My breathing went ragged. My legs felt like dead weight and my ears were ringing drowning out the charismatic cheers and shouts of the ever watching and judging crowd.

But everything he was everything he strived to achieve was in this exact moment. The support of his team - his friends...leading them to the top was worth every little excess breathe and every step that raced him towards that goal.

There was only two minutes left with a score of 7-5...Yes. This was what his life was about and he would be damned if he denied his feelings that erupted through out his being when his foot connected to the black and white ball putting all his energy into that kick and striking it passed the goalie and hearing that pleasurable sound when ball hits net.

He defended the ball and passed the ball making an opening as the soccer ball was passed in his direction making that one connection and everything else was instinct.

The feeling of winning was what made him smile and what had made him to what he was in that exact moment. He wouldn't be able to forget. And he wouldn't.

Coming down from the high of winning his team the championship he spotted his mother cheering outwardly and running into him with a loving hug.

"My little Tsukushi I'm very proud of you. " she says endearingly with a smile on her face. She grabs his bag that was on the grass covered ground by his feet, "ready to go?" she adds as he nods looking back at the field once more. Relishing the sweet victory once more and continued his way towards the car.

"So that final play was awesome. Your best yet. " he found he loved it when his mom complimented him on his hard work and boasted all about that final play.

How he had prepared for the game and what he wanted to do more than anything. He could hear his mom laugh filling the car with laughter and joy.

This is what he loved after games. Instead of most teams - his post winning party consisted of him, his mom, and a warm pie full of cheese and pepperoni.

However his smile was soon replaced with fear. It's funny how the driver of the car that crashed into us didn't see the red light.

Didn't see us...didn't see the damage he had done. The wreck made the car toss into the unknown. The screams of his mother was the last sound he heard before everything around him became nothing but complete and utter darkness.
