Past: Fubuki Izumi is the younger daughter of Fubuki Shirou and Ushiroimiya Mikoto. One day, she was training on the soccer field along with the others and an avalanche suddenly came out of nowhere. Everybody ran off the field as fast as they could. Only Izumi tripped and the avalanche covered her. Yukimura saved her and ever since, she's in love with him.

Izumi's P.O.V.

''Over here!'' I shouted, while I received the ball from Oujika, the defender.

I quickly ran up forward and looked for Yukimura.

''Yukimura-sempai!'' I shouted, because he was one class higher than me.

Yukimura took the ball and ran towards the goal.

''Panther Blizzard!'' He shouted, while he shot the ball towards Shirosaki, our goalkeeper.

He dived for it, but was too late. The ball made it in.

''Sugoi, Yukimura-sempai!'' I said shy.

I normally didn't dare to speak to him, but it just… already got out of my mouth before I knew it. I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and felt embarrassed. Yukimura turned around and gave a thumbs up at me. Butterflies flew in my stomach and a giant blush appeared on my cheeks.

''Sugoi, minna.'' Fubuki Shirou, my father and our coach said to us.

We all smiled back.

''I'm sure we're coming far in this Holy Road tournament.'' He said determined.

''Hai!'' The team replied.

I smiled bright. I was so thrilled that we made it this far with the team.

''Ano… Fubuki-kantoku?'' Yukimura asked.

''Yes?'' Shirou replied with a smile.

''Can you help me improve after practice?'' He asked a bit shy.

Shirou smiled.

''Of course!'' He said.

I saw Yukimura's face lighten up. I felt happy for him. I would do anything to help Yukimura improve, but I knew I wasn't good enough. In the beginning, people had their suspicions about me, because I was just 'The daughter of the coach'. But I've proven myself against them. And now, they respected me.

''Minna, practice is over. There's hot chocolate in the clubhouse.'' Shirou said.

''Sugoi!'' The team replied.

I went over to my private dressing room, because I was a girl. I quickly changed to my light blue, comfy sweater, white sweatpants and brown snow boots. It was snowing outside and really cold. The team made his way to the clubhouse, except for my dad and Yukimura. I was too curious to miss it, so I let my chance of hot chocolate slip and watched practice from a save distance. My eyes lightened up by seeing Yukimura getting trained privately by my dad. He really took care of Yukimura. I smiled bright. Then, I heard a loud noise coming from above me. It sounded a lot like an…

''AVALANCHE!'' I squealed in fear.

I crouched on the floor, squeezed my eyes and I trembled of fear. I waited for the snow to come, but instead, I felt two arms embracing me. I looked scared up.

''Shhtt… It's all right. It was just a bird who flew up right above you.'' Yukimura said soothing, while he helped me up again.

I still felt his arms around me and it caused a huge blushed on my cheeks.

''A-Arigato, Yukimura-sempai.'' I said to him, while I was still trembling of fear.

My father walked towards me.

''Are you okay?'' He asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah, gomen. I thought it was an avalanche again.'' I said to him.

My father looked worried.

''You really took over that fear of me.'' He said.

I sighted.

''Because we both had an accident with it.'' I replied to him.

My father hugged me tightly.

''It's all right now.'' He said.

Because of the hug, Yukimura had to let go of his arms around me, which made me pout a bit.

''Come on, let's go inside.'' Yukimura said.

We went inside and enjoyed a hot cup of chocolate. I nipped of it, while I watched outside the window. Then, something caught my eye. I saw something shining in the middle of the snow. I discovered it was the silver necklace I once got from my mom.

''My necklace.'' I said, while I stood up.

''Izumi, no! It's to dangerous to go outside now! The snow storm is getting too heavy.'' My father said to me.

I ignored him and walked outside. I barely could see a thing, because the snow was blurring my sight. I walked towards the spot where I saw the necklace lying down. With a relieved feeling, I picked it up and hung it around my neck.

''Thank god.'' I said with a smile to myself.

Then, I heard a huge rumble.

''It's just a bird.'' I said to myself.

I slowly walked back to the clubhouse. There, I saw petrified faces who were staring at me out of the windows. I looked confused, turned around and noticed the big, wave of snow rumbling towards me.

''KYAAA!'' I shouted, before I was getting covered.

Then, everything went black.

''Izumi-san! Izumi-san!'' I heard someone shout my name.

