Koda looked at her hands, she still remembered the way her hands grasped the football. When the skin of the ball rubbed against hers and when she threw it to one of the players on the field. It felt different. She felt the power…but it wasn't enough. She put up her hands in front of her and imagined her hands on someone's jersey and using the power in her arms to push them back towards the ground to let the running back run towards the end fie-

Wait a minute.

What was she thinking?

Football?

No! No! No! None of that!

Koda shook her head and rubbed her arms, they were still rather sore from when she saved Hiruma from the oncoming car. She realized where she was. She was in a family diner that was not too far from her home; she was having her usual turkey sandwich with steaming mash potatoes and drinking an ice tea. She likes to come to this diner to think and when she wanted to be by herself.

She saw the Devil Bats practicing before coming here. The gunshots sounds were still ringing in her ears. The team wasn't bad but they weren't good either when she saw the flaws in their technique. Their team was incomplete, the team couldn't survive on so little players and they needed something else but she couldn't point it out. And she surely wasn't going to tell them even if she knew.

Would she?

She sighed; grabbing the cold cup and watch the ice twirl around the brown liquid. She should be getting home.

"Koda-chan?"

Her attention was brought up when she looked up and saw an old friend.

"Unsui-kun?" A tall light skin well built man with a shaved head stood before her with a smile; he was carrying a sports bag over his shoulder and had his usual Shinryuuji Naga uniform that looked like a karate uniform with a darker yellow color.

"Unsui-kun!" Koda jumped up from her seat and wrapped her arms around Unsui, he chuckled and returned her hug.

"I haven't seen you sine middle school, is this where you've been hiding?"

"Yeah let's say that!" Koda chuckled. "But look at you I can barely put my arms around you. Football practice must really be working for you isn't?"

"I guess so." Unsui chuckled, Koda grabbed his arm to sit him down across from her. He looked at her school uniform and recognized the colors. "You go to Deimon? I thought you moved away."

"I did for a while, but my parents decided to move back. Which school do you go to now?"

"Shinryuuji Naga."

"Wait what?!" She exclaimed loudly. "That's like one of the best schools ever! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you." Unsui smiled.

"Plus I heard their sports program is amazing and they're known for their football program. You must be the best of the best in the team right."

"Well, I'm ok. Agon is the best of the team."

Koda felt her skin crawl when she heard Agon's name, she almost forgot Agon was his twin brother. How can those two brothers look alike and yet be complete opposite inside and outside? She shifted uncomfortably in her seat before scratching her cheek as she looked down.

"How is…Agon?"

"He's his usual self; arrogant and stubborn. Not much to say."

"Hmm…"

Unsui sighed; "Are you still upset about"-

"Huh? No. Of course not! There's just something else on my mind that's all."

"What of?"

"Do you remember when I practiced football with you and Agon?"

"Yes. Everyday afterschool we went to the parks together, your father sometimes taught us a few tricks too."

"Well…This guy…Yoichi Hiruma is his name…he wants me to join his football team."

"But you gave it up before you moved away, how did he find out that you played football before?"

"I…sort-of…saved him from a car and I guess he saw me as a lineman. He kept persisting me to join the team. But I don't want to."

"Don't want to or can't?" Unsui asked.

"I can't and I don't want to. You saw how my father was back then, besides my brother should be the one playing football. No one would take me serious anyway, a girl football player. I mean come on."

"I see what you're saying. But I also remember when you played football and those were the happiest I've seen you been."

"Well the past is in the past now. I have to worry about my future, like college and...other things."

"You never like studying, stop lying to yourself."

Koda laughed at Unsui's response. For the next few hours, Koda and Unsui talked about what happened in the past two years of not seeing each other. So much has changed since they last saw each other but their friendship still remained the same. Koda was thankful for that.

Now what was she to do?

Review the love!
