Happy Thanksgiving! I was able to finish this chapter and should be done with a chapter for Blade: Draco's story, very soon. Enjoy!

My head was pounding and when I woke up it wasn't any better. Last I remembered was talking to Otou-San about a man before I passed out… next thing I knew was that I was surrounded by big kids. At first I was calm because I was still out of it, but then I went on defensive.

"Who the hell are you!" I shouted as I jumped, fist ready to knock anyone out. Years of being bullied shaped me into a force not to be recon with. As I waited for an answer, I didn't back down, which seemed to surprise the big kids, especially a blunnett boy… he looked familiar.

"Ren… it's okay. Please don't hurt anyone…" A feminine voice said. I looked up to the only adult. She looked at me with kind eyes and a small smile…

"Onee-Chan." I shouted joyfully, dropping my defensive posture. If they were with Onee-Chan then they were okay. I ran over to her tackling her legs making her laugh, the big kids were really shocked.

"Coach… what's going on?" A orange headband boy asked. Onee-Chan told that she would tell him later…

"Everyone we are going back to town. Get on the bus." She ordered them… now that I think about, Onee-Chan seems older… ooh a squirrel!

"Ren we are leaving." Onee-Chan said kindly. I ignored the squirrel, following the group of big kids on the bus, but I tripped on the last step due to oversized… wait, where did I get these clothes? And these giant shoes?

"Onee-Chan… What am I wearing?" I asked her, she froze for a second before she looked back at the group asking for something for me to change into. The group shook their heads, but one of the girls found me a smaller pair of shoes. I looked at my clothes again, the shorts were a little baggy and went passed my knees (with the socks have been rolled down since they went over my knees) and the shirt was just as baggy and was just a little bit above my knees. I realized that I was wearing a soccer uniform, the same one that the big kids were wearing… strange.

Onee-Chan had me sit by the blunnett boy, which seemed natural…. but I didn't bother talking to him or to anyone… eventually I went to sleep.

Ichirouta's P.O.V

I was seriously shock: 1) Ren was a child again 2) Ren didn't remember us 3) Coach as being REALLY kind.

She told us we were going back to town and had us loaded onto the bus, a moment later coach asked if we had a change of clothes for Ren, but we didn't have anything in his size, but Aki found him some shoes… probably Shourin's…

We arrived at the hospital where everyone was being held, Endou seemed quite excited…

Coach arranged for a doctor to check up on Ren, so everyone went to see our teammates while I went with her and Ren.

As the doctor was examining Ren (he hated it) I was asking coach questions, but she was ignoring me for the most part. I sighed as I watched.

The doctor started checking Ren's face… His hair had stayed the same for the most part, but they bang was shorter and his hair spiked out a little in the back… but the biggest change was that Ren's scar was gone and he could see out of it (He was really confused when I asked him about it.)

After his exam was finish the doctor told us he was very healthy, but there was also something strange about him, we decided not to tell him about Ren becoming a child again.

Coach sent Ren to play with the other children in the waiting room while she made sure we were all in the same room.

"Okay, so you have been asking me about Ren correct?" She asked, we nodded. She sighed.

"I met Ren a couple years ago, when I was in high school I worked at an orphanage, the same one Ren went too," She said "I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him again, in fact he seemed much more… trusting."

"What was Ren like? He told us bits and pieces…" I said, Natsumi and coach shared a look.

"Ren… never really trusted anyone. He would always shut himself out… but the only reason he trusted the kids at the last orphanage was because they… comforted him… with his fear of water," she said "Oh and he was quite the mouthy kid, his mouth was as bad as that one kid…"

That truly didn't sound like Ren… it sounds like the opposite of him. I wondered what happened between then and now that truly made that change.

"Well, we probably explain to Ren's parents the situation… Shall we go?" Coach asked, we all froze. We forgot about the parents.

"Onee-chan?" Ren asked walking into the room, "This phone is ringing, but who is Mother-Hatake?" We all panicked, I forgot Ren had a flipping cell phone!

"Um Ren! May I see that?" I asked him, he glared (Which saddened me), but handed me the phone. I answered it.

"Hello Hatake-san? Yes its me, listen we have a problem… yes we will be there soon. Bye" I hung up the phone and told coach she was waiting. Coach loaded us up on the bus and I gave directions to Ren's house (Since I'm there more often and Ren wouldn't remember.)

We went to Ren's floor knocking on the door, immediately Ren's mother and father opened the door, worry laced in their eyes.

"What's wrong with…" She was saying. I brought a finger to my lips silencing them. They invited us in, and I was shocked again. I may have been here quite often, but I was still shock on how large the apartment was, it was big enough to accommodate the team!

We had Ren go to his room (Which he was confused on) so we could talk to his parent.

"Okay so what happened." Hatake-San said, we got nervous.

"Ren was… transformed into a child again… the same child you just saw." I said

"I can see that, but how?" Masamune-San asked, he did not seem happy.

"We are not entirely sure, but we think it was the aliens…" Kidou said. His parents nodded. Hatake-san put her head in her hands.

"So… he doesn't remember anything?" She asked, we nodded, feeling sad too.

"I believe he remembers his times at the orphanage, but I don't think he remembers meeting you sir." Kidou told them, Masamune sighed.

"I know its true. He is just as mouthy from when I first met him." He said, we looked at him confused.

"Do you know when Ren-Senpai's personality changed?" Kabeyama asked. Masamune-san nodded.

"When he went to live with his grandfather… two years ago? He hated me with a passion before then: sneaking out, getting into fights, hiding things." He said, we chuckled at that. Hatake-San sighed.

"I wish I had a relationship like that, but nooo I had to put him in an orphanage." She said, we looked at her and she continued.

"I love my little boy, but when I had him… I was so scared. I wasn't ready to be a mother. Heck, I couldn't afford to keep him healthy then, so I tried to get a job. Next thing I knew it had been four years, I had a pretty stable job, but my son wasn't even in Japan anymore. I had been keeping tabs on him and sending him care packages, but since he didn't live here I couldn't get him back. So I waited, but I lost him when he moved back to Japan, they didn't mention it to me, but luckily Masamune found him." she told us. That made me extremely happy for Ren…

"So those strange packages full of homemade clothes and toys were from you?" coach asked.

"Yes, before I got the job I had today I work as a seamstress." She said smiling, we looked at her in surprise (so did Masamune-San).

"Well, I must say… They were well-made, They always seemed to make Ren happy… hmmm," Coach said, with a look of wonder "Do you have anymore? Ren's clothes are to big now."

Ren's mother nodded and went to her room. When she came back she had a couple of outfits packed and one for Ren to change into right now. The first-years took the outfit to him while we continued to chat with Ren's parents. Soon the first-years came back (they had a few scratches) and Ren was dressed into a simple black t-shirt with a blue vest over it, beige shorts and blue sneakers (I have no idea where she got the shoes)

We thanked her and we all decided that Ren should come with us since the aliens made him young again so they should know how to reverse the effects.

We loaded the bus, Ren was sitting next to me again, but it didn't seem to bother him; this time.

"So where to?" our bus driver asked. Before we could answer Touko-San's phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi… Papa! Are you okay? Where are you?… yes I will be there soon." She said hanging up afterwards. She explained that here father mysteriously appeared at his office. We decided to head there to see if he could help…

Yes another chapter finished...

Happy Thanksgiving!
