Konnichi wa! This is my first time to write a fanfic, so please, consider this one. Anyway, spoilers on the time frame... Hey, what do you expect with a 15-year old girl?

Disclaimers applied. I don't own Touya and Yukito, I'm just having fun manipulating them. Blah blah blah...

Chapter 1

Three Simple Words

"Nice game, Touya!"

"Yeah! You're all awesome!"

"I love you Kinomoto-chan!!!!"

Everything in Touya's surrounding seemed to be spinning. Every single one in Seijou High School was rejoicing that their selected team won over Tokachi High School, the defending soccer champion of the state.

At first, their team was in critical shape because of the team captain of Tokachi High School, Shido Nobunaga. He was skilled in playing soccer but Seijou team eventually won.

Everybody, not only the shrieking girls, were trying their best to congratulate the team simultaneously, even their professors were screaming and shouting their names leaving Touya irritated, annoyed and exasperated all at once. Yukito, as always, merely gave them his perpetual and cheerful smile.

It's a miracle that they escaped that wild and extreme crowd. Fortunately, Touya and his best friend Yukito, who helped the soccer team in their match, had their way to the locker room.

"That was really a very good play To-ya" Yukito commented sincerely.

It's been a long time since Touya and Yukito became very good friends, maybe, 2 years or so. And it's been 2 months since Touya gave his powers to Yukito and Yue for them to stay alive. Really, Yukito would have chosen to disappear than for him to hurt Touya. But of course, Touya insisted and he couldn't do anything to stop his determined friend. Nevertheless, I'm thankful for everything that To-ya had done for me. I know that I love him, but then again, I think I'll wait for him to say that himself...

"And so does your play..." Touya responded.

It's been quite a long time since Yukito and Touya became very good friends. And every moment that passed by, Touya grew impatient of himself. At first he was confused about what he feel about his friend. But now... now that I know and is so sure... sure that I love Yuki more than my own life... I couldn't express it to him. Maybe now... maybe later. I couldn't find the right time! But maybe... later is the best time.

"Saw the faces of Tokachi team? Looks like they wanted revenge, right? What if they do want revenge over us?"

"Don't worry Yuki. I've prepared for it. I've mastered taekwondo... for a year now, actually. I'll protect you Yuki, promise." Because I love you...

"Thanks To-ya but I'm also worried for you. What if they hurt you? I can't... I couldn't..."

"Yuki... It will be alright." Wanting to change the subject, he said quickly, "So, wanna go celebrate at my house? I'm sure father would prepare a very good dish for tonight."

"Well, okay..." When will you say it, To-ya? When?

--------------------------------------------

Everything was silent and no sound could be heard in a dark alleyway except the disturbing whispers of a group headed by a certain person.

"We've been cheated!" a huge man, with the characteristics of a typical soccer player furiously said to his teammates.

He was Shido Nobunaga, captain of the soccer team of Tokachi High School. He was chosen captain of the team not only because of his abilities but also because his parents have big influence in their school. Everyone was afraid of him even his professors were like his puppets making him more confident and superior.

"I know something went wrong!" he shouted making his colleagues even more frightened.

"I, Shido Nobunaga cannot be defeated!" His voice was not anymore a disturbing whisper but a frustrated roar.

"Hey, you!" pointing his index finger to his teammate, a skinny man with fear reflected all over his face.

"Yes, Shido-sama?" he replied shakily.

"Have you done what I told you to do? Did you pay the scorers of that game? Say you did!"

"I did! I did! But Shido-sama, the Seijou team was undeniably good! And..."

"Stop it! You dare say that I'm not good enough to defeat them?!"

"No... That's not what I meant... It's just—"

"Shut up! Just shut up!" he ended the conversation with overpowering voice. "We have to do something.... We have to have our revenge! Who's with me?" Expecting that everyone should obey him he continued inconsiderately, "I have a plan. We'll wait for that Kinomoto Touya down the pathway then we'll kick his ass! Got me?"

"Yes Shido-sama!"

-------------------------------------------

"Yuki, I want to tell you something. Actually, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time now." OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!

"What is it, To-ya?" Please say it, To-ya... Say it...

Touya found himself having difficulty in breathing. His heart was pounding so fast as if his chest would burst anytime. He thought it was easy to express his feelings to Yukito in the middle of the well-lighted street headed for his house while the sun was still going down, but he was wrong. He has to stop from walking to regain his breath that was unusually escaping his system extremely fast.

"I... I... Yuki, I... You..." Touya stammered. Damn! Why can't I say it?!

"To-ya... To-ya, there are people..."

"I... wha- what?" Awww, man...

"I said there's a group over there. See?"

It's been two months since Touya gave his powers to his best friend and his best friend's other self. For a second there, he didn't thought about letting Yuki disappear. Since then, he hadn't saw his mother again nor any other spirits that were roaming around freely. I can't even sense that there's a group down there!!

Six meters away from the pair, they could see five people lined horizontally down the pathway recognized as Shido Nobunaga himself and his followers.

Surprised as he was, Yukito cheerfully walked towards the group and offered his hand to Nobunaga for a handshake.

"You're Shido Nobunaga, right? I'm Tsukishiro Yukito, nice to meet you." Yukito greeted quite over excitedly. "You really did very well in our game, Shido-san... I was very impre—"
