Pant...pant...pant...boing...scccrrr...FWAP!

"Yatta! You scored another goal Kazemaru! Great, great! We have to keep training with an attitude like this!" Endou, the Captain and goalkeeper of the Raimon Soccer team,shouted. The orange headband wearing boy and his team were practicing by the Riverbank, for their upcoming match against Mikage Sennou. Two members of the other team had arrived where Endou and his team were practicing, showing off their skills. Shockingly, one of the ace strikers, Arata, performed Goenji's hissatsu, Fire Tornado . Even though the Raimon team became slightly nervous, they trained as if their lives depended on it, well most of them. It was around noon when all the spies had dissappeared from the bridge, relieving the tired team. It was a sunny ,cloudless day, the air being clean and cool.

Max was dribbling a ball, trying to get past Handa and Kabeyama. Shourin was practicing his kicks with Kurimatsu and Shishido. They practiced untill sweat ran down their faces like a faucet.

"Fire Tornado!" Goenji didn't show it, but on the inside he was a tad bit worried about the next match. After Takeshi and Arata left, a pang of nervousness hit him. He forced himself to focus on training, and thus performed his well-known hissatsu. The ball came flying at Endou, streaks of flames following behind it.

PANG!

Goenji's eyes widened slightly as the ball hit the metal pole of the goal post, and fell on the ground a few inches from Endou's feet. Some of his teammates sensed something was bugging him, he NEVER misses with Fire Tornado.

"Oi, Goenji. You alright?" Kazemaru shouted, standing by Someoka, who was also looking curiously at the ace striker.

Goenji glared at the ground before calling out,"Endou! Pass me the ball, I'm going to try that again."

Scrrr...boing...

"Fire Tornado!"

And again the ball missed, instead hitting a tree to the left of the goalpost. A loud yelp was heard, startling some of the members of the Raimon team. They gasped quietly as a female fell down from the leafy tree, face first, on the ground. She looked disoriented, her eyes swirling and a dizzy smile on her lips.

"The hell?"

"Who's that?"

"Is she alright?"

The members and managers rushed over to her, some in concern, others with rage. The next thing the pain stricken girl knew, she was slammed to the trunk of the tree,a boy around her age, with a pink buzz cut and dark skin , gripping her collar furiously.

"Someoka!" Max's eyes widened at his teammate's strange behaviour. The team had a good look at her, messy chin length green hair, with a section of it behind her bangs tied up, pointing upwards ,shaped like a big leaf, red eyes filled with fear, and fair skin mostly covered by her blue jumpsuit.

" DAMMIT,WHAT IS IT WITH YOU SPIES? WILL YOU JUST LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?" Someoka roared in her face, making the girl smile nervously,her hands up, palms facing the boy in a defensive manner, while visibily shaking with fear. She heard some of the other members telling him to calm down, but the young boy looked like he was going to beat the girl to a bloody pulp. He was at least a head taller than her.

"Th-this isn't what it looks like! I-i swear! I swear I wasn't spying!" the girl stumbled over her words, her legs shaking shamefully in fear. Some members stared cautiously at her, while others waited for an explanation as to why she was hiding in a tree.

"Then why do you have this?" Everyone turned their heads to Goenji , who held an expensive looking camera. The girl visibly paled, wondering how he managed to sneak that, without being noticed.

"Give that back! Please, it's my mom's! Please don't damage it, she'll kill me!" The light green haired girl desperatly tried to loosen Someoka's grip on her, but she failed miserably. Her hands flapped in the air trying to reach the camera in Goenji's hands.

"Goenji, check the pictures. I'm sure she was taking shots of us." Someoka commanded, not letting go of the girl, and instead fixing her with a glare so intense she squeaked in fear.

"Hey! Hey! That's not yours, you can't just look through it like that! Give it back!" the female growled at Goenji, anger burning in her fear filled eyes," And can you let go of me now! I'll-",The girl stopped, realizing everyone was ignoring her and instead examined the shots she took from her hiding spot.

"This one was I was doing Fire Tornado. This one is Endou catching it. Kabeyama and Shourin dribbling the ball..." The red eyed girl grinded her teeth in annoyance. She coughed, thus gaining the attention of the soccer team, this time there were no gentle faces.

