So heres another chapter. Sorry it took so long…my teachers decided to pile a lot of homework on us this week.

Everyone is practicing, Endou is in bed sick…and Tachimukai is wavering about the upcoming match that is in two days.

"Oy, Tachimukai just relax!" Tsunami yells to the little goalkeeper, "You'll be fine, just believe in yourself!"

Tachimukai looks up at him, "Hai…"

Tsunami, Kabeyama, Kurimatsu and Kogure are helping Tachimukai complete MAOU THE HAND. But so far its not going so well.

Tachimukai looks like he is tensing up with every ball that is kicked at him. He starts to space out…Can I really do this? I haven't completed MAOU THE HAND…but there is no one else who could do it…

"Tachimukai! What out!" a voice sounds.

The ball hits Tachimukai sending him flying into the net.

His friends and Hikari comes running to see if he is ok.

"Tachimukai? Are you alright?" Hikari asks worryingly.

"Ye…yeah. Sorry for worrying you?" Tachimukai says.

"Alright everyone that practice for today!" Kidou sounds.

Tachimukai starts heading up until, "Tachimukai are you sure your ok?"

Tachimukai turns around to see Hikari, "Yeah I am fine… tired."

He turns and heads back up. For the rest of the night he didn't eat dinner…he was too nervous and he couldn't even sleep, so he heads outside and sits staring at the field trying to calm himself down.

"Can I do this?" He says talking to the field.

"Of course you can." A voice sounds behind him. He turns to see Hikari. She smiles and sits next to him.

"Hi, couldn't sleep?" She asks.

"Yeah…" He says with a distant sound.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes…"

"Tachimukai…I know your not alright so stop denying it."

Tachimukai looks at her.

"Listen…" She starts, she lays down looking at the stars, Tachimukai follows, "Look at the stars…they are like our dreams," she says reaching her hand out, "They are so far away, but if we believe in ourselves," she closes her hand as if grasping something, "then we can reach it…" she then gets up and leaves Tachimukai.

Tachimukai ponders what she says. He gets then gets up and shakes his head. As if shaking all of his worries away. And then heads back to his room.

I can do this…

Yay chapter 5 done… kinda bad I know. But its epic next few chapters. it's the game against ARGINTINA! It might take me a while with those chapters.
