I do not own Inazuma Eleven.

Enjoy!

"And your father allowed you to go?" His mother said, out in her original form, she seemed similar to him but her eyes were definitely female, she was talking to him through his watch, the women seemed honestly surprised and she wasn't the only one.

"Yes, mother" He said, keeping his face passive.

"Well.. that's nice of him" His mother said, and it took all of his willpower not to snort, just what was his father up to? "It's really too bad, I was looking forward to having you with me, in the holidays, it get's lonely being in such a big house, all by myself"

But you have dozens of servants to keep you company..Xene thought, not wanting to say anything.

"Xene, make sure you get some pictures for mother, okay" She said, and he nodded reluctantly. "I want to see how handsome you look, without all that" and by all that, she meant without his base form and show her his true form.

Sometimes, he just wanted to release this form and have it all hanging out, although it's would be really bad for him if people found out his true face but sometimes it got too stuffy.

Xene had thought it over and had come back to train with Endou, although he never said a word to any of the members of the team, he was extremely distant to everyone and only really talked when someone was talking to him directly.

Only Endou seemed to be able to get through to him.

But nobody had any idea of who would show up next.

Ch 8: Fighting is my purpose in life.

"Again!" Endou shouted, it became a common sight to see Xene and Endou training together even though the boy never talked about himself.

But before Xene could deliver another kick, he suddenly stopped in mid-step, Endou couldn't hear it but he could.

The sound of feet approaching this place, someone had latched onto his any signature and was following it, he was almost glad that, that somebody didn't zap beside him, instead they walked towards him like a normal human being.

The person was clearly male, he had cat like eyes, pale skin, tall with black wavy hair tied into a ponytail, bangs covering his face, to say Xene was surprised to see the Epsilon captain, would be an understatement.

In the alien disguised as a human boy, hand was a bag full of bait and other things.

"Who is that?" Fubuki said, finding that there wasn't something quiet normal about the newcomer.

The newcomer approached Xene and opened his mouth and said.

"I didn't know were allowed to play Soccer, here"

Shocking pretty much everyone, to hear a language that was clearly not Japanese or even remotely, English.

However Xene replied back fluently.

"It was never stated that we couldn't kick a ball while were here and besides, I'm only helping this human boy refine his skills. There pathetic"

"You, of all people. Are helping a human?" Dasarm said, honestly surprised. "You must really be bored."

And Xene said, nothing before saying. "Why are you here Dasarm? You don't usually go out of your way to find me, unless you want to challenge me, again."

Dasarm grinned, something that look totally out of place on his innocent looking face now that his eyes weren't glowing and the area's around his iris weren't black like they were usually and said. "True. I want to see how much I've improved since the last time we did battle. I want to feel my blood boiling again"

And Xene was really glad that nobody but him could understand the boy, because he was sure, that speech would have disturbed them all very greatly.

"As you can see, I'm busy." He said, he had no time for Dasarm right now.

"Than let me help" The Alien boy said, surprising him. "The quicker your done, the longer time we have to battle."

And Xene looked at him, long and hard before saying. "Very well than" before switching to Japan's and saying. "Endou-san, is it okay if this guy joins the practise? The shots would have more variety"

He's going to join? Endou said, surprised, as he looked at the newcomer and said. "Sure, the more the merrier"

Dasarm, and Xene eyes breathfly met, yes, he know he had to downplay his skills because he couldn't afford to do anything inhuman.

Like disappear the ball into a black whole.

"Wait" Xene said, stopping Dasarm in his tracks. "I think, your more suited to help that group over there since they have no goal-keeper." surprising the boy and the group consisting of Gouenji, Fubuki, Kidou and Toraramua and said. "If that's okay with you guys, that is"

Kidou eyes narrowed behind his goggles at the redhead and so did Gounenji.

"I promise, he's a really good goal-keeper" Xene said, motioning for Dasarm to go to the extra goal, even though he was more suited to be a forward.

Xene had seen Inazuma Japan offence and it was lacking in power, compared to the universe he came from.

All of their eyes watched Dasarm as he stood in the goal keeper net.

"Let's resume" Xene said, to a surprised Endou who suddenly saw Xene running to kick another ball, as a result, it hit his face.

Xene wonder how long it would take for Kudo and the small group to realise that they can't score on Desarm, not with their current abilities.

It would be fun to see, their faces as they realized this.

"ANOTHER ONE!" Endou said, snapping him out of his thoughts, as he nodded and produced another one, Xene was pleased to see Endou movements were much better and the boy didn't know it but he had been quiet close to seeing the ball.

Xene shot another one, which would have passed Endou again if his fist didn't suddenly react.

The sound of the ball meeting a rubber fist, was heard.

Endou eyes widened feeling the tremendous force behind the ball, now he had finally made contact with it.

What power... He thought, as he found himself push back, he couldn't catch this ball normally, he had to do...

"Blazing knuckle!" He shouted, drawing everybody's on him, as he started his rain of punches.

He was going to stop this ball!

Dasarm looked, at the fire in that human boys eyes...

Endou felt his hands sting really bad and it became clear the ball was going to make through the net.

No.

This ball wasn't going to go in!

With one finally attempt, hie used all of his strength in one final punch.

His fist glowed and suddenly there was a golden hand behind it.

No it wasn't God hand.

