I were rollerblading on regular movements. When I reached the corner, I let my feet parallel to each other and leaned my body slightly to the side, making the curve smoothly. Arriving on the street parallel to the river, I gave one more boost and let the wheels of the skates carry me.

I place my hands behind my back and my mind flew back to what happened at that early afternoon in the club room.

-X-

"Hayate, what this means?" The Coach asked.

"It's what it looks like. I'm quitting the soccer club," The brown-haired boy with blue eyes said.

He is Tetagame Hayate. Or Hay, as I usually call him. He has been my friend since I can remember. But that doesn't matter now.

"Hayate, why? You are a good player," The Coach tried reason him.

"But what's the point if we can show what we are really capable of? What is the point in being a good player if the results are already set before the match starts? "He replied coldly.

Honestly, I expected this would happen sooner or later. But I could not help feeling sorry. For the second time he had the soccer he loved taken from him

He was ... Frustrated, if I can put that way. When I tried to talk to him, I just received a "Not now," and he left me behind.

I went back to the club room to; at least, take his stuff to his locker in the school building. I did nothing but my duty as a manager.

-X-

So back to the point where I was returning home.

Until I was hit right in the head by a soccer ball.

Of course, I fell, hit my head and passed out.

Therefore, you should always wear a helmet.

"Is she okay?" Said a male voice.

"You hit her. I think you should say if she's okay, Toshiro," A female voice answered, I could not tell if the dominating tone was concern. Or if she was just messing with him.

I was lying on the sidewalk with two people looking at me from above.

The girl had green shoulder length hair and brown eyes.

The boy, a bit taller than she, had dark brown hair with a fringe in the mid of his forehead and green eyes. He also wore Ray Ban glasses on its head.

"Did a train hit me or something?" I asked, sitting up and putting my hand on my head.

"It was my Hissatsu. Sorry," The boy said, scratching his head, a little embarrassed.

"Your incomplete Hissatsu, you mean?" The girl said, laughing, "My name is Tsubasa Misaki. This is Toshiro Isao. "

"You are from the class B, right? I think I saw you at school. We are on the same year. "Toshiro said.

I nodded, confirming what he said. Then I looked for the ball lying beside me side.

"Were you playing football?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Yes," Tsubasa said, picking the ball up, while Toshiro helped me up.

"But I've never seen you at the club."

"To play a controlled soccer? No way," The boy replied.

"Besides, the Holy Road is a tournament only for males. They wouldn't let me play," Tsubasa said, a little annoyed.

"Makes sense ..." I said thoughtfully, "but with whom you are going to play then?"

It was then that I met the Shadow Cup. A league hidden from the Fifth Sector. A place where soccar was still free and people still could put their soul in the game they love.

They told me about the hidden stages, mostly underground, like the Lost World Stadium, which was in town. And about many of the teams that have participated in the two previous editions.

I don't remember if they told me how they got in, but even to watch the matches you need an indication and a pass. All to ensure that the Fifth Sector would not find out. I also learned later that they have a great security system.

"Do you play?" Toshiro asked.

"Me? Well, I've never played a game, but sometimes I helped Hay in his training ... "

"Want to play with us?" Tsubasa invited then.

I looked at the field near the river and then to the sky, trying to figure out the time.

"Ok! I'll play! It doesn't hurt to try, right? Just help me take this equipment out."

We played until the sun set. I constantly heard some "Not bad!" or "Good!" and "Faster!" or "Try again."

In the end, each one returned to their homes, already with the idea of forming a team in mind.

I think I can say that this was the first step. At least, it was mine.

~X~

Bruna: Sooo, here is the first chapter~

Yumi: It's lame.

Bruna: What are… Oh forget it. I'm just here to say that I don't own anything but the idea and my OC. If you find any grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes, Review or PM me that I'll fix them. (and please, keep in mind that English is not my first language.)

Well, we've just closed the main team. Buuuuut you still can send OCs. Until I say I'm not taking OCs anymore, I'll put them as rivals, friends or villains.

Azuma Hikaru: And the debuts today are:

Tsubasa Misaki - By Mass-san (a friend)

Toshiro Isao – By Matheus-san (Another friend)

Tetagami Hayate – By Hayate (Another friend)

Bruna: Sorry, but since I'm posting this on another site too, and I posted there before, I got those first. This doesn't mean that I'll be following the order.

Azuma Hikari: And in the next-

Yumi: *smack Hikari*

Azuma Hikaru: *Glares Yumi*

Yumi: *runs*

Bruna:…

Oh well, see y'all next time o/
