"I'm sorry Ni-saan. I can't tell you…not about your condition. It was me who made you this miserable and I'll never forgive myself…ever. I'll bring it back…everything you've lost" Tsurugi's thought looking at the golden sun, like his eyes, setting down into oblivion.

….….

CHAPTER 2

A soft moan came from a dark room with only a little light passing through a broken window pane. The soft warm light made the teen more conscious

"Its school time already" a teen with navy blue hair grumbled. He looked around his room. Many people in his team thought Tsurugi was rich….but sadly he wasn't. He lived in a small house with just four rooms. His room only had one bed, a writing table and a wardrobe nothing else.

He lazily climbed down and took a shower, made himself breakfast and got dressed.

"Shit! Its 7:30...I'm late"

…..

"TSURUGI!"

The bluntee turned around and met with Tenma. The annoying Matsukaze Tenma. "Why him of all people" he thought.

"Whatever do you want Matsukaze?" Tsurugi grumbled.

The brown haired teen looked into the golden eyes for a second.

"Let's go together" he squealed. The bluntee just nodded. His mind was full of Yuuichi's and the disease.

During their trip Tenma kept talking about their last match and how they had won and Tsurugi kept nodding his head.

They departed when Tenma went in to his class.

"The answer of question no.4…hmm…Tsurugi-kun" the history teacher called out the ace. No response. Tsurugi's just sat with his head in his hands and stared at the book. Then something hit him. It was a paper ball thrown by a random student.

He looked only to find out his history teacher frowning at him, hands folded on her chest. He didn't dare to look around; after all he would lose his cool, if he does so.

"Sorry" he mumbled an apology and answered the required question.

Thank fully Tenma wasn't in his class or he would've told the whole team.

"Can I take a day off, Coach" Tsurugi asked making the whole Raimon team look at him. Endou eyed him from top to toe. It was rare for Tsurugi to take a day off.

"Why?" he inquired

"I need to go to the hospital…to see Ni-saan"

Tsurugi informed. Endou knew Tsurugi wasn't the type of person who lies. Not when it comes to soccer. He also knew about the latter's brother

"Ok"

He ran. As fast as his legs could carry him. Ignoring the glares and shouts of people he had pushed and or pulled to get to the hospital on time.

….

The teen barged into the doctor's room.

"How's Ni-saan" he asked. The doctor looked down.

"How's he tell me, dammit?" Tsurugi shouted as he grabbed the doctor's collar.

The doctor grabbed Tsurugi's hand and lightly pushed him away.

"The bacteria had increased by 2 times, over night. It's eating Yuuichi's life faster, much more than we expected, we need some now, the energy" the doctor quickly said.

"Then what the hell are you waiting for?" the blue-head shouted.

The doctor sighed. "Follow me" he said.

XXXXXXXXX

The room was filled with weird machines. Some with long tubes and some were as big as an elephant. Tsurugi stared at the room in awe.

"Well… the doctor said. "Sit on that chair' he said pointing towards a black chair.

It wasn't suspicious or anything, nodding the blue haired teen, with short steady steps sat on the chair. It was comfortable, but the atmosphere was tense. The doctor pushed some buttons on a wide board, within a few minutes a machine came automatically towards Tsurugi. The latter started to feel uneasy. He squirmed in his chair as a long tube, came closer to Tsurugi's chest.

"Are you ready, lad" the doctor asked.

Tsurugi nodded. The doctor pressed some buttons and finally he pushed a green button.

The machine came into motion. The long tube on the machine started to emit blue light. Beads of sweat formed on the striker's pale face, rolling down to his neck. The bluntee started to pray. The blue light started to suck in something purplish, black from the ace's chest. It was his energy.

"GHAAAAA" Tsurugi screamed in agony. The pain was unbearable. It was too much. It felt as if he was being dragged on thorns. He wanted to run… run away, but his brother's thought kept him in place.

Slowly with a loud sound the machine stopped. Tsurugi unable to bear the pain and sadness let the darkness take over.

"Tsurugi!"The doctor cried as the latter fell out from the chair and onto the cold white floor.
