Author's Note: Hey guys! This is my first fanfiction so if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry. Also, if the characters are not really in character, really sorry too.
A small explanation of Daku: Daku is not her real name. Her real name is _ _ (You'll find out down the chapters!). Daku is a quiet and a cold character on the outside, but is actually soft on the inside. She lost her parents at a young age and that is the core reason why she became cold. She is adopted and has been living her life playing soccer as her dad (real one) used to be a soccer player. Also, if you read on more, you'll realize that Daku has lots of conversations/thoughts going through her mind as she doesn't like expressing herself in front of people.
Okay, enough of me rambling on, here's the first chapter!
Daku stalked through the grounds of Raimon Junior High. It was officially her first day in the junior high school, and she was looking forward to joining the soccer club.
Just then, she heard a loud commotion. Daku headed in the direction of the school field, where the obvious source was.
Daku leaned against a tree and watched. A blue-haired boy was using a hissatsu shoot to kick through Raimon's second team.
The dust cleared up to reveal the second team all lying on the grassy field, unable to move. The managers of the second team ran over to the players, desperately trying to get them up.
The blue-haired boy smirked and said, "Is that all you've got?"
Just then, two grown man ran towards him. "How could you do this?!"
"I've destroyed Raimon's soccer club," the blue-haired boy's eyes shone with quiet amusement.
"Do you think you can get away with this?" One of the grown men looked horrified as he stared at the boy, beads of perspiration trickling down his panic-stricken face. "Tell us your class!" He demanded weakly.
"Wouldn't know, since today's my first day." The boy looked down with an evil smirk.
A first-year, Daku thought, observing the scene silently.
"New student?" Daku recognized coach Kudou, the coach which had led Japan's national team to victory in the Football Frontier Internationals about 10 years ago. "What's your name?"
The blue-haired boy looked up. "Tsurugi Kyousuke." Then he continued, "So you're coach Kudou?"
"You've destroyed the soccer club?" Coach Kudou questioned Tsurugi.
"Yeah. Soccer's useless, don't you think?" he replied. "It's a waste of time."
Just then, a middle-aged woman with light blue hair ran down to the field. "Coach Kudou!"
Then she faced Tsurugi. "What makes you think you can just start a fight here?" The women demanded.
"Fight?" Tsurugi asked innocently. He looked down at the soccer players. "Did I do any fighting here?"
One of the players, a boy with white and red hair and the second team's captain grimaced and replied, "This guy never used his fists. All he used was that one soccer ball and we…" He recounted how Tsurugi had used a hissatsu shoot and tore through the team just like that.
"No way…"
The goalkeeper clenched his fists. "It's true. That ball he kicked…"
"All it took was one guy to finish all of us." A brunette shut his eyes as if he was remembering the powerful shoot.
Suddenly, the second team's captain glared up at Tsurugi and as he clutched his shoulder, he shouted, "Why are you doing this?!"
"No one needs soccer, so I'm going to destroy it." Tsurugi replied simply. "Starting from today, the soccer club is disbanded."
"Do you think you can just do that?!" The blue-haired women shouted, outraged.
"Oh, I can." Tsurugi glanced at her.
"Do you have a grudge against soccer or something?" "Well, who knows?" Tsurugi then rose up a finger. "But one thing I can say for sure is that wastes of time like soccer aren't needed!" He kicked the soccer ball at his feet high up into the air, and it landed right into the trash bin.
Interesting, Daku nodded slightly.
"Are you insulting soccer?!" The women grew red, flames lighting her eyes.
"Insult? Don't get so worked up, teacher." He said mockingly.
"Wait." Another brunette who was standing beside the blue-haired teacher this whole time suddenly spoke up. Tsurugi looked at the boy, and even Daku was curious what this first-year had to say.
She noticed the brunette was shaking with fury as he started to speak. "Soccer…Soccer isn't a waste of time, and it is needed."
