~ Chapter One: Hi, my name is Sayura Ayumi ~

Ayumi's P.O.V.

''Ayumi-san, are you all right?'' My manager asked me.

I sat down on a chair and looked to the ground with my eyes closed, while I tried to breath slowly.

''Yeah, just a little bit dizzy.'' I replied, while I opened my eyes again and gave him a smile.

My manager handed me a bottle.

''Here, drink some water.''

''Thanks.'' I replied, while I opened the bottle and drank some water.

''You need to rest more often. You know you have health problems, right?'' My manager said to me.

I nodded.

''I know, but I love performing too much. I don't want to disappoint my fans. They're everything to me. Especially now my parents…''

I couldn't finish my sentence. A few months ago, my parents died because of the collapsing of a building. Together with my little sister. Me and my brother were the only ones who survived the collapsing. They called us ''The Miracles'' in the hospital. I went in a coma, but woke up three months later. My brother only stayed in a coma for a month. He didn't had any health problems in the time after the accident. Since the accident, he's very overprotective about me. I realized that life can be short. So, from that point, I started to perform again as a singer, just like I did before the accident.

''I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.'' My manager said to me, while he took my bottle back.

I smiled at him.

''Yeah…'' I said.

At that point, my brother walked in. He was a guitar player and most of the time on a tour through Europe, Asia or America.

''Onii-chan, you're back!'' I shouted, while I stood up and hugged him.

''Hey, little sis. How are you doing?'' He asked me.

I smiled.

''I'm fine.'' I said.

I didn't saw that my manager was shaking his head in disagreement behind my back, but my brother did.

''Are you sure?'' He asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah, really. How was your tour through Asia?'' I asked.

My brother smiled.

''It was amazing. The audience in every city was very enthusiastic. It really pumped me up. In two months, I start my tour through America.'' He said.

I pouted.

''In two months already. That's a short time. How long will you stay away then?'' I asked.

''For seven months.'' My brother replied.

I sighted.

''You're going to be fine without me, right?'' My brother asked me.

''I will, but… It's just… You're the only person I have left. And now you're leaving me too…'' I said, while I turned my face away from him.

He sighted and laid my hand against my cheek, so he could let me look at him.

''Ayumi, you know I really love you, right? If I'm not in sight, that doesn't mean in not by your side.'' He said with a smile.

I smiled back.

''I know, Onii-chan. It's just… I'm gonna miss you so much.'' I said, while I felt like I almost had to cry.

He hugged me.

''Hey, don't go too fast. I'm still here for two months. We can spend a lot of time together. I'm going to watch you perform and tomorrow, you go to your new school, right? I'll be there for you.'' He said.

I smiled.

''Yeah, that's true. I'm happy you're back, Onii-chan. I've really missed you.'' I said, while I hugged him.

He hugged me back even tighter.

''Me too, sis. Me too…'' He said.

''Ayumi, how is your dizziness. Are you feeling better right now?'' My manager asked me, when I let go of my brother.

I nodded.

''Yeah, it's less then before.'' I replied.

''But not entirely gone?'' He asked me a bit suspicious.

I smiled.

''Don't worry, Okuni-san. I'll be fine.''

Okuni, my manager, smiled.

''Okay then.'' He said.

The truth was, I wasn't feeling fine at all. But I didn't want to worry my brother, now that he's finally back. He knows I still have health problems after my coma, but still, I want to show him I can handle everything.

''What about having dinner together, sis?'' My brother asked me.

''I would love to.'' I replied. He grabbed my hand and together, we walked out of the dressing room.

I just finished a show and I saw the fans standing outside the concert hall, waiting for me to give them autographs.

''Onii-chan, wait. I still have to go to my fans.'' I said.

''Are you sure about that? You look tired.'' My brother said a little bit concerned.

''Don't worry, I'll be fine.'' I said, while I smiled.

I walked down the hallway and in the middle of it, I collapsed. The last thing I heard was the voice of my brother screaming my name, then, everything turned black.

Goenji's P.O.V.

I was sitting in science class and was watching bored out of my window. I saw all my teammates work hard on their projects, but today I couldn't bring up the concentration to do anything serious.

''Something wrong, Goenji?'' Kidou, my lab partner, asked.

''Oh, no, Just daydreaming.'' I replied.

He smiled.

''Something on your mind?'' He asked.

I shook my head.

''No, nothing special.'' I replied.

Kidou smiled.

''Onii-chan, I think I'm doing something wrong.'' Kidou and I heard the concerned face of Haruna behind us.

She was doing the project with Aki and her glass with liquid was boiling really strange. Kidou decided to help them and I went back to my window and my thoughts. I looked up into the class, when I heard three knocks on the door. The headmistress walked inside. Behind her, a girl walked which I've never seen before.

''Class, can I please have your attention?'' Our headmistress asked.

