A/N: The sentences in bold are the title and closing remarks. A haiku is a type of Japanese poetry (I think so) that consists of three lines; the first having five syllables, second with seven, and third with five. This is also the 100 reads (it's belated though) chapter. Enjoy!
*Ok, the anti-liberal part was meant to indicate the liberality of free soccer, and Fifth Sector is opposed to that, and SEEDs are also opposed to liberalism, so I just used anti-liberal for the syllable count.
**Pardon for the word choice. Again, it was for the syllable count.
***Returned the favor.
First Year of Junior High
First year of junior
High was a very happy
One. I have new friends.
We have many things
To talk about in the years
For the future year.
In full honesty,
We had many adventures.
Met many people.
Our first was waging
A rebellion against Fifth
Sector, used soccer.
But it wasn't us
Exactly who were leading.
It was friend Tenma.
He's my childhood friend.
I knew him long time ago.
He's a natural.
He supported us
And converted a former
Anti-liberal.*
That person is now
Our ace striker and part of
The Raimon Trio.
He still has his past
Attitude, though not as be-
fore; he was a SEED.
And speaking of the
Famous Raimon Trio, there's
One more person in.
He's the strategist
Of our team, and one of the
Midfielders also.
Sometimes he's also
Called a drama queen by some.
In my thoughts, he is.
That's why his best friend,
One of our defenders and
Perhaps the support.
What I did mean by
Support? Emotional type.
'Cause he's more stable.
Perhaps the next one
I'll talk about is our goal-
Keeper. He's quite short.
He's a bit like our
Captain, but less enthusi-
Astic if compared.
They also walk home
Together. And that's how we
Go home everyday.
I didn't think that
We would travel in time one
Day. But yes, we did.
We went through various
Time periods. It was fun. We
Also made a friend.
His name? Fei Rune.
He also had with him a
Blue mechanized bear.
And the reason for
Time traveling was to save
Soccer from fading.
You see, there were some
People who wanted to kill**
Soccer. Yeah, kill it.
We met enemies
That later became our friends.
Reciprocated.***
The next adventure
Led us in space; met aliens.
Yes, we really did!
It started when some
Players were chosen for the
FFIV2.
They represented
Our country in the soccer
Tournament this year.
But after that we
Found out that the whole thing was
A covering up!
Cover-up of what?
A tournament to solve a
Galactic problem.
There was a black hole
About to eat the planet
With the best soldiers.
Best soldiers meant that
They could easily invade
Any one planet.
But instead of war,
They decided to solve it
By playing soccer.
It was a wise move.
Because they didn't want war
To cause some bloodshed.
And guess what? Our Earth
Eleven won the matches!
Like before, new friends.
And the rest of the
Schoolyear was pretty normal.
Had practice matches.
Sometimes we would have
Visits from other players
Came from other schools.
I wished a life like
This would last. Sadly, all these
Things must come to pass.
Through graduation day,
It's very sad. Leaving the
Friends you've come to know.
You don't know when the
Next spring wind will blow. But, I
Hold them in my heart.
So that we will never part.
