Hey I'm back :) Sorry for the late update, I had band concerts, pepband and many other things... so I made this chapter pretty long ( I think). I hope you enjoy!
Recap: "Hmm?" Fubuki questioned… a little nervous since Ren was acting so shy…
"Are you really Shirou? Are you sure you are not… Atsuya?"
Everyone's eyes widen at the question, asking themselves on why Ren would ask such a question.
"What are you saying Ren? I am Shirou" Fubuki said defensively. Ren just shrugged walking back to the school; no one realized that he was thinking about it.
I only know one person who uses that Hissatsu
The next day Ren was watching the team practice with Shirou, who was a forward… and Ren wasn't happy. Ren could only sigh as he watch Shirou steal the ball from Ichirouta, but soon felt the shift in aura… belonging to Shirou.
There it is again. Ren thought as he watched Shirou become a different person… people noticed, but they thought he was just being a ball hog. Ren could sigh as he got off the bench, walking off towards the school building.
"Ren where are you going?" Onee-chan asked me.
"I'm bored." he answered curtly, not even bothering to look at her. He stalked away before she could say anything else; not knowing why he was so angry. Ren had been feeling this… anger since he met those guys from Raimon… sure they had had some fun times, but he felt as if they are hiding stuff from him.
As Ren neared the school building, he made his way towards the side where he had hid before, taking a seat on the snowy ground.
"Ahh… its cold" He muttered under his breath, pulling his thin coat closer. Ren had to borrow a coat from one of the Hakuren kids because he was unprepared… which was quite odd for him, since he was usually the one who had to remind Suzuno to grab his jacket all the time; never Haruna, the poor kid hated the cold.
"I wonder how they are…" Ren muttered to himself as he pulled the necklace from beneath his jacket, looking at the purple stone. Ren felt weird when he looked at the stone, like it was part of his problems.
"Can you tell me what's wrong with me?" He asked the inanimate object.
"Oi! Ren, come on!" Ren looked up to see Kazemaru shouting and waving at him.
"Ah! Coming!" He shouted back as he jumped up and started running towards Kazemaru, missing the slight glow of the stone.
"Where are we going?" Ren asked as he caught up with Kazemaru and the others.
"Don't know, all Fubuki said was Like the wind." Kazemaru said shrugging. Ren looked at the blunette confusedly, wondering what that meant.
Apparently it meant snow boarding. Fubuki showed the team how it can help your reaction or something…
"Ah…" Ren mumbled when he saw Fubuki fall in fear…. Of the loud noise. 'This again' Ren thought.
Endou and Kazemaru ran up to him to make sure he was okay, with Ren following close behind. Though he said he was fine, Ren didn't believe him.
Ren got bored since they wouldn't let him snow board…
"This is no fun…" Ren whined, pouting. Kazemaru could only chuckle before becoming serious, another thing that worried Ren.
"I don't like this…" Ren trailed off, slowly walking away.
Ren walked back to school building and watched the girls make dinner, questioning why it was so small… apparently it was the coach's orders.
When everyone came in they complained about the small size, but Ren didn't stay long to listen. He grabbed one of the rolls and walked to the caravan where they would be sleeping that night. As he nibbled on the bread he pulled out the necklace again.
"Who am I…?" Ren questioned himself, "Wait! What am I thinking!?"
Ren was at a loss, his mind was all jumbled.
'I'm going to bed…' Ren thought to himself as he crawled into his sleeping bag.
Middle of the night: Ren's P.O.V
"I want power."
That's what woke me up in the middle of the night. It surprised me so much since Heigorou (Kabeyama) was snoring so loudly.
"Is it coming from the roof?" I questioned myself as I silently climbed the ladder to the roof of the caravan.
"The aqua of the gods that Zeus JR. high used… if I drank that, I would power up right away." I heard Ichirouta say. Mamoru started to chide him for saying such a thing while I was pondering why aqua of the gods sounded so familiar…
That's when my head started to pound, but the worst thing is my eye started to hurt,
"Huh?" I quietly said to myself as I brought my hand to my right eye; I felt something wet and I raised my hand so the moonlight could reveal whatever was on my hand…
Blood.
