Rain: Welcome to eleventh chapter of Faster than a Bullet! So technically, this will be the last request I'll be making before school starts. I'll be accepting requests again later on, though that's still in later months during break.

So today's chapter involves being stalked by an overprotective relative. I bet most of us have those XDD

Before we start, I'd like to say that I tried to add humor… OTL

Disclaimer: Rain does not own Inazuma Eleven. If she did, she'll most probably cause Armageddon in the anime… The OC featured in this chapter belongs to hetainazumapony.

A walk around Inazuma Town is one way to chill after having to go through a lot of tests and after having to finish a mountain of projects. Well, at least it's all over now and everyone can focus on whatever they please or spend time with friends or family. Speaking of which…

Yuuko couldn't believe her luck today; supposedly the green-haired girl in twin tails was sauntering about by herself until she encounters both Gouenji and his ever so adorable little sister, Yuuka taking a stroll as well. With that, eventually they ended taking a walk all together. All of this seemed like some crazy dream to the girl.

Her thoughts drifted back to the real world as she saw Gouenji glancing at her, "Anywhere you'd like to go?" He asked.

She shrugged as blushed slightly, "Nah, I'm alright. Say, what about we let Yuuka-chan decide?"

Upon hearing this, the flame striker smiled a bit as Yuuka cheered. They didn't even notice the rustle of a bush that was really nearby them as they took their leave. I bet you guys are thinking it could have been the wind but no, there was no breeze.

Midorikawa Ryuuji was never the type to spy or stalk anyone. Oh wait, wasn't he spying on Endou when he was with Fuyuka and… erm… Anyways, he wasn't really the nosy type of human. But at times like these, he just had to keep an eye on his cousin. Yuuko was quite a wild child since that she sometimes leads herself into situations that could cause her harm; Midorikawa made sure to keep her safe from anything. That included getting a boyfriend or even hanging with a guy as well when he's not around…

Sure it sounds like he's a good relative and all but sometimes, his paranoia can get out of hand. She was hanging out with Gouenji! Everyone knows that the guy wasn't those types to take advantage of girls yet that didn't change the former captain of Gemini Storm to leave them alone.

The green tea head stood up from the bush he was hiding in and sighed. Why couldn't they just stay at one place for a while?

"What are you doing?" He heard a voice ask from behind.

He turned to see a certain brunette who was supposed to be at Hokkaido to see her parents and a certain legendary striker.

Midorikawa blinked, "Umeki? Shouldn't you be at…?"

"Oh, I came back early since Shirou told me to not worry about him too much." She grinned, "So I saw you stalking your own cousin and Gouenji… Shouldn't you leave them be?"

"Leave them be? God knows she might not be able to go home or… something!"

Umeki sweat dropped; never has she seen this side of Midorikawa before. Nonetheless it was quite amusing to see. She then sighed and began to walk off, most probably heading back to her place.

As they arrived at the playground, Yuuka ran up to a bunch of children around her age. Yuuko deduced that they must be her classmates. A few other adults were around as well; they seemed to be looking at her and Gouenji while smiling at them. Okay, a bit strange but everyone's outlandish in their own little way, correct?

For a while, they simply watched Yuuka enjoy herself until Kazemaru approached them.

The teal-haired teen exclaimed, "About time!"

"Eh?" Yuuko cocked her head, "Kazemaru, what are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You guys are finally dating, right?"

The girl blinked multiple times as her cheeks began to heat up into a shade of dark red; her feelings for him have been quite conflicting these past months. As for Gouenji, he simply coughed, shocked with what his teammate had just said. That's when Kazemaru could've sworn he saw the white-haired teen blushing. Wow… that's new.

Yuuko shook her head, "Your assumption's all wrong, REALLY wrong. How is walking to the park make me and Gouenji seem like we're dating?"

Kazemaru was rubbing the back of his neck, "Well, er… you two together at the park, by each other's sides, people staring and… Never mind. Forget everything I said."

"…Did you catch something from Rika?" Gouenji sweat dropped.

And all thanks to Kazemaru's small mistake the air around the two began to tense. What made things worse was some people also mistook them as a couple! As they began to walk to the riverbank, Yuuka couldn't help but wonder what happened. Did they fight while she was playing with her friends? Or was she simply exaggerating? They were teens after all, kind of like grown-ups but a bit more complex than them.

Meanwhile, Midorikawa was following them at decent distance, wondering what in the world was going on. Eventually Gouenji decided to break the silence.

"Hey Yuuko," He started looking at her green eyes, "Feeling okay?"

A blush crept on the said girl's cheeks. Dark met emerald. She couldn't speak a word due to how he was staring. Yuuka simply watched; she was intrigued with what's happening. Just when Gouenji was about to cup Yuuko's chin, Midorikawa came running towards them like a mad bull.

"What's going on here?" He asked frantically, glaring at his fellow teammate.

Gouenji replied oh so smoothly, "I could've sworn I saw something on Yuuko's face."

The green-haired girl and Yuuka looked at the Flame Striker, "There was?"

"Oh, my mistake, maybe I should get my eyes checked. …So Midorikawa, what are you doing here?"

"Ah! Well, I'm pretty much here to pick Yuuko up. It's getting pretty late." He said, immediately grabbing his cousin, "See you in practice, Gouenji!"

Yuuka waved farewell as Yuuko was absentmindedly being dragged. All she could think of was what could've happened if they weren't interrupted by her overprotective cousin… Oh well.

Gouenji chuckled slightly as he gestured Yuuka that it was time to head back home. Today was quite a day; he actually didn't mind being called an item with Yuuko. He then closed his eyes and smirked to himself. Maybe he can try this again next time.

I dreamt I was near you, laughing
Smiling at me, as I gazed at you outside the window
Your dream...'
