Chapter 2: Raimon!

Aydan's POV

I've been here for about a month now but there are still so many things I don't understand. I do like it here, Ryuuji-san is usually in the house looking after me and willing to play with me while Hiroto-san is always out, Ryuuji-san calls it "work". He tells me that Hiroto-san loves me but he has to work for us to live like this. What is this word love? I don't really get it but Ryuuji-san tells me it's important. They buy me loads of toys and clothes and things to decorate my room with as it is just white at the moment. I usually sit by the window on a morning and watch those children go to that school thing.

"I'm home!" called a familiar voice with the sound of the door closing behind him.

"Hiroto-san!" I said running over to see him.

"Hey Aydan, I got you something" he said handing me a plain white bag.

I peered inside the bag to find some clothes that weren't like the usual things I get. They looked more formal but I had seen them somewhere before… The people going past the house in the mornings!

"What is this for?" I asked curiously

"It's your new school uniform! I've signed you up to go to Raimon Jr High" he replied smiling

"Hiroto-san what's school?" I said

"It's a place where you learn new things and meet new people. Most children your age go to school" He said leading me into the kitchen. "It's not been long since the start of the new school year but you will be a second year because of your age"

Ryuuji then sat me down in front of his laptop with the Raimon Jr High page open for me to look at.

"It's a great school, lots of our friends went there" Said Ryuuji

"You will be starting tomorrow so get an early night ok?" Said Hiroto

I nodded in reply.

Monday morning

"Aydan! It's time to get up for school!" Said Ryuuji as he walked into my room and turned on the light.

"You have to get up this early?" I said peering through my covers

"Yes if you want to be ready in time, breakfast is in ten minutes!" He said about to walk out. "Oh yea I thought I should mention you're wearing the boys school uniform as they had ran out of girls, must have been because of the new year's.." He said pointing at my uniform hanging on my wardrobe door and walking out leaving me to get ready.

"Ryuuji and Hiroto-san are boys, I'm a girl, does the uniform I wear really matter? Oh well" I said getting up and brushing my hair.

I had finished getting ready so I rushed down stairs to find Hiroto and Ryuuji at the table with their bacon and eggs with mine next to them. I sat down next to them and quickly scoffed down my food.

"Calm down Aydan, you have plenty of time" said Hiroto smiling.

"Sorry I'm just really excited!" I said putting my plate in the sink.

"Well your school bag and shoes are by the door, do you want me to drive you in?" Asked Ryuuji

"No thanks I think I'll walk" I said putting my first shoe on.

"Ok then just follow the other children" he replied "We will see you after school!"

"Ok bye!" I said as a walked out the door.

I was really excited and I rushed out of the gate and stopped. I saw all the other children walking and talking to their friends, I felt a bit left out. I wondered if I would make any friends. I turned around to look at the other side of the street when CRASH! I fell to the ground after something big hitting me. I shook my head a bit trying to get a grip about what just happened when a voice called out "Argh watch were you're going!" angrily. I looked up to find a boy about my age with big spiked up dark blue hair and orange eyes. He wore the same uniform as me but made it look a bit more…cool? I realised what was going on. This idiot must have walked into me!

"Hey you walked into me!" I shouted back and stood up brushing myself down.

"W-What?!" He said rather shocked. You could tell he was one of those people who you didn't usually talk back too. He paused for a moment before quietly saying "S-Sorry…"

"Ehh tell you what, guide me to the school and I'll forgive you" I said holding my hand out to help him up but he just got up on his own.

"New kid eh? Fine I'm Tsurugi Kyousuke by the way" He said

"I'm Kira Aydan, nice to bump into you" I said jokingly

He gave me a quick smile obviously getting my joke before continuing to walk on "The school is this way"

We continued on our way but everyone seemed to stare at us especially the girls who I could hear faintly say "Hehe he's cute isn't he?" or something along those lines. I guessed they were talking about Tsurugi.

"So you're a first year right?" He said

"Uh actually I'm a second year"

"Oh so you transferred?"

"Something like that. Are you a second year too?"

"Yea" He said "Are you thinking of joining any clubs?"

"Not really, what club are you in?"

"The soccer club" He replied with a slight grin on his face but still not looking at me

"What's soccer?" I asked feeling a bit stupid

"Ehhh your joking right?!"

"Um no?" I said feeling very stupid

"Where have you been living all your life, under a rock? He said actually looking at me "Soccer is a game were you have two teams and each team has to get the ball into the other teams net only using their feet"

"Sounds fun, can girls join?" I asked

"Uh not really but why would you care?" He said looking slightly confused

That's when it finally clicked in my head. Everyone actually thought I was a boy!? Well I guess it makes sense I was wearing the boys uniform and my hair didn't exactly help my cause. Also I was quite flat chested which isn't the best thing in the world for a girl. I was going to say something but then I remembered that girls can't join the soccer club…

"Uh, no reason really just curious" I said trying to keep my cool if I ever had any.

"Ok then, I'll show you the soccer club later" He said as we continued on.

We finally reached the school. It was amazing! So big, so shiny and packed with people.