Everybody went silent and turned towards her.

''From today, there will be a new student in your class. Please be nice to her.'' She explained.

She laid her hand on the shoulder of the girl. She had long, brown, straight, waist-length hair and a white ribbon on the left side of her head. Her blue eyes stood big.

''Kon'nichiwa, I'm Sayura Ayumi, but everybody can call me Ayumi-san or just Ayumi.'' She said shy.

I examined her. She was wearing the school uniform, a grey skirt that reached her knees and a white blouse with a blue ribbon. She was fidgeting on her skirt and I immediately could tell she was a shy girl.

''Kon'nichiwa, Ayumi-san.'' The class replied to her.

''Ayumi-san, you can sit next to Fuyuka.'' The headmistress said.

I realized that was the spot in front of me. Fuyuka raised her hand to show Ayumi her place.

''Over here, Ayumi-san.'' Fuyuka said with a smile.

''Hai.'' Ayumi replied with a small blush.

She walked to her spot and sat down on her chair.

''All right, now that's done, please continue with your projects.'' Our science teacher said.

Fuyuka started to explain the project to Ayumi and she nodded very cute, every time she understood something. I accidentally wiped my book off my table. I turned a bit red and wanted to stood up to get it, but Ayumi already bend for me, picked up my book and handed it to me.

''Here.'' She said with a smile.

''Arigato.'' I replied, while I took my back.

She smiled.

''What's your name?'' She asked me.

''I'm Goenji Shuuya.'' He said.

''Nice to meet you, Goenji-san.'' Ayumi said to me with a smile.

''Nice to meet you too.'' I replied to her.

Then, she went back to talk to Fuyuka and I sat back on my spot. I noticed a grinning Kidou beside me.

''What?'' I asked a bit annoyed.

''Oh, nothing.'' He replied.

He pretended he was suddenly really interested in the project. I shook my head and went on with the project, until the school bell rang.

''Minna, you only have the next lesson left to finish your project. After then, I will give marks to everybody.'' Our teacher said.

''Hai.'' The class replied.

Everybody stood up, grabbed their school bags and headed for the exit.

''Finally, soccer practice.'' Kidou said, while he walked next to me.

''Yeah, I'm really in the mood for some soccer.'' I replied.

We headed towards the soccer field and saw all the others already gathering. We went to the changing rooms and changed into our soccer clothes.

''Hey, what do you guys think of that new girl that joined our school today?'' Endou asked.

''She looks cute.'' Fubuki said.

''Fubuki, you big flirt. Can't you just leave one girl alone?'' Midorikawa said laughing.

''Hey, I don't do it on purpose! I can't help it girls like me.'' Fubuki replied.

''Wow, arrogance.'' Hiroto said laughing.

All the boys start laughing.

''What was her name again?'' Kidou asked.

''Sayura Ayumi, I thought.'' I said.

''Wow, Goenji remembers her name. Quite interesting…'' Endou said teasing.

''Shut up, Endou.'' I replied.

''Come on guys, stop teasing Goenji.'' Toramaru said.

''Do you always have to stand up for him, Toramaru?'' Kogure asked.

''He's my senpai!'' Toramaru shouted.

''All right, guys. Stop it already. We can better focus on soccer practice. Girls come later.'' Tachimukai said.

''He's right. Come on, guys. Let's practice!'' Tsunami said.

''Hai!'' Everybody replied.

They walked back to the soccer field where they saw Aki, Haruna and Fuyuka already standing with coach Kudou.

''All right, minna. We start with running some rounds around the field. Endou, you take the head position.'' He said on his strict voice.

''Yosh! Ike, minna!'' Endou shouted.

Me and all the others started to run. Then, suddenly in my eye corner I saw someone standing. Am I imagining things or was that…

Ayumi's P.O.V.

I quickly hided behind my tree again. Damn, did Goenji-san saw me? I looked slowly and careful back. The group ran further. I sighted.

''That was close…'' I whispered.

From behind my tree, I watched the group their soccer practice. I smiled. I loved soccer really much. I used to play it with my little sister. My face turned a bit sad again. Lil sis, I'll play again. For us two.

''Kyaa.'' I screamed.

Goenji looked into my direction. I quickly hided behind my tree again. I didn't want to be discovered. I slowly watched beside the tree. I saw Goenji looking suspicious in my direction, but he turned his gaze away. I sighted and lend back against the tree. I was too shy to ask if I could train with them, so I could only just watch from a distance.

''Aha, I was right.'' I heard Goenji's voice behind me.

I turned around to the sixteen year old.

''Go-Goenji-san!'' I said.

He smiled at me.

''Why are you hiding?'' He asked me.

''I gotta go!'' I shouted and started to run away.

''Matte!'' He shouted at me, but I ignored him and continued running.

