Also... yeah, making a confession. The lucky guy is... Fudou Akio! I'll do Gouenji's one soon, and a redo of Genda's confession.
Play the video above when Fudou says, "I can't do anything to help, can I?"
Video belongs to CosmoKey!
Also, this is sorta Bleach related; Rena met a boy named Hitsugaya Toshiro and afterwards he died while crossing the road. Daiguren Hyourinmaru is his bankai but for this, I'm making it a hissatsu technique.

"Morning, Rena!"
"Morning." I greeted to Rosa. The day off we had was pretty great. I had bought some key chains and a stuffed toy penguin for myself. Hey, I love penguins. Dun judge. Hehe.
"Sis?" Jirou approached me.
"Yo. What's the matter?" I asked.
Jirou just smiled and handed me a letter. "It's from the gang back at home. Mom and dad wrote one too, but we'll read that before dinner." He said. How come his smile was... sad? A sad smile? Who knew people had that...
I placed the letter on the table and hid it between a couple of notebooks as we all got out and did our training. We were up against Argentina soon, and it was going to be difficult, considering that their defense was tight. Andes, their captain, was the one who invented the technique, but I have a feeling there's more to it...
"How to break down the iron defense..."
I was with Kidou and Jirou. Jirou had a plan that the three of us would train just like we did back when we were in first year, in which was good since we improved since then. We were already taking our break and Kidou was the one who decided to break the silence by thinking of a plan to break down the defense. "It's a big challenge."
"Yeah." Jirou agreed.
"Hey,"
We glanced at Akio. Dang when will he ever get that smirk off his annoying little face?
"Come with me after you've ended practice."
"What do you want?" Jirou asked, a tone of irritation visible in his voice.
"I wasn't talking to you." Akio said. "It's Teikoku's ex-captain that I have business with."
"Hey, you have no right to disrespect my brother." I said, glaring slightly at him.
"Oh right, I also have business with Neko-chan." Akio yawned. I noticed there was a guy with him, wearing the Inazuma Japan uniform and a dirty cape similar to Kidou's. He had black hair and dark blue eyes, and light brownish skin.
"Who's he?" Jirou asked.
"I'm Hitofuri Ichiban." He introduced. "Nika-chan was your sister's teammate."
"Ah, right." I said. "So, what's the business you both have with me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That's right." Ichiban looked at Akio. "I was called here by Hiroto-kun, not you."
******************************************************
"That's all for today's training!"
"You OK, Rena?" Rosa asked, looking down at me. Well, I was lying down on the ground due to exhaustion and from... what Ichiban and Akio said earlier...
I stood up and drank from my water bottle. "You look worried. You sure you alright?"
In reality. I wasn't.
(Flashback: A few hours ago, break time)
It was our break time, and me, Ichiban, and Akio went inside the lodge. We sat down in the kitchen. There was a few minutes of silence before I spoke up."Alright, what's the business?" I asked.
Akio revealed a letter. Shoot. The letter Jirou gave me. How did he find it?!
"This, is the business that I've been talking about." Akio handed me the letter that I was going to read a little while later. I sighed and took the letter from him, and saw the contents inside. Just by reading the first to second sentences already made my heart jump. As I continued reading, I dropped the piece of paper on the ground, looking shocked. Akio nudged Ichiban, who cleared his throat.
"Sakuma-san, the man who threatened your mom is here, disguised as one of the coaches in the FFI." Ichiban said. "And also, don't get shocked at this point. but Kageyama's back."
"K-Kageyama?" I stuttered. Him? Alive?! How can he be alive?! "This better not be a joke, Akio, Ichiban!"
"We ain't joking, Rena." Akio said seriously. It was the first time he said my first name and in a serious tone. "Look, that man; He'll do anything to get his hands on you. And I heard about some guy named Allen trying to make you go back to your dark side again."
"Sakuma-san, I believe your nightmares that predicted twice are the reasons why." Ichiban said. My nightmares... God I hope that my nightmares never come back. Those horrible realities... I don't want them coming back. I don't want to leave everyone because I hurt them. I don't want to face the horror all over again!
