My dad had taken us to the hospital to see Jirou and Koujirou, but when we arrived they were already gone, and the nurses said that someone had already taken them out. We assumed that it was my older cousin, Kirigaya Kazuto, because he was near the hospital that Jirou was staying in. But I wasn't sure about this... I mean. Kazuto was our cousin, but who would pick up Koujirou?
"I can't believe them both...." I heard my dad mutter. Now, me, him and Kuroi were driving to the house. After the photo shoot, the me and Kuroi were quickly swarmed my reporters. To be honest, the publicity was kinda nice, but at the same time it was kinda annoying. At least Kuroi managed to get autographs.
"Dang... Where did they go?" Kuroi asked.
"I wish I knew." I muttered.
"Haru, natsu, aki, fuyu
Kisetsu meguri kuru
Naze, naze, koi i na
Owari ga aru no---"
"Rena speaking." I said, answering my phone.
"Rena? It's me, Gina! I'm with Kuroi's cousin, Kenjirou!"
Wait, wait, wait. Koujirou had a cousin, and he didn't tell me, at all?
"Kenjirou?" I asked.
"Yep." I heard a male on the other line. I'm guessing that must be Kenjirou. "We're just here to give a message. Raimon's been demolished and uh... almost every one of your team was injured."
"WHAT?!" I shouted through the line.
"OW! Kouji's right about your large volume..." I heard him mutter.
"Rena, only a few were injured, but even so, they've been injured. Badly." I heard Gina say.
"But how?!" I asked furiously.
"We'll explain tomorrow. Right now, you better get some rest; The Chairman's asking to meet with you all tomorrow." Kenjirou said.
Before I could say anything he hanged up on me. Then I looked at Kuroi. "You have a cousin and you never bothered saying anything?" I asked.
"I didn't know either." Kuroi said, shrugging.
"Your mother is going to be Teikoku's Coach until a new one gets there. For now, you're going on your own." My dad said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe it! We're late!"
I gave Kuroi a dirty look when he said that. Hey, it wasn't my fault that he had woken up late and it wasn't my fault that he didn't get the text yesterday. Now, we were waiting in the riverbank for the others to pick us up in a caravan. Wow. I didn't even know they had a caravan. Well, that's Raimon for you.
I sighed. "Leave it, Kuroi. They'll pick us up when they see us. Besides, we're wearing our casual clothing."
It's true. Kuroi was wearing his orange jacket with yellow hoodie, brown jeans and sneakers which looked worn out. Me on the other hand, I was wearing a plain white shirt and Teikoku's gym pants and my usual rubber shoes.
"Stop!"
The both of us saw the caravan stopped near the tree. We saw Endou, Kidou, and Shuuya come out of it along with a woman with dark green hair, wearing a dark blue shirt, beige jacket, peach pants and black shoes. She's stern, that's one thing.
"And how come you didn't show up?" Kidou asked.
"Kuroi." I answered.
"Genda Kuroi-san and Sakuma Rena-kun." The woman looked at me and Kuroi. "Ex-players of Teikoku Gakuen. One a copy-cat, and another a changer." She said. Wait, Kuroi was a changer?
"We'll explain in the car." Endou whispered.
As the both of us got in, I sat next to Kidou and Kuroi sat at the back with Kabeyama. When we started moving, Endou and Kidou had explained to the both of us that the woman was our new coach, Kira Hitomiko, and she was out to seek the strongest players to defeat Aliea Academy. Gemini Storm was the first team, and Endou had lost to them because of their speed.
And guess who we had to stop over before we moved on again.
"Yo."
"Heyo!"
I saw Hernandez Gina, and Genda Kenjirou. Kenjirou looked like Koujirou, except that he didn't have tattoo marks on his face, and he was wearing a bobby pin to keep his bangs above him. He was wearing a Teikoku gym jacket with a green shirt, old Raimon gym pants, and green rubber shoes.
"Everyone, this is Hernandez Gina, the gymnastic soccer player at Teikoku." Kira introduced. Gina was waving at them, and I swear I saw Kidou blush a little. Aha, so I guess I can tease someone now.
"And you are?" Kira raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. Genda Kenjirou. The ace striker at Arakumo Gakuen." Kenjirou introduced.
"Since when did Genda have a twin cousin?" Kidou asked.
"Beats me. I didn't know he had a cousin." I shrugged.
"Now that's the last stop. We're starting so take your seats." Kira sat next to Furukabu-san as Gina sat next to Asuka and Ichinose and Kenjirou next to me and Kidou.
"So... where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere that involves Gemini Storm." Kenjirou answered.
Looks like aside from Zeus, this would be way worse.
