I like this chapter... I was laughing as I was writing it. Enjoy

At the next practice I was still out of it. Yesterday I found out that my parents went to the Raimon with Inazuma Eleven and they told me EVERYTHING. I only got about two hour of sleep last night so I was constantly sleeping all day.

I was watching Ichirouta and Gouenji perfect the Honoo no Kazemidori. They got it down pat, even Kageno agreed. Everyone was fired up for the tournament that was happening in a few day. We were talking about it when a black car pulled up. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at it. Batora got out of the driver's seat then he let someone out… He looked very familiar. I was listening to Someoka and Domon, Someoka said it was the chairman.

I was staring at him while he was walking towards us. He looked at me and I stared back… then I realized something.

"It's the Pervy old man!" I shouted before I could stop myself, I then clamped my hand over my mouth. Everyone looked at me and Natsumi just sighed. She knew the reason I called him that…

"Ren-Chan!" The chairman shouted. His whole personality changed as he ran towards me. I was turning to run away, but it was to late. He caught me and crushed me in a bone-crushing hug.

"You're as cute as you were six years ago." He said "I remember dressing you in dresses, but Date-Kun would always yell at me." He pouted. The team and the coach just gaped at us. I was getting frustrated so… I bit Raimon-san. He let go and I hid behind Ichirouta… damn, I just realized I was a bit shorter than him. Though not by much luckily, I will get taller (Hopefully). As I was thinking about my shortness , the chairman tried to hug me again, but Ichirouta growled at him. Yes, he growled, everyone just looked at him, including me. I looked at him and started to laugh, everyone started to laugh with me.

We took a few minutes to cool down, then we got to business. The chairman congratulated us on our win and that we got to the tournament. He then wanted to see the clubhouse. Coach said that they used the same club house as us, which everyone was surprised at (except me). The coach showed us old scribbles from the past, we even saw one from Endou's grandfather! Raimon-san began playing with the ball, he began fumbling it and kicked it in Endou's face… He began saying something about the clubhouse getting too small. The first years were cheering, but Endou declined. His speech was right, the club house was a part of us. We smiled and ran out of the clubhouse to get to the field. As we were passing the school, students began shouting at us. They were shouting good luck and all that, but they weren't as loud as Genda…

"Good Luck Ren-Sama!" Genda was shouting waving a banner. I just ignored him because something caught my attention. A boy who I was guessing was from the athletics club as talking to Ichirouta. Ichirouta said something to Endou and walked off with the boy.

I felt jealousy welled up inside me, but I urged it down. Jealousy only makes you do bad things, I know that for a fact. I began to kick the ball with Kageno. I saw Kurimatsu run off, but dismissed it. He came back with Ichirouta behind him. Inchirouta went to practice with Gouenji and Kurimatsu looked… sad.

Ichirouta and Gouenji were having a hard time shooting Honoo no Kazemidori. I was a little concern, but my thoughts were interrupted by Haruna telling me that my cell-phone was ringing. I quickly answered it.

"Ren-Ren! You need to come home immediately!" My mother shouted.

"Why?" I asked. I wasn't really concerned about what she was going right now…

"There are squirrels in the apartment! About twenty! And we…. beep" She was shouting before the line went dead. I felt my face pale. I started grabbing my stuff and was running towards the direction of home…

"Ren-senpai! Where are you going?" Kabeyama shouted noticing my haste.

"My apartment is being attack by squirrels!" I shouted back and kept running leaving the team dumbstruck.

I got home in record time and started banishing squirrels. After that was done I went to bed exhausted.

Next Morning:

I was waiting for Ichirouta at the corner, but he never came. I waited a few more minutes before I began running to school. I was running passed the riverside soccer field when I saw Ichirouta and the boy from yesterday. It seemed like they were talking… and having a heart felt moment. I felt tears in my eyes, though I didn't know why.

"Ren, what are you doing here?" I saw Endou walking up to me, soccer ball in hand. I looked at Ichirouta then back at him.

"Oh, nothing just on my way to school. See ya." I said running past him. I ran all the way to school and all the way to the classroom. It was empty, probably because most people were either at home still or morning practice. I sat at my seat and waited for people to show up… and wondering why I almost started to cry.

Later that day:

I felt… lifeless. I was so tired during practice, the squirrels really took their number on me yesterday. The first years began asking about that and I just laugh. It turns out my mother accidentally ordered squirrels instead of fake fur. They nearly destroyed the apartment by the time I got there, but I easily rounded them up and released them into a park. Everyone laughed and began practice. When I saw Ichirouta walking towards me I quickly grabbed Endou telling him to practice with me. I kept my distance with Ichirouta, who started to practice with Gouenji.

I was left without a partner when Endou, Aki and Natsumi left. Ichirouta came up to me and grabbed me before I could escape. He said that he needed to talk to me and pulled me towards some trees, away from everyone.

"Okay, what's up? Why do you keep avoiding me?" He said. I tried not looking him in the eye and was trying to back away, but he held a firm grip on my wrist.

"I wasn't avoiding you." I lied. I was totally avoiding him.

"Is it because I left without you? If it is then I am really sorry… I have a lot on my mind." He told me. I shook my head.

"It's because…. I WAS JEALOUS OF THAT BOY!" I shouted. I covered my mouth with my free hand. Ichirouta just gaped at me. I stared at the ground thinking that he was going to laugh at me for thinking that. I felt arms wrap around me, I looked to see Ichirouta smiling at me.

"There is nothing going on between Miyasaka and I. He is just a kohai from the athletics club." He told me. I started blushing at my mistake and Ichirouta was smiling.

"Ichirouta, can you let go? We need to get back to practice…" I trailed off. I was blushing even harder now. Ichirouta was blushing now and he quickly let go. We walked back to the team (Who didn't notice our absence) and we began passing with each other.

The next day: the stadium

We were waiting for our turn to go out. I was super excited and I knew the team was too. We were called out. The guy gave us a nice commentary and the crowds were cheering… though not as loud as my fan clubs from the middle school and high school. Next was Teikoku and then… Zeus Academy? I never heard of their school and they didn't even bothered to come! I wanted to know who they were! Oh well because the Nationals were here!

Okay the last bit was rush, but fluffy moment! ^/^
