CHAPTER 2: The Angel
and
The Dragon Descends
"I stepped on this path
unaware that it has no answers
the trace is small but
my eyelashes are moistened
as far as you can touch."
~Front Gate of Hades Apartment~
Several Men in Black suits lined up, giving way to their masters, three butlers carrying luggage and putting them on the trunk of the car.
"Is there any particular place you want to go Young master?" The driver asked.
The Silver Haired Teen looked up from his book.
"Just bring me and my friends' home, I'll stay there for the meantime to rest." He said.
"As you wish young Master…" The Driver answered and drove them back to the Kusanagi Manor.
As they were on the road, Flare couldn't stop thinking of what did Ryushin do to the CD.
"Ano…Ryushin-san, I'm curious." He said
"Hm?"
"What did you do to the CD?" Flare asked.
"Oh That." Ryushin uncharacteristically smirked. "I just applied a little Virus is all."
~In The Lab~
"Sir, Something's wrong with the programs." A Scientist reported.
"What happened?" Coach Yoshimitsu asked.
"Our Data has been destroyed and all of the files that we had gathered have been erased as well." The Scientist answered. "And all our Backups and security firewalls have been breached and all of the systems are corrupted and unrecoverable."
Coach Yoshimitsu stood up from his perch.
"WHAT!" He roared angrily. "How can this be? Who could have done this?"
Then a shadow appeared at the corner.
"The CD that Ryushin must have brought must have done it all, he is not a genius for nothing you know." He said.
"That Traitor, I swear I'll-." Coach Yoshimitsu hissed.
"If you're going to punish the traitor, you had it coming again…" The shadow said.
"Why?" Coach Yoshimitsu asked.
"He already Left the Academy and no one knows where he's heading along with his companions." The shadow answered.
"WHAT!" Coach Yoshimitsu roared again.
"He's pretty wise, no wonder the Leader's so obsessed with him to the point of killing that poor boy's boyfriend." The Shadow said.
~Raimon Soccer Club House~
Tenma was a bit distracted and he's been on a daze, much like Kirino, the team had noticed it after what that mysterious boy told them and they're starting to get worried.
"Ano…Tenma, Kirino-san are you guys Okay?" Nishizono asked.
Everyone panicked when Tears started to fall from both Tenma and Kirino's eyes.
"I can't believe it that he was alive, Ryu is alive!" Tenma sobbed.
"You mean that Mysterious Kid was Ryu?" Nishizono asked.
Tenma and Kirino nodded.
"How did you guys met him?" Sangoku asked.
"We were classmate when we were elementary." Tenma answered.
"His Parents and mine were best friends, so Ryu and I were friends as well." Kirino answered.
"What that Goalkeeper said is the same as what Ryu would always say when he taunt someone." Tenma added.
"And how would you know it is him?" Kariya asked.
"He alone would say something like that." Kirino said.
"You mean 'I Don't Get The Joke.' Was that it?" Shindou asked.
"I know it's him, I can feel it, I had these strong feelings when I look into those eyes, behind the mask, I can feel that he knows me for a very long time." Tenma said.
"But…I think our chance of meeting will be thin." Kirino said with teary eyes.
And then from the door, Coach Endou along with Coach Kidou stood…
"That is where you are wrong, Kirino-kun." Coach Endou said.
The team looked at the Coach with wide eyes, seeing their confusion, Coach Kidou took the first move.
"You see, Yesterday night." He began.
~Kidou's PoV~
I was heading back home after the heated Challenge from an unknown team, the team that the Raimon had faced today was strong and we had barely scored if it weren't for the advises that the mysterious Goalkeeper has been giving, all those taunts he had been saying has message behind it, no one knows who he was, but I cannot sense any hostility around him, only that strange air that surrounds him…I continued to ponder over who was that boy…as I continued on my way a familiar silver locks caught my sight and there I saw the same goalkeeper that I had been pondering, he was still in his uniform and he was standing before me.
'You are one of the Raimon Coach am I correct?' He asked.
I was surprised at his politeness, no harsh words nor taunts, just a plain question.
"Yes I am." I answered.
'I Just want to tell you that you have to train them even further so they'll stand a chance at against the upcoming Underworld Tournament where different soccer players around the world will compete, Japan is going to compete as well.' He said.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
'Even if I don't Raimon will be forced in any means necessary, that's why I'm telling you this in advance because it's for their own sake as well for Tenma and Kirino.' He said with a hint of sadness.
