Sakuchii: Yeah! I'm finally back before the great summer vacation!
Yukiko: The great summer vacation? What's that...?
Sakuchii: Well, anyway I will be coming back to only after two months...
Aiko: What! How you dare to leave!
Sakuchii: But but butt...
Mirai: Can we please start this already?
Midorikawa: Sakuchii doesn't own Inazuma Eleven or the charas on it. She only owns her OC's and all the other OC's belong to their rightful owners. Of course she also owns this plot of her.
Sakuchii: Enjoy!
The Uncried Tears
Tear Five: Her Past
"Nii-san!" Mai yelled as she entered the hospital building. The girl then stopped, when seeing her brother together with the guys from the soccer club – as well as the Sports class. She tried to get her breathing back to normal by laying her hands on her knees and facing down the floor.
Midorikawa Ruuyji turned around is surprise when he suddenly heard her sister's voice. "Mai-chan, what are you doing here?" he asked, amazed by the fact that his sister was standing right before him. He hadn't called her there.
Mai tried to calm down so that she would be able to answer to her brother, but it was impossible. After hearing Yukiko's words she had ran so fast straight to the hospital so now she wasn't able to stabilize her breathing back to normal so easily. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she tried to mumble something between her breaths.
"We're here because Okazaki-inchou told us that you got injured. When Mai-chan heard that, she immediately ran here without any second thoughts. She didn't even bother to hear any more explanations." Midorikawa suddenly heard a voice speaking and then saw Hannah and Akari entering the hospital.
"You two?" Endou, who was standing next to Midorikawa together with Kidou, Gouenji and Kazemaru was surprised. He hadn't expected at all that the duo would also come here.
Midorikawa's face darkened and his vein popped hard. "That OKAZAKI!" he cursed a certain indigo haired female who was in the Art class – just like he himself was. "She did that all, even though I clearly told her not to make a big fuss about it." after ending his sentence the green haired boy then sighed. Those Okazaki twins… really… They were so good at acting… And making people to believe – and TO DO – just anything that they wanted them to believe and do.
"So what exactly happened?" Hannah asked, as she noticed that Mai was still upset. The girls then glanced at Midorikawa's right hand which was on a plaster. He as had scratches on his left leg, right arm and also on the right side of his cheek.
"Ah! It's nothing to worry about. They're just little scratches." Midorikawa laughed while trying to assure the freshmen and then showed his right hand like there was nothing wrong with it. Hannah and Akari glanced at doubting expressions. Right, if only a hand in a plaster was nothing to worry about… Only when the cows will fly!
Mai, who had finally gotten her breathing stabilized stood up from leaning against her knees. She was about to open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted before she could even start, when a dark figure walked next to her.
"Midorikawa-senpai." a light green haired girl with orange eyes walked to Midorikawa and the boy turned to look at her. The girl was covered in mud and her eyes were all red, maybe because of crying. Also she seemed to be really shocked and scared at the same time.
"Matano…" Endou said surprised and then his younger sister Junko – who had been hiding behind her older brother all this time – took the hold of his shoulder. When the goalkeeper turned around he saw Junko shaking her head and then she turned to look at Midorikawa. Endou immediately realized when she had meant by that and also turned to look at the green-haired male.
"Midorikawa-senpai… I…" Suki stammered as her cheeks started to burn bright red. For some reason, she wasn't able to find the perfect words to apologize to the green-haired boy. Just why could it be so hard? "..I'M SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, MIDORIKAWA-SENPAI!" the girl was finally able to put her feelings into words. After the apology Suki bowed deep as tear drops dropped on the floor.
Midorikawa and the others from Raimon team stood there stunned, not knowing what to say. Mai first turned to look at the light green haired girl after what she glanced at her older brother. "I… it's alright." the green haired boy smiled happily. Suki raised her head with surprised look. Few teardrops ran down her cheeks as she smiled widely.
