disclaimer: ...we all know who owns inazuma go.

also warning, this story seems way deeper (i think?) than just how i introduced it now

You felt like you just woke up from a nightmare created in your mind, but in reality, all you felt when you did wake up, was darkness.

You were like a tiny speck in the darkness, wandering around freely in the open space. And as you wandered around, feeling nostalgic for some odd reason, suddenly, letters and numbers appeared. They flickered everywhere, soon surrounding you like a bird trapped in its cage.

A blank screen appeared in front of you, with words asking:

NAME?

You were confused. Should you type in your name? All you remembered is that your name is (N), nothing else. Before you could respond to the question, you saw that words were starting to be typed on the screen. You read it carefully.

K-I-R-I-N-O | R-A-N-M-A-R-U

Kirino Ranmaru, huh? You took note of that name, seeing as it might be important. Another question popped up in the screen.

GENDER?

It was followed quickly by a word.

M-A-L-E

Just like that, the darkness unleashed a bright light. You close your eyes shut, and you opened them again...to see various icons everywhere. God, this desktop looks so messy. And you looked in front, to see a face in front of you. It was most likely that boy named Kirino. Pink hair tied to pigtails, turquoise eyes, how odd for a boy to have an appearance like that. But you shrugged it off, it doesn't really matter now.

"Hello, what is your name?" you heard his voice ask you/

You answered almost immediately, "My name is (N)! And I am an A.I. Program Model, ready to serve you!"

Did you really just say that? And what is the A.I. Program?

"Oh, it worked!" the pink-haired human exclaimed, "Hey Shindou, the program you gave me worked!"

Just like that, a young boy walked into your view. He had short brown hair and brown eyes, and he was smiling at Kirino.

"Great," you heard the boy say, "I'm pretty sure this program can help you organize your files more?"

Kirino nodded, "Yeah, and the fact it costs me most of my savings..." Shindou placed a hand on Kirino's shoulder, "It will be helpful, don't worry! If you need any help, just call me, alright?"

Kirino smiled a little, "Alright..."

Soon, Shindou left your view and it was just you and Kirino again. You watched Kirino as he waved the mouse above you and the mouse actually gave you a pat on the head.

"You know my name, right?" he asked.

"Yes, you're Kirino Ranmaru, right?" you replied.

"Yes, but please, just call me Kirino."

"Alright, Kirino!"

He instructed you to start organizing the files on his computer. He told you where to put certain file names and types in certain folders. Kirino left you to do the work, leaving you to do all the organizing. As you fixed his files, there was a certain file that caught your attention. It was a .JPEG image, showing a picture of what seemed to be a young Kirino and a young Shindou holding ice cream cones on their hands. Shindou was nearly in tears, as his ice cream was on the floor while Kirino just smiled at the camera, not noticing Shindou. You admired it, as seeing that the two children looked so cute and adorable.

"Ah, it's such a cute picture..." you murmured, before you went back to your job.

Kirino walked out to the living room and spotted Shindou sitting on the sofa, eating popcorn while watching a TV show from one of the channels. He sighed and walked to the front of the TV to block Shindou's view.

"H-Hey, I was watching something!" Shindou exclaimed. "Yes, I know but," Kirino spoke, lifting a finger "You still have to help me on how to use that program."

It took almost five seconds for Shindou to respond, "It's simple, all you have to do is command it to do whatever task you want it to do and you're all set."

"But is it really all that there is to it? Come on..." Kirino plopped himself down to sit next to Shindou, and sighed deeply. "I also know that you're doing this not because of me being such a messy file organizer—which I have to admit, it's true—but also because of...that..."

Kirino stated, his hands clasped together tightly, "Why don't you just let me move on?"

Shindou placed a hand on Kirino's shoulder, "Because you don't try to. That's what you always talk about, always. I've known you ever since we played in sandboxes and I know that you, Kirino Ranmaru, have a hard time moving on over that one thing."

Kirino slightly smiled, "Yeah, I guess so."

Silence took over them, only the sound of the movie that played on the TV was heard. While Shindou watched the movie, Kirino reflected over what Shindou told him. Is it really hard to move on that? Will the program somehow help him? Questions flooded his mind.

"Hey," Shindou spoke up, interrupting Kirino, "I have to go now. Ibuki just messaged me to go over his house because we need to rehearse."

Kirino laughed silently, "Let me guess, for the talent show?"

Shindou nudged him on the shoulder, "Don't even speak about the song."

"What? I'm just stating! And I have to admit, the song Ibuki made sounds cool but the lyrics are a little..." Kirino pointed out but Shindou interrupted him.

"Not. Another. Word. Or else..." he warned, "...Well, I better get going. See you on Monday, Kirino!"

Kirino smiled, "Yeah, see you!"

Shindou left Kirino's house, leaving Kirino to watch the movie. Kirino pitied Shindou for having to join the school talent show with Ibuki. Even if Ibuki didn't study in Raimon, according to the rules, as long as one student from the hosting school is participating in the group, anyone can join. So Ibuki saw this chance, and pleaded Shindou for so many weeks to join him. Eventually, Shindou agreed to Ibuki's plea and it left with a happy Ibuki. Now, Shindou felt regret, because of the song that Ibuki written himself and they have to sing it to the whole school. Kirino laughed at the thought of it, poor Shindou.

Back to reality, he stayed in his seat until the movie was over and when he did finish, he went back up to his room.
