Me: Welcome my fellow authors and/or readers. I thought about doing this fic just for the heck of it. Keep in mind that I don't like criticism. Especially if it comes from people I don't know.
Rika: All way too true. She gets it from me.
Me: Oh how would you know. Anywho this is an original story. Either that or I had the same idea with some other dude or chic out there in the world. Well, what are the chances!
Ichinose: You would be surprised.
Me: Oh I almost forgot that these two are the ones I'm using in my fic, hopefully I won't get any complains whatsoever with this fic because of the pairing.
Rika: She does not own Inazuma Eleven and the characters used.
Ichinose: Just the plot!
Me: Why am I so darn good at writing romantic fics? And if you didn't notice, this is my first fic with a different beginning! Anyways, enjoy! =)
"One Look Is All It Takes"
~Introduction~
As far as anyone knows, all love stories, such as, "Cinderella" which talks about a girl being abused by two step sister and a step mother finds her prince charming.
Or maybe the classic "Beauty and the Beast" where a curse is put on a boy but, it is lifted because of one girl's love for a monster.
Even "Snow White" where a beautiful girl ate an apple given to her by an evil witch/queen but manages to survive because of her loved one.
Not to mention the beautiful story of "Sleeping Beauty" where when she pricked her finger and she fell in a deep long sleep, only true love's kiss saved her life.
As you may have noticed, only true love has broken the curses, the spells, and/or the hard life of these girls. But,like everyone else you always notice the "happily ever after", "the end", and "happy ending" in all of these stories. My belief is, and always will be, "True Love Stories Never Have Endings." That's where these two come in.
In Japan where an old couple lived, they had 2 sons who married happily. Their grandchildren from one of their own children came to visit. Their 4 grandchildren came because it was their parents' time to go to their honeymoon which they have every time their kids' summer vacation came along.
There were 2 boys and 2 girls. They were always left with their grandparents' for the time being. They would spend 2 weeks to 1 month at their big house in Osaka.
The eldest child was a boy, short turquoise-like shade of his hair always covering his eyes. His eyes were as brown as his grandfather's and as beautiful too when his grandfather was a young fine man as well. His deep voice made it clear that he was strong and handsome just by one glance. He is about 14 years old. His name is Ichinose Raiki.
The second child was a girl this time. Her eyes were a sparkly kind of Grey. Her hair long, silky, and brown. Her soft, and calm voice resembling her mother's. She is now 12 years old. Every time she would talk or sing she would sound exactly like her mother. Her name is Ichinose Kazami.
The third was a girl who was nothing like her older sister. She would behave like a boy although it wouldn't seem at first because of her long, blue hair and gray eyes. Her father said that she looked like her grandmother when she herself was a young girl. At first she wouldn't believe so they would show her pictures. She is now at the age of 10. Her name is Ichinose Rikazu.
The last child was a very cute boy. He had these big hazel eyes and the dark brown hair that when he swooped his bangs out of his eyes, all the girls at his school would flip out. He was considered the heart-throb of his school. He is about to turn 9 years old. His name is Ichinose Kazuki.
Once they arrived at their grandparents' house, they were very happy to see their grandparents. Their father greeted his parents and his wife as well.
"Time for your honeymoon aye?" double-checked the grandfather. A.K.A. Ichinose Kazuya, one of the best soccer players of his time.
"Yes dad." replied his eldest son.
"You two have fun now, and don't forget to bring gifts for your children." said the grandmother. A.K.A. Ichinose Rika. Formerly known as Urabe Rika, which was one of the best FEMALE soccer player around.
"We won't 'mom.'" replied the son's wife. As their mother walked to their children she said in a quite sweet tone "You all behave. Raiki you're in charge and if anything goes wrong you are to blame understand?"
"Yes mother." came a stern reply from the eldest son.
"Remember that I love you all and we will be back in not time." their mother said happily.
"Where will you be going this time mother?" asked the oh so curious eldest daughter, Kazami.
"We'll be at Hawaii then at Florida." their mother said softly.
"When you gonna pick us up then ma?" asked the boyish daughter, Rikazu.
"Maybe at the end of the month or so." replied the still smiling mother.
"I'm gonna make you a card for when you get home!" said the extremely adorable baby bro, Kazuki.
"Oh that's sweet baby!" remarked the very happy mother.
"Time to go now sweetheart!" called their father who was now looking at his wrist watch.
"Alright dear!" Their mother exclaimed to her husband. "Goodbye now kids. I'll see you all very soon." as she gave her children a hug and a kiss.
Their parents had now left them and they quickly went upstairs, got a room, and, unpacked their things in their own room, except for Kazuki and Rikazu who had to share.
"Well kids, what would you like to do at your first day here?" Ichinose asked in an old voice.
"Uhm, I have a suggestion." Kazami said shyly.
"Yes Kazami?" Ichinose asked.
"Maybe you could tell us your whole life story. Starting with how you met grandma."
