[Her Between The Past And The Future]

Chapter 12

Kaito and Rina arrived at the gates of the mansion where Kidou Yuuto lives. The two were called by the person as he was planning on having a meeting with the whole team, unfortunately their club house was shattered to the bone that's why Kidou decided to put their meeting in his house.

As the siblings entered, thanking the maids who opened the two black coated doors, they noticed that everyone was now inside as they waited for the owner of the house to arrive. Once the two Tomoris were in view of the team, a purple haired boy ran towards them and bowed to his seniors.

"Rina-san! Kaito-san! You've arrived." the boy greeted. Rina just nodded and gave the boy a smiled while Kaito grinned from ear to ear and pinched the poor boy on his cheek. "Itai! Kaito-san, please let go of my cheek!" the purple haired cried out.

"No can do, Hikaru. You're too cute to not have the attention, you know?" The older Tomori raised his other hand to pinch the other cheek of the boy. The boy cried even more with the gesture.

The others sweatdropped as they witnessed how a 3rd year bully his junior in a chibi-fied form.

"Give it a rest, Kaito. Don't tease him any further." Kuramada laughed but felt himself hitched as the male gave him a hard look. "Ara. Who gave you the permission to say my name, Kurumada-san?" Said the ash brunette and stared at him dead in the eye.

"No one. Sorry about that, Tomori-san." He replied quickly as he raised his hands in defense. Unfortunately, Kaito doesn't like being called by his name beside for someone who he acknowledged as someone who was cute enough, as well as his kouhais, it is most specially for his sister who refused calling him 'big brother' and as a result he was left sulking in the corner. But in any occasions, Rina was referring him as 'nii-san' that left him in cloud nine.

A clap resounded through the place and turned their heads to the entrance of the mansion and saw their trainor along with two familiar people beside him. "Coach Endou!!"

The team ran to the man with brown hair and an orange bandana on his head as they gave him a hug. It was not that long when Endou left them in Kidou's care and they have already missed him so much. He was a family to them and leaving would only mean leaving a piece of you behind. The other two adults and the two siblings just watched as Endou and the team have their reunion with a small smile adoring their faces.

"Sorry to ruin your reunion but we must discuss the matters at hand." The white haired man stated and everyone became serious and went silent. The atmosphere now turned dark and tense.

Rina narrowed her eyebrows as a memory came flashing in her mind as the adults went together in front of them.

" Everyone, I have an announcement to make."

The whole team stared at the brunette curiously. After Endou talked to Rina and Kaito about the two joining the club he suddenly went serious that got everyone ask themselves what's wrong with their coach. "What is it, Kantoku?" Kirino asked after some silence engulfed the room.

The said coach didn't answer back as he gaze at his students one by one. Something definitely big will happen. Rina knew that and it seemed his brother and Kirino noticed it as well.

Endou smiled. "Play soccer. Practice to get stronger. Practice, practice, practice 'till you can't move a muscle, and play to your hearts content." He trailed off and gave them a soft stare. "You'll need it."

What did he mean by that..?  Rina asked herself. Maybe it's connected to what happened at their practice... did coach already knew of it? Why were she and her brother were involved in this situation they were neither a member nor a manager of the soccer club.
