The girl in the media is how "Inoue Shizuro" looked like. It's really big, so you have to save it to or zoom onto it to see it properly. Yeah, now back to where we left off!

        I stood on the field in Jimon's spot. This feeling of long ago came back to me. Everything, the Football Frontier Satdium, Kakuma's voice, seeing the other team's goalie. It was all in place. Everything but the players. There was no Gouenji to run ahead of me, and the only teammate I had now who could still play was Kidou, who had subbed in for Doumen, and Genda who could barely stand, let alone take on another shoot.

        The referee blew the whistle, and the game continued. I did the kickoff to Kidou and we started making our way across the field. It had only been three seconds since he had possesion of the ball when a player of Zeus slid and stole the ball from him.  But I had already anticipated this, thus once he slid and just barely touched the ball, I had already dashed behind Kidou. I quickly cut in and stole the ball, then continued down the field.

        "What is this?!" Kakuma shouted, "For the first time in the Football Frontier, Zeus loses control over the ball!" All the members of Teikoku jolted their head up or crawled up to see despite being injured badly. They all wore the same expression of dismay.

        I had barely taken a few steps with the ball when an evil grin streched onto my face and my eyes seemed to glow. "Let me show you the real Kuroi Hane Taifuu," I said and shot it. Sakuma and Jimon's eyes widened. I was really far from where people usually tried to shoot, but I knew it was enough. Heck, I could shoot from the defense area and still make it in with this hisstatsu.

        As the ball exploded off my foot, a gust of wind and black feathers swirled around it and sent everyone in the way flying before they could even attempt to defend the goal. It shot past Zeus' goalie Poseidon's ear and into the goal. He looked at me shocked with mouth hanging open.

        "What just happend?!" Kakuma screamed. The whole crowd was also in shock. "That was so fast I almost missed it! But it almost looked like the phantom hissatsu Kuroi Hane Taifuu! Could it have resurfaced after all this time? And just who is this girl?"

        Aphrodi whirled around. His calm collected aura had changed into panic and shock. I looked up and saw the Commander with a surprised face, an expression I had never seen on him before. I smirked at him. He saw me and glared. Then he mouthed, "You'll pay for this." I glared back murderously  with my ruby red eyes and he slunked back.

        When Poseidon had regained composure, he tossed the ball back to me. "Kick it again, I'll stop it this time. You just caught me by shock, that's all. But I'll show you that you'll never beat a god."

        "Oh, you wanna bet?" I replied, "I'll show you the true terror of the Death Bringer."

        "True terror? Could she mean that move? The one that will make you forever scarred for life?" Kakuma exclaimed. It was so terrifying that even he didn't dare say it's name.

        "I'll never forgive your team for hurting Teikoku," I said and spun the ball up. Bloodstained cherry blossom petals started gathering around it in a swirl. The crowd was silent, some watching with anticipation, others who know this with fear. Poseidon, being clueless of what I was going to do, sneered, "Whatever hissatsu you attempt will all fail against a god."

        "Your loss," I said and my foot made contact with the ball. It streamed effortlessly toward Poseidon with the bloodstained sakura petals trailing behind. It looked totally harmless, but the true terror lay inside.

Poseidon's POV

        The ball came at me, and I was going to stop it with one hand. No girl was going to get the better of me, of a god.

        But then something strange happened. A feeling washed over me. It made my knees weak, yet I was frozen to the spot. I felt everything happening in slow motion as if I was living in a dream. I thought I heard organ notes chiming as if calling me to my death and my vision blurred with splotches of red. Splotches of blood. It was just a hallucination, but this feeling was clear. It was fear. For the first time, I was afraid.

        I was terrified, yet I couldn't run away. At the last second, my steroid enhanced body realized that the ball was just about to enter the net. I raised a hand in front of it and the ball bounced away. Instantly, the hallucination was gone as if it was never there, but I could still remember that fear so clearly I was still afraid.

        I collapsed onto my knees and covered my face with my hands. "It's okay, I'm fine," I whispered to myself, yet I didn't believe it even one bit. Then I heard Aphrodi's voice, "Hurry up and throw it over! You blocked it! What's going on?"

        I looked up to try to tell my captain that it was alright, but all I saw was the girl, no the Death Bringer, staring at me in that solemn way from above. "No please, don't use it again. I'm sorry!" I cried out. She didn't reply, only kept that cold gaze on me.

Aphrodi's POV

        I could instantly tell that something was wrong. Poseidon blocked it so easily, and the shot looked no different than a normal shoot other than the bloostained petals trailing behind it. So what was going on? Why did he look so afraid? I had never seen our goalie looked like this before.

