"HAAA!", Shinichi cried as he kicked the soccer ball towards a dead tree in his backyard. The ball slightly moved upwards, hitting some of the small branches before falling back on the ground.
Shinichi went to get the ball as he said, "I think I've got your husattsu, Ojisan.".
"It's Hissatsu, Shinichi.", Michiya nearly snorted at Shinichi's mispronunciation.
"Whatever, at least I understand the point, strong powerful shot, right?", Shinichi said as he placed the ball at his feet.
Michiya blinked a few times before h pushed Shinichi aside lightly, and stood in front of the ball. "If you think by Hissatsu I mean strong shots, then allow me to show you a real Hissatsu.".
Michiya eyed the dead tree before he raised his right leg and kicked the ball, the ball glowing dark blue in response, making Shinichi's eyes widen.
"Falcon Drive!", Michiya cried as he kicked the ball. The ball charged so fast, almost like a dark blur, and completely destroyed the tree, much to Shinichi's disbelief.
The boy's eyes followed the ball as it dribbled around before it stopped moving, next to the remains of the destroyed tree.
"A Hissatsu is a special move, that can be done by using some of our energy with training. Each Hissatsu is assigned to an Element, and users often are perfect in one element and its variants, and weaker in other elements unless it was a combination technique.", Michiya explained to the still shocked Shinichi.
"First is Wind; weak against wood and strong against earth. Its variants are water, ice, and lightning. The second is Wood; weak against fire and strong against wind. Its variants are Music, Energy, Space, and Darkness. The third is Fire; weak against earth and strong against wood. The fourth and final is Earth; weak against wind and strong against fire. Its only variant is Light. Then there is Void, it's neither weak nor strong against any element, and consists of only Darkness or combination of four elements, thus there isn't a Void User, unlike the other elements.", Michiya finished explaining as he went to bring the ball back.
"So what element are you? Actually, how does one know their element?", Shinichi asked curiously.
"Wind, I was known as the Japan's Blitz Falcon for my speed, you couldn't even see my shot.", Michiya said as he started dribbling the ball with his right leg, "Players often stand still, take a deep breath, and imagine an aura around them, focusing on releasing their energy. If it's blue then it's Wind, if it's green then it's Wood, if it's red then it's Fire, and if it's yellow then it's Earth.".
Michiya turned to Shinichi, "You're asking because… you want to… know?", he trialed off once he saw Shinichi standing still, his eyes closed, his breathing was calm and focused. A few moments passed before Shinichi opened his eyes just as a green aura surrounded him.
Michiya smiled as Shinichi looked up at him, the aura around him disappeared. "So, when do I start training on my first Hissatsu?", He asked.
"My wind techniques may not be suitable for you, but you can improve them to fit you, and I can teach you on how to train on Hissatsu. As a Midfielder, you not only require shots, you require dribble, pass, and defense techniques, but let's start with the shots. Your kick made the ball slightly curve, so we'll work on that first.", Michiya said as he caught the ball with his hands before he looked down at Shinichi.
"Yeah… if I end up joining a soccer team, that is.", Shinichi said bitterly, reminding Michiya of what he
"I've been visiting you daily for the past five days, and I've wanted to ask you, would you like to move in with me?", Michiya asked, "So you don't live alone, and as for Teitan and the bullies there, and I can move you to Raimon Middle School.".
"Really? What about your family?", Shinichi asked.
"Our family.", Michiya corrected, "The kids love you, and so does Sharon. And if you're worried about leaving Ran and Agasa behind, it's an hour car ride from here.".
A wide smile spread on Shinichi's face, "When do we leave?! It'll only take me 30 minutes to get my stuff and lock the manor!".
"Tadaima!", Michiya called as he opened the door of his house, Shinichi following behind while holding his soccer ball in an arm and a traveling bag with all of his clothes and items in the other.
"Tadaima!", A 14 year old girl said as she came downstairs with a wide smile. It grew wider once she saw Shinichi.
"Shinichi-niichan!", She cried happily as she hugged the boy, who returned it with a laugh.
"Nice to see you too, Fuyuka-neechan.", Shinichi greeted his adopted cousin as Michiya locked the door.
"Oh look… The Detective Geek is here.", A 14 year old boy said as he walked downstairs to meet Michiya and Shinichi, his hands in his pockets, just Michiya let go of Shinichi. He had a fair skin tone and a messy, short, seaweed-like gray hair with some bangs tinted white. He also had aqua blue eyes and a blue lightning-shaped tattoo that covers from his left cheek up to his left eyebrow.
"Says the guy with a stupid hair style and tattoo.", Shinichi snorted, "Nice to see you too, Tatsuya."
Kudou Tatsuya smiled lazily as he bro hugged with Shinichi, "You too brother.".
"Ara ara, look who is here Asami.", Sharon Vineyard said as walked towards the group, holding in her arms a four-year-old with long platinum blonde hair, pale complexion, and brown eyes.
"Papa and Shinichi-niichan!", the little girl cheered. Shinichi handed the soccer ball to Tatsuya and let go off his bag before he took Asami from Sharon as he said, "Yeah, it's your best brother Shinichi.".
"Yeah, right.", Tatsuya snorted in disagreement.
"Welcome home, Shin-chan.", Sharon greeted Shinichi by kissing the top of his head, making him flustered.
"S-Sharon-san!", He said embarrassed.
"Thought you got used to it my dear godson.", Sharon chuckled before she turned to Michiya, her eyes becoming much warmer and loving, "Welcome back.".
"Missed me?", Michiya said huskily.
"WE ARE STILL HERE!!!", Tatsuya cried in horror and disgust, definitely not wanting to see his parents' romantic moments. He handed Fuyuka the ball and Shinichi's bag before he grabbed Shinichi by the collar of his shirt and Fuyuka by her wrist.