"What has Tenma and Kirino has something to do with this?" I asked rather defensively.
'Because they are my friends and I will do anything with all my power to keep them safe from Hades, I don't want the same incident will happen to them like what happened this past two years, a Raimon Player was coldly murdered all because of his refusal to the offer that was given to him by my Own Coach…Yoshimitsu Nakago, The game earlier was to spy on your players.' He said.
I was shocked at what I have heard, the Goalkeeper is spilling the things he knows too me.
"What?" I forced the question out.
'I was ordered to get Data and information about your team, so that he could scout them to become one of Hades' player, of course I knew what he's planning to do so during the night before the game I worked up a plan on destroying every information I gathered for this past years…there is no way I will let Da Shan's former team become a victim of that experiment, so I created a terrible virus that will destroy all files and data in the main computer, breach all the backup system and security firewall and everything that was gathered on that computer.' He said nonchalantly.
"So what will happen next?" I asked after I recovered from my shock.
'Tomorrow is the day I will leave Hades Academy and the day where my entire plan will begin and also they Day I will come to Raimon.' He informed flatly as if he doesn't care to what will happen at all.
"Why choosing Raimon of all school?" I asked curiously.
He looked at me thought even I couldn't see his eyes I can feel the great sadness and pain in the air.
'There is a promised that I hadn't fulfilled a long time ago, so now is the time to do it, and correct the mistake that I hadn't corrected since the day he died.' He said. 'And also, this decision I made is for Tenma and Kirino's sake, as their friend this is all I can do for them after disappearing for several years without even saying goodbye.' He said his voice was cracked telling me that he was trying not to cry.
"Is there any particular reason that why you didn't told them anything?" I asked softly.
'I was unable to, because my mind was filled with anger and hate, there was nothing in my mind that day but vengeance, 'after the night he died I wept my tears until they dried, But the pain stayed the same I didn't want him to die all in vain, I made a promise to revenge his soul in time, I'll make them bleed down at my feet.' Those were the words that were in my mind, day and night I search for the cause of his death until I accidentally heard what my Coach Said. 'That boy Da Shan had showed promising skills but too bad he refused so I have to silence him so no one will know what we plan, we cannot let those Resistance to know.' That's what he said, I was furious but I had to hold myself so that my plan had to work…I didn't told anybody about it, but Flare, Gust and your Nephew Jin knows everything about it. I told them everything I know and they understood, they want to partake on my vengeance for they had suffered the same way as I am, we walk the same dark path, we work together as one and will fight together as vengeance itself, no matter what it will take we will destroy all those who are responsible of killing the persons we loved the most…' he explained with utmost bitterness in his voice.
"Is there anything you want me to relay to your friends?" I asked.
He looked at me, then he took something in his pocket and handed it over to me…they were letters.
'The Pink envelope is for Kirino-san, the Brown one is for Tenma-san and the Silver one is for the boy named Takuto Shindou…it's from his Captain Da Shan…I trust that you will hand it over to them.' he said and disappeared from my sight.
~End of PoV~
"That was the night I last saw him." Coach Kidou said. "Trusting me to hand over the letters that he gave to me…"
He then fumbled on his pockets he distributed the letters to their rightful recipient. Tenma accepted the Brown envelop, while Kirino accepted the Pink one and Shindou accepted the Silver envelope. Tenma opened his letter and read.
~Tenma's Letter~
My Dear Friend Tenma,
I hope by the time you read this letter We've been together for so long… But, we both know our friendship changed after all those years. We changed... And in your heart, I think you realized it too. Maybe the time together, got us to realize that we needed some time apart. You might think that this will be a couple of weeks and a couple of months... but... I don't know. Every time we fought, I hated myself for it. Somehow, even though we loved each other as a friend, we lost that magical bond that kept us together. I know that sounds like an excuse, but please forgive me when I say that I didn't mean to leave without saying a word, please forgive me. I'll understand if you never want to talk to me again, just as I'll understand if you tell me that you hate me. Part of me hates me, too. Even though you may not want to hear it, I want you to know that you'll always hold a special part in my heart. You're the perfect friend, you're kind and gentle, but more than that.. you're the first friend I ever truly have. And no matter what the future brings, you always will be, and I know that yours and my life is better for it.
