Me: Okay! Now here's a story of Gazelle and Burn! Thoug there's not much romance… I'll write a sequel though!
…...
"We're going to challenge… the world." Haruko said with a smile. Fuusuke had waved at her with an absent mind. Little did he know that…
"Where's Haruko?" He asked Terumi (Aphrodi/Afuro) when the Korea team came to Japan in order to enter the prelims.
Terumi gave him a confused look, "Haruko… you mean Nagumo Haruko?"
"Stop playing dumb and get on with it."
"… she died three months ago."
Fuusuke made a shocked expression, there was no way…this didn't make sense… "She's… dead?"
"Yeah, didn't you know?"
This is definitely not happening! Fuusuke turned and ran towards the living room, "Burn!"
"What?" the red head looked up with a bored expression.
"Is it true Haruko's dead?"
Haruya looked confused for a moment, but then he saw Terumi… "You told him?"
"Yeah."
Haruya turned back to Fuusuke, "It's true." Fuuske's eyes stretched wide, "She died three months ago before the prelims of FFI."
"How?"
"She tried to save that girl, you know, Kidou Megumi, from some falling iron bars and… she got killed instead…"
A shadow flicked across Fuusuke's face, "The prelims… how far has it gone?"
"Ah, our next match is with Inazuma Japan, in fact…" Terumi said.
"Please let me join…"
"What?"
"I want revenge… for Haruko."
Three days later…
The Korea team met Japan… though it wasn't the day of the match… Fuusuke nearly strangled Megumi, "You killed Haruko!"
"Suzuno, stop it!" Nagumo said, grabbing his normally cool headed team mate's arm, "Let's hear the story from her first…"
Megumi looked up at the two former aliens, she opened her mouth, her eyes looked from Fuusuke to, she had anger burning in her eyes, too. Even if Haruya doesn't say it, his eyes were filled with accusing… Megumi's eyes softened, "Yes, I did kill her. It was all an act. I set up a trap to make the iron bars fall down by themselves, but she wasn't going the right way so… I made a gamble with myself and stood under the falling bars, and as I predicted, that idiot tried to save me and died herself."
"How dare you…!" Fuusuke pounced on Megumi, or at least that would have happened if Yuka and Masako hadn't step in just in time.
"What's wrong? If you're soccer players, why not solve this through soccer? How about the match four days from now?" Junko smirked, coming in front of Megumi.
"Fine." Fuusuke growled and turned away. Haruya looked at Megumi for a long moment… then followed after Fuusuke.
When the two Korea players were out of earshot, Masako turned to Megumi, "Why didn't you just tell them the truth?"
Megumi picked herself up from the ground and made a sad smile, "Sometimes… the truth is better off untold." She turned to join the others for practice. "More like… how can you tell the truth when that person already does not believe you?" She whispered darkly.
