Sorry for make you guys who been waiting for the new chap. You can see, after MRISA end, I want to cool my mind for a while by write some one-shot. Now I think I regain back my energy to continue this. One more thing is that, summer vacation will come but worse, I have to go to a summer school in Singapore for 1 month. I wonder if I can have time to upload fanfic
Chapter 24: Bad omen
"Long time no see, Yu…..no, Mizuhara" he says happily like a sadist
"W…..What are you doing here?" my hands tremble
"Oya, you are tremble, don't you" I flinch and freeze but try not to show it. I breathe quietly and regain my calm
"Stop says stupid things. I don't have time for your useless conversation" I reply and glare at him in anger. He doesn't flinch and returns with a cold smirk
"Useless…..Yeah, for you is useless. Don't tell me you have forget about it…..you betrayal" His smirks gone. This time he looks at me a scary glare full of hatred. I couldn't talk back because I know I don't have right to
"Betrayal, huh?" I sigh sadly and look at the ground "You're right! I know, for you guys, I am no different from a betrayal. That why…..I have nothing to complain about that"
"Are you trying to give excuses now?" he grumbles, looks likes he gets angry because of what I said
"Don't get misunderstand" I look up at him "I don't have any excuses. I want to you to know this. I have never even once forgiven myself ever since that day"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW, WHITE RABBIT" I flinch when he shouts but I also start to piss off when he calls me by that name
"You have never forgiven yourself ever since that day? It makes me laughs" He laughs and gets closer to me, gives a sadistic smile. I swallow my salvia nervously as a sweat down from my head
"You really have change. You are different the White Rabbit that I used to know"
"Wh…..What did you just said?" I snap
"Isn't that true? When I saw you played with those guys from Raimon, you looked different, like another person. Before, you are the same with us Zodiac, the cold and solitude players that followed other people order in order to control our power. At that time, when you joined and completed the 12 constellation, I thought that Zodiac can activate. Until, your brother ruined everything, he really a nuisance"
"Then whose fault that he had nearly lost his life?" I snap out loud at him. Hear him talks bad about Yukio really piss me off. This is the reason why I couldn't forgive that person; Kodoku doesn't flinch at it and even smirks
"That what he got as a punishment. Thanks to him, during the test, you lost your power and were disband from Zodiac. Ever since that time, I hated you more than anyone. Because of your betrayal and those stupid words, the plan was failed. I couldn't expect that you ran away to other place"
After he finishes, me face paler and my heart even race faster. I think I can't even feel my body at all, like all the bones inside my body have gone. I can feel that I going to fall down at any moment. Not to mention, those bad memories once again appear in my head, the pain keep increasing. I really can't take this
"Whatever you say, I don't have any hatred toward you guys but I will never forgive that person. The one who had nearly took away Yukio's lives" I glare at him, he giggles and walks closer to me
"Remember this, the betrayal of Zodiac, Mizuhara Yukie a.k.a White Rabbit. On this match, whether Raimon or Arakumo win, the next opponent will be them….." a chill running down my spine, my hands, feet and body are freezing, I can't move. What I know is that Kodoku moves his face to my ear and whispers
"In addition, they also have the same thoughts as us. What they want to crush is not Raimon…..but you. The one who betrayed our trust and their trust" he continues "I really looking forward for the second-half" He moves his head back and passes through me with final words
"Don't get over burst or else…..it will activate"
He leaves, now only me standing here. After a while, I fall on the ground. I hold both of my shoulder; I can feel they are trembling. I can even hear the air come out from my mouth as I breathing. I don't want to admit it but…..I scare
"What is this? His sight and aura, they were the same but…..it felt so different. Kodoku, what Aoi-san said to me was right. They finally make their move and their first target is me"
I try to stand up although I can't control my balance and cannot stand up completely. Was I too scared of Kodoku?
"Well…..I have to go back or else…..I will get scold or annoy by Tsurugi-kun" I smile slightly and go back to where everyone assemble. Look like I can stand up normally now but…..that feeling still stuck inside
"I'm back" I got in and act normally as always
"You're back, Mizuhara" Hayami says
"So, what is the plan for the second-half?" I ask
"On the second half, Kageyama will replace Kurama-kun's since….." he points to Kurama who looks tired and exhausts as he drinks the water
"I see…..puts Hikaru who have the full stamina since Kurama lose quite a lot of stamina thanks to the quicksand of Desert Stadium"
"And one more things….." Hayami continues
"Huh?"
"About Tenma-kun…..I think your words have affect him quite a lot" he whispers quietly on my ears and points to where Tenma is. He stands on a corner and looks pretty pale, not talks to anyone
"He still hasn't realize yet, that baka"
I turn my eyes to other direction which is to Tsurugi-kun. He also stands on a corner and his eyes to directly to Tenma with a quite scary glare. I sigh, this maybe the first time we have the same thinking for one person. I ignore Hayami and go to his side
"Tenma still have nothing change, right?" I say, he agrees with a nod. Then he suddenly stares at me curiously
"Wh…..What are you doing?" I ask
"You look pretty pale, what happen to you?"