I'm sorry
Ryu
~Letter End~
Tears fell down from Tenma's eyes, he stood up trying to stop his tears but failed miserably, so he ran out of the club.
"Tenma!" Tsurugi called out and ran after his Boyfriend.
The whole team watched in worry, they knew Tenma was the one who got the most effect of grief and pain, Kirino would understand, but Tenma is different, none of them knew the connection between the boy named Ryu and him. Kirino wanted to open the letter that was in his hand, but was too afraid to do so after what happened to Tenma.
"Aren't you going to read yours?" Sangoku asked.
Kirino opened his Letter and read it.
~Kirino's Letter~
My Dear Friend Kirino,
I am writing this letter. Although, I'm not the type to write, I'd rather say it here rather that in your face because.. I'd rather not see that tears on your face. You might already know what I'm about to say, but.. please forgive me. I couldn't give you everything you wanted, and I feel pathetic that I couldn't.. In the times we've spent there were times when you truly smiled, and times when I saw those fake smiles.. To tell you the truth, I hated myself every time you had to force yourself.. I just wanted to tell you that you didn't have to force yourself.. It didn't matter to me whoever you were, but I guess.. I just didn't want to see you this way.. I don't really know what to do, I don't want to risk our friendship, or just keep pretending that everything is alright. It is said that through life, you make mistakes, time passes and you eventually learn from them. In my case, it's the total opposite. I keep making mistakes yet I never learn. I keep telling myself that it all happened for a reason. I'm the person that I am today because of them. If that all hadn't happened, I wouldn't have the outlook on the world that I do. I keep saying it happened for the better as painful as it all is but, I need to face it... that's why I need to stay away as far as I can from you, because I don't want you to be hurt like I Am…Kirino…No…Ranmaru, I know this will hurt you than it will hurt me… We have to cut our Ties as friends, For yours and Tenma's Sake…I have to cut our connection as a friend, so that you'll never get involve to the trouble that I had started…
I'm Very Sorry…Ranmaru…
Ryu
~End of the Letter~
After reading the letter, Kirino's world was starting to break apart. He returned the letter back to the envelop and rigidly walked out of the club room, once outside all of his tears rolled down from his eyes, he had to run so no one would see him crying, he ran and ran until he reached the playground where He and Ryu had met, he ran behind the tree like where he used to hide when he's crying.
"Why? Why do you have to do this Ryu?" He sobbed.
He continued to stay there for almost 4 hours, in the Club House Everyone was worried, Kirino hadn't returned yet and so as Tenma and Tsurugi. Shindou was Reading his Letter, It wasn't from Ryu, but from his Former Captain.
~Shindou's Letter~
Greetings Shindou,
I know that this letter will come to you very late, and once you read this I'm already gone, I know I've never been a good Captain to you and had no right to ask you a favor…If you by any chance met a boy named Ryushin Kusanagi he's the boy whom I loved, Yes I know he's from the enemy team…Please Takuto, Take good care of him…I loved him so much that I would give my life for him, I know that My Death will hurt him so much that he couldn't bear to endure…I know that he had lost too many friends in his life, I know every pain that he endured before I came to his life…Takuto, I know you'll be the next Captain after my death, take care of our club okay? Good, and as for Ryu-kun Takuto I have to tell you that He might be the Last among the Line of the Original 11 of Hades Team, Him being an Original needs something from the dealer to compensate the Deal we made…and do you know what I asked him?...I asked him to come to Raimon in exchange…I gave the important thing in my life…my Love…I gave him my heart and my life…He agreed to our deal, and he will come in time you receive this letter. If you ever hear him tell you this.
"I will give you what you want, However you must give me what is important to you."
Answer him wisely or you'll pay the price by losing a limb, yes he is a monster of a person if you give him too much or not enough, do not let him go Takuto, I never asked anything to you my friend but this, Please don't give up on him like I did no matter how hard to get along with him and I'm sure he'll come around when needed.
He's the reason why I'm strong during our games…
Thank You for everything, Takuto
Da Shan
~Letter Ends~
"Don't give up on him." Shindou Murmured, he put the paper back on the envelope and pocketed the letter. "I'll do my Best, I promise I won't give up on him, like you did…Captain."
"So what does that means?" Kurumada asked.
Shindou looked back at his team even if it lacks three.
