Sakuchii: Sometimes the words just come to you easily, other times you have to struggle to write them down.

Ayaka: And. So. What is this sophistry all about?

Sakuchii: Dunno? Depression... Tiredness... Exhaustion.

Ayaka: Okay, okay. Let's progress to the chapter.

"I'm sorry but we cannot hire you."

How many times it has been already?

Just how many times has he been told exactly the same thing?

Kanon stands up from his seat and bows at the man sitting behind the table. He then exits the room. After closing the door the boy sighs loudly.

Even since he got kicked out of Raimon Gattai he has been trying to find a new team to join. He wants to get revenge on the coach to show him that he made the wrong decision. But things haven't been going very well for him.

He has already visited almost every soccer club in Tokyo area (and there is quite significant number of them) but each and every of the clubs has refused his joining application. Kanon has a feeling that the coach is behind this all. He definitely wants to sabotage his career as a soccer player.

With this interview failing Kanon has no idea what he is supposed to do. He could try the weaker clubs, but most likely the result would be the same. And even if he was accepted to the team, there was no way he can win against champions with a team that cannot get past the first round.

His revenge has no meaning if he is to lose in the first round.

Kanon sighs as he enters the busy street. If things continue this way then he can never think of playing soccer again least alone thinking of winning the league. He takes out a small, stick like, thing and presses it. A small hologram like screen appears before him and he starts to press it.

If he can't get into team within Tokyo area then he might as well try his luck in Jokohama or Osaka. The boy starts writing down the screen in plans on finding about the teams in those two cities.

Somewhere in the middle of search, he presses a wrong button and all of files get erased. Kanon stares at the screen the expression on his face dropping even more. Why was this happening to him? Has the God of Soccer abandoned him?

Just as Kanon is about sigh he hears a strange sound and a message pops out. Without second thought he presses the screen to open the message.

Yahho! Kanon-kun, have you been well? I congratulate you for winning the Youth League and getting the best player of year-award. Our team also did best in the finals but in the end we lost to Okaka FC Dandelions 3-2. Next year we will win for sure! Oh, you should pay a visit so that we can celebrate your success! I'll be waiting for you.

2 Feb. 214X 12:34
From: Nagumo Ayaka

Why?

How could've he forgot all about her, who was the owner of the Tokyo's strongest female soccer team, Kiseki FC Sakura?

Maybe for the very reason she is owner of a female team, that her name never crossed his mind.

Kanon presses the screen to close the message. With his doors closed to other teams he has no choice but to turn to her. If someone has the power to help him and get him out of this shit then it's her. And so our hero heads towards Nagumo mansion.

-OO-

Kanon stares at the huge gate with awe written in his face. No matter how many times he visits the mansion he still hasn't gotten used to the fact how humongous it actually is.

Kanon presses the door bell and as response he soon hears strange noise. Finally, a female voice speaks.

"Who is it?"

Kanon smiles when he hears a familiar voice. So that girl still sticks to her mistress like glue. "It's me, Endou Kanon. I would like to meet with Ayaka."

There's a short silence and then the female continues. "Ah, Kanon-sama, it really has been a while. I'll send Kaede to pick you up." with that the call is cut off.

Within less than minute the doors finally opens and Kanon sees a black Maybach Exelero waiting for him just behind the entrance. A man with straight dark brown hair and reddish eyes stands next to the fabulous car suited formally. He bows at Kanon and opens door to the boy.

Hesitating for a moment Kanon finally sits down. The butler closes the door and walks to the driver seat of the Maybach. Kanon glances out of cars window when he hears the engine starting up. How long it has been since he last time visited this place? He has been so absorbed with soccer and the Youth League that he didn't have enough time to pay to visit to her.

"Is she angry…?" the boy mumbles to Kaede. The man glances at him through the rear mirror and smiles kindly as an answer. There he goes again, Kaedes sweet smile. He always does that when he tries to avoid answering the question.