I slowly opened my eyes and mines met Yukimura's.

''Yu-Yukimura!'' I shouted with a blush.

Yukimura smiled bright.

''Thank god you're okay!'' He said.

It was then that I noticed that I was lying on his lap. We were still outside in the snowstorm, only he dug me out of the snow.

''I feel a little lightheaded.'' I said.

Then, I fainted again. The next moment I woke up, I lay on a couch with a thick blanket by a fireplace.

''I'm in the clubhouse.'' I recognized the surroundings.

Then, I noticed some was sitting beside me. It was my father.

''Izumi!'' He said happily, while he hugged me tightly.

''Daddy!'' I replied, while I hugged back.

I felt tears form in my eyes.

''I was so scared.'' I said soft, when a tear rolled down my cheek.

My father wiped him away.

''Don't worry. It's okay now.'' He said with a smile.

''But still…'' I said.

Then, I noticed all the other team members standing around the couch.

''Oi, Izumi-san? Are you feeling better?'' Yukimura asked concerned.

I nodded.

''Yes… Only a headache.'' I replied, while I grabbed my head painfully with my hand.

He smiled.

''Thank god, you're not injured.'' My father said.

I smiled.

''Yeah, I'm glad too.'' I said.

Yukimura reached me a cup of hot chocolate.

''Here, drink. It will help you warm up.'' He said.

I took the cup from him over, while accidentally touching his hands. It made a blush appear on my cheek.

''A-Arigato.'' I said.

''Minna, let's go home already.'' My father said.

''Hai!'' We all replied.

We left the clubhouse and me and my father drove away to home.

''There you are!'' Ushiroimiya Mikoto, aka my mother said to me and my father.

''Hi sweetie.'' Shirou said, while he pecked Miki on the cheek.

''I'm just cooking dinner.'' My mom said.

''What are we eating?'' I asked.

''Fish and chips, an English dish.'' She said.

I smiled bright. When we ate dinner, we told mom about the avalanche. She looked shocked.

''Gosh, are you all right, honey?'' She asked me.

I nodded.

''Yeah, I'm feeling fine.'' I replied, while I ate a piece of my fish.

My mother sighted.

''I'm so scared of those avalanches.'' She said.

''We all three are.'' My father replied.

I smiled.

''But we're all save, right?'' I asked.

My parents smiled at me. After dinner, I helped my mother with the dishes. I gave her and my father a bed and told them that I went upstairs to take a shower and then would go to bed. My mother nodded.

''I completely understand that you're tired.'' She said.

''Well, good night, honey!'' My father said.

''Good night!'' I replied to my parents.

Then, I went upstairs, took a hot shower, brushed my teeth, changed into my pajamas and crawled in my bed. It was cold in my room. I pulled the thick blanket tighter around me and closed my eyes. Then, I fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up early, because we had to practice for the match against Raimon Junior High.

''Good morning!'' I shouted happily, when I walked downstairs.

''Ohayo!'' My mother replied.

I looked around confused.

''Where's dad?'' I asked.

''He's … away.'' My mother replied dim.

''What do you mean, away?'' I asked confused.

''Let's say… that he's not coming back for a while.'' My mother said with a smile.

I looked scared.

''He isn't… dead, right?'' I asked her.

My mother looked shocked.

''No, no! Of course not!'' She replied.

I sighted in relief.

''Thank god. I was starting to think about bad things.'' I said.

My mother bite her lip.

''Mom, is something wrong?'' She asked.

My mother sighted.

''Sit down, honey.'' She said.

I sat down on the couch. My mother looked serious at me.

''Listen, Izumi. Your father has been… erased from the team.'' She said sadly.

I looked shocked.

''Nane?'' I shouted. ''Why?''

''Fifth Sector.'' My mom replied, while she shook her head.

''Why so sudden?'' I asked her.

''I don't know for sure, but they said that they saw some potention in some of Hakuren their players. They replaced him by another coached and asked him to leave immediately. There's nothing he could do.'' My mom said.

''So… where is he now?'' I asked mom.

My mother sat down with tears in her eyes.

''I don't know, sweetie.'' She said, while she fetched a tissue.

She wiped away her tears.

''The only thing he left was a piece of paper.'' She said.

I walked towards the kitchen table and fetched the piece of paper.

