Welcome! this is a story featuring Ranmaru and Kinako. RanKina is my OTP in Inazuma11~~~ They are so cute in the in France era chapter! (^^) I have nearly finished writing, but the story will be published in a few chapters. It is like a side-B story with most of the plots in anime remain unchanged, but adding some RanKina lines and new inserted plots. Please remember R&R, even if you dislike the pairing. So let's get started!

"So from what I've told you, you're Fei's mother,in the future, after you've grown up, you'll be my wife. I understand that you must be terribly confused from these sudden explanations. But please, I want you to believe me. I want you to save Fei, our son!"

"...You say that this Fei is my son, but I'm not married and I don't have any children..."

"You may not understand now, but you're the perfect choice for interacting with Fei's time route."

"...Still, it is all so..."

"Your existence will never intermingle with that of Fei's. But as mother and son, you have a deep bond with him. You will be able to protect him. Please!"

The conversation above is by a man and a young girl. Of course, they look nothing like husband and wife because of the large difference between their ages. In fact, this is Kinako Nanobana's first time to meet Asurei Rune, who has just claimed he will be her husband.

And of course, it is impossible for Kinako to feel anything romantic towards Asurei in such an odd first meeting. However, she decides to fulfill Asurei's request, because it is every mother's responsibility to protect their son - especially if what Asurei has said is true.

And so, Kinako is brought by Asurei to when Fei joined Raimon, which is at least 200 years ago. This girl, always hoping for a perfect encounter with her Mr. Right, goes there with hundreds of feeling flooding out her mind. Although not feeling anything romantic now, Kinako does not sure if she will fall in love with this man in future, and seems like the answer is yes refer to their future marriage. And her son, Fei is no doubt an important existence no matter who his future father is.

However, where she is going, the Raimon Junior High School, is the place where she met her true first love, Ranmaru Kirino.

He is a boy with pink and long double tail, which is obviously not a hairstyle a boy should have. But his hairstyle makes him the spotlight among the Raimon footballers. And there is a deep, deep determination inside his eyes, that imitates Kinako's curiosity.

Ranmaru first catched Kinako's attention when the whole team transpose to the Medieval France era by time jump. Kiniko volunteered herself to Mixi Max with Jeanne being the only girl team member, and Daisuke (in stone) agreed. She was looking forward for that. But, the Mixi Max trial failed when Wonderbot pointed the Mixi Max Gun to Jeanne and tried to shoot. Daisuki explained that Jeanne's power had not awakened. Kinako was certainly disappointed about the failure.

However, during the journey, she found someone being a better choice than her to do the Mixi Max.

And that someone was Ranmaru.

It was the moment when Kinako inadvertently listened Ranmaru's sound from the garret, and found he was there having a conversation with Jeanne. Kinako sat on the stairs and quietly heard the two of them talking.

"I was chosen. But am I even capable enough to do this? " Jeanne was worrying whether she should be the one chosen to save the suffering people.

"You're incredile, Jeannne. You stood up all by yourself to save your people from suffering, and your determination moved the heart of the Dauphin. There is something out there that only you can do. Maybe that's why you were chosen, Jeanne." Said Ranmaru, enlightening Jeanne.

"Something that only I can do?"

"I hope there something out there that only I can do, too..." Ranmaru spoke with a soft and depressed voice, looking up to the sky.

Kinako impressively realized the reason of the deep determination inside Ranmaru's eyes. It was his desire to become stronger.

And she found it was at the same time Jeanne's desire, in order to save the suffering people. Because of their common desire, the bond between them suddenly looked enormous. Because of it, even Kinako did not want to give up, she had to admit.

Ranmaru is the best one to Mixi Max with Jeanne.

"Kirino-senpai!" After Ranmaru left Jeanne, Kinako walked towards and called him.

"Kinako?" Ranmaru was surprised that the one called him was the newcomer girl, who he had not familiar himself with.

"Please take the place of me to maxi max with Jeanne!" Kinako gazed at Ranmaru, with sincerity, "I am sure Kirino-senpai you are far more suitable than me!"

"... Why me?" asked Ranmaru, with suspicion. He had never related himself to anything about Mixi Max.

"I can feel how you and Jeanne connect to each other. It feels like..." ...the strong bond between Fei and I, a pair of mother and son even one of us does not know it. Kinako almost wanted to speak out, but she was not sure if Ranmaru would understand, and it was better to be a secret. "...It feels like you and Jeanne both have the wish to do something that only you can do."

Yes, what Kinako had just said was true. Ranmaru wished to strengthen himself... especially seeing himself being far behind to his childhood friend Takuto Shindou, who could now even change into his Mixi Max state with Nobunaga after being able to launch a Keshin. But...

"No, i can't... I am not strong enough to get a Mixi Max state, even a Keshin..." Ranmaru rejected as he didn't have enough confidence.

"Please show me you can do it. I will be there to observe you in our next match versus the Protocol Omega and will be a DF instead of a FW." Kinako kept trusting that she was right.

"But... didn't you said that you are an ace striker when you first came to Raimon? And you won the number 10 jersy by winning your challenge to Tsurugi."

"I can be a striker, but I am good at defence too." Said the all-rounder girl, smiling. "And surely, I will definitely keep my chance to Mixi Maxing with Jeanne if you do not show to me that you worth to."

Kinako's words was stimulating Ranmaru. At the moment, he was still not confident enough, but he started to think more specific about HOW to become stronger. He just stood here to watch Kinako turned and walked away.

At that midnight, Ranmaru could not press down his emotions, so he secretly got out to practice when everyone was asleep. He knew it was almost time for Protocol Omega to arrive and destroy their plan of collecting 11 powers from different historical periods. No any time-wasting could be allowed.

Nothing could be seen in the dark, even his sprinkling sweat. But he was able to hold his football above his foot by kicking it repeatedly by knee.

Suddenly, he stopped kicking.

"I take your challenge." He broke the silence.

The one right behind Ranmaru did not reply and kept standing there. But the facial expression on her face could not be seen in the dark.

"You are lucky, you know," Ranmaru continued to say, "for winning Tsurugi and getting the number 10 jersey. But you will not be able to win the fame of Raimon's ace defender from me."

"I will not lose to you." said the one behind.

Till the morning, the two of them were there doing different kind of exercises, and none of them had the mood to go back and sleep.
