I know I said no knew multichapter till Forgetting You but this idea as well as Pokezuma is so damn tempting (and in the end I gave in). I don't know how you guys will like this idea, though I still liked my starting chapter for 'Forgetting You' a lot better than this one.

Click.
Click. Click.
W, S, A, D. Right click. Click.
His sharp sniper eyes moved quickly around the screen zooming in on his next target. The bright light from the monitor screen lit up the darkness of his room. His eyes flicked to the right hand corner to the toolbar.
7:35PM
He had time - Quite a lot of time to be honest. Enough time before his mother would come barging into his room and pull the headphones from his ears and jack him out of the game.
"Boom, headshot," he smirked as his target slammed to the floor from the impact of his gun.
He never missed his shot, no matter how good his opponent was, he never missed. Aim fast at your opponent, shoot, move location and repeat. That was his game style.
Endou stretched his arms and quickly sprung downstairs to the fridge to get a new can of coke before jolting back to his room faster than his mother could say Endou.
No time to chat, the last few minutes of the current round of Team Fortress 2 were closing to an end.
"ALERT! OUR LAST CONTROL POINT IS BEING CAPTURED," the annoying female voice from the game screeched from the speakers.
Endou clenched his teeth but kept a slight smile on. In the last twenty seconds of the game he managed to secure his teams victory managed to shoot off the last of a blue team trespassing in their area.
He released his mouse the time flicked to 00:00. He grinned, 127 kills, 0 deaths, just in that one round.
He watched as his accumulated points got added to my total number of points. He sighed, "here's really no competition now days really," he thought to himself.
Competition you're asking? You've probably been confused for the last minute or two while seeing what has just happened.
Endou. Endou Mamoru. That was his name.
Though really, he was better known as GKSweeper on the gaming net community - InazumaBreakNET to be exact.
Still confused?
InazumaBreakNET (or IBN for short) was the most popular site on the internet. A site which contained tons of the coolest games possible where players compete to get the top of the ranks, to own, defeat and become the best players on the leader board. Games ranging from adventure to action, racing to first person shooter, single player to multiplayer, you name it - any game you can imagine is on IBN.
GKSweeper? Well that was his username, his alias and unless you know each other in real life, everyone on IBN referred to each other by their alias. Not only that, every player had their own avatar - A picture used to identify each user. His avatar was the letters GKS, the GK in yellow, the S n blue with its tai underlining the GK ending with an arrowhead.
And here's another thing… guess who's ranked first on the InazumaBreakNET leader board?
GKSweeper. Endou.
"I've been a gamer for years. They said I had natural talent and because of my amazing skill as a gamer, newbies bow down to me… pretty much."
Endou learned about InazumaBreakNet from some kids back at school. Back when he went to Arakumo Academy he was just an ordinary player but because he play a little too often, his rank on the leader board grew higher and higher till he became the best player on IBN. Now in starting his second year of High School (four years since he started playing), he still was unbeatable.
But he never told anyone though… that he was GKSweeper. For fear that they wouldn't treat him the same… being the best player and all. So he played on a second account, never played to his potential and even let them beat him a few time.
Either way, GKSweeper or not, the playing field had been boring recently. He wished there were more players out there that would get Endou excited about playing, someone who had even more skill than he did so he could aim to beat them like he did when he wasn't the best player. There HAD to be at least one person out there… couldn't there be?
"MAMORU! DINNER TIME!" Endou groaned. Great, whenever his mother decides to have dinner later than six, it usually destroys his precious gaming time… just great.
He hopped of the computer chair smelling the wafting smell of spaghetti sauce not noticing the blinking notification message on his profile.

"Thanks Oka-san! The food was great!" Endou raced back to his room and shut the door. For what seemed like the third time that night he logged onto IBN which had logged him off automatically due to his absence.

