and Natsumi, who had continued to be our managers, and they had agreed to help me. This afternoon, Kidou was going with Endou and Gouenji to challenge Aliea High's master rank team, Genesis, which had our old friends such as Hiroto and Yagami, to an exhibition match. So, I was going to tell Haruna then.

There were some flaws in my plan, but I didn't care. I would tell Haruna I loved her...no matter the price I had to pay.

Even if it meant never playing soccer again.


NaCl: Awww!

Lil bro: I fail to see the 'cuteness'.

NaCl: IT'S OVERPROTECTIVE KIDOU!

Fudou: (slowly backing away) Um...Writer-chan? Did you ever think about how Kidou would feel towards me...?

Kidou: (dark aura; slowly walking towards Fudou)

NaCl: Please don't kill him, Kidou-kun...we need him for the next chapter...

Fudou: You're so considerate...
