Roze: the Unemori Twins does not own IE and the main plot belongs to jameis thank you
The next day or the day before Endou and the Little Gigante members leaves to Cotarl. Endou was in his or Rococo's room pacing back and forth deep in thought, while Rococo was just staring at the pacing Endou and packing his stuff in the same time.
"What are you doing Mamoru?" Rococo finally asked. Though it seems like Endou didn't hear any of what Rococo had said. "Mamoru… Mamoru…? MAMORU...! ENDOU MAMORU!" Rococo called out.
"WAH!" Endou yelped, lost his balance and fell on the floor.
"M-Mamoru!" Rococo said and helped Endou sit up. "Are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine but why did you shout all of a sudden?" Endou asked.
"Oh right, come on get up" Rococo said standing up and pulling Endou by his arms.
"Wha- where are you taking me?" Endou asked while he was being pulled by Rococo.
"To town, today is our last day here in Japan and I want a tour around the town since I never really got to go to town and all" Rococo said still pulling Endou's arm.
"O-oh…" Endou said.
"And besides some time together might make you consider joining Little Gigante…" Rococo muttered to himself quietly with a small blush on his cheeks.
"Did you say something?" Endou asked.
"Nope! Now come on!" Rococo said with a smile, he pulled Endou and began to walk slightly faster.
"He-hey!" Endou yelled.
Just then Drago, Goushu and Ryuu were passing by and saw Rococo pulling Endou away. "Hey, Rococo, Endou…" Ryuu said.
"Hey" Rococo said and kept going while Endou didn't even have the time to say hi since he was still being pulled by Rococo.
"I can't believe it… he actually took my advice literally…" Drago said.
"Wait what? Drago what did you tell our Captain...?" Ryuu asked suspiciously.
"Well Rococo seemed like he needed some advice on something and so thinking it was a problem in love, I gave him an advice that he should just man up and ask the person to go around the town with him by saying that he wanted a tour of the town or he would, forceful, pull that person to town with him anyway and after telling him, he shook my hand, hard, thanked me and he just ran off to his room looking more cheered up… but I didn't know that it was about coach's grandson…" Drago explained.
"Since when do you give out love advices isn't that usually for girls?" Goushu asked, giving him the weird look. "Come on Ryuu we shouldn't go near him, he's turning gay… we might turn gay too if we stay here with him too long" he said as he grabbed Ryuu's arm and walked away.
"Uhmm… I never knew gayness was contagious…" Ryuu said.
"HEY I'M NOT GAY!" Drago yelled as they stopped after seeing Daisuke grinning slightly.
Goushu and Ryuu was wondering what Daisuke was grinning about and finally thought he was just grinning because Rococo and Endou was going on a DATE… "WHA!" they both shouted.
"Hm? What's wrong with you two?" Daisuke asked.
"Uhmm… nothing!" Goushu said, grabbing Ryuu's arm and running away from Daisuke as fast as they could.
"What is wrong with them?" Daisuke asked out loud and walked away.
(Meanwhile)
Endou and Rococo has been wondering around the whole town for over thirty minutes and it seems like Rococo would sometimes wonder off, it was a good thing Endou knew the town well or else he wouldn't be able to figure out where Rococo would go.
"OI Rococo, stop wondering around!" Endou yelled as Rococo was about to wonder off once more.
"Huh? Oh sorry it's just that this town is so lively and I'm kinda eager to go around!" Rococo said excitedly. 'Though the truth is I'm just kinda scared to be alone with you…' Rococo thought blushing slightly.
"Well anyway Rococo where do you exactly want to go?" Endou asked.
"Hmmm… what about the amusement park near here I heard the roller coaster is really fun" Rococo smiled.
Endou blinked twice and stared at Rococo's smiling face for a moment and smiled himself, "Alright then the roller coaster it is!" Endou said and grabbed Rococo's wrist, this time it was Endou's turn to pull Rococo and lead the way.
It only took them five minutes till they arrived at the amusement park. Both of them looked around for a moment and went to sit at the front of the roller coaster ride. Not a minute later the coaster started to move and go up and when they reached the top it went down really fast. Endou seemed to have been scared and yelped out a few times but Rococo just kept his eyes closed and was screaming until he heard Endou say that there was something in front and when Rococo looked then the next thing he knew it they splashed in water and the ride kept going until it finally stopped. Both Rococo and Endou gave a sigh of relief and went off of the ride, but Rococo accidentally tripped and was about to fall until Endou caught him before he fell flat on his face.
"Are you alright Rococo?" Endou asked.
