He wasn't in the mood for doing something, or to be more precise, he didn't have anything to do. He already made his homework and folded his uniform for the next day.

It was 5:30. There was still plenty of time to do things, but he couldn't think of any.

Around this time, when he was in the hospital, he had medical exams and stuff that kept him occupied. Now that he was out in his own house he couldn't help but feel nostalgic about that.

Still, Taiyou tries to see the good side of this. He can find a way to entertain himself now, instead of having Fuyuka yelling at him for getting out of his room for playing- That's right!

Soccer.

Soccer was the answer!

He still had his own soccer ball, it was in a corner of his room, next to the door. He had a playground in his house so there he could kick the ball to kill some time. He smiled taking the object with him and getting out of the room.


When he was a child and knew almost nothing about soccer it was really fun practicing, since he was learning and tried to improve with each kick he did. But now it was kind of boring. The first few times he was excited since it was soccer, his favorite sport, one of the reasons he lived. But he already mastered his own level, at least with this kind of training, he couldn't improve and the excitement started to dissapear.

He needed to play with others to feel this 'fire' inside him, to enjoy, to keep on improving, but everyone on his team were bussy. The practice today ended early because some of the players have important exams in the week. Even Sata told him he was having trouble with biology so he was going to study with some of his classmates.

He was running out of ideas when his cellphone started to sound in his pocket. He got a message.

"Hey! The guys and I are going to be in the river bank. Want to play soccer with us? Please answer soon!

–Matsukaze Tenma"

He smiled to himself after reading it. Whether it was a coincidence or not, at least he has something to do today! And with the best of the combinations: Raimon friends, Tenma and soccer!

"Yeah, I'm on my way!
