After one week , INAZUMA Japan face their first opponent.  They win the match under kirino's leadership. 
Today was Inazuma Japan's final game to become Japan's National team . If they win their Asia prelims , they'll  face world

Kirino was happy that he is working good as captain.  His kantaku was impressed by his work . Shindou was happy too .
But Little did they know that today is the start of their painful life .
Ibuki was waiting for the moment to start his plan . And he got that when they won Asia prelims .

Someone's Pove

Kirino! I'm really impressed by you. 

Arigatou kantaku

Everyone started talking to each other . Shindou was thinking about something , when he felt a hand on his shoulder

Ibuki !!

What are you thinking Shindou?

Nothing I was just thinking of telling kirino something about captainship. He still hesitate , you know

Don't do it Shindou.

Why not ibuki ?

Look Shindou I know you are worried about him . But don't you think you're going over board

What do you mean

I'll tell you . He is your best friend.  But now he is a captain.  You have to give him space . If you tell him everything again and again, he'll feel that you don't think him able of this post .

But it's not like that and why would kirino think ?

Shindou ! You told me about him being jealous of you during France Era .

Yeah but what that has to do with it .

That's the point . He is your best friend.  He always wants to be by your side . He don't want that you go far away in anything. You don't know how he feels when you go high and he can't reach you .

* Shindou was listening to him with wide eyes *

He solve that problem at that time . But now he is a captain. If you tell him that he has to do this or that . He'll become insecure.  And its not good for your friendship.  It took years to make friends but your one small mistake can broke it .

So just give him his space.  I think you will become more happy when he do it on his own .

You're right.  I was going over board. 

I'm happy that you understand 

Thanks for the advice.  Meet you later

Ibuki smiled devilishly. 

Wow wow wow ! What a plan ibuki

Thanks

Now their bond will break easily.  Shindou himself push him away from himself

Ibuki just smirked looking at kirino .

After one week

It's been a week after their Asia prelims.  Shindou started to space out with kirino . Kirino noticed it too . He asked Shindou but he shrugged it of.
Today was their game against England and they won by 3-2 .
Kirino thought that its been long time that he and Shindou never spent time with each other . So he decided to ask him

Hey Shindou

Kirino!  What happened

Nothing.  I was just thinking we hadn't spent some time together.  So wanna go out

Shindou wanted to say yes but he can't because he promised ibuki to go with him today

Sorry kirino! Actually I have to go with ibuki . I promised him .

Kirino 's smile vanished on hearing that his best friend had no time for him

No problem . We can go some other day

Yeah . Bye

Kirino stood there , some tears formed in his eyes

So sad captain

Kirino look at the person and found ibuki smirking on him

What do you mean ibuki

I mean look at you . How sad are you looking

I'm not

C'mon captain  You are . It's written on your face .

Just shut up .

Stop running after those things which are not yours

What did you want to say

I want to say that forget Shindou.  He was your  but now he is mine

Just shut your mouth ibuki . He is always my best friend. 

Yeah but I can't guarantee that you'll remain his best friend or not .

Ibuki then walked away smirking on kirino

Kirino 's hands turned into fists .

What does he meant by that ? No one can come between us . No one and I will never let anyone.
