Blue Lock: 13 Steps

Innominate (Edited)

TIMESKIP (4 DAYS)

Team W's Goalkeeper: The fourth match is tomorrow at 8 in the morning so make sure to be here by then. Alright?

Sho: "It's not like I'm going away for a day, I'm just going to get my new bed. I'll only be there for a few hours."

With those parting words, Sho walked through the steel sliding doors of Team W's stratum and into the main lobby of Blue Lock.

As soon as Sho reached the main lobby he was stopped by a kind lady behind the front desk.

Blue Lock's Receptionist: "Excuse me young man, where do you think you're going? Don't you have a game tomorrow?"

Before Sho could answer the questions, a lanky man tapped her shoulders from behind and emotionlessly said.

Jinpachi Ego: "He's fine, he turned in 5 out of 7 goals, leaving him with only 2 goals to his name."

With that said, Sho walked up to the desk and flashed a grin towards the receptionist as he pointed his gaze towards Jinpachi Ego.

Sho: "Hey Ego-san, I've been meaning to ask you a question. This is just a hypothetical but, how does one not participate in a match?"

Jinpachi Ego: "Hypothetically speaking he'd have to be either injured, kicked out of the game, or simply not play. Why do you ask?"

Sho: "Oh, no reason I was just asking for a friend."

A second of awkward silence fell upon the two as they stared at each other, until Sho broke the ice.

Sho: "Well, when do I get my bed? Do I get to pick it out?"

Jinpachi Ego pointed towards the quiet receptionist as he turned around and excused himself from their conversation.

Across Blue Lock in Team W's stratum, Junichi sat by his futon as he began planning his attack on Sho.

After considering every way this could go wrong, Junichi walked out of Team W's room and quickly walked towards the goal bonus area of Blue Lock and cashed in his 3 goals for his cell phone. After receiving his phone, Junichi quickly scanned around him making sure no one was near him and went through his contacts until he reached his brother Reisuke's number.

Junichi instantly called his number and hung on every ring as he waited for Reisuke to answer, and after what seemed like 5 minutes Reisuke answered.

Reisuke: "Aniki is that you, I thought they took away your phone?"

Junichi: "They did but I bought it back, I might not have any more points but it was worth it."

Reisuke: "It's nice to hear from you, but why are you calling? Did you get number 253 out?"

Junichi: "Not yet but that's why I was calling you. He just spent 5 points on a new bed so he only has 2 points left. It's a perfect time to start what I have planned. I'll ambus-."

???: "Hey Junichi right? I saw your last game, you're pretty good."

He didn't expect a random person to appear so suddenly so under his breath he said.

Junichi: "I'll call you back Reisuke."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both Sho and the Blue Lock Receptionist went through the array of beds until he set his eyes on a comfortable soft mattress. He slowly sank into the mattress as he laid on it.

Sho: "I want this one."

Blue Lock Receptionist: "Alright, we can have your mattress in Team W's room by 1:30 p.m. You'll only have 2 goals remaining so hopefully you'll be able to retake your position in Team W."

Sho rubbed his hands together and walked away from the receptionist as he strolled back to Team W's Stratum.

The time it took for Sho to make it took to get to Team W stratum, Junichi was already ready. He was masked in the corner as he watched Sho walk into the cafeteria. Junichi followed in haste as Sho went to a nearby empty field.

In the empty field, Sho began working on a weird style of dribbling the ball. He was so enveloped in dribbling he didn't see Junichi stealthily walk in.

In Sho's mind, a rusted chain began to slowly crack as he worked on his dribbling more and more.

Junichi looked up at the corners of the room, and noticed a small camera turned off looking towards the opposite corner of the field so he began lacing up his cleats.

As soon as his cleats were tied, his anger boiled over to the point where Junichi could no longer control himself. With a wretched scream he charged the unbeknownst Sho as he obliviously dribbled the ball.

Sho swiftly turned around and lost sight of anyone, as Junichi tackled him to the ground. Quickly thinking Sho grabbed Junichi's wrists in hopes of guarding himself, until Junichi looked at him like a helpless animal and got up. With Sho's back to the ground, Junichi raised his leg over Sho's head and nicked the side of his face.

Blood steadily emerged from the side of Sho's face as the dime-sized wound slightly opened up. Before he could get out of the way, Junichi raised his cleated foot again and hesitated as he saw the crimson blood flow from the side of his face. He slowly dropped his cleated foot to the ground, and profusely apologized to Sho. Before Sho could say anything, a sudden shock ran through Junichi's body as he was immobilized.

Sho could tell Junichi was being genuine but stood as still as a statue from the sudden adrenaline rush. All he could feel was the small amount of blood trickling from the side of his head as it dribbled down into his ear.

The sudden outburst from Junichi seemed to stop, as Sho kept his guard up consciously.

A loud ring ran through the empty field as Jinpachi Ego's voice reverberated.

Jinpachi Ego: "Can we get first aid to Field 14 immediately."

As soon as Jinpachi spoke, Junichi realized the severity of what had happened and constantly apologized.

Sho quickly regained control of his body as he began looked towards Junichi. He pressed his hand against the side of his head in hopes of stopping the blood from running down into his ear.

Both Junichi and Sho were side by side laying on their backs, Sho slightly giggled from the small dime-sized wound on the side of his head and Junichi sighing in relief..

Sho: "I understand where that came from, but I definitely wasn't expecting to get jumped."

Junichi: "I'm so sorry. After watching my little brother get hurt, I lost it. I planned your downfall, and I honestly don't know how to apologize"

The rest of the time was spent in silence as Sho succumbed to initial adrenaline rush and passed out.

I fucked up big time, and reedited this chapter. How do you want this chapter to go! I don't want to keep giving Sho a hard time.
