"Ugh… What is this place? Wa-Wait is this a hospital? Why am I doing here??", said Haru as she looked around.

"Sweetie. What's wrong?"

Haru looked at the person in front of her and she is surprised that it is her… Mom!

"H-Haha? (Mama)", said Haru as she widen her eyes until she lost her words. Tears started to form on her eyes, the person who she missed so much is right in front of her eyes. Haru immediately hugs her and that's make Haru's mother surprised of her sudden reaction.

"Sweetheart? What's getting in to you?", asked Haru's mother looking at Haru with full of concern.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly there was a guy's sound who looks familiar to Haru. Haru released a hug from her mom and looked at that guy and a few seconds later, Haru realized that it is her father.

"O-Otou-San??", said Haru as she unbelieved herself that her father also here.

"Otou-San, why are you doing here too??", asked Haru as she was sweatdropping.

"What are you talking about? We are here to visit your cousin.", said her father confused of her question.

"Co-Cousin?"

"Yeah, your cousin. Didn't we have told you that your cousin was in hospital?", said her father as he approched her.

"And that's strange, you didn't call me Chichi (papa).", said her father as he chuckled.

"Eh?", Haru confused herself while she looked at his dad.

"By the way, doctor says that we could visit her now.", said Haru's mom as Haru's dad nodded. They brought Haru to go to her cousin's room. And when they are arrived, Haru's dad opened the door and revealed a short brunnete haired little girl sitting on the bed. Haru's widen eyes until she called…

"Ha…ru…"

Haru opens her eyes a bit and looked at her room's rooftop, her alarm clock keeps ringing just now when she was in slept, I think this is why Haru wakes up from her dream.

'This dream… it's the first time how I meet her…', thought Haru as she keeps looking at the rooftop.

"…"

Haru turns off her alarm clock and stands up from her bed. She started to prepare herself to go to school and gets ready herself.

~Time skip ~

Haru made her way down the stairs and waved her hand to Tenma and Shinsuke. But, when she walked towards them all she could see is their depression looks, Haru scans the field to see no sign of Shindou and now she knows what's in getting to them.

'It is cause of Kudou-kantoku left his position as kantoku and our captain, Shindou-San isn't here.', thought Haru as she sweatdrops.

Haru looked the field again and saw that the others didn't play so well, some of them were spacing out and some of them were depressed and some of them keep doing mistakes many times.

'It's kinda annoying me to see them like this.', thought Haru as she looked at them "useless".

~Time skip~

When the practice is ended, Haru keeps getting annoying of them cause until when they will stop gloomy and depressing look like that? And first of all in their atmosphere were so awkward as hell. But, great thing that Hayami started the conversation.

"What's going to happen with the soccer club now?" Hayami questioned.

"Well, our only option is to follow the new coach's rules.", Minamisawa said as Kurama started to get annoyed.

"And you are fine with that??", asked Kurama.

"That's the point of doing soccer in school in the first place, isn't it? Plus, it is simple, if we do what the new coach says, it will be good on our students' records and we wouldn't get more trouble that we have by Fifth Sector.", said Minamisawa as he flipped his side bangs.

"So… No matter what we do, it is still same.", said Hayami as he looked down.

"I'm sure they will send us a new coach from Fifth Sector.", said Kurama shrugged.

'I though it is just only me to think like that.', thought Haru as she so curious of who will Fifth Sector send us. But suddenly there is a voice of someone scooted us back up to the reality.

"It is unnecessary.", said a man who has tanned skin, spiky brown hair, brown eyes and wears a orange bandana.

Haruna's eyes widened as she smiled and quickly approached him.

"It's been a long time!", said Haruna as she likes… she knows him for a long time. Until Haru looked at them with a question look, liked who is he? What's kind of relationship between them??

His apperiance makes Haruna squealed of excitement, which that's made Haru's making a guess that… That bandana man is Haruna's fiancee. Haru hasn't realized yet that she keeps looking at him non-stop and that makes that man noticed her that she was looking at him or I can said observing him. Haru blinks and quickly looked away.

"Is this everyone?", asked that man.

"No, the captain is absent.", replied Kirino. Haru still looking at him. That man noticed a staring look of Haru and looked at her with a questioning look.