''Dear love and daughter, I'll be leaving for a while. Fifth Sector has replaced me and asked me to leave. I'm currently investigating what I can do about it. They said they had seen some potentional players in our team, so took over the club. You'll see me back soon. Bye, for now. Your dear husband and father Shirou.'' I red out loud.

Tears formed in my eyes.

''Daddy…'' I said.

Then, I started to cry along with my mother.

''Shhtt… It will be okay.'' My mother said soothing to me, while she was still crying herself.

I nodded.

''Then… I'll go to practice now.'' I said.

She nodded.

''Good luck.'' She whispered.

I nodded.

''Arigato.'' I replied.

I putted on my jacket and left the house. I walked towards the soccer field and already saw a few others standing.

''Ohayo, Izumi-san.'' The members greeted me.

''Ohayo…'' I replied sad back.

''Oi, what's wrong?'' Koori Itsuki, a midfielder asked me.

''Nothing…'' I replied.

I wasn't in the mood to talk.

''Hey, where's kantoku?'' Itetsuki Touma, a forward asked.

''He's… not coming.'' I replied.

''What? Why not?'' The team asked me.

I sighted.

''He has been replaced as coach by Fifth Sector.'' I explained.

The team looked shocked. At least they understand. I thought. But I was wrong.

''How could he let himself get replaced?'' Yukimura shouted angry.

''He's our kantoku! He wouldn't let that happen that easily!'' Makari Ginjirou, a defender said.

''Minna, you don't understand!'' I shouted, but they ignored me.

''He just left us behind.'' Touya Kunihiro, a midfielder said pissed.

''He didn't care about us at all.'' Rumoi Korohiko hissed.

''He just betrayed us!'' Yukimura shouted angry.

He bald his fists.

''Minna, you're wrong!'' I shouted.

''Don't try to defend him!'' Yukimura shouted angry.

His whole attitude towards me changed. I felt a cold clash appear between us.

''Minna…'' I whispered.

''All right, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's go on with the new coach they got us.'' Shirosaki Katsuya, our captain and goalkeeper said.

Everybody sighted. Then, a big, chubby man appeared.

''Greetings. I'm your new coach from now on. Call me Kumazaki-kantoku.'' He said with a grin.

''Thanks for taking care of us.'' The team said, while they bowed.

They all still felt angry because of the betrayal that Shirou gave them. Everyone, except for me. I looked around really worried.

''Minna…'' I whispered once again.

''Let me say one thing to you.'' Our new coach said.

Everybody looked at him seriously.

''Your old pathetic coach, Fubuki Shirou betrayed you all. He just easily let himself remove. He didn't make you stronger. Fifth Sector WILL make you all stronger. They can bring out your full potention and let you all shine. That can only happen if you do exactly what we say. Don't you all want to be stronger and crush Raimon Junior High?'' Coach asked us.

''AAH!'' Everybody shouted in agreement, except for me.

I felt myself slightly getting scared. This wasn't going to go well.

''Remember, Fifth Sector would NEVER betray you.'' Coach said.

Everybody felt confident again and thanked the coach.

''Arigato, kantoku.'' Everybody said, while they bowed once again.

Our new coach grinned. I glared at Yukimura and saw that his eyes were full of fire. He was determined to crush Raimon. Of course. I thought. My father's department must hurt him the most. I sighted. Yukimura was really close with my father and their bond grew even stronger, after my father always helped him after soccer practice. Even yesterday, when he asked for it again. He must feel horrible now.

''Oi, Yukimura.'' I said to him.

''Are you going to talk about your dumbass father again?'' He asked me with a mean look.

I quickly shot my mouth.

''No… never mind. It's nothing.'' I said, while I sadly walked away.

I felt his hate towards me grow.

''It's not my fault…'' I whispered.

The next days, we were getting trained very rough. Everyday after practice, all my muscles in my body hurt. But I do had to admit that I was getting stronger. Some players of my team even managed to bring out an Avatar.

''Sugoi…'' I whispered.

On the day before the match with Raimon Junior High, even Yukimura succeeded to call out an Avatar.

''Good work, Yukimura. You're really talented.'' Coach said.

It already caught my eye that kantoku was praising Yukimura a lot these days. It looked like he was his apple of his eye. I sighted. Not that I cared about it, but I thought it was strange. There were other people who brought out their Avatar earlier than Yukimura, but coach didn't praised that as much as he did by Yukimura.

''All right, minna. That was practice for today. Remember that we have our match tomorrow against Raimon Junior High. I want you all to be here early, so we can go to the train station on time.'' Coach said.

