Everything was the next the next day.

Hiura was still unconscious, still no signs of waking up or even a slight change on his condition.

The only good thing that the doctor told them was, since Hiura's condition remained the same and didn't go for the worse, visitors were already allowed. However, they were still required to wear those sanitized coats and have those masks.

"I didn't realize that this will happen just to take one of us down." Endou said as he observed Hiura's face.

"I know. But we have to remain strong for him." A familiar voice said by the door.

They looked and their eyes widened in shock.

"Kidou?! What are you doing here?" Fudou asked.

"Coach messaged me about what happened. And I took the earliest flight I could get. I'm sorry I didn't come sooner. I was investigating. I've watched the CCTV footage and... There is something I should tell everyone."

Kidou could feel everyone's eyes staring at him as his looked at Kozoumaru, then Norika then Mansaku.

"It wasn't an accident." He finally said

Everyone's eyes widened.

"W-what do you mean?" Hiroto asked softly, but his voice held a growl that swears pain to whoever caused this to his friends.

"All of it was intentional. The people in the van was trying to kill the members of Inazuma Japan in the bus."

"Trying to kill us...? But who would do that?" Norika asked, head covered with a bandage.

"I zoomed in the video to look at the logo at the van. It was Orion."

"Orion?! Orion did this to them?! To Hiura?!" Goujin said, this time he was so angry he can't control the volume of his voice.

"Goujin, we might get kicked out. Your voice, please." Golem said, but he, along with the others, were shaking on what they heard.

They felt anger, at the same time, they felt like they should've prevented this from happening.

If only they paid more attention to Hiura and how he really felt, this shouldn't have happened.

Goujin however, had something different in his mind.

Their trail of thoughts were broken when a small cough came from the bed.

Mansaku was immediately at Hiura's side, gently running his fingers on Hiura's blue locks.

"Its okay. Everything's okay." He whispered over and over again.

But his eyes widened when he saw Hiura's eyes flutter open.

"He's waking up," Mansaku said and that got everyone's full attention. While Haizaki, Fudou and Hiroto were leaning on the wall, they were still looking at the small midfielder.

Hiura groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, confused on what was happening. Where was he? What was those beeping sounds? Why did his body felt so heavy? His vision slowly cleared and the first thing he saw was Mansaku's worried and teary-eyed face.

"You're awake. Finally. You're awake." Mansaku said as he kissed Hiura's forehead, minding the head injury that the smaller teen got.

Awake? What does he mean by awake?

He then looked at the others. They all had the worried at the same time relieved faces as they stared at him.

He looked around the room and noticed that he was in a hospital. But why was he here? Then he remembered.

~flashback~

Hiura was trying to fight the sleepiness as they rode the bus to their town. He pouted when he heard Mansaku chuckle.

"You can take a nap, Hiura. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"No." Hiura said stubbornly "I'm not sleepy."

"Your body and eyes are telling us otherwise." Norika said, watching Hiura rub his eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepy feeling.

"Not sleepy..." Hiura said before his body finally gave in, leaning on Mansaku's shoulder and was fast asleep.

The next thing he knew, was the sound of screams from the other passengers, a sound of metal screeching and that was what woke him up.

"What's happening?" Hiura asked as he looked at Mansaku.

"I think the van beside us lost control." Mansaku said and they could only watch in horror as the bus hit the construction site.

Hiura felt some pain from his head as it hit the window beside him. He looked, it was cracked, and it had streaks of blood on it. So that means his head was bleeding.

"Mansaku...? Norika...?" Kozoumaru...?" Hiura said as he looked at Mansaku, who was unconscious. He was about to look at Kozoumaru and Norika when he heard something creak.

Looking at the window, he saw the bars sliding towards the bus. He watched in fear as the bars came crashing through the glass and the next thing he knew was the intense pain flooding through his system.

He looked and saw about three bars impaled on his body, the others were by the seats in front of him.

"Man...sa... ku...?" He looked at Mansaku, and was glad that none of it hit the taller teen.

He felt himself leaning on Mansaku's arms against his will, his eyes suddenly felt heavy, his head hurt and he suddenly felt very tired.

Was this how he was going to die? He wasn't ready yet. But maybe he would finally see his parents again.

His body soon went slack on Mansaku's body, who soon groaned as the said teen slowly woke up.

~end of flashback~

"...RA... IURA... HIURA!" Someone was shouting from the distance before Hiura looked. It was Ichihoshi.

He then noticed the way Ichihoshi sighed in relief when Hiura finally looked at him.

"Nosaka went to get a doctor. You just suddenly zoned out and stared at us blankly, but your heart rate picked up to the point it was alarming. Are you in pain?" He asked.

Hiura shook his head.

"That's a relief..." He said "We thought your body was going into shock or something."

The doctor soon came with a nurse and ushered the teens out, asking Hiura some questions which he responded to with a nod or a shake of his head.

Everything was going fine, until the doctor showed him a picture of the members of Inazuma Japan.

"I'm going to ask you the names of the members, if that's okay?" The doctor asked and smiled when he received a small nod from Hiura.

"Alright. Do you recall this person?"

"Nosaka..." Hiura soft voice was soon heard

He pointed to another player "and this?"

"Captain... Endou..."

Hiura got every member correct, and the doctor was happy about it. Until...

"How about this person?" He pointed at Asuto

Hiura looked like he was having a hard time answering. He was frowning, and was desperately trying to remember.

But nothing was coming to his mind.

"I don't know him." Hiura finally answered, but there was a hint of desperation in his voice "Why don't I remember him? Is he really part of our team?"

"Hiura, Hiura, Hiura," The doctor said softly to him, trying to sound reassuring "Its okay. It happens sometimes. Come on, calm down." He said as he looked at the nurse and nodded at her. "Just mild. Enough to calm him down. He needs his teammates right now."

The nurse nodded and injected the sedatives on Hiura's IV, and soon, Hiura was calm but looked a bit more tired.

As the nurse tended to Hiura, the doctor came out to the waiting room. "Where is Inamori Asuto?" He asked

He didn't notice how the members of Inazuma Japan tensed.

"Due to personal reasons, he couldn't visit today. Is there something wrong?" Nosaka asked

"It seems like the patient has selective amnesia." He said and saw how their eyes widened. "He remembers everyone, except Inamori Asuto. What's worst is we don't know if its permanent or not."