"What the heck is your problem?" the blue haired teenager, Kazemaru,scowled.

"Yeah, who do you think you are?" Haruna put her hands on her hips, glaring.

"Have you done enough spying for today? What school are you from huh? Mikage Sennou? Teikoku?"

The girl frantically pulled out something from the inside of her jacket, an ID," I'm from Raimon Junior High like you guys! See, see?" she waved it around, slightly relaxed as some of them became visibly relieved,"I'm taking pictures for my mother, who is an artist and photographer. She supports you guys alot and she told me to get good shots of you guys doing those hissatsu moves, so she can paint really cool pictures and hang it up in school!"

"You really think we're going to believe that? For all we know you could be an exchange student, that came to Raimon just to spy on us for other teams." Someoka scowled, pulling her collar harder, making her wince in pain.

"Wait a minute..." Shishido mumbled, scratching his chin in deep thought.

"You're from Raimon? We've never seen you before!" Kurimatsu shouted, confused.

"Oi, Someoka. Leave her alone, all we have to do is erase all the photos and we're safe." Goenji stated, examining the camera for the button he was looking for.

"E-eh? No! No, please don't do that!" The girl helped, her red eyes wide.

Someoka had let go of her collar, and stepped a few feet away still weary. The girl's face looked crestfallen, "I really am from Raimon."she murmured under her breath. She looked up, a blush of embarrsement across her nose," I know all of you! Some of us are even in the same class!" her shoulders slumped as they gave her blank faces. She huffed, angerly," Gyah! None of you know me or heard about me? Ochiba Jukai! Ring any bells?"

"Oh! I think I remember you! Weren't you the one that used to get bullied by Fujiyo and Ryu? 'Spinach' is what everyone used to call you , right?" Endou exclaimed pointing a gloved finger at the red eyed girl's hair. She hung her head down in embarrassment, pleading for them not to call her that.

"Please just call me Jukai." She stated with a bright smile, glad that someone actually remembers her.

"I think I remember you too." Kino mumbled, tapping her temple, making Jukai perk up.

"R-really? I'm glad! Nobody ever remembers me!" She grinned toothily, and then turned to Goenji with a nervous smile,"Umm...can I have my camera now, please?".The platinum blonde nodded and handed her the device, still a little bit suspicious. The girl scratched her cheek uncomfortable under all the gazes,," Sorry about that. It wasn't a very good first impression huh?"

"Its alright," Endou smiled, patting her shoulder," If you wanted to take pictures of us, why didn't you just ask us, instead of hiding?"

"I didn't know how to approach you guys," She rubbed her neck nervously," I'm not really good at meeting new people, or so my mom says. Besides, this is my first time taking pictures of you guys. My mom was the one who used to take them, but recently she's been busy so she told me to do it. I'm not even into photography or art."

"Then what ARE you into?" Handa asked his big brown eyes filled with curiousity. The girl grinned and picked up the soccer ball, which hit her face a few minutes ago.

"Soccer!" Endou's eyes widened with joy," But I'm not really good at it. I practice with my dad sometimes, though."

"Hey, hey! Do you know any hissatsus?" Endou grinned, fire practically burning in his eyes.

The girl nodded and stuck out her index finger," Only one, my dad taught me it. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. It's pretty weak..."

"Why don't you show it to us?" Kabeyama smiled, and Shourin nodded. They were excited to see a new hissatsu, sharing the same feelings as most if the other members.

Endou smiled," Yeah Jukai, let's see if it's too powerful for me to stop."

The girl paled, nervousness written all over her face," I don't know...it really is a weak hissatsu" the girl found herself in the middle of the soccer field, a ball under her red sneakers, and a grinning Endou standing in the middle of the goalpost. The boy pounded his fists together.

"Let's see it, Jukai!"

The girl nodded, and dribbled the ball a few feet, while the other members of the team watched from the sidelines, anticipation clearly written on their faces.

"I don't like her." Someoka stated, crossing his arms and staring at the girl.