"SUKI!" they all suddenly heard yet another voice speaking. Then a female with a long light blue hair tied up on a ponytail and reddish eyes walked it. She was followed by a girl with shoulder length red hair and dark brown eyes. This girl was wearing glasses and had laptop on her lap. She stared at the laptop screen and was typing something.
"Kappin, Tappin!" the light green haired girl yelled in surprise and the light blue haired girl spoke after her. "Let's go!" right after that the glassed eyes girl fixed her glasses' position and turned to look at everyone in the entrance.
The light blue haired girl slid her hand trough her hair and then, without saying anything to anyone she turned around and walked away. The glassed eyed girl followed her, not saying anything either. The light green haired girl glanced at the two girls. She then hurriedly bowed while excusing herself and ran after them.
Mai, Hannah and Akari stared stunned at the girl who had just run away, "Who were they?" Hannah asked referring to the three girls. Yet again, they had met with a strange bunch of people. This was already getting tiring.
"Matano Suki. Year One Class A. An athletic type of person, though a total baseball idiot. Because of her carefree attitude, she's often asked to help the other clubs with up-coming competitions. Also, in elementary school, she was known as the Clown Jack." Junko explained, took a deep breath and then continued.
"Hotate Taki, Year One Class D. Is now the member of Art Class. There's not much known about this lonely girl who is always walking around with her laptop. The only person she's ever seen talking with is Nogizaka-senpai." Junko said and everyone was surprised about her knowledge. Still, Junko hadn't finished just yet.
"Nogizaka Kaya, Year Two Class C. She's one of the schools most well known persons, coming right after the IMW trio. Her outstanding appearance and fashion senses are just amazing. Also she's the new fashion designer for Ourora design. Yes, all that even though she's only in Jr. High." the Endou Jr. had finally explained everything she was supposed to. Everyone was staring at her with their mouths wide open and eyes glowing from amazement.
"How do you know all this?" Endou asked and Junko shrugged. "Well, the little bids told me." she showed her tongue while smirking. Of course anyone should have known that this all was the student councils vice-presidents Okazaki Yukiko's knowledge. And since Junko was always hanging around the Okazaki twins, she had memorized the personal information of most of the schools students.
"And this accident happened, because I was taking pallet colors from the old building to the main building together with Okazaki-inchou. It seemed that the Sports class was playing softball outside and Matano-chan accidentally hit the ball out of the field." Midorikawa started explaining, after what Kidou who had stayed silent for all this time spoke.
"The softball hit one of the main building windows and it broke. Unfortunately Midorikawa and Okazaki Junior were right under the window and it pieces cut through them. Okazaki managed to get without any injures as Midorikawa pushed her out of the way."
Hannah, Mai and Akari turned to look at Midorikawa who smiled at the girls while sweatdropping. So that was the reason for his injure. Mai sighed of relieve, thank god it hadn't been anything more serious. "That's a relieve." the three girls said at the same time. Junko, Endou, Midorikawa, Kidou and the others smiled at them.
"Sorry to interrupt you, but shouldn't we be heading back now? After all we still have lessons after this." Kazemaru asked as it seemed that the situation had finally calmed down. Everyone agreed with the boy and decided to head back.
Mai and her best friends were also going to follow the boys but suddenly, just as Hannah was about to turn away, she saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
"Mi- Ookami-san?" Hannah stammered and froze to that place when she saw the rust haired girl walking out off one of the patience's room. Mirai's eyes widened as she saw her classmate standing before her.
"Wha- What are you doing here?" the girls asked in union. They both then backed off and Hannah massaged her head while smiling. "Well, Midorikawa-senpai got injured, so I ended up coming here together with Mai-chan." the light blue haired girl explained and Mirai nodded as an answer. Still, to Hannah, her expression seemed absent.
"Ookami-san?" Hannah asked while tilting her head since Mirai looked that she wasn't going to say anything. The rust haired girl snapped out of it and turned her head to Hannah. "Ah, Gomen…" she apologized. After a short pause she quickly glanced at Hananh and continued, "Would you like to come with me?" she mumbled between her breaths.
