Yo yo yo! FacelessDoll Updating! Man, I have been really thinking a lot of making an Inazuma Eleven Fanfiction, I mean; I was really desperate that I don't even know how to start or how she met the team. Oh, and, this was after the FFI and instead of graduating, they have another time for some playing! =D I was like thinking 'should I start as an exchange student or a culture festival and the team got invited and stuff. . .' I don't know. So. . . (Awkward convo, right?) Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Inazuma Eleven belongs to Level-5 production. If I did, it would be a level 0 (Get it? Because of Level 5 and. . . Oh forget it. I make lame puns anyway.)
I saw it through my own eyes. . . The team of Japan's representative won the FFI challenged.
At first I never even bothered looking at the selected representative because I thought my team, would win against them. . . But I was wrong. Especially the team's captain, in my eyes, he had something else no other soccer captain would have, unlike me; I always thought that I should have more power so that if my team was weak, I will become their power and help them.
Now here I am, watching as a spectator, looking at them as they were all smiles as they claim their trophy. I saw his smile as bright as day. The crowds around me were all standing and cheering for the victory of Japan. I reached out my hand, trying to grasp what was that feeling was missing from me, but stopped my hand from doing it. I looked at him from afar.
But suddenly, he looked at where I was. My heart skipped a beat. I averted my eyes, after a second, I traced my eyes back to him again. And that's where I saw his goofy smile. He really looks like an idiot. But that's what makes him fun.
I smiled back, but it seems he didn't receive it because he was talking to his teammates. I made a stoic face. I got up and decided to exit the stadium. As I walk, a breeze of wind suddenly went by. I closed my eyes and it loosens my hair from its place. It flowed with the same flow as the wind. Inazuma Eleven, huh? I slowly open my eyes as the wind weakens. I looked up at the blue sky. The wind suddenly starts to dance again with my hair, but not that rushing, but in a rhythm pace. I smiled to myself.
Ever since that day, they gave me the true colors of soccer. I was ignorant back then. I wonder what adventures will happen if I became a player on their team. I gripped on my familiar red scarf. Something tells me it would be extraordinary.
". . .kino. . . Yukino. . ." I felt a hand on my left shoulder. It was tapping me continuously. I decided to open my eyes and turned my head where the hand was connected to. It was from my auntie, actually, my adoptive mother, whose name is Rin.
"Good morning, Yukino-chan." She greeted with a smile.
"What is it Okaa-sama?" I scratched my eyes to stay awake.
"We arrived at our new home." I blinked twice. I lazily move from the car's seat. I got out of the car and saw our home sweet home starting today.
"Your aneki is helping me fix the house. Since you just woke up, why don't you take a stroll around town?" I just nodded. A nearby gate suddenly opened, it was one of our neighbors, but I didn't stopped from my tracks and just walked around.
"Hello, you must be the new neighbors we been hearing about. My name is Endou Atsuko, it is nice meeting you."
"It is nice meeting you also, my name is Rin Hikariyami. The girl you saw walking is my youngest daughter, Yukino."
"What a lovely girl she is. I'm sorry but my son is not here, he's playing soccer with his friends again."
"My! I know what you mean. My daughter loves soccer as well. Maybe our children will get along, won't they?"
"As long as it is about soccer, my son never let it pass him by."
I walked around the neighborhood. Even though I know that sooner or later when I come back, I'm bound to get lost and I'll end calling Onee-sama to come and pick me up. I decided to go somewhere else than the residential area. But there was one problem. . . Where?
I looked around if there was someone who could help me. Suddenly I started panicking. I paced around the area in circles trying to think. But despite having a short height, I can't see that high anyway.
"Meow."
A feline's cry was heard near an electric post. It was looking at me. I stared at it and asked, "What is it?" Oh great, a lost girl now talking to a cat, am I becoming hysterical because I am currently lost?
The cat finally stood up on its four legs and walked. I tried ignoring her because I might become very nosy.
"Meow!" I jumped when it cried out again. She looked at me, and then turned her head to the direction she was heading.
"Are telling me that. . . I should follow you?"
"Meow." She started to walk again.
"Alright." I just followed her behind, but since my walking pace is fast, I ended up right beside her. Now, a hysterical girl following a cat's sense of direction. What are the odds?
But in the end, following the cat's direction was a great idea. She led me out of the residential area. She just kept on walking with her head high. I noticed a lot of convenience store around, but there was one that caught up my eyes. A ramen shop.
