Pieces of Childhood Memories
Chapter 4 – Moonlight at the Tower
"I told you not to play with Raimon," the dark shadow said. It was Sakuma.
"O-Onii-chan!" Yoko said surprised. The Raimon football club and also the managers are also surprised.
"That's your brother?" Kazemaru asked. He didn't believe it.
"Yes, why?" Yoko asked back.
"It's just that your personality is way different than his," Kazemaru answered. Everyone just nodded their heads. Yoko just sweatdropped. Then she turned back to Sakuma.
"Onii-chan, I'm just having fun playing soccer with the Raimon team," Yoko said. "And I'm now really angry because you warned me not to play with Raimon! So then... in exchange... WE MUST PLAY PILLOW FIGHT AT YOUR ROOM BEFORE WE GO TO BED! And then your room will be so messy, but I WILL NOT help you to tidy it!"
Everyone except Sakuma and Yoko fell in anime-style. "How...childish," Aki said. Haruna just nodded her head.
Sakuma sighed and took Yoko's hand. Then he dragged her out of the river bank pitch. "Let's go," he said.
"NOOOO!" Yoko shouted with a loud voice.
At home...
"Did you reveal any hissatsu techniques to Raimon?" Sakuma asked curiously.
Yoko shook her head. "Don't worry, I didn't reveal ANY hissatsu techniques to Raimon!" answered Yoko with no worries.
Sakuma sighed in relief. "Well, that's great. So what did you do?"
"I just told them about Occult, that's all..."
"Really?" Sakuma asked. "Then Occult will be very mad at you for giving spoilers to Raimon. Do you know that there's someone like a vampire there? Maybe he will suck your blood."
Yoko shivered. "No way!" she said. "The captain is my best friend, so he will stop the vampire or something. And don't get it wrong, onii-chan. Most of the captains in junior high soccer teams are my best friends, after all."
"Oh."
Yoko threw a pillow near her to Sakuma. "What's that?" Sakuma said.
"Ahahaha! It's a pillow fight!" Yoko laughed. Then she threw two pillows to Sakuma.
"H-Hey! What are you doing?" Sakuma asked.
"Don't you hear me? A pillow fight!" Yoko then took 4 pillows from her bedroom and then she threw them to Sakuma.
"Why you..." Sakuma began to get furious. Yoko just laughed and keep throwing pillows to Sakuma. Sakuma began to throw a pillow to Yoko, but-
"Dinner's ready!" called their mom. The pillow fight then stopped, and the fraternal twins came down to the dining room.
At night... 10:00 P.M.
Yoko sighed. She was very tired of playing soccer with Raimon today. "I guess I should call it a day," she said as she took off her necklace. But then she realized something.
"Where's my necklace?" she said, shocked. The necklace is something important to her. She didn't know who gave them, or why it was important to her, but she had a feeling that it was very important to her, and that she should keep it safe.
Yoko searched for the necklace everywhere in her house. In her bedroom, in her brother's bedroom, in her mother's bedroom, in the living room, in the kitchen, in the toilet, in the house's garden, EVERYWHERE. But she couldn't find it. Where did I drop it? she thought. Oh, maybe I dropped it when I was playing soccer with Raimon... I guess I must search in the river bank. But, what if someone found it and then he/she threw it to the river..?
"No," Yoko said to herself. "It will never happen."
"Oka-san, may I go to the river bank for a while? I think I dropped something important there," she said.
"Okay, but be back home soon, and be careful!" Yoko's blonde-haired and blue-eyed mother replied. She looks like Yoko.
Onii-chan's sleeping, so I guess he won't stop me to go out late at night, she thought. Then she looked at the moon. A full moon, I guess many couples are having a date right now.
She ran to the river bank, and searched everywhere. In her heart, she hoped that no one threw the necklace to the river. Then, suddenly, she saw a sparkling little object. It was her necklace! "Yeah!" Yoko said happily. Then she went back home.
In her way to her house, she saw the full moon once again. Near the full moon, there stood the Inazuma Tower. Mamoru-kun said to me that the view at the tower was very great.. she thought. Instead of going home, she went to the tower.
"Once more, once more..." Yoko heard someone panting. Mamoru-kun? What's he doing late at night?
"Mamoru-kun, what are you doing here late at night?" Yoko asked as she approached Endou.
"Training, of course!" Endou replied, as energetic as ever.
Yoko smiled. "You sure worked really hard.." she said.
"Of course I do!" Endou replied, grinning. "Oh yeah, I want to ask you something. Do you want to go to my favorite place?"
"Your... favorite... place...?" Yoko asked. She has never been to someone's favorite place before. Yet now someone's asking her if she wanted to go the his favorite place. "Okay.. but where is it?"
"Follow me!" Endou said, heading to the tower. "Climb this tower and you'll see." Yoko and Endou then climbed the tower. Yoko was afraid of heights, but after a while they finally reached the top of the tower. Yoko was amazed on the beautiful view up in the tower. "It's.. beautiful!" she said. The hard work has finally paid off.
"Yeah, I know. When I am down, I always come to this tower," Endou said. "When you're down, you should come here too!"
-Short Flashback-
"When you're down, you should come here!" person A said to person B.
-End of Flashback-
I think someone has ever said this sentence to me, but... it is not Mamoru-kun at all, its someone else... Yoko thought.
"The moon view is very pretty, isn't it?" Endou said. Yoko smiled and nodded.
"It is," she replied.
Endou stood up."Well, I better got back to training!" Endou said, as energetic as ever.
"Mamoru-kun... you should better get some rest, the match against Occult's tomorrow, right?" Yoko said as they both climb down the tower.
"Oh really? I forgot about that!"
Yoko sighed. He really is forgetful after all...
"Then I'll go home and rest! And tomorrow I'll do my best! Goodbye, Akiyama!" Endou shouted, and he went home. Yoko just smiled and waved at him.
Well, I guess I should go home too, oka-san will be worried if I don't come home soon, Yoko thought.