"Huh? Who me? Y-yeah I-I'm fine" Rococo stuttered his face turning red once more as he took his balance.
"Uh…ok" Endou said as they began to wonder around the amusement park.
(LATER!)
They both had finished riding almost every ride there was at the amusement park and had left. Next they both just began to wonder around the town, stopping in a sports shop, relaxing in a coffee shop and they even watched a movie. Now they were just on their way back to the camp since it was getting pretty late.
"So Rococo did you have some fun today?" Endou asked on their way but got no response. "Rococo?" he asked once more but got no answer and wondered why he didn't get any response, he looked back thinking he would see his fellow goal keeper friend just there following him from behind, but to his surprise Rococo was gone again! "R-Rococo!" Endou shouted and began to run around the town looking for his, now lost, friend.
"ROCOCO!" Endou shouted from time to time looking for his friend going back to where they were last together and thought where he could be. Endou stopped to catch his breath he has been running for a whole hour and the sun was begging to set 'Where could he be?' he thought. Endou was now at the park and was sitting on a bench and, for once, he was actually thinking where Rococo might be then he suddenly thought about the steel tower. "I guess I can try to go there…" he said to himself and almost walked away until he found two figures in front of him, he looked up to see who it was and saw two girls who had somewhat teary eyes and small smiles on their faces.
"Endou-kun!" shouted Aki.
"A-Aki, Haruna…" Endou said blinking twice.
"Endou-san I can't believe you were alive!" Haruna said.
"We came back for you an hour after they abandoned you but you were nowhere to be found so we were worried" Aki said.
"I see sorry…" Endou apologized.
"It's ok we're just glad that you seem to be fine now…so…when are you coming back?" Aki asked making Endou flinch for a moment.
"Aki…Haruna…I'm…not coming back to Raimon…" Endou said looking down.
Both Aki and Haruna's eyes went wide at the answer. "Y-you're not coming back?" Aki asked.
"What do you mean Endou-san?" Haruna asked as well.
"It's as it is… I'm not coming back to Raimon anymore…I'm going out of the country…" Endou said.
"WHERE? WHEN!" Shouted Aki with tears and sadness in her voice.
"Tomorrow… ten o'clock… to Cotarl…with Jii-chan…" Endou replied.
"Why…RAIMON NEEDS YOU!" Haruna shouted.
"No they don't…tell me who replaced me as captain? Who is your new goal keeper? Can you guys tell me what happened after I left?" Endou asked.
"Well…Onii-chan is the new Captain…Tachimukai-kun came to our school yesterday and so did Kogure-kun, Tsunami-kun, Fubuki-san, Touko-san and Rika-san…those people who has been collapsing lately got the result and it wasn't because of any sickness just over use of energy…" Haruna said
"So far it seems good things have happened after I left…" Endou said and stood up.
"Endou-kun…but after the results there were people who wants you back like Tachimukai-kun, Tsunami-kun, Fubuki-kun, Touko-chan and Rika-chan, Kabeyama-kun, Kurimatsu-kun, Handa-kun, Max-kun and even Kazemaru-kun!" Aki shouted.
"I'm sorry Aki but I made my decision…from now on I want you to erase my name from the list of members… pretend I was never part of Raimon… if you'll excuse me I need to find my teammate and Captain now…" Endou said with a smile and ran off.
"Wait Endou-kun! Teammate, Captain? Who are you talking about?" Aki yelled.
"Let's meet again but next we will be in opposing teams! LOOK OUT FOR LITTLE GIGANT! I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING SOCCER AGAINST YOU GUYS!" Endou yelled back and continued running towards the steel tower.
Aki and Haruna both stood there shocked on what they heard. Endou was going out of the country…dropping out of soccer in Raimon and was already in a new team… they couldn't believe it Endou wasn't coming back…he's never coming back and they will never see Endou's smile ever again, the smile that kept everyone going the smile of a soccer idiot… it was all going to be gone at tomorrow, at ten.
"I can't believe it…do you think he's really leaving?" Haruna asked.
"I…don't know…I don't know" Aki said a tear escaping her eyes.
(Meanwhile)
Rococo had been slightly wondering lost after he had realized that he had once again wondered off by himself when he saw a little boy who was crying because he had lost his balloon and had been trying to cheer up the little boy. Once he succeeded he turned to see where he was and found out he was no longer with Endou, but that wasn't the worst part, the worst part was the fact that he was lost in a place he hardly knew and had ran around in different directions trying to find his way back though that made him end up exhausted and more lost than ever. "I should really stop wondering around on my own…" He thought as he went up some stairs, that lead to the steel tower which attracted him for a while. "NOT EVEN HERE!" Rococo suddenly heard someone shout and soon recognized who it was. "Mamoru!" Rococo shouted and ran up the remaining stairs and there he found Endou sitting on the bench.