"Nami, Clara, and Kazane sent this, all of them writing to say be careful." Akio sighed. Ichiban gave a look of reluctance. I was keeping a poker face but concern washed over me. I was getting scared all over again.
"Rena." Akio held both of my hands, and it was the first time I've seen him smile, but it was... a sad one, identical to Jirou's. "Heh, you're hearing it from me; I like you, and I don't want to lose you for good, ya hear me?"
(Present Time)
"Yawn! Alright everyone! Dinner!"
"Rena, I want to speak with you."
Coach Kudou gave a look of seriousness and concern while the rest were looking at me with concern all over their faces. I gulped silently and followed the coach to... wherever he's taking me. It better not be somewhere that would remind me of my past or anyone (or anything) else involved in this mess.
"Alright. You better explain to her before I tell her my part."
Explain?
Coach Kudou led me outside. There, I saw Kuroi, Natsumi, Nami, Gina, and a boy with darkish blue green hair. What the heck? Why are they here? Especially Nami! "Guys, what on earth in soccer are you doing here? And who's this?" I asked, pointing at the unknown boy next to Kuroi.
"Wow, Rena, you forgot me."
I froze.
"R-Rococo?!" I asked in disbelief. "What the hell?!"
"Sshh!" Kuroi covered my mouth. "We have something to tell you!"
I removed Kuroi's hand from my mouth. "Start talking, or I will scream." I threatened.
Natsumi sighed. "We found out that the man who murdered Matsumoto's parents is here, disguising themselves as a coach for the FFI." She said. Oh great. I can't wait to play soccer when there's a man going to eliminate me and my brother and teammates. (Note the sarcasm)
"We're just going to ask you for help." Kuroi sighed. "We need to arrest that son of a monster before he murders someone else..." He had tears in his eyes already. I gave him a tissue and he blew his nose in it. "OK, then can you explain why Nami's here with Rococo?" I asked. Nami wiped some sand off his head. I guess he went surfing before he went here. "I was called by Gina. As a cousin of Jousuke, I wanna protect him." He said proudly.
"I came here because I'm worried. You might end up in the hospital." Rococo said.
"Are you an idiot? I should be worried about you!" I shouted. "Are you OK?! You never contacted me after you got out of the hospital! Did something happen?!"
Rococo just blinked twice before laughing a little. "You were that worried? Sorry for not contacting you for so long." He patted my head. "I'm fine, don't worry about me." He smiled.
"Sheesh! You could've at least wrote a letter!" I said, flicking his forehead. "Ittai! Rena, that hurt!" "You guys could be a couple..." Natsumi muttered, and me and Rococo said, "No way in soccer heaven!"
"Anyway, sorry we didn't call you." Nami chuckled sheepishly. "We were gonna call, but most of us forgot." "You wanted to call her, we wanted to have a direct talk with her." Gina said, sighing. "Also... this was with your grandma." Kuroi gave a letter. I hesitantly read it...
"...Toshi..." I muttered. "Idiot..."
"Well, aside from this, you're going to be the part time detective." Natsumi said. "Find out what Kageyama's up to."
************************************************************
"I can't do anything to help, can't I?"
Akio and I were under the starlit sky, right outside the dorms. I sighed and shook my head. First, Kageyama Reji's back, the man who threatened my mom is disguised as a coach, Coach Kudou says I have to be absent from the match with Argentina, and now... Toshiro's hissatsu...
"Sorry..." Akio sighed. "I mean... your life would've been easier, or, less troubled if I hadn't done Shin Teikoku." "It's alright. You did it for your mom." I said. Coach Hibiki told me about his childhood, so naturally, I would know. "Rena... did lion head say anything to you?" Akio asked. Why would he ask about Koujirou? "Err... well, depends on what type of 'anything' you're talking about." I said.
"A confession." Akio said.
I froze a little, then sighed before nodding. "Yeah... but----"
With no words, he just hugged me, as if he was going to lose me in a matter of days. "A-Akio? W-What..." I couldn't continue. "Listen... I know that lion head went ahead of me but..."
I froze.
"...I don't wanna lose you."