Then he suddenly looked up and started waving his hands wildly, as if the words had just slipped out of his mouth.
"Who are you?" Tsurugi questioned, obviously displeased by the sudden intrusion.
He introduced himself as Matsukaze Tenma, and said that he was joining the soccer club today.
Matsukaze Tenma, eh? Daku stared at the brunette.
"Too bad, for there's no more soccer club. Go join another club." Tsurugi said, laughing lightly.
Tenma disagreed, saying he had come to Raimon to play soccer.
"You seem pretty confident about your soccer," Tsurugi commented. "How about showing me this soccer of yours?" Then with a powerful kick from Tsurugi, Tenma was lying on the ground with his hand to his stomach.
Things just keep getting interesting, for the first day of school, Daku tilted her head and continued watching the scene.
The blue-haired teacher ran to Tenma and asked if he was alright. Then she turned to Tsurugi and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Tsurugi curled his lip in distaste. "It ticks me off when newbies like you start talking about soccer like they know everything about it."
Surprisingly, Tenma stood and picked up the soccer ball. "I do know, I know what soccer is like!"
Tsurugi smirked and challenged Tenma to a contest, which he accepted after a moment of hesitation.
Tsurugi placed the ball under his feet and explained that if Tenma managed to steal the ball, it was his win.
The chairman approached and when the blue-haired teacher asked him to stop the contest, he allowed it instead.
When the teacher asked Tenma if he was going to be okay, he replied that he practiced dribbling by himself every day.
What an amateur, Daku thought disapprovingly.
A moment later, Tsurugi announced the start of the contest.
He kicked the ball with his knee, keeping possession as Tenma flew at him countless times. But Tenma didn't give up and continued his fruitless attempts to steal the ball from Tsurugi.
This is getting boring, Daku turned away and started walking off. Then she heard a loud thud. She turned back to the field and saw Tenma lying on the ground, the ball having been driven into his stomach. But he picked himself up unsteadily and continued taking on the blows that Tsurugi aimed directly at him.
Then Daku heard the sound of the chairman's low voice nearby. She leaned towards them and heard their conversation. "…A seed. That technique isn't of the normal breed."
Seed? Does the chairman mean those special trained Seeds from Fifth Sector? Daku thought. She cleared her mind and looked back at the game, staring particularly at Tsurugi. A seed…
She snapped out of her thoughts when Tsurugi kicked up the ball. Then he kicked his hissatsu shoot, Death Sword, towards Tenma.
Is he an idiot?! Daku stared at Tenma as he planted his feet firmly to the ground and faced the shoot head-on.
Then her eyes widened in surprise. Tenma jumped up, and she saw something form behind him as he used a heading to clear the shoot. He stepped on the ball."I got it!" He grinned in delight.
Daku turned her attention to Tsurugi when he kicked the ball at Tenma angrily. Another ball entered from the side and hit the ball that would have hit Tenma.
Daku glanced up and saw a gray-haired boy standing there in the Raimon soccer uniform.
"You guys! What are you doing on the soccer club's sacred grounds?!" He glared down at Tenma and Tsurugi.
"Shindou-kun!" The blue-haired teacher exclaimed.
The gray-haired boy introduced himself as the captain of Raimon's soccer club, Shindou Takuto. Behind him, 10 other players all in the soccer uniform emerged. Shindou announced that they were the Raimon Eleven.
Then he asked again, "What are you doing on the soccer grounds?"
"Soccer," Tsurugi replied. "Can't you tell?"
Shindou narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the second team then advanced down the slope with his team behind him. "Don't get so high and mighty just because you beat the second team!"
Tsurugi looked at them as Shindou paused beside coach Kudou to ask who he was. "Probably someone brought in from Fifth Sector," was the coach's reply.
The coach then turned to Tsurugi and asked for the reason why Tsurugi was here. He replied that it was to reform Raimon's soccer club.
Then he snapped his fingers and introduced 10 new players who seemingly came out of nowhere, saying they were the new Raimon Eleven.