A big distance away from the soccer field, I stopped running and tried to breath normally again.

''Sis, there you are!'' I heard my brother's voice behind me.

''Onii-chan!'' I shouted, while I hugged him.

''How was your first day on your new school?'' He asked me.

''It was great.'' I replied. ''I already got friends with a girl called Fuyuka.''

''That's great, Sis. How are you feeling?'' He asked me.

''I'm feeling fine.'' I replied.

''Really? No dizziness, headache or anything else?'' He asked a bit concerned.

I shook my head.

''Nothing. I feel good.'' I replied with a smile.

''I'm glad.'' My brother replied. ''Well, let's go home. You need to sleep. You have another concert tonight.''

''Sshhtt! Not so loud. Nobody must know that I'm a superstar.'' I shushed my brother.

My brother nodded.

''I understand. Don't you ever get tired of your secret identity?'' He asked me.

I shook my head.

''It's ideal. I can go to school and hang out with friends as a normal person and perform at the same time. I don't have trouble with paparazzi in my private stuff and don't have fake friends who only like me because of my fame and money.'' I explained with a smile.

My brother smiled too.

''Okay, it's your life. Well, let's go home.''

Goenji's P.O.V.

''All right, minna. That was a good soccer practice!'' Endou said, while he wiped away his sweat.

''Yeah, I'm totally exhausted.'' Tobitaka said with a sight.

''You guys trained hard. I have a little surprise for you guys. Because of your hard work, I'll take you to the Miracle Café tonight to watch a superstar perform there live.'' Coach Kudou said with a smile.

''Who's performing?'' Aki asked.

''Do you know Flowerr?'' Coach Kudou asked.

Aki, Haruna and Fuyuka started to scream like fan girls.

''Are you kidding? Of course we know her. Everybody knows her! She famous over the whole world.'' Haruna shouted.

''We're going to have a great time.'' Endou said.

''Well, be there at eight o' clock.'' Coach Kudou said.

''Hai.'' The team replied.

Then, they all left the soccer field. I turned back into my thoughts. Flowerr, huh? She's really famous. How did coach Kudou got those tickets?I shrugged my shoulders.

Ayumi's P.O.V.

I was sitting in my dressing room and looked into the mirror. My dresses Jean-Paul came with my blonde hair wig.

''Ready for another show, Ayumi?'' He asked me, while he made sure my wig was sitting well.

''Yes, Jean-Paul. This café is close to my school. I'm a bit nervous. What if someone recognizes me?'' I asked him.

Jean-Paul shook his head.

''I don't believe that's going to happen. They only saw you one day and your disguise is really good.'' He said.

Then, he applied my make-up, handed me my dark, skinny jeans and blue-glitter top and my white boots with heels. I changed into my clothes and Jean-Paul did a last check-up.

''You look gorgeous.'' He said proud to me.

''All thanks to you, Jean-Paul. You're an true artist.'' I said.

Jean-Paul blushed.

''Your kind personality will always stay the same.'' He said with a smile.

Then, someone knocked on my door.

''Come in.'' I said.

My brother stepped into my dressing room.

''Did you eat enough? Are you thirsty? Is there anything you need?'' He asked me.

''Wow, easy Onii-chan. I'm fine, really.'' I said to him with a smile.

He smiled back and handed me a water bottle.

''Shine like a star tonight, okay?'' He asked me.

I nodded.

''I will.'' I replied.

Then, my manager came into my room.

''Five minutes left, Ayumi-san.'' He said.

''Hai. Thank you.'' I replied to him.

I took a deep breath.

''You look nervous.'' My brother said.

''I am.'' I replied.

''Don't worry. It will be fine. And I believe in you.'' My brother said to me with a smile.

I smiled back at him.

''Arigato, Onii-chan.''

He took my hand and pulled me off my chair.

''Let's go to the stage.'' He said to me.

I nodded and followed him. We stopped at the bottom of a some small stairs. Upstairs was the stage. I waited for the red lamp to glow, just like we've practiced by the repetition. I sighted deep when it started to light up.

''Good luck, sis.'' My brother said to me.

I gave him a peck on the cheek.

''I will.'' I said.

Then, I walked on the stairs and entered the stage. I heard my fans screaming out my artist name.

''FLOWERR!''

I smiled and waved to the audience.

''Hi everyone. Thank you so much for coming.'' I said into my microphone.

''Flowerr, we love you!'' Two girls at the front shouted.

I winked at them and they started to scream.

''I see you guys are very enthusiastic tonight. That's great. Well then, shall we start with the first number?'' I asked to my fans.

They screamed as a reply.

''All right. Flowerr band, hit it!'' I shouted.

My band behind me started the intro of the first song Secret Identity.

I nodded on the beat and sang my first couplet.

''Behind this face, there's another girl.

Someone who's scared to face the world.

