It was like any ordinary day at the Raimon soccer club. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and there was a slight breeze in the air. Except on this day, Tsurugi was acting very strange. He would always keep on missing passes and whenever he would shoot, the ball would always miss the goal. This made a certain red headed manager particularly annoyed.

"Are you okay, Tsurugi? You seem off today." Tenma asked as he placed a hand on the said striker's shoulder, which was quickly brushed off by the navy haired boy.

"I'm fine, Matsukaze. Let's just get back to practice..." Tsurugi said, removing the hand off of his shoulder and continue on with practice.

"What the hell is that moron doing?" Midori growled as she slumped down into her seat beside as the two girls beside her sweat dropped.

"M-midori-san..." Aoi said with a forced smile on her lips." Maybe Tsurugi-kun has something on his mind right now. He might be thinking about a new hissatsu technique."

"She's not wrong, Midori-san." Akane added, taking a few pictures of Shindou on her camera." The past few weeks have been rather stressful ever since they came back from that space tournament. With numerous schools challenging us to see what they're made of, it's understandable. Even Shin-sama is feeling the pressure."

"Yes but it's different this time." Midori retorted, keeping her eyes trained on the boy." If he was thinking of a new technique, then he wouldn't be missing his shoots and passes at all. Plus, he'd also would've talked to both Tenma and Shindou about it, whether if it was a technique that required more than one person or not. Something's up."

This made the girls silent and made them reverted back to watching the boys. She was right. Tsurugi has been acting off for a while. Everyone else however didn't really notice it as much as the girls. However a few of them did have a few suspicions.

Not long after that conversation, a whistle was blown signaling break for the boys. When Midori gave Tsurugi his water and towel, that's when she decided to make her move.

"Oi, what's going on?" She asked looking into his eyes as he looked back at her questioningly." You've been acting weird for the past few days and it's not about the matches with the other teams. Wanna talk about it?"

Tsurugi stared at her for a moment before turning away." It's non of your business." He stated coldly, walking away when he stopped when Midori grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back to face her.

"It is my business when it concerns a member of the team. Managers are there to help the team when they have a problem and in this case you do, so what's up?" The girl said raising an eyebrow.

"You know it's rude to be sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, overbearing yankee." Tsurugi sneered, glaring at her.

"Yankee?! Well at least I know when to talk about my problems to someone, you over-brooding emo!" She retorted.

At this point, everyone was able to see electricity sparking between the two. Whenever someone tried to talk some sense to the two, they were hit with a fierce glare coming from the two delinquents, growling "Butt out." harshly and continued with the argument. The insults they said to each other ranged from name calling to their obsessions to their looks.

"Carrot head!"

"Vampire boy!"

"Flat chest!"

"It's a binder, spikes for brains!"

The argument continued on and the team eventually went back to practice. They even continued when Endou along Haruna with two guests came to the group." Oi, Tenma. What are those two doing?" He whispered to the said boy, sweatdropping as they watched the argument continue.

"Hehe." Tenma chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head with a forced smile on his lips." Well, Midori-senpai noticed something wasn't right about Tsurugi and she asked him what was wrong. He then insulted her and now they are having an argument. They've been doing this a while now."

"That's odd. Midori would usually just brush any insult aside then drag out any information she wanted. Having an argument escalated between them must be pretty serious." Haruna mumbled, glancing at Endou.

"The same goes for Tsurugi. He normally doesn't have arguments with anyone unless something really ticks him off. Especially with girls." A voice behind Endou said and everyone looked over the coach of Raimon to see Hakuryuu and Shuu.

"Shuu! Hakuryuu!" Tenma greeted." What are you doing here?"

"Yo, minna!" Shuu said giving a wave as both Tenma and Shinsuke ran over and glomped him." We came to see how good you guys were doing since the last time we met. We called your coach and we got the boat ride here."

"So now that we've gotten the formalities out of the way..." Kariya began before turning back to the two arguing couple, pointing at them."...what are we going to do about 'that'?"

Hakuryuu blinked and looked at them closely." Huh? I didn't know Tsurugi had a girlfriend." He asked turning to the others and the argument stopped immediately.

"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE! LIKE I'D EVER DATE HIM/HER!" They yelled pointing at each other with a slight blush on their faces before turning the opposite directions, not looking at each other and walking away.

"Oi, Midori, where are you going?" Nishiki asked, clearly confused along with the rest of the club who watched the whole situation between the two.

"Cleaning up the equipment in the club room!" She replied before opening the door before slamming it loudly.

"Tsurugi, what are you-?" Shinsuke began before the said boy kicked the ball with "Fallen Angel", which landed perfectly into the goal, before walking away without looking back at them.

"I'm going home early." Was all he said getting his bag and uniform and walked out of the pitch with out another word.

Hakuryuu looked at the directions both of the boy and girl went in then turned back to the team." Was it something I said?" He asked.

Haruna stared at the two with a raised eyebrow before a little smug smile found its way onto her lips. The gears in her head began to move as a little plot of some sort began to formulate in her head. She grabbed her phone and ushered both Aoi and Akane.

Meanwhile, inside the club room after Midori slammed the door harshly, she held the door as a dark blush that spread to her cheeks.'...stupid...why did it have to be that idiot that I had to fall for...' she thought.

Yuuichi stared at his brother with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He was at home, in the living room having a conversation with a girl from his class when Tsurugi came inside with a dark blush over his usually pale features. It didn't take too long after this did he figure out what was going on with the striker and ended the call with his classmate before turning to the boy.

"What happened at school today, Kyousuke? Did you talk to that girl you were talking about before?" Yuuichi asked with a smug smile etched on his lips.

The boy gave him a small glare towards his elder brother before looking down to his lap with a somewhat light blush on his cheeks.

"It's uh...best not to talk about it Nii-san. A-anyway, I better get my homework done. J-Ja..."

Yuuichi waved his younger brother off as he walked up the stairs to his room. He chuckled when the boy was out of hearing range. It had been quite a long time since he's seen Kyousuke showing such a reaction since he was a child. Or more specifically, after the accident that confided Yuuichi to the wheelchair.

The navy hair man said, just about to get up when the phone beside him rang. He blinked in surprise before answering the phone and answering.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Yo Yuuichi-san! I need to ask you a favour?"
