(That's the opening. The opening is from Inuyasha.)

"Ay... this is bad..." Rosa mutter. Hell yeah it is!

The first half ended with two points from the Dark Emperors. Kuroi had heard that Clara was switching in for Someoka, Kazane for Handa, and Tsuki for Shishido. I gulped...

"Coach Hibiki, I know we're not a part of the team anymore, but we can help!" Kuroi pleaded.

"Hmm..." I looked at the others. Then it hit me.

"I got it! Since the rest practically know you're movements, there has to be a plan that can work!" I exclaimed.

"She's right, and our trump card is Tsunami." Coach Hibiki said. 

"Ore?!" Jousuke said in disbelief.

"Think about it, they don't know anything about you, right?" I asked. "The rest can open up a path for you to score a goal in!"

"Man, that's a great idea!" Jousuke exclaimed. "Who knew your friend is like Kidou!"

I gave a glance at Kidou, then he glanced at me... then afterwards, he averted his gaze to the others. "If we get them moving, a space will open up somewhere. Aim for that." He said. 

"Basically... making a rhythm?" Rosa asked. I was about to say that! But, she was first anyway...

"A rhythm of waves, eh?" Jousuke had a confident look on his face. "Interesting." He stood up  with a confident smile. "So when the waves pull back, that'll be my chance. Leave it to me! There's no wave I can't ride!"

Endou stood up. "All right guys, let's do whatever it takes to win!"

"And we'll be the support that helps you with it!" Rika, Megane, and Kuroi exclaimed at the same time.

"You guys can show them that they don't need to depend on the Aliea Meteorite for power and strength!" Rosa exclaimed. 

"Good luck you guys. Also, if you lose... we're goners." I said, looking at Kazane, Tsuki, and Clara. The smirks on their faces were sinister and evil.

As all of them got back on the field, the whistle blew and the game was on. Luckily, Ichinose had the ball and kicked it to Kidou, who kicked it to Asuka, who kicked it to Touko, but Kazemaru had intercepted the pass. 

"What's wrong?" I saw the smirk on his face. "Are you not good enough to attack?"

I saw Endou block him, but Kazemaru got past. To my surprise, Endou had blocked him again, and again, and again.

"You're never getting past me! We will definitely win this match!"

"MOVE!!!"

"Endou/Endou-kun!"

"You bastard!" I shouted. Kazemaru and Jousuke averted their looks on me as Shirou helped Endou up. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Aren't you guys friends?! Don't you even care about Mamoru when you kicked the ball at him?!" I shouted.

"Quiet you replacement!" I heard Clara shout.

"Oh shut up you blondie!" I shouted back. Wait, I didn't flinch when she said that...

"She's right!" Jousuke tried stealing the ball from him when they heard me shout at Clara. I could tell Kazemaru was getting irritated. "Is the Aliea Meteorite that important to you?!"

"What would you know?!" Kazemaru shouted as he hurtfully got past Jousuke.

"No, it's because it's us that we know!" Shirou retorted.

"What?!" 

"I love this team!" Kogure exclaimed.

"And we love Endou, who loves soccer from the bottom of his heart!" Touko shouted. "Just like you guys do!"

"I'm who I am now because I've met captain and the others, and it's the same for Rena, who had darkness in her heart before she met Endou!" Shirou shouted.

"Shirou..." I muttered. 

Touko, Kogure, and Jousuke did, "Perfect Tower", in which the ball was successfully stolen. I saw that Kazane, Shourinji, and Tsuki move back along with Shuuya and Kidou. "Tsunami-senpai! You're chance!" Kuroi shouted.

"I'm letting this opportunity hangin'!" Jousuke shouted as he ran to the goal, receiving Touko's pass. He did, "Tsunami Boost", and it got stopped by "Double Rocket", but the ball got loose and Shirou got it, and did "Wolf Legend", and it got in. 

"Yes, we have the first point!" Rosa exclaimed. 

Then, Jousuke passed the ball to Shirou, and he and Shuuya did "Crossfire". It got through "Double Rocket". "Aha! We're going to win this for sure!" I exclaimed.

"I said quiet! Kazemaru taichou, pass the ball, now."

"Ikisara---"

"I said now!"

Kazemaru kicked the ball to her. Oh no. She was glaring at me. Her beady, little, violet like eyes were glaring at me. I glared back. "Take this, replacement! Dark Wave!"