But when I'm on the stage,

I feel like I'm in outer space.

With all of my fans by my side,

I don't need anywhere to hide,

Just sing this song with me,

and make my heart feel free.''

My fans sung the lines with me and it made me feel really proud. I clapped in my hands on the beat and the fans did the same. After three songs, the music stopped.

''Thank you guys, you are an amazing audience! Me and my band are going to take a break now. We'll be back in a quarter.'' I said.

My fans clapped and I walked off the stage. Just when I almost reached the end, I saw in my eye corner in the back on the left side of the café all of the Inazuma Japan members. My heart almost stopped beating and I looked shocked. Then, I was off stage.

''That can't be…'' I said to myself.

''What's wrong, sis?'' My brother asked me.

''The soccer team of my school is here. What if they recognized me?'' I asked in panic.

My brother shook his head.

''Impossible. They only know you for a couple of hours and you're way too good disguised. And where do they sit?'' My brother asked.

''In the back on the left side.'' I replied.

''See, then it's even harder to take a good look at you. Believe me, they don't relate you to Ayumi.'' My brother said soothing.

I took a deep breath and smiled.

''You're right. Thanks.'' I said to my brother.

He laid his hand on my head.

''It's cool. That's where I'm for. Besides, you were amazing on that stage.'' He said to me with a wink.

''Arigato!'' I said thankful to him.

''There you are, Ayumi-san. I was looking for you. Great first half of your show.'' My manager said to me, while he handed me a water bottle.

''Thanks Okuni-san.'' I said to my manager.

I opened my water bottle and drank some water.

''I really needed that.'' I said, when I finished drinking.

My manager smiled.

''Are you still feeling okay, Ayumi-san? You've been to school today too. You must be tired.'' He said.

I shook my head.

''No, I feel fine. I can still handle it.'' I said to him.

My brother smiled.

''I'm so proud. But you have to tell us on time when you don't feel all right anymore. Promise me that.'' He said to me.

I nodded.

''I promise.'' I replied.

I smiled at him.

''Hey, I think I'm going to the restroom. Be right back.'' I said, while I turned around.

I walked back to me dressing room, when suddenly someone bumped against me.

''Gomenasai.'' I heard a guy's voice say.

I looked up and tried to hide my shocking expression. The guy was none other but Goenji.

''It's okay.'' I said to him with a smile.

Then, Goenji realize who he bumped into. His eyes widened.

''Flowerr? Oh no, I bumped into you?'' He said shocked.

''Well, thanks. Is that a bad thing?'' I asked teasingly.

He grinned.

''No, of course not. It's an honor to meet you.'' He said to me with a smile.

I smiled back.

''Thanks. What's your name?'' I asked him, while I already knew it.

''I'm Goenji Shuuya.'' He replied.

''Nice to meet you, Goenji. Are you enjoying my performance?'' I asked him.

''Yes, I do. Actually, I'm here with a big group and the girls of the group are a big fan of you.'' He explained.

I smiled.

''So you actually 'came along' to company everybody?'' I asked teasingly again.

He laughed.

''You could say it like that.'' He replied.

''Goenji, can I ask you something. Why are you in this area? This is backstage.'' I asked him.

''I tried to search for the toilet, but I got lost I guess. I never come here.'' He said to me.

I laughed.

''Same problem here.'' I replied.

He smiled too. Then, I saw my manager coming.

''Three minutes left.'' He said to me.

Then, he noticed Goenji.

''What are you doing here. You're not allowed to be here.'' He shouted.

Then, my manager turned to me.

''Shall I call the security?'' He asked to me.

I shook my head.

''No, it's fine. This guy is really nice. He just got lost on his way to the toilet.'' I explained.

My manager's attitude softened. He turned to Goenji.

''Let me show you.'' He said with a smile.

Goenji followed him and I went to my dressing room to go to the toilet. When I looked into the mirror, I saw a little blush on my cheeks what didn't came form my make-up.

''Why am I blushing?'' I asked myself.

I walked back to the stairs beneath the stage and took a deep breath again.

''What was that about? I heard Okuni-san talking about a boy who sneaked backstage.'' My brother asked me.

I laughed and explained the story.

''It could be a lie, you know?'' He said to me.

I shook his head.

''No, he doesn't lie. I got to know him already a bit today on school.'' I said.

Then, the red light started to light up again.

''I have to go.'' I said to my brother.

He gave me a thumbs up.

''All right. Give all you've got.'' He said.

''Thanks.'' I replied with a smile.

Then, I walked the stairs again and entered the stage.

''Minna, we're back.'' I said into my microphone. ''Who's up for another song?''

The audience started to scream again. I sung one of my songs of my new album. The audience already sung it along. While I was singing, I started to look in the back of the café on the left side. I smiled when I saw Goenji sitting down. He still wore his trainings clothes over his soccer clothes. I putted my focus somewhere else, otherwise it would become too obvious.

