Hey guys! Sorry I've been absent for so long! I got home from the French trip completely worn out and a tone of homework and getting back into the school routine to do. When I finally got over all of that I had my party on Saturday and then on Sunday we went shopping to spend birthday money and then on Monday it was my actual birthday! It was great and I got some really nice prezzies including a £200 camera and a graphic tablet! So yea If you want to check out some pictures I've done and to get a better description of some of the characters check out my DeviantArt account (link is in my profile or just search fireblizzardforever in the search bar).

One more thing. Unfortunately this story will be ending soon :'( I was planning to continue it for longer but I really want to move on to another story but I promised myself that I would only do 2 stories at a time as it would just get complicated. It was ether dropping the story or ending it quicker than expected but don't worry there are still a few more chapters to go!

Chapter 10: The first and final match

I had wished I hadn't checked my calendar that day. It was the day of the big match today which was exciting and all but it had also been exactly one month since Pandora had given that box to me. I had tried opening it that morning but it was still shut tight as the day I was given it. I had started to believe that this was all a trick and that I had just been handed a impossible to open box to keep me distracted from everything else. I hated to admit it but if that was her plan, it was working like a charm. I used my full strength but still nothing.

"Ahhh stupid box!" I said throwing it agenised the wall and allowing it to drop into the corner of the room.

I grabbed the rest of my things before meeting Fubuki at the bottom of the stairs.

"Excited for the big match today Aura-chan?" He beamed

"I'm a bit nervous…"

"Why? You madly talented so you will have no problem!"

"Yea but I don't have a single Hissatsu technique unlike you guys…"

"You'll be fine! You don't need a Hissatsu to win a match!"

"Thanks Fubuki-kun…"

We walked out the door and raced each other to the main school building before hurrying to lessons.

After school

To be honest I don't think I paid the slightest bit of attention in any of my classes! I was far too excited about the match but scared at the same time. This would be my first match…Ever! Yeah its true I've never been in a proper soccer match. I've had mini matches or games with my dad and big brother but nothing like this so I was having an avalanche inside of me. What if I completely messed up? What if it is my fault that we lose this match?

"Aura!"

"Huh?!"

I had just noticed that Fubuki-kun was standing in front of me waving his had in front of my eyes.

"What's wrong you had completely spaced out?"

"Huh oh sorry Fubuki-kun I was just thinking about stuff no biggie!"

"You sure? You can talk to me anytime you need to you know?"

"Thanks Fubuki-kun I'll keep that in mind"

So me and Fubuki quickly rushed down to the changing rooms and got changed before meeting everyone on the pitch. Everyone seemed really excited which was more than I could say about myself. I really wished I had completed my Hissatsu now…

"Hey Aura!"

Fubuki was lightly punching me on my arm. I looked to find that this time it was Atsuya.

"Atsuya?"

"You're not still worried about that whole Hissatsu thing are you?"

"W-Well yea…"

"Look a lot of people perfect their Hissatsu's while playing a match so don't get down if you haven't got it yet. You might just finish it in this match"

He gave me a cheeky grin before rustling my hair and checking on everyone else.

It was strange, the first time I saw Atsuya I was terrified of him, but now… It's like he's a completely different person; less vicious and menacing, as if he was my brother. It's like he's gone from raging tiger to cute kitten on your doorstep.

I looked up again to see a large group of people walking towards the pitch. I had never seen these people before and… hey… there wearing soccer kits!? Is this the anonymous team we are playing agenised? I had a closer look to reveal that the entire team was made up of girls! Not a single boy!

They came up to our team and gave us a warm greeting. In front was their captain; a young girl in her early teens like us with short spiked out vibrant red hair and lilac eyes. Her skin was rather pale but she gave off one of those auras that showed she was a nice person. She stuck her hand out to Fubuki.

"Hey, your team captain Fubuki Shirou right?"

"Uh yea, who are you?" He said in his politest tone (He was still in Atsuya mode)

"Oh, yes, my name is Aydan; I'm team captain of this team, nice to meet you" She said shaking Fubuki's hand.

I decided that I wanted to be involved in this conversation which was really unlike me.

"Um what is your team called?" I asked

Aydan turned her attention towards me and smiled "What's your name?"

"Um Aurora"

"Hi Aurora it's nice to meet you. Our team is called Kokoro" (Translates into Heart)

I then decided to get a good look at all the faces and check there auras. Everyone seemed friendly but there were a few characters that stuck out. The main one was one that I had previously seen. A blue mixed with orange and white.

"Pandora?" I said

All the team mates stood aside revealing who I was looking at.

"Oh hey Aura!" She said giggling "Nice to see you again!"

The referee then came over asking us to take our positions ready for the match. I quickly ran over to Pandora

"Hey what was with that box?"

"Huh oh that, look I'll tell you after the match kay?"

I didn't have much choice so I agreed and took my position as a forward.

The whistle swiftly blew and the match began.

