~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tsurugi's P.O.V.

*sigh* I'm already loosing hope on Tenma. I don't know why. I feel like I already have no chance for him to be mine again. I know that Louis wants him back to him but it's also difficult for him. *sigh* Why does this have to ever happen? We could've just been happy with each other. I want my old Tenma back, back in my arms. He's the very first person I go to if I have a problem but now, I can't reach him. E's already with someone else. He's already someone else's property. *sigh* "Hey, Tsurugi, you've been sighing like three times already. Stop it because practice is going to start" Shindou told me. I really am not in the mood for practice now. Back then, I only go to practice because Tenma was there but now......... He's not here..........

I only nodded at what Shindou said. "Minna! Start practicing!" we heard coach Endou yelled. We all nodded and went to the pitch and started practice. I can't really focus on practicing since Tenma is always in my mind. I don't know what to do! "Tsurugi!" Hikaru yelled at me. I suddenly realized the ball got stolen from me by Shindou. "Focus on practicing, Tsurugi!" I heard him yell. I only sighed. I walked up to the bench and grabbed my stuff and went to coach Endou. "Coach, I'm going home...... I.......... I don't feel like practicing today......" I said to him while avoiding eye contact. "That's the fifth time you used that reason for skipping practice, Tsurugi but alright. Just practice tomorrow" coach told me. I nodded and walked away. "Oh. And Tsurugi?" I heard coach called. I looked back at him still avoiding eye contact. He came to me closer and looked at me. "You don't worry about Tenma. I know that you love him but he still needs time to understand the situation" I was surprised at what coach said. 'How did he know that I was thinking about Tenma?' I thought to myself. "H-How did you----" I was cut off by a voice behind me. "We all know and because it's obvious"

I turned back to see Louis with a half-smile on his face. "Louis? What are you doing here?" I asked and looked behind him then at him. "Where's Tenma?" I asked him. "He's asleep back at the apartment. He just came home from the hospital" he explained. I nodded at is explanation. "Where are you going?" Louis asked while looking at my teammates on the field practicing. "I'm going home" I simply answered. "This early?" he asked again. I nodded. "I'll be back for my next class. I......... just need some time alone for a while" I answered truthfully. He just nodded. "Louis, say 'hi' to Tenma for me" I said to him. "Sure" he answered. I nodded then left to go home. I really need some time alone. I want to stay at my room for a day or two and think things out but the problem is there's school and my mom won't allow me to be absent for an unreasonable reason.

Third Person's P.O.V.

"Minna! Break time!" the managers yelled to the team. The team went to them and got their towels and water bottles. Coach Endou approached them with a serious look. "Minna, I have an announcement" he said seriously (if it was possible xD Jk). "What is it, coach?" Kirino asked. "The upcoming Football Frontier Internationals is already near so I want all of you to do your best and give your hardest on practice and on matches. We still don't know who among you will represent as Inazuma Japan but three of you have been already pick so do your best to get picked as well" Endou explained. They all nodded at him.

"But, coach, what about Tenma?" Shinsuke asked. "And Tsurugi, he always skips practice lately and if he does go to practice, he doesn't focus" Shindou said. Endou sighed at this. "Actually, the three whom are already picked are Shindou, Tsurugi, and Tenma. So that's going to be the problem. Shindou's no problem. The problem is Tsurugi and Tenma" Endou said putting a hand in his chin. "Tsurugi won't be a problem if he stops thinking about Tenma but that will be just impossible" Haruna said walking to them.

Endou nodded. "Maybe we can talk him out of it?" Kariya suggested. Everyone looked at him with a surprise and shocked looks on their faces which made Kariya confused. "What?" he asked. "Nothing, it's just that........ This is the first time you ever said something smart and useful for once or maybe this is the second time" Kirino said with disbelief. "What?! What do you think of me?! Stupid?!" Kariya yelled. "Apparently, yes" Nishiki said after nodding. Kariya just sulked near the benches sitting on the ground.

"But Tenma is our real major problem. He can't play anymore, am I right?" Endou asked. Haruna nodded sadly. "If we can only do something" Shinsuke said.