Shindou furrowed his eyebrows together. "Replacements? We're the real Raimon Eleven!"
Tsurugi then said that he had been waiting for them. After that, he told them that they were going against each other.
Shindou questioned Tsurugi if he had made the proper arrangements for the match.
Tsurugi didn't reply. Instead, he kicked up the ball and held it in his hand, saying that Shindou and his team didn't understand what kind of situation they were in.
Tsurugi then kicked the ball straight towards the old soccer club room where its door got knocked down by the shoot. The plate that signified that it was the soccer club room was also split in half.
Daku widened her eyes when he shot.
Tsurugi laughed and walked right up to Shindou, placing a hand on his shoulder. "This isn't a request, it's an order."
Shindou clenched his fists while Tsurugi announced that they were starting.
Daku entered the soccer building and took a sit in the spectator stand. She watched the match intently as they started.
"We will now begin the match between Raimon and Black Knights!" The temporary referee, Furukabu, announced and blew the whistle.
Shindou and Minamisawa started by kicking-off. Daku observed silently until coach Kudou announced to switch players.
"In place of Minamisawa Atsushi is Matsukaze Tenma."
What?! Daku stared in disbelief when the coach said those words.
She composed herself and snorted inwardly. The Black Knights have already taken 10 points from Raimon, what exactly is coach Kudou planning, letting an amateur like Tenma suddenly join?
Daku decided that she'd see his intentions through the match.
They resumed the match with a throw-in from Black Knights. Tsurugi received the ball with ease and started kicking balls aimed directly at the Raimon players.
A moment later, Daku realized that Tenma and Shindou were the only ones left standing from Raimon.
Furukabu blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first-half. Daku glanced at the scoreboard. Black Knights were currently in a one-sided lead with a score of 10 to 0.
Daku shook her head when Furukabu blew the whistle for the second-half to begin. She studied the game with light purple eyes, picking out weak and strong players.
Then, Black Knights started the kick-off.
Tsurugi cut through Raimon, leaving them all injured.
Mizumori, one of Raimon's players, held his shoulder and left the field, telling the rest of his teammates that he couldn't handle it any longer.
What a coward. Daku thought, before noticing that Tsurugi had passed the ball to Tenma. "Bring it," he smirked.
Daku saw Tenma's eyes flash with determination as he flew forward into enemy territory.
Impressive. Daku tilted her head slightly when Tenma's skills suddenly improved as he dodged Black Knight's defenses.
I see, keeping possession of the ball, eh? Daku understood what Tenma was trying to do almost immediately as he dribbled back to Raimon's goal. Even when his teammates called for him to pass, he did not and instead veered away from them.
Tsurugi snapped his fingers and at once the Black Knights team was surrounding Tenma.
Daku looked down and saw coach Kuroki of the Black Knights team nod to Tsurugi. Tsurugi nodded back in understanding and walked right up to Tenma.
What is he going to do? Daku couldn't help but wonder.
Tsurugi told Tenma that his face ticked him off and he summoned his Avatar. "Sword Saint Lancelot!"
Tsurugi advanced towards Tenma when he was surprised and stole the ball from him quickly. Tenma was thrown back and he rolled on the field.
Tenma stood up over and over as Tsurugi used Avater kicks to hurt him over and over.
This is getting kind of boring… Daku sighed inwardly and propped her chin up using her hand.
Suddenly, she heard Shindou screaming. Daku looked up almost immediately and saw him summon an Avatar.
Huh. Miracles do happen, She thought.
Then Daku stood up and smiled. Heh, a predictable ending. No use watching the match now. She walked from the spectator stand towards the hall for the induction ceremony. Lots of interesting things happening this morning, eh?
So, I put Episode 1 and Episode 2 together! I was thinking that each chapter will contain at least 2-3 episodes inside. Otherwise, the chapter may either be too long or has a rather abrupt ending. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