I screamed and fell through the hatch, falling back into the caravan onto Heigorou. He woke up screaming and our combined screaming woke up the caravan.
"What's wrong!" Mamoru shouted as he and Ichirouta came through the hatch; I had retreated into the corner and… pathetically whimpered.
"Ren-se… Ren fell on me." Heigorou said to the team as some tried to see what was going on.
"Ren? What's wrong Ren?" Ichirouta asked me. I felt his hand on my arms that were covering my face.
"b-bl-bl" I stammered out, I was so scared and shaky I was having a hard time.
"Blow? Bloom? Blossom? Boogyman?" Ichirouta started naming out stuff, I don't even know where he got boogyman…
"B-blood…" I finally stammered out. Ichirouta grabbed my head, bringing it up. Luckily someone had turned on the lights.
"Where?" he asked, confusing me. How could he not see it?
"My left eye… there was…" I stopped. I didn't see anymore blood, "No… I couldn't have imagined it.."
"Imagined what?" Yuuto (Kidou) asked.
"My head started to pound and my eye felt as if… it was being sliced through." I told them. A strange look came across everyone's face, save for Touko's and Onee-Chan's.
"Did you see anything, like a memory?" Yuuto asked, A strange question to Ren.
"No… It just hurt." I told him. I was about to say more, but I was afraid to.
"Okay… lets try going back to sleep," Yuuto said "Maybe that will make you feel better."
I nodded my head, realizing how sleepy I was. I felt someone pick me up; a rush of lavender filled my nose. The person placed me in my seat handing me my blanket.
"Thanks and goodnight Ichirouta." I said falling asleep.
"Goodnight Ren."
Normal P.O.V
After Ren had fallen asleep again, the team went outside to talk.
"I think he is getting his memories back." Endou said, his tone thoughtful for Kazemaru, who was stressed out still.
"Maybe, but why only blood?" Kidou asked, he seemed deep in though.
"Umm… maybe because it was a traumatic event for him?" Kabeyama question.
Everyone began to think about it and came to an agreement.
"Lets just watch and see." Endou said; everyone nodded and went back into the caravan to sleep.
The next day:
After breakfast everyone ran outside to practice with the snowboards again, become better with each hour. As they were practicing though, they were not paying attention to Ren…
"I'll show them." Ren had said as he laced up the snowboarding boots. He found a pair of boots and a snowboard in the shed and borrowed them.
He ran towards the top, hiding in the bushes and waited for everyone to go down.
"My turn!" He shouted, sliding to the slope.
"Ren!" He heard people shout, but ignored it as he went down.
This is awesome! Ren thought as he dodged snowballs and ignored the yells.
When he reached the end, the coach started to scold him for being reckless, but it was worth it.
"Gomen Onee-Chan, but I really wanted to try." Ren told her smiling a smile that made her forgive him.
"J-just don't do it again." She stuttered out.
"Hai."
Everyone was watching the exchange between the two; Fubuki was smiling thinking about when Ren and himself were younger. Everyone else still couldn't believe that was Ren.
After practicing a bit more, they ate lunch and then had a practice match, testing their training.
The day after that Someoka challenged Fubuki to a match, where Fubuki had his aura changed (noted by only Ren) though Ren noticed he had reverted back and Someoka stole the ball.
"They are getting stronger." Ren said out loud and the managers agreed with him. Ren smiled as he saw everyone get excited, but it ended when he felt a foreboding aura.
"Their here." Endou said as Aliea Gakuen appeared.
Ren looked at the newcomers and felt as though they were familiar…
"Who are they?" He asked Kazemaru.
"Aliea Gakuen's Gemini Storm. The Alien team trying to destroy our soccer." He had replied back. Ren was curious, the name Gemini Storm sounded very familiar… as did those, so called aliens.
"Gah!" Ren yelled as he gripped his head, once again it had started to pound.
"Ren are you alright?" Kazemaru said worried. Ren could only nod as he looked at the Aliea team again.
