Everyone gathered around Hayami, while he was doing hacker stuff. Everyone was exited, they were finally getting somewhere. If Hayami could just work a little faster.

'Can't you work a little faster?' Tsurugi said impatiently.

' I'm working as fast as I can.' Hayami said. 'I started hacking only a few months ago. And this is hard.'

'How did you exactly became a hacker?' Aoi asked, while she was watching over his shoulder.

'My cousin taught me.' Hayami answered. 'He's been a hacker for years, if he was doing this, everyting would go much faster.'

'You're doing fine.' Aoi said. 'Can you teach me to hack sometime. I'd love to know how to hack.'

'Sure.' Hayami said. And he started blushing.

After some time, Hayami had finally hacked into the school system.

'Now we just have to know where they went.' Hayami said. He did something on the computer and suddenly they saw Tenma and the scary guy walking in the hallway. They didn't say anything. Not that they would be able to hear them. Hayami had warned them that they would only be able to see, not to hear. It had something to do with the security cameras. Tenma and the scary man walked into a room.

'There,' Hayami said. 'What room is that?'

'Isn't it room 1-08?' Shindou said.

'Yes, it is!' Shinsuke said.

Hayami did om other things on the computer and suddenly they saw Tenma and the Scary Guy AND Yuuki Akemi in the room.

'So she does have something to do with it.' Tsurugi said.

The room was like an office. There was a desk with lots of papers on it. before the desk there was a couch and a table. There were a theapot and cups on the table. Tenma and Yuuki Akemi were sitting on the couch. The Scary Guy was standing. Tenma was looking worried.

Tenma and the Yuuki Akemi were sitting on the couch watching as the man said something. Tenma looked like he was about to panic. It was obvious he said something, but the team couldn't hear what. The Scary Man knelt down before Tenma and laid one hand on Tenma's shoulder. He must've said something shocking, because Tenma stood up fast and said something. Now Yuuki Akemi said something too. Tenma said something back and the girl stood up. The three of them kept saying more things. And then Tenma shouted something at the Scary Man. And suddenly the team saw the Scary man hitting Tenma right in the face. Tenma fell on the ground and Yuuki Akemi immediately went to look if everything was alright. The Scary Man said some more things and Tenma said some things back, but Tenma didn't stand up. After that, the girl said something. At first it looked like the Scary Man and Tenma both disagreed with what she said, but after that they both nodded. At the end they walked out of the room.

It was quiet for a while. After the team had seen this, nobody knew what to say. The Scary Man had hit Tenma. Right in the face. And Tenma didn't stood up, like normally when something happened to him. They couln't be more confused.

'I, I don't understand.' Aoi said. 'What did we just see?'

'We saw a guy hitting Tenma.' Shindou said angry.

'But that's not all we saw.' Tsurugi said.

'Does it matter, the Scary Guy is obviously the bad guy here, and Yuuki Akemi is with them.' Shindou said. 'Let's go to her no and…'

'And what?' Tsurugi asked. 'Beat the crap out of her? You can't be serious Shindou.'

'But she's with the Scary Guy.' Shindou said.

'Are you sure?' Aoi said, while thinking about what they just had seen. 'Because she looked concerned about Tenma and at the and it looked like she was disagreeing with him.'

'But we can't just do nothing' Shindou said.

' I'm not saiying we're going to do nothing.' Aoi said. 'Maybe we just need to try talking to Tenma one more time.'

'But…' Shindou said,

'And besides,' Aoi said. 'Maybe this doesn't have anything to do with Tenma quitting soccer.'

'It's not only about Tenma quitting soccer anymore.' Tsurugi said. 'there is something wrong and Tenma is our friend. We just need to help him.'

'I know,' Aoi said. 'I'm just saying we shouldn't draw conclusions so fast.'

'Okay,'Shindou said. 'We're going to ask Tenma what's going on one more time, and this time we won't leave until we have our answers.'

'Yeah' everyone shouted.

They decided to go tomorrow, after soccerpractice. And only Shindou, Tsurugi and Aoi would go, because it might be to much if everyone would go.

The next soccerpractice was a disaster, everyone was worried about Tenma and confused about what they saw the day before.

'Shinsuke!'

'I'm sorry.' Shinsuke said, after he had kicked the ball out of the field again. Shinsuke ran after ball and fell.

'Shinsuke!' everyone shouted. They quickly went to see if he was alright.

'Are you okay?' Aoi asked.

'Yes,' Shinsuke answered. 'I… is that Tenma?!'

Shinsuke pointed at the road. And there was Tenma. Walking. Alone.

'Where is that girl?' Shindou asked.

'Not here.' Tsurugi answered.

'Then we should go now. Before she comes back.' Shindou said.

Everyone agreed. Shindou, Tsurugi and Aoi went after Tenma.

'You think you can handle one afternoon alone?' Akemi asked. She and Tenma were standing on the shool grounds.

'It should be possible.' Tenma smiled. 'I'll just go home and rest a bit.'

Akemi nodded. 'That's a good idea. Just don't get in any trouble.'

'I won't.' Tenma said. 'so, I'll be going home now.' Tenma turned around and started to walk. Suddenly he turned to Akemi again.

'Akemi?' he said.

'Yes?' she said.

'Just… Thank you for everything.' Tenma said.

'Hey,' she said smiling. 'That's what friends are for.'

Tenma smiled and headed home. What a nice weather, he thought by himself. He hadn't felt this relax for weeks. He didn't even notice he was walking next to the soccer field.

'Tenma wait!' Tenma heard behind him. And he turned around. He saw Aoi, Shindou and Tsurugi runnig to him. He didn't know what to do. Should he just wait fort hem, or run. He knew he wouldn't be able to handle talking to him. He quicly turned around, but they were to fast. Before he knew it, he was surrounded.

'Tenma, we want to talk to you.' Shindou said. 'We want to know what's going on. Why your acting so strange.'

'Guys…' Tenma started, not knowing what to say.

'Is it that girl?' Aoi asked. 'is she blackmailing you?'

'What, no! Akemi is great, helping me so much.' Tenma started to hyperventilate. 'Guys…'

He backed out.