Tsuki kicked the ball at me with dark waves circling around it. I wasn't confident this time.

I was scared.

I closed my eyes for the incoming pain I was going to face.

But I didn't feel it.

I heard a loud groan and a thud. When I opened my eyes...

...I saw Kuroi on the ground.

"Kuroi!" I knelt down and shook his shoulders. "You idiot! Why did you defend me?!"

Kuroi gave a weak smile. "Hey, your brother's gonna kill me if you get injured twice." He laughed weakly. "Plus, and you're hearing it from my heart this time, you're irreplaceable."

Irreplaceable...?

"You really are an idiot..." I gave a shaky laugh. 

"You'll pay for this!" Rosa shouted as she picked up the loose ball.

"Tch." Kenzaki smirked. "He deserved to be treated badly."

"You prick!" Rika shouted.

"This will all be over, if you three join in, or one of the three anyway." Kenzaki smirk went wider. 

I sighed and grabbed my crutch. "I'll go."

Everyone looked at me. Kazemaru, who looked like he was out of a trance, gave a worried glance. The rest of the Dark Emperors team were just smirking, especially Tsuki. I gave a sad smile at the rest. "I'll hold myself in." I said, before walking to them with a hint of disgust on my face.

"Good choice." One of the henchmen said. 

I have a plan, I just hope it'll work.

"Mind if I see the case for a minute or two?" I asked. 

"I guess a first glance is a first impression." Kenzaki said as he handed me the case. Of course, I grabbed it. 

But I didn't open it.

"Rosa! Endou! Gina's outside so grab this and leave, now!"

I threw the case at Rosa, who immediately responded to my command as she ran to where she came. Endou had followed her, which was a good thing. 

"You little brat!" 

"Ack!"

I fell to the ground.

My crutch was out of my hands. 

I was being strangled.

I couldn't breath.

I can't breath.

"Rena!"

A ball was immediately hit in Kenzaki's face as I regained my breath. But he strangled me for so long that I was losing vision...

"Rena/Sakuma/Sakuma-san!"

Where the only things I heard before falling into a deep sleep...

*********************************************************

"She's waking up!"

"Thank god she's OK!"

I groaned. 

"Urgh... huwat?" I asked as I sat up.

"Kenzaki got arrested, and the Meteorite's dead." A voice said. I looked and saw Otonashi, who sighed of relief. "Kuroi got really mad, you know that?" 

Actually, I can imagine him scolding me right now.

"You really gave us a shock." Another voice said. Natsumi. "We thought you were really going to become a test subject."

"Sorry?" I said.

I felt a pinch on both of my cheeks. "You are stupid, and this is coming from me."

"Yuuto! Shuuya!" I shoved the two persons off.

"Anyway, Kazemaru and the others came to their senses when Kuroi was led to the hospital." Kino said. "Ikisara-san had followed him. Turns out she was his cousin. Also, Endou had sacrificed his life for Rosa, no death or injury was involved, but he did get hit by a bike." She sweat dropped. Did Endou call that sacrifice?

"Sorry, I mean it." I laughed a little. "Food's on me?"

"No, we're sorry, for everything." 

I looked to see Clara and Kazane. "We were stupid in believing Kenzaki... so... sorry!" Kazane apologized, bowing. "On behalf of my brother's stupid lies, I'm apologizing too." Clara bowed down as well.

"Ay... this is..." I looked around...

...then I was hugged.

HUGGED BY FUBUKI SHIROU?!?! OK WHAT THE HELL I AM SCREAMING NOW!!!

"Glad you're alright,"

"U-U-U-Uh... YeahI'malrightdon'tworryaboutit!" I said so fast.

Everything went back to normal, it was as if nothing ever happened. Of course, there were apologies and introductions over food at RaiRaiKen. Clara and I split the bill in half, and afterwards, we just played soccer again. Well, I was sitting on the bench with the girls of course.

Soon it was time for Touko, Rika, Kogure, Tachimukai, and Shirou to leave. We had our bonding moments and they left. Shirou left me a present though; A bonnet. I'm wearing it for Christmas. Considering that this year we're gonna celebrate with our aunt Clarice (from my dad's side) in the states.

Once my leg heals up, I'll go back to soccer, just like before!