''All right.'' I said at the end of my song.

People clapped and I even saw Goenji clapping. I performed the last two songs of the evening and then I said goodbye to my fans.

''You were a great audience. Minna, arigato for coming. And maybe I see you a next time. I'll be giving autographs and taking pictures in five minutes, so be there if you want that. Bye!'' I said.

Then, I left the stage.

''Great performance, sis.'' My brother congratulated me.

''Arigato, Onii-chan.'' I replied happy.

Then, I felt a little dizzy. I sat down on a chair and breathed slowly.

''Are you all right?'' My manager asked me concerned.

''Yeah.. just a little bit dizzy.'' I replied.

''Do you want to go home?'' My brother asked me.

I shook my head.

''Fans first.'' I said.

''Don't you remember what happened last time, Ayumi?'' My brother said suspicious to me.

I nodded.

''I promise that won't happen again.'' I said with a smile.

My brother sighted, but then smiled.

''All right, now go then. But remember, I'm watching you from a distance. If I get the intention that you can't take it anymore, I take you away from there.'' He said.

I nodded.

''Okay.''

I stood up and walked to a desk that was prepared for me in the café. The fans already stood there aligned. In the line, I recognized Aki, Haruna and Fuyuka. I smiled. I took some pictures and gave some autographs, and then it was Aki's turn.

''Flowerr, I love you so much! You're so amazing and talented!'' She said excited to me, while she handed me a photo of me. I took it.

''What's your name?'' I asked Aki.

''Kino Aki.'' She replied a bit shy.

''To Aki. Lots of love. Xoxo Flowerr.'' I said out loud, while I wrote it on the photo and returned it to her.

''Arigato!'' She said happily, while she took her photo again. ''Anoo… Will you take a picture with me?''

I nodded with a smile.

''Of course.'' I replied.

I stood up and went next to her, while Haruna took the picture. I did the same thing with Haruna and Fuyuka. Signed their photo and took a picture with them.

''It was an honor to meet you, Flowerr!'' Haruna said excited.

''We're such big fans!'' Fuyuka continued.

I smiled at them.

''Arigato. It's girls like you who keep me inspired to go on.'' I said.

They smiled proud.

''Goodbye, Flowerr. We never forget you!'' They shouted.

I waved back at them with a smile. When the line was gone, I barely couldn't look straight. I was exhausted.

''Ayumi, are you all right?'' My brother asked concerned at me.

''Y-Yeah…'' I replied soft.

I stood up, but my legs couldn't held it anymore and I almost fell on the ground. My brother tightened his grip on my, so I didn't fell.

''Wow, Ayumi. Sit down for a while.'' He said, while he led me back to my chair.

After a while, I was calmed down and I stood up again.

''Onegai, let's go home, Onii-chan.'' I said to my brother.

He nodded and led me to my dressing room. There, I changed back into my normal clothes, removed my make-up and put my white ribbon back in my hair.

''There is Ayumi again.'' My brother said smiling to me.

I laughed.

''No Flowerr anymore, just Ayumi.'' I said.

Then, I felt dizzy again.

''Onii-chan…'' I mumbled.

Then, I fainted.

Goenji's P.O.V.

The next day on school, everybody was talking about the performance of Flowerr in the café. I smiled while I remembered our chat backstage. She was really nice. She reminded me a bit of Ayumi-san.

''Ohayo, minna-san.'' I said to my friends, when I reached them.

''Ohayo, Goenji-kun.'' Everybody replied.

''The performance of Flowerr yesterday was so amazing!'' Haruna shouted like a fan girl.

Kidou sweatdropped.

''She's already talking about it since I picked her up to go to school. It's driving me insane.''

Everybody laughed.

''Ohayo, minna-san.'' I heard a familiar voice behind me.

''Ohayo, Ayumi-san.'' Everybody replied.

Ayumi smiled.

''What are you guys talking about?'' She asked.

''About Flowerr's performance yesterday in our favorite café.'' Fuyuka replied.

''It was so awesome!'' Aki shouted.

Ayumi laughed.

''Too bad I've missed it. I had some things to do.'' She said.

I smiled.

''Too bad, next time you have to come.'' I said to her.

She turned to me.

''All right, I will.'' She said.

''Wow, Goenji. Did you just asked Ayumi-san on a date?'' Endou asked.

Everybody started to bawl.

''N-No, I didn't.'' I said with a red face.

Ayumi started to laugh.

''You're funny, Goenji-san.'' She said.

Then, the school bell rang.

''Minna, we have to go back to our science project.'' Haruna said with a sight.

''It's the last lesson before we have to show our projects.'' Aki said a bit nervous.

''Don't worry, it will be fine.'' Fuyuka said smiling.