"Is there something on my face?", asked that man as he looked at Haru.

"Are you Haruna-sensei's fiancee?", asked Haru with a serious plus curious look. And that's make the atmosphere turned to be awkward. And the others turned to be quiet so sudden.

"Pffft."

"WUHAHAHAHAHA"

And that man were laughing so hard after he heard what was just Haru said to him, "fiancee". Haruna was blushing so hard and says.

"HARU! HE IS NOT MY FIANCEE!!", shouted Haruna blushing so hard. Haru was embarrassing at what she had said and hid her face of this embarrassment. But, good thing that it could make the others laughing too, later ago they were depressed but now finally they could laught.

'But at least they are not gloomy and sad now.", thought Haru as she looked at them.

"Hahaha… Oh gosh, on the first day and I have already laughing so much, Hahaha.", said that man as he rubbed Haru's hair liked a kid. Kid was I meant is Haru. Haru looks like a kiddo in his eyes.

"Ok, I think we shouldn't wasting the time. As you can see, I'm Raimon soccer's club coach starting from today, Endou Mamoru.", introduced himself made the others looked at him with widened eyes not only the others but also Haru and Tsurugi too. But, Haru is the most shocked to hear and see him than the others, until she is sweatdropping too.

"Endou Mamoru, the legendary goalkeeper??!", Tenma exclaimed.

"I look forward to working with you all!", said Endou with energetic.

The others were whispering and chitchatting of this sudden news, excepted Tsurugi. He was shocked, but he got annoyed of it. They even can't believe themselves that their new coach is the legendary goalkeeper, Endou Mamoru. Haru looked at Endou again, but this time with innocent look. Endou looks at her again.

"What? Surprise?", said him grinned. Haru's only went quiet.

"Endou Mamoru…" Haru called him fluently and that's made Endou looked at her, smiled and also wondered what will she tell him. And an unexpected words come out from Haru.

"The Crazy Maknae Soccer.", said Haru innocently. The others looked at her surprised of what she had just said even Endou too.

"Haru! That's really unpolite of you!", scolded Midori to her.

"Hahaha! That's right! I am a crazy maknae soccer!", said Endou as he gives her a thumb.

"And this is for the first time for someone who I was just met, called me like that. Hahaha.", said Endou while laughing. Haru even doesn't believing herself to meet him in here.

"Endou-kun, you are the new coach?", asked Haruna.

"Yup.", replied Endou.

"Awesome! It's really him!", exclaimed Shinsuke.

"Yeah! Endou-San teaches us soccer… It's like a dream come true!" Even Tenma exclaimed too. Haru smiled as his mood brighten up from all the things that has been happening this past week.

"Minna! Here's the schedule after school. We'll be practing at the riverbank grounds.", said Endou.

"Eh? Riverbank?", questioned Sangoku.

"Gomen if I interrupted you, Endou-kantoku. But, why at the riverbank?", asked Haru as she raised her hand. The others also questioning him.

"You'll see something that you wouldn't be able to see in the school's grounds.", explained him, but they still didn't get it.

"And-"

"And why do we need to see something like that?", asked Haru as she cutted Hayami words. Hayami glared at Haru for cutting him, but Haru doesn't care though.

"In order to win.", replied Endou. The others questioning again after heard "win" word as for Haru, she smirked.

"If we all train together, Raimon will surely get stronger. I'll be waiting.", Endou said as he rubbed Haru's hair first and then left.

"Ok, I'm out.", said Minamisawa.

"The heck is with him?", asked Kurama.

"That's not something you'd expect from a coach from Fifth Sector.", said Minamisawa.

"Umm… Aren't any of you going?", asked Tenma.

"I'm out!", shouted Minamisawa while putting both of his arms back of his head as he leaves the field.

Haru looked at them and she could see that they still afraid of Fifth Sector. Tenma keeps persuading his senpais to come to the riverbank for practice, but the others didn't want to and it would be so long debates from them. Haru prefered to go away later stayed here to see a long debate from them and Haru could see that Tsurugi left too. I think both of them sure don't like to waste their times.

~Time skip - After school ended~

Haru quickly walked away from the school, but got stopped by Tenma, Aoi, and Shinsuke. And Haru knew it that they will be keep asking her… right… now.