''Hai!'' We all replied.

When we walked off the field, I quickly ran towards Yukimura.

''Congratulations! You brought out your Avatar!'' I said to him.

''I don't need your compliments.'' He said cool to me.

I looked shocked at him and laid my hand against his chest, which made him stop.

''Why are you acting so mean towards me?'' I asked him seriously.

''Let go off me!'' He shouted, while he removed my hand irritated.

''Yukimura…'' I said, while I watched him walk away.

Then I sighted and returned home depressed.

-Time skip. The next day. Train station-

''Did everybody gathered?'' Coach Kumazaki asked.

''Hai!'' Everybody replied.

Then, we stepped on the train. I already saw the Raimon Junior High members in the train. Then, my eyes widened. I saw my father!

''Oto-san!'' I shouted, while I ran in front of him.

I didn't car that there was a piece of glass between us. My father smiled at me. I knew he couldn't here me, but I saw that he could reads my lips as I shouted out his name. I returned to my seat and the train started to ride. That was the moment I realized that my father was sitting on the side of Raimon Junior High. He's our opponent.

''You see, he's a dirty traitor.'' Our coach said, as he pointed at my father on the other side of the train.

Everybody looked dirty at my father and it made me feel depressed. In the mean time, all of the Raimon Junior High players were examining us. We did the same thing too. I smiled at a boy, who was sitting in front of me. I saw the red captains band on his left upper arm. Then, the train stopped.

''We're here.'' Our captain said.

''I'm curious what the stadium would be like.'' Yukimura continued.

I just sighted and followed the other towards the entrance. In the hallway, I rubbed my arms, because it was really cold. Then, I saw it. The entire stadium was made of ice.

''And there are the teams!'' I heard the announcer shout. ''Welcome everybody at the Snowland Stadium!''

I looked around with a surprised look. Even the field was made of ice.

''That's an advantage for us.'' Itou Torata, a defender said.

I looked to the other side where my father was sitting on the bench, along with Endou Mamoru, Kidou Yuuto and Otonashi Haruna. I recognized them from TV.

''Izumi-san! Time for warm-up!'' Coach said irritated to me.

I let the team wait.

''Hai!'' I replied quickly, while I warmed up.

Then, the referee entered the field and beckoned the teams to enter the field as well. We all stood in our position, while the captains of both teams shook hands in front of the referee. Raimon was getting the kick-off and our captain returned to his goal.

''Minna, do your best!'' He shouted at us.

''Hai!'' We all replied.

I glared in front of me and discovered a determined Yukimura. He kept glaring at my father with that angry look. It made me feel sad and quiet. The whistle woke me up from my daydream.

''Minna, ike!'' Our captain shouted.

Raimon was at the ball, but clearly had troubles with the ice field. The kept sliding and falling, so my team picked up the lost ball.

''Izumi!'' Kitaki Tsuneo shouted, while he passed the ball towards me.

I received the ball and ran further. A player of Raimon tried to steal my ball, but he slept away and fell on his butt.

''Yukimura-sempai!'' I shouted, while I kicked the ball in his direction.

He ran further and stopped in front of the goal.

''Panther Blizzard!'' He shouted, while he shot the ball.

It made it into the goal and everybody on my team looked happy. For a strange reason, I didn't felt happy. I saw my teammates changes in Fifth Sector machines, who only cared about winning and not about how enjoyable soccer is.

''Minna…'' I whispered once again.

I knew I had to do something. I didn't want my dear friends to fall in hands of Fifth Sector.

''Izumi, pay attention!'' Our captain shouted.

I totally didn't realize that the game already continued.

''Gomen!'' I shouted, while I chased after the ball.

I felt so… weird. Like I didn't want to play soccer. I managed to steal the ball and shot it back at Yukimura. He released his Avatar and made a shot. It made it into the goal. In the mean time, I saw the shocked faces on the bench of Raimon. Especially my father. Then, he smiled at Yukimura. He returned a mean glare.

''Dirty traitor.'' He mumbled.

''No, you're wrong!'' I shouted at him.

He pointed his eyes at me.

''Shut up!'' He yelled at me.

I felt tears forming in your eyes.

''You've changed, Yukimura.'' I said, with tears in my voice.

This caused him to soften his look at me.

''What do you mean?'' He asked, still irritated.