It was.

Seigi no Tekken.

Xene couldn't help but crack a smile at the sight of Endou move, boy did it bring back memories, although it was clearly a baby version of the full thing.

Dasarm was shocked to see Xene actually smiling.

The ball was pushed away by the force.

Endou was in shock.

Everyone in Inazuma Japan was shocked.

Was that?

Seigi no Tekken, the move, that was written in his grandfather notebook!?

"A-Awesome" Someone said, "Was that the Seigi no Tekken?"

"Seigi no Tekken?" Someone else said.

"What was that energy just now?" Endou said, he felt power that he never felt before coursing through his veins.

"Well done" Xene said, drawing all attention to himself. "You managed to stop one of my shots, bravo." making Endou feel good about himself. "But of course, don't let your guard down, just because you stop one measly shot of mine, you just stopped a regular shot nothing more."

Endou nodded with a look of determination on his face, he still had a long way to go.

That's Endou Mamoru for you. Xene thought, the guy was still the same no matter which form he came from.

Xene...Dasam thought, he wondered if Xene now he was smiling.

# 4 hours later#

Damn it. Kudou thought, how was it possible that not a single of their shots got through the goal!?

And they were stopped in such an unbelievable way?

What was this guy?

And he wasn't the only one thinking that, as Dasarm just casually dusted his hands off before looking at Endou Mamoru, trying to figure out what made the human boy so different that the Xene would smile at the boy.

He waited until dark and made sure the boy was alone, when he approached/

Endou was startled to see the boy, who played today approach him and say.

"What makes you different"

"Pardon?" Endou said.

"Xavier, he was smiling today" Dasarm said, using Xene assigned human name. "In all the years I've know him, at most I've only saw a twitch of the lips. So I'm asking what makes you so special"

"Special?" Endou said, "I'm not special at all" surprising the alien disguised as human. "I think, Xavier just really likes playing soccer."

Xene likes soccer? Dasarm thought, he had never thought that Xene actually liked playing soccer, he thought like him, he was forced to play by a not quite sane man.

"I can feel it in the way he kicks the ball" Endou said, "It hurts like hell but it gave a positive feeling. Nobody who doesn't like soccer would ever be able to convey such a feeling"

And Dasarm was shocked, the human boy was so sure of himself, where did his convictions come from?

It made him question himself as well.

Did he like playing soccer?

Did he actually like kicking the ball around?

What did his opponents feel after receiving the balls he kicked?

"So um" Endou said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Do you mind if I ask, how you know Xavier?"

Daserm blinked, this human was very strange but he wasn't sure if it was a good thing and said. "We attend the same school, why?"

"No reason..." Endou said. "He just seems a bit lonely. He's always so distant from everyone here"

Well of course he is. Daserm thought, try living as long as he has and you will understand his distance. Your just a human, who would be gone in a blink of an eye. It's best not to form any emotional attachment to you or your kind.

But of course, he couldn't say any of that.

"Well, I'm sure he's got his reason" Endou said, although he wished the boy wasn't so distant, that look in his eyes kind of reminded him of the first time he met Gouneji. "What with his brother and all..." Making Dasarm eyebrow rise.

"Brother? Xavier dosn't, have a brother" Dasarm said, making Endou eyes widened.

Xavier wasn't Hiroto younger brother but they look so much alike!

"Ehh!?' Endou said, and Dasarm was amazed that a human could make such a sound. "So he's not the little brother of world famous Hiroto Kiyama!?"

"Who's Hiroto Kiyama?" Daserm said, making Endou gap at him.

This person really must not be from Japan if he doesn't know the name Hiroto Kiyama.

"Ah, nobody" Endou said, they had been wrong about Xavier heritage, and now that he thought about it, Xavier didn't seem to be Japanese at all, he had that accent going on and everything, so did this guy. "Well, anybody who's a friend of Xavier, is a friend of mine" raising his hand for Dasarm to shake, making the alien immediately alert.

Endou would never know who he was raising his hand in friendship to or how shocking it was for the alien.

Dasarm had grown up fighting, and that was all he had ever known.

Such a thing as friendship, he didn't understand the concept of it.

To him there was only rivals and power.

"What are you doing?" He said, was this person trying to trick him into lowering his guard?

"I'm offering you a hand of friendship" Endou said, you would think he had never seen such this gesture before.

"Friendship? I don't need friendship, there are only rivials and people I must overcome in this world, that is my sole purpose" He said, making Endou eyes widened. "I have no use for what you call friendship" walking straight passed the stunned boy.

Endou was too stunned to even think about moving.

"The only reason, I even came here today is because of Xavier, he is a hurdle that I must overcome" He said, while leaving.

"Don't ever offer me such a thing again"

And Dasarm had no idea, how sad his life sounded to the ears of those who heard it.

Xene who was hidden away not that far from them had heard it all, he had read about Dasarm species, he had seen the horrors, that those who were unfortunate enough to be born into such a race, went through, not even Endou Mamoru can save someone who was told to either sink or swim the moment he was born and to fight just for their first ever meal.

To Daserm.

Fighting was everything.

Something like friendship, was a single road that only ended with his death.

Endou didn't know it but if Dasarm had taken his hand in that moment.

He would have been ripped apart by the large blackhole that was Daserm Vitex.

And scene!
