There was always that one special person who inspired the young girl.

"Goal!" she cheered along with the commentator.

The stadium as full of hilarity. It felt overwhelming but amazing.

It was such a surreal feeling.

She wanted to hear it everyday.

Her dark hazel hues landed on her older sister as she was being carried out of the field. She could imagine herself, being carried like her sister as if she was on top of the world. Oh how she wish she can grow up already!

She quickly left from her seat and decided to follow where the winning team was heading. Her mother seemed to have let her be, trusting her like how she trusts her older daughter.

Her lips were quivering, forming a shaky smile, her head filled with plenty of thoughts as she continued to take her steps.

She wanted to be just like her sister.

She was the ace striker.

She was a tactician.

She was the last player to score the goal.

"I want to be like my sister!" she proclaimed when she arrived in the locker room with a lot of players presented. There was a moment of silence among them. It made the young girl's heart to beat quicker than normal.

"K-Kimi?" she rose her head and her eyes were focused on her sister's face. She could not tell what she was reacting to all of these. She was some kind of book that she could not understand unless she was studied carefully.

"Congratulations to all of us again!" their coach cheered, crashing the silence in the room. Her teammates gave her sister an applause before she could excuse herself.

"Chie-nee!" she beamed, pulling her by the hem of her shirt with her eyes shining brightly in pure excitement.

"I don't want you to be like me," her voice echoed through the spacious hall. She halted all her actions hearing her sister's dangerous calm voice. Chieko heaved a sigh before she could have mustered her courage to look at her in the eye.

'Wh-why does she look sad...?'

"I want you to be a person of your own. You don't need to limit yourself just to reach my level," she gave a soft smile to her younger sister. She placed a hand over to Kimiko's head affectionately.

"Promise me that even without my guidance, you'll still continue on the road that we're supposed to take."