''Yeah, you can say that. You're really good at science. And now, Ayumi gets to benefit form your genius brains.'' Endou said.

''Go-Gomenasai.'' Ayumi said a bit shocked. ''It was never my intention to do that.''

''Endou, you made her feel bad! Say sorry!'' Fubuki said.

''I didn't mend it that way, Ayumi-san. Gomenasai.'' Endou said a bit guilty.

Ayumi smiled again.

''It's fine. Well, let's go or we'll be late.'' She said.

''Hai.'' Everybody replied.

Together, we all walked to science class. I examined Ayumi. She looked a lot like Flowerr.

''Maybe they're related…'' I mumbled.

''Did you say something, Goenji?'' Midorikawa asked.

'''N-No.'' I replied.

He smiled and continued talking to Hiroto.

''Guys, quickly go to your places and continue your projects.'' Our science teacher said, while we passed him at the door.

We went to our places and I fetched our project out of the shelves on the side of the classroom. Fuyuka did the same.

''Is your project going well?'' She asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah… It's working. How about yours?'' I asked.

''It's fine. Everything works the way I want it.'' She said.

''Ayumi is lucky.'' I said.

Fuyuka winked.

''Yeah, she gets to sit in front of you. Maybe you're the lucky one here.''

I blushed.

''What do you mean by that?'' I asked a bit confused.

''Oh, nothing.'' She said innocent. ''Well, good luck with your project.''

She walked back to her table where Ayumi already was sitting down. Fuyuka's words still remained in my hand. She sits in front of you. Maybe you're the lucky one. A blush appeared on my cheeks.

''Na-Nane yo?'' I mumbled. I walked back to my table with the project where Kidou already was sitting down.

''What were you talking about with Fuyuka?'' He asked me.

''Oh, just about the projects.'' I replied.

''Then why are you blushing?'' He asked with a grin.

''I-I'm not.'' I replied.

Kidou shook his head, but decided to keep his mouth shut and to concentrate on the project. In the mean time, I heard Fuyuka and Ayumi laugh.

''Wow, you're so smart, Fuyuka!'' Ayumi said.

''But you're cute. That's a lot better.'' She said with a wink.

Ayumi started to blush.

''That's not true. Brains is as important. And besides, you're cute too.'' I said.

Fuyuka smiled.

''Yay!'' She replied.

We laughed again.

''I think we can become really good friends.'' Ayumi said shy to Fuyuka.

She nodded.

''Yeah, I really like you. We're a good team, have the same interest and are both cute.'' She said funny.

Ayumi laughed again.

''Yay!'' She shouted.

I smiled too. I looked at Ayumi's smile. It was really bright and cute. Nane yo? What am I thinking? Concentrate!

''Goenji, are you helping too?'' Kidou asked me.

''H-Hai, Gomen.'' I replied.

I focused on the project. When we finished it, we showed it to Sensei.

''Looking good, looking good…'' He mumbled.

Kidou and I looked at each other with a smile.

''B+'' Sensei finally said.

Kidou and I gave each other a high five.

''Good enough for me.'' I said.

''Yeah, it's not bad.'' Kidou replied.

Then Sensei examined Fuyuka and Ayumi's project.

''This looks fascinating. Really good made. An A.'' Sensei said.

''Yay!'' Ayumi and Fuyuka said, while they both hugged each other.

''Do you always have to be better then me?'' Kidou asked Fuyuka.

Fuyuka blushed.

''Gomenasai, I don't do it on purpose.'' She said.

Kidou smiled.

''I was just joking. Great job, Fuyuka. You too, Ayumi, however I don't think you did much.''

Ayumi blushed.

''Well, that's true. But still, I'm happy.'' She said.

''Yeah, an A is good.'' I said to Ayumi.

''A B+ is really good too.'' She said to me.

She gave me her cute smile again. Cute? I really need to stop looking at her like that.

''Why are you staring, Goenji-san?'' Ayumi asked insecure.

''Oh, sorry. A little daydream. Gomen.'' I apologized.

She smiled.

''I love daydreaming too.'' Ayumi said.

''Really? What about?'' I asked her.

''About performing, singing. To be a superstar.'' She said a bit shy.

''Like Flowerr?'' I asked her.

She nodded.

''Yeah, like that.'' She said.

''You look a lot like her.'' I said to her.

I was surprised to see that she shocked a bit.

''Something wrong?'' I asked.

''No, no. It's just that… She's such a big idol. You can't compare me to her. There's no way I could be like her.'' She said.

I smiled.

''If you don't try, you will never know.'' I said to her.

Ayumi smiled again.

''Arigato, Goenji-san. That's really sweet.'' She said.

I gave her a smile. Then, class was over.

''No, we only got a C-.'' Aki and Haruna said a bit sad.

''At least it not insufficient.'' Kidou said a bit suiting.

''That's right.'' Aki said.