Hannah's jaw dropped down and she pointed at herself while staring at Mirai who has light crimson on her cheeks. "Me?" the light blue haired girl asked and Mirai nodded while turning her head away from Hannah. "And those two can come too." she said and Hannah glanced at Akari and Mai, who were standing right behind her.
~ At The Same Time, In Raimon ~
Junko knocked the music classroom door and when she heard a familiar voice speaking she opened it and entered the room. "Yo Jukocchi, you're back." Aiko greeted the brown haired girl with a nickname that she had just made up for her.
"Good day to you too, Bakacchi," Junko smirked while greeting back, feeling superior over the indigo haired girl. Aiko turned to Junko with her eyes burning from anger, but Junko ignored this and just showed her tongue. It was so nice to tease the famous Cherry Saki from time to time.
"So, how were the things with Midorikawa? Is he alright now?" Yukiko, who was sitting on a desk and leaned her head against the window, asked. She didn't dare to turn to look at Junko and the brown haired girl understood her. Even to Yukiko, seeing someone getting hurt while saving her had been quite a shock. No wonder that she was so upset.
"Ah, he's just fine! They were just minor scratch." Junko answered to her, half lying half telling the truth. It was the truth that Midorikawa was alright now, but indeed the scratches weren't minor. But at this very situation, Junko's answer had probably been the best one.
"I see…" I light smile appeared on Yukiko's face and she finally turned to Aiko and Junko. Her chopper-colored eyes were shining as tear drops were running down her cheeks. The indigo haired girl quickly dried her wet eyes and smiled as she saw Junko staring at her with mouth wide open.
"Ahaa… I got something in my eye…" Yukiko tried to run away from the awkward situation by telling an obvious lie. A light smile appeared on Aiko and Junko's face and they ran to hug Yukiko.
"Moo-o! You little Inchou-Bastard!" Aiko laughed while patting Yukiko's head. The younger sibling laughed and buried her head on Aiko's chest, who wrapped her hands around Yukiko. Junko smiled at the twins and happily crossed her arms. There she stood for a while, staring and waiting for the twins.
"Oi Oi! That's one HUGE sister complex you have there, Okazaki Yukiko." the trio suddenly heard a male voice speaking and then a blonde haired, red eyed boy entered the room. He was followed by a brown haired and snow-white eyed first year student.
Yukiko raised her head from Aiko's chest and angrily drilled her chopper colored eyes on the boy's red ones. "What are you doing here, Stupid-Blond?" Yukiko asked while dangerous tone as she stood up. Aphrodi glanced at her, but then he turned to Aiko, whose cheeks turned red as their eyes met.
"What the reason you think it could be, Okazaki Yukiko?" he then answered to Yukiko's question with a question and turned to face the younger Okazaki again. It seemed that his habit of calling Yukiko by her full name hadn't changed at all.
Yukiko pouted in anger and took a step ahead to get between Aphrodi and Aiko. "I'm sorry but we're kinda busy at the moment… so could you please come back later?" she suggested while smirking at the blond boy.
"Now… I wonder…" Aphrodi grinned back and Yukiko and the girl's smirk faded away immediately. She then crossed her arms while tapping the floor. By this Aiko and Junko knew that Aphrodi had won the battle, since tapping her leg on the floor was Yukiko's way of showing her loss.
So the two girls who were witnessing this strange – yet not un-normal – event between Yukiko and Aphrodi sweat dropped. Just why in the world those two were so overprotecting towards the things that loved. Well, in Yukiko's case it was obvious, after all that what had happened between Aiko and Haruya… but why Aphrodi too? Why was he going so far just not to lose to the indigo-haired girl?
"And here I thought that Okazaki-iinchou would be nice to everyone. It's awesome to witness this never-ending-war between the Okazaki-iinchou who's loved and respected by every student and my usually-so-calm cousin." the girls suddenly heard an unknown – yet somehow familiar – voice speaking. After that a girl with brown hair and snow-white eyes appeared from behind Aphrodi's back and walked into the room.
