Behind your Smile (Inazuma Eleven Go!)

Chapter 16 : A Flame???

Shindou was playing the piano after the whole incident that had happened. He kept remember the day that he shot the ball in, virtually he supposed not to let the ball in, but cause of Tenma made him to it. He was feeling infuriating until he banged his piano chords.

"What have I done?", he muttured feels ashamed of what had been happened yesterday then all of a sudden he heard a knock on the door and it reveals his maid, his maid told him that one of his friend who names Kirino were waiting outside to see him. Shindou asked his maid to let Kirino in and also prepared the tea for him and Kirino. The maid nodded of his order and quickly went to prepare the tea and let Kirino in. Shindou walked downstairs to meet Kirino and when he did, he saw Kirino sat on the couch, waiting for him. A few seconds later, Kirino noticed him and asked him with a worried look.

"Are you okay?", asked Kirino to him as he looked at Shindou.

"Yeah…", answered Shindou plainly. The maid came and put a kettle of tea and two cups on the dining table. The maid pours the tea into Shindou's cup first and then Kirino's cup. Then, the maid excused herself and left them alone to talk. Kirino takes a ship of his tea first and then opened her mouth.

"A new coach came today. Who do you think it is?", asked Kirino as he looked at his tea.

"Oh yeah? Who is it?", asked Shindou's not wanting to know who it was.

"Endou Mamoru.", answered Kirino made Shindou shocked by hearing that name.

"It really does come as a shocker.", said Kirino as he looked at Shindou's shocked look.

"Is it really that… Endou-San?", asked Shindou unbelief himself.

"Yeah. But, he's a little strange. Right on the top, he asked us to train with winning in mind at the riverbank. But I don't think anyone would be going only the newcomers.", said Kirino as he ships his tea. As for Shindou, he repeated one of Kirino's words.

"Train with winning in mind…"

In Endou's sides, Tenma and Shinsuke were working so hard to improve their skills. When Tenma were practicing, suddenly he felt down and that's made Endou-kantoku noticed his look.

"What's wrong, Tenma?", asked Endou to him.

"Ah… Nandemonai (Nothing) It's just…", said Tenma as he looked down, but he still keep telling to Endou about how's he feel.

"It's just… Haru didn't come practice and… that's make me feel upset about it.", said Tenma as he looked upset. Endou looked at him and then cheered him up.

"I'm sure she will come. Trust me."

"She will?", asked Tenma with hope.

"Yup!", said Endou as he raised him thumb up. Endou asked him to practice again and then Tenma nodded in agreement and then he continued his practice.

In Shindou's sides, he and Kirino went to the riverbank and at there he saw Endou. Shindou can't believing himself until he called his name.

"That's Endou Mamoru…", said him unbelief himself as he looked at Endou. Shindou and Kirino were watching their practice to see what will Endou ask them to do for their practice.

"What's wrong? Worn out?", asked Endou to Tenma and Shinsuke.

"Not yet!", said Tenma with confidence.

"Me too!", said Shinsuke too.

"All right! Let's keep going!", said Endou-San full of spirit. They've been dribbling for so long until Tenma and Shinsuke fell down with exhaustion, but cause of their spirits, they didn't wanr to give up and then quickly stood up and continued running again.
