I hope you guys like it so far. This chapter is good. Well depends how you view it…


Everyone stares at the place where Tachimukai was just standing. The hear the rain pound against the roof. They are all speechless.

"Endou…"

A voice breaks Endou from his spell. He looks to see Hikari crying. "Hikari?"

"We have to find him!" She exclaims.

"Right!" Endou starts. "Lets go!"

Everyone agrees and starts heading out to find their lost friend.

The managers decide to stay back just in case Tachimukai returns. Hikari joins the others in their search.

"Why would be do this?" Kazemaru asks.

"Because he feels left out." Hikari says.

"Yeah, but he didn't have to storm off like this." Kazemaru implies.

"Well how would you feel if you never get the chance to show how strong you have gotten or get the experience of taking part of a win."

Kazemaru looks down. Suddenly someone calls out, "I see him!"

Tachimukai was holding onto a tree. He was tried out from the running. He sees his teammates and resumes him running.

Tachimukai thinks to himself, I don't know why I am running. I just cant stop. I feel this is all I can do.

All of a sudden a voice sounds above the rain, "Tachimukai running isn't the only thing you can do!"

He looks back to see Hikari running behind him. Tachimukai reaches a dead end and turns to see everyone facing him.

Tachimukai drops and starts to cry, "I…I'm sorry guys. I…I just…"

"Tachimukai, its ok." Hikari says, "You know. I used to be a goalkeeper too."

Everyone gasps and Tachimukai looks up.

"I never got to play because the captain was the goalkeeper. Everyone thought I couldn't play because I was too young… too weak. Even though I practiced day in and day out, I never got to show them my light." Hikari says as she starts to cry, "That's why I became manager for the team. So I can feel like I have a place where people need me. So please Tachimukai. Please don't run away from your problems."

Tachimukai looks at her. He brings her into a hug. They both cried into each other until Endou said they should go.

They both got up and started to proceed back to the lodge. Hikari and Tachimukai were holding hands on the way.

Tachimukai looks at Hikari, "Hikari."

Hikari looks at Tachimukai, "Yes?"

"Thank You."

Hikari smiles softly at him as they reach the lodge and everyone dries off and retires for the night.
