Yo! Here's chapter three as well as chapter four. This is a double update just to tell ya and i;m already starting on chapter 5.

Erisa's P.O.V

I'm starting to see why Hiji-kun got along so well with these guys. They're all insane. At first I was having fun with screwing with them since they so didn't expect me, but then some guy came flying in on a surfboard and almost killed the kid with glasses. He then spouted something about riding the moment and that his team wanted to play them. Let me start at the beginning.

Flashback

"Hey, what do you think is going to happen when they see me. I mean, last time they met me, I was pretty cold." I inquired, trying to start up a conversation.

Hiji-kun just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I told them you name and who you are yesterday, as well as the fact that you don't like soccer."

I raised an eyebrow at that. "Oh~ They won't react so well then, seeing as how Raimon Eleven is full of soccer freaks."

I had to end my pondering as we got there. They were talking about practice and how the girls were going to go look for someone. I smirked and got behind Hiji-kun.

"Don't make any notion I'm here when we go down there, I want to screw with them a little." I said all too gleefully.

Hiji-kun just shook his head in exasperation at my antics, but obliged all the same.

"Heya!" Hiji-kun yelled down at them, me hidden behind him.

"Hijikata!" The boy with a headband yelled back as Hiji-kun made his way down to them. I was still expertly hidden behind him. I have an awesome ability to hide in plain sight when I want to.

"If you'd like, eat some." Hiji-kun said, setting the basket of vegetables on a random table. "They're fresh vegetables from our fields."

The old man that was standing next to the table thanked him, as well as the headband boy.

Hiji-kun tried to play it cool. "What? You're protecting our planet. We've got to keep you healthy."

I snickered silently from my spot near the wall.

"Endou!" I faint voice yelled from the distance. Everyone turned to stare at where the voice came from. The voice came from some guy who was flying on a surfboard and heading straight for them.

"Tsunami!" The boy now known as Endou yelled back.

Tsunami jumped off his board in mid-air and landed among them. His board came flying in after, almost slamming down on a boy in glasses, scaring the crap out of everyone near him.

End Flashback

I watched in interest at their little interaction. Wandering how they could be so calm after witnessing that. They truly are one of a kind.

They just got the OK from their coach after a little prodding. All of they jumped up and cheered. Hiji-kun gave me a look, asking if I wanted to go. I gave a smirk and mouthed the words 'out loud.' He got the point.

Before he could, Endou asked him if he wanted to come. Hiji-kun shook his head. "I need to get back to my younger siblings. What about you Eri-chan?" He asked casually, turning his head towards me.

I shrugged. "Seems like fun and I got nothing better to do. It's also a Sunday, so Amy won't mind." I answered him, causing everyone besides Hiji-kun to jump at my sudden appearance.

They all turned their heads to look at me in surprise, their coach and Endou more than anyone else.

"When'd you get there?" She questioned me.

"I came here with Hiji-kun, so the whole time." I answered back.

At that moment, Endou finally recognized me. "Wait! You're that girl from yesterday!" He exclaimed.

At that, everyone else seemed to realize it. I rolled my eyes at their thickness. I'm not that easy to forget, am I?

"What are you doing here?" The kid with dreads asked.

"Well, Hiji-kun asked me to watch the kids while he went to pick the vegetables. When he got back, I went with him because I was bored." I answered.

"Is it true that you don't like soccer?" Endou asked with the most earnest eyes I have ever seen since my brother.

I twitched. No matter how many times I get asked that, I still can't stop the slight pain in my heart as I answer. "No, I don't dislike soccer." I say with an innocent expression. I notice Hiji-kun brace himself for what came next.

"Really?" Endou asked as his face started to light up.

"Yeah, I hate it with all my heart." I said in the most venomous voice any of them have ever heard. My once smug face was now cold and emotionless.

Endou visibly flinched, while the others had mixed reactions of shock, hurt, and amazement. (Amazement because there is actually someone who hates soccer that much.)

Hiji-kun just sighed, shaking his head at my answer. "You know Eri-chan; you didn't have to be that vicious with your answer." He said in exasperation.