"It would be great if I get to eat here." I looked down on my feline companion.
"But maybe after the stroll." We continued our walk.
10 minutes later, we were in an open area. I gotta admit, this place is something else. I could get used to living here. But all of a sudden, I hear voices, not far of where I was. I looked around, the only thing that has piqued my eyes were the big, blue old bridge with yellow lightning symbols on them. I decided to look around there. And so this is where my tour guide ends her job for the day. This time, she was following me.
I approached the bridge and saw something extraordinary. A soccer practice of Inazuma Eleven. My eyes lit up for some reason when I saw them. I was just looking at them in awe even though they were just practicing shots, jogging around the field, or do stretches. To think I will see the team that made me see how soccer was truly played.
I decided to check it out. I stood somewhere far so that they won't notice me. My eyes caught every player that I saw played in the FFI. I saw the ace striker Shuya Goenji-san, he was the only left footed player in the whole team. He was inspiration to me since I was also a left footed kicker. Someone then runs pass him, who was Ichirota Kazemaru-san. The fastest player in the team, he was talking to the two genius strategists who were Yuuto Kidou-san and Akio Fudo-san. A boy with red hair walks up and suddenly spoke to a yellow green haired boy. I have no doubt that their names were Hiroto Kiyama-san and Ryuji Midorikawa-san. In a blink of an eye I saw the ocean lover Josuke Tsunami-san talking to the north's best striker, Shirou Fubuki-san and the team's other goalkeeper, Yuki Tachimukai-san.
I don't know why, but my keeps on darting on every player of team that.
"Right! Everyone! Let's play!" A familiar voice was heard. It was the person who had given me the strength to face the future.
Endou Mamoru-san.
They were getting into position. I don't know why, but even though it hasn't started yet, I think I'm drooling for some reason. I quickly brushed my lips to see if there was a drool, lucky for me, it doesn't. I saw the little cat was playing with a butterfly. At least she found herself to be occupied with.
"Koutei Penguin. . . No. 3, G3!" I heard Kidou –san's voice from the fields. I turned my head and saw that it was going to Yuki Tachimukai-san's goal.
"Maou the Hand, G5!" He unleashed his powerful technique to counter back Kidou-san's move.
"Hiroto-san! Catch!" He throws the ball to Hiroto-san, he ran to where the ball was thrown and receives it perfectly. He runs pass from the other players and manages to make a shot;
"Ryuusei Blade. . . V3!" The ball was heading towards to Endou-san. My eyes were sparkling to finally see him this up close. I was really happy that I don't care about anything anymore. Endou-san then positions himself to the posture that I know the most;
"Shin God Hand!" He blocked Hiroto-san's attack, but something was off. Instead of stopping on his hand, the ball rolled away to his right. I gasped as I knew to where it was heading. I turned my head and let out a shout.
"Neko-chan, look out!" She was busy playing with the butterfly.
Without control of myself, I ran to her as fast as I could in front and I know that the only thing to stop a hissatsu is to use a hissatsu against it. I didn't have a choice.
*"Sword of Pruina!"
I managed to kick the ball away from us.
"Endou-kun! Look out!"
"Huh? Aaahh!" The ball hit Endou-san right in the stomach and into the net.
"Captain! Are you alright?" Kabeyama-san helped him stood up.
"Yeah. . ." He made a goofy grin.
I grinded my teeth, "What do you think you're doing!?" They all became surprise as I screamed on top of my lungs, pissed.
"You should be more careful! If I wasn't here, the cat may have already turned into a meat bun right now! And—" I stopped on my tracks. I realized of what I have just said and noticed that EVERY PLAYER was staring at me, like they were expecting something. I turned pale and I started to sweat bullets and shiver. WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What should I do? Lord! What have I done wrong to deserve this?!
The only person who I happened to look at was Endou-san. He seems dumbfounded. I tilt my head down and turned red. I raised my head up, still red and all I can do is bow down to them 90 degrees. After that I ran as fast and as far as my feet can carry me. The feline just followed me.
"What. . . was that about?" Midorikawa broke the silence.
"I haven't even seen her around this area." Kazemaru looks at Endou "Huh? Endou-kun?"