We had centre pass and it was me taking it. I passed to Fubuki and he began to run up but before he had taken to steps Aydan had swiftly stolen the ball of Fubuki and was running up the pitch at an incredible speed.

"W-What?!" exclaimed Fubuki as he was frozen in place

"Fubuki-kun don't stop!" I shouted chasing after the ball but it was no use. Aydan and another girl with long blonde hair had already made it up to the goal line. Aydan took her shot. I was expecting an amazing Hissatsu but she chose a normal shot. What was she playing at? But I soon understood. This shot was unlike any shot I had ever seen; it was as quick as the wind and had as much power as a Hissatsu maybe even more. Our goalie quickly used his Hissatsu but CRASH! The shot had broken straight through it and into the back of the net! We were all stunned. How could a shot be that powerful?! And believe me, it didn't get any better. Kokoro kept getting goal after goal and nothing stopped them. We did get a few shots by Fubuki's Eternal Blizzard and me just having a shot be the goal keeper was able to stop it with just one hand! By the end of the first half we were losing 10-0

"Why isn't anything working?!" shouted Fubuki seriously agitated.

Everyone was down and sweating like mad. I looked over at the other team and none of them even had a droplet of sweat on them, as if this was a warm up. From what I had seen on the TV some of these watches could get a bit rough with some foul playing but this team had no intention of these methods as none of our team was injured apart from the goalie with those intense shots. Some of their team had been looking at us but by us I mean me. I don't know why but all their attention was on me.

We got the call and set back onto the pitch. This was it; I knew this would all end terribly wrong…

We were about ten minutes into the second half and Kokoro had already scored five more goals and all of Hakuren looked as if they would collapse any second out of tiredness. I saw Ayden nodding to a couple of her team mates as she walked up to the centre. This time she didn't go any further. Instead she jumped into the air and started pulling off some amazing moves. I knew what was coming; a Hissatsu!

"Ryuusei Blade!" She shouted and shot the ball with all her might. It was an incredible shot and would beat down out worn out goalie easily. This is when I decided. That shot wasn't getting in if it killed me to stop it! Everyone had worked so hard to get this far and even though I was as worn out as they were I would stop that shot. I ran up to the ball getting shot at goal and stopped a little ahead of it. Quickly did all the movements I had done in my Hissatsu training and jumped up into the air with my leg battling the ball. It was as if a thousand needles were being injected into my whole body but I wasn't giving up! I kept up the pressure and with a final push of strength…! All that shot power had gone! I could hear the gasps of people on the pitch and off it but there was more to come! My body felt as if it was reacting on its own and I did some multiple spins and other stuff before getting my powered up leg swarming with snow and ice more than ever before and shouted…

"Hokkaido Blizzard!"

Those were the first words that had come into my mind and I shot the ball full pelt at the opposition's goal. It went flying past each player and the goalie was forced into a Hissatsu but it still broke through! Everything fell silent before every Hakuren player bounced into a massive cheer and ran over to me hugging and congratulating me. I was even more worn out then before but I was going to celebrate this moment just as everyone else! I had done it; my very on Hissatsu!

We then heard the whistle blow.

"Attention! Kokoro have just announced that they are withdrawing from the match which makes Hakuren the winners!"

Everyone start clapping a screaming for joy! This was the best feeling ever! My first match and I scored the winning goal!

I then remembered something.

"Pandora!"

I raced over to her followed by Fubuki

"You said you would explain things to me"

"Oh yea, well I guess it's time…"

All of team Kokoro joined Pandora and faced me.

"Aura do you remember how you found yourself in Hokkaido?"

"Um yea I was in the forest and there was some kind of portal and I was pushed in"

"Well the portal was opened by us and the one who pushed you in… was me"

All this felt as if it had just been shot into my brain

"W-What?! Why would you do that?!"

"You said you wished you could show the true you, we wanted you to find the inner you so we decided to send you to this world"

"S-So this is another world?"

"Yes. Do you still have that box?"

"Umm yea but it's at home…"

Pandora then held out her hand and the box appeared. She handed it to me.

"Aura you now have a choice. You can stay in this world and live out your life forever with these people, or you can return to your world with your family and friends."

"R-Really, I get a choice?"

"Yea but bear in mind that whichever you choose you will not be able to return to the other world, so if you stay here you can never return to your world and vice versa"

"Never?"

"Unfortunately yes so you need to think carefully about this"

This was all I big shock to me but I needed to choose. Do I stay here with Fubuki and all my new friends in this world or do I return to my world with my family and old friends with my new knowledge and experiences…

What should I do?!

Mwahaha cliff hanger! But yea I have decided that there will be multiple alternate endings! I hope you get at least one that you are hoping for! Anyway I hope you enjoyed the story and I hope you continue to read my stuff after this is gone (I think you guys will enjoy the next series of stories I have planned ;)) Please review and favourite Arigato ;)