"That's a great idea!" Kazuki exclaimed.
"Alright then, but, why won't we wait for grandma. She knows the story way better than I do." Ichinose said with a smile.
"What's with all the silence?" Rika asked, holding a tray of milk and cookies.
"I guess we were waiting for you to come in to tell the story." Rikazu said, no emotion whatsoever.
"Story?" Rika said confused. "What story?"
"The story of how you and grandpa met." Raiki explained.
"Oh! That story! Well, if you really want to know..." Rika trailed off as a flashback appeared.
~Flashback~ (Narrator for this part will be Rika)
One day in America-
"Why America?" Kazuki asked, interrupting the flashback.
"Well we used to live in America" Ichinose explained. "Continue, dear"
"Yes, where was I? Oh yes! So, one day in America..."
~Continuing Flashback~
So, one day in America, a 7 year old girl just moved around the block next to some houses of some other boys her age. She was nervous and shy, yet, she introduced herself proudly. She greeted them "Hello" with a smile on her face.
"Hi there!" greeted a quite handsome fellow. (N/A: For me at least) "My name is Mark Kruger." He exclaimed just as proudly.
"The name's Dylan," Dylan said showing all of his pearly whites. "Dylan Keith to be precise"
"Domon Asuka," He said in such a polite manner. "They call me Domon, you too, if you like"
Then came along the most handsome one yet. There he was, standing out among the rest was no other one but- "Ichinose Kazuya, pleased to meet you." the boy had bring her back to earth when she was all the way in outer space. "Now that we told you our name, why won't you tell yours to us."
"Urabe Rika" she curtsied as if they were princes. She could tell by just one look that the boy they called Ichinose Kazuya and her had some sort of special connection. Almost as if she saw her whole future with the boy.
"And you did right?" Rikazu interrupted.
"I did what?" Rika asked totally not knowing what she did.
"Did you honestly see your future with grandpa?" Rikazu explained.
"Well of course" Rika said. "There was always something he had that they didn't"
"Oh." Rikazu said, now she understood what her grandmother said.
"How come at such a young age," Raiki wondered. "You managed to fall in love?"
"Well, for me, age doesn't matter when your counting love" Rika said and shared a look with Ichinose. "Sometimes, when the love and bond between you are strong, you manage to just fall for this person"
"Can you continue now?" Kazumi whined, she was so interested to see what was next.
"Alright then." Rika said "So, the young girl asked..."
"So, where do you go to school?"
"America's finest INTERNATIONAL school of course!" Dylan exclaimed as proud as he could.
"That's interesting." Rika said in reply. "Is it the one past the park, past the market area at the left?"
"That's the one." Domon remarked.
"That's where I'm going!" Rika exclaimed. Much like a young girl at Christmas eve, seeing Santa Claus for the first time.
"Guess we'll see you around" Mark winked at her.
"Guess so" She said excited.
"So, Rika was it?" Ichinose gestured.
"Yes?" Rika asked.
"Will you be the one living in this big house?"
"Yeah!" Rika said proudly at her house. "If you want, you could visit me now. We just finished unpacking and my mother made some cookies. And don't worry about the taste, my moms a cook! So it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Well," Dylan started. "Only if you insist"
"I do!" Rika said excited as she was making new friends. "I do want you guys to come in and eat!"
"As long as it's fine with your mother." Mark calmly said to her, as if trying to calm her down himself.
"I bet it's going to be fine with her" Rika said.
As the kids went on inside, they watched T.V., ate some cookies and drank milk.
"We better head home." Domon said as he looked up to the clock. "It's been fun and all, but, we have school tomorrow."
"Yeah" Ichinose said where in my opinion was a very attractive voice. (N/A: remember the narrator is Rika) "We'll see each other at school."
"Alright," Rika said in a rather disappointed tone. "See you all tomorrow then."
"We wouldn't miss it for the world" Mark said gladly.
"Enjoy your stay here by the way!" Dylan shouted as they were walking out the door.
"You should get dinner started dear," Ichinose interrupted. "I'll heat some water and keep these kids occupied."
"Aww! but grandpa!" Kazuki whined. "It was getting to the part that you were going to school! First grade to be exact"
"There's always tomorrow." Ichinose said. "I'll be the one to continue it"
"Oh goody," Rikazu said. "Grandpa is gonna continue the story."
Me: And that will be the end of chapter 1! The title for this chapter is "The first look".
Rika: Man! How old am I?
Me: When you were narrating? About 72 or so.
Rika: Why did you make me so old?
Me: So it will look believable that you spent your lives together and always will!
Rika: Huh?
Me: Didn't you read the intro? I quote that "True Love Stories Never Have Endings"
Rika: Oh.
Me: I'll put a quote either at the beginning or at the end at every chapter I right for this story from now on.
Ichinose: No negative reviews whatsoever. You should be nice when you review! =)