Endou groaned and slid down his chair rubbing the bridge of his nose. That was the last time he'd ever ask his mother how her day was again. If only he'd known that he would be getting a minute by minute lecture on how her day went – forget about it.
He slid back up realising he had several new notification from the IBN headquarters. A few were challenges from completely new members who were over themselves thinking they could beat Endou. Endou deleted the messages… heck it would be slightly entertaining to play against them to see how fast he could beat them. But the message that intrigued Endou the most was the one from the IBN Headquarters. Excitedly he clicked on it, hoping it was a new game release. Games didn't release very often on IBN and there were no new and recent updates on the site so he was a tad bit curious.
"INAZUMA BREAK GRAND PRIX" he read, "recruit your clan in teams, faceoff to become the champions of IBN!"
Endou sighed once again. As much as he would love to compete he was a loner in the gaming world. There was no one good enough out there to team up with; he'd have to pass on this opportunity once again.
He raised his eyebrow seeing he had another new notification.
TEAM FORTRESS 2: You're high score has been beaten.
Highest No. of kills in a round:
[01] Tornetsu 155 Kills
[02] GKSweeper 130 Kills
Tornetsu…. Who the heck was that? He'd never seen him or her before… and yet he managed to beat his high score… and by a long shot. Not only that, but there were other players catching up to his score… and fast.
[03] MeTeOrCEO
[04] STRAT14
[05] InfiniteCourage
[06] IcicleHowler
There were even more, were that came from. He had no idea who the heck these people were, but he was happy some great players were pacing up the board.
He was going to hit up the game when…
"MAMORU! IT'S TEN O'CLOCK NOW, GO TO BED… DON'T MAKE ME GET UP THERE!" he heard his mother yell from downstairs and he gulped. He quickly logged off knowing that if he didn't within the next five minutes he could be cut off the network for a week. He could see the new players tomorrow after school.