That when it hit me, how can he sees through me. I have try act so no one realize but why of all people, it has to be this jerk? He is the last person; I can sure that he will ask me a question. If I deny, he will take a suspicious. Oh my god, why my life have to be so miserable with him?
"No…..Nothing…..I just nervous about what will happen on second-half" I put my hands on my head, try to act like a stupid dull, hope that it gonna work or else…..He still staring at me but turns to other direction after that
"Forget it, I know you are lying"
"Giku"
"But don't forget, after the match end, I want to have a talk with you. Don't think of any excuse to run away"
"O…..Okay"
"Everyone, assemble. It nearly time for second-half" Kidou kantoku calls everyone. We start to get out and head to the field. I am walking next to Tenma; I just don't know when he will realize his mistake. Another problem is Tsurugi-kun, why he wants to have a talk with me?
"Don't tell me…..he already knew about my existence…..No way, there no way that gonna happen? Even he was a former SEED of Fifth Sector, there no way he knew about it. Zodiac's existence was kept as top secret, no one in Fifth Sector knew about it other than Ishido-san, Sengujii and that person. I am so stupid, how can I imagine such a ridiculous thing? I shouldn't thinking so much about that" I smirk on myself. Yep, there no way he knows about it. Maybe he wants to talk to me to black mail me again. If it happens, I may just have to accept it
We go back to the stadium. When we come out, we get into our position. Arakumo have no change with their lineup. I could see that Amemiya look much better than in first-half
"I can relieve for now as long as he doesn't do any reckless moves"
The whistle blows, the kicks off start off with Arakumo. The ball is in Neguchi's possession. Tsurugi-kun quickly steals it and passes to Hikaru. He hurriedly passes through Mazumi and Kida. Now he makes a centering to Tsurugi-kun but Amemiya makes a cut by jumps
Amemiya heads to Raimon side, Tenma finally goes up to stop him but I could notices he still wavering. Tenma keeps charging to stop Amemiya but it futile. This time Amemiya looks stronger than when he played on first-half. This time, they kick the ball which creates a clash of power. Although when they ball bounces off, it goes to Amemiya's side. He changes his moves, passes the ball to Neguchi as Tenma startles
"There is no choice" I run back to defense line because I suddenly have a bad feeling, I am not sure but my mind tells me that I have to do it
As I running, Tenma tries to stop Amemiya who receives the ball from Neguchi although he completely in Amemiya's pace. I snap at Tenma again, he completely doesn't give all out at all. Back to Amemiya, he passes through Amagi-san, Kurumada-san, Kirino and Kariya again. He finally gets to the goal
"GOSEI SHIN TITANIAS" Shinsuke unleashes his keshin as Amemiya kicks the ball to the right. I start to feel weird of what he just did
"Why? Sushine Force doesn't work, even if he makes a normal shoot it will be the same thing…..DON'T TELL ME"
"SHINSUKE? DON'T USE HISASSTU TECHNIQUE" I shout for him to stop
The ball lands on the ground and it bounces up to the other way which is where Amemiya jumps. He kicks it and Shinsuke doesn't have time to react
"I won't let that happen" I jump in front of the ball and kick it. I fail to stop it and fall on the ground, but the ball did slightly touch my feet. The power and speed must be decrease
"Shinsuke" I call him, he catches it with no problem. All of us sigh in relief that is so dangerous. If the ball gets in the goal, Arakumo will lead again. Amemiya looks disappoint a bit but then he smirks, I grit my teeth. Then I go to where Shinsuke stands
"Are you okay, Shinsuke?"
"Yeah…..I am okay. Thank you for save" He replies and then Kariya, Kirino, Amagi-san, Kurumada-san and Shindou come to us
"Mizuhara, you did a good job" Kirino says
"Thank you, but…..they still have something in their sleeve" I turn my eyes to Arakumo Gakuen
"Yeah. Amemiya, as expect as a genius player that comes only every decade" Shindou looks at Amemiya with a worries eye
"At that time, he knew that Shinsuke will unleash keshin so he used that timing to take the chance to score" Kirino explains
"That guy really a big burden" Kariya says on his usual sadist tone
I am thinking about what we should do to score until I notice Amemiya saying something to Tenma and goes back to his position. Tenma keep looking at him
"Tenma, what wrong with him?"