"Come on before we are all grounded!", Tatsuya said as they ran upstairs.
"Dude, I'm gonna fall while holding your sister!", Shinichi cried, ignoring Asami and Fuyuka's laughs.
Sharon and Michiya watched the kids while slightly chuckling.
"Shinichi's back to his normal self now, I suppose.", Sharon commented.
"He's surrounded by his second family, so he definitely is. I still need to call Ran-chan, and I need to work on his papers to move him to Raimon Middle School.", Michiya said as he went upstairs, Sharon following behind.
"Not Teikoku?", Sharon asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Raimon has no soccer club and I believe Shinichi may help with that. I spoke with Tatsuya and he told me not to transfer Shinichi to Teikoku with Kageyama responsible, and only he will be responsible of gathering data about Kageyama…", He said as they entered their master bedroom, "I wonder why Yusaku and Yukiko left Shinichi…".
"Yusaku didn't tell you?", Sharon asked as she sat at the dressing and watched Michiya remove his jacket.
"He and Toichi disowned me, remember?", Michiya said.
"Makes me wonder about what they will do when they find out what I really I am.", Sharon said with a low voice.
"What? You're a famous American actress married to Japan and Raimon's top Forward now Coach, adopting a young orphan girl, and giving birth to a boy and a girl from him, one of them is Teikoku's Top Forward and works to expose the shady owner of Teikoku, and the other is the cutest four-year-old ever seen.", Michiya argued seriously as he turned to face Sharon.
"Have you forgotten that I'm a wanted assassin codenamed Vermouth, the favorite of the boss of the Black Organization?", Sharon asked bitterly as she removed the wig that gave her short hair, letting her long wavy hair free. Michiya then noticed that she had already removed the make up and fake glasses, showing her real young face.
Michiya smirked as he went to lock the bedroom door then went to Vermouth as he said, "A gorgeous assassin, I suppose you are, Vermouth.".
"I'm talking seriously now, Michiya.", Vermouth said seriously, but a smile escaped her expression.
"Come on, the kids are busy with Shinichi now, and Tatsuya and Fuyuka will definitely tell Shinichi about Teikoku, and Asami doesn't leave neither her siblings' side.", Michiya said as he took Sharon's hand and pulled her to him, holding her in his arms, him taller by a few inches, their faces only few centimeters from each other.
"So why don't we enjoy this private moment now, Christine?", He asked huskily.
Vermouth smiled seductively as her hands cupped her husband's cheeks, "Lead the way, my handsome Falcon.".
"Your room is as it is, untouched.", Fuyuka said as she, Tatsuya, Shinichi, and Asami entered Shinichi's bedroom. Since the cousins were attached to each other, Michiya decided to make two extra bedrooms, with Shinichi's being an identical copy to his original one at the Manor.
"So, you're moving from Teitan as well?", Tatsuya asked as he dribbled Shinichi's soccer ball while Shinichi sat on the desk chair, with Fuyuka sitting on his bed while Asami hopping (with Fuyuka's help) to sit next to her.
"Yeah, everyone but Ran and Sonoko, are bullying me, and the coach doesn't let me play in Teitan's soccer team, Ojisan said he'll move me to Raimon Middle School, who apparently doesn't have a soccer club yet. I'll continue education there next week.", Shinichi explained.
"Not exactly. Last year it was re-created by Endou Mamoru, a goalkeeper, but only then two people joined him; Handa Shinichi and Someoka Ryuugo. I am afraid things will be terrible when Raimon gathers eleven players, because of Teikoku.", Tatsuya explained grimly.
"Teikoku? Your school?", Shinichi asked confused.
"Because of Teikoku's coach; Kageyama Reiji.", Fuyuka said solemnly.
"Kageyama bad guy!", Asami shouted.
Tatsuya snorted with a nod at Asami, "Definitely. Kageyama used to be a player for Inazuma Eleven, the original Raimon 40 years ago, then he moved to Teikoku. And when he faced his old team, he lost. After being abandoned by his deceased father after his loss to the Inazuma Eleven, he developed an extreme phobia of losing and thus does anything in his power to win, even going as far as playing dirty. He even planned an accident for the Inazuma Eleven team on their way for the second match with Teikoku, preventing them from playing soccer ever again, and their coach and former player; Endou Daisuke, was missing then.".
"Now he goes around to challenge different teams as Teikoku's coach, and if Teikoku wins, they close their soccer club. Some players are still in the hospital from what the other Teikoku players do to them with their Hissatsu.", Fuyuka added.
"Kageyama hates how I don't obey him as my friends, but there is no other player better than me to replace me as a Forward, so I investigate while I'm on the team.", Tatsuya finished explaining.
"Forcing you to hear me talk about detectives and read Sherlock Holmes payed off, huh?", Shinichi joked, trying to lighten the dark mood that filled the room.
Tatsuya shrugged with a slight smirk, "Surprisingly.".
Shinichi, however, was thinking about this Kageyama guy and about what Tatsuya and Fuyuka said about him. This man was dangerous, and he was using Soccer as a tool to stomp and destroy anyone who would stand against him.
"I guess I need to train harder and master a Hissatsu or two before facing Teikoku.", Shinichi clenched his fist determinedly.
"Well, you better work hard, because it's impossible to defeat me, the Apollo Striker of Teikoku! The undefeated forward!", Tatsuya declared proudly.
Shinichi deadpanned, "You mean the undefeated clown.".
Asami laughed while Fuyuka covered her mouth with her hand, hiding her snickering, while Tatsuya glared at Shinichi.
"When a match happens between Teikoku and Raimon, I'll rearrange your face with my Apollo Penguin.".
Kira Hiroto of Inazuma Eleven Ares & Orion is here Kudou Tatsuya.