"If you're that concerned about it, you should ask Ayaka-sama about it. I'm sure that mistress will give you a clear answer." Kaede answers to Kanon keeping that ridiculous smile on his face. They then finally arrive at the main building and Kaede stops the car.

The walks out and open the door for Kanon. The teen thanks him and gets off the car. Before the entrance a female figure is waiting for him. When Kanon walks to her, she bows.

"I'm glad to see you, Kanon-sama. Come, Ayaka-sama is waiting for you." the maid speaks. She is clothed to gorgeous violet and blue-colored kimono with butterfly patterns. Her dark purple hair is freely lying on her shoulders. The bangs are straight, but otherwise hair curls beautifully making her cerulean-blue eyes stand out.

"Ichiban-san." Kanon stares at the head maid of Nagumo family. Despite being the same as Kanon the girl has already control over the maids and butlers of the mansion. Hitori makes a small movement and Kanon snaps out of it. "Let's go."

Hitori bows and then welcomes Kanon inside. The two of them walk in the hallways of the fabulous building. Hitori walks with small but fast steps leading the greenette to her mistress. Kanon stares at the purple haired girl.

"Is she angry?" he asks the same question from Hitori. For a moment her steps slow down and she turns to look at Kanon. The moment their eyes meet, Kanon gets goose bumps all over his body. Her stare is cold and piercing as if her eyes are made of glass.

Hitori then turns around and continues walking. "You should ask Ayaka-sama, she'll give you the right answer." Just like Kaede, Hitori avoids answering to the question. Kanon gulps. If two of Ayakas' trusted servants refuse to answer to his question then it can only mean one thing. The girl is definitely angry.

"We're here." Kanon snaps out of it when Hitori speaks again. Before he realized it they have already reached Ayakas' office. Hitori knocks the door lightly and then opens the door. "Ayaka-sama. Kanon-sama has arrived and wants to meet with you." the girl bows and waits for the answer.

"Let him in." a familiar voice speaks. Kanons breathing stops for a moment. It has been such a long time since he last time heard her voice. A smile can be spotted on the teens face as he enters the office.

In the small but cozy office a female with fire-red hair is sitting behind what it looks like a hologram screen. Her oak tree table is filled with numerous piles of paper so that she gets lost behind it. There's also a dark shelving made of black walnut. It mostly has already finished paper works.

The red-haired female raises her head and rolls on her chair when she sees Kanon entering the room. She gives him a wide smile and then speaks. "So you really came. That was fast." Nagumo Ayaka greets Kanon and stands up from her chair.

The greenette gulps loudly when he sees her drawing closer to him. He should most likely get straight to the business. "Well, yeah. I… Ayaka-san."

Ayakas' eyes widen. She stops and goes to move the paper piles to that she can sit on the table. When she has finally seated herself and fixed the hems of her red dress Ayaka turns her attention back to Kanon. Her expression is kind of serious, and why not? Kanon has the habit of calling her by honorifics only when he is in trouble. That's how it has always been.

"So, what is it?" the girl smiles playfully swinging her legs back and forth.

Sometimes Kanon can hardly believe that this person is the current head of Nagumo family. After her fathers' death few years earlier Ayaka took over the title as head of the family. The work is all done by her uncle and aunt though, till Ayaka turns 18 and can legally inherit the company.

Ayaka keeps staring at the boy with intense look. She is still waiting for Kanon to answer to her. Finally the greenette snaps out of it. "I… Well… I kind of need your help." he finally manages to mumble as Ayakas stare is just too much for him.

Ayaka stops swinging her legs and her expression gets serious. She glances at the boy with 'I want to you to tell me everything' expression. Kanon sighs and sits down to the quest seat.

And so he tells everything he knows. About the Youth League, the firing and how he wasn't accepted to any other teams. "In that very moment you sent me a message and I thought that maybe you could help me to create a new team. After all you are the owner of Kiseki FC Sakura and the Inazuma FC." Kanon endes his explanation.