"Noble … Yura… I assume?" Yukiko asked while putting on her glasses and lower her high ponytail to neck, which had become her imago and usual appearance as the student councils temporary president. Her real position was vice-president.
The first year student before her nodded and Yukiko closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then took off her glasses and tied her hair on a high ponytail with a red ribbon. "I guess that it's okay for you to see the real me." Yukiko then said while putting out her tongue and winked at Yura whose eyes widened a little.
Junko and Aiko had exactly the same expression as Yura. They would have never thought that Yukiko would reveal her true self to a total stranger. Even at the very moment the only ones who knew Yukiko's real personality were Aiko, Junko, Endou and Aphrodi – as well as Fuusuke and Haruya of course. To everyone else "The Okazaki-inchou" was the real Yukiko.
"So-hou…" Yukiko mumbled while turning to face Aphrodi. "Why are you here?" Aphrodi grinned at Yukiko and then walked to Aiko and wrapped his arms around the girl, "I came to introduce my cousin to my dear girlfriend… and of course the other way around too." he smirked while kissing Aiko on her cheek and the four girls blushed hard… Aiko the hardest.
"But Yura, you better remember not to tell anyone about this… Otherwise she will be stalked even more than normally… and strange rumors will spread around the school."
"I got ya." Yura answered after a short pause while crossing her arms and grinned happily.
~ Outside the Music classroom ~
Dark figure was standing behind the music classroom and stalked at the five people who were inside. It was so concentrated on the group that didn't hear at all the steps that were coming towards it. Only when it heard a voice speaking, it realized that it wasn't alone at jumped up in startle.
"What are you doing here?" the voice asked and a person walked next to her first one, who quickly pointed at the music classroom. When the latter person peeked into the room, a wide smile appeared on it face and the person smirked, "Now this is interesting…" it said and then walked off while laughing freakily and left the former person all stunned behind the door.
~In The Hospital~
Hannah, Mai and Akari closely followed Mirai, who lead them to the fourth floor and stopped in front of the room number 441. The rust haired girl knocked the door lightly and opened it while excusing herself.
"Come in," she then told to Hannah and the others and closed the door after the trio had entered the room. Inside the room, there was a still body of a gray haired boy laying and peacefully sleeping in the bed. He was on the drip and many different (johto) were attached to his body. The boy's blood pressure, pulse and everything else were showed by a monitor what was next to the bed.
"Shirou-kun, I'm back." Mirai said as she walked to a chair which was placed next to the bed and sat on it. Hannah eyes widened as she saw the girls gentle face that sweetly smiled at the boy. How could the girl who had had so cold and absent look on her all this time put on a sweet smile like that.
"How long…" Mai couldn't end her sentence as she was completely speechless. She didn't know that someone could actually be in that kind of condition. She had never seen someone who was in coma. Mirai just kept looking at Shirou and didn't turn her glance to the girls.
"It's almost a year now…" she then finally answered quietly while knowing how would have Mai's question ended. "It's almost a year since the accident where he was drove over by a truck…" the girl continued explaining.
Mai, Hannah and Akari all gasped as they heard Mirai's words and backed off. Not of fear, but more like a startle mixed with shock. Mirai turned to look at the trio while forcing a smile on her face and at last she glanced at Hannah.
At the very moment Hannah felt as if something had entered into her mind and a blurry image was appearing in front of her. In the first one there were two girls walking happily as if they were returning home from somewhere.
Suddenly a shocked and hurt looking boy's figure ran past them and crossed the street. He was followed by a wobbling and crying girl who was chasing after him. The girl suddenly stumbled and felled down in the middle of the street.
In the next scene so many different things happened, that Hannah couldn't completely get just what was going on. The blurry images appeared before her as fast as they disappeared. The boy turned back to the girl to help her up but then a truck appeared… Next, the other two figures also ran towards the boy and the girl….
And what Hannah saw next, was floor bloody bodies laying on the middle of the crosswalk.
"No… No… NOO!" Hannah screamed loudly while shaking her head as her breathing fastened and she dropped on her knees. A great suddenly entered her head and she covered it with her hands.
