Behind your Smile (Inazuma Eleven Go!)

Chapter 26 : Doki Doki?

After what had happened, Haru and Tsurugi were at the park, sitting on the bench with far distance. The atmosphere was awkward and both of them didn't begin the conversation. They only sit still and quiet or silent like a stone, but actually they have took a bit glance on each other secretly.

Haru took a bit glance at Tsurugi as Tsurugi turned his face to see Haru when he noticed that Haru was glancing at him. Haru quickly turned her face away when she got caught from Tsurugi, but this time… Tsurugi was staring at Haru and cause of his stare, Haru quickly looked at him made Tsurugi jumped in surprise and turned away. Both of them sweatdropped heavily of this situation as it is so awkward. Haru coughed as she started the conversation.

"So, let's make it straight… You are the one who saved me from the kidnapper?" Haru said, but didn't look at Tsurugi. Tsurugi only looked away and didn't answer anything. Look at his action, Haru could answer that it is him.

"Why did you save me?" Haru asked him again as she can't believe of herself that the person who saved her that time is Tsurugi. Cause you know, Tsurugi isn't the type of person who would like to butt business people and first of all, he is a SEED. Why would he save Haru who tried to protect soccer? This is what Haru thinked when she started to ask Tsurugi a question.

"Look, I know it's sound stupid. I even didn't know why I save your life." Tsurugi said as he finally opened his mouth to talk.

"It's just… I have to." Tsurugi said as he looked down with frustrated as he scratched his head beside. Haru looked at him confused, but she still thanked him for saving her. Haru realized that Tsurugi has rescued her for twice especially the day in the match when Isozaki wanted to hurt her ankle and also the day when she was about to get kidnapped. Not only rescue, Haru remembered that when the time she had trouble from the vending machine for not giving her drink eventhough she had paid, Tsurugi appeared from no where kicked the vending machine and the drink can popped out from it. (Remember from the chapter 9?)

Haru didn't know what to say, but all she could say is…

"Thank you…" Tsurugi turned his face to face Haru with an odd surprise or confuse look.

"What?" Tsurugi asked as he wanted Haru to repeat again. Haru rolled her eyes and said again.

"I say thank you, alright?" Tsurugi looked at her with a surprise look on his face and then he coughed cause he felt that it is second times Haru said thank you to him. Don't know why he feels about it.

"Well, you're better saying thank you." He said then looked away, Haru only said "Yeah, yeah." and then she was about to stand up and leaving, but got stopped when Tsurugi asked her something.

"You… Don't want to visit Niisan?" Haru stopped from her track and looked back at Tsurugi who was right now staring at her and there is a bit pink blushes on his face, but Haru didn't notice it, she was just focusing what had Tsurugi just said.

"Wait, what? Am I hearing wrong or did Tsurugi just offer me to visit Yuuichi-San?" Haru asked as she gave Tsurugi with a teasing look. Tsurugi quickly stood up and was about to leave.

"If you don't want to, fine." Tsurugi said as Haru quickly caught up on him.

"Oi, wait for me!" Haru said as she followed him from behind as Tsurugi let out chuckle, but didn't show it to Haru.

When they are arrived at Yuuichi's room, Tsurugi gave a bit warning to Haru as the warning was…

"Don't you dare asking a weird question to Niisan." He said while glaring at her. As Haru only rolled his eyes and said "Whatever". And then, finally they both entered the room.