        "What did you do?" I demanded. Sakurai only turned to face me, her face cold and expressionless. "Chi Sakura Mai, my hissatsu move," she replied.

        "There's no doubt about it! Inoue Shizuro, the other ace striker of Kidokawa Seishuu, is back!" Kakuma shouted. The crowd was in a commotion. I've heard legends of this striker, the one who wore the number 13 jersey, the one who mysteriously dissapeared after last year's Football Frontier. Now that I looked, I noticed that Sakurai was wearing the number 13. She caught me staring and smiled softly. "That's right, I'm Inoue Shizuro."

        "Now everyone is confused! Why is the ace striker of Kidokawa Seishuu back on Teikoku's side as a girl?! Someone please explain!" Kakuma's voice floated over the conversations in the bleachers, "Ah, here is the coach of Kidokawa Seishuu! Maybe he can clear the confusion!"

        A man with blue hair stepped to the mike. He's eyes met Sakurai's and she nodded. "It's true, Inoue Shizuro was a girl," he announced. The crowd broke into roars and cameras were turned toward the black haired girl, who stood unfazed by this.

        The coach held a hand up and continued, shushing the crowd, "Sakurai disguised herself as a boy and enrolled at Kidokawa Seishuu. She was only brought out in the second half if the team was behind by at least a point, and she would always bring them victory no matter what, thus earning the title Death Bringer. People have always criticized that her hissatsu Chi Sakura Mai should be forbidden since no goalie who had intercepted it had been the same after, some growing afraid and quitting soccer and others becoming distant from people. But then on the day of the Football Frontier finals, one goalie who had just recently faced Kidokawa Seishuu committed suicide. The Football Frontier committee was informed and decided that her team should be banned from competing last year. After that, she was too ashamed to show her face at the Football Frontier, so she quit Kidokawa Seishuu and transfered to Teikoku Gakuen as her real identity, Sakurai Shizumi, to start over. The reason why her parents were never heard of again was because they moved to Europe to prevent people from  finding the connection."

        The man backed away from the mike to show that he was finished. I turned back to Sakurai who was looking down her cleats. "Oi, stop pitying yourself! We have a game to continue!" I shouted, "Poseidon, give me the ball already!"

        Everyone was a little shocked at my outburst, but the referee blew the whistle to continue the game. Poseidon reached out for the soccer ball, then shrunk away as if it was a monster. "Hurry up, Poseidon," I said impatietly, emphasizing his god nickname to remind him that we were gods here and gods don't bow to humans.  He hesitated, then with shaking hands, he threw the ball over to me.

Shizumi's POV

        It was all out. Teikoku looked at me some with fear, some with rage, and some with shock. I didn't blame them, they had all reasons to hate me for lying and fear me. I was responsible for a death after all, not directly, but I still caused it. I looked down to avoid everyone's stares.

        Suddenly, Aphrodi's voice cut in, "Oi, stop pitying yourself! We have a game to continue! Poseidon, give me the ball already!" With fear in his eyes, Poseidon followed his captain's orders and tossed the ball over. Right, it was still in the middle of a game. I could deal with everything later.

        "Now, let's continue where we left off last time, shall we?" Aphrodi asked Genda. My eyes widened and I ran as quick as I could, but I knew I could not get all the way there before he shot. "Don't! You'll break his arm!" I shouted desperately. Aphrodi paused, but his foot was still in position. "I won't shoot if you forfeit," he said calmly.

        This was blackmail. I narrowed my eyes, but he only looked at me warningly, daring me to move. I glanced at Kidou. For once, the smarty-ass  captain seemed to not know what to do. Next, I moved my gaze to the Commander, who was smiling in a sinister way. He was so sure that Teikoku was going to forfeit, I shouldn't give him the glory. But then I turned to Genda, who took all his strength just to stand up, then at Sakuma, who was already on the ground just barely conscious. Slowly, my tense body relaxed and I said, "Fine.We forfeit."

        The referee blew his whistle, and the game was over. Aphrodi's body also relaxed, and Genda collapsed to the ground. "Genda!" Kidou shouted and rushed over to his friend. The rest of Teikoku was carted off in an ambulance. I stood on the field, blocking the reporters and sirens out as white noise. A wet drop landed next to my foot. There was no way I could bare to see everyone now, and after my identity was uncovered on television, there was no way to hide myself again. I had to live the rest of my life in shame now.
