Chapter 1

3rd Person POV

He saw it with his own eyes. The girl he treasured and loved all his life, loves someone else. And that someone else is none other than Tsurugi Kyousuke. Hakuryuu hated him. Tsurugi took away the girl that kept him going all those years. And yet, he hated himself. Hakuryuu hated himself for not making a move back when the two of them were still together. He hated himself for letting Tsurugi steal what should've been his. As much as Hakuryuu wanted to beat the daylights out of Tsurugi that time, something stopped him. It's Sukihara Haruka's smile. Hakuryuu never saw her smile like that. That smile only appeared when she was with Taurugi. He didn't want to see that smile vanish, so he just left them alone. He just tried to be happy for them, even though he really can't.

After Hakuryuu left the couple, he set out to return to his apartment.

"I've never felt like this before. Is this what they call the feeling of heartbroken?" Hakuryuu mumbled to himself.

"I hate this feeling..." He added, a frown in his face. And so he went on walking, not even bothering to look where he's going.

In the other direction of the street Hakuryuu is walking on, a girl with fiery red hair and sparkling blue eyes is running past the crowds, trying to get to the other side of the street. She is called Akanoue Rayla. She's as fiery tempered as the color of her hair. She kept running and Hakuryuu kept walking, both coming from opposite directions. She kept running, he kept walking... Running... Walking... As if on cue, both of them crashed onto each other. As i mentioned before, Rayla here is fiery tempered - meaning she gets pissed off quite easily. The moment she realized what happened, she immediately stood up and never even bothered helping the now pissed as well Hakuryuu.

"Oi! Get up! I have no time for this! Watch where you're going next time?! Ugh this is such a pain in the ass! This is all your fault!" She blurted out, making Hakuryuu get annoyed even more.

"What?! Why are you blaming me?! You're the one who's not looking where she's running! And why were you running anyways?! It's still broad daylight!" Hakuryuu shouted and glared at Rayla, who only crossed her arms and looked at the other direction.

"Well that's none of your business! And why would i tell you anyways?! I don't even know you dammit!" She shouted and glared back at Hakuryuu, earning the stares from the people walking on the same street.

"Tch. You still need to apologize girl." He glared back, earning a stomp of the foot on the cold ground from Rayla.

"And why would i do that?! You're the one who should be apologizing! Ugh never mind! If i wasn't in a hurry i would've smacked your face right here and now!" She shouted once again and stormed off to the direction Hakuryuu came from.

"Tch. Idiot." Hakuryuu said and walked in the opposite direction.

Hakuryuu's POV

While walking back to my apartment, all I could think about was the girl I 'accidentally' met on the street. I actually forgot about what i was thinking before, until I saw it again with my own eyes. Tsurugi and Haruka, hand-in-hand, walking in a store. I immediately remembered and felt the pain when i finally decided to let her go... It still hurts...

When I finally reached my apartment, i realized something. Something both interesting and annoying.

'That's strange.' I thought. 'She was actually the one who made me forget a little about my heartbreak. Who could she be?' I asked myself while unlocking the door to my apartment.

In Akanoue Rayla's situation...

Akanoue Rayla's POV
After storming off that guy, i hurried my pace to quickly get to my destination. Where i am going you ask? Well, i'm going to my uncle's house. He called me over because he has something important to tell me. I wonder what it is? When i reached his house, i was surprised to see uncle by the door, waiting for me patiently.

"Oi Rayla! What took you so long? I was worried you little troublemaker! Come inside, i made dinner." Uncle Akio said, moving out of the door and gesturing me to go in.

"sorry sorry, uncle. Something just... came my way." I said while entering the door.

"Hmmm..." He smirked, making me irritated.

"What's with that look?!" I retorted but my uncle didn't remove that smug look on his face.

"Oh nothing really. Wash your hands first before eating okay?" He said.

"Tch. Hai." I replied while going in the bathroom.

I am the daughter of his older sister and they are both quite close to each other. When my mom died, i was left with my father. But father doesn't have time for me because of his work, so i sometimes end up going to my uncle's house and just chilling there. Even though they live together on one roof, his girlfriend, Rukita Saira-san, doesn't mind me being there. Actually, she enjoys my company. We bake pastries, go shopping, or maybe just do girl stuff. That's why they treat me like their own daughter. I don't mind being their daughter, as long as i'm not alone.

I hate feeling alone, but there was this one guy who made me feel warm. He made me feel like i was the most important person in the world. And then, all that changed when he... Cheated on me. He left me, for my best friend. It hurts...

Anyway, when i saw the food he made, i immediately dug in and ate what was served.

"You sure are hungry. What held you up?" I frowned at what he said. He made me remember that annoying ponytailed brat.

"Ugh. Uncle, just let me eat in peace will you? I don't really want to talk about it..." I said and continued to eat the awesome food he made.

"Oh? So who's the guy Rayla?" He smirked while i choked on my food and my face red from the sudden remembrance.

"W-what? What d-do you mean b-by that?" I stuttered, making my uncle's smirk widen.

"Exactly what i mean. So spill the beans."

"Ugh alright. There was this stupid guy who wasn't looking where he was going and accidentally bumped into me. Of course i got angry and demanded an apology, but he kept saying it was my fault and yada yada yada... " i explained. "So will you please leave me in peace ojiisan?" I pleaded.

"Hmmm... Alright. I leave you in peace." He said while chuckling and we continued to eat.

"Oh uncle, what was it you were going to tell me?" I suddenly remembered and stopped myself from eating.

"Oh right. Saira and I are coaching a team and they need a manager." He started.

"So?"

"So i'm asking you, please be a manager for them. Don't worry, if they do anything to you, i'll make sure to give him a good hard smack on the head." He finished, giving a smirk.

"But, i wanna be a player if i'm joining. I was always benched in Raimon." I huffed while crossing my arms and turning my head away.

"That's because girls are not allowed to participate in the Holy Road." He replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"That's the point. I haven't been able to play for the team. And besides, i've heard that girls are allowed to participate in FFI V2."

"Hmm... Okay. You'll be a substitute player for them. And a manager. Is that good?" He said.

"Well... Fine. I'll do it. It's summer vacation after all. I needed something to drive away my boredom. And besides, they won't be able to do anything to me. I'll make sure of that. And if they do make a move on me, i'll be the one to smack them myself." I answered, earning a warm smile and chuckle from my uncle.

"Thanks. Now, continue eating. I don't want to beat my niece in Tekken with an empty stomach!"

"Oh i'll be the one to beat you alright. Just watch me!" I exclaimed and we both laughed.

I stayed there for the night and played some video games with my uncle. When Saira-san came home, her face immediately brightened up and went to talk to me about girl stuff, leaving my uncle there dumbfounded with what we were doing. I wanted to sleep early so i can get myself ready for tomorrow's practice of my uncle and aunt's team, Resistance Japan.

'I hope i make a good impression.' I thought before going to sleep.