"What do you mean. All I did was answer his question truthfully." I said with an air of innocence.

My answer to his comment must have stirred something within Endou, for he asked the very question that was to be never asked.

"Why?" He asked with concerned eyes.

"I just do." I answered calmly. "Now are you going to go play that match against Tsunami's team or not?"

Taking that as a 'not talking about it anymore' they all got on their bus and I jumped on with them. I sat next to the guy with dreads and goggles. He introduced himself as Kidou Yuuto. Kid-kun is what I decided to call him.

The ride there was uneventful. When we got there, I took one look at the other team and zoned out. They were the type that would probably get on my nerves if I paid attention. When I noticed the game was starting, I walked over to the bench where their coach and managers were at.

The beginning of the game was interesting to say the least. They were a carefree team that like to have fun, but anyone with enough experience can tell that a team like that is a dangerous one. After realizing this, I fell back into my old habit and started to analyze. They were carefree, meaning their plays were seemingly unpredictable, but that also meant an opening.

Without realizing it, my face had morphed into the one I always used when studying another team before his death. My thoughts went haywire as I processed the information.

'There's something not right. Though this kind of team is dangerous, they shouldn't be getting the ball so easily. Unless… glasses! Of course, just before the ball was taken, he said something about beats. Beats? Vegetable… No. Music… Yes! He's using the rhythm of their steps to find the right timing of attack! Its guineas, but not enough to stump me it seems. Now, let's see of Raimon can figure it out.'

With that, my face relaxed and I watched.

About a few minutes before halftime, they shot at Endou, but it went over the goal. Kid-kun was still trying to figure it out, but no luck. Sighing in annoyance at their obliviousness, I got up and walked towards the sideline where Kid-kun stood.

"Oi, Kid-kun," I said, getting his attention. "You're still trying to figure out their trick right?"

He looked at me in surprise, sweat dropping slightly at the nickname, but nodded, willing me to continue. I did.

"Change your timing. When Glasses yells a timing, change it." At that I walked back to the bench.

I looked back at him to see that he had made his way over to Endou and a few others, realizing what I was telling him. I smirked and thought, 'Good, looks like they're not all as simple minded as I first thought.'

"Hey, what did you just tell him?" One of the managers, Aki I think, asked me.

I smirked and answered, "I just gave him a little hint to their strategy. I wanted to see if he'd get it. It looks like he did."

She made an 'Oh' face and turned back to the game, before realizing something. She turned back to me, wide eyed. "You know their strategy?" She asked.

"Yeah. I also know what they're going to do once their first strategy is deemed ineffective." I answered back. Her eyed only got wider, as did the other two's.

The Coach's eyes widened as well, but I could see for a different reason. That theory was proven right when she asked, "You used to be a captain, am I correct?"

I kept my eyes on the field, face suddenly blank. The coach took my silence as a yes, as did the girls. She then asked, "What is their strategy and what will they do next?" Though it was obvious she already knew.

"Timing. The boy in glasses counts the rhythm of a player and then shouts it out to his teammates so they know when to attack. It's quite guineas, but the flaw is that if the player changes their timing afterwards, the attack is rendered useless. Once that strategy is compromised, the most logical course of action is to exploit you're team's weak point. That would most likely be Tachi-kun, correct?" I answered with an air I haven't had for a while.

The coach's eyes widened once again, this time in amazement, before smirking. The girls sweat dropped at the nickname I had given Tachimukai.

On the field, just as I said that last part, Tachi-kun had failed to control the ball that was passed to him and got hit in the face instead.

"So how would we counter such a move?" She asked, trying to see just how much I knew.

"Exploit theirs." I answered simply.

"And who would that be?" She questioned, gaining more amusement each answer.

"Tsunami. He's a beginner, has no idea what his position is, and, much like Tachi-kun, can't handle the ball very well." I said back, beginning to like the game this coach was playing.

At that answered, the coach seemed satisfied and turned back to the match. The halftime whistle blew a few seconds after.

'This team might be more fun than what I first believed.' I thought as the players walked off the field.

Hope you liked it! R&R

To the next one~
