There's an [a/n] at the end but please enjoy!

Chapter 1 – A Lover this Spring?

"I'm sorry…what?" Gouenji Shuuya, the Nihon Shounen Soccer Kyoukai chairman, took his dark eyes off his computer screen for just a moment to stare at his sister bewilderedly. He blinked a few times to try and understand what she just said.

"You heard me," The pink haired teen replied as she took a manga from a large shelf in her brother's office. "When are you getting a girlfriend?"

After a short pause, he returned his eyes back to his laptop and began working again. "Why does this suddenly matter?"

"I dunno," Yuuka sighed as she flipped through the pages of the manga, "maybe cuz you live in this huge three-storey mansion all by yourself."

"You live here too don't you?"

"That's only because Otou-san works late and I like coming over! It doesn't mean I actually live here and you know that," She told him as she plopped on the sofa behind him.

The platinum blond furrowed his eyebrows instead of saying anything back.

Yuuka knew he did this when he didn't want to continue with a conversation that he wasn't comfortable with, but unfortunately for him, she wasn't finished just yet.

"C'mon Nii-san! Just get a girlfriend! It shouldn't be that hard; after all you're a celebrity, you're super rich and you've got good looks! You've even got a huge fan base and you've written tons of books! You're a legend!"

Shuuya couldn't help but smile and shake his head as his sister praised him. Though on the topic anyway, was she right? Did he need a girlfriend? Or was it matter of wanting one. He was very successful and he had admitted that when Yuuka, Toramaru or Saginuma weren't around, it got a little bit lonely in his enormous mansion. He was almost twenty-five years, but the thought of having a girlfriend never crossed his mind once until his sister brought it up now.

He wondered if he'd ever get married and have children. Now thinking about it, every single time his father called or paid him a visit, the old doctor would ask if he finally found a woman of his liking.

"No," Shuuya would always reply and as it was always the truth. His father told him he couldn't stay single forever and that eventually he'd have to find a partner. He didn't want rush into something as vital as a relationship, Shuuya would always tell him, it was just too soon and he needed to give it thought.

But he never did, again not until just now anyway.

'Should I?'

Yuuka could only sweatdrop when she saw the conflicted look on her brother face. 'He must really be thinking about it then…'

She stood up and walked to the door before turning back to see him mumbling incoherent words to himself. She suddenly felt slightly creeped out at his strange behavior before opening the door and walking out. It was probably best to let him think things through on his own.

Otonashi Haruna, a teacher at Raimon Jr. High and its soccer club's counselor, sat quietly in her classroom as she went over the tests her students wrote that day. Her eyes drifted to the window, were she noticed the change in the leaves. They were slowly returning to their green color and beautiful flowers were blooming with them.

'I love spring time…' she mused.

"Moshi moshi, Otonashi-sensei!" Haruna turned her head in the direction of the door. The blunette smiled when she saw the three managers coming her way.

"Hello girls! How are you all doing today?"

"We're fine thanks!" Akane replied.

"Good."

"Otonashi-sensei! Midori-san needs advice!" Aoi said with a worried expression. This caused the redhead to scowl at the first year.

"I told you already! I don't!" Midori yelled but Aoi shook her head.

"Yes you do, this is your first time, you need to know how to do it right!" The young blunette told her.

Otonashi was puzzled. "Hmm? It's your first time for what Midori?" At the question, the green themed manager's face turned a bright red and she quickly looked away while crossing her arms.

"N-nothing…" she stuttered.

Haruna found herself confused at redhead's behavior. It was very unlike her to blush and stutter and be overall embarrassed. It had to be something serious for her to be behaving this way. It was very strange…

"It's not 'nothing' and you know it!" Aoi pressed on, making Midori blush even more.

"What is it? You can tell me," Haruna smiled.

Midori flushed, "I-I-t really is n-nothin-"

"Nishiki-kun asked her out on a date," Akane interjected.

"A-AKANE!" Midori shouted at her photographer best friend. Akane simply smiled slyly.

"Whoa! Seriously Midori? Congratulations! That's great news!" Haruna cheered. She was so happy for the delinquent manager. This just made Midori's blush deepen as she looked the other way.

"Did you say yes?"

"…"

"Well?" Haruna pressed on.

"Y-yes!" Midori squeaked and squeezed her eyes shut. "I did! I said yes!"

Haruna began clapping her hands gleefully. "Then this means you like him?"

"Yeah…" Midori twiddled with her fingers.

Haruna found it so adorable to see Midori acting so shy and girlish. She must really be in love with the samurai midfielder to be so embarrassed and flustered to even talk about him in this sense. It made her wonder if she'd ever find love herself.

'Probably not. Nii-san would murder the guy!'

"Otonashi-sensei?"

"Yes!" The blunette turned away from her thoughts and looked down at Midori who was still twiddling her fingers.

"I was hoping to get some advice," She told her.

"From me?" Otonashi pointed at herself rather surprised.

"Well yeah, you're the only female teacher I really trust so…"

That touched Haruna's heart. Midori didn't like sharing her feelings so wasn't very good at it. She would really only share it with people close to her because they would understand.

"Alright I'll do my best to help prepare for your date with Nishiki-kun," Haruna said.

Midori smiled. "Arigatou, sensei!"

"No problem!"

Yuuka went through her contacts and found a familiar number. After staring at it for awhile, she began to think.

"Hmm…she's kind and sweet and cute! Talks a lot and Nii-san's a really good listener too! She's vibrant and loud which means he'll never get bored! And she's single too!" Yuuka beamed when realization dawned over her. "She's perfect! She's the one for Nii-san! I just know it!"

"I've gotta text her! I think it's time that Yuuka played matchmaker!" She giggled deviously. "Don't worry Nii-san; everything will be taken care of."

A/N:

First part complete! The next part will be longer and things will be going down! Just what is Yuuka planning? And yes Midori and Nishiki are totally dating because I ship them!

The very first story for the Pre-SB series! If you are wondering what that means, then allow me to explain:

I will be writing a story called: Inazuma Eleven SEISHUN BELIEVE (I will not reveal the plot), and in that story certain characters will be couples. So essentially, I'm going to be writing about how those characters fell in love and became couples! So this story is focused on Gouenji x Haruna because I ship them like crazy XD.

Other shippings will be obvious and some will come as a surprise to you. There at ten stories in total. I actually have other shippings in mind but I don't have the time to write all of them so I just chose my ten favorite.

Also just to let you know some of my other stories are linked to these ones e.g. Orphan Dynasty (not written yet), Fans of the Flame Striker and Goodluck in the Future!

If you want to know anything else, feel free to PM me!

Next Chapter: Heated Feelings.