"Well this is Raimon, current soccer champions" Tsurugi said looking rather pleased with himself. "So which class are you in?"

"Um 2A1?" I said reading my welcoming letter from my bag.

"Huh same as me ehh? You're not stalking me are you?" He said sarcastically.

"Dream on!" I said back.

"So shall we go sign you up for the soccer club?"

"Sure, lead the way O'Wise one" I said giggling

He guided me down to a big building with a lightning bolt down the front of it. He then led me through a couple of doors before reaching what seemed to be the main room.

"Tsurugi good morning" Said a boy with brown wavy hair in the middle of the room.

"Morning" Tsurugi replied.

Before I knew it they had started up a conversation completely forgetting about me.

"Morni-" Said another person rushing in but had obviously not seen me and crashed into me causing us to tumble down like dominos. The worst part was the way we had landed, I had landed facing up with my legs together but he had landed pinning my arms down and both his legs over mine! He just stared at me while I was blushing madly.

"Hey are you going to move or do I have to shove you off?" I said trying to act cool.

"S-Sorry!" He said quickly getting up and then helping me up.

"I'm Matsukaze Tenma, sorry about that" He said now also blushing.

"Kira Aydan" I said trying to look away.

"Typical Tenma, try looking where you are going next time" Said Tsurugi "You ok?" He said looking at me.

"Y-Yea I think so" I said still blushing

Tsurugi must have remembered why we were here. "Oh yea Shindou, Kira-kun here wanted to join the soccer club" He said to the wavy haired boy.

Then a tall man with brown hair and an orange head band walked through the door.

"A new member ehh? What's your name?" He said kindly

"Kira Aydan, I just transferred to this school today" I said trying to sound confident.

"K-Kira! You're not related to Hiroto are you?!" He said looking surprised.

"Um yea he's my dad" I said slightly worried.

"I didn't know he had a son, is he married?" He asked

"Um no he's not married, I'm kind of…Um how do you say it?"

"Adopted?" He said

"Um yea you can put it that way" I said.

I then realised that everyone in the room had turned to face me (Had I said something bad?)

"That's interesting… Anyway do you like soccer?" He said back to his kind voice

"Um well I've never played it, it just sounded fun…" I said getting embarrassed

Everyone was even more shocked

"Well I guess everyone has their first time, Ok come back after school for your first session" He said leaving the room and everyone staring at me. I didn't know what to do so I kind of hid behind Tsurugi hoping for protection.

Tsurugi obviously noticed that I was scared "Geez guys your acting like baby's, come on Kira-kun I'll take you your class.

I followed Tsurugi out of the building and towards the main school. "Tsurugi-san did I say something wrong?"

"Don't dwell on it, those guys are just big babies, their just jealous about your dad" He said

"What about my dad?" I asked

"Well you know, he was in Inazuma Japan, he's successful I guess they're just scared that you'll be as good as him and surpass them"

"You're not like that are you Tsurugi-san?"

"No I'm not scared. You can call me Tsurugi, Tsurugi-san sounds too formal"

"Oh you can call me Aydan then! I don't really like being call Kira, it's too formal" I said smiling and he smiled back.

"You're certainly a strange dude Aydan" He said stopping in front of a door. "This is our class room" He said walking in.

The teacher obviously noticed me and walked over. "You must be the new student right?"

"Yea" I said shyly

"Ok class!" She said getting everyone in their seats and facing her "This is our new class mate Kira Aydan, make him feel welcome!"

I don't know if I have mentioned this but I'm a very poor speaker and I kind of just blurt out what ever come to mind.

"Hey I'm Kira Aydan, um let's have a good year together" I said looking away but when I looked back everyone was looking at me like I was amazing. Especially the girls (Damn it I really don't like this attention)

"Kira-kun you can sit in the empty space next to Tsurugi-kun" Said the teacher pointing to the empty seat.

"Kay" I said walking over and sitting down.

We were about half way through the lesson when Tsurugi passed me a note

What was with that speech?

I looked at it kind of embarrassed

I got nervous, I'm a poor speaker

He looked at my reply and rolled his eyes.

I kind of get most things what the teacher is saying in class even though I've never heard it before it feels like it's already there in my brain.

By the end of the school day I was ready to run home in embarrassment but then I remembered that I have to go to the soccer club. Tsurugi had already left so I rushed off avoiding some girls along the way. When I arrived everyone but the coach was there and I took a seat next to Tsurugi having a little conversation with him. When coach did arrive everyone stood up so I followed.

"Right let's get everyone to know our new member" He said and everyone lined up in one long line at the front. I walked up to the front and stood next to the coach. One by one everyone introduced themselves to me stating their name and year. The coach then looked at me giving me my cue to introduce myself.

"Um I'm Kira Aydan and I'm a second year the transferred here today" I said but everyone still looked upset about this morning "I'm sorry if I sounded stuck up this morning, I didn't know how people would react and I didn't think things through, I'm sorry" I said bowing.

Some of the members seemed a bit happier after that and Tenma walked up to me and handed me a team uniform.

"This will be your uniform from today on, however I've decided to cancel practice today as I have some business to attend to" Coach said as he dismissed everyone.