"Hannah!" Mai and Akari panicked as they saw their friend collapsing in great pain on the floor. Hannah's breathing was heavy and the other girls kneeled next to her.
Mirai stared at the trio with cold, colorless eyes that showed no emotions at all. Mai raised her head to look at Mirai and her eyes widened in shock as she saw the rust haired girl staring at her with arrogant looking expression.
"Why are you doing this?" the black haired girl asked while standing up and glaring at Mirai. Akari stayed with Hannah and tried to calm the girl down. As she raised her head up, she saw Mai glaring at Mirai as if she was ready to hit the girl.
Mirai closed her eyes and turned to look at Hannah, who was finally able to calm down, "The only reason is…" the briste eyed girl told and then continued while turning to look at Hannah, "because he's also Fubuki."
Hannah eyes widened in shock and she raised her head to look at Mirai. When their eyes met the girl blue haired girl noticed that a light smile appeared on Mirai's face.
It seemed that Hannah was the only one to get what Mirai had meant by that, as Mai and Akari were both looking at her with mixed expressions of anger, confusion and worry. The air in the room was getting heavier by every moment, and finally Mai helped Hannah up, but still kept glancing at Mirai with murderous glare.
"Let's go. It's no use to talk to this person." Mai was already willing to leave, but Hannah just stood up and stared at Mirai while refusing to go, "Hannah you?"
"I… Can you tell me more? About you and him… I mean…" Hannah asked and Mai's eyes widened in the great shock that she had just received. Was the girl out of her mind? Was she really going to speak to that crazy girl again?
"If you really want to…" Mirai started while turning away from Hannah and the others and then continued, "…then meet me tomorrow after school… Hanako." the girl said and Hannah nodded while understanding.
"Come on Hana-chan… Let's go!" Mai took the hold of Hannah's hand and forced the girl to walk out of the room while dragging the light blue haired girl along with her.
Akari turned first to glance at Mirai and then she turned back to Hannah and Mai, who were already out of the room… and then ran after the duo while leaving Mirai all alone together with Shirou.
- Next Morning -
"Ohayo!" Hikaru greeted Shina and Shizuka who were waiting for her at the main gates. "Ohayo!" the girls greeted her back and the trio headed towards the main building where they had their first lesson, physics.
When the girls entered the main building to change their shoes to indoor-shoes, they saw a strange confusion and hassle just before the doors. "What's going on?" Shina asked wondering and Hikaru and Shizuka shrugged. The trio decided to advance forward to learn more about what was actually happening.
At the very front of the crowd there were Junko, Aiko and Yukiko. Shina greeted Junko who silently answered to her by nodding her head. Shina head bobbed while wondering why the heavy air with the trio.
Shizuka glanced at the poster that was on the front door. Also it seemed that it copies were scratted around all over the school.
"What is this`" Hikaru asked while staring at the poster on which was written.
Unexpected Couple: Idol x Yakuza!
"Our schools idol is going out with a former Yazuka!
After keeping it a secret from everyone, Saki finally reveals just
who her boyfriend is! It's Afuro Temuri from 2 C"
All of a sudden a dark aura surrounded the whole entrance and then a big bang was heard as Aiko punched the door with all of her strength. "I'M SO GOING TO KILL THAT BITCH!"
13 years old, you misunderstood my feelings. 14 years old, you finally noticed me. 16 years old, why do you look so sad?
Sakuchii: And that's for it... And sorry for the typos... I will try to check them all during the summer vacation.
Yukiko: But didn't you say that you won't be coming here...
Sakuchii: Only for that porpuse! :O
Aiko: Next time on The Uncried Tears! Aiko is ready to kill Yura for the posters, but there's more than meets the eyes... Who's really the one behind them?
Yukiko: And Hannah visits Mirai's house... what more will she learn about her past and the silent type of girl. And also... there's a great surprise waiting for Hikaru!
Mirai: ... See this all ... next ... time...
Sakuchii: Could you please not sound so bored?