''Thanks, Onii-chan.'' Haruna said.

She hugged him. I smiled. I glared at Ayumi who was giggling with Fuyuka. Those two really get along. Maybe I can ask Fuyuka some stuff about Ayumi later. I was shocked by my own thoughts. Why would I want to get to know Ayumi better. The next classes, I tried to focus on the lesson and not on my thoughts. When the day ended, I stood up and went to the soccer field.

Ayumi's P.O.V.

''Yay, schools over!'' I said, when the last school bell rang.

''All right, to the soccer field!'' Fuyuka said.

''To the soccer field? Why?'' I asked.

''I'm a manager of the soccer club. We practice everyday after school. Wanna come?'' She asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah, sounds like fun.'' I replied.

''My father is the coach of the team.'' Fuyuka explained happily to me, while she led me to the soccer field.

She started to tell about the soccer club and how they already won the FFI.

''Sugoi!'' I said.

''Yeah, we're really good. And a lot of our classmates are football players too.'' She said.

I nodded. Then, we reached the field. We went to Fuyuka's dad and Fuyuka introduced me.

''It's an honor to meet you, Kudou-san.'' I said to him, while I bowed.

He smiled.

''Thanks. I like your politeness. You can stay.'' He said.

I smiled.

''Arigato.'' I said to him with another bow.

Then, I sat down next to Fuyuka and waited for the players to get changed. When they entered the field, my eyes were immediately pulled towards Goenji. He looked hot in his uniform.

''Sugoi…'' I whispered.

''What?'' Fuyuka asked.

''Oh, nothing.'' I said quickly with a blush.

Then, Goenji noticed me. He looked a little bit surprised. I immediately turned my gaze away from him. Then, the group started practicing.

''Sugoi! They're really good.'' I said fascinated, while I saw all the team members and their Hissatsu's.

''Yeah, like I said. We're a good team.'' Fuyuka said proud.

''You managed them well, Fuyuka.'' I said to her with a wink.

Fuyuka blushed.

''I'm not really helpful. I just make sure they all have their own water bottles and they're own food schedules. I fetch towels for them and of course, I cheer for them.'' She explained.

''Wow, is that the job of a manager?'' I asked.

She nodded.

''It sounds like fun.'' I said.

''Do you want to become one too?'' She asked me.

''Me? Anoo… I don't know. I used to play soccer, and I know a lot of stuff about it. But I don't think I'm suited for the team. And you guys only know me a day.'' I said.

Fuyuka smiled.

''That doesn't care. Everybody likes you. And besides, you don't have to replay immediately. Think about it for a while.'' She said.

I smiled.

''Arigato.'' I said to her.

''But you used to play soccer?'' Fuyuka asked me.

''Yeah, with my younger sister. We were actually really good. But I stopped playing after…''

I fell silent.

''After what?'' Fuyuka asked me.

She saw this subject hurt me.

''You don't have to tell it if you don't want to…'' She said to me.

I smiled at her.

''No, it's okay. I can't hide it forever.'' I said.

I took a deep breath.

''A few months ago, my parents and my younger sister died in an accident. My Onii-chan and I were there too. We were in a building and suddenly, it collapsed. My brother and I survived it, but went into a coma. My younger sister and parents didn't make it…'' I said.

By the end of my story, Fuyuka laid her hands over her mouth and her eyes stood shocked.

''Ayumi-san… That's terrible!'' She shouted.

I nodded.

''I know, but there's nothing I can do to change it. So I try to keep on living and to enjoy every day. It could be your last, I realized.'' I explained.

Fuyuka nodded.

''You're right. And it must be a great feeling that you're not alone. You still have your brother left, right?'' She asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah, I couldn't live without Ryuu. After the accident, he became really overprotective over me. But I know why he does it and I think it's cute. He stays my Onii-chan after all.'' I said.

Fuyuka nodded.

''I don't have brothers and sisters. Only my dad. And I love him. I don't know what to do without him. Like you only have your brother left, I only have my dad.'' She said.

I nodded.

''Let's show that love for always.'' I said, while I gave her a cute smile.

''Hai!'' Fuyuka replied.

Then, a soccer ball whizzed in my direction.

''NO!'' I shouted.

There was only one option. I jumped up.

''Flower Shoot!'' I shouted, while I performed my Hissatsu technique.

The ball whizzed with an immense power back. I landed on the ground and looked shocked again. Everybody's eyes were turned to me, all with a shocked expression. I felt tears form in my eyes.

''Gomenasai…'' I said.

Then, I ran back from the field.

''Ayumi, there you are! You promised to come home right after school.'' My brother said to me.

Then, he saw my tears.

''What's wrong?'' He asked concerned.

''No-Nothing. Just let's go home.'' I said to him, while we walked away.

Goenji's P.O.V.