"My Captain's first and last wish is, I'll take over his responsibilities on Ryushin." He said flatly.
"EH!" The whole club screeched enough to break a glass.
"Are you serious!" Sangoku said. "As in Ryu that guy whom got our asses kicked?"
"He's not that bad, isn't he?" Shindou asked.
The group thought hard, that a cloud of thoughts can be seen on top of their heads.
"Captain, taking responsibilities of that guy…" They mumbled.
Let's see what's going on at their clouds of thoughts.
"Shindou, was in a maid's outfit taking care of the frightening masked goalkeeper, Shindou cleaning, gardening, cooking and many more."
They were cut off of their clouds of thoughts seeing Sousha Maestro towering over them threateningly.
"Think something like that again and it will be your heads." Shindou hissed. "Besides it's my Late Captain's wish and he entrusted it to me."
"So you're serious on taking care of him?" Kurumada said.
"No matter how hard it is, it's the reason why my Late Captain is strong until on his dying breath and it's all because of Ryushin Captain died with a smile on his face, I'll find him no matter what it takes." Shindou said.
~Meanwhile in Kusanagi Manor~
Ryushin was talking to his Older Brother Ryuga Tendo.
"Are you sure about the school of your choice?" The older sibling asked.
"Yes, I'm fine with it…besides I'll be more in peace if I'm in there unlike in Hades Academy where you have to look out and stay alert just to live and not be killed." Ryushin said.
The Older Silver head sighed, since he's the oldest of the three siblings even if he and Ryuto are on their mother's side he still has to take good care and protect his little brother as he promise to their deceased parents.
"Very well, this is your last school transfer if anything happens to you I will be strict on my promise and will home school you. Am I Clear?" He asked sternly.
"Understood Big Brother Ryuga..." Ryushin answered.
"Prepare your things and call down your friends, I'll drive you four to school." Ryuga said flatly.
The older Silver Head stood up and made a call to Raimon…Ryushin went to his shared room and called out his three friends.
"Jin, Flare, Gust…are you guys ready, Nii-sama had informed the Principal in Raimon on our arrival, and we're going there today." Ryushin called out.
No answer, he shrugged and opened the door when he was inside his eyes behind the mask widened a bit. There in front of him, Flare and Gust are tied to each other with the ball of yarn and floundering around in an attempt to break free, and Jin was nowhere to be seen and the Silver haired teen had only one idea where the dark haired first year went to…the closet. Ryushin sauntered to the closet and opened it up just in cue Jin tripped over when he was about to ram the door open only to crash land on the older teen, and there was a snap of thread and a yell of.
"FREEDOM!" The Red and Light Blue Haired first years cried out.
Just then Ryuto the other Silver Head sauntered in.
"Oh My Jin! I never knew you're That!" He smiled light heartedly.
Jin crawled off of his Older friend and looked at the other man.
"No I'm not." He mumbled while his cheeks are red.
Ryushin stood up from his previous position and looked up at his light hearted brother.
"What is it you need Big Brother Ryuto?" He asked flatly.
The older silver head smiled.
"Ryuga is calling you four down stairs, he'll drive you to school." He said. "And Oh!, Beware of fangirls Shin-chan."
The four raced down stairs and went to the car. So while on the road.
"Shin, Ryuto and I will be off the country for a while for business matters, can you handle things in the house while we are away?" Ryuga asked as he drives.
"It's fine, Flare, Gust and Jin are with me…there is no problem, so how long are you and Ryuto-nii will away?" The younger silver head asked.
"About a month or so…so you better take good care of everything here while we are away, the Restaurant and the Resort I mean." Ryuga informed.
"Right, I'll handle it, no problem." Ryushin answered.
"Good." Ryuga answered and parked the car right in front of the school gate of Raimon.
The four marched out of the car and stayed for a moment.
"If you need anything just call me alright, Shin?" The Silver Haired man asked not even looking outside.
"Yes." The younger one answered and walked in the gate as the car move away from sight.
While walking towards their room, Ryushin noticed a Swirly haired boy whom he recognized before running towards his friends.
"Ryushin-sama…" Flare called out.
"Sorry, let's get moving." Ryushin answered automatically and headed to their room.
~Room 1-2~
Ryushin looked at the list in his hand, then to his companions.
"You three, this will be your classroom First year section Two…I thought you three did better on your entrance exams." He muttered.
