Chapter 14

"Ai-chan, over here!" Ran called, jumping up and down in her seat, waving to the strawberry blonde. Ai nodded and made her way over to the bleachers. The two girls watched the coach round the team up for a pre-game peptalk. Ai caught a words along the lines of 'no 'i' in team'.

"There you are, Ai-chan!" Ai turned to see her sister holding three ice cream cones in her hands, looking much more cheerful than usual. She hands an ice cream to Ai and Ran each, and sat down next to them. Ai noticed that for once, no one is following Akemi, and smiled.

"Guess what?" Akemi said, lowering her voice slightly. "They're found out by the FBI. So I guess Shiho-chan can come home soon! Wait 'till you meet her!"

Ai nodded, biting her lip. "That's great.

The referee's whistle blew, signaling the start of the game.

"Hi you guys!" Shinichi yelled, waving at them, and is hit in the head by the coach.

"Concentrate, Kudo!"

Shinichi grinned and turned just in time to see someone pass the ball to him.

The crowd stands on their feet, cheering loudly. Ran gripped Ai's arm so hard that her nails lost color of blood, but Ai barely felt a thing.

"The score is even, 2-2, with Beika in control of the ball..." The loud, annoying voice of the announcer is saying. "... Look at Kudo go, folks! He's dribbling down center line, towards the goal, the central defender tries to block him, he has to do better than that, because Kudo sidestepped him with ease! But look at this now!"

Shinichi saw the goal ahead, and out of the corner of his eyes saw the freckles-covererd face of the huge, why-is-he-playing-soccer-and-not-training-for-sumo-wrestling member of the other team thrusting an elbow at his face. He fakes left, and dodged the blow easily, hearing the crowd hiss at the attempted foul.

"Man oh man! Kudo is now within scoring area, the goalie is out, and...GOAL!! The referee signaled the end, it's over! Beika won against Haido, 3 to 2, everyone!"

It was like something exploded in the crowd. Everyone jumped up, cheering at the top of their lungs.

"They won, Ai-chan! They won!" Ran yelled shaking Ai by the arm. And Ai found herself cheering and clapping as hard as everyone around her.

Another really short chapter. I apologize!! The next one would be longer, I swear... maybe... I think...