"Haru, will you go to the riverbank for the practice?", asked Tenma with hope.

'Dear God… Not now.', thought Haru as she looked on the ground.

"Hmm… Where I have something to do… See you later guys.", said Haru as she quickly runs away from them.

"Eh? Ha-Haru!"

Haru runs as fast as she could before they catch up her, but thanks goodness they didn't. Actually today, Haru has a plan with someone to meet up with. Yesterday, she has sent a message to her ex-coach, Kudou-kantoku to meet her in the cafe and what she got the reply is "Yes". There are a lot of questions that Haru wanted to ask him about. But she doesn't know where she should start from. But in her mind says that at least she should meet him first before he keeps waiting so long. In the way to the cafe, Haru's handphone vibrated and it is from Kudou-kantoku.

#To             : Murasaki Haru
#Subject     : -
Right now, I'm at the Cafe that you have suggested. Where are you?

And then Haru replied him.

#To           : Kudou-ex kantoku
#Subject  : -
OTW.

Haru quick clicks "send" and then rushing. When she arrived, she's quickly entering the cafe and searched where Kudou is and finally she found him. Haru walked to where he's sitting from and then here is it, an awkward situation between them. Kudou looks at her and says

"Why are you standing there for? Come sit.", said him as Haru obeyed him. She sits in the front of Kudou, so she could easily talked with him. She wanted to ask him something, but she doesn't know where she should start first. She searches a better words to ask, but she doesn't have one. And now the atmosphere turned so awkward and quiet between them.

"I though you want to ask me something.", asked Kudou as he ships his coffee.

"May I take you order please, Miss?", asked the waitress as she looked at Haru.

"I want milkshake please. Just milkshake.", ordered Haru as she keeps looking at Kudou.

"Ok then, it would right away.", said the waitress as she goes away.

"So?", asked Kudou again.

"Kudou-San…" Haru looked at him with a serious look even Kudou too. Haru looks down, didn't dare to face Kudou, but she keeps continue to talk and then finally she asked him.

"How much do you know about me?"

~Time skip~

"Only the two of you?", asked Endou-kantoku.

"Hai!"

Endou grinned and called their names.

"Matsukaze Tenma, Nishizono Shinsuke."

"Yes, sir!", Tenma and Shinsuke said in sync.

"You don't have to be so tense. If you don't loosen up, you might get injured.", said Endou.

"Hai!", replied Tenma and Shinsuke.

"Only those two came in the end.", said Aoi a bit dissapointed.

"I guess so…", said Midori.

"What are we doing for training, Endou-kantoku?", asked Tenma as he can't wait.

"Tenma, lay those cones out and line them up evenly. Dribbling is your specialty, right?", ordered Endou as he pointed those cones.

"Hai!", replied Tenma as he was so excited.

"We'll polish up your specialty first. Go back and forth on the grounds until I say you're ready.", added Endou.

"Okay!", replied Tenma as he went to set up the cones.

"As for you Shinsuke, we'll train your heading accuracy.", said Endou-San.

"Okay!", replied Shinsuke who was also exciting as he started to practice. Endou went to the managers and asked one of them about something.

"By the way, Where is your other friend? That blonde girl.", asked Endou as he looked at them.

"You mean Haru? Oh, we have asked her that will she go to the riverbank, but she ran away.", said Aoi as she feels dissapointed of Haru for didn't come.

"I see… Her name is Haru?", asked Endou again.

"Yeah, Murasaki Haru. She is half American and half Japanese.", said Midori.

'Murasaki Haru…?', thought Endou as he asked them again.

"If one of you know Haru's American name. You know… dubbed name or even nickname too?", asked Endou again.

"Hm? Dubbed name? Well, I don't know. She never told us her dubbed name to be honest.", said Midori as she thought.

"And she even didn't have a nickname. We called her by her first name, "Haru".", added Aoi.

"By the way, why did you ask, Endou-kantoku?", asked Midori wondered why.

"Nandemonai (nothing)", replied Endou as he smiled and left them.

"Murasaki Haru…", whispered Endou as he keeps repeating Haru's name.

"Just who you are, Haru?"