"Sorry, we forgot the answers to the half of the questions." Flare and Gust mumbled.
"The Time ran out while I was answering the half of the question." Jin explained.
The older Silver Head Huffed.
"Excuses, I will let you off the hook this time…but the next time will be a different matter." He said and walked off.
~Room 2-1~
Ryushin looked at his list and found his room.
"Second Year section 1 room 1..." He mumbled and knocked on the door politely.
The teacher peeked out and saw him.
"Hello there you must be the new student, please come in." She said.
Ryushin nodded and walked in. inside Shindou and Kirino were talking about something, when the teacher called out their attention their eyes widened in recognition.
"Class, this is Mr. Kusanagi Ryushin, he's a transfer student from a distant school, please be nice to him." The Teacher said happily.
There were waves of murmurs around the room.
'What is the rich kid doing on a school like this?'
'He's so cool.'
'He's mysterious.'
'Why was he wearing a mask?'
"Is there any question you would like to ask to Mr. Kusanagi?" The Teacher asked.
A green haired girl raised a hand, the teacher nodded.
"W-Why of all school why did you choose Raimon?" She asked.
The Silver Haired Teen looked at her direction.
"It's for convenient since my house is not too far from here." Ryushn answered with his smooth, slight deep voice.
Some girls sighed dreamily. Then a rather hyper girl raised her hand…Ryushin raised an elegant eyebrow behind his mask. The teacher nodded in response, and the girl giggled.
"What do you like?" She asked while giggling.
So this is what Ryuto-nii meant of Fangirl.
"My Likes are none of your concern to know so it's better for you to stick your nose somewhere else aside from other peoples' business." Ryushin answered rather flatly.
The girl pouted, then another girl raised a hand, she's rather shy and cute.
"A-Ano…What do you dislike?" She asked shyly.
Ryushin for the second time of the day he raised his eyebrow. The poor girl looks so embarrassed that she would melt right where she was standing.
"Well…my dislikes are nosy people, fangirls, and many more and before you ask I have no resentment on girls like you so it's alright that we'll be friends." Ryushin answered.
The girl blushed lightly and nodded.
"Now you may ask Mr. Kusanagi your questions later. For now we shall resume our class…Mr. Shindou would you be so kind to stand up so Mr. Kusanagi would recognize his seatmate." The teacher said.
Shindou looked at his friend Kirino and shakily stood up. The teacher nudged Ryushin on his direction, when the silver head stood next to him.
"Good to see you again, Captain of Raimon." Ryushin Murmured.
Shindou stiffened on his position and took his seat. Meanwhile on room 1 section 2, Flare, Gust, Jin and a short eleven years old blond haired kid took their seats at the back whilst to Tenma, Nishizono and Kariya's dismay.
'Of all people who has to transfer why them?' They thought.
As if reading their mind Jin, Flare and Gust gave the trio a rather sweet yet creepy smile, while the blond one was smiling directed to Kariya of all people who was now starting to have a panic attack.
'God Help us all!' They cried mentally.
During break Shindou was a bit shaken at his rather terrifying encounter (with Ryushin during his class mind you) was walking rigidly towards the club house to meet the others, whilst Tenma, Nishizono and a rather Pale Kariya stalked behind him. Inside the team noticed the four somes pale faces and got rather confused.
"Are you guys alright?" Hayami asked.
Then all hell breaks loose.
"HE'S HERE!" Kariya screeched.
"Who?" Sangoku asked.
"That Guy!" Nishizono answered.
"What?" Hikaru asked rather confused.
"That guy we encountered yesterday!" Tenma said.
And 3…
2…
1…
"WHAAATT?" The whole Raimon Team Screamed enough to blow the ceiling of the club house away.
"Three of them are our classmate." Tenma said.
"Wow, you guys are unlucky." Kurama said.
Kirino entered the room just in time telling them who is their new classmate.
"Well at least they didn't have unlucky enough." Kirino said optimistically.
The group blinked confusedly.
"Why?" Tsurugi asked this time.
Kirino smiled at the team although he was a bit pale himself.
"Well, Shindou and I had a new classmate and this classmate happens to be the captain of the team we fought yesterday." He explained.
The room grew silent that you can almost hear crickets chirping.
"Wow that is so unlucky." Hamano murmured.