''Don't tell me you didn't noticed yourself. Fifth Sector is using you, for your strength. And that only to make my father sad and to crush Raimon, so the revolution will be stopped. You mean nothing to them. And my father never betrayed us. This is the exact reason why he was removed. Because he refused to crush Raimon.'' I shouted at him, while tears ran down my cheeks.

Yukimura looked at me with a confused look.

''Izumi…'' He said.

''The only thing you do is acting mean towards others.'' I continued my story. ''The only thing you want is revenge on my father, because you think he let you down. But he didn't! And I explained that to you from the very beginning. But you wouldn't believe me. You just shouted at me, ignored me, yelled at me, scold at me! Don't I mean anything to you?''

Yukimura's eyes widened. I was sobbing and looked desperate at him.

''I guess not.'' I said.

Then, the whistle was blown to indicate that the first half was over. I ran off the field in tears. I locked myself up in my dressing room and started to cry.

''He will never understand…'' I said to myself.

Then, I heard someone knocking on my door.

''Go away!'' I shouted, still crying.

''Izumi, let me in! Now!'' I heard Yukimura's strict voice.

My eyes widened.

''Yukimura?'' I asked.

I opened the door. He stepped inside and grabbed me by my shoulders, which scared me.

''How can you say all those things!'' He shouted at me.

I squeezed my eyes out of fear.

''Let me go!'' I shouted.

Yukimura looked determined at him.

''How can you say that you don't do anything to me.'' He said soft.

I looked surprised at him.

''N-Nane?'' I stammered.

He sighted and let go of me.

''Listen, Izumi. I don't want to fight with you.'' He said, while he sat down on a bench. I sat next to him.

''Me neither. But you won't believe me.'' I said.

''I believe you know!'' He replied to me.

I looked shocked.

''I know about kantoku being bad, I know about your father being replaced and I know I'm being used.'' He said. ''It's finally making sense. I only needed someone to shout it right in my face.''

I blushed.

''That would be me…'' I mumbled red.

He smiled.

''And I'm thankful for that. Because of you, I realized all those things now. And Izumi, I could never hurt you. You know that.'' He continued.

I blushed.

''Besides, you need me to save you when you're getting covered by an avalanche again.'' He said with a grin.

I laughed and pushed him.

''Oh, what would I be without you.'' I said.

''Probably dead.'' Yukimura replied.

''And heartbroken.'' I continued.

I quickly covered my mouth with my hands. The shy me finally said it. My quiet, shy me finally gave a hint to him.

''Heartbroken?'' Yukimura asked me confused, while he raised an eyebrow.

''Forget it!'' I said quickly, while I waved my hands.

I turned bright red. Yukimura grinned.

''You're red.'' He said.

''I'm not!'' I denied, but I knew that he knew that I was lying.

''Come on, Izumi. Why are you so red?'' He asked.

''Because of you, I guess.'' I replied.

I covered my mouth again. I said something like 'that' again.

''Nane?'' Yukimura asked me.

''Let's go back to the field. They're probably waiting for us.'' I said, while I stood up.

I tried to walk away, but Yukimura quickly grabbed my wrist, turned me around, stood up and pulled me closer to him.

''No, I don't let you leave.'' He whispered in my ear, when he pulled me in a tight embrace.

''Yu-Yukimura!'' I said.

''Sshh…'' He shushed me.

My face went as red as it possibly could be, I felt warm and there were flying butterflies in my stomach.

''Why are you doing this?'' I whispered at him.

''You still don't understand?'' He asked me.

''No…'' I replied to him.

''Baka… I love you!'' He said, while he pushed me away a bit, so he could look into my eyes.

''Na-Nane yo?'' I shouted in disbelieve.

A blush appeared on my cheeks. He nodded.

''And if I'm guessing right, you're in love with me.'' He said.

I turned my glare down to the ground.

''I ehmm… well… uhmm… yes.'' I said soft.

He smiled. I shivered. It was cold inside the dressing room.

''Are you cold?'' He asked me worried.

I nodded.

''Yeah, kinda.'' I replied.

''Here's something that will warm you up.'' He said, while he pulled me closer.

Suddenly, I felt his lips pressing against mine. It turned out in a lip lock. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the kiss, while I felt myself almost explode out of happiness.

''Better?'' Yukimura asked me soft, while he pulled back.

I nodded with a huge blush.

''Much better.'' I replied.

Then, he grabbed my hand and we both walked back towards the field.
