Shattered Dreams

Summary:
Sakuma has loved soccer since he was small. He was in the FFI and won with Inazuma Japan, but the second FFI is around the corner and Sakuma got his by a train. He's told he needs his legs amputated. Will this stop him playing soccer? Using English names, OCs, minor swearing and extreme injury.
Chapter 1
Yoshirou's alarm clock beeped at 6.15am. He started making his son some breakfast.
"Still feel sleepy." Yoshirou yawned as he poured Jirou a drink.
Yoshirou missed having his wife dearly. He took on both roles as the parent. He smiled as he put the breakfast on the table.
"Ji-chan, time to get up." he whispered gently.
Jirou opened an eye and hugged his penguin "Otou-san, I'm sleepy~."
Yoshirou sighed. "Me too son, but your breakfast is on table. You should come and get it."
"Okay!" Jirou got up grudgingly out of his warm bed and sat down at the table. "Thank you for the food!"
Yoshirou smiled and made Jirou's bed for him. Opening the younger boy's window, he leaned out and glanced up at the sky. "How is things in Heaven, dear?"
Jirou was sitting at the table, still eating his breakfast. "This is great, Otou-san!"
Yoshirou nodded and sat down with his son, drinking his tea. "Arigatou, son."
By 6.30, Jirou was in his bath while Yoshirou was washing up and getting his son's uniform ready.
"Jirou-chan, uniform is by the door!" Yoshirou called.
Jirou called back gratefully. "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu, Otou-san!" He got out and grabbed the uniform from the door to get dressed.
7.40am
Jirou said goodbye to his dad and left the small flat. He took the usual walk to school slowly, enjoying the heat and light of the sun rays dancing on his face. He relaxed as he saw a bird on a fence singing.
'Can't wait until later; Kantoku has some news... I wonder what it is...' he thought.
4.05pm (after school)
"The chance of going on this soccer trip is amazing!" Genda laughed. "Are you excited too, Jirou-kun?"
"Yeah!" Sakuma yelled with joy.
Kuroiwa-kantoku, or Kageyama-kantoku, stood up and spoke an announcement. "This is a fun yet tiring tournament. We'll need to practise before we leave on the bus. Practise as normal for now, please!"
4.30 (during practice)
"Koujirou-kun! Once more!" Sakuma shouted to him.
"Yoshi!" Genda threw it out.
Sakuma grinned. "I'll get you this time!"
He decided not to use a hissatsu and did a plain chip shot. It was about to go successfully well, when before the ball left Sakuma's foot, he slipped on the backspin and fell prostrate on his back.
"Jirou-kun! Are you okay?" Genda ran over to him.
"Sakuma-kun!" Kidou yelled. (Being in his old school for high school was a pain since he left to Raimon for so long, but they re-made friends.)
Sakuma rubbed his head and tried to stand up, "I'm fi- OW!" but failed at the standing up part. Genda grabbed his forearm and pulled him up, resting Sakuma's arm around his neck.
They bandaged up his leg, but the coach wanted to take him to hospital to double check that there was nothing serious.
"I'll go with you, Kantoku." Genda stood up with Sakuma.
"Me too." Kidou nodded. "Not just as Captain, but as a friend."
As they were to catch a train, they arrived at Inazuma Eki within twenty minutes.
A train flew past at an extremely high speed, almost sweeping Sakuma off his feet.
"Better be careful." Kidou advised, clinging onto Sakuma's shirt. "Don't want that happening again. Especially before the current wound has healed."
Meanwhile, Yoshirou was cleaning the flat when there was a knock at the door.
Yoshirou stopped cleaning. With a slightly puzzled 'who could that be' face, he went to the door and saw Genda's mum standing there.
"Nakusa-chan! Is everything ok?" Yoshirou asked.
Nakusa seemed pale and freaked out. "There was an accident today; Sakuma-kun was hit by a train."
Flashback
"He's out cold. Unconscious!"
"I swear I heard a click that time... No, worse... A crack."