"Rococo!" Endou shouted and ran to his friend. "Where have you been do you know I ran around half the town to find you?" He asked.
"Yeah…uhm…sorry it's just that I saw this kid and he was crying so I wanted to cheer him up but I ended up being lost after…" Rococo explained.
"Well at least I found you" Endou said sighing in relief.
Rococo just smiled at the other boy and looked to the side where he found a good sight of the town and the setting sun. "Wow this place has a nice view" Rococo said.
"Yeah I know it's my favorite place in town…" Endou said.
Rococo was still admiring the view until something caught his eyes, "is that…" Rococo said and ran up to something, it was the tire that was hug up a tree.
"Huh? Oh that you see I used this place as my training place and I usually go here after soccer practice" Endou said and walked over to the tire.
"I see…you know back in Cotarl I also train using a tire just like this" Rococo said.
"Really…I bet Jii-chan taught you how huh?" Endou said.
"Yeah Daisuke helped me with my training this whole time…" Rococo said and looked at Endou.
"Hm? What's wrong Rococo?" asked Endou.
"Nothing it's just that…are you sure you're alright with leaving to Cotarl with us?" Rococo asked his face turning into a mixture of seriousness and worry.
"…Yeah I am…this place gives me so much memory but I guess I could always make new ones once I leave this place and when I start to join my new team…besides I'm sure I'm bound to come back here someday…" Endou said.
"Mamoru…huh? Wait Mamoru did you say "join my new team" just then?" Rococo asked quite shocked.
"Huh? What are you talking about, yeah I decided I'm to join Little Gigant when I arrive in Cotarl…so uhmm… I guess I'll be in your care Captain" Endou said his hand on the back of his head.
Rococo looked at him in shock for a moment and soon smiled at the thought that Endou was going to join them. "Right!" Rococo said happily.
"HEY ROCOCO!" someone shouted.
"Huh? Did anyone call me?" Rococo wondered and looked around for the source of the person who called him.
"Over here!" the person shouted from the stairs.
Both Rococo and Endou shifted their eyes to the stairs and saw Goushu and Ryuu running towards them.
"Goushu, Ryuu what are you guys doing here?" Rococo asked.
"It's Daisuke he told us to go look for you guys since it's getting late and you guys weren't back yet" Goushu said.
"Oh Jii-chan did?" Endou asked.
"Yup so we better head back" Ryuu said.
"Alright come on Rococo" Endou said and grabbed Rococo by his wrist and started to run towards the stairs.
"Uh… ok" Rococo said his face turning red.
"Goushu did you notice that Rococo's been blushing lately?" Ryuu asked.
"Yup…I bet Rococo is in love with Daisuke's grandson…" Goushu said and they both began to catch up with the two.
(The next day Airport)
It was almost time for Rococo, Endou and the others to get on the plane to Cotarl. Endou was giving his final goodbyes to his parents and the others were watching him from afar though some were talking with Daisuke.
"Hey Rococo?" Ryuu called approaching Rococo together with Goushu.
"Yes?" Rococo answered.
"Well we were wondering are you crushing on Daisuke's grandson?" Goushu asked.
"W-what? M-m-me c-c-crushing o-on M-M-Mamoru?" Rococo stuttered giving off a great amount of blush on his face.
"It's written all over your face you like him" Ryuu said.
"Ok fine…I guess I do…what do you guys want why did you guys ask?" Rococo asked.
"Well we just figured since you've been blushing more ever since Endou came…" Goushu said and went away leaving Ryuu with him.
"Rococo, why don't you tell him on how you feel?" Ryuu and followed Goushu.
"What was that about…" Rococo thought out loud. "Tell him how I feel huh…" he said to himself.
"Tell someone what?" Endou asked from behind.
"Wha- Ma-Mamoru!" Rococo said and jumped in surprise.
"Woops… did I surprise you?" Endou asked.
"Y-Yeah… anyway you finish with the goodbye?" Rococo asked.
"Yup though my mom wouldn't stop crying in the end" Endou said with a sly smile.
"I see" Rococo said and thought about confessing until Daisuke called on everyone telling them that it was time to board the plane.
"Come on Rococo we better go or else Jii-chan will get mad" Endou said and grabbed Rococo's hand and ran to where the whole team was.
"R-right…" Rococo said with a smile, 'I'll just tell him once we get back to Cotarl' he thought.
Star: Finally finished…