He let out a breath as his mother walked in the room just as the screen went blank. His internet connection was definitely not getting cut off tonight.
"Are you ready for tomorrow Mamoru?" she asked him.
Endou inwardly groaned, she just had to remind him.
At the middle of his second year at Arakumo High School both of his parents' jobs moved to another town… and of course Endou had to come with them. He was sad leaving his friends behind and his mother telling him he'd make new ones was definitely not helping.
Tomorrow he'd be starting at Raimon East High and he wasn't sure if he were to look forward to it or not.
"Here's your schedule and a map of the school," The kind lady at Raimon East High smiled at him as she gave him his new things, "Come with me and I'll take you to your new locker,"
Endou followed the receptionist down the many halls and up the many stairs the something-th floor. Raimon East was a lot bigger than Arakumo High, how would he even remember where to go?
"…And this is the computer lab," the receptionist pointed to different things on the way. As they walked past the nurse office, Endou and the receptionist walked past a group of kids his age.
The tallest one of the group, a spiky platinum blond boy made eye contact with Endou as they walked past. The other two boys in the group, one with blue eyes and brown hair swept to the side and a boy whose lime green hair was tied in a high pony tail followed him without taking notice of Endou.
"Endou, there's your locker," the receptionist pointed to the tall locker labelled 101 in the centre of the group of lockers, "Ah Tachimukai-kun!" The receptionist motioned over to a boy with chestnut brown hair who was obviously late for class. He wore the same Raimon East Uniform as everyone else – A dark blue blazer with three small golden buttons, a clean white polo and a blue tie with thin gold stripes were under the blazer. He also wore black dress pants and newly shined black shoes. Unlike Endou, he had an emblem attatched to the pocket on his blazer with a crest containing a picture of a gaming controller.
"Late again for the third time this semester," she smiled in a slightly disapproving way.
"G-Gomen S-Suzuki-sensei," he scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"Since you're late why don't you show Endou-kun to class, he's new here and he's also in your class."
"H-hai!"
As Suzuki-sensei left Tachimukai gave a nervous smile to Endou, "O- Ohayo gozaimasu, O-Ore wa Tachimukai, Tachimukai Yuuki!"
He held out his hand stiffly to Endou who took it, "Ore Wa Endou Mamoru, Yoroshiku!"
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu E-Endou-san," Tachimukai 's nervous hand shake turned into a sudden one as he shook it furiously up and down. Endou tried shaking back with as much force and the two ended up laughing – what a way to start a friendship!
As the two started heading to their homeroom Tachimukai asked questions about where he came from, his old school and how he liked Raimon East already. At the same time he learnt from Tachimukai that their homeroom class had a mix of first to third year students.
"So, have you thought about joining any clubs, E-Endou-san?" Tachimukai asked him.
"Clubs?" Endou repeated. He hadn't been told about clubs before and he didn't have any back at his old school so he had no idea about them.
"Yeah, it's compulsory for everyone to join a club," Tachimukai piped, he no longer seemed as nervous as he once was.
"So what club are you part of?" Endou asked him.
"The Gaming club!" Tachimukai answered, he seemed excited Endou asked.
"See this," He pointed to the emblem attached to his blazer, "Whatever club you'll be in, you'll get a crest attached to your blazer."
"The Gaming Club huh?" Endou thought to himself, "That sounds interesting,"
"Are you a gamer Endou-san? Do you play on InazumaBreakNET?" Tachimukai asked him excitedly.
"Uh… yeah," Endou scratched his head hopping Tachimukai wouldn't ask what his alias was.
"What's your usern- oh here's our class!"
Talk about saved by the bell… and I mean literally. The minute the two walked through the door, the homeroom bell sounded and several students from outside walked in and took their seats.
The classroom seemed no different to the one back at Arakumo High. Big, wide windows to the left, black board and teachers desk at the front and door to the right.
Endou, whom without a seat looked around everywhere to see their homeroom teacher motioning him to come over.
"Class, we have a new student here, treat Endou with care." He motioned to Endou to introduce himself.
"Ore Wa Endou Mamoru, Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" he bowed to the class.
"Take the seat at the back besides, Kiyama," the teacher pointed to the only empty seat in the class and Endou began to walk towards it. Five rows by six desks made the class of thirty and his seat was located in the middle of the very back row.
He looked at the boy who the teacher had pointed to. He had redest hair he had ever seen which curved at spiked out to the size. His was leaning on his chair swung back so two of the chair's feet were in the air while the other two held the chair down.
"Kiyama Hiroto!" their teacher yelled at him, "How many times have I told you not to lean on your chair!" and with that, Hiroto came back down on both four legs.
Walking to his seat, he passed the familiar platinum blond boy he had seen on the way to his locker. Once again, they made friendly eye contact as he passed him on the way to his seat.
The red head grinned as he sat down at his new desk.
"The name's Hiroto, but I guess you already know that," he laughed, "The dude with the funny goggles in front of you is Kidou Yuuto and the guy whose hair is longer than a girl's is Kazemaru Ichirouta."
The two glared at Hiroto but both of them gave Endou a welcoming smile. The teacher told them that he had to sort out some teacher business. The minute he left the room Hiroto started to lean on his chair again.
"So Endou-kun, you decided on the club you gonna join?" Hiroto asked him.
Clubs? Was this school really strong on clubs that they must be so important in this school?
"Hey! Back off Kiyama!" A boy with light brown hair and red goggles perched on his head sitting on the right side of Kiyama told him, he had a crest of a baseball on his blazer pocket, "You can't just edge all the new students to join your club… besides, who would want to join the gaming club anyway? The baseball team is way better!"
"Get real Kazuo, the basketball team is way better! Another kid with a royal blue hair and had his emblem contain a crest with a basketball on it.
"or the Art club!"
"No the science club!"
"Definitly the theatre club"
"Music Club!"
Hiroto rose an eyebrow, "Yo shut up! Endou can decide for himself what club he wants to join!"
As the other students went back to their seats Hiroto just poked a tongue at the two boys who had started the fight, "Taiki, Takuto… I was never asking him to join my club. I just asked if he had any clubs in mind." The two shrugged and went back to their seats.
"So this really is a big deal…clubs and all," Endou thought. He looked at Hiroto's crest, to Kidou's and to Kazemaru's, he noticed they were all wearing Gaming Club emblems.
"So have you decided?" Hiroto asked excitedly, eagerly waiting for the answer.
"No", Endou replied, "But I have some in mind."

So this is sorta an online based fic… sorta . My OCs Kazuo Taiki and Takuto Ryota were only walk-in roles since this is definitely not a OC fic. As for each character's online username/alias… can you guess who is who and how their alias was created? Every bit of each alias is related to something of that character(free pocky to everyone who can guess both xD) Making usernames like 'TheFlameStriker' and "GoggledPenguins'… they're too obvious and it's more fun revealing a person later in the story rather than It being obvious.
Revealing what Endou's full username meant though it's kinda obvious if you play soccer xD
So for those of you that don't know Team Foretress 2 or TF2, it's a first person shooter free to play game you can download from steam on PC. Seriously one of my most favourite games. A lot like capture the flag, cept you pretty much shoot each other and stuff.
Will be updating Forgetting You this week as well as another One Shot !
So Ja Na till next time!