"Why? She isn't a spy or anything." Megane stated, Handa nodded in agreement.

"She seems nice." Kazemaru mumbled quietly.

Someoka continued,"You guys trust people too easily, you gotta be careful sometimes." The members became silent and stared intently at the girl, who jumped in the air following the ball.

"Vine Storm!" A few vines came out of the ground, moving slightly, as the girl kicked the ball, leaves following after it. It was a horrible kick, to say the least. The ball was wobbly and it was easily caught. As the girl landed she smiled embarrassed," The vines were supposed to wrap around the defender's legs, but there wasn't anyone there, you did great Endou, I still have to work on my kick...it's not strong enough." Some members stared in wonder at the vines which slowly dissappeared in the ground.

"Whoa!"

"That was awesome!" The team ran to where Endou and Jukai were standing.

"Hey what would you say about joining our team?" Endou smiled, tucking the ball under his arm.

"M-me? Really?" Jukai's eyes twinkled with happiness and shock.

"What-? No way, we don't need her!" Someoka shouted making everyone look at him in surprise.

Jukai grinned sheepishly," I'll have to ask my parents first. Tomorrow I'll have my answer is that okay?"

Endou nodded and stuck out his hand, in which Jukai shook. He told her that it would be nice to have another person on the team and that he hopes her parents would agree. After a few minutes she left saying she had to go run errands.

"Wow I hope we have her on our team!" Shourin shouted, while Shishido agreed. Someoka and Goenji were the only ones quiet, the pink haired teen angry while the latter was just suspicious. Someoka voiced his thoughts, in which most disagreed with. Goenji had defended him saying that they shouldn't trust her too quickly. Many members stood in silence, pondering about the mysterious girl.

"She was just doing her mom a favor, guys. Calm down, besides she's from Raimon. She wouldn't be a spy for others!" Endou grinned toothily..

"Endou's right, give her a chance, she might not be so bad." Kino smiled.

"Lets get back to training!"

"Yeah!"

While the others went to go practice, Someoka glared back at the direction in which Jukai left. No way was he going to be fooled by her, he was going to keep his gaurd up 24/7 from now on.

A young teenager sat on a bench near the Steel Tower Plaza, red eyes glistening during the sunset. Inazuma Town's lights began twinkling along with the stars, while the shadows began to dissapear.

CLICK

A smile spread on the girl's lips," That was a nice shot. Mom's gonna love it." she carefully placed the camera inside her tote bag and pulled something round, out of it. It was a white and black soccerball. Alone, she began to juggle the ball with her knees, pondering over what happened today. Her parents had agreed to her admission in the Raimon Soccer team, much to her pleasure, but she felt paranoid or rather afraid that she was going to be a horrible addition to the team, which is why she decided to come here to practice. Many minutes passed and the sky was a dull light blue, mixed with faded shades of purple and pink. The green haired girl kept kicking the ball towards the tree trunk, trying to make her kicking more powerful. She kicked it again and it bounced back, crashing in her face, and making her fall backwards with another dizzy smile on her face. "Ouch..."

She stood up, rubbing her face and froze when a gruff voice spoke," You may have fooled everyone but not me. I still don't trust you."

The red eyed girl looked back, and her eyes widened slightly,"Someoka! I didn't expect you here..."

She felt uncomfortable under the stoic expression of the pink haired teenager. She could see the intensity in his eyes, his wide nose wrinkling with disgust," If you're joining our team, you'll be immediatly kicked out by me if you do anything suspicious."

With that he passed by her, roughly throwing his shoulder onto her own making her stumble to the side. She didn't reply, she didn't know HOW to reply to that. What was with him? Why was he so suspicious about her? What's so special about Jukai anyway, she's not well known, she's a 'loser' in many people's eyes, she has a boring family. There was no reason to be suspicious...sure she fell out of a tree and was caught taking pictures but she had a good reason to!

Dread started to build up in her, thinking of being on a team with Someoka. It would be rather awkward. She sighed , feeling down in the dumps, throwing her soccerball in her bag before putting it over her shoulder and walking home. Her parents would cheer her up, her mother with baked sweets and her father with his ridiculous jokes.
