Pieces of Childhood Memories

Chapter 2 – EHHHH?

Yoko smiled as she saw Raimon practicing. "What's wrong?" asked Aki.

"Oh well, nothing's wrong," Yoko replied. "It's just that I feel so happy when I see people playing soccer because they love soccer, not because they only want to win."

"So you mean Teikoku play soccer because they only want to win?" Haruna asked.

"Yeah... and it's because of that COMMANDER," Yoko replied.

"Commander?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Yoko smiled.

Then after a while, Raimon took a break after practice. Yoko heard Endou calling her. "Yes, what's the matter, Mamoru-kun?"

"Hee hee, you're from Teikoku, right?" he asked.

"Huh? How do you know?" asked Yoko confused.

"Well, Handa just told the team earlier," he said. Yoko glared at Handa with a deathly glare. Handa just sweatdropped.

"And if you are from Teikoku, then..." Endou continued the conversation. "Then teach us hissatsu techniques!"

"But Captain," interrupted Kurimatsu, "isn't she our enemy?"

Endou laughed. "It's fine, it's fine! Anyways, Yuko... PLEASE TEACH US HISSATSU TECHNIQUES! Like, for example, the DEATH ZONE!"

Yoko sweatdropped. Is he forgetful? He got my name wrong, Yoko thought. "The Death Zone? It's a very difficult technique. And I couldn't teach you that, because if I do, then... Teikoku will be very mad at me. By the way, my name is YOKO, not YUKO."

"Hahaha... sorry," replied Endou.

"But I can tell you the information about Occult Junior High if you want,"Yoko said, smiling.

Endou's eyes sparkled. "Hontouni? Arigato!"

"Occult Junior High is a school with many scary rumors. Some of those are: making the opponents stop in their tracks, causing fevers after the match and making the game cancelled with a huge gust of wind. There's a mysterious something.. Ghost Lock. While they are doing Ghost Lock, the coach chants "ma re ma re to ma re" then Occult Junior High's opponents will stop moving."

"It sounds scary," Kabeyama said. "I want to go to the toilet, Captain.."

"Kabeyama," Endou said. "I understand that you want to go to the toilet.. but.. this is in a river bank and.. no toilet."

Everyone sweatdropped. Then Shishido asked Yoko, "Is there a way to stop the Ghost Lock?"

"Oh yes, there is. But I won't tell you, it is something you need to figure out yourself," replied Yoko.

"Sugoi, where did you get all this information?" Endou asked.

"Well, I've watched them play... and sometimes I watch them practice too."

Everyone gasped. "Really?"

"Yes, because the captain of Occult is... my best friend!" Yoko answered.

"EHHHH?"

"And just so you know, most of the captains in junior high soccer teams are my best friends!" Yoko said proudly.

Once again, "EHHHHH?" Especially Endou said "EHH?" the loudest of all. "Great!" Endou shouted. "Then we could get many information from other teams! But then Akiyama-san, are you forgetting something? You are not my best friend, so why did you say that all of the captains in junior high soccer teams are your best friends? I'm the captain of Raimon, but you're not my best friend!"

Everyone just sweatdropped. There was a long pause. Endou was really confused. "Umm... guys? What's the matter? You're all silent all of of sudden..."

"Don't you hear what she just said?" Aki replied. "She said MOST of the captains, not ALL of the captains."

He really is forgetful after all...Yoko thought. Then everyone continued their practice. Everyone tried their best to win against Occult. Especially Someoka tried really hard. He wanted to create his own hissatsu technique, since he didn't want to lose to Gouenji. He tried to score past Endou, but it seems that it is difficult to do, since Endou always catches all the balls that try to get past him. Then suddenly...

"Wow... There's like a dragon open its mouth behind you, Someoka!"

Someoka is very happy to hear that. "Finally, my own hissatsu technique!"

"What should we name it?"

"Dragon Kick!"

"Dragon Someoka!"

Yoko just smiled to see that thing. Then she looked at the bridge near the river bank, she was surprised to see Gouenji heading towards the river bank pitch. "Gouenji?"

Then Gouenji approached Endou and friends. "Endou, I'll join the football club." Everyone was very happy to hear that, and then in no time "YAY!" "Hooray!" and "Yes!" are heard.

"Anoo... Aki, Haruna..."

"Hai, Akiyama-senpai?" asked Haruna.

"I want to ask you a question, now who's voice is louder, the Raimon football club or me?"

"Well, I think, YOUR voice is louder, Akiyama-senpai," Haruna replied.

There was a long silence between the two managers and Yoko. Yoko can't believe what Haruna said. Eleven voices vs. one voice... how could my voice be louder than eleven loud voices? Is my voice really that loud..? She thought.

"EHHHHHH?"
