First, I'd like to thank those who reviewed this story. I'll try making the chapters longer but I'm still thinking how... In my opinion this chapter's not as good as the previous one and it's also shorter... so I might replace this eventually. Tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inazuma Eleven. I only own Umeki, Amaya, Emi and the plot.

Enjoy and please review~

'I couldn't believe it…'

"Ume, wake up."

'Everything happened so…'

"Ume, rise and shine~"

I opened my eyes and found myself in one of the rest houses of the school, "…What the?" I scanned my surroundings and found Amaya standing near the bed. I sat up.

Amaya Kotone, one of the greatest friends I can ask for. She's known as one of the greatest students of our school and known to have a very calm personality. In the soccer team, she's our goalkeeper and strategist. We have strategy meetings almost everyday in the library.

She smiled, "Good, and I thought you wouldn't wake up, captain."

'So everything that I…it wasn't…'

She sighed, "You know how challenging it was for us to look for you?"

"Not that much since we have you in the team." I smiled, "Plus you know I doze off here once in a while after training."

"True enough." she replied, "You know, you seem really distracted during these past few days. Is something wrong?"

"Well…you see I've…"

Suddenly Emi barged in the room. She seemed so excited.

She said happily, "We've got guests tomorrow!"

Amaya and I got confused, "Guests?"

"They're not just guests, they're Inazuma Japan!"

"Wait, why here?" I asked.

"Most probably looking for new members?" Amaya guessed.

"But didn't the FFI just finish a week ago?" Emi replied, "The only thing coach said was we'll be the welcoming committee."

To be honest, I hardly knew anything about the FFI. During these past few weeks I've really been busy with practice and studying…

"Here's a list of the team's members and some info about each member." Emi said as she distributed two copies to me and Amaya.

Amaya was a bit surprised, "Seriously, a list? Doesn't that seem a little…?"

"I know… even the others and I had the same reaction…"

I stood up from the bed, "Well, we better prepare tomorrow." I said, getting my bag.

"You're pretty much right." Amaya smiled.

I arrived at my place and dropped my bag in the living room. I laid down the coach and sighed, "Great…what now?" I asked myself.

Then that's when the idea came. I got the list of the Inazuma Japan's members and started reading each carefully.

"Let's see… Endou Mamoru…Gouenji Shuuya… wait, he's…"

'Dear Fubuki,

It's been a few months since I've transferred to Sessou Junior High. So far, the school's okay. I've made some friends and joined the soccer club. Hopefully I'll visit you during the weekends if I can. I miss you guys back at Hokkaido. By the way, how are you guys?

-Umeki'

"Who's that from, Fubuki?" Hiroto asked.

"It's just from a good friend of mine." I replied, "This letter was written three months ago though I just received it last night."

Hiroto took the letter right out off my hands and scanned the letter. Eventually the others joined in…

"Who's Umeki?" They said in unison.

Before I could answer their question, the Inazuma Caravan stopped.

Coach Kudou announced, "We've arrived at our destination, Sessou Junior High."

"We better hurry." Amaya and I ran as fast we could.

We arrived nearby the school's soccer field and saw a soccer team playing.

Amaya said, "That must be them, Inazuma Japan."

All their plays were just amazing. In my opinion, our team still has a long way to go to be as skilled as them.

We heard one of them shout, "Tiger Drive!"

Unfortunately the move went out of course due to the strong wind. Next thing I knew a ball was about to hit me.

"Look out!" Another member shouted.