That Time a blond boy was walking around the school in search for a certain teal haired first year, And happens to passed by the soccer field, as he pass by he noticed a silver haired boy sitting near the flower patch.
"That's odd, a guy likes flowers?" He murmured tilting his head rather cutely (A/N: Nosebleed).
He noticed that the guy was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face and what he looks like., then the guy suddenly looked at his way noticing him.
'Crap! He saw me!' He thought and walks away, but then he heard a song..
In the flower patch, Ryushin watched the short kid walk away and leave him alone. He went back on his business.
"It's been so lonely after you died…I was wondering what is life here in Raimon…" he murmured. "I still remember the song you sing to me back then when we're still together."
Ryushin hummed some Tune.
"Umaleru Kutoba, Kie Yuku Kotoba
Anata no naka ni ikitsu Zukeru kotoba
Tachidomari suuna toki yukei to kawaru
saa, aruki dasou mamo toki yori
Anata watsuyoku nai te iru kara
Mou, mayo wa naitei ano toshi kotoba o
shinjitei."
After humming some more Ryushin didn't realize the attention he unintentionally caught.. as he look up he saw shocked faces looking at him…yes even his three companions.
"Never in my days since we first met had I heard you sing before." Gust said dumbly.
"I agree with gust, we haven't heard you sing at all, you had a good voice Ryu-sama." Flare added.
"Not only in Piano, violin or any sort of things, you are quite a good singer too." Jin commented.
Ryushin coughed trying to push the persistent blush down.
"Why? Don't I look like capable of singing?" He said.
"Well, no one really knows because you rarely show them…" Jin answered.
"That song what is it?" Flare asked.
"Da Shan sung that to me once to calm me down from one of my infamous rages, it helps a lot, everytime I sing it, and I can feel that he's just right here with me." Ryushin said uncharacteristically shy.
Suddenly a soccer ball bumped on his foot.
"Hey! Can you pass it here?" A Familiar voice called out.
The four some looked at the voice's direction and saw a swirly haired boy whom they saw at the gates hours ago. Ryushin stood up from his position and start rushing on the net, Tenma, Tsurugi and Shindou tried to tackle him but he avoided them perfectly and shoots the soccer ball to the net with sangoku missing the ball.
"Th-that was fast…I-I can even barely see the ball coming." He muttered in shock.
Ryushin stood with dignity and pride in the field.
"Speed…Power…and Tactics…that's one of the requirements when you play in the game…pay attention on your opponents' movements and focus on the game." He said and left the field.
Tenma and the team watched him go.
~Kirino's PoV~
I watched as the ball rolled outside the field to the familiar silver head on the flower patch.
"Hey! Can you pass it here?" A Tenma called out.
Kusanagi-kun dribbled the ball towards the field calmly, but as he steps on the field on where he stands there was suddenly a blur my eyes widened when I saw him dribbling the ball towards the net with an amazing speed, I saw Tenma running towards my classmate in an attempt to steal the ball but when Tenma was about to tackle him he suddenly disappeared from sight then there was a white blur running towards Tsurugi, our ace striker was a bit surprised that my classmate was dashing on his direction, his instinct kicking in he managed to snatched the ball but it short lived when Kusanagi-kun tackled Tsurugi-kun to the ground, it may look like an ordinary tackle but it sent Tsurugi-kun to the ground, then lastly is Shindou's turn…remembering the game yesterday Shindou did his best to stop Kusanagi-kun, he got close he tried to slide tackle our classmate, but unexpectedly Kusanagi-kun took the ball with his feet and tossed it backwards, the ball arched above his head then Kusanagi-kun kicked the ball with an amazing speed towards the net passing without Sangoku knowing what had happened.
"Th-that was fast…I-I can even barely see the ball coming." He muttered in shock.
Kusanagi-kun stood with dignity and pride in the field.
"Speed…Power…and Tactics…that's one of the requirements when you play in the game…pay attention on your opponents' movements and focus on the game." He said and left the field.
We watched him go back to his friends, was that another advice just now? That guy…he's a one experienced soccer player.
~End of PoV~
Later as the Team do an after class practice, Coach Endou called them to gather up. He looked at Tenma, Tsurugi, Shindou and Sangoku with a smile.
"Did you four enjoy your little encounter with Kusanagi-kun a while ago?" He asked.
Sangoku flushed in embarrassment at what happened earlier.