Endou suddenly laughed. "That was amazing! Did you see how she managed to kick the ball with her hissatsu against Hiroto-kun's Meteor Blade and landed on my stomach? Man! I could tell that she's strong!" He's face made a goofy smile. "Whoever she is, I want to meet her!"
Everyone was just staring at him, but after a second, they burst out laughing.
"That's the captain for you! I wonder if she's interested in the ocean. Just thinking about it makes me feel excited!" Tsunami was jogging in place.
"Tsunami-san, I think you're just thinking of making her like the ocean." Tachimukai sweatdrops.
"What are you talking about? The man's best friend is the ocean!" Tsunami chuckled.
"But that hissatsu. . . It was powerful enough to send Meteor Blade away, Sword of Pruina was it?" Kidou was in deep thought.
"Everyone! Let's make sure we practice harder!" Endou punches his right fist into the air.
"Yeah!" Everyone else did the same.
"Man, I didn't know running that fast will make me anemic. . ." I hold out my hand on an electrical post . I panted for breathe.
"Meow!" The cat was just in front of me. I glared down at her. "It's your fault that happened! Now they will think of a bad impression of me!"
"Meow!" The cat blinked at me and she just ran to an alley. I think she must've been enjoying seeing me in this kind situation. Oh, God, give me break.
"Sigh. . . The question now is, what should I do?" I bowed down my head.
"Thank you very much!" I saw an old sliding door opened, and a businessman came out. My eyes drift to what kind of shop it was, and as expected, it was the ramen shop I have already passed by, Rairaiken. Since it caught my attention, I decided to eat and rest at the place.
I walked to its front and slid the door open before me, just enough space for my head to peek in. "Ummm. . . Hello. . ."
"Welcome." An old man suddenly greeted me. He was busy making noodles, so I can't see his face "What can I get you?" I walked to the sit upfront. I looked at the list of ramens he has in store.
"Umm. . . I'll have the *Tonkotsu, please." I pointed out the on the menu, the kanji letters spelling the pork bone ramen.
"Alright, I'll get right on it." He was then preparing the ingredients for the ramen.
The boiling broth, the vegetables and meat being sliced up, and the noodles being made. The sounds were the only things that can be heard in that little shop. The only costumer there was me. Seconds ticks as the man was cooking away to serve my order.
"Sigh." I rested my head on top of the table. I never knew that it would come to this.
"Is something the matter? You sounded depress back there." The man suddenly talks to me.
"Yeah. . . But you wouldn't understand, sir." I closed my eyes.
"A 'normal everyday life' kind of problem?" I opened my eyes half way.
"Well. . . You can put it that way."
"Well, it's not my business to be nosy, but all I can say that if you don't face it, you'll probably loose things that are connected with it." He prepares the bowl and pours in the broth. But it's true; the fact that I won't be able to play soccer with them will become shattered. "Here you go, dig in while it's hot." He placed the ramen right in front of me. I lifted my head, grabbed a pair of chopsticks and clapped my hands together.
"Thank you for the food." I dig in my chopsticks in the ramen. At first, I hesitated, but in the end, I ate a mouthful.
"Wahh. . . So this is what a Tonkotsu taste. . ." My eyes sparkled at the ramen. I took another scoop and continuously sip the noodles.
"Hm? Is it your first time eating one?"
I took the bowl and sipped the ramen's soup. I slowly putted it down and placed my chopsticks neatly on it. Again, clapped my hands together, "Thanks for the food." I finally looked at the noodle-cooker that was talking to me at his face. He wears black glasses and a navy blue pants and shirt with golden laces in the center. He also wears a white beard and a cap similar to the color of his shirt and pants. He has a scar on his left eye. For some reason, he looks familiar.
"Ummm. . . Yes, actually. . . It's my first time eating one." I tried avoiding the question if I know if. He might get the wrong idea.
"I see. If you want more, you can stop by." He takes the bowl and washes them on the sink. "You can leave your payment on the table."
"Okay." I left 1000 yen on the table. "Don't worry, you can keep the change."
"Well, that's pretty generous of you." I hop off the chair and walked towards the door, before I slid it open, I stopped.
"Its thanks for the advice you gave." I slid open the door and walked out. "Didn't catch your name there."
". . .Hikariyami Yukino." I closed the door and made my way down the street.
I wore my headphones on my ears, and at that very exact time, someone was calling me.
"Hello?"
-Yuki-chan? Where are you?-
"Onee-sama. . . I'm just exploring the town a bit."