I confuse at first, but then, I see Tenma is smiling and a zephyr blowing his hair up. I see, so that how it is
"He finally realizes it. It start to get interesting now" I sigh and smile
"Another wind…..is blowing" I whisper
The whistle blows, the match continue with Raimon's goal kick. Shinsuke throws the ball and kicks it to me. Then I pass it to Shindou. He is having trouble with Arakumo because they don't have any opening, not to mention Amemiya is at the center
"CAPTAIN, GIVE THE BALL TO ME" all of us turn our attention to Tenma who is running to Arakumo's side. Some of us think that is not a good idea, attack by himself into that formation
"Shindou, trust Matsukaze" Tsurugi-kun runs next to Shindou and tell him to pass the ball to Tenma
"Tsurugi-kun….." I look over to Tenma. His eye full of confidence, with no hesitates
"Shindou, it will be okay" I yell at him loudly so he could hear me "I believe Tenma can do it" Shindou looks at Tenma's eyes, look like he also notice it. Then, he makes a long passes to Tenma and it gets into his possession
He dribbles to their side. To our surprise, he passes through every person, with an incredible speed and technique. Now he is on defense line
"SOYOKAZE STEP" he uses his hisasstu technique and passes through the defenders. Everyone are surprising, he breaks through that formation and even defense line just with dribble. Even I couldn't believe it, what I could do is stun and startle
"Amazing, his dribble…..has getting even better than when I met him" I grin happily, all of us have the same thoughts on what Tenma just showed. There only leave one person, Amemiya who is following Tenma. He stands in his way
"TAIYOU SHIN APOLLO" Amemiya unleashes his keshin
"He still has power to release keshin but….."
Back to Tenma, he doesn't look waver but…..confidence. Then suddenly, I feel a very strong aura from his back
"This aura…..his keshin but…..it even stronger" I whisper. Tenma charges to Taiyou as he unleashes his keshin but…..a different one
"MAJIN PEGASUS ARC" all of us includes Amemiya surprise and startle before his keshin. Tenma jumps or is he flies…..he passes through Amemiya and makes a shoot to Sata and unleashes his keshin once again
"GIGANTIC BOMB" he uses his keshin's hisasstu but it fails once more time and scores the goal. It gives us a point and over all, we lead
"YES!" Tenma shouts happily as we all come congratulate him. Hikaru and Shinsuke give him a hug which makes him falls down
"But…..that was awesome, Tenma" I hold his right hand and pull him up from the ground "Your passion for soccer…..that maybe the reason why I remembered the feeling that I had forgot" I whisper
"Huh, Mizuhara-senpai, you just said something, right?" he asks
"Nothing" I tap my hand on his shoulder and reply with a smile
"With this momentum, we can win" Hikaru says happily and Shinsuke nods. Though, I am not sure if it true. I turn to Arakumo's side; they are assembling together and having a talk
"Amemiya had unleashed keshin many times, his stamina must be heavily drains down so the chance he uses keshin one more chance is pretty small but he is a risk taker type so he maybe will use it one more time"
"What wrong, Mizuhara? You seem to be on deep thought" I snap out of my thought when Shindou calls me
"Nothing, I am thinking right now"
"Thinking?"
"Yeah, Amemiya been used his keshin for the whole time since the first-half. There no way his body can take it long. I wonder if Arakumo will let he uses keshin one more time or…..they think of a new strategy" I explain to him and he agrees to what I said
"Maybe you right. I also think the same thing because if you use keshin too much, your body stamina will drain out faster than usual" Shindou says as he putting his thumb on his chin and thinks
"Even if Amemiya doesn't use his keshin, we can't put our guard down, but….."
"You are so naive if you keep thinking like that"
My heart rushes and my body trembles again. Just earlier, I heard a voice comes in my mind when I was thinking
"Who" I turn back and to other directions but…..there is nothing until I notice Kodoku is standing on the audience's seat and he is looking at me with a smirk. I glare at him in anger
"What wrong, Mizuhara?" Shinsou who stands behind asks worriedly
"Ah…..there is nothing. The match will resume with our kickoff, right? I will go back to my position" I hurriedly run back to my position. Shindou's a worrywart type especially to his teammate, sorry Shindou. I know that if I continue to stay there, I know I will get in trouble with him again like last time. He got angry at me and Tsurugi-kun although I still don't know the reason yet. It already an old story so I should not care about. What makes me worry right now is Kodoku
"That guy, he uses his power, again" I turn my eyes to where Kodoku is standing, he still looks at me with the same expression. It looks annoys that I want to slap him right now but I try to control my emotion by slapping both my cheeks
"NoNoNoNo" I shake my head "It not times to care about other things. What I must focus now is the match. I can't think of anything" I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I feel much better now
"Okay, let see what they will do next" I whisper. Few minutes later, the whistle blows and the match resume with our kickoff
Finally, I somehow managed to finish this chap. The next one will be You're My First Love, I think I can't update actively like usual but I will try my best to do it. Remember one thing is that, I will always update new chap on Friday. If not then it will be Saturday and Sunday