"I failed to protect the Goal from his attack." He mumbled embarrassedly.
"He's so fast." Tenma said equally embarrassed as Sangoku.
"That Guy's strong I'd never expect that he's a good all-around player he's strong as well." Tsurugi said.
Shindou didn't comment.
"Speed, Power and Tactics, huh, so he implied each one of you about those three words…Tenma is for speed, Tsurugi is for Power and Shindou is for Tactics, well said for a Former Captain of Hades Block C." Coach Kidou said knowingly.
"Block C?" Amagi asked.
"Didn't you know that Hades Team Block C was the minor team of Hades Academy?" Coach Endou said.
"WHAT! MINOR TEAM!" The group screeched.
"But…But we were defeated by them How can they be Minor with their strength!" Kurama hissed.
"Kusanagi-kun is telling us that there are stronger player out there that we need to look out for…Hades Team is not something to be underestimate with." Coach Endou said.
The Team was silent for a moment, there was tension in the air and the two coaches can feel it.
"Okay Enough with the tension, we have a new member today." Coach Kidou said cutting the silence.
Then a very familiar blond that nearly gave Kariya a heart attack, There stood before them is the Eleven years old Freshman who was actually Tenma, Nishizono and Kariya's classmate.
"LUCA?" Kariya cried out.
Everyone looked at him in shock. Kariya blushed and looked away trying to ignore the said boy in front of him and his team.
"You two know each other?" Coach Kidou asked.
Kariya didn't bother to look and said.
"I don't know much about him but he lives in sun garden for like since he was born (or so he thinks) and got very close to everyone in Sun garden and treats Hitomiko like a mother while he also got close to Gazel who was his inspiration to play soccer but liked thinking of Hiroto as his dad but calls him Uncle Hiroto instead."
Everyone was shock to Kariya's statement even the Coaches.
"No Way!" The Team murmured.
The Team started to have a little chat with Luca, while Kariya did his best to ignore Luca.
"Ano…who was that guy a while ago, he plays so good." Luca asked very cutely (A/N: *Nosebleed*)…
"He's our classmate, he was a former soccer player." Kirino answered.
"But why? Why would he stop playing if he's that good at playing soccer?" Luca asked.
"There must be a reason why he stopped playing soccer." Tenma said.
Kirino and Shindou glanced at the Flower Patch where their silver haired classmate was sitting a while ago. Much Later when everyone in the school ground was almost gone, Ryushin came back at the flower patch and sat beside it…unknown to him a blond haired freshman, Shindou and most of the Raimon Team was eavesdropping, they kept quiet so they won't get caught. On the flower patch Ryushin sat there in silence, the wind blows gently. Then just like something phenomenal happens, the place suddenly becomes cold and almost creepy feelings crawling on everyone's skin.
"It's been awhile…I'm Sorry if I didn't visit." Ryushin murmured gently.
Then the wind around the area became warm, if only they had third eye they could see the spirit sitting in the middle of the flower patch.
"Who was he talking to?" Nishizono asked.
"I don't know." Kirino answered.
However Luca can sense something…
"Could it be a spirit of someone dead?" he asked.
"That's the place where Kirino and My Captain died two years ago." Shindou said.
"Nani?" Luca said in surprise.
"Two years ago if I'm correct our Captain fell in love with the Captain of a certain soccer player team during that time me and Kirino were still first years and is our first year in Raimon and the soccer team where it all began, Captain was in love with that First Year Captain, we always seen him talking to that first year in the park, that guy has beautiful silver hair, it is said that the Captain and that boy had been seeing each other and it's going to be their third year meeting together it's going to be Today. But one night Captain asked him to come on this place to meet the boy, but once Captain showed up he was in the brink of dying and he died on that spot." Shindou explained while pointing to the flower patch.
"It is said every night like this, someone always drop some flower on that spot, and the only person we can think of is that boy…and up until now it always happen." Kirino said.
"Some witnesses said that they saw a ghostly figure standing on that flower patch, the school tried to expel the spirit but nothing works, as if it won't leave because somehow the spirit is connected to someone." Sangoku said.
"And that someone is that guy?" Luca asked.
"Maybe, according to the expert they said that the spirit cannot leave until that someone dear to him or her is alright and safe…but in this case the spirit won't leave until that spirit's beloved is no longer in pain…" Kirino said.