-That's great, I thought you were lost, so just in case; I installed a GPS in your phone! –
"Onee-sama. . ."
-Yes, my super cute and adora—
"I'm hanging up." I flatly just answered out. Really, she's a loli sis con. She needs to reexamine her life. Maybe I should take her to a therapist.
At that moment, I glanced by the corner of my eye and saw a poster on the glass windows of a convenience store. On that very poster were the faces that I idolized show much. I wonder if there is a chance I'll ever to play with them. I sighed and continued down on path.
Is it me, or am lost?
I am currently (hiding) sitting on the bridge that I came across 3 hours ago.
Yes.
I have been wandering about in this town aimlessly and I have been in this area like, the 17th time. I glanced at my shoulder and it seems they are still playing.
"All right. Everyone! Why don't we all take a break?" Endou-san was foolishly grinning. I wonder what it feels like to play with them. I turned to them. I removed my headphones to see what they were chatting about.
I saw Kabeyama-san and his little companion who was always with him, Kogure-san, was talking about something. Because I was there I 'accidentally' heard what they were saying.
"Hey, Kogure, what do you think should I eat later? Hamburger or Curry?"
Oh. As expected.
"I don't know about you, but that girl a while back, wasn't she weird? Just shouting out of nowhere and showing off her hissatsu."
He sounded insulting and mocking at the same time. But that weird part is correct. I admit. And besides, it's not my fault the ball was heading towards us!
"But I think she was pretty cute when she turned red."
NOW I'm really turning red.
"Hey! What are you guys talking about?" Tsunami-san, Fubuki-san, Hiroto-san, and Tachimukai-san came walking to the other group. Great, just more people.
"Nothing much, we were just talking about what I should eat later and then, that girl we saw earlier."
He should've only said about his food.
"Ah. Well that was quiet surprising of what she had done back there."
Yeah, yeah. I get it and I regretted it.
"Still, that was quiet a kick and she sent Hirito-san's Meteor Blade away." Tachimukai-san seems to be puzzled.
"The way I see it, she did that because it almost hit the cat that was playing." Fubuki-san pointed out. Ahh. . . Fubuki-san, you're a savior.
"What I'm concern about is what the captain will do next." Kabeyama-san sweatdrops.
Huh?
"I agree with Kabeyama-kun there." Everyone showed this worried smiling face. What?
But then, I was interrupted when suddenly, I saw this box floating on the river. And the way it is, there was something moving inside it. I focused my eyes again and saw the cat earlier inside the box. Oh she's just floating, SHE'S GONNA DROWN!
I was about to take action when I noticed their presence. Oh shoot, this is like one of those video games where both decisions have something you'll gain and something bad after that will happen. Was it from *Devil Residue or something?
Okay. So, if I save the cat, then the—Screw that! The cat is moving and I'm just thinking something here! I should probably do a selfless act now.
"Neko-chan! How did you ended up like that?!" I screamed and run off the bridge, everyone was staring daggers again at me, but I didn't care. I ran to the fields, and taken off my blazer.
"Oi! That's dangerous!"
I didn't hear anything since the sound of the splashing was louder.
Ka-clunk
"Oh? Welcome home, Yukino-ch—" Okaa-sama was looking kinda pale.
"Is something wrong?" I blinked as water droplets were dropping down my clothes. I was holding a wet box with both of my hands.
"What happened?"
"Meow?"
". . . I fell in a river."
"Yukino-chan. . . You should take a bath now if you don't want to catch a cold." Okaa-sama gestured for me to go inside. She took the box from my hands and out jumped out the cat. I lowered my head a bit.
"Okaa-sama. . ."
"Hm? Is something wrong? You can tell me anything."
"I. . ."
"Yes?"
I raised my head proud and I couldn't stop smiling.
"I finally have gotten to see the Inazuma Eleven."
Wah. . . So tired. This is my first fanfiction for an anime, I usually only make for games, but, yeah, it could work out, right? The next chapter will now take place in the school. I don't know why, but the OC I seem to have created. . . Well, I don't get her personality XD Comments, suggestions and other things that are in the same term with them are welcome!
*Sword of Pruina – Ice type, starting on the knee until to the foot, it's covered in ice. Its design is like a knight's armor on its leg, but with a sword.
*Tonkotsu – Pork Bone ramen.
*Devil Residue – Parody of Devil Survivor.
