Or maybe… even something else. Based on Hungry Heart.

Prologue
"Touya! Touya!" a little girl with honey brown hair and bright green eyes squealed as she ran to catch up with her big brother.
A slightly older boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes turns around and stares down at the little girl.
"Sakura, you know you can't play soccer." He reminded her.
"Why not?" she pouted.
"You're heart just won't allow it. You don't want what happened to mom to happen to you do you?" he asked her, his eyes were downcast.
"Mom? I don't remember her." The little girl pouted even more.
"One day you'll understand Sakura. One day." The boy shook his head.
"Can I play with you this once? Please, please?" she begged.
"Oh, alright. I'll pass you the ball then you just kick it in the net. You got it? Yuki can be goal keeper for you. Right Yuki?"
A young lad, the same age as Touya suddenly appeared. He had grayish hair and nice dark eyes.
The young lad smiled.
"Yay! Yuki gets to block my shots! I'll do my best!" the little girl started jumping up and down.
And the little practice started.
Touya put up his hand to see if Sakura and Yuki were ready. They both nodded and he started dribbling the ball towards the goal. He did flips, turns and even went back a couple of times to make sure he did the move right. He then passed to Sakura who was able to get the pass.
"Alright Yuki! Get ready!" she shouted at the young lad.
She kicked it with all her might.
The young lad was surprised. It looked to be a really powerful kick.
Suddenly, Yuki disappeared. So did Touya. The little girl was suddenly in the place of a goal keeper. The ball was going straight at her. A man stood a fair distance from the goal… she couldn't make him out. She struggled to try to imagine where the ball would go. She jumped to her left. Suddenly, it swerved right! She made it in time to use her feet like a spring and jumped to the right this time.
Her timing was off! It was about to fly right to her face.
RING! RING!
"Sakura! Sakura! Yo Kaijuu! Get up!" a familiar deep voice started shaking her awake.
"Hoe!" she sat up alright… after her brother spilled freezing water all over her!
"Hahaha! The Kaijuu's weakness is water! Hahaha!"
The now sixteen year old girl got up.
She put on her soccer spikes.
"Sakura no Kaijuu!" she shouted and slammed it down to her, thankfully shoed, foot of her brother.
"Argh! You know what could have happened if I wasn't wearing my leather shoes!"
"You would have been kicked off the soccer team, lost your scholarship and lost the will to live." The young girl replied in a monotone as she stuck her tongue at him after.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm saying it too much again, aren't i?" he said shaking his head.
She nodded.
"I'm just really worried about this year Sakura. Collegiate Soccer is a lot harder than High School Soccer. And since I'm a freshman and all, it'll be hard for me to secure a starting position." He told his sister his worries.
"Don't worry Touya! You are the best midfielder in the region!" she smiled confidently.
"Wait. You're starting High School this year too, aren't you?" he asked.
She nodded and smiled.
"What school are you going to? I know a few girls sports schools which are really good with their training. You can learn a lot from them. Like Minikawa's school for girls. They have an awesome midfielder who could teach you how to strike properly." He laughed.
Usually she would get mad by his comment but she just looked down.
"I… I got recruited." She whispered.
But her brother heard her.
"Really? That's great! What school? Minikawa's?"
She shook her head.
"Matoriga's." she whispered.
"Matoriga's! That's an all boys school! How did you get recruited!" he shouted.
She waited patiently for him to calm down a bit.
"Remember when you were practicing for the championship game with Yuki and the other guys but Limokawa got injured and you couldn't practice with out a striker? You asked me to play right?"
He nodded.
"Well, turns out, there was a scout watching. He saw me while I was wearing a baseball cap that put up my hair. He didn't notice I was a girl. He asked me what year I was and when I told him I was only elementary, he told he could get me into Matoriga. I got the acceptance letter yesterday." She told him holding up a thick envelope.
He read through the packets and the information pamphlets.
He whistled.
"This is a very prestigious soccer school. I mean, really. Good thing their not in this region or our buts would get kicked."
"I know. They're ranked two in country. After Hirimaya College."
"Wait… that's my college!"
"I know. Didn't you notice the similarity of the name?"
She thought she heard a very inaudible 'no' from her brother but dismissed it.
"What should I do?"
She waited for his answer in bated breath.
"Go."
So? How is it! Pls Review! arigato gozaimasu!