"So this guy now…is the guy before?" Luca asked.
"No one knows, you see Either Captain Da Shan or That Kid had lots of way and lots of people to rely on, maybe that Kusanagi-kun was someone that the boy would send to see the grave." Shindou said.
As the group continues to eavesdrop Ryushin continued to speak with the dead.
"I had fulfilled your wish, but…I no longer have the desire to play soccer anymore…" He said.
The spirit looked at him sadly.
"I know it hurts you to see me this way, but at least let me carry the pain and burden you felt before, you and I are the same…let me carry this vengeance, let me carry it out till the end that's the only way I can be in peace…" Ryushin muttered. "I'll destroy them all."
~In Hades Main Branch~
"Are you sure you know what you are doing? You know he'll go mad and will destroy us." Lago said.
"I know what I'm doing, Lago…We are the New Generation of Hades, we are strong." Yohan huffed.
"Don't forget that we don't have the Keshin Eater, without it our plan is of no use no one knows Where it is and more importantly no one knows who possess it." Kousuke added.
"The Keshin Eater is a Dangerous Keshin and it is the only one in this world and only the strongest soccer player can possess it." Ami said.
"They said that the Keshin Eatear eats other Keshin no matter how strong it is as the witness said that once a Keshin Eater managed to devour a Keshin it become stronger." Angela said.
"In the Legend of Soccer they say that a Keshin Eater only possess those who have strong desires of power and destruction, and once the Keshin Eater made a bond with a person it will remain until that person's energy runs out and possess them utterly, and once it possess the person that person will die or have a very small chance of survival, the stronger the Keshin Eater eats a Keshin the more powerful it gets that's why the Keshin Eater is an Evil Legend that is still living until now." Johannes said.
"But no one knows if it does still exist, no one knows if there is still one." Kaito muttered.
"So what will happen to the victims when its Keshin was eaten?" lukia asked.
"Usually they will suffer mentally, sometimes gone insane, disability of the legs, traumatized, paralysis, bodily aches and even death. There are few victims died, that's why who ever possess a Keshin Eater they are Exiled somewhere far away." Lago said.
"What will happen to those who survived?" Ami asked.
Then…
"They will bear the scar of their experience with a Keshin Eater." Kazumi answered from the door.
"How did you know?" Kousukue asked.
"Because I came face to face with a Keshin Eater a year ago in the forest of despair…" Kazumi answered and removed his shirt revealing to them his scar on his back and on his right eye.
Everyone was speechless.
"What does that Keshin Eater Looks Like?" Yohan asked.
"If my memory serves me right…the Keshin Eater whom attacked me is an Evil Three Headed Dragon, which means is that the holder of that Keshin is a Dragon Keshin Holder." Kazumi answered.
"But they say that the Keshin Eater takes various forms." Ami said.
"That Depends on what kind of Holder is the Host." Kazumi answered.
"Wait…for Example like Yohan-sama's Diablo Nemesis, if it is fused with a Keshin Eater it will become something powerful…Diablo Nemesis will evolve to God Diablo Nemesis." Lago asked.
"Correct, Diablo Nemesis would become the God of Destruction and will most likely unstoppable." Kousuke answered.
"Hm…Interesting, such power that a Keshin Eater Possess…" Yohan murmured.
~Meanwhile~
Luca was Heading home as the sun goes down, he was a bit disappointed because Kariya had ignored him yet again. As he walks down the park, he saw someone sitting under the Sakura tree.
'Who could that be?' He asked himself.
Curiosity got the best of him and sees who it was, as he got closer he noticed the boy was sort of familiar but he couldn't point a finger on it, the boy who was sleep He looks nearly a feminine boy by the soft and Gentle face features, Silver with red streak at the fringe both left and right side of his hair, His hair patterns are in the form of swirls, and tamed spikes like to indicate his affinity to the Flames and the Red Streaks were in the pattern of wing like and swirls on the end tips. The boy was sleeping peacefully and looking so very innocent and vulnerable.
'He's Pretty.' Luca thought.
In the background if one could see a Giant Chinese Fire Dragon Coiling asleep and a dark long haired man with pitch black orbs and has one thorn and one black wing and has a black robe and holds a staff in the background, the One Winged Angel Hovers above the Sleeping Dragon.
As the sun goes down the first star appeared in the night sky, indicating the night has come.
