You're One Of Us (Inazuma Eleven!Various X Reader)

Chapter 35

Previously on Chapter 34

These boys sure get jealous of one another so easily when it comes to me. They're not even bothering to hide the fact that they're in love with me. I wonder how they will react when they finally learn who I like among them. Oh God... why did this have to happen to me?

-Heart-filled Hope-

Y/N P.O.V

Tachimukai officially joins the team. Everyone is happy with that. I hear the sound of ringing and turn my head to the sound to see it's our coach's cellphone. She takes it out and start to talk to whoever called her.

"We'll be heading to Okinawa. There's a rumor stating that there is a Flame Striker there. We are told to go and get him" she said. My eyes widen at what she said. She said flame striker.

"Gouenji..." I mumbled. I turn to look at the others to see everyone seen to be hopeful that it's our friend. A grin starts to form on my lips. "It has to be him! What are we waiting for! Let's go and find him!" I said, excitedly. They let out a cheer of agreement. We get inside the caravan and begins our journey to Okinawa.

I sit next to Tachimukai. I look out the window as I watch the scenery passing by. "Er... L/N-San?" I hear Tachimukai said. I turn my head to look at him. He has a blush on his cheek as he fiddles with his fingers. "I'm really looking forward to be able to play games with you, L/N-San..." he said. I blink my eyes and smiles at him.

"I'm looking forward to that, as well. Welcome to the team, Tachimukai" I said. His eyes sparkles at what I said. He closes his eyes, giving me a grin. I smile softly at him and turn my head to look out the window again.

We're now riding the ship. The air is scorching hot. I'm lucky that I brought a folded fan. I lightly fan myself with it, trying to cool my body down. I'm sitting next to Fubuki who fanned himself with his scarf while the other hand loosens it. He should probably just take it off so it won't feel too hot. But well, I'm in no position to tell him. After all, that scarf belonged to his deceased twin brother.

"Hey, Megane... if you leaned over it that far, you'd end up falling into the sea" Kabeyama said. I turn my head to see Megane leaning over the fence. My eyes widen as he yelled out as he falls into the sea.

"Megane!!" I yelled out. He starts to struggle swimming. I take off my shoes to help him when someone else jump into the sea, swimming towards him.

We ended up by the shore, which means the ship has left without us. The next ship will be tomorrow. I let out a sigh as I hear the others blaming Megane for his reckless act. In which, he retort that he's just a victim.

"Oh come on, guys... I'm sure Megane didn't mean to fall in. It was just an accident. Let's just be thankful that he's safe" I said, trying to calm them down. Megane turn to look at me with a grateful look on his face. I turn to him and smiles softly, which makes him blush a deep shade of red.

I clear my throat, trying to ignore that fact. "Anyway, as we wait for the next ship. Why don't we find a spot for a soccer training?" I said. Everyone is quick to agree with me. Endou turns around and spotted something. A grin forms on his lips, as he turn to look at us.

"What about over there?" He asked. I turn my head to look at where he's pointing to see a vast area of a beach. It's quite a huge space. All we need now is two goals and we're good to start training.

Everyone starts warming up after we finished making the goals. Endou and Tachimukai guards each one as we divide our team. I turn my head to see the guy that had saved Megane is currently surfing. He's really cool to be able to ride the wave.

I kick the ball to Kidou, who kicks forward. I flinch when he suddenly kicks it back at me. I kick the ball a little too hard to the point it zip through the ocean. I turn my head to see it's heading straight to the boy that's still surfing in the ocean. He kicks the ball right back, making it head straight to Tachimukai. He struggles a bit, but the ball makes it in.

"W-Wow... that was such a strong kick" I said, amazed. I turn to look at the boy who comes flying towards us. He lands on the ground. I just stare at him. I nearly jump out of my skin when his surfing board land right next to him. He seems to notice that I was scared.

"Oh, did that scared you?" He asked. I just let out a nervous laugh. He lift his hand, gently ruffling my hair. "Sorry about that. You also scared me. So I guess we're even" he said. He turns around and walks away. He lay down after placing the surf board into the sand.

"Are you okay, L/N?" Endou asked. I turn my head to look at him and smiles, nodding my head. "Better get some drink to help you calm down, okay?" He said. I nod my head again. I turn around and make my way towards the managers.

"Here you go, L/N..." Otonashi said, handing me a bottle of water. In which I drink it, desperately trying to calm down after getting scared a while ago. She gently rub my back to help me calm down easier. I heave out a sigh once I feel my heartbeat starts beating normally. "Well? Feeling better?" She asked.

"I am... thanks, Otonashi" I said. She smiles and nods her head. I hand the bottle back to her. I make my way back to the others to continue training again. I turn my head to look at the boy who just sleeps. I wonder if he'd let me try surfing. I wanna give it a try. I wanna try riding the wave like him.

I make my way towards him. "Um... sorry" I said. His eyes moved a little. I open my mouth to speak when a ball collides on his surf board. I jump back a little as the board lands right on him. "A-Are... are you okay?" I asked, as I hurriedly remove the board from him.

"Wow... an angel" he said. I blink my eyes as he stares at me in awe. He seems to realize what he had said. He clears his throat and stands up. "Which one of you did that?" He asked. Touko nervously raises her hand. He has a serious face as he approaches her. My eyes widen, thinking he'd hit Touko. But he pat her shoulder instead and thanking her. "Thank you... I almost missed the best wave. Thank you to you as well, pretty angel" he said.

I feel heat rising up on my cheeks at what he said. I turn my head away from the others, not wanting them to take notice of my blushing face and make them jealous over that boy. I blink my eyes when I finally remember why I woke him up in the first place.

"Wait!" I called out. He stops walking and turn to look at me. "Would you teach me? You know... how to ride the wave?" I said. He looks surprise by my request. But a soft smile appears on his face as he agrees to teach me. "Yay!! Thank you! Oh, I'm L/N Y/N... nice to meet you, um..." I said, tilting my head slightly.

"Oh. Jousuke... Tsunami Jousuke" he said, offering his hand to me. I accept his hand, gently shaking it. "And it's a pleasure, mi lady" he said. He lift my hand, giving a light kiss on the back of my hand. I stare at him with a surprise look. I glance at the others to see everyone is surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere. "Shall we?" Tsunami said, gesturing to the sea.

"E-Eh... on second thought. Maybe next time. I've still got some training to do with the rest of my soccer team" I said. I gesture towards the others. Tsunami turn to look at them briefly before turning to look at me.

"Oh, is that so? All right. Until next time, then, pretty lady..." he said. He turns around and walks away. He heads to the ocean to start surfing again. I close my eyes and let out a sigh. I lift my hand, staring at the spot he had kissed earlier. I did not expect him to do that. Why'd he do that in the first place anyway? Ugh... whatever.
