{☆UNKNOWN DESIRE☆}

Chapter 12

[Name] pov:

"Just one more point..." Kiyora said as I stood beside him, whiping off my sweat on my chin, I glared up at the opposing team and nodded. "Yeah, but it's a gamble. We either go on defence to stop Shidou from scoring, or we go on offence to try and score the final goal, but if we miss... then it's going to be a big problem." I explained, making him nod in agreement. "What should we do then?"

"Both of ya don't need to worry!" Karasu said, making us look at him, only to see both him and Otoya smiling at us. "We can do both, just leave the defence to me and Karasu. Both of you can focus on scoring the final point." Otoya said and gave us a thumbs up, along with Karasu.
"Sure I haven't scored yet, but ya wanted to show off yer skills to yer buddy, right? Then go do it! Make 'em regret for leavin' ya behind!" Karasu game us a wide grin, making me smile and nod.

"Thank ya, Karasu-senpai! Otoya-san!"

"Thanks... I guess."

[KICK OFF!!]

Once we heared the whistle, we immediately started running forward and watch Reo pass the ball to Shidou. "I'll finish you once and for all, sweet cheeks!" Shidou laughed as I glared at him before I pressed him. "You really think you can get the ball from me if you're that weak?!" Shidou mocked, making me irk and glare at him even harder. "At least I don't allow my weakness to make me a shit of a person like you!" I shot back before kicking the ball out of his feet.

"You really piss me off...!"

"Be greatful then!"

Kiyora caught the ball and started running forward, but Kurona and Igaguri blocked his way Reo went to try and steal the ball from Kiyora, while I was stuck with Shidou, making me click my tounge. 'Dammit! This is bad...! If Kiyora-san loses the ball... it's all over! Come on, think, think, think!' I panicked, before a calming voice appeared in my head.
"[Name]-chan... there's no need to panic, just calm down. Concentrait on your breathing... stay in the present..." The womans voice said and it felt like everything comes to a stop. With a blink of an eye, I wasn't on the field anymore, instead everything around me was white, and was slightly covered in mist.

"Where am I...?" I asked myself, before hearing someone answer me. "You're inside your head." I turned around and saw a girl around my age with a smile on her face.
"I finally get to meet you. I'm the voice that you alway here on every match, well not all, but I was the one talking to you! My name is Keade, nice to meet you!" She happily said, before walking towards me and placed a hand on my cheek.
"You've grown beautifuly..." She mumbled as I looked at her in confusion.

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry, a habit of mine."

She said and pulled her hand away from my cheek. "You might be wondering why I appear on your head, right?" She said and I nodded. "Well, that's because I'm here to guide you."

"Guide me? Why?" I asked, she only kept her smile on her face. "You may not remember, but I've actualy met you when you were in diapers! You were so adorable back then~!" She cooed, making me blush and shook my head. "K-Kaede-san, I'm quite in a hurry, since I was in a match earlier." I nervousely said, making her chuckle. "Don't worry, you're only here because I made you think faster, so the game came to a stop until you get out of here." She explained, making me sigh.

"Thank ya, Kaede-san, it's all thanks to ya that I can think more properly on how I can win the match now." I thanked her, before she spoke up again. "You don't need to think for a long time you know? All you have to do is think quickly, analyze, read your opponents movements, react quickly, don't think twice and find an opening. That way, it'll be more harder for the others to catch up to you, and maybe you'll enter that "mental state"." She explained, but the last part of what she said, caught my attention.
"What do ya mean by "mental state"?" I asked. "Well, it's better known as "flow", it's when a person is fully immersed in an activity and can bring out their best potential. Just like other soccer players, kinda like a spark, but other sports can also have it!" She cheerfully said, before patting my head. "I'm sure that you'll reach it soon, just remember the things I told you to do, okay?"
