Hello, hello. I am Yuki and this is the first story I am writing here. I hope you'll like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inazuma Eleven.

Please don't nag about the plot. It might seem similar to the original series, but I swear it'll be interesting.

Please do review, critique or whatever.

[Edit] I kind of rewrote a lot of stuff, so a couple of things changed a little. Including once again the use of italics, bold and underlined. I hope you don't get sick of me constantly changing styles and such, but this is the style I currently use.

For now. Enjoy.

Inazuma Eleven the Future Generation | Chapter 1 | Intro

"Nao! It's time for you to get up!"

Nao groaned. His bed was so warm and cosy. He didn't want to get out of it.

"Five more minutes, mum!" Nao called back, but he heard someone, probably his mother, coming up the stairs.

"Nao," his mother said when she opened the door. "Didn't you ask me if I could wake you up early today? You said that something special was going to happen?"

The brown-haired boy suddenly jumped out of bed. "Shoot. I totally forgot. I wanted to be at school early today," he had walked towards his closet and started looking for his uniform of Raimon.

His mother walked out of his room, the last words she heard were, "Now, where did I..?" she shook her head. That boy, he was just like his father. She smiled as she walked back to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Ten minutes later.

"Good morning, mum, dad!" Nao said when he came into the kitchen.

"Morning, Nao. Why are you up so early?" his father looked at him while eating toast (one of the few things Nao's mum could cook well).

"Well, I promised that I'd be at the soccer club early, because we have to practice for the match next week," while he said that he had taken a piece of toast and walked to the front door. "Well, I'm going," he said while taking small bites of his toast. "I'll be home late. Bye!"

When Nao had closed the door behind him, his father laughed. "That sure reminds me of my time at Raimon."

"Except for the fact that you were always late."

He laughed. "True, but Natsumi that's just who I am."

"Indeed. You were always late, except when it came to soccer practice. You were always too early on the field," she smiled at him.

Endou nodded and smiled at the thoughts of the past, when he was in the Raimon soccer club.

Nao ran towards school. When he arrived at the front gates, he stopped. The gates were still closed? Well, then he would just take the alternative entrance. He walked further down the street and turned around the corner. There was a piece of land with some trees and shrubs. He maneuvered past the trees, making sure he wouldn't trip over the roots. He smiled at the hole in the fence he was facing. So, they still haven't made the hole in the fence. They probably didn't even know about it. Well, not that he should complain. It was the only way to practice early in the morning, since the riverbank was closed due to vandalism. Also the only ones who knew about this hole were the people in the soccer club and truants.

He squeezed himself through the hole in the fence and crossed the courtyard, towards the second field because nobody would notice his presence there. Though he did need to keep an eye on the time, because he didn't want to be caught by a teacher and then have to explain how he got on the grounds. Now, let's start training... or so he'd love to, but he was a goalkeeper and needed someone to shoot the ball at him.

"I knew you'd be here already," a voice said from behind him. Nao turned around to see a blue-haired boy with reddish eyes.

"Kazemaru! Great. I was already wondering how I would train by myself."

"You're the same as ever, Endou. And very early actually." Kazemaru Fumio walked down the stairs and joined him.

"Well, since we have a match next week I thought that I could use some more training. But, aren't you very early as well?" Endou looked at Kazemaru with a smile.

Kazemaru laughed sheepishly. "I guess we had the same idea."

"Well then, shall we start? Place the ball over there." Endou pointed towards a place just outside the penalty area.

"Sure, but it would probably work better if I actually had the ball." Kazemaru said as Endou already walked towards the goal with the ball still in his hands.

"Eh? Oh, sorry. Here." Endou kicked the ball to Kazemaru who dribbled it towards the spot Endou had pointed out.

"Ready, Endou?"

Endou clapped his hands together. "Come."