Ayaka closes her eyes for a moment and draws her arm to her chin. She then bits her lower lip; a habit which helps her to concentrate. "Yes, most likely the coach is trying to sabotage you. I guess that we should do something about it." the girl then mumbles and stands up.

She walks to her chair and rolls it back to her desk and the hologram screen. She flashes a short look at Kanon. "And what comes to your request, it's not half a bad idea. Inazuma FC has strong female teams. It's about time we start to conquer the world of male soccer." her smile is so evil for a moment that Kanon wonders if she got possessed all of a sudden.

Ayaka makes few swift movements on the desk. All of sudden a voice answers.

"What do you want from me?" the person on the other line surely doesn't sound so happy. More like it's grumpy and angry, as if Ayaka has interrupted something important.

"Yu-Nee. I need you, Aniki and Yuracchi to look over the file I just sent you. We need to gather up a male youth team." Ayaka explains to the person on the other side of the line.

"Eh? What? MALE Youth Team? Why so sudden, do you have a loose screw?" the voice seems surprised.

"It's all for Kanon." the girl tells bluntly. Kanon can see as her cheeks starts to redden. Even though she's just speaking through phone she still blushes when mentioning his name. That is kind of cute, Kanon thinks.

Silence.

"Yu-Nee?"

A sigh.

"I should've thought. You'll do just anything when it comes to Kanon." the voice mumbles. A certain amount of malice can be heard.

"So you're in or not?" Ayaka asks, avoiding the statement.

"Arg! Whatever." With that the line breaks off. Ayaka smiles happily. She is really glad that those three are willing to co-operate with her. They are the best partners she could ask for.

"With that it's decided then. I get you the players and you gather them. After that we can start training… And of course you're allowed to use our grounds." the female then smiles and stands up from her seat returning to the other side of desk.

Kanon cannot hold back his happiness. Without any second thought he goes and hugs the girl. Ayakas eyes widen, but she gently returns his hug. When Kanon feels her arms slowly wrapping around him he remembers it. He has done something very rude to her. He needs to apologize.

"Aya-"

He is cut off by Ayakas gentle smile. The girl stands on her tip toes and draws her body closer to Kanon. "I want my reward for the help…" she whispers and presses her lips against Kanon. The two of them flow into their own world for a moment. They even forget that Hitori is still in the room.

When Ayaka finally breaks the kiss she lowers her head and presses it against Kanons chest. Her body starts to tremble as she tries to resist tears from coming. She grabs hold of Kanons sleeves.

"I was so lonely, Kanon! You never called me, you didn't come to see me. I thought that maybe…" the girl cries and stops to sniff. She then raises her head and stares at Kanon with her amber-colored eyes.

"That maybe you didn't lov-"

This time it is Ayakas' turn to be cut off. The greenette smiles at her and gently kisses her forehead. "Don't even dare to say that because it's not true. I will always love you." the boy confesses his feels. Ayakas grip on him weakens.

Kanon embraces Ayaka. "I'm sorry Ayaka."

It is weird how they actually ended up together. Kanon still remembers the day when Ayaka suddenly approached him and claimed that from now on he is her boyfriend.

Yes. Believe it or not Ayaka Nagumo is his girlfriend.

Ayaka smiles. "Apology accepted."

Kanojo.


Sakuchii: I literally screwed up this chapter, nee?

Ayaka: I feel you, my darling.

Sakuchii: To put it shortly, the reason for Kanojo. Kanojo means in Japan both Girlfriend and girl/her. I decided to use it because Girlfiend stands for the fact that Kanon and Ayaka are dating. Girl stads for the fact that Kanon seeks out for that girl when he is in trouble (leaving out the fact they're dating). Ah, I shouldn't start explaining things when I'm tired.

Ayaka: Anyway we got the OC we wanted so the submission is closed. We're waiting for those who still hasn't fully filled up the form. (No need to hurry since it'll take sometime for this person to update again). Hmm... what more?

Sakuchii: Nothing, I guess. I would want to add a preview, but my mind is blank at the moment, gomen.
