Konnichiwa, minna-san~! OH MY GOSH FINALLY I CAN UPDATE THIS! /screams in joy/
You see, there was a local problem with my modem's provider, so it should be fixed and so I cannot connect my laptop to the world of internet. Well, I can still read and review fics through FFN Mobile, but I cannot update/publish anything, and late PMs -.-
And then, I just finished my tiring but memorable Student Orientation Period! So now I'm officially a senior high school student! Phew! XD
And the lessons have started even though I haven't received my textbooks!
I'm sorry for these! TwT

That night, after Ibuki approached him to ask for his help for the next day's practice, Tsurugi continued his practice alone, trying to increase his skills of kicking the ball to the goal.
The practice field was quiet, save for the sounds of the ball hitting the goal and his tired panting breaths. Even so, he continued practicing – when most of the team seemed unexcited to practice soccer, he had to keep working out for the world-level matches.
In between his exhausted breath, he suddenly remembered something – a figure of a girl with blue hair and blue eyes appeared in his mind – and a smile appeared on his face.
He then remembered the time when Kuroiwa-kantoku announced the introduction of the managers, he instinctively repeated the subject in an audible voice, "Manager?"
He remembered why; he was hoping that she would become Shinsei Inazuma Japan's manager – and when he saw Mizukawa Minori entered alone, his hopes died down for a while, before lighting up in an instant when the coach announced another manager was coming.
And how his spirit fired up when he heard her lovely, cheerful voice, and before he knew it, there she stood, in flesh and blood, the one and only Sorano Aoi.
He didn't run to her in explosion of excitement like Tenma did – of course, Tenma was more than happy to have his childhood and best friend as one of the managers – he just wasn't the type to do it.
But of course, it didn't lessen his joy a bit, knowing that she would be around him, watching and cheering at his practices and matches, and so he would always show the best for her.
And he also didn't want her to worry much about them team.
Like when they, along with Shindou and Tenma, heard the not-so-good review about Inazuma Japan after their first match, that doubted whether the team would be able to survive the qualification with their members' condition, she wondered rather sadly as to why Kuroiwa-kantoku chosed their current members, to which Tenma nodded, but he immediately answered that the team only needed one thing – he didn't blame the coach, he wanted to lessen her worry.
"Tsurugi-kun!"
And yes, that's how her lovely voice called him—wait, what?
Tsurugi instantly turned his head – to find Aoi running to him, with a smile on her face, a towel and a bottle drink on her hands.
And then, the next thing he knew was that a smile bigger than before formed on his face.
"Tsurugi-kun! You're not in your room, so I know you'll be here," She ran to him and stopped right next to him.
"You were looking for me?" Some nice feelings began dwelling inside him, as he received the bottle she offered and drank from it.
"Yeah, I found your room empty, and you're not in Shindou-senpai or Tenma's room, so you must be practicing here!" She answered with a smile as he handed the bottle back to her.
"Oh… Why are you looking for me? Is there anything I can help you with?" Tsurugi asked as he prepared himself to shoot.
"Well, if you were in your room resting, then there's no problem," suddenly Aoi was already standing in front of Tsurugi, hands on hips – blocking his view, and that stopped him from making another shoot. "But since you're here, practicing like this… I have something to say—"
"—that you need to rest, Tsurugi-kun." Aoi's face was suddenly right in front of his.
"What?" Tsurugi immediately jerked his face back in surprise.
"You need to rest. You've been practicing all day, and see all those sweats," And after she said that, Tsurugi felt the towel's surface caressing his face, held by Aoi's hands.
Tsurugi was quite grateful that the towel prevented Aoi to have a good look on his face – otherwise she must have noticed the obvious red shades on it.
So he just stood there, letting Aoi wash up the sweats off his face and neck. Once her fingers accidentally touched his face – it felt so soft and warm… his skin was so cold at the moment, even though he was sure his face was kinda boiling red.
"There, you're dry! Now go back to your room, and don't forget to clean yourself first, Tsurugi-kun!" Aoi commanded.
"Yes, yes, Ms. Manager," Tsurugi chuckled at Aoi's motherly-tone. "I'm on it."
"That's very nice!" Aoi huffed in satisfaction.
"And will you clean those up?" Tsurugi pointed to the balls lying before the goalpost.
"Oh, yes I'll do it! You just clean yourself up and rest for tomorrow's practice!" Aoi was about to give the towel and the bottle for Tsurugi to hold, before suddenly, all of the balls had flew over to the keeping-net, the place where it should be kept for the night.
"Eh?" Aoi turned her head to the grinning Tsurugi, whose right leg was still lifted up. "H-Hey, I said I'll pick them up!"
"Sorry, I can't obey to that," He smirked. "The field's clean, and as Ms. Manager ordered, I'll be going back now."
"Argh, Tsurugi-kun!" Aoi exclaimed, ready to protest before Tsurugi's voice cut that off.
"Oyasumi, Ms. Manager." With that, he smiled as he passed her.
"Oyasumi, Tsurugi-kun." And with a smile too, she followed him out of the practice field.
Well, mission accomplished, Ms. Manager! The black striker's were going to rest, and plus, you also succeeded on making him blushing red!~
Ohohoho~ done! There we have it, a KyouAoi!~ X3
I can't believe this one is also based on the fourth episode… /That is one special episode/
And the title is getting more random… /sigh/
… And by the way, did I make Tsurugi too cheesy or something… Hah… /Ihopenot
So, next up: TakuFem!Ran
(And btw, I feel like I'm announcing the next episode… as it's done in the ending of every single IE episode. Imagine me saying that in Endou or Tenma's voice XD)
And as usual request is always open~ and also, I'm putting the stuffs like pending requests about this fic in my profile, for sake of practical list.
Anyways… please review? :3
