Accidental Reverse Arc 1

  ~'0'~  

Tenma is on a mission.

A very important one, at that. It's something he should've done a long time ago, but never got around to doing. Not that it was really needed in his original time, since everything has already worked out there, but hey, he has the chance to do it over, so why not?

To be honest, it's not just one mission. It's a two-in-one mission. The real reason is important, something he's really serious about doing. The other mission... isn't a real mission, actually. More something for his own entertainment.

What are those two 'missions' of his?

Well, the first one is talking to Tsurugi. He's been trying to talk to the stubborn forward for three days, ever since the Mannouzaka match, but the navy-haired teen has been avoiding him. So now, the brunet has decided to go all crazy and get that boy to talk with him.

The other mission is one that is definitely something to look forward to, though. It mostly consists out of finding his teammates and messing with them – you guessed it – for fun. And not the simple 'I say random things that scare them' messing fun, but the real messing fun.

Currently, the time traveler is waiting for any of his teammates so he can start his missions. Easier said than done, though. At least he knows where Aoi and Shinsuke are – sitting next to him while they enjoy their lunch time. Tsurugi, however, fled the classroom the moment the bell rang, and the brunet doesn't know where he is or where their senpai are, for that matter.

The other three first-years are sitting under a tree, with a clear view of the school and the other students enjoying their lunchtime. Unfortunately (or fortunately, considering who you ask) the senpai of the soccer club are nowhere to be seen.

''Mou... where are they?'' grumbles the time traveler.

His two friends look at him in curiosity. ''Who are you talking about, Tenma?'' asks Aoi. The brunet looks at his childhood friend and his pouts.

''The other members of the soccer club,'' he mutters dejectedly. ''Or Tsurugi. Doesn't really matter who.''

Aoi and Shinsuke share a surprised look and are about to ask why the brunet is searching for them, when said brunet cuts them off by suddenly going rigid. ''Tenma?''

The time traveler grins at Shinsuke. ''Found Tsurugi!'' he beams, pointing to a tree half hidden behind the school. The time traveler stands up but is stopped by his smaller friend.

''You've been trying to talk to him the whole week,'' says the future keeper. ''And he's managed to avoid you the whole time. Why do you think it'll be different now?''

Tenma pauses, a thoughtful look shooting over his face. ''You know, you're right,'' he muses aloud. ''If Stalker-san saw me, he'd just walk away again...'' the thoughtful look changes into a devious grin. ''Unless he didn't see me, of course.''

Aoi and Shinsuke look at each other in alarm. ''I have a bad feeling about this,'' says Aoi. The defender nods.

The brunet pouts. ''Jeez guys, I can just feel the love!'' then he grins again and looks at the tree they are under. ''Anyway, I'll see you in class~'' he sings and grabs a low branch of the tree.

His fellow first-years watch in astonishment as Tenma grabs another branch with his free hand, pulling himself up and placing his feet against the tree trunk. ''What are you doing?'' asks Aoi hesitantly.