Strange… Why did she ran away? I couldn't get the thought out of my head. I looked at Fuyuka. I had the idea she would know the answer. After soccer practice, I walked towards her.

''Why did Ayumi ran away?'' I asked her.

''I think… because she swore not to play soccer ever again.'' Fuyuka said a bit sad.

''Why?'' I asked her.

''I can't tell you. She have to tell you herself when she's ready.'' Fuyuka said.

I nodded.

''What an amazing power…'' Coach Kudou mumbled.

''What's wrong Oto-san?'' Fuyuka asked her dad.

''That shoot of Ayumi. It sure looked powerful.'' He said.

All the teammates nodded.

''It's a shame such talent goes to waste.'' Endou said.

''But if she doesn't want to play soccer, then we have to accept that.'' Hiroto said.

Everybody agreed with that. They changed to their normal clothes and walked back from the trainings field.

''Well, I see you guys tomorrow.'' I said to everybody, while I left to my home.

I knew Yuuka was already waiting for me. The eight year old girl opened the door happily when she saw her Onii-chan enter the front yard.

''Onii-chan! Welcome home.'' She said happy.

I hugged her.

''Yuuka. Did you've been a good girl today?'' I asked her.

She nodded.

''I got an A for math and a B for history.'' She said proud, while she showed me the marks.

I gave her a smile.

''I'm really proud of you. Shall I prepare dinner?'' I asked her.

She nodded.

''Yes, please. I'm hungry.'' She said.

I took of my shoes and putted on my slippers. I walked to the kitchen. My father died a year ago, so Yuuka and I live on our own.

''What do you want to eat, Yuuka?'' I asked my little sister.

''Can you make pancakes, Onii-chan?'' Yuuka asked me.

I nodded.

''Yes. Is that what you like?'' I asked her.

''Yes, please.'' She replied.

I baked some pancakes for her, while Yuuka turned on the TV.

''Oh my gosh, it's Flowerr.'' She squealed.

Yuuka was a big fan of Flowerr.

''I saw her performing in a café yesterday.'' I said to her.

Yuuka looked at me full of disbelieve.

''No way…'' She said.

''Yeah, for real.'' I replied.

''And did Onii-chan bring an autograph for Yuuka?'' She asked.

I shook my head sadly.

''No, I didn't. Gomen.'' I said to Yuuka.

Yuuka pouted.

''That's too bad. But I'm going to see her myself very soon.'' She said happy.

She held out two tickets.

''Look, Evani-san, my best friend, gave me these. She should actually go with her elderly sister, but suddenly she had other plans, so she gave the tickets to me.'' Yuuka said excited.

I walked towards her and looked at the tickets.

''They're for the show of this weekend in the big concert hall in Tokyo.'' I said.

Yuuka nodded.

''Will Onii-chan come with me?'' She asked with puppy eyes.

I laughed.

''Of course I will.'' I replied.

''YAY! I'm going to see Flowerr!'' Yuuka squealed again.

''Come Yuuka, your pancakes are ready.'' I said to her.

''Yay, dinnertime!'' She shouted, while she ran to the kitchen and sat down on the table.

''Wash your hands first.'' I said to Yuuka.

''Hai. Gomen.'' She said, while she walked to the sink and washed her hands.

Then, she sat down on the table again. I laid a pancake on a plate and laid the plate in front of her.

''Itadakimasu.'' Yuuka said happily.

Then, she started to eat her pancake. I sat down in opposite of her and ate a pancake myself.

''Do you like it?'' I asked Yuuka.

''Hai. Onii-chan is the best cook in the whole world.'' She said.

I smiled. After we finished dinner, I did the dishes and putted Yuuka in bed.

''Sleep well and dream about Flowerr.'' I said to her.

''Hai, I will.'' She replied to me.

I gave her a kiss on her forehead.

''Good night.'' I said to her.

''Good night, Onii-chan.'' She replied.

Then, I turned of the lights and left her room.

Ayumi's P.O.V.

''Onii-chan, I don't feel well. Can you please call Okuni-san to say that I won't come rehearsing this evening.'' I said to my brother.

He nodded and called my manager. I lied on the couch with a plaid over my legs and a cup of tea. I was really tired.

''Stupid health problems.'' I mumbled.

I took a nip of my tea and watched to the TV. I saw a commercial passing by about Flowerr and her concert this weekend. I sighted.

''Sometimes, I just wish I could confess to the whole world who I really am. But I can't…'' I said to myself.

Then, Onii-chan finished his phone call.

''It's fine.'' He said to me.

I smiled.

''Thanks.'' I said.

''Take your rest.'' My brother said to me.

I nodded, putted my tea on the table next to me and closed my eyes. I immediately felt asleep and dreamed about Goenji. My brother came to check on me and saw my smile in my sleep.

''Good night, little sis. I'll protect you.''
