[Fudou Akio was originally requested by xStarBINA and KuraiHaru17 in FFN.]  

His past was still haunting him.

Fudou knew it.

He knew that he hadn't completely forgotten about those times and what had happened to him. The shadows of his past were haunting him even now. He was keeping it like a baggage.

He should've just forgotten about it, let it go and move on. Search for a new road, something that was clearly written on his own map. Not look at what Kidou and Endou were planning on doing, but to search for what he could do in the future. Otherwise he would be back to square one.

"Fudou you're ready?" The coach asked from the brunette boy who was sitting on the bench. Fudou looked up at him and realized that they were in the middle of a game. Apperently he would be switched in.

Fudou smirked and stood up. "I'm more than ready."

Kudou made the call of a player change. Sakuma ran from the field, Fudou waiting for him. The two mates shared a glance and Fudou then closed his eyes. A smirk curled up his face and without any words they high fived when Sakuma passed him. 

"I leave everything to you." The cyan-haired boy said before going to drink some water.

Fudou left without answering, but everyone knew he would do the job. Kidou stood in the middle of the field waiting for Fudou to come. He then positioned himself and looked at their opponent. "Have you figured out how to break their formation yet?"

Fudou showed a smug grin. "I figured that out in the first minutes of this match." That wasn't really the case and even Kidou knew it. The overconfidence was partly for Fudou's sarcastic personality. But this didn't mean that Kidou doubted Fudou's words. He was sure that the brunette had already came up with a plan for their counterattack.

He too had a plan up on his sleeve. "Good. Do you think we can win this match?" The game-maker of Inazuma Japan questioned his team mate.

"Let's win this match!" Came an enthusiastic yell from the goalpost where Endou Mamoru was being positioned. The two middle fielders glanced at him and then chuckled.

"It's as our captain says, we're going to win." Fudou replied, his whole body craving to continue the game. He knew that this moment wasn't a dream, and surprisingly he felt like a little child who was urging to kick some ball.

He wanted to pull of the chains that were controlling him. And that he could do that only by defeating Kageyama.

Kidou smiled. "Then let's do this."

And so the whistle was blown and the match resumed.

...

He had seen it so many times.

Adults were the kind of people who always failed at things and tended to embarrass themselves. They got hurt and traumatized, what was the most stupid thing in the world. Why would they do the things in the first place if they felt embarrassed about it in the end?

He couldn't understand.

Fudou had also realized that adults weren't the only people who were out of their minds. And that is because some of his fellow team mates shared that tendency of taking up challenges, and he thought it was foolish. 

Especially his captain, Endou Mamoru was the mastermind in this kind of thinking.

This Fudou found out during the time he wanted to fight Kageyama alone, but eventually Endou found out about the matter. He claimed right away that he'll be coming along, even though they had an important match the same time. "I can't forgive Kageyama." Was the simple answer he had given, when Fudou had questioned his reasons.

Adding to that Kidou and Sakuma had insisted to tag along.

That had made things only more complicated and his perfectly planned out plan was destroyed in the matter of seconds by some foolish teenagers who spoke before thinking.

Even though everything that day had sounded very silly, Fudou had to admit that his team mates were strong. Especially Endou, who just refused to give up no matter what the situation was. Kidou and Sakuma weren't half a bad either and Fudou somehow understood why Kageyama was so obsessed with Kidou.

Their game-maker was in deed an irreplaceable companion, and Sakuma had helped them to complete the new hissatsu move.

It was then that Fudou felt like he could finally tear out the old pages and start anew. He had had his revenge against Kageyama and finally could say goodbye to the past that had been haunting his for so long. It was as if he was reborn.

He knew that he still had a long way to go. He was still young and couldn't possibly do anything. He was nothing more than a Jr. High school student, so what was there he could possibly do?

But that didn't matter. It was the very reason of him being young that he had so many possibilities. He could become anyone he wanted to. The future before him was full of different possibilities.

Fudou felt so excited. He felt the blood pulsing through his veins.

The rain that had been bothering them the whole day had finally stopped. Fudou was standing at the road looking down at the soccer field opening before his eyes. It had been a while since he had felt like this. It had been a while since he had last time been so excited.

"You know that we can't practice today, right?" He suddenly heard Kidou's voice speaking and saw the goggle-head approaching him together with Sakuma. The two of them too turned to look at the field with slightly disappointed looks on their faces.

"Just felt like coming here." Fudou then replied avoiding Kidou's question.

The sun was peeking from behind the clouds and it rays hit the soccer field at a certain angle that made the field shine brightly. Staring at it, he felt a new kind of passion.

This was his new beginning.