"Who are you…" He whispered.
The match began with Raimo's kickoff. They were doing well so far, being able to keep up with the alien; Ren cheered every time the team got a steal.
"Dragon Crash!" Someoka shouted as he shot.
"Black Hole!" The enemy goalkeeper shouted, using his hissatsu to block the ball. Ren recognized the hissatsu…
"Didn't I…" He started to say, but immediately closed his mouth. Luckily no one heard him.
Further into the game, the score was still 0-0 and it seemed to Ren that the team was relying on Fubuki to much, but he didn't mention it…
"Astro Break!" Reize shouted, using a hissatsu making a goal despite the attempts to stop it.
"Eh?" Ren said out loud, surprising the manager and the coach, "isn't that my…"
"What is it Ren?" Aki asked him, Ren shook his head.
"Nothing." He mumbled, watching the game again.
After the break Fubuki moved up to be a forward; as the second half started, Fubuki had his change in aura…
Through out the match, the Alien team used many different hissatsus, each one extremely familiar to Ren. It was driving him crazy, but he would not say anything; not till he was sure.
"Universe blast!" Reize and another alien said. It was a quite a powerful shot, but… Endou stopped it (combined with The tower and The Wall).
"Yes!" Ren whispered to himself.
The match soon ended with Fubuki's Eternal Blizzard, and Raimon won against Gemini Storm!
Everyone was cheering because they saved the world, though Ren… didn't feel that at all. Especially when Reize said that Raimon didn't know the true terror of Aliea Gakuen and that they were only second rank.
That's also when Epsilon , the first rank team, appeared. The presumed captain made Gemini Storm disappear with the mysterious soccer ball; they challenged humans again before disappearing in a mysterious light, leaving everyone staring in belief.
Later in the day:
Coach Hitomiko called the headmaster on what to do and was informed about a school being challenged; a school called Manyuuji junoir high. She was telling the team about them at a small convenience store, where everyone got a drink or something to eat. Ren didn't hear much since he was eating ice-cream.
"So lets go." She told the team, getting a 'Yes, Ma'am' back. The team loaded the caravan and set out for Manyuuji junior high.
o0o
"They seem kind of relaxed, don't they?" Was the first thing noted when Raimon arrived at their destination.
"Well we should go find the soccer club…" Endou said, but was given directions by Fubuki, who had asked some girls.
"Still popular, eh, Shirou." Ren said with a chuckle, Fubuki laughed with him. Everyone else was sweat-dropping. They made there way towards the Dojo where the soccer team was eventually finding it, but as Endou was walking towards it… he slipped, making everyone crash into him (except for the managers, Kidou and Ren). Megane was the only one to end up extremely hurt, thanks to Kabeyama landing on him. As Megane was complaining about his injury, everyone else was examining the mysterious spot that caused the small accident.
"You better not get cocky 'cause you won the Football Frontier!" A boy shouted, holding a bottle of floor wax.
"You little brat." Touko said as the boy started to run off; Touko jumped over the fence… only to land into a hole.
The boy can back and started to taunt Touko and confuse everyone…
"Kogure!" Someone shouted, startling the boy and causing him to run off. Soon a boy appeared and apologized for the strange boy, who was actually in the soccer club. He also explained why Kogure was like that.
"He lost trust in people due to his parents." This had not only surprised Haruna and Kidou, but also Ren as well.
"His parents?" Haruna questioned, worry in her tone. Kidou looked concern also, but the greatest concern should been Ren, who had a dark aura around him.
"Ren… are you okay." Kazemaru asked warily; it seemed to snap Ren out of whatever he was thinking.
"How can adults do that to us?" Ren questioned; everyone stopped moving. That's right… Ren is six and still thinks he was abandoned by his parents.
"It happens…" Kazemaru said, putting a hand on Ren's shoulder, but Ren just shrugged it off.
"Whatever." He said walking off.
"Was there something you needed?" The Manyuuji boy asked. Coach Hitomiko explained the situation to the boy.
"I see follow me." He said leading the team away.
And Scene.
I hope you enjoyed it :)
